Cover story, p. 29 It’s a tough job, but somebody had to do it. Asked to recall her first drink, Doyle’s response is swift: “My Grandma Audra Belle offered me a cold beer to split with her after a long, hot day of work mowing on their farm when I was 15 or so.” Her pisswater days behind, she’s now a local authority on all things cocktail.

Cover story: “Money To Burn,” July 7

Not only is Jensen and Scott taking advantage of taxpayers, what about all of the other Chief Officers who are Double Dipping. They retire, then get rehired at a large salary, all the while collecting their retirement pay from the department. This sounds just as wrong.

“What a maroon”

Bugs Bunny quote, check it out on YouTube.

The wise-cracking hare was so far ahead of the witless and relentless hunter, Elmer Fudd, that he would consistently turn the tables on his adversary and beat him at his own game.

“What a maroon,” he would say as he outsmarted the dim-witted Fudd.

The 2016 presidential election season, as well as the overall endless political season, has been compared to the “wabbit” hunting season in that famous cartoon series. The politicians are like the crafty rabbit, and we, “The American People,” are the like the slow-witted hunter. They are always getting

the best of us. Duping us with their double talk, abuse of power and shameless antics.

“The American People,” hopefully, might not be as dumb as politicians think. In fact, it is the politicians and their own cartoon culture of privilege and power that is in decline.

This election is an unprecedented example of how confused we have become in our culture of freedoms. Abraham Lincoln said that America would destroy itself from within before any outside force took us out.

He saw this coming.

Take your pick of any of them, down the list of political job seekers, congressmen, senators, government officials, administrators, media stars and pundits, and all the other wannabes. How many times have you listened to their blather on any given issue, tried to understand the motivation and basis of their position and thought, “what a maroon.”

They couldn’t tell you what time it is without hiring a consultant or without bias, and even then you wouldn’t get a straight answer.

I hate to be cynical, but you have to ask yourself, just what good are any of these folks doing for our country as opposed to what good they are doing for their own

careers and special interests? How many of them have we seen self destruct before our eyes? It’s an endless series of job interviews, career moves, winner and losers.

America’s political system and its relentless media coverage has become a cartoonish force of nature in itself. If we’re not careful, we will lose our human instincts to survive in a real world environment, not to mention our independence in the cartoonish environment being created around us by these … maroons.

Debt trap

There has been recent concern across the nation about the problem of high interest rates charged on loans to the working poor.

The problem became acute around 1980, when Congress deregulated credit card interest rates and effectively overrode state usury limits. It worsened when the pay day loan industry emerged in the early 1990s.

History condemns what is going on today. Interest rates were regulated by Hammurabi’s Code nearly two millennia before Christ, and evidence of a hard-nose approach can be found in Western and Eastern cultures throughout time. So, why not here? Why not now? Here, after keeping interest rates largely in the single digit range for 370 years during our colonial and

national periods, we now allow annualized pay-day interest rates in the range of 390520 percent, according to the Center for Responsible Lending. And that repayment burden does not include the wild variety of fees the industry and consumer bank accounts manage to add on as well.

Early republican Rome outlawed interest altogether. As disparity between the rich and poor grew in the later republican period, interest came into play. Even in the period of autocratic government, emperors felt a need to regulate greedy bankers. During the early emperorship, a ceiling was set at 12 percent.

In between the periods of legal prohibition or strict regulation, personal loan rates charged by pawn brokers and other last-ditch lenders could skyrocket up into the range of 40-120 percent. This fueled sharp responses, particular from the church and from nonprofit agencies.

Today, when we continue to remain silent in the face of this virulent, long-term debt-trap set for our sons and daughters and grandchildren, we play the part of inhumane secularists, religious hypocrites and disingenuous lovers of freedom. We place iron shackles of a new kind of slavery on all skin colors, our newly created caste of the untouchable working poor.

OPINION

For the Books

On a bright-hot afternoon recently, I loitered in the cool basement reading Parade Magazine that comes with the Sunday newspaper. I don’t usually pay attention to it, but this one was the “summer reading issue” in which author Ann Patchett picked the “75 best books of the past 75 years.” Lists like these are a bag of chocolate-chip cookies for me. As a sometimes English teacher, I can’t resist them.

The New York Times runs a “My 10 Favorite Books” feature occasionally. In it celebs name their best-book choices. I was surprised to find The Great Gatsby on Bill Gates’ list. Both he and I have Jay Gatsby in our circle of literary pals.

Patchett’s list of 75 faves had a few surprises. I was expecting only fiction, but there was Joseph Campbell’s scholarly Hero with a Thousand Faces. This is the definitive book on myth that inspired George Lucas to write the Star Wars saga. Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child’s famous cookbook, was also on Patchett’s list. I have minimal experience with it, but I do recall a morning when my wife and I set out to make croissants with Child’s recipe.

We abandoned the effort as soon as we read how many hours it would take.

Patchett’s 75 included a favorite of mine, Invisible Man, the novel by Ralph Ellison not H.G. Wells. Ellison spent five years writing it—twice as long as it took David Foster Wallace (DFW) to write the thousand pages of his novel, Infinite Jest. Patchett praises DFW’s Consider the Lobster, a book of essays I must read. I am in awe of DFW’s brilliance, but I foundered 300 pages into Infinite Jest and put it aside. I hate to admit that just as I am embarrassed to confess that I have not read Ulysses or Remembrance of Things Past. Joyce and Proust intimidate me—as does DFW. J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien and Stephen King have entries on Patchett’s list, of course. I am not embarrassed to admit that I have never read any of their books. That admission will be enough for some people

BY JOHN RASMUSON

to conclude that I suffer from a character flaw. Even so, I do have books like The Great Gatsby that are resonant enough to re-read periodically. Gatsby is about the self-absorbed rich that Bernie Sanders railed against: “They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” Another favorite book, Grapes of Wrath, is also a moving portrayal of privilege, class and abused power. The Joad family matriarch is Steinbeck’s most admirable character. My other favorite female characters are Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Anna Karenina in Tolstoy’s eponymous novel. They are nuanced, sympathetic characters of great strength and dignity. I have read their stories multiple times.

Melville dedicated Moby Dick to Hawthorne. Perhaps he was as taken by Hester Prynne as I. When you join a discussion about the Great American Novel, you have to talk about Moby Dick just as a list of the All-Time Best Movies always begins with Citizen Kane. The opening three words of Moby Dick, “Call me Ishmael,” can be modified with a comma to read “Call me, Ishmael,” a fan’s appeal to begin the pursuit of the white whale anew.

I once was a janitor in a huge industrial building. The difficulty for me was to make a four-hour job fill eight hours. I took long breaks in out-of-the-way places where I read books surreptitiously. That’s where I first read Catcher in the Rye. I then bought Salinger’s Nine Short Stories. I remember opening the cover and reading the epigraph. “We know the sound of two hands clapping, but what is the sound of one?” It struck me like an electric shock.

I discovered Hemingway later on. I think I read every novel and short story he wrote, plus his biographies. I was so immersed in Papa Hemingway that I took to writing copycat stories in copycat prose. I eventually moved on, but oddly enough, the Hemingway book I re-read periodically is his posthumous memoir, A Moveable Feast.

I visited his grave in Idaho last summer.

On it devotees had left tributes of whiskey bottles and cigarettes.

Who is the best writer of the 20th century? I heard that question asked in a Q&A session with essayist Roger Rosenblatt and poet Billy Collins. They agreed on Vladimir Nabokov.

I was surprised. I had never read anything by him. I thought of Nabokov’s Lolita and D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover as the equivalent of a soft-porn movie. Both books were famously banned when first published. Utah Senator Reed Smoot denounced Lawrence as a “man with a diseased mind and a soul so black that he would obscure even the darkness of hell!” I read Lolita. It was stunning.

In addition to Lolita, my list of favorite books includes The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien’s Vietnam War masterpiece.

The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of storytelling and the interplay of truth and fiction. Catch-22

by Joseph Heller is the other war novel I have read two or three times. I was in college the first time. I was wearing Army fatigues when I read it again. A soldier’s experience provides a focusing lens on the W WII satire. CW

I WAS ONCE A JANITOR IN A HUGE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. THE DIFFICULTY FOR ME WAS TO MAKE A FOURHOUR JOB FILL EIGHT HOURS.

For those who have made it this far, I hope you are sufficiently irritated by the books I have overlooked. Email your favorites to comments@cityweekly.net.

What book changed your life?

Ivy Watrous: When I was a teen my favorite book was Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. It helped me get through a lot of stuff in my life.

Scott Renshaw: Harlan Ellison’s essay anthology An Edge in My Voice. It was a wake-up call to the way it was possible to write about popular culture with intelligence and refusal to accept the lowest common denominator.

Mason Rodrickc: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I read it in such a dark point in my life, seeing and breathing through the eyes of those imperfectly perfect humans, feeling their weight and coping with the loss of it. The idea of being crushed by their weightlessness, it saved me from a version of myself that I’m afraid of.

Andrea Harvey: All the Harry Potter books.

I grew up with strict parents who barely let me leave the house, which made me pretty antisocial until high school. But I got so enveloped in the HP story largely because it let me live my youth vicariously through the characters. It got me through bouts of depression and ultimately showed me the power of storytelling, which later played a role in my decision to pursue a career in journalism.

Jordan Floyd: Reading Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre was a comforting experience.

It turns out I’m not alone in feeling nauseous about my futile, meaningless existence. If only I could bring ol’ JeanPaul back from death’s void for company.

Kathy Mueller: The first book to change my life was A Wrinkle in Time. ’Twas quite provocative for a pre-pubescent mind.

Randy Harward: I don’t know whether to say Everybody Poops or Catcher in the Rye. Except it wasn’t Catcher in the Rye.

Without getting into the guns and drugs dialogue, there is bad news for Utah children on the mental health front. It’s called suicide. A shocking report from the Utah Department of Health shows that suicides among children ages 10-17 have tripled since 2007. State Medical Examiner Dr. Todd Grey told Fox News that on average there are one or even two youth suicides every day. Last year, that meant some 600 children died at their own hand. There’s a sense of shame and an effort to hide it, Grey says, and “that doesn’t help anybody, really.” Pundits come up with all sorts of reasons, but no one really knows why. Screen time contributes to depression and the availability of guns in the home is a concern.

But the real issue may be mental health itself—the lack of funding and the lack of will to face it.

Well, that U.S. Supreme Court is doing a bang-up job without its ninth justice. Its latest ruling, McDonnell v. U.S., “undercuts the ability of federal prosecutors to use these statutes to prosecute political favors based on providing access to government officials,” The National Law Review says. Can we say Mark Shurtleff?

The Davis County prosecutor just sought dismissal of the case against the former Attorney General, partly because of the ruling—and partly because the feds just wouldn’t part with whatever evidence they have in the case. It’s a damned shame. Shurtleff cannot be convicted or exonerated, but in the public’s eyes, he’ll always be the guy who was on the take— legally.

Real Food Rising

Here’s a better saying than the “teach a man to fish” one: “You can give anybody who’s hungry a can of soup or something, but what will benefit their bodies the most are those nutrients that come from fruits and vegetables.” While it may not be very quippy, it comes from 15-year-old Leah Jang, who told the Deseret News about the Real Food Rising program and its personal impact. Started by Utahns Against Hunger in 2012 and now run by Utah Community Action, the program teaches kids to grow, harvest and cook foods for community lunches, food pantries and soup kitchens. This year, they expect to produce 15,000 pounds of organic and sustainable fruits and vegetables. It’s urban farming at its best, but the way it empowers kids to take hold of their own health through food is remarkable. Not to mention feeding the hungry.

FIVE SPOT

Six years ago, Joel Johnson arrived in Salt Lake City to enter a court-ordered treatment program.

Today, he is a political consultant representing a variety of clients advancing public policy on Capitol Hill, including those involved with behavioral health and criminal justice policy.

How were you able to turn your life around?

I came to Salt Lake from Southern Utah to enter a treatment program that, suffice it to say, had been mandated. As I made my way through the system, I picked up a part time job cold calling for political candidates. At that job, I became friends with Travis, my eventual business partner. He introduced me to someone who offered me an internship during the 2011 Utah Legislative session. I completed my treatment requirements and we began working with Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness, an addiction recovery community organization.

As I improved, I got a job at the Capitol for the next three years and completed a Bachelor of Political Science degree at University of Utah. Then, Travis and I set up our political consultancy, Community Solutions Consulting, to serve clients within and outside behavioral health and criminal justice.

So, you grew from helping yourself to helping others?

It’s quite a deal to help get a bill through legislature and it opened my eyes as to how progressive Utah is with regard to behavioral health issues. State Representative Eric Hutchings from Kearns met with us about dealing with the expungement process, making it easier for people to recover and clear up their criminal records. A resulting bill was passed in 2013 allowing people who get caught up in addiction and mental health issues to clear their record after five years of compliance. This has become one of our areas of public policy expertise.

Is your own past why do you do this?

I am fascinated by the legislative process and how it affects society. As part of my own program of recovery, I try to help other people break the cycle of addiction. When I see something that helps them and affects them for the better, I feel pretty good.

What else has changed for you?

My two greatest accomplishments were convincing my beautiful wife to marry me and, together, having the most amazing little boy three months ago. It taught us how to love more than we thought possible. That’s the real stuff. Professionally, I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in conversations that have reformed a lot of criminal justice and behavioral health policy.

And for fun?

I snowboard at Brighton and a year ago I took up golf. I have a really good time golfing poorly now.

NOW STRAIGHT DOPE HIRING Bugged Out Why are humans so afraid of insects? My first response is to think that insects spoil our food, and a single insect can quickly turn into many, but mice and birds eat our food, too, and mice carry diseases. But almost nobody is afraid of birds, and mice don’t inspire nearly the same revulsion that insects do.

—Nathan I don’t know that I’d nominate mice as an exemplar of an unscary stimulus, to be honest—fear of mice is one of the most common fears out there. It’s got its own entry as a phobia in the DSM-IV, and in most surveys it’s right up there with fears of spiders, snakes, dogs and insects. I’ll give you birds, though. Nobody’s afraid of birds.

But it is true there’s a special weight attached to the fear of bugs, which has received more attention in the scientific literature than mouse phobia has. Plus, there was that Jeff Daniels movie. I’m conflating spiders and insects here, though spiders are of course arachnids; I don’t think too many bug-phobes are busy worrying that distinction. In fact, researchers often collapse a whole bunch of critters into a small-animals category that also includes snakes, worms, etc., being less interested in creature-specific fear than in what motivates powerful fear responses in general.

So why bugs? Some say, maybe unsurprisingly, that it’s evolution: There might just be things humans are genetically predisposed to fear because they once presented us with a distinct mortal threat.

Spiders, for instance: “Humans were at perennial, unpredictable and significant risk of encountering highly venomous spiders in their ancestral environments,” Joshua New, a professor of psychology at Barnard, told the Sunday Times in 2014. Eventually, the idea goes, awareness of that risk crept into our DNA. New was coauthor of a study that year suggesting that humans retain a special ability to quickly identify spiders in our visual field. Subjects answered questions about images they’d seen flashed on a computer screen, which included depictions of spiders, flies and hypodermic needles as well as abstract shapes. The subjects recalled seeing the spiders better than anything else, having evolved—the authors surmised—the need to detect spiders’ presence tout suite.

Tests on young children have also lent credence to the idea that there are some fears people are inherently inclined toward. One 2008 paper, for instance, reported that infants associated footage of snakes with audio of a frightened-sounding voice.

Similarly, you’ll see it argued that a famous depth-perception experiment from the 1960s called the “visual cliff”—in which human babies and young animals must decide whether it’s safe to crawl onto a solid but transparent plank suspended above the floor—demonstrates an innate fear of falling in species that don’t fly or swim.

As always with evolutionary psychology, not everyone’s buying it. Some might point to a quirky study structured roughly like New’s, only here the subjects were first screened with two tests: one gauging fear of spiders, the other measuring in-depth familiarity with the British sci-fi show Doctor Who. (Like I said, quirky.) They were then asked to find a picture of a horse in a grid of other images, including spider photos and Doctor Who stills, and guess what?

Relative to the control group, both Doctor Who fans and arachnophobes were slower to find the horse, suggesting that we’re simply more apt to notice (and thus be distracted by) things we’re already interested in. If you fear spiders for whatever reason, you’ll be more attuned to them; it doesn’t need to be genetic.

Critics also see the evolutionary theory as too convenient: After the fact, “it is quite easy to create a plausible-looking adaptive scenario for a phobia to almost any stimulus,” in the words of one researcher.

Plus, why would people specifically fear small dangerous animals like spiders and snakes, but not larger, predatory animals that also have the potential to do lethal damage—lions, tigers and bears? And why do so many people fear cockroaches, which are practically harmless?

Another theory, then, is the diseaseavoidance model, which suggests that our responses don’t stem from a fear of violent harm but from what researchers have called “the food-rejection response of disgust”; why we fear insects more viscerally than we fear lions, in short, is that (as you suggest) insects are the sort of thing that would mess up our food. A 1997 paper examining fears of various animals among subjects in seven countries found a great deal of cross-cultural consistency in the way people responded to the animals in the “disgust-relevant” category—uncleanseeming critters like cockroaches, spiders, worms, leeches, bats, lizards and rats.

This is all far from settled, clearly. The answer is that nobody really knows where primal fears come from, and there’s some evidence suggesting they can be learned.

Not very satisfying, I know, but hey, it’s nature vs. nurture again! Just a few more millennia of back and forth and we’ll have this very debate encoded in our DNA. n Send questions to Cecil via StraightDope.com or write him c/o Chicago Reader, 350 N. Orleans, Chicago 60654.

Smoke Signals

Amid allegation of questionable bonuses, UFA Deputy Chief steps down.

BY COLBY FRAZIER cfrazier@cityweekly.net @ColbyFrazierLP

P

lagued with faltering leadership and spurred by the sudden resignation of Deputy Chief Gaylord Scott, the Unified Fire Authority board voted on Tuesday, July 19, to split the job of deputy chief into two boardappointed positions.

The move took place during a twohour closed session meeting, during which time the board, headed by elected leaders from across Salt Lake County whose towns and cities contract with the UFA for fire and other emergency services, also accepted Scott’s resignation. Scott will be paid during the 60 days of notice he provided, and will receive his full three-month severance package.

But Scott’s departure from UFA, the board said, would take effect immediately. Holladay Mayor Robert Dahle says the departure makes way for much-needed changes in the upper management of UFA, which is the state’s largest firefighting department.

“We needed to rework the organizational structure at the command staff level, open up communication channels from top to bottom to create a more collaborative working environment,” Dahle says. “It’s an effort to try to get the organization healthy again. I think that’s what everybody wants. That’s the ultimate goal.”

Scott, a 22-year veteran at UFA, cited health reasons for his departure.

His resignation comes on the heels of a City Weekly story that revealed a bonus pay structure that provided Scott, UFA Chief Michael Jensen, as well as the organization’s lawyer and CFO, with more than $400,000 in extra pay over the past five years. In 2015 alone, these four individuals each accepted $34,000 in bonus payments from the Unified Fire Service Area (UFSA), a member of the broader UFA organization that acts as a taxing district for Salt Lake County, Herriman, Taylorsville, Riverton, Eagle Mountain and Midvale.

The bonuses rankled some board members, including Dahle and Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore, who, despite their positions on the UFA

COLBY FRAZIER

NEWS

PUBLIC SAFETY compensation and benefits and finance committees, respectfully, had been kept in the dark about the payments as they were paid without full board approval, or knowledge. The volume of the bonuses also escalated rapidly. A public records request filed by City Weekly shows that in 2011 Jensen, Scott, CFO Shirley Perkins and legal counsel Karl Hendrickson pocketed around $4,000 apiece. In 2012, the number climbed to $17,000, then $19,000 in 2013 and $28,000 in 2014.

While the bonuses, which Jensen says are not bonuses but rather “incentive” payments for work he and his top lieutenants perform for the district that is above and beyond their day jobs at UFA, were stopped for a period of time, they could continue to flow under a memorandum of understanding that the UFA board adopted in March, 2016.

Among other things, this document requires full board approval of the bonus payments.

What Dahle and Cullimore found galling about the bonuses was the fact that they were taking place without full board knowledge. And, in the case of Jensen and Scott, who were being paid for their full-time work as fire chiefs at UFA, appeared to be working some untold numbers of hours on the side for the UFSA. Jensen, who is serving his third term as a Salt Lake County Councilman—a position that pays him $51,000 in total yearly compensation, also receives $225,300 for being the fire chief, while Scott earned $207,000, before the bonuses.

Buoyed by an outside legal opinion given to the UFA board in December, 2015 that showed that the payment scheme violated the chiefs’ employment contracts, Dahle and Cullimore moved to sever the payment arrangement. Instead, the board voted against taking any disciplinary action.

Scott did not respond to calls seeking comment and was reportedly out of town on a Boy Scout trip as the board discussed his resignation.

A second records request seeking all of the gas expenditures of UFA chiefs, deputy chiefs and battalion chiefs, showed that over the past five years, Scott has amassed $28,800 in gas expenditures on his UFA fuel card. Scott, along with Jensen and other top ranking UFA employees, are given vehicles that they are allowed to take home.

While all of the chiefs whose gas expenditures were provided tallied tens of thousands of miles on their company SUVs, no one spent more than Scott, whose monthly gas expenses often crested $500, and every so often, topped $700. By comparison, Jensen’s five-year gas total was $16,600.

In September, 2012, several UFA assistant and battalion chiefs racked

Unified Fire Authority Chief Michael Jensen. up large gas bills. One pumped $544, while another pumped $450 and Jensen burned through $401. At $796, Scott’s gas bill soundly soared above all others. And after tacking on a pair of car washes and three “miscellaneous” purchases, each totaling $8, Scott’s total vehicle bill for a single month crested $850.

The $12,200 disparity between the two chiefs, Jensen says, could be partly explained by Scott’s children’s acceptance into a private charter school in American Fork. Jensen says Scott drives the children from his Herriman home to school in American Fork, then to work and meetings at the UFA’s 28 fire stations scattered across the Salt Lake Valley.

“That could account for some of it,” Jensen says of Scott shuttling his children to school.

Jensen emphasized that he, Scott and all of his assistant chiefs are expected to respond to incidents at the drop of a hat, and that it is necessary for them to often be in their UFA-provided vehicles.

But while there appears to be an avenue to vet gas expenditures for lower level UFA employees with gas cards, there is a hole in oversight at the very top of the organization. Jensen says it would be up to a battalion chief and a captain in the logistics division to notify him if there were ever a discrepancy with he or Scott’s fuel expenses.

Indeed, Battalion Chief Steve Judkins says he has phoned Scott on more than one occasion to check to see if everything is on the up-and-up with his gas card. However, while Judkins says he watches out for anomalies, like gas cards being used out of state, as Scott did in February 2016 in Las Vegas, he says that if the chief says everything is OK with the gas card and it hasn’t been stolen, his line of questions stop there.

“As far as I know, he gets unlimited personal use with his vehicle, so it would have to be something really out of the norm for me to contact him,” Judkins says. “My fear is if it’s something out of the norm, maybe someone got a hold of his card, something like that.

It’s not my job to ask why they were there and what they were doing.”

Several months worth of gas records show that mileage anomalies did exist with Scott’s gas purchases. One such instance occurred in April 2015, when Scott pumped $519 in gas and sprung for three car washes. On two of the nine occasions that Scott filled his tank, the odometer reading that must be entered at the pump was flubbed. These errors resulted in a miles-per-gallon read out on the fuel records of 0.0 for fill-ups that occurred on April 11, 14, 17 and 21.

Odometer errors were noted on at least nine other months of Scott’s fuel reports, which were provided for a fiveyear period.

Jensen says he knows Scott put more miles on his car than he does, but that he “wouldn’t say there’s anything that’s been out of the ordinary that I’ve seen.”

“When I talk to [logistics],” Jensen continues, “they tell me it’s pretty consistent with him.”

While Scott is now gone, Cullimore says the system used to keep gas expenses in check—especially if subordinates are expected to question their boss’s spending—could use a tune-up.

Dahle and Cullimore say that the changes in how the top of the UFA is organized, combined with shedding light on the bonus payments, will combine to make the organization healthier.

Herriman Councilmember Coralee Moser, who represents her community on the UFA board, says that a quick study of the gas expenditures shows a need for a “tightening up” on gas card use.

“I believe that we can work as a board to ensure that our policies are crafted as tightly as possible to protect the taxpayer interests, including creating an objective system to ensure that the top echelon of the fire authority’s purchases receive reviews just as any other employee and we make sure any anomalies are caught before they become longstanding issues,” Moser says.

Former state prosecutor spies potential changes in the criminal justice system.

review committee, which reviews all domestic violence homicides. Close to half of Utah’s homicides from 2000 to 2013 were DV-related, with 2016 already having seen nine deaths. “What we found was that people didn’t have protective orders who should have, people didn’t know about the resources that were available and in cases where there were protective orders, defendants still had their guns,” despite federal law requiring they have no access to weapons.

She calls for more victim advocates, more treatment for victims and more shelter beds, as shelters routinely have to turn away women seeking help. Knowlton also highlights the paucity of treatment for children who’ve witnessed domestic violence, and argues for evidence-based treatment not only for children and victims, but also offenders. “Just sticking them in a program, having them watch a film and telling them not to hit, doesn’t mean that it works.”

Her work with the Internet Crime Against Children task force showed her that while she initially supported mandatory sentences for federal child pornography crimes, she now favors “discerning sentencing,” rather than automatic prison time. “You’re looking at people, not categories,” she says. What surprised her in state court were the number of child porn offenders from 17 into their early 20s who would be placed on the lifetime sex offender registry. She stresses the difference between a 19-year-old who looks at porn of naked teens as opposed to a 38-yearold man downloading medical porn involving the abuse of children. “I don’t agree that one size fits all,” she says. “That’s not justice.

There’s got to be a better way.”

One of the current buzz-phrases in criminal justice is human-trafficking. While advocates and law enforcement rarely agree as to the extent of the problem, or even exactly what the problem is, Knowlton highlights labor trafficking of children by extreme religious groups, but also underscores how little is achieved when there isn’t a victimcentric approach to prosecution.

She cites a trafficking bust at a massage parlor, where the man and woman who ran the establishment were arrested, “and here were all these women who did not claim they were being forced to do this.” With the man who had supplied them with living accommodation and money gone, they were stranded. “There was nothing for them. I think that’s appalling to go in and implode a situation and have nothing for the victims. You can prosecute all you want, but if you don’t have resources for these victims, it doesn’t matter.” CW

n May 2016, retired prosecutor Kristine Knowlton received the Mel Wilson Lifetime Achievement award. It was for “40 years fighting for victims,” wrote two Utah Attorney General prosecutors in their nomination.

While victims’ rights have improved to some degree in Utah in recent years, in part thanks to Knowlton’s efforts and others who’ve pushed for more victim-focused services, recent revelations of how Brigham Young University has suspended or expelled rape victims for violations of its Honor Code, has underscored how far the Beehive State has yet to go.

During her career, Knowlton was a prosecutor who prefered to let her pleadings do her talking rather than give interviews.

Eight months into retirement, she agreed to review areas of concern she’d like to see addressed in Utah’s criminal justice system.

Knowlton, who began her career as a prosecutor in 1979 in Weber County’s juvenile court, had a significant impact on numerous bills relating to victims’ rights. Utah’s director of the office on Domestic and Sexual violence, Ned Searle wrote in his award nomination letter that, “The cohabitant language, the dating violence protective order and countless other terms and language in endless bills were influenced by her through her many years of service.” Knowlton’s rewriting of the elder abuse statute, which had been largely unenforcable up until then, means it now covers physical abuse, neglect, financial and sexual exploitation. “The sad thing is they don’t want to be moved out of their own home, they want the abuse to stop,” Knowlton says.

As a prosecutor at the Utah Attorney General’s office, which she joined in 1996, Knowlton pushed through legislation allowing victims to get a civil injunction against a stalker. That followed a case where a woman had been unable to get a protective order against a former boyfriend because they hadn’t lived together. He subsequently shot her parents and then killed himself.

Knowlton has long championed protective orders, which some Republican legislators have repeatedly claimed were being abused by women to punish men. Most orders that are dismissed, she says, were because the abuser couldn’t be served, not because a victim was lying. In a survey, she recalls nine out of 10 victims said the protective orders had helped them. “I know there’s a myth out there they won’t stop a bullet. Apparently it stops it in 89 percent of the time.”

n Attorney Lee Pearlman finally earned an acquittal in June (after two hung-jury trials) for his client Danielle Goeller—one of a seemingly increasing number of drivers who hit pedestrians but claim they were unaware of anybody being hit. Goeller, 28, a trauma-room nurse with no intoxicants in her system, had struck a 60-year-old man on a busy, heavily lighted Tampa street at 11:45 p.m., cracking her windshield—but drove on without stopping. “What does she think she hit?” asked the prosecutor.

“A deer? A bear?” Responded Pearlman, “She’s a scared girl in the middle of the night who doesn’t have the life experience other people do.”

Bright Ideas Picturesque Torrelodones, Spain (pop. 22,000), has 6,000 pet dogs and apparently few conscientious dog owners, which town leaders say accounts for the nearly half-ton of “litter” that accumulates daily. The town’s latest bright idea: installing a 7-foot-high, 10-by-10-foot brown, inflated plastic “swirly” in the center of town as a reminder to residents to pick up after their dogs. (Spain’s The Local reported in June that other towns have begun to tackle the problem as well, such as with DNA testing of dogs and street-scrubbing punishment for guilty owners.)

n British student Joshua Browder, 19, created an easy-to-use computer app to help drivers fight parking tickets they believe unjust—and now reports that users have won 160,000 cases (out of 250,000), all in London and New York City, by following his question-andanswer “chat” interface at DoNotPay.co.uk. Browder said he was motivated to develop the app (which, as of now, is still free of charge) after himself getting about 30 tickets he says he did not deserve.

WEIRD

World’s Greatest Lawyers Attorney Chris Dyer convinced a jury in La Crosse, Wis., in June that there was “reasonable doubt” about what his client was doing in a family’s basement when he was discovered, pants down, perched (“doggy style”) over the family’s golden retriever, Cooper. Client Daniel Reinsvold (a stranger in the house) told the jury that he has an “intestinal disorder” that makes him subject to “emergencies.” What Reinsvold was doing was apparently perfectly clear to the resident’s 17-year-old daughter, who discovered the scene and reported Reinsvold “screwing Cooper” (and a vet said later that Cooper showed signs of trauma). Nonetheless, Reinsvold was convicted only of trespass and disorderly conduct.

She admits having had to work in an eye mask, breathing mask and thick gloves, out of fear of donors’ hygiene habits.

The Passing Parade A bicycle thief was stopped on June 10 when the bike’s owner and several other people chased him from the Wal-Mart parking lot in Eagle Point, Ore., drawing the attention of a passing rider on horseback (Robert Borba), who joined the chase and moments later (according to a report in Portland’s The Oregonian) lassoed the man and restrained him until police arrived. n A kite surfer on a Sussex beach south of London got into trouble on June 26 and was unable to float back to land—until he was rescued by two Good Samaritans in kayaks. The saviors happened to be dressed as Batman and Robin for participating in the Shoreham Beach Superhero Paddle.

Wait, What?

Not only are almost all federal employees above average, they are nearly all superior workers, according to a June Government Accountability Office review of agencies’ personnel-rating results. (Yes, the review included the departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.) Most agencies use a 1 (“unacceptable”) through 5 (“outstanding”) rating system, and GAO found that 99 percent were rated either 5 or 4 (“exceeds ‘fully acceptable’”). n Not many DUI stops result in attempts to locate the suspect’s chastity belt key, but the May 14 sobriety checkpoint stop of Curtis Eidam, 35, in Clinton, Tenn., did. Eidam was outfitted in “red mesh see-through hose,” according to the police report, with a ribbon tied in his goatee, and also a “little skirt” (perhaps a tutu), when he told officers he needed his key, which happened to be on a necklace worn by his passenger (a “highly intoxicated” 44-yearold woman). Thus, Eidam was able to unlock and remove the chastity belt, which had been “attached to his penis.” (There was also a handgun—illegal in Tennessee for an intoxicated person to carry.)

For a truly collaborative art form like theater, it often feels unfair to single out one contributor, at the risk of slighting the others. Yet it’s hard not to notice when one name keeps popping out of the program for every standout element.

For Sleeping Beauty’s Dream, that name is Javen Tanner, artistic director of The Sting & Honey Co. Tanner directed this family-friendly production, which cross-pollinates the familiar fairytale story of Princess Aurora (Zel Bromley)— cursed into an enchanted sleep by a jealous witch (Susan Maurer Barry)—with that of Siegfried and Brynhildr from Norse legend and Wagner’s Ring of the Niebelung, as part of an intriguing study of “lost daughter” mythology. And he does so with a script that he wrote, crafted almost entirely in couplets of iambic pentameter.

But Tanner also contributes to the Shakespearean vibe by playing the role of the story’s comic-relief fool, Robin, in asides that have virtually nothing to do with the main plot but deliver a charming burst of silliness. Tanner also designed the stunning primary set piece, a marble-patterned slab wrapped in bramble-like branches, and contributed to the unique choreography of slow-motion sequences in which the Valkyrie push and pull on warriors on the battlefield to shape the outcome. It’s a gorgeous, intelligent production rich enough to satisfy all ages, full of solid performances—and guided by one multi-talented individual. (Scott Renshaw) The Sting & Honey Co.: Sleeping Beauty’s Dream @ Waterford School Performing Arts Building, 1700 E. 9400 South, July 21-22, 7 p.m.; July 23, 3 p.m. & 7 p.m., $10-$15.

It’s been a rough 2016 for losing some of the most iconic artists, athletes and public figures of the past 50 years. Sometimes it takes losing these people, whose lives touched our own, to be reminded of their importance. And sometimes placing the work of those people in a new context can show just how amazing it was.

David Bowie may have been celebrated in circles far different from those usually associated with the symphony, but that isn’t stopping Utah Symphony from dedicating one of this summer’s Deer Valley Music Festival programs to his songs.

Guest conductor Martin Herman leads the musicians in an evening that will explore the range of Bowie’s pop songcraft, with selections that have been radio staples throughout the 1970s, 1980s and beyond, including “Space Oddity,” “Changes,” “Under Pressure,” “Heroes,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Fame” and “China Girl.”

Accompanying the symphony as vocalist will be Tony Vincent, who may be best known as a contestant on 2012’s Season 2 of The Voice.

But Vincent has had a long career performing in musicals including Rent and the original cast of Green Day’s American Idiot, as well as stepping into the hard-to-fill shoes of Freddie Mercury singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” with the surviving members of Queen during Queen Elizabeth’s 50th anniversary celebration. Join Vincent, Herman and the Utah Symphony to learn how some unique arrangements—in the spectacular outdoor venue of Deer Valley—highlight Bowie’s unique talents.

More than a book in the Bible, Exodus, in these modern times, seems either involuntary possibility or tragic reality in many corners of the globe.

For the rest of us, these are matters to witness and discuss. For an artist like Charlotte BoyeChristensen, choreographer and co-founder of NOW-ID, contemplating Exodus offers an opportunity to, as she puts it, “explore the inner human journey—the psychological and emotional—and to allow too for optimism and hope.”

Exodus, the title of Boye-Christensen’s latest creative endeavor, explores new territory. While the company’s productions often incorporate a variety of artistic media—experimental lighting, sound design, spoken word, performance art, dance—this will be their first dance/opera.

Created in seven movements—crisis/hope, home, separation, dream, wave, borders, hope/crisis— the original opera, by Danish composer Peter Bruun and lyricist Ursula Olsen, is sung in both Danish and English without subtitles, encouraging the audience to experience confusion and disorientation—and, above all, empathy for those for whom such feelings are a daily reality. Alongside the music, the dancers, Salt Lake City’s own Tara Mcarthur (formerly with Ririe-Woodbury Dance Co.), Adrian Fry and Katherine Lawrence (both currently with Ballet West) use movement to interpret the emotions.

Before the production moves to Denmark’s Copenhagen Opera Festival, Utah audiences will have the first chance to respond to Exodus, which premieres this week in Salt Lake City. Join the international cast for a post-production closing night after-party. (Katherine Pioli) NOW-ID: Exodus @ Marriot Center for Dance, 330 S. 1500 East, Bldg. 106, University of Utah, 801-581-8231, July 27-29, 7:30 p.m., $25-35, July 29 after party 8:45 p.m., $70.

July is shaping up to be a rather Glee-ful starstudded month. Matthew Morrison, who played popular character Will Schuester in the hit TV series, was just in Park City performing with the Utah Symphony; and now the actor who played similarly popular character Kurt Hummel is coming—though he won’t be singing. Colfer, in addition to his remarkable vocal talents, is now also a prolific author, and will be in town to sign copies of his most recent book, The Land of Stories: An Author’s Odyssey.

This middle-grade fairy tale is the fifth in a series that is, at this time, planned to include an additional five stories. The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell is the one that started it all.

Following twins Alex and Connor Bailey, the story weaves modern-day realities with the magic of fairy tales, to create something comfortably familiar while at the same time engagingly original.

Colfer will be giving a presentation in conjunction with the signing. Expect a Land of Stories trivia game and costume contest as well. Seats can be reserved by pre-ordering copies of the book from the King’s English Bookshop. Seating for non-ticketholders will be available on a limited basis.

Attendees will be treated to never-beforereleased information on the series, in addition to having their books signed. There has been no word yet, however, on whether Colfer will be sharing any of his proven musical talents.

tah as we know it today was constructed out of the aspirations of the early settlers to the area, without anything to support the notion that they could successfully build cities in a desert, except the visions in their heads. As with every place on earth, the state has its own architecture, which becomes both a reflection of the people who live here, and a force that shapes the way they live their lives.

Local artists have often created depictions of architecture, perhaps as a way of contemplating its effects. The state of Utah’s permanent art collection includes many of these depictions, and Architecture of Place assembles 20 of these works at Alice Gallery for a survey of the subject.

And while it only features 20 pieces from a collection of over 1,400, it’s nevertheless a remarkable distillation.

The curator of the exhibit, Felicia Baca of the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, says of the show’s subject matter, “It was a theme that emerged on its own from being familiar with the collection. … I was looking at work that displayed some kind of architectural structures throughout time, in different sorts of landscapes, like LeConte Stewart’s ‘Cabin in the Hills’ [oil on canvas, undated].” The cabin in Stewart’s painting is a prime example of a Utah rural structure of the mid-20th century.

Carlos Anderson’s “Deseret Store & Tithing Office” (pencil, 1934), the oldest work in the show, also evokes a specific cultural place and time, and resonates deeply with the state’s history. Works in the exhibit aren’t all representations of local scenes, however. Moishe Smith’s “Jerusalem: Outside the Wall” (intaglio/etching, 1990) is a striking tableau of the Israeli capital.

In addition to works from the state’s fine arts and public arts collection, two pieces in the exhibit represent folk art: a retablo

by Jeronimo Lozano titled “House of the Red Tile Roof” (2003) representing laborers, and a papercut by Ada Rigby of the Salt Lake Temple, “Papercut of Life Story” (1990), which includes the religious edifice and pioneer scenes.

Although only a few of the featured works actually depict people, the buildings imply inhabitance. Works by Joey Behrens, Daniel Everett, Andrea Jensen, Bonnie Schen-

kenberg and Justin Wheatley depict sites that are indeterminate, where the “there” isn’t there, and in the view of contemporary artists, architecture seems to be becoming homogenous.

Ada Irvine’s silkscreen/serigraph “City” (undated) is a composition that’s barely recognizable as architecture, stylized plateau-like shapes that create the sense of a city by their overlay of colors.

But then David Brothers’ “Aydr” (digital photo, 2016)—the most recent addition to the state’s collection, part of the documentation of his installation “Rolithica” earlier this year at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art—is a depiction of a site that appears completely fictional, populated with puppets. Brothers describes his piece as “something akin to an informational kiosk at the mall, or possibly a display or diorama to explain, at the visitors’ center, what you’re going to see. The nature of the place would be antiseptic, matter-of-fact and dumbed-down.”

Baca says of “Aydr,” “This place isn’t a real locale, but the place is rather an emotional one that seems precarious, degrading, familiar and strange, all at the same time. This one in particular speaks to the ways architecture comes to resemble social or cultural relationships.”

The exhibit also examines newer uses of structures. “Daniel Everett’s works [Antenna I and II] show us that the architectural space is transcended by way of the structure. The antenna and what would appear to be satellite dishes likely communicate with other structures in other places.”

Troy Wenzel’s “The Guard Tower” (mixed media, undated) reflects ways in which

David Brothers’ “Aydr,” 2016

architecture can be used as an element of repression and control. It’s an ambiguous statement about the nature of authority, and the way it can be enforced through architecture.

Architecture of Place examines not only a number of places where local art and artists have been, both literally and figuratively. The exhibit contextualizes the works along a rough continuum of local art history up to this point, showing us the place on which we stand, and might use as a point from which to venture farther.

Society has evolved so that places exist more closely in relationship to each other, interconnected and interdependent. As time goes on, artists more deeply ponder our place in the world and our relationship to it. “In some ways this is a changing or evolving perspective,” Baca says, “as we have access to a broader awareness of world affairs through technology. While these ‘places’ are reflected by physical structures, they point toward sociocultural indicators such as lifestyle, politics, class, economics or religion.” CW

Days of ’47 beverage pairings for the valley’s finest pies.

Piper Down’s shepherd’s pie

TempleSquare.com/Dining) in the historic Joseph Smith Memorial Building, on Pioneer Day or any other time. However, you will find what many consider to be the best damn turkey pot pies in the state, and maybe on the planet, made with flaky, rich Lion House pie dough. I’d recommend getting pot pies to take out. You’re going to want something that is smooth and creamy (like the pot pie itself) to drink. Think in terms of a lightly oaked or unoaked chardonnay such as a nice French chablis. Or, a good beer to pair with chicken pot pie would be a Red Rock Brewery Golden Halo Blonde Ale, with light malts and subtle herbal notes.

Hey, what about pizza pie? There are lots of options here. I’m certain that The Bayou (645 State, 801-961-8400, UtahBayou.com)— aka beervana—will be hopping on Pie and Beer Day. Where better than to spend the holiday than at a place with 425 different bottled beers to choose from, plus another 27 on draft? I’d get there early and order a jambalaya pizza, which calls for a Meantime Old Smoked Bock; it is slightly smoky, like the pie’s andouille sausage. For a classic New York-style pizza pie, look no further than Este Pizzeria (multiple locations, EstePizzaCo.com). This is the real deal. And, frankly, I enjoy their pizza so much that I tend to relax and not be too finicky about beverage pairings. Sometimes I’ll have a soda; at other times, a glass of house red wine or a $1.50 Pabst Blue Ribbon does the trick.

And there you have it. Happy Pie and Beer Day! CW

but have pledged not to reveal it. Let’s just say your grandmother would approve. You can grab the sandwich and slice of pie special at Left Fork Grill anytime, but if you’re in the market for a whole pie, be sure to call 24 hours in advance. It would be a no-brainer to enjoy Masten’s raspberry cream pie with a cold mug of Wasatch Brewery Raspberry Wheat beer—one of my favorite summertime sippers. Or, enjoy a peach pie with Epic Brewery’s Brainless on Peaches Belgianstyle Ale. It’s part of Epic’s Exponential Series, aged in oak casks, and also pairs nicely with chocolate and fruit cobbler.

At MacCool’s Public House (multiple locations, MacCoolsRestaurant.com), they serve up both classic shepherd’s pie and a more modern version with ground buffalo, venison and andouille sausage.

The buffalo shepherd’s pie is simmered in Tetley’s English ale, so why not enjoy a cold pint of Tetley’s along with your pie?

For the more traditional shepherd’s pie made with roast beef, I’d lean toward an inexpensive Bordeaux or versatile Côtesdu-Rhône Villages or just a good ol’ Guinness Stout. Piper Down (1492 S. State, 801-468-1492, PiperDownPub.com), too, cooks up a great shepherd’s pie, and theirs is made with ground beef and topped with mashed potatoes and gravy. I think I’d select a Strongbow Hard Cider or Bohemian Brewery Viennese Lager from Piper Down’s draft beers to pair with it. Or, go all-in and spring for a dram of Tullamore Dew 12-Year-Old Special Reserve Irish Whiskey.

You will not find booze at the Nauvoo Café (15 E. South Temple, 801-539-3346,

f you’re reading this from beyond the bounds of the Beehive State, you’ve likely never heard of Pioneer Day. It’s an official Utah state holiday celebrated annually on July 24, to commemorate Brigham Young and the first Mormon pioneers’ entry into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. In conjunction with Pioneer Day, the Days of ’47 parade and rodeo are held on the same day. Some of us who are not of LDS faith (and, I presume, some who are) affectionately refer to Pioneer Day as Pie and Beer Day—a faux holiday that’s celebrated with dessert and brew parties.

(Mormons are supposed to avoid alcoholic beverages.)

At Uinta Brewing Co., employees bring pies to eat while sipping Uinta brews, and a Best Pie contest is held. A few years ago, KRCL radio’s “Bad” Brad Wheeler came up with the idea to hold a pie-and-beer party as a fundraiser for the station. Today, KRCL’s Annual Pie and Beer Day is a Salt Lake City staple. Local breweries will team up with local chefs to produce brews and pies for the event, which will be held on Sunday from 5-9 p.m. at downtown’s Beer Bar (161 E. 200 South, 801-3553618, BeerBarSLC.com). Chef-made pies in past years ran the gamut from sweet cream to a pork pie (snout included) and a smoked cherry pie with a balsamic glaze.

Tickets (aka “Pie Passes”) are available at the door for $25 per person, first come, first served. Be sure to show up early, as this event is very popular. Likewise, up in Huntsville, the holiday has become a very popular event at the Shooting Star Saloon (7350 E. 200 South, 801-745-2202, ShootingStarSaloon.co), with lots of fruit pies and plenty of tap beer.

You know me; I’m always looking for interesting and effective food and drink pairings.

So I thought, why not pie? Here are some partnerships featuring pies, beers and other beverages to please the pioneering palate.

Many of those in the know agree that owner and chef Jeff Masten’s Left Fork Grill (68 W. 3900 South, 801-266-4322, LeftForkGrill.ipower.com) makes some of the best pies in the valley. I know one of his secrets,

Vivere Veneto

One of the most exciting new restaurants to hit town in a while has opened in the space that was previously home to Forage. It’s called Veneto Ristorante Italiano (370 E. 900 South, 801-359-0708, VenetoSLC.com)—named for the northern Italy region that owner Marco Stevanoni hails from. Stevanoni and his wife Amy are committed to serving authentic fare representative of the cuisine found in Marco’s hometown of Verona and its surroundings. Having had a sneak preview of some of the food at Veneto, I can say that I was bowled over by the rich flavors of dishes such as homemade bigoli pasta with duck ragu. The food I tried was simple, but sensational.

It’s also Utah’s first non-tipping restaurant. “There is no tipping in Veneto, so there is no tipping at Veneto,” Stevanoni says. “We’ve thoughtfully hired a team of hosts, servers and chefs who are dedicated professionals. And we treat them as such, paying them professional salaries for being an essential part of the team.

We don’t want our guests wrapping up an incredible evening crunching numbers for a tip.”

Veneto serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday. I recommend reservations; this place is gonna get hot.

15th & 15th Tavern

Scott Evans’ (of Pago Restaurant Group) newest restaurant venture is now a reality. Trestle Tavern (1513 S. 1500 East, 801-532-3372, TrestleTavern.com) opened earlier this week in the space that formerly housed Fresco Italian Café. Wanting to name “a neighborhood tavern after something uniquely Utah,” Evans says, “Trestle Tavern is named after the trestle wood native to Utah, which made the railroad tracks for the Lucin Cutoff in the early 1900s.” Serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, the restaurant features cuisine with an eastern European flare. Chef de Cuisine Troy Thomas’ menu includes fare like chicken paprikash, pierogies, summer borscht, spätzle, the Trestle burger and more.

There’s also a carefully curated beverage list with craft beers, ciders, cocktails and spirits to enjoy inside or out in the shaded courtyard, one of the best al fresco spots in the city.

Stills in the Hive Getting into the Pioneer Day spirits.

BY TED SCHEFFLER comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

T

he recent boom of Utah distilleries making artisan gin, vodka, bourbon, rum and more would have been nearly unthinkable even a decade ago.

That’s about when David Perkins, formerly a biochemist, founded Park City’s High West Distillery (HighWest. com) in 2007—the first legal distillery in Utah since the 1870s. Since that time, he’s had to build a second location near Wanship at Sky Blue Ranch, in order to meet the demand for High West products worldwide. Can this really be Utah?

I doubt even an optimist like Perkins could have foreseen, when he started High West Distillery with a 250-gallon still, that his whiskeys would find worldwide fame, and that he’d need to build a 1,600-gallon copper pot still to produce award-winning whiskeys such as Rendezvous Rye, Campfire Whiskey, Bourye, Yippee KiYay, American Prairie Bourbon, High West 7000 Vodka and The Barreled Boulevardier. “Whiskey Dave,” as I like to call him, is a modern-day pioneer.

Having tested the market and found it to be a quickly growing one, a number of new distilleries have sprung

up in Utah. The more, the better. Salt Lake City-based Beehive Distilling (BeehiveDistilling.com) launched in 2013 when co-founders Matt Aller, Chris Barlow and Erik Ostling created the state’s first gin distillery since 1870. Beehive’s Jack Rabbit Gin incorporates crushed juniper berries, lemon peel, sage leaves, coriander seeds, orris root, grains of paradise and rose petals into its formula, while their Barrel Reserve Gin is said to be all about “wood, fire and patience.” It is aged in charred French oak wine barrels before resting in the distillery for around nine months. These gins could make a nice addition to your Pioneer Day. It was also in 2013 when James Fowler, with more than 20 years of personal brewing experience, founded Sugar House Distillery (SugarHouseDistillery.net).

He first created his small-batch vodka with no artificial flavors, colorings or additives, before also distilling silver rum, gold rum, malt whiskey and bourbon. His business has had an especially good

year in 2016, having earned both a gold medal and “Best of Category” from the American Distilling Institute for the bourbon, and a bronze medal for the silver rum.

If you’ve ever seen the eye-catching bottle of Underground Herbal Spirit at your local watering hole or in the liquor store, you should know that it is made by Ogden’s Own Distillery (OgdensOwn.com). Considering its potent 80 proof, Underground is a surprisingly smooth liqueur, made with an exotic blend of ingredients ranging from cassia, angostura, anise, cardamom, gentian, yarrow, wormwood, mate, guarana, ginseng, molasses, orange oil and lemon oil, to spearmint, pure cane sugar, agave and plum. Ogden’s Own also produces the popular Five Wives Vodka and Porter’s Fire Cinnamon whiskey liqueur.

Midvale is home to Denise and Kirk Sedgwick’s Outlaw Distillery (OutlawDistillery.com), which launched in 2015.

The mechanically minded Kirk actually designed and built all of the distillery’s equipment. Current Outlaw products include rum, white whiskey, bourbon, moonshineand a spiced rum that’s not only delicious by itself but can also give spiced rum cake an added lift.

When business partners Aaron Ilott and Jesse Farrer created Elevation Distilling (SaltCityVodka.com) it was in order to produce vodka that would be tasty enough to drink neat. The result, after nearly seven years of scheming, testing and formulating, is Salt City Vodka. Made from 100 percent corn, which has a natural sweetness, this vodka should have a place on your Pioneer Day table.

New to the party is recently opened Dented Brick Distillery (DentedBrick.com), makers of Antelope Island Rum. And, look for New World Distillery (NewWorldDistillery.com) to open during fall of 2016 in Eden, Utah. CW

The Westerner

Two words: mechanical bull. You need more than that?

OK, this Redwood Road mainstay is rife with entertainment, from the designated soundproof karaoke room, to the region’s biggest dance floor and live local and touring bands on Saturdays. If there were any doubts that country is alive and well in Utah, just stop by to witness the up-to-1,500 boot-scootin’ boogiers who come through the door each weekend—as they have for generations. 3360 S. Redwood Road, West Valley City, 801-972-5447, WesternerSLC.com

Sawadee Thai Cuisine

Standards here include pad Thai and spring rolls, but for something more adventurous, try honey-ginger duck or Thai curry puff. Vegetarians can rejoice over a menu full of meatless appetizers and entrées, and if that’s not enough, tofu can be substituted for any other meat dish. Hot and spicy dishes include the Thai curries, which can be tamed to your specification. Be sure to take a peek at the extensive list of wines, including some from Utah, Australia and, of course, Thailand. 754 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, 801-328-8424, Sawadee1.com

rom traditional absinthe service (without the legendary sidecar of cuckoo) to that tiki torchlight classic the zombie, Beehive State imbibers have a bounty of bevvies at their boozy fingertips. We’ve curated an arsenal of aperitifs, local ingredients and top-notch purveyors all available in our salty city and beyond. The most wonderful thing about this list? It was really damn hard to limit the mix to 26 stars in the spotlight. Here’s a hearty “Cheers” to our city’s great bars, talented brewmasters and distillers, ingredient artisans and all of the folks who are raising the bar of craft spirits statewide.

eer Cocktails Yes, really. Think subbing out the soda part of any highball with an appropriately profiled beer and enjoy the depth of flavor and zing it’ll bring to the glass. Hops havens like Squatters (multiple locations, Squatters.com) and Beer Bar (161 E. 200 South, 801-355-3618, BeerBarSLC.com) have been bringing this beery boozefest to local glasses with much acclaim. Locals can try a spin on Brazil’s national cocktail with a Caipbeerinha at Beer Bar, a perfect refresher on their sunny patio while live-streaming the Olympics from Rio, perhaps (and without the risk of Zika. Yikes). And the fine folks at East Liberty Tap House (850 E. 900 South, 801441-2845, EastLibertyTapHouse.com) have been keeping us surprised since they opened in February of 2015 with a beer or cider cocktail on rotation on the drink menu. Said ELTH owner Scott Evans shortly after the tavern’s opening, “In a market where most of the beer tap handles look the same, we’re bringing in more hardto-find imports, seasonal brews, Belgian sours and hard ciders.”

JULY 21, 2016 | 29

Dubbed the “green fairy” by artists like van Gogh, Degas, Picasso and others of their ilk in late 19th century Paris, absinthe is a chartreuse-colored high-proof booze famous back in the day for getting people both messed up and kinda crazy. Old-school absinthe was made with Artemisia absinthium—commonly called wormwood—which in and of itself is a pretty useful herb used to treat fever, worm infections (yeah, eew) and jump-start appetites of the culinary and carnal varieties. Win-win, right? The downside?

Wormwood also might contain inconsistent levels of the chemical thujone, a central-nervous system stimulant that in high concentration causes seizures, hallucinations and even death. Even though the hallucinogenic hype was never proven, absinthe was banned in the U.S. until distillers could guarantee safe levels of thujone in wormwood, and bottle a legal approximation of absinthe under various commercially available labels. Traditionally it’s served neat in a glass, into which drops of icy cold water drip from a decorative urn over slotted spoons with an optional sugar cube resting on top.

The ice water forms an undulating swirling mass—adding to the psychedelic vibe—called louche (“cloudy” in French).

Don’t want to invest in all this bar hardware yourself? Check out some local haunts doin’ this service right, like The Rest (under Bodega, 331 S. Main, 801-532-4042, Bodega331.com) and Under Current Bar (270 S. 300 East, 801-574-2556).

LA BARBA CAPITOL BLACK COLD BREW

Cold Brew Coffee Think of it as the hot (er, cool?) mix of choice for summertime sipping. Get your caffeine fix and booze rations in all in one go with this beaut of a bottled mix-in. Try local favorites like La Barba Capitol Black Cold Brew or pick up artisan java by the jar at spots like Caputo’s Market (multiple locations, CaputosDeli.com).

Here’s my personal jumped-up spin on the Kentucky classic of my formative drinking years, the mint julep:

n To a mixing glass add 1.5 ounces bourbon, 2 dashes chocolate bitters, 1.5 ounces (or more, to taste) simple syrup and 2.5 ounces cold brew coffee. n Stir for 40-50 revolutions with cracked ice, strain into a tall glass filled with ice. n Float a bit of cream on the top if desired.

Garnish with mint. Sip through a straw. Sigh.

Cold Brew Julep:

BUMBLE, THE OFFICIAL MASCOT OF THE SALT LAKE BEES

Whatever you do, don’t call her a mixologist. As Ms. Eldredge told a rapt crowd of food and drink aficionados at a recent PechaKucha event held at Publik Coffee, “It’s a ridiculous term. … I’m proud to be a bartender.” She’s the bar consultant and drinks program developer for such hot spots as Under Current and Rye (239 S. 500 East, 801-364-4655, RyeSLC.com) and past president of the Utah Chapter of the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild. Ask her why she loves being a bartender and you’ll hear: “I’ve always been a creative type, and I’ve dabbled in a lot of mediums like music, cooking, writing and painting.” Eldredge later found her niche in cocktails and soon realized “the sky was the limit” when she started experimenting with fresh juice and syrups, rediscovered reclaimed spirits, “and the technicality and precision that I’ve always respected in any craft.” On her fellow cocktail masters, she says, “The community of cocktail is such an eclectic group of like-minded peers and I love being a part of a collective team. I love my career

Chugging on brews like a crisp Wasatch Apricot Hefeweizen in the outfield watching Salt Lake Bees baseball is one of the best ways to spend time during a Saturday double-header.

Or our favorite way to skip out of the office? A Thirsty Thursday lunch date, where $10 gets you seats anywhere in the ballpark and a hot dog with soda.

To gild that already fab lily, 12-ounce pours of domestic draft beers are only $2.75 during all Thursday games. How’s that for a home run? The fine print: There’s a limit of two per customer in line, and you’ll probably finish one on the way back to your seat, so plan ahead.

And only in Utah are the lines for beer usually shorter than for ice cream.

The exception? On Thirsty Thursdays, the lines for microbrews and faves like Shock Top stack up early.

because I can be expressive with creativity, I meet new and interesting people every day—many of whom end up becoming dear friends—and I can be myself.” Among our city’s cocktail cognoscenti, Eldredge has been a champion for recognizing the skill of professional bartenders, and is an ardent critic of the Zion Curtain, which as she said at that same PechaKucha presentation, “is an institution that undermines everything about the art of cocktails.” She believes that customers deserve to see the ingredients, care and skill that goes into making their drinks, which can be seen at a bar, but not at a bewildering mishmash of restaurants in Utah. Eldredge has mentored countless bartenders from coast to coast, and is a huge supporter of booze education. At Under Current, she’s been instrumental in setting up the types of classes that were previously reserved for industryonly attendees. Now curious civilians can learn about subjects like absinthe, artisan bitters and rare Italian amari with a slew of experts at the bar’s sold-out classes held every few weeks.

Ginger Beer vs. Ginger Ale

JULY 21, 2016 | 31

Yup, there’s a difference. Ginger ale is sweet, with a mild spice element making it the perfect combo with bland crackers when you have a tummy ache (thanks, Mom), or in traditional highballs like whiskey-ginger, where you want the whiskey flavor to shine through. Ginger beer is a non-alcoholic concoction with more pronounced ginger flavors and strong citrus notes and has a milder sweet base. Drinks needing a bit more “punch” in the nose, like a dark and stormy or Moscow mule, call for using ginger beer. Keep it local with SLC-made Garwood’s Ginger Beer.

Described by its makers as a “symphony in a bottle,” the sweet-tart sparkly nectar is available at the Downtown Farmers Market and independent markets ’round town.

Pull out your tiny violin for this food and beverage writer’s lament. Sure, we eat and drink in excess all over town and call it “work.” Downside? Lots of time spent on the treadmill and some brutal mornings following a night (or three) of gluttony. Most medical professionals will agree that the best solution is to either not imbibe in the first place or partake of some serious re-hydration in the aftermath. But for the dirty low-down cures, here are some local booze scribes’ picks for pulling off a speedy recovery: Devour Utah contributor and “Amanda Eats SLC” blogger, Amanda Rock: “McDonald’s cheese and egg biscuit, greasy hash brown and weird watery OJ. It works. That OJ is watery magic. And the grease that seeps through the hash brown wrapper? Even better.”

“Salt Tooth” blogger and food stylist/photographer, Caroline Hargraves says “Beto’s [multiple locations, BetosMexicanFoodUtah.com] bean and cheese burrito. Every time. And the pierogies from The Polarican [food truck, ThePolarican.com] totally did the trick” for her after a recent rosé spree.

Local chef Evan Francois and foodie guru Rob Grine concur that charcoal tablets are the “best cure ever.” Need some liquid medium to choke down this hack? Check out Vive Juicery’s (multiple locations, ViveJuicery.com) “Sensei” blend with activated charcoal, honey, lemon and ginger—all bottled as black as your soul ($5 for a small bottle, or for the truly desperate, go large for $9). Pound it in one go, served very, very cold. Or, mix a charcoal tablet in with a pre-packaged mix like locally made Achiva Energy coconut water-chia blend.

City Weekly’s own food critic, Ted Scheffler: “Big, brimming bowls of menudo!”

Juniper It’s the distinctive herbal note and one of the main characteristics that makes gin distillation distinct from its neutral-flavored cousin, vodka. Made with a fermented mash of barley and other grains, gin started out centuries ago as a medicinal libation particularly appreciated for helping ease childbirth. (Can I get an “amen,” mama friends?) But when Dutch King William of Orange deregulated distilling in early-18th century England, gin became so plentiful, cheap and easily obtainable by even the poorest of the poor that it was targeted as the cause of widespread social breakdown and depravity. British booze historian Richard Barnett describes circa 1750 gin as the historical equivalent of modern-day crack. So, what turned around gin’s PR problem? Quantity and quality control, and a distinctly American invention of the 19th century quickly embraced by the world: the cocktail. Martini, anyone?

Gin joke of the day: Why were olives invented? So gindrinkers wouldn’t starve to death.

CAROLINE HARGRAVES

Hangover Cures

Ice, Ice Baby So, why don’t drinks made at home taste as crisp or clean as the ones we order at great bars? Usually the culprit is home ice machines, which even when filled with filtered water dump the moon-shaped rocks right next to the frozen pizza and burritos, making home ice taste like, goddammit, pizza and burritos.

The ice at HSL (200 S. 418 East, 801-539-9999, HSLRestaurant.com), on the other hand, tastes like mountain-fresh moonbeams and pristine glacier-fed rivulets that bartender Scott Gardner has molded with flashing knives into shapes of wonder and whimsy from a huge-ass clear block of frozen H20. Said Gardner during a visit to HSL (Handle Salt Lake) shortly after its opening in April, “Guests love to see that huge block of ice on the bar. It’s a great way to start a conversation about why using great ice makes such a difference in cocktails.” Like describing why using a large chunk or chiseled sphere dilutes the drink more slowly (because of surface area), which is perfect in an old fashioned, rather than using chipped or cracked ice, which does a traditional julep justice but would water down other cocktails too quickly. Also, ice-masters can work around cloudy spots and other imperfections in a large ice block to make a cocktail even more visually appealing with that terrific transparency thing goin’ on. And it’s magically delicious.

… and other mixology ingredients like super-fresh herbs, exotic fruit and a huge selection of coconut and other prepared tropical juices are sometimes hard to find on the fly in our salty city. Luckily, Southeast Asia Market (422 E. 900 South, 801-363-5474, SoutheastMarket.com) and Rancho Markets (multiple locations, RanchoMarkets.com) have us covered on the regular.

Sam’s Club (multiple locations, SamsClub.com) is the year-round source for fixins like fresh lychee, superbly unbruised Thai basil or maybe the fresh okra pods necessary for pickling that perfect bloody mary garnish. And booze geeks in the know routinely rely on Rancho Market as the go-to for finding the good stuff such as spot-on papaya or mango juices, full-strength Mexican Coke and dried roots for making homemade amari and bitters.

Insider’s tip: At Rancho Markets, look in the produce section tucked away on the back wall with the dried spices for cinchona bark, cascarilla, wormwood and gentian root at a fraction of the cost of even online suppliers. Bonus? You can eye it before you buy it.

BITTERS LAB LIME BITTERS Local Lemon Bitters What takes simple and classic drinks like the vesper or old fashioned from good to great?

Good quality bitters. These alcohol-based botanical blends were formulated back in the day as medicinal additives. Pretty soon, bartenders figured out that they gave a bit of balance and pizzazz to boozy potions, as well. Fortunately for we denizens of Deseret, local companies like Beehive Bitters (Facebook.com/BeehiveBittersCompany) and Bitters Lab (BittersLab.com) have thrown their figurative hats into the artisan bitters boom with national acclaim, making everything from streamlined citrus bitters to complex barrel-aged brews.

Micheladas Mexico’s masterful concoction of cerveza preparada has as many interpretations as there are distinct culinary regions of the nation. Beer is always the base, but from there, the sky’s the limit for mix-ins like lime juice, hot sauce, spices and tomato or Clamato juice. Always served over ice with a saltyspicy rim, it’s the genius south-of-the-border solution to beating the heat. CW’s own editor, Enrique Limón, recommends the michelada at Taquería El Paisa (919 West 2100 South, 801908-5320, TaqueriaElPaisa.com) as one of the best in town. You can order the standard-fare mich in original or jazzy flavors like mango and tamarind for less than 10 bucks, or try the fishbowl-sized “michelada loca,” which comes with a rim of chile paste, 10 grilled butterfly shrimp (I know) and is topped with a celery stalk. “All the basic food groups,” Limón says.

Nick and Nora Glass Tired of seeing those coupe glasses that everyone else uses? Pick up some Nick and Nora stems, based on ones used in the Thin Man films made in the 1930s and ’40s and named after the film’s protagonists, Nick and Nora Charles. Same volume as a martini or coupe glass, but a new elegant take on an iconic 20th-century style. Vintage stalkers can sometimes spot a set on that boulevard mid-century badassery (aka, South Broadway between 200 and 500 East) at Now & Again (207 E. 300 South, 801-364-0664, NowA nd Aga i nSLC.com) or The Green Ant (179 E. 300 South, 801-595-1818, T he Gre en A nt .c om), but you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a set of stems at Boozetique (315 E. 300 South, 801363-3939, BoozetiqueSLC. com). The new ones are on the main shop floor, but vintage glass hounds know to check the back room for antique barware of every stripe and service need.

, SANGRIA POPSICLES

SUGAR HOUSE DISTILLERY CIVIL WAR ERA COCKTAIL Here’s a take adapted from the definitive document on the subject, Punch: The Delights (and Dangers) of the Flowing Bowl, by drink historian David Wondrich. It’s my personal favorite prescription for the historic method, and also the basic formula used by barman extraordinaire Scott Gardner of Water Witch fame to make a High West Prairie Bourbon Punch.

Popsicles Did you know that pretty much any lower-proof punch or cocktail (see above entry) can be frozen into popsicle molds to create a cool treat? As long as the alcohol proofing isn’t so high it inhibits freezing.

Baseline: Get the ABV lower than 25 percent total liquid for best results by adding fruit juice or soda—the options are endless. Our fave? After a big party throw leftover sangría (including fruit) into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 24 hours. Wait, who has leftover sangría?

Oleo Saccharum:

n Prepare oleo saccharum by completely removing zest (just the peels without any white parts) of 6 large juicy lemons. n Then, in a big bowl, combine the lemon peels with 1 cup demerara or raw turbinado sugar. n Stir to combine and smash peels a bit with the back of a wooden spoon to grind in the sugar. n Lightly cover with plastic wrap, and move to a warm spot out of direct sunlight—this bowl’s gonna be living there for a while, so get used to it. n Reserve all those whole peeled lemons in the refrigerator to finish the project. Every time you remember (every 3-4 hours or so), stir and smash the sugar and peels some more. Do this for at least 24 hours and up to two days. You’ll eventually have a nice pool of lemony oily, syrupy goodness in your bowl of curly lemon peels. n To this bowl of goop, add juice from all of the reserved peeled lemons and let sit for an additional 8-12 hours. n Stir well, then strain out solids. n Pour the lemon syrup into a quart jar and add enough cold water to fill the jar. Refrigerate up to 4 weeks. Boom.

Quinine Few cocktails define summertime sipping quite like the gin and tonic, a beverage mixed in the Tropics by British colonists to make the bitter taste of antimalarial quinine hidden in tonic water more palatable—and its drinkers predictably more shitfaced at the same time. Although we’re used to seeing tonic water in a clear, carbonated, conveniently canned concoction, many artisan and housemade tonic waters are slightly almond-tinged due to their extraction from cinchona bark (remember our fave purveyor, Rancho Market, in “K”, above?) But be careful, ye experimental alcohol astronauts at home: Too much quinine can actually cause crazy-ass symptoms like ear-ringing, rashes—and in really severe cases of cinchonism—muscle spasms, vertigo of the extremely vigorous variety and (understatement here) epic intestinal inconsistency. Rather than sticking close to home with an EMT on speed-dial when doing the home-brew thing, why not cozy up to the bar at a pre-approved spot like Finca (327 W. 200 South, 801-487-0699, FincaSLC.com) for an outstanding housemade mixer in their classic G&T? Or, buy lovely tonic potions sourced all over the world at Caputo’s Markets, Boozetique or local markets like Harmon’s Grocery (HarmonsGrocery.com). The Trader Joe’s version ain’t too bad, either.

Oleo saccharum, aka “oil sugar,” is the bartender’s secret to building concentrated citrus flavors. The key to a very old schoolstyle punch base or the homemade sour mix of your dreams is making this secret ingredient—basically a process for releasing all of the goodness and zing of the citrus oils from the zest, which then gets made into a syrup to balance the fruit/acid/sugar.

This is a technique of pre-Civil War era origins, popular with booze slingers from the early American Republic through the early cocktail era. It’s a pain in the ass, for sure, to peel all those lemons, but get to work: It’s totally worth it after you’ve completed the citrus oil base a couple of days later. This recipe makes one quart of sweet-sour lemon mix, which can then be used to make whiskey sours, amaretto sours, you name it. Or, combine a quart of oleo saccharum mix with three bottles bourbon and three bottles sparkling wine and some spices of your choice (think nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves) to make enough generous drinks for 40-60 people. Or around a dozen CW staffers.

Rum It’s hard to believe that only a couple of years ago the total number of Utah distillers could be counted on one hand. But what microbrewing did to step up the beer-lovers market across the country, craft distillers have similarly pulled off to push the boundaries of small-batch booze. Even, or should we say especially, in Utah. It’s a not-very-closely guarded secret in the beverage world that most of the bottles that end up on liquor store shelves aren’t actually distilled by the folks who bottle and label the products; most spirits made in the U.S. come from a couple of large manufacturing plants in the Midwest and are shipped all over the country to brands who further filter, flavor and adjust the proof of the base booze before bottling under their own labels. And some of the results are pretty damn delicious. However, craft distillers are proud to be the exceptions to that repackaging rule, watching over the entire process of production from sourcing raw materials, to fermenting and distilling their products on-site and directly overseeing the entire bottling process. Bless their OCD hearts.

Small-batch rum, in particular, is currently experiencing a kind of modern renaissance in cocktail culture. Rum must be made with sugarcane or its byproducts (such as molasses), and traditionally comes from sugar-producing regions of the world like the Caribbean.

Four Utah distillers are currently making rum for this thriving market: Dented Brick Distillery (Antelope Island Rum), Distillery 36 (Brigham Rum), Outlaw Distillery (three distinct rums: white, French oak-aged and a spiced rum) and Sugar House Distillery (silver rum and gold rum aged in barrels that previously held their malt whiskey). Of these, Distillery 36’s Brigham Rum recently won a silver medal at the Denver International Spirits Competition and Sugar House Distillery won a bronze medal for their silver rum from the American Distilling Institute this year.

Umbrella Drinks There’s something about that ubiquitous paper parasol that brings on nostalgia for beachy beverages like a piña colada or mai tai every damn time, even when Utah hasn’t seen oceanfront property since roughly the late Cretaceous era. And forget about that whack-a-doodle Zion Curtain blocking patrons’ views of insidious mixology as the instigator for cocktail curiosity among the short set: We all know it’s plastic swords, tailcurled technicolor-hued monkeys and, yes, tiny umbrellas that have fascinated kiddos ordering Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers’ from time immemorial. Or, at least from the 1940s. Theories abound on where and when, exactly, the paper umbrella came to top especially syrupy and sweet concoctions. But historians agree that decorative paper objects of all shapes and sizes have been made and distributed from China for centuries, and full-size paper umbrellas were popularly found around the sunny South Pacific before and during WWII, coinciding with America’s mid-century mania for all things tiki. That legend that the little umbrella keeps the ice from melting in the sun’s rays? Drinks historian Dale DeGroff doesn’t buy it: “The big paper umbrellas were sunscreens, but the little ones were decorative.”

voted for continued access to booze. And then we get to think on this shit-show, y’all: By 1916 Utah’s Republican party toed the national prohibitionist line, but during the convention planking of the platform, relative moderate Governor William Spry was defeated for renomination by Nephi L. Morris, a prohibitionist teetotaler. Democrats made a good showing, too, including Governor Simon Bamberger, a non-Mormon, German-born Jew who stopped booze sales at his Lagoon Resort, with a bonus of offering to pay $1,000 for anyone who could draw a portrait of someone who was a bigger opponent to alcohol than him. Like most states in the U.S., Utah’s experiment with alcohol prohibition was a semi-sneery bust, at best. According to the Utah State Historical Society, this is the minimum boozy contraband seized by the state between 1923 and 1932: 448 distilleries; 702 stills; 47,000 gallons of spirits, malt liquor, wine and cider, and 332,000 gallons of mash.

According to local lore, that was only the tip of iceberg.

One of the easiest types of bootleg alcohol to produce was known as sugar whiskey. Per Utah historian Allan Kent Powell, “It required a 100-pound bag of sugar, a sack of cornmeal and a sack of yeast, which were mixed together and boiled in 50-gallon drums.”

Post-Prohibition, each state in the country negotiated their own liquor distribution and policies, making a national mish-mash of access to alcohol or lack thereof. Booze didn’t start flowing to Utah stores until 1935, and Beehive imbibers have been at odds with the DABC ever since.

UNDER CURRENT VERMOUTH CLASS RED HOOK CAROLINE HARGRAVES

Utahns love their ice cream, with some of the highest consumption rates of the frozen concoction in the country. Better yet, grown-ups can blend it up with liquor, like the folks at Hub & Spoke Diner (1291 S. 1100 East, 801-4870698, HubAndSpokeDiner. com) do with five different boozy shakes on the menu all whirled up with rich, thick ice cream. Try a dirty chai with rum, espresso and chai blend ($9), a ramped-up grasshopper with fresh mint, crème de menthe and chocolate liquor ($8.50) or a bourbon-forward salted caramel shake ($8.50). Just in time for National Ice Cream Day (yup, that’s a thing) every July 21.

Shakes (those of the boozy variety)

In February of 1933, Utah was the 36th state and deciding vote to repeal national Prohibition with the enactment of the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In the previous century, the majority of Utahns—being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—had been advised against alcohol consumption with Joseph Smith’s 1833 revelation known as “The Word of Wisdom,” which kyboshed partaking in liquor and wine. We’ll leave it to scholars to decide whether Smith’s polemic was prophetic or perhaps practical within the purview of the contemporaneous and popular United States Temperance Union manifesto (with one million-plus members strong and growing) and other groups gathering some serious part-ay-stomping force at the moment.

It’s hard to imagine now, but in 1909, national anti-booze advocates were arguing that Utah was a decidedly crucial and critically “head-in-the-sand” pro-alcohol state still holding out against Prohibition, being one of less than a dozen remaining “saloon” states that didn’t control booze statewide or through state oversight. In 1911, Utah Republicans still opposed a statewide law prohibiting alcohol, but they did go along with legislation that provided for a local option (which most Beehive bureaus approved) with the notable exception of Ogden and SLC whose residents

Vermouth Think fast: Where’s your vermouth stored? If you didn’t say “in the fridge,” you’re asking for trouble of the off-flavored variety, advises local spirits guru, Jim Santangelo, founder and educator of the Wine Academy of Utah. Whether it’s the sweet (red) variety or dry (white) kind, vermouth is a wine-based spirit with a low-enough alcohol content that it can and will go bad if not used quickly or refrigerated. Save your Manhattans and martinis from going to Funkytown (in a bad way) by buying quality vermouth in the smallest quantity bottle you can find and keep it cool. Get some superb street-cred by attending classes all about various vermouth at local spots like Caputo’s Market, Finca, Pallet (237 S. 400 West, 801-935-4431, EatPallet.com), Under Current and through the University of Utah’s roster of tastings and tours (1901 E.

Whiskey evangelist Tim Peterson is a firm believer that great booze is best shared with friends, rather than collecting dust on an investor’s shelf, because hell-to-the-fuckin’-yeah: You Only Live Once, and you sure as hell can’t take that great whiskey with you. There’s an ever-increasing world of whiskey-Bogarting booze-bankers who are lining their shelves with unopened bottles of rare hootch like Pappy Van Winkle, and for people who enjoy actually drinking whiskey rather than looking at a dusty bottle, this is a sad, sad thing. However, if you’re lucky enough to be invited to Tim’s tasting room—dug into the old coal cellar of his Sugar Hood cottage—you’re in for a treat. Guests have access to well over 200 bottles of fire water sourced from all over the world, from elegant Japanese whiskys to rare Kentucky bourbons, superlative Spanish single-malt, whisky from every region of Scotland and unusual American blends like High West’s Yippie Ki-Yay. And Tim, who doesn’t believe in saving booze on the shelf, has a story about each and every bottle, many of them coming from distilleries he’s visited personally. A wealth of information and a natural educator, Tim’s personal collections equals (and he’d humbly say often exceeds) most public whiskey emporiums in both quantity and quality. He’s been a Whisky Magazine blind-test judge and has a big social media following of folks no-doubt hoping they’ll be the next lucky duck invited over to his invitation-only speakeasy. Check out @speakeasyonwentworth on Instagram and Facebook to get a glimpse into Tim’s world and take part in future tastings.

From the oil sugar recipe to the retelling of the nimble cocktail umbrella’s history, it’s clear we’re going for a summer vibe here. The mid-century epitome of all that’s over-the-top about tiki tipples, the zombie was a classic made popular by the original Trader Vic’s California-based chain of Polynesian-inspired restaurants. But the original cocktail is widely credited to that seminal saloonkeeper of tiki bar backstory, Donn Beach (his given name? Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt) of “Don the Beachcomber” bars found from Hollywood to Hawaii. According to booze historian Wayne Curtis, Donn Beach blended up the primordial version of this powerful potion using five kinds of rum totaling at least 8 ounces (with some accounts upping the content to 12 whopping ounces!), all mixed with fresh pineapple and lime juice to jump start the day of a badly hungover customer by serving not just the hair of the dog, but apparently the whole damn hide.

Beach later claimed the customer said he felt like “the living dead” until revived by the drink, and thus, the name “zombie” stuck.

An increasingly wide array of recipes with a similar fruit-rum profile included ingredients of every stripe short of the kitchen sink: apricot brandy, curacaos of various colors, grenadine, sugar, maraschino liqueur, various bitters, absinthe and pretty much every tropical fruit that has ever made its way to the juicer, all topped off with a floater of 151-proof rum and served in a decorative bowl (for a crowd of straws) or skull-head mug for single servings. This West Coast sensation then swept the nation after the Hurricane Bar at Flushing Meadows served zombies during the 1964 New York World’s Fair ($1 each; limit one per customer). It was the fair’s best seller. Tiki cocktail revivalists make modern versions of the zombie with top-shelf aged rums and supah-fresh squeezed juices served in vintage glassware, but Utah state laws still keep the ABV content relatively low compared to the original recipes. This may not be such a bad thing: In July 1936, Howard Hughes killed a pedestrian while driving home drunk after a night imbibing at Don the Beachcomber. Our advice: Make a zombie at home or leave the driving to the professionals.

Ice Age: Collision Course continues a franchise only because it can.

BY SCOTT RENSHAW scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

A

The many mammals of Ice Age: Collision Course the 15 seconds when everyone thinks one of the other characters has died, and maybe there should also be an anachronistic joke where one of the characters says “hashtag” and you just die a little bit inside. And then a musical number at the end. God forbid there’s not a musical number at the end.

And yes, there is Scrat, our rodent Coyote pursuing his Road Runner of an acorn into circumstances of constant torment.

His segments are still the best thing about these movies, allowing for a zany visual creativity that the rest of the movie doesn’t bother with, as when Scrat struggles futilely against the effects of increased gravitational pull. But those scenes also remind you that there is literally no artistic reason for these movies to keep existing if they’re just a delivery system for a character that belongs in a seven-minute short. When it comes to a certain breed of soulless turnkey brand-extenders, an extinction-level event starts to seem pretty attractive. CW

(Denis Leary) wouldn’t have much of a shot at averting the catastrophe, by golly, they’re going to try.

They’ve got a lot of help, as it happens, because this fifth Ice Age installment also takes a page from Fast Five by bringing back characters from all of the previous installments. There’s Manny’s wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) and possum brothers Crash (Seann William Scott) and Eddie (Josh Peck) from The Meltdown! Buck (Simon Pegg) the one-eyed weasel from Dawn of the Dinosaurs! Diego’s mate Shira (Jennifer Lopez) and Sid’s granny (Wanda Sykes) from Continental Drift! And new ones are in the mix as well, including the fiancé (Adam Devine) of Manny and Ellie’s daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer), a romantic interest (Jessie J) for Sid, and a yoga-guru llama. Like the X-Men movies, it’s a series that has built up an absurdly unwieldy cast of characters, and shows no willingness to curb the bloat.

That’s because, on the most fundamental level, franchise placeholders like this don’t even have to tell a story. Oh sure, there will be a token emotional conflict or two—the main one here being Manny’s Father of the Bride-esque reluctance to let go of his little girl—but the primary goal is to just have stuff keep happening for the 90 or so minutes required to complete a feature film running time. The stuff can be frantic and goofy, or occasionally it can seem sad for

curious realization came over me as I waited to watch Ice Age: Collision Course: I had no idea how many of these movies there had been. On the one hand, I was pretty sure that this was the fourth, though in fact it’s the fifth; on the other hand, I wouldn’t have been surprised if you had told me it was the 37th. Every three-to-four years, another one pops up, despite the fact that, beyond the first one’s Three Godfathers premise and the random misadventures of the acorn-obsessed Scrat, I could remember absolutely nothing about any of them.

But in a sense, that makes Ice Age the ideal franchise property for the 21st century: You want something familiar enough that it’s easy to market, but you’d also prefer not to irritate those who cling to the memory of beloved previous chapters. This is a series built on one amusing peripheral character and a vague sense of goodwill, continuing because there’s no reason not to.

Perhaps that’s why, even though there have been far worse films in 2016, this one ate at my gut. Collision Course isn’t a case of wringing the last drop out of a oncegreat concept. It’s just a date on the release schedule. It’s a safe bet.

It also feels like it was run through the contemporary screenwriting program for building a blockbuster. Because while this may just be an animated family film, the stakes are nothing less than—say it with me now—The End of the World. A huge meteor is on its way toward earth, thanks to the hapless Scrat somehow finding a buried spaceship and … never mind. Armageddon looms, and while you’d think that a bunch of prehistoric animals like Manny the mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo) and Diego the sabertooth tiger

Sweetie! Anyone who knows Eddie like we do knows she would never intentionally destroy her goddess. And know Eddie well we do, we lovers of the 1990s BBC sitcom that crashed our collective party with outrageous misadventures of Eddie (Jennifer Saunders, series creator and screenwriter here) and her BFF, fashion editor Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley). Un-mellowed by time, the besties now take their pursuit of an endless Champagnefueled good time to the south of France; what better place to go on the lam when accused of murder? No knowledge of the TV show is required: Stand-alone send-ups of the emptiness of oneupwomanship and reflexive hedonism zing, and numerous celebrity cameos hit just-right notes of clued-in ridiculousness. Best of all, it’s a sheer triumph to see two older women—Saunders is 58, Lumley 70—being hilarious onscreen, in all sorts of ways, from sly, often underplayed character satire to literal falling-down slapstick. Fabulous. Opens July 22 at Broadway Centre Cinemas.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC BBB It says something about the charm of Captain Fantastic that I was able to enjoy it despite either rolling my eyes or frowning in disapproval at most of the main character’s parenting choices. He’s Ben (Viggo Mortensen), an off-the-grid survivalist who lives in the woods with his wife and six children, ages 5-ish to 18-ish, who have made-up names like Kielyr and Vespyr. You’d assume they’re Mormons from Idaho, but no: They’re anti-religion, antimedicine, anti-capitalism types of rugged home-schoolers, not the religious kind. Anyway, when Mom dies, Ben must confront her parents (Frank Langella and Ann Dowd), who resent him for taking their daughter and grandchildren into the boonies, while also grappling with his children’s emerging independence.

Without judgment, writer-director Matt Ross shows the good and bad of Ben’s parenting style—there are areas where the kids are objectively healthier and smarter than, say, their brain-dead suburbanite cousins—while sympathetically depicting Ben’s regrets, fears and learning process. Mortensen gives a fully realized performance as a man with whom you may disagree, but whose heart is in the right place. Opens July 22 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—Eric D. Snider

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE B.5 See review on p. 45. Opens July 22 at theaters valleywide. (PG) LIGHTS OUT BB Director David F. Sandberg expands a 2 ½-minute short to feature length, telling the story of a Los Angeles family—mentally ill widowed mother Sophie (Maria Bello) and her two children, Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) and Martin (Gabriel Bateman)—tormented by a malevolent entity that can only take physical form in the dark. Sandberg does his best to maximize his creepy premise, including finding as many creative ways as possible for the protagonists to generate light when threatened. But he’s ultimately undone by the need to create a detailed back-story for his shadowy ghost and the troubled humans, and the mythology doesn’t have much internally consistent logic. The attempt to include actual character arcs may be admirable—and the casting of Bello and Palmer as mother and daughter is perfect—but they just don’t entirely work, nor are the scares scary enough when the “rules” of the monster keep shifting and the heroes don’t seem smart enough to make optimum use of their one known advantage.

GHOSTBUSTERS BBB What if—bear with me—the thing that mattered was whether this movie was, you know, funny? Co-writer/director Paul Feig gathers Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon as the paranormal investigators, on their own unique (but kinda familiar) mission to save New York from apocalyptic post-mortem threats.

When they’re on their game, this group delivers huge laughs, with McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth (as their dim eye-candy receptionist) nailing the best oddball moments. But, like the 1984 original, the third act largely becomes action spectacle, which feels considerably more tired and familiar when literally every modern blockbuster threatens The End of the World. Every time Feig stops to mimic or pay homage to the original, he misses an opportunity to take these distinctive talents and make something that’s more concerned with right now than with 30 years ago.

THE INFILTRATOR BBB Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston is winning America’s hearts and minds one drug at a time—now as a U.S. Customs agent going after a Colombian cocaine cartel in this sturdy crime drama based on Robert Mazur’s memoir. Cranston plays Mazur, a veteran undercover agent who poses as a Mafia-connected accountant to launder money for—and thus learn the inner workings of—Pablo Escobar’s coke empire. Focused and careful, Mazur encounters colorful, unpredictable people on both sides of the law, and it’s satisfying (and suspenseful) to see him improvise like Walter White to maintain his cover. The story requires a lot of characters, with a large supporting cast, and it almost can’t help getting bogged down in the details. But director Brad Furman is smart to focus on Cranston as Mazur, whose skill and decency keep us invested. (R)—EDS

TICKLED BBBB New Zealand journalist David Farrier was merely seeking a subject for a light-hearted feature when he investigated online videos for “Competitive Endurance Tickling.” Instead, he found the subject for a documentary that gets weirder, funnier and more layered as it goes. Farrier (co-directing with Dylan Reeve) begins trying to understand why his inquiries are met with insults, harassment and legal threats, uncovering a story that could go back 20 years.

While on some level this is an inspiring story about a reporter’s hard, potentially dangerous work exposing a criminal, it also digs into hidden fetish sub-cultures, and how it might twist people that those sub-cultures need to remain hidden—all while remaining thoroughly entertaining. Even as Farrier moves toward exposing this story’s mysterious, elusive “villain,” Tickled also forces viewers to confront the sad, human face of toxic shame. (NR)—SR

TV

Yea Neigh Nay

BoJack Horseman returns, tragicomic as ever; Looking says buh-bye.

BoJack Horseman Friday, July 22 (Netflix)

Season Premiere: Prior to the premiere of Season 3, Netflix released promo art that placed cartoon character BoJack Horseman (voiced by Will Arnett) in the same league as troubled dramatic TV anti-heroes Tony Soprano, Don Draper and Frank Underwood. It’s no joke. They all struggled to find happiness within the American Dream (though it could be argued that House of Cards’ Frank Underwood is simply nuts—and still a better presidential choice than anyone running in reality), and so continues BoJack. He should be happy: He’s back in the public eye, doing press and Oscar(!) campaigning for his dream starring role in Secretariat … but it’s all meaningless, hollow crap. More so than depression and ennui—yes, a cartoon has forced me to break out the fancy words—BoJack Horseman is about the aggressive shallowness of Hollywood and celebrity, and Round 3 goes even deeper and darker than before. This might be a good time to mention that this show is also funny as hell. Really, it’s everything as hell. BoJack Horseman should win all of the awards, not just the handful of niche critical trophies it has already … but awards don’t bring joy or a sense of achievement … so … I don’t know what to think. Thanks, BoJack.

Looking: The Movie Saturday, July 23 (HBO)

Movie: Canceled over a year ago by HBO, Looking was never a flashy “Gay!” series, but a low-key and honest, if occasionally over-talky, depiction of everyday (but, admittedly, ridiculously good-looking) gay men in San Francisco— which could be why it only lasted 18 episodes. Unlike the then-groundbreaking Queer as Folk over a decade ago, the characters of Looking have nothing to prove or reveal; they’re already out and established, just trying to get through this thing called life. Looking: The Movie is a 90-minute series wrap-up, and easily one of the more satisfying TV finales in recent memory (at least better than the unexpected ends of HBO’s Vinyl, Togetherness, The Brink, Enlightened, Bored to Death, et al).

Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour Sunday, July 24 (History)

Series Debut: Ozzy Osbourne and son Jack are back on reality TV—but this time, it’s educational-ish. The 10-episode Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour is a travelogue history lesson (on the History channel? GTFO) hitting such destinations as Mt. Rushmore, Stonehenge, Roswell, the Jamestown Settlement, Sun Studios and even the Alamo, which Ozzy famously pissed on in the ’80s when he was chemically insane (as opposed to whatever strain of insane he is currently). World Detour has its share of funny, obviously scripted “reality” moments, but Ozzy’s indecipherable mutterings and Jack’s … what does he bring to the table again? … feel 10-years played-out.

MadTV Tuesday, July 26 (The CW)

Series Re-Debut: The CW’s recent 20th anniversary special for MadTV proved that there’s little from the 1995-2009 Fox sketch-comedy series that holds up today—so this must be the perfect time to revive it as summer filler. The “new” MadTV features an unknown cast of varyingly talented newbies who could have come up with something better if not stuck with an ancient brand-name that means nada in 2016 and forced guest-appearances by original Mad cast members dredging up best-forgotten characters from the past (seriously, no one needs to endure “Mrs. Swan” and

BoJack Horseman (Netflix) “Stuart” ever, ever again). Even if Maya & Marty hadn’t just destroyed any possibility of sketch comedy working in modern prime time, MadTV would still be a tough (re)sell.

Wayward Pines Wednesday, July 27 (Fox)

Season Finale: Well, that was a complete waste of time. It’s getting harder to remember how good Season 1—you know, the originally planned only season—of Wayward Pines was; I’d say the limp, unnecessary follow-up is the Speed 2: Cruise Control of sophomore TV seasons, but poor Jason Patric (who replaced Keanu Reeves in that movie, and Matt Dillon on Wayward Pines) has been through enough, and I can’t completely dismiss 1997 Sandra Bullock in a bikini. Anyway: I’m rooting sooo hard for the mutants outside the walls of Wayward Pines (the unfortunately named “Abbies”) to kill off all of the remaining humans on earth and any chance of a third season. The only remaining question is: Is Speed 2 on Blu-ray?

an unusual relationship with the blues idiom. “The blues is fine.

We are still friends,” he says. “We talked yesterday. She told me that yesterday somebody somewhere was playing ‘Sweet Home Chicago.’ There is no ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ at a Bob Log show. My music is a different kind of party.”

The last thing you might suspect about Bob Log III is that at least some of his music is meta-commentary about music. In addition to songs about typical rock/blues subjects like “Shake the Boot” and the carnal desires of songs like “Boob Scotch,” Log notes, “I also make songs about the song I am playing at the moment. [Guitar Party Power’s epically titled] ‘Do That Thing You Think You Did That Thing To’ is actually a song about me trying to remember the drum beat to that song.” Even the Roman numeral in his stage name is a comment on music, recalling the album where Led Zeppelin hit their stride.

In its self-referentiality, Log’s music is like a snake chasing its own tail, though joyfully. In blues music, a common subtext is authenticity, but Bob Log III isn’t parodying it or dismembering it, as carefree and punk-rock as his approach might seem. He’s showing that authenticity is just another part of rock’s theatrics. Between his own theatricality and the sheer speed of his goofy, rhythmic blues riffs, everyone present at a Bob Log III show seems so much in the moment that it feels like he’s somehow altered space and time.

It works so well that, in two decades, Log hasn’t seen the need to mess with the formula—a temptation common among acts of a similar age. “I have learned many new guitar tricks, and can play things I certainly could not have played 20 years ago, but these tools are still used for the same exact purpose as when I started— [to] make the room go apeshit.” CW

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

ob Log III—you know, that guy who plays the slide blues guitar wearing a blue jumpsuit, topped by a motorcycle helmet with an old-school telephone receiver attached, and accompanies himself with a kick drum as his hands fly so fast that the slide on his ring finger becomes a silvery blur?

The irrepressible one-man band is a party on wheels.

Log discussed his musical history over email from Melbourne, Australia, which these days doubles with Tucson, Ariz., where he grew up (he was born in Chicago), as his home base. “When I was 11, I picked up my mom’s guitar and it made a noise that has never ceased to make me smile,” Log writes.

“I take that 11-year-old’s smile and turn it into sound.” That aural grin is inspired by Log’s early listening, which included Chuck Berry, the Coasters and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. “These guys took the blues, and then turned the party up all in it,” he says.

Log talks about this music like it was a youthful crush. “It wasn’t like something I would take out to lunch every other Thursday,” he says. “This was more like I immediately began feeding it and [we began] doing everything together, sometimes even swapping clothes, until we were laughing at all the same things on a sunny day at the beach and we had a baby.”

After initially playing with blues combo Mondo Guano in Tucson, he joined percussionist Thermos Malling in the dirty-blues duo Doo Rag. After a falling-out with Malling during a tour opening for the alt-jam band Ween, Log set out on a solo career, releasing a number of albums on hip Mississippi blues imprint Fat Possum and other labels. He recently self-released two albums: Guitar Party Power and Bump or Meow Volume 1, via BobLogIII.com.

Log plays rock ’n’ roll stripped down to its basic elements, but also takes the music to extremes of performance and participation. One particularly notorious part of his shows is the song “Boob Scotch,” where he urges audience members to stir his, and their, drinks with a breast (male or female; he ain’t fussy). He’s also known to frequently bounce listeners on his knee while he plays, and for bringing out an inflatable raft—his own innovation on crowd-surfing.

He describes one of his typical shows in a characteristic manner too fun to edit: “People hear a noise, the noise makes them start to move, some of them don’t want to move—but they can’t help it.

The more they move, the more they sweat. It gets to a point where even the one girl who really didn’t want to have a good time has now leapt on stage and is stomping on multicolored balloons just to hear the sound of them popping, while a man in a helmet plays amazing party guitar in time to her stompings. When the people wake up the next day, their faces hurt from smiling, and there are bits of balloons stuck to their shoes.”

Genre purists might ask, after hearing Log’s signature take on the music, what he has done to the blues. Ever the troll, Log answers the rhetorical question: “I just turned it into a party. They used to call that rock ’n’ roll. I didn’t invent it.” Obviously, he has

Outta the Doghouse

Kyle Henderson emerges from a dark, hollow place on Hound Mystic’s debut EP.

BY ZAC SMITH comments@cityweekly.net

“I

moved the band to Nashville, and things weren’t really going the way I wanted them to,” says Kyle Henderson. In 2015, the Orem-based Desert Noises—Henderson’s former band—had reached a local and national peak, spending the previous five years touring incessantly, playing music festivals like Loufest, Oaktopia and Austin City Limits, and cultivating an evergrowing fan base. With two albums (2011’s Mountain Sea and 2014’s 27 Ways) and two EPs (Desert Noises and I Won’t See You, in 2009 and 2012, respectively), Desert Noises was primed to blow up in a big way. But even the best-laid plans …

When the end of the band seemed imminent, Henderson met an unforgettable someone. “I fell in love with this girl,” he says. “I was on tour and she was a bartender at this bar. I chased her down an alleyway, took her phone, stole her number and talked to her for five minutes.” This brief and memorable encounter, a taste of euphoria, was enough: “She moved out of the house where she was living with her boyfriend at the time, and we spent every following moment together.”

The relationship eventually ended. With Desert Noises and a whirlwind romance behind him, Henderson had a heavy heart.

In order to bear and process this raw, honest emotion, he sought stability and returned to Utah: “I wanted to quit music. I felt like I wasn’t being myself; my art wasn’t coming across like I wanted it to.” He cloistered himself, succumbed to a vice or two and began writing, a lot—self-medicating for a deeply rooted heartsickness.

Henderson, with guitar in hand, became Bloodhound, a lone troubadour crooning his inescapable past.

He soon learned that there were many so-called bloodhounds in the music world. “Venues started saying that other bloodhounds were hitting them up for shows,” he says. So Bloodhound morphed into Hound Mystic: “I still wanted to use the image of a hound, because I think that dogs are so smart but also so dumb,” a quality

Kyle Henderson that he finds endearing.

With a new name came an expanded lineup—Henderson (guitar, vocals), Ren Kennedy (guitar), Joey Peterson (drums) and Josh Brown (bass). A fresh batch of emotionally revealing songs in tow, Hound Mystic went up to Portland to record their debut EP at Red Rockets Glare studio. The band, along with producer John Askew (the producer behind many of The Dodos’ records), cranked out four songs in 12 hours. “There is a kind of magic that happens when you are with the right people,” Henderson muses.

In describing the yet-to-be-named, four-song EP, he says, “It is kinda like a Fleetwood Mac thing: dark but dance-y. It is honest— nothing fake.” The songs, though nodding toward his past, aim to reflect the motto, “everything always,” which means “don’t be afraid of whatever is going on, and don’t be afraid of your mistakes or don’t look at them as mistakes. The past is what shaped you for now; even if it was bad, it was an experience. You can’t really judge yourself by your past.”

From the dark and hollow place the musician once occupied, it is plain to see that he has grown with each note, each word and each day. Never letting his past define his future, he has instead used it as personal and artistic motivation, becoming the full embodiment of his positive adage—everything always.

Henderson is looking forward to the EP release show. “We have nothing out, so it is a way to get ourselves [and music] out there,” he says. This show is a celebration, both of the hard work Hound Mystic put into their EP, but also of the human condition and our ability to change and grow. A dog’s life is indeed charmed. CW

When Aussie Nick Murphy covered Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” in 2011, the video spread like an outbreak, leading to three EPs (one, Lockjaw, with friend/collaborator Flume) and his debut full-length, Built on Glass (Future Classic/Opulent, 2014). That third EP, Work (Detail/Downtown, 2015) is another collaboration—this time, with U.K. DJ Marcus Marr—and it sprouted from a random back-and-forth on Twitter. The four-track, 25-minute release showcases the clever lyrics and late-night, somnambulist observations and introspection (layered over, and dovetailing with, Marr’s variously ethereal and funky production) that quickly endeared Faker to a growing base of fans.

Canadian electronic musician Kaytranada and local DJ Brisk open the show. With Brisk’s decades-spanning funk/reggae/hip-hop/ house blend, Kaytranada’s blend of dance music and hip-hop/R&B, and Faker’s soulinfused trip-hop, this is a fitting kickoff of the 2016 iteration of the Twilight Concert Series.

PINKY’S THIS WEEK’S

COMPLETE LISTINGS ONLINE CITYWEEKLY.NET

In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s—when the internet had yet to enlighten the world to freakishly heavy bosoms—Parton’s ample endowments were ubiquitous, a common topic for everyone from wannabe workplace comedians to late-night talk-show hosts. It was as though there wasn’t much else to her; the music was ancillary. This was during the time when popular music wasn’t a genre of pre-fab nothings, but an actual measure of what really resonated with listeners, when payola perhaps wasn’t so prevalent and radio stations offered a variety of music. Inside of an hour, you could hear soft/yacht rock, R&B, novelty songs (“Pac-Man Fever,” Weird Al), hard rock and even country—stuff like Ronnie Milsap, Terri Gibbs, Sylvia and Ms. Dolly, who always seemed to have a single out there, like the Kenny Rogers duets (“Islands in the Stream,” “We’ve Got Tonight”), the impossibly cheerful “Here You Come Again” and the bouncy, titular hit single from the film 9 to 5. Add that to her country hits—tracks like “Coat of Many Colors,” “Smoky Mountain Mammaries—er, Memories” and “Jolene,” and you’ll see she’s had quite an impact on popular culture. And it’s not just because of her physical and musical attributes: She played lead roles in 9 to 5 and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and started her own theme park. Even better, she’s possessed of an infectious cheer and irresistible sweetness tempered with a no-bullshit attitude, fueling altruistic, rebellious stances. Case in point: In 2005, she exemplified a truly Christ-like Christian by standing up for what’s right by writing “Travelin’ Thru” for the film Transamerica and contributing “Sugar Hill” to the Human Rights Campaign’s LGBTQ rights awareness compilation, Love Rocks. Today, at 70, she remains, like the title of her current album and tour, Pure & Simple, retaining the qualities that made her America’s busty sweetheart, a real national treasure.

The Joy Formidable

When Welsh trio The Joy Formidable released their major-label debut The Big Roar (Canvasback/Atlantic, 2011), it was met with mostly slobbery reviews. But since rock critics can be reactionary contrarians and bandwagon jumpers, some threw shade. That’s the music criticism ecosystem for ya, maintaining stasis lest some upstart rock band get too big too fast and prematurely burn out/fade away—or worse, become a hideous monster drunk on unwarranted praise.

There’s something to the compliments and the criticism: The band tried to marry expansive, wall-of-sound production to shoegaze, and getting mixed results from trying to give two opposing aesthetics equal time on Roar

WEDNESDAY 7.27 The Claypool Lennon Delirium The Joy Formidable as well as Wolf’s Law (2013), which received similar good and bad marks. With their third album, the movie-length (83 minutes!) Hitch (2016), they dial things down a tad, and get raw—which, they say, describes their emotional state, since singer-guitarist Ritzy Bryan and bassist Rhydian Dafydd wrote the album in the midst of breaking up. The bright side of achieving balance and focus on the ironically titled album is likely cold comfort for the band—but a formidable joy for music critics and fans alike. With The New Regime.

Primus mastermind Les Claypool has so much creative juice that he founds, records and tours with a new solo or side project every few years—most of ‘em staffed by noteworthy and equally virtuosic musicians. Among them are Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains (with far-out guitarist Buckethead, late P-Funk keyboardist/producer Bernie Worrell and Primus drummer Brain) and Oysterhead (with Phish’s Trey Anastasio and Police drummer Stewart Copeland). As with Primus, each project is tied together

by Claypool’s signature oddball lyrics, sinusinfection vocals and slap-pop-tickle-chokepound-throttle-whomp bass acrobatics.

Naturally, they’re all immensely enjoyable and interesting listening … but also sublimely strange. This latest such outlet pairs Claypool with Sean Lennon, the spawn of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Consider what unholy sounds might come from pairing

LIVE

Claypool and the upshot of a—some would say diabolical—genetic brew of a Beatle and the world’s foremost vocal stylist/performance artist/destroyer of greatness. Yeah.

It’s pretty crazy, with Beatles melodies, sounds fit for German Expressionist horror flicks, and some Zappa-esque freakouts dropped in among the expected Claypooldelia. Lennon told Rolling Stone that he and Claypool bonded because they both “tend to like the notes that other people hate,” and that inspirations for Monolith on Phobos (ATO) range from the Monkees’ cinematic acid-trip Head, Buzz Aldrin’s tales of a monolith on one of Mars’ moons and hunting for mushrooms together (not the fun kind). Even wilder is that, although the music is inspired by and ostensibly made for substance fun, both men say it’s fueled more by wine than anything, and even includes a cautionary ditty called “Oxycontin Girl.” Claypool’s just full of surprises.

#FIXTHEFOX: Corey Fox Benefit Show w/ The Lovestrange

Provo promoter Corey Fox and his venue Velour passionately support local musicians, and Friday’s show is about reciprocity—raising funds to help Fox get a kidney transplant. Power pop/new wave/dork rock quartet The Lovestrange exists today in large part because Fox encouraged Strange to return to music after a 25-year break. “There have been much larger benefit shows for #FIXTHEFOX by much bigger bands,” says Strange, referring to the $300-a-ticket benefit show last April by Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons, plus other (more affordable) events involving Fictionist, The Moth & The Flame and a Madison Arm-led allstar benefit/mixtape. In spite of this, Strange says “the need is still great … and we wanted to do something, too.” Barsie and Sonsapapa open. (Randy Harward) Velour, 135 N.

Spindrift, L.A. Witch

Since 1992, the L.A.-via-Delaware band Spindrift has made a genre out of instrumental cult film soundtracks, mainly working in the “spaghetti western” genre. They’re so good at it that they inspired a film based on their album The Legend of God’s Gun, and are hired to score films (Dust Up, Diablo) and land songs in TV shows (Eastbound & Down). Joining them tonight is L.A. Witch, an all-female trio that self-identifies as “reverb-soaked, punked-out rock.” That lets you know the group rocks, is punk in spirit and sounds like they record in a garage so big, it echoes. They also strongly resemble ‘80s cowpunks like The Gun Club and X—with Sade Sanchez sounding like the latter group’s Exene Cervenka using Hope Sandoval as a puppet.

“Being able to work with wood, metal and concrete in-house offers tighter constraints on quality control,” Blaine says.

“Instead of having to find three different people to handle one project, Modern Craftsman has everything under one roof.”

While Blaine founded the company on his own, he has since expanded and now has four employees. Hannah Bleak, a

each client’s needs, company or brand. Modern Craftsman creates features for both residential and commercial projects, interiors and exteriors. Blaine builds from the end result, working backward to ensure the user’s intent is kept in the forefront during the entire process. His business eliminates the need for multiple providers by serving as a one-stop shop for all materials and all aspects of manufacturing—from inception to design, fabrication and installation.

graphic designer and employee, admires the perfectionism Modern Craftsman exhibits when creating pieces. “Things will be hashed until they are golden,” she says. Foreman Spencer Jones loves the variety of pieces and products he works on.

“Concrete one week, and a metal piece the next,” he says. “I like the challenge that it brings.”

Blaine is positive that, no matter what you’re looking for, his team can offer you a product you will love. “We design and build the most excellent custom elements for the most refined clients,” he says. n

When people think of high-end countertops, granite or quartz likely come to mind. But local company Modern Craftsman wants to change that perception. Founder Tyler Thomas Blaine believes concrete is an elegant alternative to stone.

Blaine has even produced his own special blend of concrete, which he has dubbed OrganiCrete. “It’s recycled, reclaimed, and it’s a stronger, denser concrete,” he says.

OrganiCrete uses an ultra-low VOC sealer that is incorporated into the mix rather then applied topically. Where topical sealers tend to peal with regular wear and tear, OrganiCrete’s integrated sealer requires less maintenance and actually looks better over time. It’s specifically made for features like sinks and countertops.

If you’re not so sure whether this look is for you, the company can also create handcrafted, functional works of art out of wood or metal—and they definitely aren’t limited to countertops. Blaine has created bathtubs, fireplaces, staircases, cabinetry, desks and more.

Whatever material you prefer, each product is built to the specifications of

Audio horoscopes also available by phone at 877-873-4888 or 900-950-7700.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You now have more luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semi-miraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard-tounderstand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A directory published by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers and stuntpersons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?

2148 S 900 E #3 | SLC, UT

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) I hope it doesn’t sound too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierce devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, dammit! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’t-give-a-fuck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soul-anesthetizing grind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) I regularly travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are underway there. But it’s in a good cause.

The bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it. Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be five years from today?

Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Here’s one strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the devil might leave you in peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) After a cool, dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase.

The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies.

Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal body?

I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of weird delight—and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory fun it will bring.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I’m composing your horoscope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers. We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not—just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear.

Don’t let anything tamp it down!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Have ever fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes, and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) My friend’s 12-year-old daughter Brianna got a B on her summer school math test. She might have earned an A if it weren’t for a problem her teacher had with some of her work. “You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that I’m giving you an A. All that matters in the end is that you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Capricorns may be the hardest workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will efficiently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand, and do what’s necessary to accomplish them. There’ll be no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trial-and-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you find innovative short cuts that produce better results than would be possible via the grind-it-out approach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Over the course of a 57-year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare.

At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create non-stop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The Golden Goose Award is given annually to “scientists whose work may have been considered silly, odd, or obscure when first conducted,” but which ultimately produced dramatic advances.

Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year’s winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland’s and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.

You’re lying by the pool and watching as sweat slowly fills your belly button. It’s 95 degrees in the shade and the last thing on your mind is Christmas. But not so much for the elves at the City Creek Macy’s store.

They’re busy gathering entries for this holiday season’s storefront window-design competition.

Many folks remember the old ZCMI store across from Temple Square. For those who don’t, here’s some background information: It was founded in 1868 by Brigham Young himself as Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution. The proud bunch of employees hung a sign inside with its slogan, “America’s First Department Store.” Young wanted to compete with non-Mormon merchants and he brought together retailers of the brotherhood under one roof. Tourists getting off trains downtown found they could get clothes and boots, beauty products and hats at one location. Locals were able to buy lumber, nails, furniture and just about anything a settler could want for in this high desert Promised Land. ZCMI was sold in 1999 to May Department Stores (Macy’s, Inc.). The flagship store was torn down, but the iron pillars, rails and décor on the outside were meticulously restored and re-installed as a historic facade on the City Creek shopping center for it’s opening in March 2012.

A highlight of the Salt Lake City holiday season was to see the display windows on Main Street with their elaborate candy decorations before visiting Temple Square to view the lighting displays. When Macy’s opened in City Creek, they brought back the idea of “candy windows.” I was one of the original artists chosen to create a window display for them. I took a 9-foot styrofoam ball they gave me and glued on hundreds of pounds of candy to create a nutcracker and mouse head. The ball rotated in the window along with five others until just after New Year’s Day. Citizens loved that the company brought back the old tradition.

You can apply to make a candy ball for Macy’s this year by submitting your artistic rendering by August 1. Six artists will be chosen to create the oversized holiday ornament made entirely out of candy. You can do it with family or friends, your school or business—it’s a ton of fun. The theme this year is dedicated to Sinclair Oil’s 100th anniversary, so we can probably expect some dinosaurs in Santa hats. If you’re interested, email chad.young@macys.com. Selected artists will decorate their candy balls November 2-17, and shoppers can view the colorful results through January 1 in the old ZCMI windows on Main. n
