After listening to the list of lies that are coming from President Donald Trump’s mouth and his statements about fake news, I’ve come to realize that what he is perhaps saying, is that the fake news points back to his fake statements. So therefore, his lies are fake and the lies from him that the media are printing combine to make fake news.

What do you think of that?

JILL MOWER

Via CW comments The traitor-in-chief needs to be abolished from the United States. It is beyond me that a person of no integrity, morals or values of any kind to write home about, got to be in the highest office in America. Where has people’s common sense gone?

Of course, as someone wrote, “Common Sense is not a flower that grows in everyone’s garden.” Are we surprised when he opens his mouth and a lie spews out? Not. I think of all the men and women that have died in the wars and I feel they died in vain. They died to protect our freedom and in a blink of an eye the traitor-in-chief has sold us down the Moskva River.

Salt Lake City Weekly is/has always lowered their bar, spouting propaganda at every turn! One paper’s opinion on non-informational research!

Russia, Russia, Russia. I hear unemployment is at an all time high [and] the GDP is expected to hit 4 percent. But, let’s all cry Liberal tears [and] make the populous feel sorry for the progressive left. Waaaaahhhh.

DAVID MELLEN Via Facebook

Trump’s tax cuts didn’t have the effect that you think they did.

A recession will hit regardless, though—it didn’t matter who won the presidency. Corporations are over-burdening themselves with debt. They largely used the tax cuts to buy their own stock. The Fed will bump interest rates. Zombie corporations won’t be able to service their debt. And there are a growing number of zombie corporations (i.e. dead). Profits will decline. Layoffs will inevitably happen. New recession.

If you like numbers (GDP), then you should consider some other interesting stats. You know what the The Bank of England economists are looking at? Metal prices. There’s an interesting correlation between metal prices and the health of economies.

Metals index fell sharply during the Great Recession and predicted the subsequent recovery exactly in mid 2009. It predicted the recovery from the relative slump in 2015, too. Actual real GDP figures for most countries don’t become available until up to two quarters later (or even later). So the metals price index is a “high frequency” indicator for growth and so it suggests that the peak in the current acceleration of global (and US) growth ended in June 2018. Ended! And the direction is now downwards in the next quarter which began in July. So don’t get too excited for the Q2 2018 figures.

CHRIS PAUL Via Facebook

Discriminate This

In his piece, “On Religious Discrimination” [Opinion, June 14], author Michael S. Robinson Sr. makes too many dogmatic assertions to treat in one sitting but we can tackle a few. Let’s start with this one: “Why is our government in the liquor business, when that is something legitimately left to private enterprise?”

Obviously, Robinson takes for granted that Prohibition was an illegitimate endeavor, but the fact is, not all drinkers can drink responsibly. It seems Prohibition

caused more problems than it solved and Utah’s approach offered a compromise: state controlled sales of strong liquor.

But analogous to Robinson’s decree, we might say Idaho has no business running a state lottery; leave gambling to private enterprise as in Nevada. But the fact remains, not all can gamble responsibly. Some would even say a lottery is a tax on statistical incompetence. So halfway between outlawed gambling and legal casinos Idaho has a lottery. How is that different from Utah’s state liquor stores? Would it constitute a mingling of (an anti-gambling) church and state if Utah were to follow Idaho’s example?

Robinson combines the problem of separation of church and state in Utah with the liquor profits of the state monopoly to assert that with the “sin tax” non-Mormons are unfairly subsidizing the Mormon lifestyle— especially unfairly since nonMormons suffer the additional burden of paying for the education of large LDS families. Where to begin?

1) One might ask if Prohibition constituted a federal collusion of church and state.

2) One might wish to distinguish between direct ecclesiastical interference (e.g., where a church official hypothetically threatened an LDS legislator with excommunication), and democratic expression of religious sentiment at the voting booth.

3) One might compare the $100 million figure (which Robinson pulls out of the air) with the cost of police protection dedicated to enforcing DUI laws as well as court and jail expenses diverted to keep the roads safe

from drunk drivers. (Not to mention hospital costs of those injured in DUI accidents—who is subsidizing who?)

The argument that even gentile teetotalers subsidize the schooling of large LDS families is an old one, and of course peculiar to Utah, but it has its problems as well: 1) The LDS birth rate is steadily declining, while out of state migration is increasing.

2) Non-LDS citizens constitute a growing fraction of the population. Some segments of this immigrant population have birth rates comparable to the LDS rate.

3) The complaint ignores the philosophy that in reality, each citizen pays for his own education after one becomes a contributing tax payer. It supposes that old bachelors should never have to pay into the fund since they have no children to burden the state—his parents are to blame for his schooling expenses.

4) Robinson’s penultimate conclusion: “It’s time to go back to the basics: 1) End the DABC’s abuse of private enterprise and allow competition. 2) Allow Utah’s non-Mormons to get what they want at non-discriminatory prices. 3) End the practice of forcing non-Mormons’ to pick up the tab for the state religion.”

The “war on drugs” is certainly an attack on capitalism, but it hardly constitutes federal collusion of church and state.

PRIVATE EY Hurts So Good

OK, mom. You can stop reading now. If you wondered who I was before, depending on how deep dive I go, you might not think so highly of your favorite son. But, to be sure, it was the other kids who were worse, so be thankful you are not their mom. I was just a traveler on spaceship Earth, doing dumb stuff along the way and taking mental notes of just about everything.

So it was in 1970 that I caught my first glimpse of marijuana. I didn’t smoke on that day, just watched as a good buddy awkwardly rolled a really crappy joint, then sputtered and choked his way through it. To be sure, I was caught on one of those teen year fulcrums— Do I or don’t I make a move? Take a drink? Take a puff? I didn’t. Instead, I left kind of shaken, knowing that even all the way up in Bingham Canyon, the Oz where I grew up, marijuana had come to roost. I’d watched Reefer Madness—mandatory viewing in health class—and watched San Francisco hippies go all zippy-dippy. I’d heard the sermons, the teachers’ warnings and the mantra that weed is the devil’s daughter.

I’d also heard the songs. I loved the songs of the ’60s.

Thus, it wasn’t long before I wanted to be all zippy-dippy, too. I wanted the coolness that oozed off of musicians like Booker T. I wanted to wear shades. I wanted to know why all those guys coming back from Vietnam were smoking pot.

What did everyone seem to know that I didn’t? I knew Reefer Madness was full on bullshit, so that was no scary barrier.

I also knew a growing number of my friends were starting to smoke and I learned that some of our teachers secretly inhaled. So, I thought, what the hell, went to my buddy’s

@johnsaltas

house, put Disraeli Gears on the record player and took a puff. Then another.

I remember my buddy needling over to the song “Strange Brew.” OK, cool, but nothing new. Then there was a song about trees outside the window or something, and I thought, “Man, who would ever write that?” Pretty soon “Tales of Brave Ulysses” played and I started to, uhh, drift. About then, my friend switched to a different Cream album and lo, Jesus! “Sunshine of Your Love” hit me like a ton of electric guitars. I’ve been shaking my head ever since, wondering if there could possibly be a better trio anywhere ever better than Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

I was hooked (on Cream, that is). As they say, nothing happened, it didn’t do a thing for me.

Fast forward to that summer. I was in Lava Hot Springs for the Fourth of July and I saw my first cowboy smoking pot. Hmmm. And I remembered the Nam guys. Hum, hum.

Something wasn’t ringing true. It wasn’t peer pressure. Pot was just suddenly everywhere. By my senior year of high school, damn near everyone I knew had smoked pot, even the good boys and girls. Nobody was going crazy and eating trees. Over time most of us just up and quit. Some just because; some because they’d gotten busted; some because of marriage; some because of church missions. The last time I smoked a joint was 294 dog years ago. Me and Mary Jane had an amicable divorce.

Then, a few years ago, someone mistakenly gave me an edible marijuana gum drop before a group dinner. It was innocent. But a few hours later I’m thinking, “Wow, what’s in this ceviche?” It wasn’t until a year later that I learned the gum drop guy was taking them for pain and had mistakenly given me one. That’s the first I discovered medical cannabis being used for pain relief. I dug a bit deeper—where had I been

all these years?—and learned of the myriad uses of medical cannabis. For cancer patients, sufferers of epilepsy, autistic children, depression, anxiety and for men and women back from war and suffering from PTSD—aha! Those friends of mine coming back from Vietnam with pockets full of Thai stick weren’t degenerate dopers; they were self medicating.

Our society labeled them wrongly. All of them. Say you’re sorry, society! Our leaders lied, but why? It’s too long a tale for the space remaining here, but you’re all smart readers. You know it’s about the money. Politicians profit when drug companies profit. With all the drugs that have been dispensed over 50 years, no American should even sniffle. But, sniffle they do, and OD they do, as well. Our leaders even cooked up a War on Drugs, in part to keep plenty of extra jobs alive in the industries of law enforcement and incarceration and the voting support that came with said jobs. It’s been a good 50 year run for those folks. But times are changing.

We’re not dopes. Thirty states have laws allowing for some level of legal cannabis use. We want Utah to become state number 31. As expressed in last week’s issue, there is a ballot initiative coming in November where you can do your part to legalize medical cannabis in Utah. YOU MUST VOTE! Leading up to the vote, in October City Weekly will host the state’s first ever medical cannabis convention, Utahcann (utahcann. com). Please come. It’s time to educate Utahns about the truth behind medical cannabis and its viability over opioids.

It’s time for all of us to put down the marijuana stigma, face our mothers and children and say, “I love you. If you are hurting, I will help you. If that help comes from a marijuana plant, I will give it to you and please give it to me if I hurt, too.”

We’ve all hurt for way too long. CW Send feedback to comments@cityweekly.net

HITS&MISSES

BY KATHARINE BIELE @kathybiele

Taken Hostage

Stockholm syndrome: A condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. Rep. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, might be sorry he ever mentioned it. While defending President Trump’s unpopular tariffs, McCay likened tariff opponents to weary and frightened captives. You know, Canada, Brazil, Mexico—they’ve all been holding us hostage and we’ve come to like it. At least, that was his take as he sat in his right-wing silo on KCPW 88.3 FM’s “Both Sides of the Aisle.” But as he thinks Trump is riding to our rescue, just about every other media outlet thinks the president himself has fueled Stockholm syndrome in the nation.

The Washington Post says House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just sit and take the verbal abuse. And then look at Trump’s aides whom he “virtually tortures.” Even Vanity Fair asks if an entire country can resist its captor. Good question.

If you live in Utah, you know we’re all about appropriateness. Utah, the get-along state. So the shock and awe wasn’t all that surprising when South Salt Lake Councilwoman Sharla Bynum asked an appalling question about the possibility of systemic sexism. Oh, my God, no! came the answer from male councilmembers. It’s inappropriate and offensive to call us fine, upstanding citizens bigots. Well, Bynum didn’t call them bigots. She asked—rhetorically—is Mayor Cherie Wood being denied raises because she’s a woman? It’s not a bad question at all. Instead of righteous indignation, the councilmembers should have ticked off their ill-thought reasoning, and dug deep down to ask themselves if the same would be true had Wood been a man. It’s a simple question, guys!

Thanks, Anyways!

Well, yeah! Rep. Rob Bishop. You want to fix up those crumbling national parks, the ones whose infrastructure has long been neglected. Bishop and a Democratic colleague have introduced a $5.2-billion bill to fix roads, trails and other things in the parks, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Of course, there’s a $12-billion backlog, but it’s a start, right? The bill would divert unallocated federal energy development revenue to the cause, though it’s a good question what other projects that revenue might have been used for. But as the Trib noted, Trump’s budget called for the privatization of these national treasures because, well, our taxes should go to a wall, or something. But thanks to Bishop, anyway, for trying to clean things up before the fire sales—and before we turn the parks into national gated communities.

CITIZEN REV LT IN ONE WEEK, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

BACKPACKS FOR STUDENTS

You live in Utah where funding for education is abysmal. Here’s a chance to help students get ready for the year ahead. United Way is holding a Stuff the Bus event to assemble school supplies into backpacks for 12,000 children in 30 schools that need help. Organizers expect 500 volunteers, but there are only 30 or so spots left for the general public.

Adults should register at the website listed below. You also can donate a backpack or host a school supplies drive. The event includes a free breakfast and a chance to win prizes. Rio Tinto Stadium, 9256 S. State, 801-736-7706, Saturday, Aug. 4, 9:30 a.m.-noon, free, bit.ly/2LvHVur.

GRAND STAIRCASE ACTION

It’s discouraging to think about the nation’s monuments and parks being imperiled by energy development. Still, the more you know, the more likely you are to make a difference in the ongoing battle to save our national treasures. Here’s a chance to learn about the largest riparian restoration program in BLM history, and the status of litigation seeking to overturn President Donald Trump’s proclamation gutting Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Grand Staircase Escalante Partners is leading the charge to “Save Grand Staircase” and will host Saving Grand Staircase: Paleontology, Restoration and the Legal Landscape to discuss the unique dinosaurs being unearthed in the wild and the threatened Kaiparowits Plateau. Dr. Joe Sertich, curator of dinosaurs at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is guest speaker. Salt Lake Public Library, 210 E. 400 South, Thursday, Aug. 9, 7-8:30 p.m., free, bit.ly/2NMCiEU.

POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS

If you’re finding the present political environment just too confusing or overwhelming, you might want to join a small group in Living Room Conversations, a safe place to vent and learn what’s really going on in your community and the nation. Action Utah holds casual conversations in homes and backyards across the state for groups of 15 or more to demystify our political system, give you community advocacy tools, and discuss specific issues that matter to you. Wondering if you’d fit in? “We meet with neighborhood groups, book clubs, action groups, Bible studies, senior groups, community groups and groups of friends and family,” the group’s website says.

LGBTQ VISIBILITY

Podcast Principle

Two friends broaden Utahns’ understanding of what it’s like to be LGBTQ one podcast at a time.

BY KELAN LYONS klyons@cityweekly.net @kelan_lyons

Through Masc4Masc, Trent Morrison, left, and Chris Glaittli hope to add to the local LGBTQ conversation.

nerable about our past—the good, the bad, the ugly. We want to be really transparent and open and real,” Morrison says.

Glaittli came out to his family when he was 19 instead of going on a mission.

“I know I came out super lucky,” he says, because his parents took the news relatively well—he’s acquainted with a lot of queer-identifying Mormons who were shamed by the church or kicked out of their families after coming out.

He hopes that listeners who are struggling with telling their families they’re gay or who were traumatized by the church understand that “being gay doesn’t have to be this huge, insane burden or secret.”

Glaittli and Morrison aren’t the only voices on the show—Masc4Masc has also featured interviews with a handful of guests who have helped facilitate the hosts’ goal of creating relationships through vulnerability and honesty.

“The most important thing that we, as queer folks and other marginalized people can do to bring about some authentic, radical transformation in our society is to share our stories,” Connell O’Donovan, a recent Masc4Masc guest and organizer of Salt Lake City’s first Gay and Lesbian Pride march in 1990, says. “When you are doing that with people who have opposed you, people who have disenfranchised you and marginalized you, if they can hear you and hear your story, that changes them. They cannot go to sleep that night and say, ‘I’ve never met an openly gay person.’” CW

You Shouldn’t Ask LGTBQ+ Folks” and “How to be an Ally.” Morrison says future installments are being planned on sensitive topics like how to talk to a child who recently came out of the closet.

“You could either make your child’s experience really open if they come out, or you can really affect them long term,” Glaittli says, adding the show has brought him closer to his own family—his sisters have learned more about him through listening.

Both Glaittli and Morrison grew up in Mormon families, a personal history Morrison brings up when talking about his home life in Salem, Ore. “It provided a lot of trauma for me, and it provided a lot of shame,” Morrison says of his time in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “and so, through the podcast and other resources like therapy and friends and a lot of support systems, I’ve been able to control that narrative a little bit more.”

The LDS church has been slowly modernizing its stance toward members of the LGBTQ community in recent years, but historically it has stood against gay rights, as when leaders supported a same-sex marriage ban in California in 2008 or made apostates of married same-sex couples and barred their children from some religious privileges as a result of its so-called “November Policy” in 2015. Currently, the church teaches that identifying as LGBTQ is not a sin, but acting on those sexual impulses “get[s] in the way of our eternal progress.”

“For me, it’s really important to be candid and open and honest, and vul-

daddies and zaddies. But it’s not all fun and “gaymes,” to borrow a word used frequently in their episode descriptions—conversations often veer toward heavier topics, like Morrison navigating a toxic relationship while still in the closet and Glaittli speaking out on social media about the intersectionality of being a gay, black, feminist man.

“Our focal point has always been to eliminate the stereotype and talk about things a little more openly when it comes to being a gay man in Utah,” Glaittli says. “It’s helping people get a real sense of, ‘A day in the life.’”

Each of the 17 episodes (as of press time) typically follow the same format—with Morrison and Glaittli breaking down common misconceptions of LGBTQ people while also talking about things they love and hate. Through their infectious, large personalities, Morrison and Glaittli’s playful-yet-serious talks underscore the strong friendship they’ve had since college and fulfill an important role for heteronormative Utahns.

“In Utah, and maybe the nation and the world, I think there is a bit of a disconnect when it comes to people who don’t really know how to ask the right questions or have a conversation with people of the LGBTQ+ community,” Glaittli says. “People want to ask questions … We’re doing the conversation before they can ask, so that it sparks that conversation for everyone else.

That’s the hope anyway, that it does ignite allyship.”

earching for a way to feed their creative sides, Trent Morrison and Chris Glaittli decided in late 2017 they were going to launch a podcast. All they had to do was figure out its focus.

“Well, we’re gay, we know a lot about gay shit,” Morrison says, recalling the days before they launched Masc4Masc, a queer-themed show that, according to its website (m4mpodcast.com), provides “an additional, and much needed, queer voice in conservative Utah.” The name comes from a commonly used term in the gay community about masculine people seeking masculine partners, which, the podcast’s webpage says, “plays into a larger conversation about gay toxic masculinity and what it means to be a queer, gay, femme, etc. man.”

Every Sunday night, the pair—“cohoests,” as they describe themselves— meet in Morrison’s bedroom in their shared apartment in the 9th & 9th neighborhood, where they record and edit their conversations. They release each iteration the following Thursday and share it on social media. They don’t make any money from the five or so hours a week each episode demands, but Morrison says as many as 4,000 people have downloaded Masc4Masc in a single month. Most of those listeners are in Salt Lake City, he adds, but they also have pockets of fans in the United Kingdom, Australia and Des Moines, Iowa.

“There’s such a lack of queer voices in the podcasting world, and comedy, so many areas,” Morrison says. “I do want to be examples and I want to show people how easy and casual a podcast can be. And, just taking up space is so important.”

Masc4Masc dropped its first installment at the end of January. Since then, Morrison and Glaittli have finished their first season and are more than halfway through season 2, regaling listeners with the history of drag queens, the duo’s thoughts on LGBTQ superheroes and the difference between

With increased visitation and crumbling infrastructure, national parks need money.

But President Trump wants to cut even more of their funding.

By Daria Bachmann | comments@cityweekly.net |

again proposes cutting the parks’ budgets.

In 2017, the National Park Service completed more than $519 million in maintenance and repair work. However, high visitation, aging infrastructure and budget constraints have kept the price for repairs high, according to the Department of the Interior.

Ironically, the very popularity of national parks is driving the unmet budget need.

“The increase in visitation just makes the problem worse,” Garder says.

The Park Service’s budget was $3.4 billion in 2017, $2.9 billion of which was a congressional appropriation. An additional $594 million came from other sources, including $282 million generated by user fees.

The data provided by the National Parks Conservation Association show that while discretionary funding for the Park Service has grown since fiscal year 2009, it has still not been enough to keep up with all maintenance and repairs amid increased visitation.

Discretionary funding includes all programs for which money is annually appropriated by Congress.

Only 117 out of 417 sites in the national park system collect fees. At the fee-collecting parks, 80 percent of the funds generated remain in the parks where they were collected, while 20 percent go into a funding pool for other parks.

In recent years, the budget appropriation process has become even more constrained, leaving the Park Service in a bind.

Garder says the Trump administration provided a “very damaging” budget blueprint for fiscal year 2018, asking Congress for cuts to the Park Service. Congress rejected the administration’s proposed budget, which would have eliminated thousands of jobs, and instead provided

| CITY WEEKLY |

John Garder, senior director of budget and appropriations at the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Association, says the majority of national parks have been short on cash for years.

“As a general rule, parks are underfunded,” Garder says in a telephone interview.

“The two main issues are understaffing and the deferred maintenance backlog”—estimated at $11.6 billion as of fiscal year 2018.

rowded visitor centers, crumbling roads and aging buildings—those are the sights at many of America’s national parks, caused by years of chronic underfunding. Will the situation soon get even worse? The Trump administration has proposed stripping national parks’ funding even further, despite the fact that people are visiting our public lands more and more.

it with more money than was originally proposed.

But Trump’s $2.7 billion 2019 budget, unveiled earlier this year, calls for a 7 percent cut to the Park Service. This would result in a loss of nearly 2,000 ranger jobs.

The proposal also includes specific cuts to cultural programs, land acquisition and the Centennial Challenge, a program that manages philanthropic donations, according to the National Parks Conservation Association.

“National parks are a victim of what has become a broken appropriations system, and they are not receiving the support they should and not being prioritized,” Garder says.

Visitation Increasing

One site typifies the budget constraints felt across the country: Zion National Park in southwestern Utah.

This year more than 30,000 visitors flooded the park the Sunday before Memorial Day. Zion is the only national park where management is considering a reservation system, as its visitation has been growing at a fast clip.

Just under 150,000 acres, Zion has only one main road that stretches for six miles.

In 2017, the park had approximately 4.5 million visitors, making it the third mostvisited national park in the country. That is up almost 2 million visitors from the 2.7 million that came in 2007.

The park’s Twitter account has warned visitors often in recent weeks about parking restrictions.

A tweet on June 15 read: “Parking is full at the Zion Visitor Center and the lot has been closed. Visitors should not to go to the visitor center to park. Park in Springdale.”

Utah’s four other National Parks also are seeing similar increases that strain the parks’ infrastructure.

In south central Utah at Capitol Reef National Park, numbers have nearly doubled in the past 10 years from 555,000 visitors to 1.2 million in 2017. The park, however, has the lowest amount of deferred maintenance costs of the state’s five national parks at $8.4 million as of last year. Zion led the way with $65.3 million in deferred maintenance followed by Canyonlands National Park at $40.7 million, Bryce Canyon National Park at $27.1 million and Arches National Park at $25.6 million.

Sue Fritzke, superintendent at Capitol Reef, tells City Weekly that these days, overflow parking and increased trail use are among major issues. There’s one main road that goes through the park—Highway 24—and when parking lots are full, people end up parking on the sides of the road. That causes hazards not only for visitors, but also degrades the roadside areas.

Like officials at Zion, Fritzke and staff are encouraging visitors to alter their routines and try to either visit earlier in the morning or later in the day.

−Andy Fisher, chief of interpretation for Arches and Canyonlands national parks

“ We have trails in the park that are designed for a certain use-level and with the doubling amount of visitation, the shorter trails are getting double the use they used to get,” she says. “Do we now make those trails bigger to accommodate more visitation or look at some other option?”

When there are so many people on the trails, Fritzke says, hikers can end up trying to pass each other off the designated paths, damaging vegetation. “ We’re encouraging people to get there as early as 7 in the morning,” she says. “It is really an amazing time because you have these long shadows and great colors— that way, we don’t have to worry about actual changes in the infrastructure.”

To the east at Arches and Canyonlands, the parks have also seen rising visitation numbers, though nowhere near the level at Zion. According to Park Service data, 1.5 million people visited Arches in 2017, up from 860,000 in 2007. At Canyonlands, 742,000 people visited, up from 418,000 10 years ago.

Most recently, crews at Arches completed a paving project that improved roads and increased the amount of parking. Andy Fisher, chief of interpretation for Arches and Canyonlands, says that while the park has been able to address some of its deferred-maintenance projects, “the rate our visitation is increasing is outpacing what we can possibly do with our paving project.”

As of July 1, park entrance fees have increased by $5-$10 to help address budget concerns. Of the 80 percent that stays at the park, 55 percent is earmarked for deferred-maintenance projects. Fisher, though, says it might not be a cure-all for increases in tourism.

“I can’t say that the increased visitation is really backing the deferred maintenance numbers as much as the increased visitation is really starting to impact the visitor experience at Arches,” Fisher says. “No one comes to Arches National Park to wait in line at the entrance station or to circle the Devil’s Garden parking lot to find a parking spot to go hike.”

While Fisher says there is less infrastructure to maintain within Canyonlands, much of the work is spent on trail upkeep. They also get help from volunteers.

Officials at Zion or Bryce Canyon parks didn’t respond to requests for comment by press time.

Similar situations are occurring around the country. Last year, 331 million people visited the 417 National Park Service sites across the country, according to the Department of the Interior.

Grand Canyon and Great Smoky Mountains national parks were the second and first most-visited, respectively.

Dana Soehn, spokesperson for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, says visitation has increased by 25 percent over the past decade, while staffing has decreased by 23 percent.

To counteract the impact of the increased visitation, Soehn says, park officials, like in Utah, started to remind visitors to travel to the park during less-busy times

Courthouse Loop, Near Arches

Park visitation numbers for 2017 Zion National Park: 4,504,812 Canyonlands National Park: 742,271 Bryce Canyon National Park: 2,571,684 Arches National Park: 1,539,028 Capitol Reef National Park: 1,150,165

Deferred maintenance budgets as of 2017

“ Visitation has increased by 37 percent over the last five years,” he says. “This increase creates challenges for park staff, facilities, visitors and the resources people come here to enjoy. Right now, we’re collecting data on visitor expectations and how they move through the park.”

Possible Solutions

Several bills aimed at reducing maintenance backlog at the National Park Service currently are making their way through Congress.

The National Park Service Legacy Act, introduced by U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner, D -Va., and Rob Portman, R- Ohio, would allocate $500 million annually from revenues that the government receives from oil and natural gas royalties into a National Park Service Legacy Restoration Fund until 2047.

Rachel Cohen, communications director for Sen. Warner, says his office is discussing the measure with the Senate Committee on Energy and National Resources.

Another piece of legislation geared toward the Park Service’s financial woes is the National Park Restoration Act, introduced by U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Rep. Michael Simpson, R-Idaho, on March 7.

Under the bill, half of the excess revenue from controversial offshore and onshore drilling would be funneled to the Park Service. The bill would create a fund for projects at national parks.

Ashton Davies, communications director for Sen. Alexander, says that there have been no hearings on the bill, but it has already received support from some Democrats. The legislation also would need to go through the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

On the House side, Utah’s Rep. Rob Bishop, along with Rep. Raul Grijalva, D -Ariz., introduced legislation just last week that would earmark about $5.2 billion to fix roads, trails and other aging infrastructure at the country’s parks. Money for the improvements would come from royalties on oil and gas extraction on public lands.

Last year, a proposed fee increase at the nation’s 17 most-popular national parks caused a public outcry, as it would have nearly tripled vehicle entrance fees during peak seasons. Following the uproar, the Trump administration scaled back its plans and implemented the recent $5-$10 fee hikes.

Garder argues that increasing fees alone can’t solve the issue. He says any further increases on top of those that have already gone into effect could drive away visitors. “ While fees play an important role in supplementing federal funds, they are no substitute, and they have to remain at a reasonable rate so as not to discourage visitation,” he says. “These are lands Americans own, and they have a right to visit them affordably. What’s most needed is a more robust federal investment.” CW

like early mornings and mid-week, and have worked to make some of its most-used facilities more sustainable, including the park’s most popular trails.

Meanwhile, the total deferred maintenance for Great Smokies is more than $215 million. While deferred maintenance is spread across thousands of physical assets, more than 75 percent of the repair needs, or $167 million, is associated with the park’s road system, Soehn says.

“This is not surprising when you consider the millions who choose to experience the Smokies from behind the driver seat every year,” she says.

Aging buildings are another primary concern in the Smokies, accounting for 8 percent of repair needs, or $16 million. The current deferred maintenance backlog for the trails system exceeds $16 million, which accounts for 7 percent of the park’s total deferred maintenance needs.

In 2018 and 2019, Soehn says, the park is embarking on a $2.5-million public-private partnership opportunity to fund deferred maintenance needs for the infrastructure of nine radio repeater sites, which help ensure the safety of visitors and field employees.

Grand Canyon National Park, which saw more than 6.2 million visitors in 2017, has more than $329 million in deferred maintenance. That figure includes the TransCanyon Pipeline, which carries water to the South Rim and its visitor centers and hotels. The pipe’s condition continues to deteriorate as it leaks and breaks.

The deferred maintenance backlog at Yosemite National Park in California currently stands at more than $582 million.

Scott Gediman, spokesperson for Yosemite, says the park’s critical needs include three wastewater-treatment plants.

Similarly to Great Smokies, which receives outside help, Yosemite gets assistance from Yosemite Conservancy, a nonprofit organization which provides grants and supports the park’s 750 miles of trails. Most recently, Gediman says, the conservancy donated $20 million toward the renovation of Mariposa Grove, a stand of sequoias that reopened in mid-June.

Asked if the park has enough staff to manage all visitors, Gediman says they are able to operate with its current 700-800 employees. “ We could always use more people, but we have a very talented and dedicated staff and we feel that we are able to protect the park.”

Yellowstone National Park, meanwhile, needs more than $800 million to address its maintenance backlog. The most pressing issues revolve around visitors services, says park spokesperson Neal Herbert.

“Those include constant repair and upkeep to roads, historic structures, water, wastewater, trails and boardwalks,” Herbert says. “For example, thermal basins change constantly and boardwalks need to be moved.”

This year’s Memorial Day contributed to May 2018 being the busiest May ever recorded in the park.

Heber Valley Railroad Wizard’s Train What Harry Potter fan hasn’t dreamed of receiving an owl-delivered letter telling them they are a witch or wizard, and then getting to take a ride on the Hogwarts Express?

The Heber Valley Historic Railroad offers a way to make this dream a reality—albeit one that isn’t officially licensed with the Harry Potter brand. Departing from the Heber Depot and traveling along a scenic route through the valley, the Wizard’s Train is a family-friendly magical adventure.

The journey includes mingling with costumed staff dressed as versions of popular characters like Professor Dumbledore, Luna Lovegood and Bellatrix Lestrange. Visitors can also visit the Sorting Hat in order to be sorted into one of the four wizarding houses. As the train gets rolling, guests can explore the train and visit the concession car to receive magical snacks like chocolate frogs and (non-alcoholic) butterbeer, and check out magical items such as wands available for purchase.

Ava Magalei, a staff member on the train, says that while they work really hard to bring these themed train rides to life, it’s the guests who make them truly memorable. “I love that they’re so excited about the stories that we’re trying to tell, and that they’re just as caught up in the magic as we are,” Magalei says.

While car seats and strollers are not allowed on the train, young children are welcome. Kids 2 and under do not require a ticket to board.

The total train ride lasts approximately two hours. (Kylee Ehmann) Wizard’s Train @ Heber Valley Railroad, 450 S. 600 West, Heber City, 435-6545601, Aug. 2-3; Oct. 12, 19, 22, 26 & 29, 7 p.m., $25, hebervalleyrr.org

The Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival might only be celebrating its fourth year, but it hasn’t taken long for the event to carve out a unique space in the local arts community. For playwright Morag Shepherd—who has worked on a piece for the festival in every one of those four years, including this year’s Hindsight (pictured)—it’s the place where she knows she can take any idea that challenges an audience.

“The thing that I love about the Fringe is, it’s a place where you can really go big or go home,” Shepherd says. “People expect something a little bit different, so you can take a chance.”

For 2018, the Fringe Festival—which showcases 30 theater, dance and performance pieces over two weeks—takes up residence in a new venue, making use of several former storefronts in The Gateway. For festival director Shianne Gray, moving to downtown brings these works closer to the heart of the local arts community. “We’re really excited that we’ll get to reach a whole new audience,” Gray says.

“With everything that’s going on with the cultural core, we can kind of jump on that train.”

Those who have never attended a Fringe Festival before can expect shorter (usually under 60 minutes) pieces that represent the kind of inspiration Shepherd had after she read an absurdist Russian theater piece. “It was really weird, really abstract,” Shepherd says, “so I kind of let loose on the absurdity of it.

The whole process was like, ‘This is going to be for Fringe.’” (Scott Renshaw) Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival @ The Gateway, 110 S. Rio Grande, Aug. 2-12, dates and times vary, $10 per show; $24 3-pack; $70 10-pack, greatsaltlakefringe.org

Marc Maron is not your typical stand-up guy.

For one thing, he looks like the college professor who continually challenges whatever conclusions you reach in his class. For another, he’s extremely self-analytical, using his selfeffacing comedy to articulate his insecurities, past failures and struggles with addiction. He once told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that his range of emotions was limited to “aggravated, sad and thoughtful ... on occasion.”

That’s evidenced through the various mediums in which Maron operates, from his stand-up specials on HBO, Comedy Central and Netflix to his frequent appearances on the late night talk-show circuit, his four critically acclaimed comedy albums, two best-selling books, his stints on radio and television (Maron on IFC, the Netflix series Glow, and recurring roles on the series Girls and Louie) and his fleeting role in the film Almost Famous in which he played an angry agent. Then there’s his popular podcast WTF, which finds him hosting celebrities of the highest order—Barack Obama, Robin Williams and Keith Richards among many—for casual conversations broadcast from his garage. WTF garnered 250 million downloads during its first six years, and continues to rack up six million downloads per month.

For all those successes, Maron admits he’s had shortfalls as well. He says he failed his Saturday Night Live audition because he was high while talking with Lorne Michaels. His matter-of-fact delivery doesn’t spare anyone, himself included. “My entire existence is ironic,” he once noted. Like everything he rails about, that’s an understatement as well.

The eight-legged residents of Antelope Island seem to overrun the state park each year. But far from making it a site of terror, this annual event is marked and celebrated by the staff at Antelope Island with a day-long SpiderFest celebration.

The day is filled with a variety of spider and spider-related educational talks, walks, facepainting and other activities. Additionally, this is also the first year SpiderFest is open to art vendors, with local artisans displaying a variety of woodwork, watercolor, wax and other crafts related to spiders and their ecosystems.

Wendy Wilson, naturalist and assistant manager at the visitor center, says they understand not everyone is going to like spiders even after the festival, but they hope the event can still dispel myths and get people to appreciate spiders’ role in Utah’s environment. “The event is just to help people understand the value of spiders. Love them or hate them, they have an important place in our ecosystem,” Wilson says.

Most of the arachnids visitors see are among the many subspecies of orb weaving spiders, which is what Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web was. But there are plenty of other spiders, such as jumping spiders, tunnel weavers and the black widows, the only spider of medical concern in Utah.

Parking at the visitor center is limited, but organizers provide a shuttle system for visitor overflow. The event itself is free, but park entrance fees still apply.

What’s on tap for Utah’s county fair season.

By Jim Burton - Rocky Mountain Raceways

Long before the advent of cellphone cameras, selfies and social media, there was Mo Hernandez, racetrack photographer extraordinaire.

Dating all the way back to the 1950s, Mo has been taking pictures at Utah racetracks, including Bonneville Raceways and of course, Rocky Mountain Raceways.

Over the years Mo has taken millions of photos of racecars, racers and race fans.

Some have turned out well, others have been spectacular and others have never seen the light of day.

Of course Mo has also photographed some incredible, exhilarating moments on the Young Kia Drag Strip as well as the America First Credit Union Super Oval. Mo told the story of the time, way back, when he got an idea to snap some shots near the top end of drag strip. “I used to go down at the other end and take pictures, and it used to get so hot down there,” he explained, “so I dug a hole right next to the track, and I had this little piece of plywood I’d put over it (when it wasn’t in use), and I’d sit there and I’d look and I could see them coming because I was eye level with the ground.”

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

That certainly had to be a surreal moment for the racers who looked over and saw what looked to be a disembodied head lying there. Mo said he loves the moment when someone will look at one of his old pictures and see a parent or a grandparent in a car, racing. Often he sees tears streaking down the person’s face. “That’s my pay,” he said. Considering all the photos he has taken at RMR, he certainly has received some great payouts.

| CITYWEEKLY.NET |

Mo was featured when Fox 13’s Good Day Utah recently visited the RMR. He brought along several old pictures and discussed them with Fox 13’s Big Budah.

“Each one of those pictures has a story behind it,” Mo said. He’s right, of course. The best photos capture a moment with a story behind it, but a place like RMR seems to have more depth of character whether on the track, in the pits or up in the stands.

“Especially when you go out to the pit and you see how some of these people are struggling,” Mo continued. “They’ll sit down and talk to me and say, ‘you know what?

If I don’t win this round, we’re through. That kind of hurts when I hear stuff like that, but it’s reality.”

Best bet: The filet mignon pho Can’t miss: The rich and authentic Pho 33

AUGUST 2, 2018 | 27

prepared to order its namesake dish—the Pho 33 ($8.50).

While awaiting this rich and fragrant noodle soup that’s become a trendy comfort food, I started to think about the oxtail, tripe and beef tendons simmering in the kitchens of Pho 33.

While it’s hard to swallow for most westerners, the offal we

| CITY WEEKLY |

Despite the fact that authentic pho is served with thinly sliced ribbons of tripe, I’ve always avoided that option because tripe freaked me out. Now that I’ve chased the intestinal dragon and discovered it’s really not all that bad aside from a few textural hang-ups, I entered this casual Vietnamese restaurant fully

ver since I tried the Peruvian, tripe-centric soup called patasca for one of my first food articles, I had a feeling that the rubbery stomach lining might pop up on my radar a few more times. It’s appropriate that it did at Midvale’s Pho 33 (7640 S. State, 801-889-4090, pho33utah.com), because I’ve been a bit of a pho-natic ever since I first encountered the tasty Vietnamese noodle soup.

pan-fried noodles add some nice texture, but the soy sauce-based gravy offers the same flavor that you could get at any take-out restaurant.

As I’ve also got a pot-sticker addiction, I can’t resist ordering them as an appetizer if they’re on the menu. The pot stickers ($4.95) at Pho 33 are more on the deep-fried end of the dumpling spectrum, and the outer shell was a bit overdone for my taste. The filling, however, was juicy and flavorful, once again proving that Pho 33 knows its beef.

For a place that takes its name from its signature dish, it’s wise to stick to the pho section of the menu at Pho 33. The variety is hard to beat, and it’s a great place to revisit the historical roots of an item that has become a lunchtime staple of the urban diner. CW

indistinguishable from the noodles, and it provides just enough textural contrast to make me glad it’s there.

In addition to the more naughty bits, the Pho 33 comes with sliced brisket and meatballs, making this one of the more beef-centric meals you can get your hands on here.

There are multiple layers of umami, though the presence of that oxtail bone had me expecting just a bit more depth. The pho still manages to be the warm, comforting bit of cultural history I love. Those who aren’t interested in offal can get pho with Kobe beef ($12.50) or filet mignon ($8.50).

Venturing away from its wide variety of noodle soups is a little hit-and-miss. A dish called ap chao is on their list of house specials, so I decided to give the combination ($9.95) a go. The foundation of this dish is a bed of flat noodles that have been cooked and then pan-fried into crispy, cake-like patties. The combo comes with slices of beef and chicken, shrimp and veggies like carrots and bok choy. There’s nothing particularly wrong with this dish, and the crispy edges of the

usually throw away is popular in the foundations of many international food cultures. Pho, like patasca, was developed hundreds of years ago by working-class people who had to get creative because their food options were limited. Tripe, tendons and bones made their way into traditional Vietnamese soup because they were—and still are— cheap ways to impart more flavor into what otherwise would be a one-note dish. Diving into a bowl of Pho 33 showcases the roots of all the different iterations of this soup we’ve come to know and love.

I don’t have long to ruminate on my pho’s origin story before it comes to my table, steaming with the aroma of anise and cinnamon—the service here is prompt and friendly.

Its broth is characteristically deep russet in color with flecks of finely chopped green onions and cilantro happily floating on the surface. The only marked difference between this bowl of pho and those I have procured elsewhere is the fistsized chunk of oxtail that sits like an uncharted island within a sea of heady broth. The tripe is sliced so thinly that it becomes virtually

Inspired by a seedy character from Utah history, a mysterious little supper club called London Belle (321 S. Main, 801-363-8888, londonbelleslc.com) has opened its doors in downtown Salt Lake. The restaurant takes its name from Dora B. Topham, or Belle London to those who knew her as one of Ogden’s most famous madams during the early 1900s. Fully embracing the mystique of this fascinating woman, London Belle’s website touts cryptic mentions of special reservations, candlelit caves and brothel burgers. Based on its proximity to The Rest, another downtown restaurant with a speakeasy reputation, London Belle is shaping up to be the kind of spot that whisks patrons off to a different time and place. I, for one, wouldn’t mind getting a peek at its selection of tarts.

CHINESE SEAFOOD | SUSHI | MONGOLIAN

These two beers might be different, but can appeal to a variety of preferences.

BY MIKE RIEDEL comments@cityweekly.net @utahbeer

I

t’s been a great couple of weeks in the beer-nerd world. There’s so much beer diversity happening in our little Utahshaped corner of that world, it’s providing fertile ground for more creativity and innovation. This week’s selections are very different from each other, and will appeal to the bitter and fruity sides of every personality. Enjoy!

Proper Puddleduck: This New Englandstyle pale ale is a collaboration brew made with our friends from Sawtooth Brewery in Ketchum, Idaho. Since this is in the New England style, it has that turbid honeyorange appearance that’s typical for this variety of pale ale. The head is sturdy with an initial finger of white foam that settles

Polar Opposites

to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace drape down the side of the glass as it’s sipped. The smell is of citrus zest, grapefruit juice and pine, with a sharp weedy aroma. The taste is much the same with the exception of an unusual black-tea flavor followed by a small dose of lightly sweet malt and crackers. Citrus zest, floral and herbal hop flavors carry on from there, providing that typical IPA bitter finale.

The finish is dry and herbal, and there’s a medium amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium-bodied mouth feel.

Overall: This 4 percent pale ale is a pretty good beer with lots of different hop qualities coming from an unusual choice of new and experimental hops. As far as its New England qualities are concerned: It lacks the big tropical fruitiness of the style, but excels as a West Coast style in both smell and taste.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one.

Shades of Pale Kveik No. 3: A few weeks ago, I profiled the first of three Kveik beers from Shades of Pale Brewing. As you might recall, the Kveik—pronounced “kawike”—is unique Norwegian yeast strain that imparts a citrusy/herbal character into beer, very similar to the lactobacillus flavors you’ll find in some Berliner Weisse beers. As promised, I’m offering my impressions of the second Kveik, which is the Kveik No. 3. Confused? Don’t be: Kveik No.

2 wasn’t quite finished. Kveik No. 3 pours a very nice cloudy pale yellow color, with light carbonation that provides a creamy texture but does little to help the head retention. There’s not much in the way of lacing or foam, either. The nose is tart with tropical fruits and berries; some lemon and herbal hops creep in at the very end of the whiff. The taste is nice, starting out with a mild tartness that soon reveals pineapple, mango and some more berry-like sweetness. A good dose of lactic sugar comes in next, adding some creamy vanilla to the tart fruits. The result is a very satisfying

sherbet or sorbet quality that takes you into the milkshake realm. The end is a complex citrus salad of lemon, tangerine and orange. With a medium body, it hides its 6.3 percent ABV very well.

Overall: If you’re a fan of tart ice cream and shakes, you’ll find your happy place here. This is one of the more unique beers on the market, and is definitely worth your time.

Both of these beers are limited and won’t be around forever. You can find them both at their respective breweries. As always, cheers! CW

Curry in a Hurry

Owned and operated by the Nisar family since 1998, Curry in a Hurry is a cozy space—I’d be surprised if more than 25 people can fit in there at once—but it certainly possesses an undeniable charm. The menu offers only a handful of curries; my favorite dish is the half-and-half combo ($11.99), because it’s a hefty sampling of what the institution has to offer, all piled high on a pillow of rice and served with naan. The lamb korma is an excellent complement to the curried chicken. It has a darker, richer flavor profile, and the lamb is perfectly cooked. If meat isn’t your thing, this is also a great place to get vegan and gluten-free food—their rotating list of veggie curries doesn’t skimp on the flavor. While the half-and-half combo typically satisfies the average curry craving, don’t be afraid to expand your horizons with their Mega Combo ($16.99) or Colossal Combo ($24.99), both of which come with every curry on the menu. It’s enough food to easily split among two or three diners, and it offers a truly immersive curry experience. Reviewed July 12. 2020 S. State, 801-467-4137, ilovecurryinahurry.com

Tessa Thompson, Annihilation: Alex Garland’s thinky sci-fi thriller vanished quickly at the box office, but made an impression with its all-female principal cast as a research team investigating a mysterious phenomenon taking over parts of the East Coast. The most resonant work came from Thompson as astrophysicist Josie, whose reserved personality eventually reveals deeper layers of pain. Her final scenes, as she becomes part of the shifting world around her, evoke the complex relationship between a mentally ill person and the wounds that can begin to define them.

Joaquin Phoenix, You Were Never Really Here: Joe—the emotionally tortured veteran-turned-private investigator at the center of Lynne Ramsay’s dark drama— doesn’t say much as he carries out his assignments tracking down missing or exploited children. But Joaquin Phoenix brings a unique body language to the role of someone barely sure if he wants to be alive, and avoids the clichés of a guy who is completely convincing as a violent, dangerous man who still believes in saving an innocent life.

he year has only just passed the halfway mark, and come Labor Day, cinephile discussions will turn to fall film festivals and all the “awards bait” movies on the horizon. It’s as predictable as it is discouraging: If you do great work in a movie released before September, don’t expect anyone to have a long memory.

Now, it’s not impossible for acting nods to come from early-in-the-year releases; Daniel Kaluuya scored a Best Actor Oscar nomination last year for February’s Get Out. But staying in the conversation for several months means people need to keep talking about good work so it’s not overwhelmed by whatever showy performance opens a week before voters mark their ballots. Here are some of the great performances from the first half of 2018 that I hope we’re still talking about come 2019:

At the heart of this adventure was the righteous anger of Jordan’s Killmonger, the expatriate Wakandan with a different vision for a powerful African nation’s responsibility to downtrodden black people around the world.

Philip Ettinger, First Reformed: Among the few early-2018 performances that seem to have a shot at awards-season recognition is Ethan Hawke’s work as a tormented minister in writer/director Paul Schrader’s First Reformed. But I’d love to see some attention for Ettinger as Michael, the expectant father whose existential terror over a collapsing world sends Hawke’s Rev. Toller on his journey. The role really centers on one scene between the two men, but the way Ettinger conveys Michael’s haunted conviction sets the tone for everything the movie wants to say about despair and faith.

Millicent Simmonds, A Quiet Place: The Bountiful, Utah, native who made her debut in last year’s Wonderstruck brought authenticity to the role of Regan, the deaf daughter in a family trying to survive in a world overrun with predatory aliens who hunt through sound. The deaf actress brings a distinctive intensity to the part, capturing frustration, fear and devotion to her family while never once coming off as a victim.

Miss me with whoever will get an award for doing a biopic impression, when McAdams brings the house down with her earnest realization about a villain who gets sucked into a jet engine: “Yes! … Oh no, he died!”

This type of disposable formula action comedy usually has men in the leading roles, but TSWDM (directed by Susanna Fogel, written by Fogel and David Iserson) proves that mediocrity is not bound by gender. Mila Kunis’ ex-boyfriend Justin Theroux reveals he’s a CIA agent and gives her a package to deliver, which she and her kooky-with-a-capital-K best friend

Kate McKinnon undertake to accomplish while potentially untrustworthy but dashing CIA spies pursue them. The action scenes are surprisingly good—and surprisingly violent—and the comedy has its moments.

moving company, while Collin tries to make it through the last few days of a post-incarceration probation. Diggs and Casal also co-wrote the screenplay, which explores growing up in a tough town in a way that feels authentic and organic, while including hilarious material about invading hipsters. There’s also a lot of plot going on, with the incendiary starting point of Collin witnessing a white cop killing a fleeing black man, and winding through too many showy moments of characters explaining the themes (and even the movie’s title). Diggs’ performance as a man trying to stay alive and free while staying true to his roots provides an anchor, even as the narrative keeps trying to spin off in a hundred different directions.

While there might be nothing earth-shaking about suggesting that middle school is a psychological hellscape, Burnham’s direction captures the unique challenges of a generation immersed in social media, where popularity is instantly quantifiable. Mostly, though, he commits fully to Kayla as a character, allowing Fisher’s natural charms to permeate a young woman who covers her bathroom mirror in affirmations, yet finds her days filled with reminders that she’s never as funny, desirable or cool as she wants to be. It’s a lovely piece of acting, in which Kayla’s attempt at being friendly with the popular girls fails miserably, but her “nailed it” smile makes you cheer for her anyway. (R)—SR

The mostly enigmatic Hunt is given a few more shades to play, but the series remains generally an excuse for great action set in exotic international locations.

And between a single-take freefall through stormy skies, Cruise dashing across the rooftops of London and a helicopter dogfight that winds up on a mountain precipice, McQuarrie delivers the goods in giddy-making fashion. It’s the kind of spectacle that somehow manages to make 2-1/2 hours zip by like a breeze.

TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES BBB This adaptation of the Cartoon Network animated series manages to get in some decent shots at Hollywood’s comic-book franchise obsession in a tale that finds Teen Titans team leader Robin (Scott Menville) super-bummed because he’s one of the last super-heroes left who hasn’t gotten his own big-screen movie. The basic setup allows for light-hearted, kid-friendly action shenanigans, where a battle is less likely to end with an explosion than with a fart. But the real entertainment comes from the digs not just at more-box-office-successful rival Marvel, but at DC’s own movie franchises, from in-joke cameos to post-credits sequences. The filmmakers sometimes resort to easy “I understood that reference” jokes, but they make up for it by with comprehensive skewering of the genre, and having Michael Bolton sing an upbeat, inspirational song about life titled “Upbeat Inspirational Song About Life.” (PG)—SR

Bilingual indie-pop band The Chamanas shine a realistic light on their peaceful life in synergistic El Paso/Juárez.

proud to push that bi-cultural image.”

That open-minded nature has earned The Chamanas plenty of new adherents, expanding their fan base from its Latino core.

“We’re playing a variety of new cities on this tour,” Calderón says, “including Salt Lake City, Corpus Christi and Boston. We have our Latino fans, but we’re starting to see other people from other cultures as well. By mixing our Mexican roots with English lyrics, we’re hoping to achieve a little crossover. We’re from the border, so we have to speak in Spanish and English every day. We just didn’t expect it to sound so good when we starting singing that way, too.”

Shining a realistic light on border life is critical to The Chamanas—especially in this environment of polarized, pugilistic attitudes about the dividing line (or lack thereof) between the United States and Mexico. “El Paso is one of the safest cities in the U.S.,” Calderón says. “It’s a clean, beautiful town with a beautiful park.

I walk downtown with my girlfriend and my dog every Sunday.

Things are way chiller in Juárez now than they were several years ago, too. There are restaurants, bars, theaters and music festivals there. People go back and forth across the border every day, and both cities work together to place an emphasis on business, art, music and other happenings. Anything that can add to that shared culture between El Paso and Juárez is what The Chamanas are trying to promote.” CW

ife along the United States’ southern border is all about dualities. While many Americans look at the area as a lawless region populated solely by desperate migrants and stern ICE agents, those with roots in and feet planted on both sides of the border know the narrative is far more complex.

Such is day-to-day life for self-described “fronterizo indie-pop fusion band” The Chamanas, who call the geographically intertwined metropolitan area of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, home. Since forming five years ago, Manuel Calderón, Héctor Carreón, Alejandro Bustillos and Paulina Reza have paired mainstream pop accolades (a Best New Artist nomination at the 2016 Latin Grammys) with a strong allegiance to the boleros and rancheras traditions of their homeland, blending everything from icy synthesizers to soaring ’70s pop to rustic huapangos into an infectious, distinctive sound.

“When The Chamanas started, we wanted it to have a romantic vibe,” says bassist Calderón. “We’re influenced by pop singers like Jeanette and old Latino rock bands like Los Ángeles Negros. But nowadays, it’s hard not to be political.”

That’s reflected in bilingual April single “If You Build It, We Will Break It Down,” a collaboration with Jim Ward of post-hardcore icons At the Drive-In and acclaimed accordionist Kiko Rodríguez that takes direct aim at President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall. Hailing its mixture of American rock, Colombian cumbia and Spanish pop as an ideal mash-up, Calderón—who co-produced the single and engineers all of The Chamanas’ recordings—said it’s the perfect example of “positive, productive” activism. “Even though we sing about breaking down any wall that might get built, we do it through the collaboration of cultures in El Paso,” he says.

“It’s a nice, synergistic area that serves as this hub for people from all different dimensions. Everyone tolerates and respects other peoples’ beliefs while believing in what they want, too.”

As the band’s profile has grown, they’ve expanded their horizons. The Chamanas’ current tour is presented by popular Mexican beverage company Jarritos, and their recently released deluxe edition of 2017 album NEA (billed as NEA II) features the first material the band has written in English. “La Verdad” is a smoky, sultry song with a hook so catchy that, if the playlist algorithm gods do exist, should be an instant summertime hit.

“We’ve always tried writing in English,” Calderón says, “but it just didn’t feel right until now. We wanted to establish our Spanishinfluenced sound, which has more of a romantic essence to it, and we wanted to give our singer Paulina time to pick up English. She’s come a long way—there’s still a bit of an accent on some of the pronunciations, but we like that. We want to push Latinos to not feel self-conscious about speaking English with an accent. You can be proud of your roots while also embracing new beginnings. We’re

The Decemberists, Whitney

The Decemberists’ sound has always been based in the past. Since forming in 2000, the Portland, Ore., indie-rock group has mined the annals of pop music, from 1980s college rock to traditional folk—and sometimes even Black Sabbath. Indeed, guitarist Chris Funk, lead vocalist/guitarist Colin Meloy, keyboardist Jenny Conlee, bassist Nate Query and drummer John Moen describe themselves as a record-collector’s band—a group of musical scholars who don’t shy away from referencing what came before them. On their new album, I’ll Be Your Girl, the band embraces a retro, 1980s aesthetic, thick with dynamic guitar and synthesizer textures. The new approach is especially apparent on singles “Once in My Life” and “Severed,” the latter of

Mourn

which begins with a krautrock-style mix of arpeggiating keys and heavy guitar riffs. It’s a strikingly different subject than anything The Decemberists have touched on before, especially notable for a group with a longstanding affinity for multi-part folk epics.

The indie-rock mainstays are joined in Park City by Whitney, a fast-rising band from Chicago known for delicate melodies and earnestly straightforward lyrics, before both acts head north to Missoula, Mont., for The Decemberists’ second annual Travelers’ Rest Festival. Whitney frontman/drummer Julien Ehrlich’s vocals are genuinely moving on such hits as “No Matter Where We Go” and “No Woman,” both of which are recognizable thanks to heavy rotation on indie rock playlists in coffee shops everywhere. Turns out that’s perfect for Whitney’s signature sweetness. (Howard Hardee) Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater, 2250 Deer Valley Drive South, Park City, 6:30 p.m., $49-$77, deervalley.com

Mourn, Chastity, Corner Case

Darkness—at the least the sonic kind— descends on Diabolical Records when Catalonian punks Mourn join disaffected Canadian rockers Chastity for an intense show of catharsis and absolution. Both bands have new records out—Mourn’s third album, Sopresa Familia, documents the abuse and turmoil they endured at the hands of their former record label, while Chastity’s debut LP, Death Lust, is a cry for help from Whitby in the far eastern suburbs of Toronto, which frontman Brandon Williams proudly, if painfully, calls home. While Mourn’s four members are barely in their 20s, new songs like “Doing It Right” and “Candle Man” exhibit a world of wised-up maturity, juxtaposing the intertwined vocal and guitar harmonies of Carla Pérez Vas and Jazz Rodriguez Bueno with the powerful percussion of drummer Antonio Postius. Meanwhile, the world of Whitby emerges fully formed from Chastity songs like “Heaven Hell Anywhere Else,” which contemplates suicide, and “Scary,” which mashes up Smashing Pumpkins’ symphonic rock with Hum’s epic walls of sound.

Both bands drag us through the depths but emerge on the other side offering hope for the future—Mourn as a band free from past restraints, and Chastity as a collectiveoriented beacon of light in the otherwise isolated town of Whitby. Perhaps the youth of today really are all right. (Nick McGregor) Diabolical Records, 238 S. Edison St., 7 p.m., $10 presale; $12 day of show, 21+, diabolicalrecords.com

The festival experience is like no other. An idyllic day in scenic surroundings watching wonderful musicians in the company of a few thousand fellow enthusiasts makes for a joyous retreat from a world that often demands respite. Consequently, credit award-winning singer/songwriters Anna Wilson and Monty Powell—founders of the TrouBeliever Fest—for offering an exceptional array of artists, workshops, competitions and late-night jams in a setting that makes songs the stars. Wilson calls it “an extremely unique style of music festival that highlights artists who write their own songs and tell the stories behind them,” adding that the experience serves as a “deconstruction of the big concert event, with troubadours center stage revealing a behind-the-curtain lens into their creative process. No one else has a festival quite like this one, and we are proud to be doing it right here in Utah first.” That claim is underscored by the headliners performing over two days at the picturesque Snowbasin Resort: Shawn Colvin, Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris and a classic rock supergroup featuring Jim Peterik (.38 Special, Survivor), John Elefante (Kansas), Richard Page (Mr. Mister, Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band) and David Pack (Ambrosia).

Hudson says the band and its fans are all about that “headbang life,” adding, “If you come to [our] show and don’t wake up with a bangover to complement your hangover, you didn’t do it right.” At least Hudson is honest about Exes’ sheer deafening sound.

Just a week after dropping their 2017 EP Fire and Fury, the band started catching the attention of the metal masses thanks to the video for “Nothing But the Knife.”

It’s not for the faint of heart, literally—your heart might explode from the suspect white powder that Phil White snorts from a WWII Ka-Bar knife. It might’ve been baby laxative, or it might’ve been something heavier; we’ll never know.

Mary Gauthier, Jaimee Harris

Mary Gauthier sings from the soul.

Abandoned as a newborn, she ran away from home at age 15, shuttling in her youth between drug rehab, halfway houses and the jail cell she landed in on her 18th birthday. Those experiences inevitably informed her music, and after nearly a dozen albums, Emerging Artist of the Year honors from the Americana Music Association and kudos from countless mainstream publications, Gauthier emerged as one of America’s most essential singer/songwriters. Her latest release, Rifles & Rosary Beads, affirms that assessment. Co-written with military veterans and their spouses, it allowed her to share their stories. “Five years ago, I was invited by Darden Smith to participate in a SongwritingWith:Soldiers retreat,” Gauthier says. “I accepted the invitation because my friend Darrell Scott

Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris

called me and told me I should do it.

Within a few hours, I’d co-written my first soldiers’ song.” Obviously overjoyed, she adds, “I fell in love with the process, I fell in love with the veterans and I fell in love with SongwritingWith:Soldiers. Since then, I have co-written over 40 songs with members of the service, and I’m amazed by the process. Co-writing with those who have served is one of the best things I get to do. I learn from them, every single time.” Happily, Gauthier’s listeners learn as well. (LZ) The State Room, 638 S. State, 9 p.m. $24-$38, 21+, thestateroom.com

CONCERTS & CLUBS

BONNETTE

AJJ, Kimya Dawson, Shellshag

This might be the most underrated bill of the summer, falling as it does on a busy Thursday with shows a-plenty around Salt Lake Valley. But Arizona’s AJJ (formerly known as Andrew Jackson Jihad) is one of the most beloved bands in the folk-punk universe; the first time I saw them, when the first note of the first song sounded, a crowd of 500 rabid fans collectively surged forward in a way I have never felt before or since.

Such exuberance is balanced by frontman Sean Bonnette’s poignant streak; AJJ’s 2016 album, Bible 2, comes inscribed with the words “No more shame, no more fear, no more dread,” which Bonnette used for years as a form of self-soothing while wrestling with the impact his band and his music could have on the world. Although AJJ’s Phoenix hometown is different in every way from the New York City streets Kimya Dawson came up in, this pairing actually makes perfect sense: Dawson co-fronted quirky antifolk heroes The Moldy Peaches, which capped off a 10-year run of raw, self-recorded/ self-released material and raucous DIY shows with a post-breakup surge in popularity thanks to the song “Anyone Else But You” being heavily featured in award-winning 2007 indie flick Juno. Since then, Dawson has released a hilarious solo record, Thunder Thighs, and children’s album Alphabutt, while maintaining her reputation as a guileless acoustic punk truth-teller. Expect an explosion of emotion—tears, smiles, bodies hurled gloriously into one another and voices raised as one—at this sold-out show. (Nick McGregor) Kilby Court, 741 S.

If I could identify one small bone to pick with Salt Lake City’s drinking scene, it would be this: There aren’t many places I can enjoy a good beer with my son. Now, I’m not talking about taking him to a dive bar or a rowdy club. Instead, I’m talking about that hallmark of modern hipster culture: the cool brewery with rotating taps, outdoor space for the kids and tasty, creative food.

Avenues Proper Restaurant & Publick House does have a dimly lit 21+ area, but it also hits those family-friendly marks. Taking advantage of having Pioneer Day off, my son and I set out on a long walk ending in things we would both enjoy. His greatest hits were the Prop-Corn with duck fat and dusted fennel pollen plus the butter pasta. Mine were the spicy chicken sandwich and the three drinks I lazily imbibed on our holiday afternoon: the Guest Tap (Red Rock’s West Coast Pale Ale), a deliciously salty BrezelnBrau toasted lager inspired by German pretzels and the Proper Patio Paloma (made with Espolón reposado, lime and grapefruit juice, jalapeño simple syrup, cucumber and club soda). After lunch, my son and I ordered a brownie with peanut butter mousse, vanilla wafer crumble and pomegranate molasses. It took a while to arrive, but that gave me time to dream of an adults-only return visit (first order when I do: the in-house Belgian Dubbel Gruit and Mountain West’s dry-hopped Cottonwood cider). The quiet of an Avenues holiday afternoon provided the perfect antidote to Liberty Park’s Pioneer Day insanity, and the other patio diners chatted us up freely, thumbs-upping my son’s Boston Red Sox hat while explaining the true meaning of “Pie ’n’ Beer Day.” As we strolled home, it hit me: Adults, kids and alcohol actually can get along in Utah.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.”

A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present.

It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m not an ascetic who believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop-nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles and aches.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Astrologer: Recently I’ve been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion.

Not just because I know it’s the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice? -Ambitious Sagittarius.” Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.” Here’s another tip from Anais Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant (1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it.

In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades.

So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Manage with bread and butter until God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb. Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, either from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

AUGUST 2, 2018 | 53

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I predict that August will be a Golden Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literal translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t try to steer the river,” writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms. But wait!

Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust—like now, for you—you might indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A scuffle you’ve been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle.

It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received. The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No, not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I’m pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accomplish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the 5 percent that’s truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

Buying Strategies

I just sold a home to a millennial-aged married couple. It’s their first home, and they were quite excited about the process of looking, finding and buying. The adventure for them was downright brutal. We had to put in eight offers on eight homes before anyone accepted. They submitted over the asking price on every offer except one, with the carrot of lots of earnest money and a big down payment. Almost every time I presented an offer for them, there were multiple competing offers.

This is now the norm. If you’re looking at house porn on the web and about to leap into buying your first, second or even third home let’s look at some strategies to win: 1. Talk to a lender and get pre-approved for a loan. A letter from that lender should accompany your offer. 2. Write a love letter.

Yes, a photo of you and your dog, cat, partner, family, etc., can help. It personalizes things in an electronic world. 3. Put down as much earnest money as you can to show the sellers you are serious. Your broker will advise you, but you can get that money back (we’ll get to that). Earnest money is credited toward your total funds needed at the end of the transaction when you come up with your down payment for the lender.

4. As a buyer, you have three “outs” once your offer is accepted. Under a standard contract, a buyer can get their earnest money back if the home doesn’t appraise for the sale price, if you don’t get approved for the final loan, or if you simply change your mind during what’s called the “buyer’s due diligence period” (also known as the amount of time negotiated for the buyer to do home inspections).

On several occasions, my couple lost out to cash buyers who didn’t have to get a loan or appraisal. Zillow announced this spring that it will buy houses with their instantoffer program. This works for buyers who must sell a home to purchase another, and haven’t sold the home where they are living.

Buyers I work with all the time have to sell, and there’s a strategy for that. You either sell the home ouright or negotiate a rentback from the buyer while you try and find a home. FYI: Lenders generally only like to see a two-month rent-back lease at closing.

Have your broker use an escalation clause to help your offer. Let’s say a seller is asking $350,000 for a house. You offer: “$350,000 but will pay up to $360,000 or $1000 over the highest competing offer”.

Good luck! Even in this market that language doesn’t always work. n Content is prepared expressly for Community and is not endorsed by City Weekly staff.

WEIRD

Inexplicable San Diego photographer Mike Sakasegawa prides himself on seeing the beauty in mundane objects, The Washington Post reports.

But something about his latest subject took social media by storm. On July 11, as Sakasegawa returned home from his morning run, he noticed a round, yellow object rolling down the street.

“I thought it was a tennis ball or something,” he said, but in fact it was a lemon. So he did what any self-respecting photographer would do: He captured video of the fruit as it continued its journey to the bottom of the hill, then posted his 1.5-minute documentary to Twitter. Within 24 hours the video racked up more than 2.5 million views. “I post stuff that’s similar to this all the time,” Sakasegawa said. “Most of the time, it floats on by.”

By the next day, the lemon video had gained more than 100,000 likes, was retweeted tens of thousands of times, and a literary agent had contacted Sakasegawa, wondering if he’d like to make the lemon into a children’s book.

Least Competent Criminals Rye Wardlaw, 40, chalked up a big fail on July 8 at NW Escape Experience in Vancouver, Wash., when he broke into the business in the pre-dawn hours. According to The Washington Post, Wardlaw tried and failed to enter through a back door using a metal pipe, then knocked a hole through the wall. After climbing through, he knocked over a set of lockers. Then, carrying a burrito and a beer he nicked from the company’s refrigerator, he wandered into the “Kill Room,” an escape room dressed to look like a serial murderer’s hideout. Among the blood-spattered walls and fake cadavers, Wardlaw got scared, but he couldn’t ... escape. So he called 911 (four times) and pleaded for help. Clark County Sheriff’s officers accepted his confession and charged him with second-degree burglary.

Bright Idea In Nashville, 20-year-old Antonio Freeman knew he had a problem on June 25 when three police officers approached him as he rolled a marijuana cigarette. He also knew there was a bigger problem in his pocket: a plastic bag full of cocaine. In a bold move, according to the Tennessean, Freeman pulled the bag out of his chest pocket, crushed it in his hand and sprinkled cocaine over Officer Ryan Caulfield’s head and into the air in an attempt to destroy evidence. The officers were able to salvage about 2.5 grams of cocaine and charge Freeman with tampering with evidence along with possession of a schedule IV drug and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo isn’t going to spend her summer sitting in a stuffy office. Instead, she announced on July 14 that she is holding summer office hours at state beaches, beginning with Scarborough State Beach in Narragansett. She and members of the Office of Constituent Services, who will help connect residents with state services, started their new schedule on July 16. The governor told the Associated Press she looks forward to hearing directly from residents while visiting some of the state’s most popular destinations.

Undignified Behavior City Councilwoman Carol S. Fowler, 48, of Huron, Kan., made a splash in the news when Atchison County Sheriff’s deputies tried to arrest her on June 29 for failure to appear on an outstanding warrant. Fowler put up such a fight deputies had to use their Tasers on her, and she was arrested for interference and battery on a law enforcement officer. But Fowler was just getting started, according to the Atchison Globe. On July 2, as jail workers tried to remove her jewelry and personal items, Fowler bit one of them on the thumb hard enough to break the bone. Fowler now faces three felony charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and a charge of interference with a law enforcement officer.

Bold Move A cheeky seagull embarked on a life of crime on July 14 in Gloucester, Mass., by plucking a man’s wallet from the top of a pizza box and carrying it onto a nearby roof. Phil Peterson was on a cherry picker hanging lights nearby and offered to retrieve the wallet, which was being picked apart by two baby seagulls “literally trying to eat (it),” Peterson explained. He tried to distract them by throwing bread at them, but that only turned their attention to him. “It was like the movie, ‘[The] Birds,’” he said.

“I was afraid they were going to pick my brains.” Quick-thinking bystander Mike Ramos borrowed a flashlight from a police officer and used the the strobe feature to “discombobulate” the birds long enough for Peterson to sneak in, grab the wallet and bring it back to earth. “It was just the craziest thing I ever saw in my life,” Ramos told New England Cable News.

Fun Suckers Organizers of Bats Day, a special celebration at Disneyland for the goth community, have called it quits, citing the loss of available tax deductions under President Trump’s new tax law. The annual event began 20 years ago and grew to attract more than 8,000 goths each year, with Disneyland offering discounted tickets and hotel rooms for participants. “We did a lot of research,” Bats Day founder Noah Korda told Vice, “and, unfortunately, it just wasn’t feasible to actually continue ... with the way that we run the event.” On May 6, about 800 goths showed up for a final group photo in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

n Florida Highway Patrol officers pulled over a Nissan sedan on May 16 on I-95 after observing erratic driving, the Miami Herald reported. Indeed, Port St. Lucie, Fla., resident Scott Allen Garrett, 56, smelled of alcohol, had an open bottle of 92-proof Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum on the passenger seat, was slurring his words and had “red, very glassy and bloodshot eyes,” according to the police report. Garrett then told officers his dog had been driving—which would have been notable on its own, but was particularly interesting considering there was no dog in the car with him. Garrett was charged with DUI.

n In Mesa, Ariz., two troopers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety were surprised to find themselves being pulled over on State Route 51 by a black Dodge Charger on July 11. The troopers were in an unmarked Mustang and had spotted the Charger behind them sporting law enforcement-style emergency lights, reported ABC15 Arizona. A registration check revealed the car was registered to a private citizen, who soon activated his flashing lights and pulled the troopers over. When the (real) troopers approached the Charger, they found 44-year-old Matthew Allen Disbro of Mesa wearing a security uniform and a gun belt with a handgun, cuffs and pepper spray. The car also contained a siren box, police radio and a vest with a baton and knife. Disbro was arrested for impersonating an officer.

Hey, It’s Florida Indian River County (Florida) sheriff’s officers stopped Earle Stevens Jr., 69, on June 27 after another driver called 911, complaining that Stevens’ Mercury Grand Marquis kept tapping her bumper in a McDonald’s drive-thru lane. The officers noted “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath ... His speech was slurred and his eyes were red and glossy.” He also had an open bottle of Jim Beam bourbon in a brown paper bag on the passenger seat. Stevens, of Vero Beach, struggled to produce his ID and said he’s never had a valid Florida driver’s license, according to Treasure Coast Newspapers. He also explained he was not drinking while driving, only when he stopped for stop signs and traffic signals. After failing several field sobriety tests and a breath test, Stevens was charged with driving under the influence and driving without a license.
