Groundbreaking Ceremony for Millcreek Community Center

SLCo Breaks Ground
on Millcreek
Community Center



A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Millcreek Community Center will take place at 12 p.m. on July 21, 2010. Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon and other county officials will share remarks.

When completed, the center will house a state-of-the-art recreation facility, library and senior center. The Millcreek Community Center is expected to open in early 2012, and was designed with considerable input from the community. Some features include:
      · An expanded library, nearly double the size of the old library
      · State-of-the-Art senior center
      · A high-school-size gymnasium with built-in seating
      · Larger fitness and weight rooms
      · An indoor running track
      · A reconfigured park, with a refurbished pumpkin, new pavilion,
        playgrounds and trees
      · A café for all patrons
      · More efficient parking with more stalls
      · Solar panels, a geo-thermal heating system, and energy
        efficient systems and equipment

The impetus for this center came from within the Millcreek Township community. This will be the first time county three agencies – Parks and Recreation, Aging Services and Library Services – have teamed up for such a facility.

The center’s construction budget is just over $18 million. About $1 million will be provided by the voter-approved Zoo, Arts and Parks program, and the remainder by County bonds. The County’s Triple-A bond rating provides the lowest borrowing rate available to public agencies.

The building will have a variety of energy-saving features, in accordance with Mayor Peter Corroon’s commitment to have all new facilities built to a LEED Gold standard. This standard is set by the United States Green Building Council to produce buildings that are environmentally and energy sustainable. These attributes will reduce the overall operating costs of the building, as well as aid in minimizing maintenance efforts while prolonging the useful life of the building.

Event: Millcreek Community Center Groundbreaking
Who: Mayor Corroon, County officials, Millcreek Township community
Date: Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Time: 12 noon
Where: 2230 East Evergreen Avenue (3435 South)
Parking: Available at church North of the site.

SL County Bills Chevron

SLCo Bills Chevron
for Oil Spill Services



Salt Lake County has sent Chevron Oil a bill for $53,491.31 to pay for county services following the oil spill in Salt Lake City’s Red Butte Creek.

“We appreciate Chevron’s cooperative spirit to date,” says Mayor Peter Corroon. “And we applaud efforts by all the volunteers who answered the call.”

“This re-imbursement represents what the county spent through June 24th,” says Jeff Graviet, Salt Lake County Emergency Coordinator. “We expect additional costs from Animal Services and the Health Department.”

The itemized costs include:
      · SLCo Animal Services
               $24,682.66
      · SLCo Public Works
               $8,213.56
      · Salt Lake Valley Health Dept.
               $20,595.09

Animal Services continues to care for some of the birds affected by the oil spill and the SLVHD’s Environmental Division will also have further expenses related to its ongoing air quality monitoring.

SLVHD: The Health Department was one of the first responders on the scene. Staff evaluated the extent of the spill, place booms to prevent the spread. SLVHD requested the initial air monitoring and continues to coordinate with Salt Lake City and its consultants on responding to residence concerns and complaints.

Public Works: The Salt Lake County Engineering Division worked with the Utah Division of Water Quality in the water quality sampling effort used to determine and evaluate the levels of hazardous compounds resulting from the oil spill in Red Butte Creek. Public Works Operations Division delivered sandbags on the first day of the spill.

Animal Services: Salt Lake County Animal Services was also one of the first responders at Liberty Park and then to various locations where oil affected animals were appearing. Initially we transported birds to the Zoo for decontamination and then on Monday June 14th Animal Services took over decontamination and care responsibilities for incoming birds.

Exhibition of Photographs by Jonah Wright

Will Work For Light

An Exhibition of Photographs by Jonah Wright

Jonah Wright’s work pays homage to the beauty and solitude of the night. Will Work For Light includes twenty-nine photographic prints taken in the late hours of artificial lighting of the city’s nightscape. The majority of the prints feature light writing, a process that included his camera, tripod, a big flashlight, twenty to thirty second exposures, trial and error, and what the artist describes as “a good workout in all the running back and forth from the camera to write with light in the scene.” Currently featured in the Auraria Library gallery, the exhibit will continue through July 31. Available for viewing during regular library hours, the exhibit is free and open to the public.

Jonah Wright, one of Salt Lake City's own, is currently studying art and photography in Denver, Colorado.

Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus at UMFA

Painting Utah’s
Mount Olympus
On view through
November 14, 2010






David Meikle, Evening Light, 2003, oil on canvas, private collection.

While not the tallest mountain in the Wasatch Range, Mount Olympus stands today as a familiar and inspiring natural wonder unique to Utah. In the current exhibition, Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus, on view in the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) G.W. Anderson Family Great Hall through November 14, 2010, visitors will encounter large, breathtaking paintings by premier Utah artists, all of whom aim to capture the sublime beauty of our local icon: Mount Olympus.

Organized by Donna Poulton, UMFA Associate Curator of Utah and Western Art, Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus comprises works from esteemed private collections in the local area. The featured paintings span roughly 150 years and were created by such artists as Lee Greene Richards, Gilbert Munger, Edwin Deaken, and David Meikle.

These painters followed in the footsteps of the early Utah pioneers who bestowed Mount Olympus with the Greek name for “home of the gods.” When Brigham Young and his followers settled in the security of the mountain’s shadow, they recognized Olympus as a crucial source of necessary minerals, abundant timbers for building, and precious water in a dry land. However, it was when these pioneers traded their picks and plows for pencils and paintbrushes that the true majesty of Mount Olympus came to light. The mountain was then, as it remains today, a source of undeniable artistic inspiration.

Artists were not the only residents who held, and continue to hold, a deep admiration for the silent sentinel. Throughout time, the awesome grandeur of Olympus’s peak has inspired authors, hikers, geologists, climbers, and adventurers from all walks of life. Many of these Olympus aficionados have shared their thoughts and experiences on a collective, public register located at the mountain’s summit.

As part of the Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus exhibition, the UMFA has compiled a short video to serve as a visual register of local residents’ responses to Mount Olympus, whether or not they have actually climbed it. Looping on a screen next to the large paintings in the Great Hall, this video features the commentary of an award-winning poet who was inspired by the beautiful butte; a former University of Utah student who wrote his thesis on experiencing the mountain through the eyes of an artist; and Caine Alder, a gentleman in his mid-seventies who has climbed Mount Olympus over 425 times in the last fifty years.

The UMFA is delighted to celebrate one of our local natural wonders in Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus, an exhibition generously sponsored by the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies and Mount Olympus Waters, Inc.

Toby Tolokan Joins Utah Symphony as VP of Artistic Planning

The Utah Symphony
Announces
New Vice President
of Artistic Planning





The Utah Symphony has appointed Anthony “Toby" Tolokan as the new Vice President of Symphony Artistic Planning effective immediately. Currently, the Director of Artistic Planning for Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO), Tolokan leaves his position after nine years of dedicated service. Tolokan will fill the position previously held by Jeff Counts.

"I am very excited by the prospect of working with Toby, and very much look forward to collaborating with someone with his level of knowledge and experience. The Utah Symphony will benefit greatly from his expertise and from his eagerness to embrace challenges in such an open-minded way,” said Thierry Fischer, Music Director of the Utah Symphony.

“With his expertise in the orchestral world, Toby will be a great asset to our organization. He is highly respected by agents and artists and is an incredible leader in the field,” said Melia Tourangeau, President and CEO of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera.

During his tenure with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Tolokan was instrumental in bringing numerous world-class artists and repertoire to Hilbert Circle Theatre audiences, and in collaboration with former Music Director Mario Venzago and numerous guest conductors, programmed nearly 100 first-ever ISO performances of classical symphonic works including Shostakovich’s Fourth and Bruckner’s Eighth Symphonies. He also contracted and programmed several world premiere commissions from composers including Claude Baker, Dr. David Baker, James Beckel, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Jennifer Higdon.

Since his arrival in January 2002 from Seattle Symphony, Toby has invited over 70 world-renowned artists for their ISO debuts, among them violinists Hilary Hahn and Vadim Gluzman; pianists Lang Lang and Yuja Wang; cellists Truls Mørk and Daniel Mueller-Schott. Toby has also invited many internationally-recognized conductors to lead the ISO in debut performances such as Rudolf Barsha, Stéphane Denève, Thierry Fischer, Juanjo Mena, Vasily Petrenko, Carlo Rizzi, Vassily Sinaisky and Krzysztof Urbanski. Recently-appointed Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Yannick Nézét-Séguin made his ISO debut in 2006 under Toby’s invitation.

Prior to joining ISO, Toby served as the Artistic Administrator for Seattle Symphony Orchestra (1995-2002) and Orchestra Manager for Hartford Symphony Orchestra (1985-1995). Toby received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music from the University of Connecticut with emphasis in violin and orchestra conducting studies.

It’s a party at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) and the whole family is invited! On July 17 from 1-4 pm, the UMFA will present Artful Afternoon in the Marcia and John Price Museum Building at the University of Utah. This special program for families is devoted to art, creativity, culture, and fun. Free and open to the public, this summer’s Artful Afternoon will be presented in conjunction with the current Las Artes de México exhibition.

The UMFA’s July 2010 Artful Afternoon will feature a variety of exciting activities, games, and live performances inspired by Mexican art and culture. The Mexican dance groups Ichantzinco Tlaloc and Danza Chinelos will entertain audiences with advanced footwork and rhythm, and the music groups Mariachi Real Jaliciense and Marimba Casa Chiapas will play fun Mexican music throughout the event. Families can attend a Náhuatl poetry reading, watch children’s television programs in Spanish, meet KUED Vme characters Maya and Miguel, and even touch millipedes, cockroaches, stink bugs, and other Mexican insects in the Utah Museum of Natural History Bug Brigade. Other Artful Afternoon events include puppet activities with Discovery Gateway, carnival games, and loteria (Mexican bingo).

At Artful Afternoon, kids and their parents will have many opportunities to make and learn about art. Families can create their own colorful sidewalk murals at a chalk drawing station, make their own puppet masks using art supplies, and embark on an art treasure hunt through Las Artes de Mexico and other galleries throughout the Museum.

The UMFA’s July 2010 Artful Afternoon is inspired by the current exhibition, Las Artes de México, on view through September 26, 2010. Las Artes de México explores the richness of Mexican art and culture, from the ancient work of the Mayans and Aztecs through the twentieth century. The exhibition includes a broad array of artifacts such as woven fabrics, masks, and religious objects from Mesoamerica (pre-Conquest Mexico), as well as paintings by modernist masters like Rufino Tamayo, Jose Clemente Orozco, and Diego Rivera.

SLCO Boards & Commissions

Salt Lake County
Board & Commission

Information

Now Online


Salt Lake County has unveiled a new Web page designed to provide easier access to information about the county’s numerous Boards and Commissions. Salt Lake County has 102 different boards and commissions, with 1,600 members.

Boards and Commissions provide input and guidance to county leaders on a variety of subjects, from aging to zoning. Nearly all members are volunteers, and the new page gives the public a new tool to learn about the boards and commissions and apply to serve.

Sheryl Ivey, Board Coordinator for Mayor Peter Corroon, has worked for the last year with Salt Lake City-based SIRE Technologies, Inc., to create an easy-to-update board database. It enables access via the new page to the most current information about each board and commission. On the new page, located at www.boards.slco.org, visitors can search a full listing of all boards and commissions, and find information including:

      · A description of the board’s purpose
      · Current members
      · Meeting time and location
      · Liaison contact information
      · Legislation that created the board

The new database and page enable the Mayor’s office to update board and commission information daily, an important feature given the frequency of new board and commission appointments: typically there are from 20 to 40 changes each week. The database will also allow for better tracking of the geographical, gender and ethnic diversity of board appointees.

Ivey says the new page is a vast improvement, especially for citizen involvement in boards. “Before we created this page, we had an application available online, but no simple way for the public to learn about the different boards and what they do,” Ivey says. “This will make the application process so much easier, and hopefully, involve a broader spectrum of people in boards.”

Spy Hop at The State Room

Spy Hop

@

The State Room

with Shannon Whitworth, Club Country & Joel Brown

Friday, July 16, 2010

Spy Hop Productions and The State Room present North Carolina's Shannon Whitworth. Over the past several years, Shannon Whitworth's impact in the world of Americana music has created lofty expectations by fans nationwide. As a founding member of the acclaimed acoustic quartet The Biscuit Burners, Shannon received national praise for her definitive songwriting and captivating voice.

Opening for Shannon will be Cub Country and Spy Hop Records' own Joel Brown. Cub Country is a rock band that revolves around singer/songwriter Jeremy Chatelain. Since 1999, Chatelain has penned songs about his time in Brooklyn, North Carolina, Seattle and Salt Lake City. These songwriting elements are mixed with a dose of rootsy rock and roll and topped with Chatelain's soothing, easy voice. The band has recently released a new LP, "Stretch That Skull Cover and Smile."

At only 21 years old, Joel Brown is a dynamic emerging singer/songwriter recently signed to the Spy Hop Records label. His music is inviting and personal, with a powerful voice that causes even the most stoic and indifferent listeners to lend an ear. Joel is constantly evolving and his new record is a progression away from his poppy roots.

Proceeds from the evening's show will benefit Spy Hop's innovative youth media arts programs in film, music, and digital design.

With her debut solo release, Shannon reminds us that innocence has No Exceptions. Pure, strong, and heartfelt, she catches the ears and touches the hearts of even the most unsuspecting bystander.

"Her vocals are some of the most expressive, and sultry, that I've ever heard." - David Royko, Chicago Tribune

"An interesting and sporadically brilliant musician, with a smoky singing voice that reminds me of a grittier Neko Case or a harder Patsy Cline." - Seth Wilson, The Pulse, Chattanooga.

"Shannon Whitworth's fluid voice rolls lazily over her lyrics; contemporary, bluesy, rooted in traditional but bearing a feel of Billie Holiday" - Carol Mallett Rifkin, Asheville Citizen Times
