Ririe-Woodbury Presents THREE

Ririe-Woodbury Presents THREE

Ririe-Woodbury Presents THREE, an evening of works by Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company’s 50th Anniversary Countdown Season continues with the much-anticipated THREE, December 13-15 at the Rose Wagner. With it’s intimate setting, the Black Box Theatre show has developed as the showcase of Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen’s cutting edge choreographic work. THREE marks the final full evening of works by Boye-Christensen as Artistic Director, who will depart the Company this spring.

The show will feature four of Boye-Christensen’s greatest works that span her tenure with Ririe-Woodbury, including “Interiors” (2008), “Lost” (2007), “The Finish Line” (2012) and “But Seriously…” (2011).

• “Interiors” is the brilliant collaboration with local artist Trent Call about the impulse we as urban humans have to add our mark, our understanding, and our own art to the natural world.

• “Lost” is inspired by the dynamic, angry, fragile, and restless paintings and poetry of four young Mexican artists raised in the US, but without legal rights. All of them former gang members.



The Finish Line

 • “The Finish Line” a stunning duet which premiered to acclaim earlier this year, is inspired by the ultimate run in life – the journey through a relationship.

• “But Seriously…” is Boye-Christensen’s successful collaboration with architect Nathan Webster, author David Kranes, and actor Ethan Phillips of Star Trek Voyager fame. The work explores the similarities between stand up comedians and dancers. Phillips’s comedy is woven into the dance, unraveling the inescapable truth that all performers are deeply vulnerable.

Former dancer Elizabeth Kelley-Wilberg, who left the company last spring, will return for THREE to dance in “But Seriously…”

THREE runs December 13-15 at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center at 7:30 pm with a 2:00 pm matinee on Saturday.

Council Gives Tentative Approval For 2013 SLCo Budget

Council Gives Tentative Approval
For 2013 Salt Lake County Budget

After three weeks of discussions, the Salt Lake County Council has given tentative approval to most of Mayor Peter Corroon’s 2013 budget proposal. Final adoption of the budget will follow a council public hearing the evening of Tuesday, December 11, 2012.

Included in the budget will be a 16.2% property tax increase designed in part to fund rehabilitation and renovation of aging county facilities and partial restoration of lost salary and benefits for county employees.

“We have five years of pent-up budget demand while we struggle to address multi-million dollar issues,” says Mayor Corroon. “This budget will address a structural financial deficit, lagging employee compensation, rising fuel and other utility costs, increasing service demands and a growing list of deferred capital maintenance needs.”

A dozen years ago in December, 2000, the outgoing County Commission approved a tax increase—the last countywide tax increase. At that time:
    • A gallon of gas cost $1.26
    • US Postage Stamps were 33 cents each
    • The average home price in SLCo was $156,000

In twelve years all those costs have risen significantly.

“We put off a tax increase during the height of the Great Recession. We absorbed our rising costs to off-set the impact on county taxpayers,” added Mayor Corroon. “We have waited as long as we responsibly could wait before requesting an increase.”

The 16.2% property tax increase applies only to the County portion of property taxes, about 3%, or $59 per year on a $238,000 home in Salt Lake County.

The tentative budget, if adopted in its present form, protects the County’s Triple-A bond rating, structurally balances the budget for the next four years and re-coups some employee compensation dating back to 2009.

SLCo Brings Green & Healthy Homes Initiative to Utah

Salt Lake County Brings
The Green & Healthy Homes
Initiative to Utah

Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon signed an agreement yesterday designed to boost Salt Lake’s efforts to make the county a leader in the green economy. By signing the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative™ (GHHI) Compact, the mayor formalized the county’s commitment to work toward the implementation of an integrated system to deliver healthy housing programs for vulnerable families and children in Salt Lake.

Families with young children in particular can benefit from the GHHI because children are especially vulnerable to health and safety hazards found in the home. Children have rapidly developing bodies that are more susceptible to the effects of environmental toxins. Families participating in the GHHI will learn how to create a safe and healthy home environment.

The GHHI includes an in-home assessment and energy audit. Based on this assessment, an intervention plan is created for the home. These interventions cover a broad range of issues and may include: mold remediation, weather-stripping, caulking to seal holes and air leakage, improving insulation, replacing air filters, lead hazard prevention, radon testing and mediation, and installation of smoke and CO alarms. These interventions will help lower utility bills as well as improve health, reducing health care costs associated with asthma, lead poisoning and other home-based health and safety hazards.

For households with a child or adult with asthma, the family will learn specific ways to reduce asthma triggers in the home. About 240,000 Utahns – 9% of adults and 7% of children – have asthma. “Every day, an average of 20 people in Utah have an asthma attack so severe they need treatment at a hospital,” said Kellie Baxter, Health Program Specialist for the Utah Department of Health Asthma Program.

Environmental triggers play an important part in asthma management, explains Michelle Hofmann, M.D., a pediatrician in Salt Lake. “Medical treatment alone is not sufficient to address the most severe cases of asthma,” said Hofmann. “The Green & Healthy Homes Initiative will help families recognize the importance of environment in asthma management and how to reduce asthma triggers in their home. This can prevent asthma symptoms and help reduce health care costs associated with asthma episodes.”

“We are grateful for Mayor Corroon’s leadership on GHHI in Salt Lake and throughout Utah,” said Ruth Ann Norton, executive director of the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative. “The GHHI platform is helping local communities across the country deliver integrated and collaborative health and housing services to low-income families that more efficiently and cost-effectively implements federally-funded programs,” continued Norton. “With GHHI, children are healthier, families have safer and more energy efficient homes - and lower utility bills - and health insurance costs decline due to fewer housing-related health issues.”

The signing of the GHHI compact marks the beginning stages to develop the program in Salt Lake County. Randy Jepperson, Manager of the Salt Lake County Housing Program, has been instrumental in bringing the program to Utah. “We are excited to bring this program to Salt Lake County and believe it will help improve housing and health for those who are most in need,” said Jepperson. “We are grateful for the support of Mayor Corroon and our partners who are making this ideal become a reality.”

Mayor Corroon was joined at the compact signing by representatives from the Salt Lake County Housing Program, University of Utah Department of Pediatrics, Utah Department of Health, Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity, Neighborworks Salt Lake, Valley Services, and Community Development Corporation of Utah.

The national GHHI effort is led by the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning in partnership with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Council on Foundations.

By making homes healthy, safe and energy efficient, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that GHHI’s first 3500 units will save more than $325 million in energy and health care costs and improve the quality of life for children and families. To date, the work in the current 17 GHHI sites has achieved 20 to 25% savings in home repair costs; annual energy cost reductions of $450 per household; significant reduction in children's hospital visits due to asthma; and improved school attendance and academic performance.

About the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative™

The Green & Healthy Homes Initiative™ (GHHI) works in collaboration with local and federal agencies, and philanthropic partners to align, braid, and coordinate funding and programs to create green, healthy, and safe homes in low-income communities nationwide.

Directed by the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning (Coalition), with support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Energy and national and local foundations GHHI replaces stand-alone programs with a comprehensive strategy to improve health, economic and social outcomes through an integrated housing intervention framework.

HCT 28th Annual "A Christmas Carol"

HCT 28th Annual "A Christmas Carol"
The Magic of Charles Dickens' Classic

Community Tradition Celebrates the Meaning of the Season with Original Musical Score and Script that is True to Dickens’ Intent.

Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah’s Premiere Family Theatre, will perform Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” for the 28th straight year December 8-22.

Dickens’ classic story from 1843 is a holiday tradition that HCT founders Ruth and Nathan Hale started in 1964 at the family’s Glendale, Calif., theatre. The Glendale version of “A Christmas Carol” was rewritten for its Salt Lake HCT debut in 1985 and has continued to evolve over the years to more accurately recount the classic tale.

“‘A Christmas Carol’ is not only a Hale Centre Theatre tradition, it’s a tradition for the entire community,” said Mark Dietlein, HCT executive producer. “We take great pride in presenting this revered piece in its purest form and in a manner consistent with Dickens’ writings and notes.”

Richard Wilkins, a former Brigham Young University professor and Dickens scholar, helped HCT weave actual text from the 1843 story into the script and narration. He has portrayed the antagonist-turned-protagonist Ebenezer Scrooge for the past 27 years.

Wilkins’ scripting, along with original scoring and carol arrangements by noted Utah composer Barlow Bradford, works with the elegant costumes and sets to create a magical holiday experience.

The production has been refined under different direction over the years. For the past eight years, director John Sweeney has challenged himself to add depth and detail to the production without losing the true message.

“Each year we share the Christmas spirit with the community and soften hearts with Dickens’ story of redemption,” Sweeney said. “This year we continue that tradition and hope our audience will be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.”

This year’s cast includes both new faces and familiar ones playing different roles than in years past.

HCT’s “A Christmas Carol” is directed by Sweeney and features Wilkins and David Weekes as Scrooge, David Stensrud and Stephen Kerr as Ghost of Christmas Present; Brad Charon and David Petersen as Bob Cratchit; Olivia Smith-Driggs and Anne Burton as Ghost of Christmas Past; and DRU and Anthony Lovato as Jacob Marley. The production’s musical director is Anne Puzey with choreography by Marilyn May Montgomery, set design by Kacey Udy, lighting design by Spencer Brown, sound by Dan Morgan and production assistance from Rachel Sanderson.

In conjunction with the production, HCT is honoring Spectrum Academy as part of its “HCT Applauds” program to spotlight other non-profit organizations making a difference in the community. Spectrum Academy is a unique charter school serving students from preschool through high school with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other learning disabilities. Much like the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future who visit Ebenezer Scrooge with tales tailored to change his heart, Spectrum Academy has developed strategies that will help students reach their full potential and enjoy productive and successful futures.

“A Christmas Carol” typically sells out, and early reservations are recommended. Performances are at 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, Dec. 8 through 22, with an additional evening performance each night at 5 p.m. Matinées run each Saturday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Admission prices start at $28 for adults and $18 for children ages 5-11. Tickets may be purchased online at www.halecentretheatre.org, via telephone at 801-984-9000, or at the Hale Centre Theatre box office, 3333 South Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, Utah.

SLCo Announces Pilot Pedestrian Flag Program

SLCo Announces
Pilot Pedestrian Flag Program

Orange pedestrian flags may be coming to a crosswalk near you if you live in Unincorporated Salt Lake County. Salt Lake County has started a Pilot Crosswalk Flag Program with the installation of flag holders and flags at four locations. The locations are:

       • 2300 East @ 3000 South
       • 2300 East @ Claybourne Ave (2780 South)
       • 3900 South @ 3100 East
       • 3900 South @ Birch Drive (3300 East)

This program recognizes the success, and has used as a model, the Crosswalk Flag Program of Salt Lake City. The County’s pilot program relies on a sponsor—school, PTA, business or individual—to adopt a crosswalk and ensure flags are available for pedestrians.

Salt Lake County Public Works Operations Division will coordinate the use of orange flags and holders for designated crosswalks. Prior to that, the Operations Division will follow an approval and implementation process that includes formal requests for flags, review of traffic and pedestrian counts and, if approved, flag holder installation and an initial supply of flags.

When new flags are needed, the sponsor can provide their own or get a new supply from the county for a predetermined cost. When a school sponsors a crosswalk, flag costs may be waived upon request.

For complete information on the County’s Pilot Crosswalk Flag Program, please call Salt Lake County Public Works Operations Division @ 385-468-6101.

Shift Your Spending Launches with Plaid Friday

Shift Your Spending Launches
with Plaid Friday

The Friday after Thanksgiving, which for years as been known as the biggest shopping day of the year, has taken on a life of its own. A life based around the goal of acquiring the most while spending the least. Black Friday is a day of the year dominated by price slashing, long lines and frenzied crowds.

This year, instead of fighting tooth and nail to take home the cheapest goods, Local First Utah encourages you Shift Your Spending, and bring home the items that have the greatest value by purchasing your holiday gifts in locally owned stores. Not only do local businesses offer a greater array of product diversity, but they offer attributes to our communities that cannot be replaced or mimicked by national retailers.

As Shift Your Spending Week launches, celebrate "Plaid Friday" instead of Black Friday. Sleep in, relax, wear plaid and make the choice to vote with your dollars this holiday season. Commit to shift at least 10% of your holiday spending with the Shift Your Spending Pledge. Purchase your gifts from local, independent businesses who are also participating in Shift Your Spending Week. Adorn your gifts with unique Local First Utah gift tags that are now available at participating businesses across the state.

Shift Your Spending and enjoy more of your holiday season.

Scottish-Themed Music to Highlight Utah Symphony Program

Scottish-Themed Music to Highlight
Utah Symphony Program

Just in time for the Scottish holiday, St. Andrew’s Day, the Utah Symphony and Music Director Thierry Fischer will explore the sounds of Scotland through French and German eyes in a concert featuring Felix Mendelssohn’s majestic Symphony No. 3.

This performance of Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony will mark the continuation of the orchestra’s season-long Mendelssohn Symphony cycle. In his U.S. orchestral debut, guest violinist Fumiaki Miura and the orchestra will also highlight traditional Scottish folk melodies as they pay tribute to Scotland’s rich heritage with Bruch’s “Scottish Fantasy,” November 30 (St. Andrew’s Day) and December 1 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. The program will also include Haydn’s Symphony No. 3 and Debussy’s “Scottish March.”

In 1829, the 20-year old Mendelssohn made his first trip to England which included a tour of Scotland. He attributed the initial idea for his “Scottish Symphony” to seeing the roofless ruins of the Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh, behind the castle where Mary Stuart once resided. Though he did not finish his masterpiece until 1842, the stunning visual beauty of Holyrood that inspired him years before can still be heard.

Bruch’s “Scottish Fantasy” was completed in 1880 and pays homage to the vibrant and rousing Scottish tradition with variations on several traditional bagpiper folk melodies, including “Through the Wood Laddie,” “The Dusty Miller,” “I’m A’ Doun for Lack O’ Johnnie,” and “Hey Tuttie Tatie.”

St. Andrew’s Day is celebrated by Scots all over world. It is a national holiday in Scotland, dedicated to the patron saint who brought Christianity to their beloved nation.

Fischer and Corbin Johnston, Utah Symphony Associate Principal Bass, will present a free pre-concert chat each night, one hour prior to the start of the performance on the orchestra level of Abravanel Hall.

Tickets for the performances can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

About Fumiaki Miura
Fumiaki Miura, the First Prize Winner of the International Joseph Joachim Violin-Competition (Hannover 2009), was born in Japan in 1993, and comes from a musical family. His father is a concertmaster and his sister is studying the piano. Miura began to play the violin at the age of three. In 2008 he was admitted to the Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo as one of the most promising future talents and until recently he studied there with Tsugio Tokunaga. Since the beginning of the 2009/10 winter semester, he continues his studies at the Vienna Conservatory with Prof. Pavel Vernikov. He regularly attends master classes for example with Pavel Vernikov, Jean-Jacques Kantrow and Zakhar Bron.

He has already performed with many orchestras including the NDR Radiophilharmonie, Polish Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, Vienna Chamber Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Philharmonic, Ensemble Kanazawa, Osaka Philharmonic, Sapporo Symphony Orchestra and the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra.

In the season 2012-13 Miura will give his debut with NDR Sinfonieorchester Hamburg, at Konzerthaus Vienna with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and also his first appearance in the US with the Utah Symphony. A particular highlight of the current season will be the Polish premiere of Penderecki’s Concerto for Viola and Violin in November 2012 with Julian Rachlin and Poznan Philharmonic.

Miura did not only win the First Prize of the Hannover Violin-Competition – he also won the Music Critics’ Prize and the Audience Prize of the 2009 competition and is therefore not only the youngest Winner in the history of the Competition, but also the one with the most prizes.

In both 2003 and 2004 – as an elementary student –Miura won Second Prizes in the All Japan Students’ Music Competition. In 2006, he was awarded the Second Prize at the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition for Young Violinists.

   Coordinator (focused primarily on bicycle issues)
• Initiated the County Connectivity Project in 2012 to integrate
   county bike facilities with existing city routes creating a seamless
   system through local governments boundaries Initiated the Bicycle
   Transportation Implementation Plan, an engineering guide and
   tool for implementing bicycle infrastructure, signs and issues
   relating to cycling in our canyons

The official role of the board is to review and offer input on any and all bicycle-related proposals and projects for Salt Lake County. Representatives from key county departments (parks and recreation, planning and development, engineering, police) supply legal and expert advice to the committee. SLCBAC meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. at the Salt Lake County Government Center, 2100 S State Street.

Salt Lake City Offers Cleanup Help After Weekend Storm

City Offers Cleanup Help
After Weekend Storm

Residents have until end of weekend to pile branches, limbs for pickup.

Following a weekend of heavy snowfall and unexpectedly severe storm activity, many Salt Lake City neighborhoods experienced widespread tree damage and downed limbs and branches.

In an effort to help residents handle cleanup duties, the City’s Public Services Department will be conducting citywide curbside pickup of private property, storm-related tree debris beginning on Monday, Nov. 19 and running through Wednesday, Nov. 21. By beginning the free pickup service next week, City officials are hoping residents will have ample time to gather debris and move it curbside.

Only tree debris will be picked up and must be placed no later than the evening of Sunday, Nov. 18. Debris must be piled in a manner that does not create a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists or drivers. The City also encourages residents to check their communities for downed limbs and help out neighbors who may need assistance.

Residents are asked to report any hazards related to storm damage to the Parks and Public Lands Division at 801-972-7800.

50-Inch Storm Kicks Off Snowbird Season

Snowbird snow cat preparing the mountain for opening

50-Inch Storm Kicks Off Snowbird Season

The storm that left one to two feet of snow in Salt Lake City deposited 50 inches of snow at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort between Friday and Sunday, allowing the resort to open early, on Thursday, Nov. 15.

"This is the storm we needed to get the season started off right," said Bob Bonar, President of Snowbird. "Lake effect made a good storm into a great storm leaving more than four feet of snow throughout the mountain."

The resort installed new snowmaking equipment over the summer, doubling its snowmaking capacity and allowing more terrain to open earlier in the season. Snowbird also updated the Little Cloud chairlift to a high speed detachable quad. The new lift will have its grand opening with a celebration on Dec. 1.

Gadzoom, Mid-Gad and Chickadee chairlifts will be open on Thursday. Beginner terrain will be available on Chickadee. Intermediate and Advanced terrain will be available on Bassackwards and Big Emma. The Aerial Tram is scheduled to open with skiing on Regulator Johnson on Saturday, Nov. 17, conditions permitting. The remainder of the mountain will be closed to all guests, including hikers.
