Who's the Sandy library City Weekly thief?

Stephen Dark

As a patron of Sandy library and a City Weekly staff writer I usually glance at the free pub rack when I go into the library in search of a foreign novel or to pick up a few more episodes of The Wire, which I've finally gotten into. There's something reassuring to a writer's fragile ego about seeing your work on public display. But the last six weeks or so I've noticed that CW's spot is conspicuously lacking in papers.

E-cigarettes unlikely to be banned

Jesse Fruhwirth

I suppose it's easy to believe that a Utah lawmaker is trying to play nanny and take away your flavored nicotine-mist inhaler/ vaporizer/ atomizer e-cigarette thingies.

Not to worry. The panic that Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, has hijacked the smokeless cigarette regulation effort this session may be, well, just smoke.

Salt Lake City Without Parades?

Austen Diamond

Six Locals' mission is to survey a random-sampling of downtown's inhabitants on a pertinent topic. Extract what you will from this petri dish.


City Weekly's News story "Float On" (Feb. 4) informed how the Hibernian Society of Utah, amidst a dwindling budget, is trying to save the St. Patrick's Day parade with a fundraiser. We at CW wanted to know what the pulse on the street was regarding art organizations and free expression festivals.

Hatch: soldiers belong in the closet, or do they?

Jesse Fruhwirth

Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch is saying today that his comments yesterday on MSNBC, which seemed to some to be very critical of the military's Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell ban on gays in the military, were misunderstood.

He didn't say explicitly that he would vote to remove the policy, but I'm shocked--SHOCKED--that Hatch is shocked--SHOCKED--that people got that idea from the following comments.

Hatch reminds me a lot of my father, so let me try to translate sentence by sentence for you all.

Keep your kids out of the liquor store

Stephen Dark

I was in a DABC store a few days ago buying wine with my children, aged 7 and 9. My eldest happily pushed the cart around as I loaded it up with Argentine wines.

Update: Refinery fires safety managers after massive explosion

Jesse Fruhwirth

Woods Cross's Silver Eagle Refinery's impressively devastating explosion in November--which damaged dozens if not hundreds of nearby homes--was featured in this week's City Weekly cover story, Utah's Unstable Oil Refineries, which I wrote. At one point during the investigation, I found myself running in circles with that refinery's new Vice President of Refining and Operations Michael Redd, as I asked him about the refinery's new efforts on safety. He wrote me today saying he's "been reminded by several people" that he wasn't able to provide me any names or even titles of--much less access to interview--the refinery employees who are experts on safety regulations. Redd had promised to get back to me on that, but did not by press time.
