For information, visit parkcityinstitute.org. www.parkrecord.com Park City Institute will present the legendary reporter Sunday SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Bob Woodward says the Trump administration is like nothing he has seen in his career spanning nine presidencies – which began with Richard Nixon. “He’s very impulsive,” Woodward said of President Donald Trump. “ He … is way too often making decisions not based on fact. When policies come from untruths, we start going down a perilous course, and to be direct, I think we have a governing crisis. ” One of the things I’ve found in 47 years of reporting for the Post is that each president I’ve written about has had more and more power...” Bob Woodward, Pulizter Prize-winning journalist Woodward, known for his work with Carl Bernstein in revealing Nixon’s coverup of his involvement in the Watergate break-in will give his perspective on the Trump administration and talk about his most recent presidential account – “Fear: Trump in the White House” – at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Eccles Center for the Performing MEGAMIND PUBQUIZ AT FLANAGAN’S MegaMind PubQuiz competitions will run from 7-9 p.m. every Wednesday at Flanagan’s, 438 Main St. For information, visit facebook.com/megaMIND.pubQUIZ. C-1 SAT/SUN/MON/TUES, DECEMBER 15-18, 2018 Arts. In a reversal of roles, he’ll be the one answering the public’s questions during a Q&A session. “I’m interested in what people want to ask,” Woodward said. “I have found in doing these appearances that people ask mostly about Trump and ‘Fear,’ but people will also ask about Nixon and Carter or the Bushes.” When preparing to write “Fear,” Woodward, a Pulitzer Prize winner, knew he had to approach the narrative in a different way than he did with Nixon – news cycles turned much more slowly and Twitter didn’t exist in the 1970s. “People would say to me, ‘How can you write a book?’ or ‘Just look what he did today or last week,’” Woodward said. “So I stopped following what he was doing that day or week. I went back to in-depth reporting on exactly how we got to where we are.” One reason Trump intrigues Woodward is because of how he approaches his presidency differently. In the journalist’s view, Trump’s predecessors viewed the job as one to serve all Americans, whereas Trump views it as the prize for winning an election and as a way to reward those who support him. “Having done this for so many decades, I have thought about what the job of the president is, and the job is, in my view, is to figure out what the next stage of good is for a majority of people – not an interest group, a base or one party – in the country,” Woodward said. “I think it’s fair that Trump viewed the presidency as a trophy to be won.” The amount of scandal Trump has immersed himself in throughout his career has had a counterintuitive effect on his presidency, Woodward said.

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH THE CELTS, C-5 Bob Woodward to talk ‘Fear’ in Park City SCOTT IWASAKI DOLLY’S BOOKSTORE WILL HOST KATIE MULLALY LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS WILL GET BRANDED, C-2 Right now, Ava Hoekstra is somewhere over the rainbow. The 13-year-old Treasure Mountain Junior High student is the sole understudy to Lexi Walker in the starring role of Dorothy Gale in thee Hale Centre Theatre’s production of “Wizard of Oz” that currently runs through Saturday, Feb. 2, in Sandy. An understudy – a substitute actor who learns the role, lines, songs and blocking necessary to fill in if the main actor isn’t present – usually takes on a less prominent role than Hoekstra’s current situation demands. But the Parkite is set to play an outsized role as Walker, 16, is a star in her own right, rising to prominence on YouTube and scoring recording deals. “This time, things were a little different,” Hoekstra’s mother, Kristy, said. “Because the performance schedule for ‘Wizard of Oz’ is so long, Lexi will perform eight shows a week, and Ava will perform five.” Mark Dietlin, executive producer and CEO of the Hale Centre, made the magnitude of this understudy position clear when Hoekstra and other auditioners were called back after their first shot. “He said we would perform three to five shows a week as understudies, and that was the only conversation we had regarding the performances,” Hoekstra said. “I really don’t consider this an understudy role. It’s more like a second casting.” Walker’s understudy has nothing but positive things to say about the star, who has performed with Kristen Chenoweth, The Piano Guys and Lindsey Stirling in her musical career. “She is so amazing to work with,” Hoekstra said. “She is so talented, and it’s an honor to work with her.” While Hoekstra and Walker haven’t talked about their respective interpretations of Dorothy, they have learned a lot from each other. “I learn from her with singing, because she has more experience as a singer,” said Hoekstra, who just released a cover of Sia’s “Snowman” on her own YouTube channel. “I think she plays off of me acting-wise because I’ve been acting since I was 10.” Hoekstra’s acting experience has helped her tap into Dorothy’s characterPlease see Hoekstra, C-3 COURTESY OF HALE CENTRE THEATRE Ava Hoekstra, a Treasure Mountain Junior High student, portrays Dorothy in Hale Center Theatre’s “The Wizard of Oz.” Hoekstra is the understudy to Lexi Walker.
