Book of Mormon Musical: Church's Official Statement
In response to news media requests, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued the following statement regarding the Broadway musical entitled The Book of Mormon:

The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ. To better understand the context of how the Church responds to situations like this, journalists and others may also want to read a popular article on Newsroom posted in March 2009 called 'The Publicity Dilemma.'

Prohibition Gastropub open on North Monroe

Owners John and Jill Leonetti of Spokane opened Prohibition Gastropub at 1914 N Monroe back in late October. John, a Le Cordon Bleu trained Chef, says he has been perfecting his menu for years in anticipation of this opportunity. John says what sets Prohibition Gastropub apart is his hands-on approach to cooking. From making each bison or beef patty by hand with fresh coffee grounds (coffee grounds keep the burgers juicy) to crafting a chic pea burger with Sous Chef TJ Hansen for vegetarian and gluten free patrons. There is also a Happy Hour menu (4-7 daily).

Prohibition has a variety of events each month including First Friday Service Appreciation Night. All police/fire/military members with valid ID receive a free entree when an entree of equal or greater value is purchased. Prohibition also features a Scotch and Cigar night on Thursday evenings. Whiskey connoisseur, Brian Johnston, educates patrons on flights of whiskey, scotch, or bourbon to pair with cigars all offered on the heated patio.

John has a team of 8 which includes two individuals from Skils'kin working as prep cooks and bar backs. Skils'kin is an organization that supports individuals with disabilities to obtain and sustain jobs. John says one of the best moves he made was hiring two people from Skils'kin. Each day they are positive, eager to learn, and ready to work.

Prohibition Gastropub is open daily Monday-Saturday, 11am to 11pm, closed Tuesdays, and open Sundays from 10am to 10pm. Family friendly till 9pm. FInd them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Prohibition.Gastropub.Spokane1.
