FROM THE EDITOR I was out of the office at the time, but a few weeks back, my editor took a call from a woman who was displeased with the efforts of Cache Magazine film critic Aaron Peck. She mentioned that she rarely agreed with Aaron’s movie reviews, but what had apparently sent her over the edge was his evaluation of “Saving Mr. Banks.” Aaron ended up giving the film about the making of “Mary Poppins” just a half star and wrote that it was “possibly one of the worst movies 2013 has
to offer” — a review the woman clearly didn’t agree with. I have to admit, at the time, I was rather surprised by the half star, myself. But I also felt like Aaron did a good job of explaining why he would give such low marks to a highly anticipated film featuring decorated actors like Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. But the fact is, while “Saving Mr. Banks” garnered a lot of good reviews, it has also been slammed by numerous critics, many of whom have questioned the film’s lack of historical integrity. Therefore, I like the idea that Aaron went out on a bit of a limb with his review at the time, and didn’t just give it three stars because it had has Tom Hanks playing
the role of Walt Disney. To be honest, with the internet, it would be easy these days for a young critic to read numerous reviews of a film before writing his or her own critique and just go with the popular vote. In my eyes, when it comes to movie reviews it’s important to continually read what a critic writes and decide how it does or doesn’t agree with your personal evaluation. Over time, you’ll learn how your tastes and the reviewer’s likes and dislikes may differ. Then, even if a review slams a new movie, you can take that evaluation with a grain of salt. Or, if you prefer, a spoonful of sugar.

Aiming for entertainment
Canadian gets play into SLC festival By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
As a comedian/actor/ writer/poet in the year 2014, Hayley Simpson has a Facebook page, a Twitter account and her own YouTube channel to try and help her break into the entertainment industry. She also has a mom. “Hayley brings the humor of Tina Fey, the gayness of Ellen DeGeneres, and the awkwardness of a fat hamster stuck in a toilet-paper roll, and includes the audience in a journey that makes them question their own choices in life. But what do I know? I’m just her mother,” Karen Russell says in a canned quote found in Simpson’s press kit. When asked about this, however, Simpson smiles and then admits, “I took some liberties with her quote.” “She pretty much said, ‘What would I know? I’m her mother,’ and then I just elaborated a little bit. But she did say I was like a hamster in a tube once, which was pretty funny. “My mom is really funny, but like mom funny.” Simpson, clearly, aspires to be more than “mom
Simpson and Dickson planned to get married on Jan. 12 in Los Angeles, but when same-sex marriage was suddenly legalized in Utah in late 2013, the couple got their license and ended up tying the knot at First Dam on Dec. 30. “The whole thing was a surprise,” Simpson says. “It was insane. … But we’re still going to L.A. because the tickets are non-refundable.” Before stopping off in Cache Valley, Simpson was actually on her way to California. Shortly after completing numerous entertainment and comedy courses at Humber College in Toronto, she embarked on a U.S. tour by herself. Hitting open mic nights at various comedy clubs, Simpson started out by performing 20 shows in New York City before heading west. But once she hit Utah, she decided to stay and cancelled some additional opportunities in the L.A. area. Since then she’s done a few sets at clubs around Salt Lake City, while also performing occasionally at Photo courtesy of Hayley Simpson Logan Out Loud, the improv A native of Ontario, Canada, Hayley Simpson is trying to break comedy group that does into the entertainment industry while living in Logan. shows at Death Ray Comics.

all mixed up Fry Street Quartet to perform at USU Utah State University’s Department of Music presents the Fry Street Quartet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the USU Performance Hall. The concert is a repeat of the same program the quartet will perform as part of the NOVA series on Sunday, Jan. 12, at the University of Utah’s Libby Gardner Hall in Salt Lake City. NOVA co-sponsored the commissioned work by Michael Ellison that is featured on the program. Ellison’s “String Quartet No. 3” (“Fiddlin”) was written for the Fry Street Quartet in 2012. The Jan. 14 Photo by Mary Kay Gaydos concert is the Logan premiere of The Fry Street Quartet will play at 7 p.m. the work. Tuesday, Jan. 11, at the USU Performance Hall. Ellison based the piece on the idea
of fiddling and riffs across traditions, primarily using North American bluegrass fiddle and Turkish/Balkan kemençe styles as starting points for a work that deals with tradition, its endlessly revitalizing energy and its integration into a contemporary, highly “rhythmic” compositional language. “The piece is very exciting and effective in its amalgamation of fiddling riffs across traditions, resulting in a kind of global folk music,” said Rebecca McFaul, violinist for the Fry Street Quartet and professor at the Caine College of the Arts at USU. “Some of this music is abstract and contemporary, and some of it is recognizably tra-
ditional.” “Fiddlin” is in 11 movements that gain in length and development as the piece continues, and finishes with a movement entitled “Bad Bad Blues.” “The Fry Street Quartet is thrilled to have this new work in its repertoire, and we’ve very much enjoyed working with Michael,” McFaul said. The program finishes with a jewel of the chamber music repertoire, Dvorak’s “Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81,” which will be performed with pianist Jason Hardink, artistic director of the NOVA Chamber Music Series and principal symphony keyboard of the Utah Symphony.
Up for a Grammy USU professor part of Chuck Owens’ award-nominated project, ‘River Runs’ Corey Christiansen, director of guitar studies in the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University, is part of the Grammy-nominated recording “River Runs.” The record was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Chuck Owens, and features Christiansen on all textural guitar parts, including nylon, string, steel string, 12-string and resonator/Dobro. “We are very proud of Corey’s spectacular honor and achievement,” said Craig Jessop, dean of the CCA. “It doesn’t get any bigger in the music business than the Grammys.” “River Runs” is a nominated for “Best Instrumental Composition” and “Best Instrumental Arrangement.” Christiansen has worked with Owens for years, and feels this recording is Owens’ crowning career achievement to date. Much of the album was funded by an award from the Guggenheim Foundation. “The album contains epic writing,

UP ‘Two Woman Show’ to open COMING MLK Celebration tonight
By Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer
With all the talk about fact-based films and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting that some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as possible. This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. War is messy, and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible. And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right. “Lone Survivor” doesn’t have nearly the sweep of a major war film like Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.” But the action scenes — basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight — feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time. That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place on June 28, 2005 in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province. As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a

NEW YORK (AP) — On a wintry weekend, Disney’s “Frozen” retook the box-office top spot with $20.7 million, freezing out the horror spinoff “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.” Paramount’s “The Marked Ones” debuted in second place with $18.2 million, a total that includes Thursday night screenings, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film is a standalone story spun off from the lucrative, low-budget horror franchise “Paranormal Activity,” the fifth of which will be released in October. But it wasn’t able to overcome Disney’s animated “Frozen,” which has been a hit for family audiences for the last seven weeks. It has now surpassed $600 million worldwide, making it the second highest grossing Disney Animation release, behind “The Lion King.” It will soon pass that film’s $312 million

domestic haul, too. It’s extremely rare for a film to lead the box office in its seventh weekend, a feat accomplished by the likes of “Avatar” and, to go further back, “Legends of the Fall.” It’s rarer still for a film to retake the box-office lead so late in its theatrical run. The last movie to do so was Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” in 2004, according to box-office tracker Rentrak. Another hold-over, Warner Bros.’ “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” came in third with $16.3 million in its fourth week of release after narrowly topping the busy Christmas weekend box office. Like “Frozen,” Peter Jackson’s second installment of his “Hobbit” trilogy has benefited from the lengthy holiday moviegoing season. Its domestic cumulative total is $229.6 million.

Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for a Golden Globe for performance in the Spike Jonze film, “Her.”
★★★★ ‘Her’ Director // Spike Jonze Starring // Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Chris Pratt, Olivia Wilde Rated // R for language, sexual content and brief graphic nudity
The Reel Place Aaron Peck
It’s so nice to see a futuristic film that doesn’t depict some sort of tyrannical dystopian society. Instead, “Her” is more concerned about the immediate future. A future where artificial intelligence interacts with humans on a daily basis. A world where a computer operating system can learn and grow by interacting with its user. It’s a believable future. One that seems like it could come to pass sooner, rather than later. Perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to relate to. Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) is lonely. He’s recently divorced, introverted, and doesn’t get out much. He spends time at home playing video games and visiting with others in hook-up chat rooms, desperate to find any sort of connection. Theodore purchases a new artificially intelligent operating system which runs on his phone, his home computer, everywhere. Completely customizable, Theodore creates a female-sounding OS — a lonely man looking for any type of connection with the opposite sex, no matter if it’s real or fabricated. After installation, his new OS comes online. Her name is Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). What follows is one of the most touching, affecting love stories you’ll ever see. Director/writer Spike Jonze has crafted a beautifully poetic story about love, acceptance and the human condition. Here we watch as Theodore and Samantha court and fall in love. Never does it feel weird or out of place. We under-
stand Theodore’s need for an emotional connection after his rough divorce. We believe that Samantha is more than just lines of code. She’s an intelligent, thoughtprovoking entity. One
that falls just as madly in love with Theodore as he does with her. Speaking of Samantha, Action! 2297 N. Main MOVIE HOTLINE 753-6444 WWW.WALKERCINEMAS.NET ALL SEATS ALL TIMES $3.00 OpEN SuN-FRI AT 3:45 pM OpEN SAT AT 11:30 AM FOR OuR MATINEES

Even more amazing is the way Jonze has the future handle the fact that some people are falling for their operating systems. There isn’t a stream of ridicule from those on the outside; simply acceptance that some people love in different ways.

hen musician Daniel Edwards returned to Cache Valley for the holidays, he was eager to show people what he’d been up to the last few years — expanding his knowledge of music in higher education. Although he originally tried out other majors, none of them seemed to fit. But after an LDS mission, Edwards realized that music was what he was meant to do and says the decision to go into music was a “natural one” for him. “Music has always been an outlet for me,” Edwards says. “I guess the common thing among (most) musicians, is that a lot of them have a rough time relating to people — a little bit socially awkward. And I was especially socially awkward. I wasn’t interested in a lot of the things others were interested in. But as I took piano lessons as a kid, I really got a knack for it.” A knack he fostered through high school, learning multiple instruments. And a knack that eventually led him to BYU-Hawaii where he earned his bachelor’s in music. Because of the diversity at BYUHawaii, Edwards was exposed to music styles from around the world — styles he fell in love with. From there he headed to the University of Missouri where he is currently studying to receive a master’s degree in percussion performance. Back in the valley for the holidays,

he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his time. “I wanted to put on a concert to show my friends and family what I’ve been doing the last few years.” As he was calling around for a venue and securing instruments for his concert — such as a marimba he was able to loan from Mountain Crest High School — a thought struck him. “I just thought, While I’m at it, why don’t I try to raise some funds as
well?” Edwards recalls. “So, I just decided to ask for donations so I could get instruments of my own, so I wouldn’t have to keep borrowing other people’s and (can) start my own studio.” From there, the concert morphed into a fundraiser and Edwards worked to get the word out to the community. “I sent in press releases to The Herald Journal. I contacted the radio stations,” Edwards says. “I had friends

The fundraiser event finally took place Thursday, Jan. 2, at the Hyrum Civic Center and highlighted the marimba and steel pan — Edwards’ favorite instruments. “I like the marimba and steel pan because the music available for those covers such a wide variety of styles and genres. I’m really interested in world music and teaching people about music from all around the world, not just the United States and Europe — for example, Latin America, Asia, Africa — and the steel pan and marimba are great instruments to express those styles.” More people than anticipated ended up showing up to see Edwards perform, which left him and his family scrambling to find enough seats. “We counted 85 people, which was way more than I expected to show up,” he says. “We set up about 40 chairs to start, but as people kept on coming in we had to scramble around the building to find extra chairs to seat everyone.” Edwards focused on pieces from outside the U.S. and Europe for his concert, playing them on the marimba and steel pan to applause from the See GLOBE on Page 13
One of the great tragedies of our so-called civilization is the loss of tribal mentality. Sure, it can also go tragically wrong when morphed into jihads, gangs and soccer fans, but we have been trending way too far towards the cult of individuality. For a brief time last week I had hope. I was extremely proud of Utah for transitioning so quickly from freak out to common sense over same-sex marriage. I even Photoshopped the state logo to read “Love Elevated” instead of the double entendre, “Life Elevated.” Most of the early commentaries from people of all faiths were

Though I don’t think Utah will follow Washington and Colorado into the legal pot Promised Land soon, I also don’t think we will wander around in the desert for 40 years. We can then change “Life Elevated” to “The High Life” with only a little snickering. Yes, I know I will probleaning toward accepably go to rhetorical hell tance.

Come on now ... just do it for the tribe them.” I sent my saliva into the National Geographic’s genome project, and it turns out we all came from North Africa. The only real “them” are the aliens who might swarm in from other universes to steal our water and our women. These movie scenarios are about the only ones in which the world really comes together. Given the choice of having

It is true that your child, your dog, your blog and your poetry all seem to be the most special and unique in all the world and recorded history, but really they

Books CIA memoir reveals what wasn’t asked
By Matt Apuzzo Associated Press
There is a moment in John Rizzo’s new memoir when the longtime CIA lawyer has the chance to change history. It is March 2002, and Rizzo has just been briefed on the agency’s proposals for interrogating suspected terrorists. Rizzo walks the grounds of the CIA, smoking a cigar, thinking about waterboarding and other unprecedented tactics that seem “sadistic and terrifying.” Rizzo realizes that, on his own say-so, he can end the discussion right there. With the stroke of a pen, Rizzo, the CIA’s acting general counsel, could kill the program before it starts. “It would have been a relatively easy thing to do, actually,” he writes. Then he thinks about what would happen if terrorists struck again. People would blame the CIA. Rizzo would blame himself. And he couldn’t deal with that. So despite his reserva-
tions, Rizzo sends the interrogation proposal to the Justice Department, beginning a process that gave the green light to tactics the United States once considered and prosecuted as torture. Moments like this occur again and again in the roughly six chapters Rizzo dedicates to the CIA’s post-9/11 response: People set aside nagging questions about morality (should we?) and focused instead on the legalistic question (can we?). Rizzo’s portrayal of key meetings offers an unprecedented and sometimes startling look at how uncomfortable the

enhanced-interrogation techniques made people. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld “didn’t want to get his fingerprints anywhere near the EITs.” Secretary of State Colin Powell seemed “intensely uncomfortable.” National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice was disturbed that the detainees were forced to be nude. Yet there were no discussions about whether this path would damage U.S. relationships with allies, harm U.S. longterm interests or weaken its moral standing. Even though the interrogation program is more than a decade in the past, the topic remains timely. Since leaked documents showed the U.S. vacuuming up millions of domestic phone records, tracking cellphone locations and eavesdropping on calls, officials have defended the tactics as legal. Once again, the question of whether the government should do something is getting less attention than the question of whether it can.

Many insiders have written memoirs about the post-9/11 CIA. Often, those who approved the interrogation program are portrayed as two-dimensional heroes willing to make unpopular decisions to help the country. Rizzo paints a less flattering but more revealing picture, one in which fear hung over important decisions. Fear of another attack, fear of blame, fear of political liability. Depending on your politics and your views on waterboarding, that

may make these figures more relatable and human, their decisions that much more wrenching. Or it may make them seem cowardly. Whatever conclusion you draw, Rizzo’s book makes an important contribution to history and the debate over interrogation. And it serves as a reminder of how much fear drives decisionmaking in Washington. For instance, Rizzo regrets not presenting

the interrogation program to more people in Congress. Not because the legislative branch should have been fully aware of this unprecedented step, but because it would have headed off criticism of the CIA years later. In a few key places, Rizzo skips the opportunity for what would have been important reflection. There is no analysis, for example, of the two psychologists who became the architects of the interrogation program despite limited background and expertise. “Company Man” is tailor-made for CIA buffs. Rizzo’s career as an agency lawyer spanned the decades from IranContra to drones, with Russian turncoat Aldrich Ames, the rise of al-Qaida and some interrogation videos destroyed in between. Though Rizzo never sheds his role as the company man, his book manages to strike notes that are both earnest and candid. That alone sets “Company Man” apart in the genre.

Keep it to yourself; do it for the tribe, etc. You have the idea. “It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.” — John Andrew Holmes ——— Dennis Hinkamp does not wish to pick on poetry and blogging; they are no worse than drunken karaoke.

I guess you can say it’s comedy, but it’s very, very dark comedy. It’s just basically a zombie story.” Simpson is also officially a playwright now inasmuch as back in October, the Wasatch Theatre Company’s Page-to-Stage Festival selected her short play “The Jam” about “subtext, writing and love” as one of six to be performed this month at the Rose Wagner Center for the Performing Arts in Salt Lake City. All six plays will be presented on Jan. 23, 24 and 25, with the audiences voting on which play they felt was best. “I think it’s a pretty big deal,” Simpson says with a laugh. “Some people have said that they’ve known about it. Even some people back home have said that they’ve known about it. So, I freaked out a little bit. But at the same time, I’ve got to be cool about it.” Simpson says once she gets her green card, her and Karlee will probably move to a bigger city. But in the meantime, she says she’s enjoying Utah and the United States.

According to information provided by the Travelling Exhibition organizers, Ott said that Butch Cassidy died in Washington state, not in Bolivia as many believe. Ott, a friend of Butch’s, said he last talked to him in Henrieville in 1936. “Butch told him about South America and Mexico and many other tales which Wallace tells and retells with vigor and detail,” said Fletcher Booth from the Utah Arts and Museum division. Telford, the photographer whose work makes up the exhibit, is a native of Utah and has been taking photographs of people and landscapes for more than 35 years. His work is widely published, with more than 50 magazine cover photos. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. His work has also been included in more than 60 solo and groups shows. He holds an MFA from the University of Utah and is a professor at Brigham Young University. USU’s Merrill-Cazier Library is open from 7 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Thursday; from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday; from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and from noon to midnight on Sunday.

“I didn’t even know Utah was a state before I came here,” she admits. “But since I’ve been here, I’ve probably learned about 30 states. But do you even know how many provinces there are?” Simpson, who does use a distinctive “aboot” when saying “about,” says she does hope to keep up the great tradition of Canadian entertainers making it big in the U.S. One of her teachers at Humber College was Robin Duke, a “Saturday Night Live” cast member from 1981-84 bestknown for “The Whiners” sketches with Joe Piscopo, and she says knows

Open Continued from Page 5 both students and teachers, and she has been given the opportunity to be juror/judge. Bleinberger was born in American Fork in 1953. Shortly thereafter, she moved to southwestern Montana with her family. Growing up on a 1,000-acre cattle ranch in the middle of the Big Hole Valley definitely encouraged her to love the open landscape. She had many adventures on her paint horse, Pinky, exploring the meadows and river places near her home. She attended a two-room schoolhouse in Jackson, and since her teacher was responsible for four grades, she took advantage of free time by drawing on a seemingly unending supply of manila paper found
on shelves in the back of the room. Bleinberger continued her interest in landscape by studying painting at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. She then specialized by studying pastel painting with Sally Strand and Doug Dawson. She also studied with Michael Workman. It has taken many years of painting to gain experience and develop her style of clean and harmonious color. Bleinberger is a signature member of the Pastel Society of American Women Artists, and besides her artwork, she also enjoys teaching landscape painting in the U.S. and France. In October 2014, she will lead a workshop in Tuscany, Italy, and she is currently an instructor at Logan Fine Art Gallery. The “Two Woman Show” will be on display through the end of February.
