FROM THE EDITOR It’s five days later, and I’m still cold.

Granted, it’s winter here in Cache Valley, and during the middle of the week, we got down into the single digits.

But despite not being outside that much, I’ve got that deep-down-in-thebones kind of cold going on. The type that Kramer described on “Seinfeld” as not being able to get your “core temperature” up.

And it’s all because of a movie I saw on Saturday.

But while the Oscar buzz for “The Revenant” is really heating up, the film

detailing the epic survival story of mountain man Hugh Glass definitely has the opposite effect, right up to the very last shot before the credits.

Filmed in the natural light of winter in Canada and Argentina, as the quote at the top of Page 3 says of “The Revenant”: “It’s very graphic, it’s very real. You watch this and you’re going to feel cold.”

Although I’m fairly well read on the mountain men of the Fur Trade Era, “The Revenant” did what “Saving Private Ryan” did for more in regards to D-Day: It made it brutally real.

I already knew those fur trappers were tough, but the movie definitely brought what Glass went through following a grizzly attack come to life, even though much of the story was fictionalized.

Although I’ve never been mich of a Leonardo DiCaprio fan, he absolutely deserves to walk away with an Academy Award this time out. He and co-star Tom Hardy were phenomenal, and Alejandro González Iñárritu should also win more Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture.

And best of all, Jim Bridger comes out looking pretty good.

I was pretty concerned about how Bridgerland’s namesake would be portrayed, but Will Poulter was excellent in the role and young Bridger emerged through a difficult situation with his character intact.

Although he did appear rather cold, on occasion.

Bishop Hayashi speaking today at MLK event The sixth annual Martin Luther King Celebration featuring Bishop Scott B. Hayashi will begin at 7 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 15, at the Logan Tabernacle.

Bishop Hayashi was consecrated as the Eleventh Bishop of Episcopal Diocese of Utah on Nov. 6, 2010, following his election in May 2010.

“Bishop Hayashi oversees all the Episcopal

congregations in the state of Utah, so it is an uncommon opportunity for us to have him speak in Logan,” says Richard West of Cache Community Connections.

“We consider this to be a significant interfaith event for our community.”

Bishop Hayashi was ordained a priest in 1984. He has served as a parish priest from 1984-2005, serving in congregations in Washing-

ton, Utah and California. In 2005 he became the Canon to the Ordinary in the Diocese of Chicago.

Bishop Hayashi was the youngest of three children from an un-churched family from Tacoma, Washington, and he is the only active Christian from this nuclear family.

His desire to know and to understand spirituality in general led him to a longing

to know Christ when he was 15 years old.

Hayashi attended Harvard Divinity School, where he met his wife, Amy, who was then a student at Episcopal Divinity School. They have been married for 34 years and have three daughters.

His undergraduate work was at the University of Washington where he received a Bachelor of Social Work degree.

Pet: Georgia From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Georgia is an elegant, green-eyed tabby who is about 5 years old. She is very affectionate and will follow you around hoping for some love and attention. Her favorite hobby is eating and she also enjoys the company of other cats and dogs.

If “Georgia is on your mind” perhaps you would like to give her a new home. Indoors only. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please call Sheri at 787-1751 or send an email to scfourpaws@hotmail.com. The adoption fee is $75, which includes the spay/neuter surgery and vaccinations.

Sons to perform at the Eccles Theatre The Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents the Son of the Pioneers at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Originally started

by Roy Rogers, Sons of the Pioneers will bring the lore and mystique of the American West through stories of horses, cattle and cowboys, and original, classic songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” “Cool Water” and “Ghost Riders in the Sky.” Tickets for the performance are $25 to $39. They are available online at cachearts.org, by telephone at 752-0026 or at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Box Office at 43 S. Main St. Youth, student and group discounts are available.

The Sons of the Pioneers were started

by Roy Rogers and the gifted songwriters Bob Nolan and Tim

Forty-five-year-long member Luther Nallie is “trail boss” of the group, acting as curator of their trademark sound. He sings baritone and adds accompaniment on bass. Lead guitar player Tommy Nallie, member since 1983, supplies a little yodeling. High tenor Ken Lattimore plays the fiddle and the mandolin.

Randy Rudd has a rich and clean solo voice, plays rhythm guitar, and provides running chatter. And Mark Abbot plays lead fiddle and a dose of comedy to each performance.

The Grand Ol’ Opry has hailed the Pioneers as “icons known around the world for their trademark harmonies and haunting The Sons of the Pioneers will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. lyrics that tell the story of the American West,” and Spencer.

exhibit will be on display through May 7.

The exhibition, which will be on display through May 7, showcases a wide range of kitsch, kitsch-like or kitschinspired objects dating from the 20th and 21st centuries drawn from public and private collections, including figurines, shot glasses, snowglobes, posters, toy cars and mass-produced lithographs, as well as fine art objects that play upon the accessibil-

ity and dominance of kitsch across cultures.

“Derived from ‘verkitschen’ (German for “to make cheap”), kitsch was first used in the 1860s and 1870s to describe art sold in street markets in Germany,” said Katie Lee Koven, NEHMA director and chief curator. “While many continue to characterize kitsch as lowbrow, scholars have identified various interpretations of kitsch in the mod-

ern and postmodern eras.

Kitsch may be an intentional style of the maker, evoking sentimentality or posing an ironic gesture. It may also be defined by technology as kitsch objects are often mass-produced, stimulating the broad diffusion of imagery in the marketplace.”

“A Matter of Taste” includes more than 50 artworks. Highlights from See USU on Page 10

The World of

WATERCOLOR

Local artists gather together once a month with the Cache Valley Chapter of Uah Watercolor Society The Cache Valley Chapter of the Utah Watercolor Society meets every month to not only learn more about the watercolor medium, but to encourage each other to develop their talents.

The group was founded in 1990 by Bill Lewis and Vaunda Lauristen and currently boasts of over 60 members.

“These are meetings to promote painting and art, water media and watercolor on paper,” said Jill Bliesner, the current treasurer and a former president of the Cache Valley Watercolor Society.

Every second Tuesday of the month, the group meets in the Jim Bridger Room at the Logan Library. Each meeting starts off with a critique led by Lester Lee, a professional artist.

“You bring a piece of artwork and you put it in front of everybody and you talk about it and people can make comments and suggestions,” Bliesner said. “That’s really quite valuable to have a professional artist who has

taught art a lot to talk about what you should do.”

After the critique, the group has a guest artist come and either show some of their work or demonstrate some technique.

The group also has an outdoor painting group that meets twice a month, though during the winter months the group meets indoors.

The group has an exhibit coming up from Feb. 12 to April 12 at the Logan Fine Arts Gallery. Carl Purcell, an art professor at Snow College will be the judge of the show and cash prizes and ribbons will be given out. Purcell will also be teaching workshops during that same time period for both society members and nonmembers.

The meetings are open to the public and everyone is invited to attend.

“You don’t have to be a painter to join,” Bliesner said. “If you’re just interested in art, we’d love to have people join.”

‘China Girl’ says video changed her life Bowie’s co-star recalls ’83 shoot WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — In 1983, New Zealander Geeling Ching was 23 years old and waiting tables at a Sydney cafe when she was chosen to play the lead role in David Bowie’s “China Girl.”

She says the music video and the brief romance with Bowie that followed in the 1980s were like a surreal dream and a life changer.

The death of the British rock star from cancer this week at age 69 stunned fans worldwide. Ching was watching a tennis tournament in Auckland, where she lives, when her phone started buzzing: Is it true?

She was already a fan when

she met Bowie. As a teenager, she’d put Bowie’s posters up on her bedroom wall and bought one of his albums.

“There was something quite other-worldly about him,” she told The Associated Press in an interview. “He was beautiful. Just beautiful.”

The video parodies Asian stereotypes and went on to win an MTV award. At the time, the unedited version was banned from New Zealand and some other countries for a raunchy scene on a beach.

Ching said she and Bowie, then in his mid-30s, were naked for the scene, but it wasn’t romantic.

“We got up at 3 in the morning to shoot that, to catch the

sunrise, and it’s the least sexy I’ve ever been in my life,” she said.

She said she was freezing and struggling with salt water getting into her mouth. Some crew kept away curious joggers while others stood by with bathrobes. In another scene, she said, she accidentally head-butted Bowie but thankfully didn’t break his nose.

A real-life romance did develop, she said. She was struck by Bowie’s intelligence, his charm and how he was so relaxed in chatting with fans.

After the shoot, she said, Bowie invited her to join him on tour in Europe. She traveled on a private jet and saw the frenzied fans.

“It was completely surreal,” she said.

It didn’t last long and Ching, who these days uses the Anglicized version of her family name Ng, returned Down

Under.

“It’s had the biggest influence on my life that I could have ever imagined,” she said.

Her role in the video opened doors and she took some acting roles, including one in “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.” But she loves the hospitality industry and now works as a restaurant manager.

In 2007, she ran the New York City Marathon, listening to Bowie’s “Heroes” album as she crossed the finish line.

Ching didn’t make contact with Bowie again until he played in New Zealand in 2004. He was doing a photo shoot with executives backstage when he saw her.

“His face lit up,” she said.

“He walked away from the photos and said, ‘Geeling, you’re here! Fantastic.’”

‘Force Awakens’ holds off DiCaprio at the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” stayed on top of the North American box office for the fourth straight weekend, beating out Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Revenant,” and becoming the thirdlargest grossing movie in the world ever.

According to studio estimates Sunday, the adventures of Rey, Finn and stalwarts from the previous “Star Wars” films raked in $41.6 million in the U.S. and Canada and $104.3 million overseas, led by a record-breaking opening in China.

China was “spectacular” given the film is the first “Star Wars” episode many Chinese people have ever seen. “We’re very encouraged,” he said.

In the U.S. and Canada, it is the biggest movie ever and the first to pass $800 million with $812 million so far.

Its global total now

stands at $1.73 billion, according to The Walt Disney Co., passing “Jurassic World,” with $1.67 billion.

The film now has in its sights No. 2 “Titanic,” with its $2.2 billion box office haul in 1997-98, and No. 1 “Avatar,” from See BOX on Page 15

to provide that epic-ness that only Michael Bay can create. So, it’s a disappointment when all this detail is blurred beyond recognition during some of the most incomprehensible action scenes ever filmed.

The camera shakes uncontrollably far more than any argument of chaotic realism can justify. While Bay expertly sets up the geography of the compound and annex with sweeping establishing shots, once the action starts it’s almost impossible to tell where the characters are in relation to anyone else. Editing is, as it always is in his movies, lightning fast. No shot lasts more than a second

as they blaze by faster than the brain can register them. It’s an all-out onslaught on the senses.

Some directors have quirks; Bay’s are just more noticeable. Take for instance a scene where a mortar is fired. The camera follows the projectile up into the sky where it peaks and begins its descent. It’s a shotby-shot remake of the scene from “Pearl Harbor” where we follow a Japanese bomb as it falls onto a U.S. ship below. We get it Michael Bay. Credit where it’s due, “13 Hours” offers up a brilliant kinetic energy. As confusing as its visuals are, the patriotic feelings Bay manufactures are genuine.

But, perhaps that’s not Bay at all. Perhaps it’s just because the story of these guys is so harrowing.

Either way, you’ll most likely need a Dramamine to watch this shaky-cam spectacle.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Your tolerance for Michael Bay’s chaotic visual aesthetic is directly proportional to how much you’ll like “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” Lovingly nicknamed “Bayhem,” Bay’s approach to action is, essentially, more is never enough.

The film is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s book “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi,” which, with the help of many of the security team members that found themselves in the middle of a deadly firefight with terrorist militants in Libya, recounts the events of the fateful night of September 11, 2012. Like the book, the movie foregoes any sort of political comment on the events. Instead it’s a look inside the action mainly from the point of view of Jack Silva (John Krasinski).

Silva joins up with a team of highly-trained, ex-military security guards to protect a secret CIA annex in Benghazi.

While working as private security contractors, it’s evident that these men — Silva, Rone (James Badge Dale), Tanto (Pablo Schreiber), Boon (David Denman), Tig (Dominic Fumusa) and Oz (Max Martini) — are still deeply influenced by their military background.

Barring a history lesson, which is offered up in brief at the beginning of the film, all one must know is that Benghazi was one of the most dangerous areas in the world for a U.S. diplomatic outpost. The CIA annex is only a few blocks away from a U.S. owned compound which

Dean Continued from Page 4 with Curb Records for the release of his 2004 album, “Let Them Be Little.”

The single was a career radio smash and spent 10 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard chart.

Other popular hits include: “I Miss Billy the Kid,” “We Just Disagree,” “All the Difference in the World” and “American With A Remington.”

Dean returned to the road to master the art of the solo performing troubadour. With one man and one guitar, he showcases his skills as an accomplished guitarist and an award-winning songwriter and vocalist.

In the process, he has topped the pop, country, bluegrass and Western music charts, earned six gold albums and multiple Grammy nominations.

Through all the chart-jumping and genre-busting, Murphey has remained constant to an honest, sophisticated approach to his songwriting.

The Cache Valley Cowboy Rendezvous will come to an end with the annual Sunday Cowboy Church at 9 a.m. Sunday, March 6, at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville.

Admission to the gathering is free from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 4, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 5.

“The Chinese Girl” (1952); and Jack Vettriano’s “The Singing Butler” (1991).

The exhibition explores questions about how kitsch objects are a reflection of our culture; the connections that can be made between art and kitsch; and how kitsch is perceived differently depending on one’s age and cultural background.

The presentation of “A Matter of Taste” will include a symposium of the same title, convening international scholars, curators and performers to discuss the nature of kitsch and the arts. The symposium will take place at USU April 7–8.

Other public programs include an interactive area where visitors can play with board games and puzzles and watch film clips about the objects on display. Visitors will also be invited to participate in a kitsch exchange in the museum’s lobby.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Hours are from 10 a.m.

through expectations of about $25 million in its first weekend of wide release with a $38 million haul, following limited showings in New York and Los Angeles in December.

Already buzzing for Oscars in categories like best director and best actor, 20th Century Fox’s domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson said “The Revenant” surprisingly brought in mainstream audiences despite its at-times graphic material.

“It’s very graphic, it’s very

real,” Aronson said. “You watch this and you’re going to feel cold.”

Having the film open wide well after “Star Wars” was released gave it room to breathe, he said. “Now I think there’s a specialness to this film that might have been lost earlier.”

Of the Top 10 films this weekend, only Focus Features’ “The Forest” was in theaters for the first time over the weekend, coming in fourth at $13.1 million.

Smithfield seniors (age 55 and older) will meet for a meal of pork chops at noon Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the Smithfield Senior Citizen Center, 375 Canyon Road in Smithfield. Cost is $3.

The activity for the day will be an ugly sweater contest (so wear your ugliest sweater), and a hot chocolate bar. Come socialize with other seniors any time after 10 a.m. If you haven’t signed up for the meal, please call Rachael at 764-1303.

THURSDAY The Spring Creek DUP Camp will meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21, at Elements restaurant, 640 S. 35 East. The hostess is Theone Bodrero.

Benton Wood will perform with Steve Cook, Jake Harrison, Tracen Bradshaw and Nora Barlow at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21, at Why Sound, 30 Federal Ave. Tickets are $6. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Professionals for Seniors will bring together the vibrant network of health, aging and social service professionals who serve the senior community in Cache Valley at noon Thursday, Jan. 21, at Sunshine Terrace Skilled Nursing and Rehab, 248 W. 300 North. If you provide housing, healthcare, DME, care management, financial or legal services, please feel welcome to come network and learn with and from one another. Call 7540233 to RSVP.

Focus president of distribution Jim Orr said the horror film topped expectations. It put “Game of Thrones” star Natalie Dormer in a forest at the base of Mount Fuji renowned for suicides. The film found a younger audience skewing female that is typical of most horror films, but saw a bump Saturday from Friday, which is unusual and which Orr credited to good word of mouth.

“Hopefully that will help it leg out better than the genre normally does,” he said.
