remember seeing a woman at Walmart once who walked like a robot because her shoes were too tall — the heels much too thin. I’m sure she just hadn’t had a lot of practice in them. I remember sort of chuckling with a friend about it and then we moved on. The thing is though, now every time I wear heels I realize I walk like a robot. It’s probably karma for laughing at that lady. It’s also because I haven’t had a lot of practice, either. I’m generally in tennis shoes, sandals, flip flops or the Dr. Martens shoes I’ve had since eighth grade.

I’ve been told I look off balance in heels and I will admit I do feel much safer if I’m holding on to something while walking in them. A few years ago I made a New Year’s resolution to purchase my first pair of stilettos. Before that, all my tall shoes were wedges or platform sandals, the kind where you feel taller and the shoes perhaps look a little more fancy, but they don’t require so much of a balancing act. I still wear those stilettos, but not often. In fact, I prefer to only wear them to places I’ll be sitting down most of the time: plays, nice dinners, church. And I quite like them, despite my mechanical movements from my car to whatever building I’m headed. I’ve also been known to take

them off at wedding receptions and carry them around with me. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Tomorrow there will be plenty of girls wearing heels in the Miss Cache Valley pageant at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, but I’m sure they figured out long ago how to walk non-robotically. Beyond that, all the girls are talented and involved in their schools or communities. I had a friend who competed in the Miss Syracuse pageant when we were in high school. She said she would walk around her house in her swimsuit and heels to practice. On stage she was graceful. If it was me, I’d probably be in flip flops. No one wants to see an android in a swimsuit. — Manette Newbold

“Sheepherder,” by Minvera Teichert, will be on display at the Brigham City Museum-Gallery through March 22.

Brigham City museum hosts Teichert artwork Thirty-six paintings by Rocky Mountain artist Minerva Teichert will be on display in the Brigham City MuseumGallery through March 22. Admission to the exhibit, “Minerva Teichert Revisited,” is free. Artwork on loan from private collections belong to relatives and friends of Teichert. Some of those pieces have never been on display in a museum. Works from public collections come from the Museum of Church History and Art, the Springville Museum of Art and the St. George Museum of Art. Teichert’s imaginative power can be seen in the following artworks: “Indian Story of the Flood,” “Westerners on Horseback,” “The Iron Horse,” “Breaking a Pony,” “Indian Captives at Night” and “Mums.”

The Brigham City Museum-Gallery is located in the lower level of the Brigham City Community Center at 24 N. 300 West. The entrance is on the west side. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. For further information, call 435-226-1439 or visit www.brighamcitymuseum.org. With a flair for the dramatic, Teichert painted many religious episodes from the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Through the years she produced about 1,000 paintings, including more than 400 murals. While the artist is known for her religious paintings, she also painted many portraits, still-life and Western scenes. The exhibition explores this other side of Teichert’s work.

University Libraries at Utah State University has created a new exhibit shown at the university’s Merrill-Cazier Library, “Forgotten Photographs of the Pacific Railroad.” The exhibit, assembled by Special Collections and Archives photograph curator Daniel Davis, can be seen in the Merrill-Cazier Library atrium through Feb. 17. A reception for the exhibit is planned Feb. 15 in conjunction with a lecture by Davis for the Friends of Merrill-Cazier Library. “The Forgotten Photographs of the Pacific Railroad” explores the history of the Union Pacific Railroad through photographs and the work of A. J. Russell. The exhibition presents several well-known and idealized scenes of the railroad’s construction (1868-69) as photo-

graphed by Russell while under the commission of the Union Pacific Railroad. In addition to the well-known images, the exhibit presents examples of stereoviews taken by Russell and other photographers that offer a more complete and less sanitized version of the railroad’s history. The stereoviews selected for the exhibit were produced more for the general public than the Union Pacific Railroad company. Stereoviews were the 3-D item of the day in the late 1860s. Viewed through a stereo-viewer, the dual images appeared as a three-dimensional image and were as popular as today’s 3-D movies. The majority of the images in the USU exhibit are drawn from the university’s col-

Hatches return with music and magic Shakespeare play When the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music officially opened in Logan’s historic ThatcherYoung Mansion on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011, violinist Rosemary Hatch and her husband, deceptionist Richard Hatch, were uncertain how their new venture would be received in Cache Valley. “We just had a ‘build it and they will come’ attitude,” Richard says. The couple had relocated to Logan after nearly 25 years in Houston, Texas, to be closer to Richard’s parents, Anne and Eastman Hatch. “I was certain that Rosemary could find violin and viola students in the valley, but I wasn’t sure I could sustain my career as a performing magician here,” Richard says. “I’d given private and group instruction in sleight-of-hand in Houston, so we decided to open a school of both magic and music and see what happened.” They quickly focused

With a modern soundtrack, beautiful language, and an energy only young people can provide, Logan Youth Shakespeare brings “The Merchant of Venice” to life at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema, 795 N. Main. See it tonight at 6:30 or Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door and cost $5 for adults and $3 for students 18 and younger. No children younger than 5 will be admitted. Rarely performed by young companies, “The Merchant of Venice” follows Portia, a bright and beautiful heiress, as she wades through disappointing suitors before meeting Bassanio, the man of her dreams. Unfortunately, in order to woo Portia, Bassanio borrows money from his wealthy merchant friend, who in turn takes out a risky loan from Shylock, a bitter and reviled Jewish moneylender. When the Merchant’s ships sink and Shylock discovers his own daughter has run off with the Merchant’s friend, he demands the full penalty set down in terms of the loan: a pound of the Merchant’s flesh. Logan Youth Shakespeare is a program of Cache Valley Center for the Arts and is open to ages 9 through 19 without audition. Registration is now open for their spring program, “The Comedy of Errors,” and an intense summer production of “Hamlet.” Register online at cachearts.org/lys or call 435-760-1061 for more information.

Sundance: Celebrity sightings and fabulous films It’s been an insane week up here at Sundance. The place has been buzzing ever since the festival got under way. It’s a crazy 10 days full of parties, celebrity watching and, of course, movies. I usually stay toward the movie end of town and leave the Main Street celebrity stalkers to themselves, but this year it seems celebrities have been even more visible. For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, I’ve seen more celebrities this year than in my other three years of Sundance combined. I’ve stood next to David Duchovny and walked past Vera Farmiga. I saw “Modern Family” star Ty Burrell get mobbed by a bunch of fans wanting an autograph. When I think back on the famous people I met and saw this time around, the list seems endless. It sure has been a fun few days. However, the most important part about Sundance is the movies. The movies are what drive the festival. The movies are the real reason most people make an annual pilgrimage to Park City. I’d like to take some time and talk about my top five favorite films I’ve seen at this year’s Sundance. Most, if not all, of them have a chance of finding their way to Logan at some point in the future.

Sundance Film Festival

Jackie Siegel is shown with her children during the filming of a documentary, “The Queen of Versailles.”

“Your Sister’s Sister” This is a brilliant little comedy starring Emily Blunt, Rosema-

rie DeWitt and Mark Duplass. The amazing thing about it is it’s almost all improvised dialogue. At the question-and-answer session for the movie the director revealed

only about 20 percent of the movie was actually scripted; the rest of it is the actors playing off each other. It gets even better when you find out DeWitt and Duplass had only

known each other for four hours before they started doing some really personal and intimate scenes together. This movie is all

about the acting. It’s simply amazing to see these talented actors create a heartfelt story out of a script that was pretty much just an outline.

“The Queen of Versailles” This is one of the most outrageous documentaries I’ve ever seen. I still have a hard time believing that it’s real, but it is. Every single bit. It’s sad, really. Here’s a billionaire family who lost tons of money in the housing crisis

Another movie starring Mark Duplass, but this time we’re talking time travel. Yes, time travel. “Parks and Recreation” fans will be happy to see Aubrey Plaza also starring in this very quirky, very loveable comedy about a man who’s convinced he can travel through time and the group of journalists who secretly want to do a story on him.

Sundance Film Festival

Above: Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana are shown in a scene from “The Words.” Left: A scene from “Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap.”

“Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap” This documentary is all about what it takes to create rap lyrics. Here’s the best thing I can say about this movie: the movie theater I was in was full of middle-class 50-somethings, basically people who’ve probably only accidentally listened to rap, and they were transfixed. This is an engrossing documentary whether you listen to rap or not. It’s about the poetry and the artists who create it; the talent it takes to pull it off; and the ideas behind the genre. It’s a fantastic documentary, it really is.

“The Words” Now here’s a very different kind of film. Dennis Quaid plays an author who has just put out a best-selling novel about a young

writer played by Bradley Cooper, who finds an old novel discarded in an antique bag and then passes it off as his own. The way the stories interconnect as we find out more about the

characters in the book compared to the author existing in real-life is stunningly put together. It’s emotional, thoughtful and very well done. It got purchased by a distributer on the first day of the festival so there’s a big chance it will be coming out in

the next few months. It’s been a fun time here. There have been some great movies, and some not-so-great ones. The snow has been off and on, but for the most part it’s been very nice weather. It’s been the perfect time to be

“Safety Not Guaranteed”

at the festival. For those of you who are looking to make a visit to see a few movies, here are some tips. The last weekend of the festival (Jan. 27 to 29) is the easiest time to try and get tickets to movies. If you don’t want to go to Park City, there are always places like The Tower and The Broadway in Salt Lake City, or even Peery’s Egyptian Theater in Ogden. The last weekend it’s easy to get in the wait list line and see a couple movies before the festival is over. The crowds really die down by week’s end anyway, and that’s a great time for locals to check out what the whole festival is all about. If you decide to go, I hope you have a great time.

Here’s a woman who actually asks, “Who’s going to be my driver?” when she rents a car for the first time from Hertz. It’s astounding to see the stunning opulent decadence these people have lived in for so long. You almost cheer for their downfall.

‘A girl’s moment to shine ’ Miss Cache Valley to be named Saturday

ifteen contestants will take the stage Saturday at the Ellen Eccles Theatre to participate in the 2012 Miss Cache Valley pageant. They will be judged in five areas: personal interview, physical fitness, evening wear, talent and an onstage interview, but there is more at stake than a crown, a title and a chance to vie for Miss Utah this summer — these girls are also competing for tuition waivers to Utah State University. “It’s a great way for these girls to get their education,” says Tiffani Rudd, co-director and judge chair of Miss Cache Valley. She said five scholarships will be awarded. The girl who is crowned Miss Cache Valley will receive one year’s tuition. The first attendant will win a $2,500 tuition waiver. The second, third and fourth attendants will each get $1,500. The contestants will be judged by a panel of five, Rudd said. There are 100 points possible. The personal interview is worth 25 percent. Physical fitness is 15 percent, evening wear is 20 and talent is 35. The onstage interview makes up 5 percent of the score. Rudd said personal interviews will be conducted before the pageant Saturday evening. This is a chance for judges to get to know the girls, Rudd said, and to see how well they think on their feet. Topics for these questions can range from current events to the book the contestant read most recently. “It’s just a broad, broad range of questions,” she said. Contestants will be asked two questions during the onstage interview, which takes place in front of the audience. The first is about their platform and the second is random, Rudd said. During the evening wear segment, judges are not looking for the most expensive dress, Rudd said. They want to see confidence and poise.

“This is the girl’s moment to shine and feel wonderful,” she said. The Miss Cache Valley Scholarship Pageant is in its 20th year, and Rudd said the program has been growing the last few years. She said participation gives girls experiences “they will take with them for the rest of their lives.” Contestants pick a platform and complete service hours, and they need to be aware of world events. Contestants also raise funds for the Children’s Miracle Network and spread awareness of the organization supported by Miss America, Rudd said. Stephanie Romney, Miss Cache Valley 2011, said her experiences with the pageant made her more confident. She said she also gained more respect for herself. After winning last year’s competition, Romney had the opportunity to promote her platform: community involvement in public schools. Romney said she advocated her cause with a service club at USU called Students Teaching Arithmetic and Reading, or STAR. She also worked with the Utah PTA. Romney said if she could offer any advice to this year’s contestants, it would be for them to be confident in themselves. If they are, the judges will notice, she said. Rudd said that, in addition to being “another avenue for scholarship,” competing in the Miss Cache Valley Scholarship Pageant helps girls “learn and grow.” That is something Rudd said she and other pageant organizers are able to see: “That’s the reward we get, to see these girls blossom.” The Miss Cache Valley Scholarship Pageant is at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, 42 S. Main St. in Logan. Tickets are $12 at the door.

In order to pay for refurbishments, one of Teichert’s paintings was sold to the LDS Church and through that sale alone the district was able to finance most of the restoration work for other paintings. The Springville Art Museum also bought a painting from the collection. “It’s an incredible art gallery that the school district owns,” Anthony said, adding she’s often thought about the artists and their meager conditions while painting. Tiechert, who grew up in the pioneer era, painted large murals by

lamp light after her children were in bed. She also mentioned the work of Harwood, which is included in the district’s collection. She said his soft impressionist style is captivating. Currently the Hyrum Library will display work by Moser, William Perkins, Lee Greene Richards and Alma Brockerman Wright. The paintings will be switched out in March, May and July. The Hyrum Library is open Monday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

MUSIC

Tracing Yesterday introduces new sound By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

What do you get when you mix rock, funk and dubstep? The sound — or at least the future sound — of Tracing Yesterday, a local band made up of five Mountain Crest High School seniors who enjoy getting together to jam, compete in Battle of the Bands across the state and perform locally. The group has been together for about two years, although guitarist Nick Apgar and drummer Zac Wilson joined within the last year. Tracing Yesterday’s music is fun, upbeat, and combines an alternative rock sound with electronic music. They write their own songs based on their own musical interests and experiences, and they also play some covers for shows and competitions. Wilson says the band currently only has one song that really combines rock and funk with dubstep, but that’s the direction Tracing Yesterday would like to go with their sound. “We’re going to try and do that a lot more because we figure it’s never really been done before,” he says while sitting at his drum set during practice with the rest of the group. “Since dubstep is so popular right now, people might want to hear us because it’s something different

and it’s incorporating something they already like. That’s what we’re hoping.”

Guitarist Jaden Johnson adds they want to play music people can dance to.

performed with electronic/pop bands Blood on the Dance Floor, Breathe Electric, several bands from Warped Tour and local bands. The group says they love playing at The Basement in Ogden, Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, Why Sound in Logan and at house parties where people want to dance and listen to live music. “I would go to parties and school dances and stuff and I’d always think, ‘This would be so much cooler if it was live.’ The same music, but it if was live,” Wilson says. “That’s what we’re wanting to do.” The group doesn’t take themselves too seriously and will constantly throw jokes around the room during practice. And as for the future, it’s kind of up in the air when they all graduate this spring. They would like to selfrecord some of their songs and no matter what, Johnson says they’ll continue to jam, which is what they currently do while writing songs.

By Douglass K. Daniel Associated Press

At some point every schoolchild learns that William Henry Harrison was America’s briefest president, his death from pneumonia in 1841 coming just a month after a record two-hour inaugural address on a wintry day. For young minds the message is clear: Don’t go outside without a warm coat, and don’t talk so much. If you aren’t contemplating doctoral studies in American history, what else is there worth knowing? Author Gail Collins ably answers that question with the Harrison entry in Times Books’ noteworthy The American Presidents series, a kind of Nutshell Library for adult history buffs. True, Harrison’s 31 days in office receive only slightly

fewer pages than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 12 years. The point isn’t length, but presenting concise, readable portraits of the presidents to a broad audience. Most books in the series are around 200 pages and Harrison’s is about 150. Indeed, the series may be at its best in its effort to make the lives of Harrison, Warren G. Harding and other lesser presidential lights more accessible and interesting. Collins, a columnist for The New York Times, achieves that goal in spite of Harrison’s oh-so-limited legacy. Her journalistic eye for the significant fact and the engaging anecdote helps guide readers through a life of achievement and occasional controversy. Harrison was born in 1773 into a prominent Virginia family, the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Army commission. The young soldier moved up the ranks while fighting Native Americans in the Northwest Territory, then the lands that would become Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota. Those exploits led to his appointment as the territory’s secretary and later as the governor of the vast Indiana Territory, all those lands save Ohio. His lifetime of government service — military general and war hero, Ohio state lawmaker, U.S. congressman and senator, U.S. diplomat, county official His father’s death when William Henry was 18 and studying medicine in Philadelphia left him without ample funds. He tapped his father’s friends, including George Washington, as he successfully sought an

‘Face Thief’ lacks characters, suspense By Michelle Wiener Associated Press

The first few pages of Eli Gottlieb’s third novel, “The Face Thief,” are frightfully good: a woman, later identified as Margot, falls down the stairs, life not so much flashing before her eyes as spooling out in slow motion, mingling with her bonesplintering reality and things she cannot be sure are really there. And so we’re off on what promises to be a narrative of psychological suspense: Margot may have been pushed down the stairs, but by whom, and why? The prime suspects are John Potash, defrauded of his life’s savings by Margot, and Lawrence Billings, whose “Physique of Finance” seminars Margot attended. The cop on the case is Dan France, who visits Margot as she recovers in the hospital. Unfortunately, the book fails

to live up to its initial promise, for two main reasons. First, for a psychological study, the main characters are too flat, motivated by greed for various combinations of love and money — characters we’ve seen before. The lack of originality in Margot is particularly

disappointing, as she reads like a worn-out caricature whose sexual proclivities — sleeping around without enjoyment, using sex as a means to an end — are a major factor in her manipulative and false nature, a mark of her deficient character. There is room in the novel to explore that the same may be true of the two main male characters, possibly all three, but it’s an opportunity not taken. Second, there’s very little suspense. While the ultimate whodunit may be a surprise (but the narrative’s trajectory and the dearth of suspects suggests the mystery is not the point), there’s hardly any tension. We witness Margot’s cons in flashbacks, which drive the story forward, though we know or can guess how it will turn out. I wanted to like this book, and did appreciate several parts. Gottlieb’s writing is strong; sadly his subject matter is not.

— was devoted as much to gaining a regular and plentiful salary as building a young nation. With a wife and 10 children as well as a penchant for investments doomed to failure, Harrison always needed money. Collins’ accounts of the presidential elections of 1836, the year Harrison lost, and 1840, the year he won, provide the slim biography its most lively pages. Lest we forget, running for president has had its silly, disingenuous and ugly sides since the early years of the republic.
