FROM THE EDITOR I can’t explain why, but I still like to think if myself as an artist ... even though my art career peaked with a handful of blue ribbons at the Eastern Idaho State Fair and came to an abrupt end when I left junior high school.

There’s just something inside of me that makes me think that, if my life were on my line, I could still draw a decent sketch or paint a lovely watercolor scene (as long as

neither one involved drawing or painting a human being with a face, of course).

But after not picking up a brush for two or three decades, that’s obviously ridiculous. So, if there are any young artists out there who happen to be reading this, take my advice — and the advice of my parents that I ignored — and don’t ever stop creating. Even if it’s just hanging onto to a sketchbook and drawing something every once in a while, it’s worth it to try and maintain some of those skills for use later in life.

And, oh, you should also enter the Young Masters High School Art Com-

petition and Exhibition sponsored by the Brigham City Museum of Art and History.

It seems like Cache Valley artists do well over there every year, and this spring, artwork from students from ninth grade to 12th grade (including homeschooled students) will be accepted on March 21 and 22.

A call for entries and an art submission form can be obtained on the museum’s website at brighamcitymuseum.org, or you can call (435) 226-1439 for more information.

Like a lot of professional signer-songwriters, Mary Kaye bought her first guitar in Manti, Utah, while seven months pregnant with her 10th child.

“I just went into the local music shop with a certain budget in mind,” she recalls with a laugh. “And I said, ‘What’s the best guitar you can give me for this price?’

And he said, ‘Do you want to play it?’ And I said, ‘No, I just want to buy it.’”

Known outside of the Western music world as Mary Kaye Knaphus, the pretty Texas native who spent her teenage years in Mississippi, didn’t even know how to play the guitar at the time. But Mary Kaye was determined to learn how.

“I’d get the kids sent off to school, set the guitar on bed and just practice in between loads of laundry,” she says.

Just to be clear, those 10 kids — now ranging in age from 26 to nine years of age — all came from single births with her husband of 28 years, Brad Knaphus, a native of Utah County whom she met while attending Brigham Young University. And when Mary Kaye bought that first guitar, Brad’s construction

‘The DUFF’ awkwardly swings and misses

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

D.U.F.F. is apparently an acronym for “Designated Ugly Fat Friend,” and in the world of “The DUFF” we’re supposed to think that this terminology accurately describes Mae Whitman.

Let’s forget for a second that the premise for “The DUFF” is horrifically bad and terribly executed; the movie asks us to just go with it and accept that Whitman fits the bill. How does the movie convey that Mae Whitman is the “uggo” within her trio of friends? Well, that’s up to the costume designer, who drapes her in overalls and baggy sweaters, hop-

school, reminding many of the students of their bleak future prospects. In McFarland it seems that you’re either in prison, or in the fields picking produce.

After butting heads with McFarland’s head football coach, White is relieved of his assistant duties. As the school’s PE teacher, White notices that many of the kids have an innate ability to run long distances, quickly. The Godgiven talents of the town’s kids is reminiscent of the story told in Christopher McDougall’s stirring non-fiction book “Born to Run.” In the book McDougall provides a rare glimpse into the simple

but amazing lives of a tribe of “super athletes” living in Mexico’s Copper Canyons. Known as Action!

the Tarahumara, these native Mexicans cover vast distances like it’s nothing. They happily consume running as a daily commute. The same goes for the young boys featured in Disney’s retelling of McFarland’s improbable rise to crosscountry stardom. With many of the boys lacking constant access to modern transportation, they naturally use their feet to

get around. White notices the potential, picks out a team of promising young men, and then throws together a team to compete in California’s first ever cross-country state championship.

While based on true events, it’s easy to spot when “McFarland, USA” drifts into familiar formulaic territory. At first the coach is ostracized, but soon cultural walls begin to come down.

Initially the kids are reluctant, then they come around. Trust issues arise within the team. The coach’s loyalty is called into question. A rag-tag band of misfits coalesces into an unbelievable competitive machine.

by Coach White learning some valuable socio-economic lessons about poverty and making ends meet.

The events surrounding the movie may indeed be entrenched in truth, but it’s almost impossible to see when Disneyfication of the narrative takes over.

It’s only possible to know that, at times, it most certainly does.

One aspect that the movie nails is how it feels to run in a race — the unexplainable adrenaline that surges through a racer’s veins when a competitive race begins. It doesn’t matter if it’s a charity 5K or an ultra-marathon, every runner feels that initial indescribable rush. This animalistic response to beat everyone around you takes over.

Visually, the movie gets it, accurately capturing what it feels like to give yourself up to such a unique way of competition. To put

The inspirational sports drama is a finicky beast. It’s difficult to toe the line between schmaltz and genuine emotion. The problem with inspirational sports dramas that are born from real-life events is that it’s almost impossible to know where the lines blur. That is, until someone directly involved with the events speaks up and says the movie got it all wrong.

Until then we have to take the filmmakers at their word that they portrayed the events with at least some historical accuracy. Yet, “McFarland, USA” grinds out a well-traveled rut of bygone sports dramas claiming to be inspired by real-life events. So, it’s easy to feel like some of the story is being conveniently recounted in order to preach its wellmeaning, sanctimonious message.

Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is a hot-head, hard-nosed football coach who made an egregious error. In the opening scene he throws a cleat at one of his players in a heated moment.

We all know that White’s career at that school has come to an end. He’s been ousted.

That one fatal mistake flings him and his family to the nether regions of the California public school system.

White and his wife and daughters are forced to move to predominately Hispanic, McFarland, California, where he’ll become the new PE teacher at the local high school. McFarland is a poor migrant worker community that has a prison directly across the street from the high

THE ‘DARING’ ART OF ANDY WORRALL Story by Wade Denniston • Photographs by John Zsiray There’s an old adage that states one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

But for local artist Andy Worrall, he turns trash into treasure.

“My nose is in the gutter, is what I like to say, and I see the trash that’s left behind from someone else,” Worrall explains. “Why it’s there, I don’t know, but I find stuff and pick it up and think, ‘What can I do with this to turn it back, to give back somehow, to make a smile?’”

That’s the basis behind Worrall’s artwork. The Fast Forward Charter High School fine art teacher and department head just wants to bring a smile to someone’s face — even if it’s only for a brief moment.

“The power of a smile is something that can be very helpful,” says Worrall, who is originally from Cheshire, England. “There’s an amazing power to just making someone smile and connecting with that person. I find a lot of satisfaction from my work if I just create a smile, even if it’s momentarily.

“There are often deeper meanings in there, but whether they come across or not isn’t as important, I don’t think.”

Worrall’s artwork was featured in the CVCA Gallery Walk last Friday at the Logan Library. One such piece — or pieces if you will — featured a red squirrel on recycled cardboard. The three-layer screen print was done with the color red first, then white and finally black.

Worrall had a total of 100 of these squirrels in the library. He also has 120 of them, as well as scented air freshener trees, in an elevator at the Chase Fine Arts Center on the campus of Utah State University.

Why the fascination with the squirrels?

Fast Forward Charter High School art teacher Andy Worrall displayed some of his work at the Logan Library last Friday during the CVCA Gallery Walk.

“The red squirrel is native to England and it’s endangered at the moment in England,” Worrall explains. “I’m not endangered here in America in any way, but I do find it a little curious, like the squirrel is curious about the tree — the car freshener tree. Is it a tree?

It’s a silly question. Of course it’s not a tree. It looks like a tree and it

smells like a tree, but does it have any tree-ness to it? Absolutely not.

“So,” Worrall continues, “I feel like that squirrel, and I was trying to relate to the squirrel, relate to animals in a way. How do they feel when they come across something that’s sort of like what they know, but not what they know?”

Worrall, whose work also

includes a 3D space-age picnic featuring a UFO shape as the picnic table and “the weird food that we eat,” is currently working on his master of fine arts degree at USU. “I love the idea of teaching and I love the idea of teaching through art, so I’ve been working a lot on paintings that are sort of interactive based, that are not just to look at, but that you have to engage, as well as look at them,” Worrall says.

Worrall definitely has his own unique way of creating art. Of course, there’s the garbage aspect of it, but he’ll also attach pieces together using glue or screws.

Many of the pieces he creates are devised to take a funny look at modern life.

“A lot of this stuff I do, it’s not pure form,” Worrall says. “It’s funny.”

Worrall, who has been creating art since he first started sketching the Incredible Hulk when he was little, loves teaching his passion to the students at Fast Forward. What is the No. 1 thing he wants his students to take from his class?

“The biggest thing is the learning because a lot of these kids are struggling emotionally and that really puts a damper on their ability to learn,” Worrall says. “It’s not whether they’re clever or not, it’s more emotional turmoil that’s going on. It could be at home, it could be with friends or whatever.

“The biggest thing is just to try and make them excited to go learn or at least have them enjoy the discovery of art. I think that’s one of the biggest things that I can do there, is provide them a safe environment to be daring, to risk failure and to discover learning can be fun and enjoyable.”

Have you always wanted to fly, be an innovator, criminal and strict Constitutionalist all at the same time? It’s easy; just fly a drone. Packages are available at prices ranging from $35 to $12 million.

Hobbyists always tend to overestimate the importance of their myopic interests, but you can’t open a newsfeed now without seeing something about drones. Nobody really cared until Amazon and Pizza Hut started hinting that they might start using them to make deliveries. Well, that and when a drunken government employee easily breached the White House’s force

field of death with a $500 off-the-shelf quadracopter (aka drone).

Sure, it was great when drones could be used to kill alleged Pakistani bad guys from a safe distance, or catch the random illegal immigrant taking a hike across the impenetrable fence that separates the United States

and Mexico, but once they started clogging the friendly skies with pizza and Amazon personal hygiene products the situation went code red. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) woke up from its nap dating back to when the Red Baron and the Hindenburg ruled the skies and started calling for regulations.

The current regulations for commercial use of drones issued by the FAA require that I tell them how many seats are on my tiny drone, and what the medical condition is of my copilot. I am allowed to fly anywhere I want below 400 feet, so long as I don’t make any money in the process. I can take pictures of anything and anyone so long as I don’t sell the photos.

Let’s pause now for a little more background on the “drones” in question. Much like when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to simply KFC to deemphasize the unpopular “fried” part, small drone fliers like to refer to their evil machines as UAVs (Unmanned Arial Vehicles) or UAS (Unmanned Arial Systems.) I hate the gender awkwardness of “unmanned,” and I have just reverted to calling it a drone since that is easier for people to understand.

If they really want to know more, I explain that it is a quadracopter (four propellers) that carries a camera. It weighs five pounds and can fly on battery power for about 15 minutes. I explain that

is like having a tripod in the sky. It saves me the time and effort of hiking up the mountainside, or the expense of renting time on a real airplane.

When I review the foot-

is the sky land.

I suspect that the privacy advocates are more worried about a drone spotting a couple of cannabis plants in between the tomato rows than they are of being caught wearing Speedos or less in the backyard. When I have a teachable moment, I point out that you can basically see anything you want, all the time, nearly for free in the privacy of your dark computer room.

Why spend $1,000 on a drone to do it? God bless America, this is why the Internet has flourished.

ond, closer reading.

These narrative diversions and jazzy prose riffs will frustrate some readers but thrill others, and overall Johnson deftly pokes dark fun at a wide swath of culture, high and low.

With subtle humor, he skewers a range of targets, from a professor’s “Salon de Chat” at the university in Berkeley (also known as “Berzerkeley”) to the yahoo world of Braggsville (sample bumper sticker about President Barack Obama: “I DON’T LIKE HIS WHITE HALF EITHER”). The town bills itself as “The City That Love Built in the Heart of Georgia, Population 712.”

It doesn’t love everyone, however. Racial and gender issues are spun around by Johnson as D’aron is filled with dread over the mock lynching and its aftermath. But as

Wind Orchestra to play Feb. 27 The Utah State University Wind Orchestra and Symphonic Band, conducted

by Thomas P. Rohrer and Gregory Wheeler, combine for their winter concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, at the Kent Concert Hall in the Chase Fine Arts Center.

The concert is free and open to the public.

“This annual showcase and curricular performance outlet of the USU bands demonstrates the abilities of the school’s finest wind and percussion players, from music majors to non-majors alike,” Rohrer says. “The concert is a rare public exhibition of musical variety — from high art to toe-tapping razzle daz-

zle — by students from every college on campus.”

The Wind Orchestra program begins with Ron Nelson’s festive work “Savannah River Holiday,” and continues with two multimovement pieces, “Symphony for Band” by Jerry Bilik and “Year of the Dragon” by Philip Sparke.

The Symphonic Band program features “Original Suite” by Gordon Jacob and the Percy Grainger adaptation of the British Folk song “Green Bushes.” “A Yorkshire Overture” by Philip Sparke and “See Rock City” by Brant Karrick complete the program.

Following the separate performances of each ensemble,

the groups will combine for “Hounds of Spring” by Alfred Reed and “Star Wars Medley,” the theme for the evening, by John Williams.

“The headline work was arranged for concert band in 1977, the year the first movie was released, and was likely the first such authentic arrangement to be published,” said Rohrer.

“After many permutations and additional films, this version remains an enduring legacy of where it all started in 1977.”

The university bands concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call 797-3004 or visit arts. usu.edu.

OK, now that that’s out of the way, the movie just gets so much worse. “The DUFF” is operating under the illusion that it’s a progressive comment on teenage life, and how labels don’t matter, etc. Except at every turn the movie is intent on labeling everyone.

It operates on CliffsNotes versions of superior high school movies like “Mean Girls,” “Easy A” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” It’s mistaken in thinking it has anything of value to say about the complicated plights of average kids navigating the confounding social hierarchies of high school. Whenever it gets close to a meaningful insight, it bails for the nearest testicle-themed joke.

‘Grey’ whips up $81.7 million LOS ANGELES (AP) — Audiences were more than curious to check out the big-screen adaptation of the racy phenomenon “Fifty Shades of Grey” this weekend. The erotic R-rated drama sizzled in its debut, earning an estimated $81.7 million from 3,646 theaters in its first three days, distributor Universal Pictures said on Sunday.

In addition to destroying Valentine’s and Presidents Day weekend records, “Fifty Shades of Grey” has also become the second-highest February debut ever, behind “Passion of the Christ’s” $83.9 million opening in 2004.

“Our fondest wishes were realized,” said Universal’s President of Domestic Distribution Nick Carpou. “This is one of those moments where I can speak for the entire studio and say we’re celebrating.”

Director Matthew Vaughn’s “Kingsman: The Secret Service” also exceeded expectations, landing in second place with an estimated $35.6 million from 3,204 locations across the three-day period, according to Rentrak.

The R-rated comic book adaptation cost a reported $81 million to produce and should earn around $41 million across the four-day period.

Animated children’s film “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water” came in third with $30.5 million in its second weekend in theaters.

It reeks of desperation, just begging you to laugh at its ungainly insights and its clumsy attempt to explain social media.

comes when a scene from Season 2 of the Simpsons is playing on TV showing Homer completing KublerRoss’s Five Stages of Grief in under a minute. After seeing “The DUFF” it’s understandable if you’re stuck in Stage 2 for a while.

Admission to the rendezvous is free. Concert tickets are $20 for VIP seats, $15 general admission and $10 students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at IFA in Hyde Park, Ridley’s in Hyrum, Macey’s in Providence and online at www.cachevalley cowboyrendezvous.com.

Many challenges threaten the Ingalls family’s security, including Indian attacks, disease and devastating crop losses. Powered by their devotion to each other and an unwavering “pioneering spirit,” they are able to overcome anything.

The show features a lush musical score with five original songs, among them “Move On,” which captures the restlessness and excitement of loading up the covered wagon to find a new home, and “Fishin’,” a duet in which Laura and Pa laugh and share tall tales at their favorite fishing hole.

Written and directed by ArtsPower Artistic Director Greg Gunning with music by his longtime collaborator Richard DeRosa, “Laura Ingalls Wilder” has been a hit with audiences since its premiere in 1995.

“At ArtsPower, we are committed to enriching children’s lives through the performing arts,” executive producer Gary Blackman says. “By introducing our audiences to enthusiastic characters like Laura, children can see new possibilities in life and in themselves.

Since many of our musicals and dramas are based on popular and classic literature for young readers, we ignite their desire to read.”

Mary Kaye, who plans to go into the studio soon to record her fourth album, dropped by Canyon Elementary School in Hyrum last Tuesday to spend time with students passing through Barbara Shidler’s music classes.

“I’m hoping that the kids understand the difference between country music and Western music, and that I pique their interest so they’ll bring their families to the gathering,” Mary Kaye says. “My goal when I’m hired to sing at a venue is to bring as many people to that performance as I can, so it’s a win-win.”
