FROM THE EDITOR In Utah right now, we’re getting ready to welcome President Obama and Air Force One, while also preparing for a quiet Easter Sunday and an even quieter LDS General Conference weekend.

But for the rest of the country, it’s time to get fast and/or furious.

As you can probably tell from the photo above of Vin Diesel — as well as the movie review by Aaron Peck on Page 7 — the latest installment of the “The Fast and the Furious” franchise is about to be released: “Fast & Furious 7.”

Now, while I often enjoy action movies and have seen numerous starring the likes of Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jason Statham and the late Paul Walker, I have to admit ... at this point of my life, I have seen all but seven of the “The Fast and the Furious” movies.

I can’t really explain why I’ve never seen one. I mean, I’ve seen every movie in the “Die Hard” franchise, and all the “Rambo” and “Rocky” films, and every James Bond movie. Not to mention every “Shrek,” “Toy Story” and “Batman.”

Now, I do know why I have never seen a “Harry Potter” movie or even one “Lord of the Rings” or “Hobbit” film — that’s just not my scene. But I really don’t have a reason for missing out on the entire “Furi-

ous” franchise, other than I was apparently busy when the first movie came out in 2001, and I just never caught up.

To be honest, I even had “Fast & Furious 6” recorded on my DVR for close to six months, but I finally gave up a few weeks ago and deleted it ... even though trailers for “Furious 7” make the latest sequel look pretty entertaining.

Perhaps when they hit an even 10 “Furious” movies I’ll sit down and binge watch the whole franchise. Who knows? It might be a good distraction while recovering from surgery or something. But for now, it looks like I’ll continue to stay out of the “Fast” lane.

Led by renowned local guitarist Corey Christiansen, the Corey Christiansen Trio also includes Ryan Conger on organ and Steve Lyman on drums.

Born and raised north of

Chicago in Mundelein, Illinois, Wolfe began playing piano at the age of 5 and saxophone at the age of 10.

He earned a bachelor’s of music from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, where he began his professional career playing with bands such as Vaughn Wiester’s Famous Jazz Orchestra, the Dayton Jazz Orchestra and his own quartet.

Wolfe then returned

to Chicago and in 2011 obtained his master’s of music from DePaul University. It was during this period that he first began exploring the creative possibilities of contemporary large ensemble music, an interest inspired by his studies with Tom Matta and experiences performing with local Chicago bands such as Ryan Adamsons’ Medium Ensemble and

Bryant Scott’s Great PostModern Nightmare.

Wolfe is currently based out of Logan, but he continues to perform across the East Coast and Midwest as the leader of his own octet and composers’ tetradectet and as a member of Ishmael Ali Zghoul’s “Zebec,” as well as “Team Players,” an avant-garde quartet with Brad Linde, Aaron Quinn and Deric Dickens.

‘Food justice’ advocate to speak at USU There is little that cuts across class and culture as completely as food. But, the literal bread of life has vastly different meanings in extremely disparate neighborhoods throughout the nation.

The “food justice” movement aims to address those discrepancies.

LaDonna Redmond is an eloquent advocate and dominating force in the current food justice movement.

As part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences’ Tanner Talks series, Redmond will speak from 11:30 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. Wedneday, April 8, in Old Main 115 on the Utah State University campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Redmond also will be a guest on Utah Public Radio.

A Chicago native, Redmond became involved in the food justice movement when her young son developed food allergies and she found it impossible to find quality organic produce in her West Side neighborhood.

‘As One’ coming to USU Festival seeking artwork Chamber opera to be performed for second time

A monodrama for two voices sharing one central role — the America Opera Projects-commissioned work “As One” — is a oneact chamber opera that chronicles the experiences of a transgender person as she emerges into harmony with herself and the world around her.

“As One” premiered in New York in September 2014.

Written by composer Laura Kaminsky and with an original libretto by Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed, “As One” also features the Fry Street Quartet from the Caine College of the Arts. It is through the efforts of the Fry Street Quartet that the new opera will be seen in Cache Valley.

St. John Passion set for tonight Jessop to conduct collaboration between AFCO, Utah State The American Festival Singers will be joined by the Utah State University Choral Scholars and Chamber Orchestra at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, April 3, at St. John’s Episcopal Church as they perform St. John Passion

by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Suggested donation for St. John Passion is $10.

For more information, visit americanfestivalchorus.org.

First played for audiences on Good Friday in 1724 at the St. Nicholas Church in Germany, St. John Passion has become a recognized tradition during Holy Week and remains an enormous work of art for musicians and patrons of every faith

tradition. Under the musical direction of Craig Jessop, St. John’s Episcopal Church will be filled on Good Friday with the 18th century musical narration of the Passion of Christ as told in the Gospel of John.

Bach’s St. John Passion is a rich and ornate piece of music that will leave the listener experiencing each note as they reverberate through the sanctuary and lift the emotions of the faithful. The piece famously couples complex arias with the familiar chorales that have defined St. John Passion. Bach’s work has been described as a serenely majestic piece of music tell-

ing a story of torment and anguish. Jessop’s direction of St. John Passion is one that will move the audience as few pieces do.

Jessop is professor of music and the founding dean of the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University. These appointments followed Jessop’s distinguished tenure as music director of the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir and head of the Department of Music at Utah State University.

The American Festival Singers are part of The American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. Founded in 2008, the AFCO con-

cluded its seventh regular season with a performance of Gabriel Fauré’s Messe de Requiem, Op. 48, and Francis Poulenc’s Gloria.

The AFCO is Northern Utah’s premier professional musical organization that creates unique performing opportunities and partnerships, and celebrates the human experience through music.

The Utah State University Choral Scholars is an ensemble that has performed Benjamin Britten War Requiem, Opus 66, USU’s Joyful & Triumphant and Winter Songs Christmas concerts as well as several benefit concerts.

Celebrate America holding auditions for next production Open auditions for singers will be held soon for the first time in many years for Celebrate America Show’s “New York, It’s a Wonderful Town!”

The popular big band show will host auditions from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 2, and from 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 4, at the Sky View High School Auditorium.

In this year’s Celebrate America show, three Navy sailors have 24 hours to spend in New York City before being shipped to the battlefront in World War II — loaded with singing and dancing that will have you tapping your toe and proud to be an American. Come perform with a professional, 17-piece orchestra.

Diesel says Oscars weighted against action films BEIJING (AP) — Vin Diesel said Friday that the latest “Fast & Furious” film deserves a best picture Oscar but has two strikes against it when it comes to the Academy — it’s an action flick and it’s a sequel.

“Do I shy away from aiming high? No, I don’t,” said the 47-yearold actor, who has appeared in virtually all of the “Fast & Furious” action films based around fast cars. He spoke to The Associated Press while in Beijing to promote the new film.

“And yet we all know that there’s a little stigma towards action films, we know it, we’ve heard people complain about it, we’ve heard Marvel complain about it, we’ve heard DC complain about it, and now Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Batman has never gotten a shot at that,” he said.

ers and dies in it. It’s a copycat, and a lousy one at that. There are a couple moments where he pulls back from the action, teasing an ability to frame a scene, but then, nah!

The plot, birthed from the remains of good espionage movies, involves Dom (Vin Diesel), Brian (Paul Walker), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej (Ludacris) being chased by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) for hazily remembered events that took place in the sixth movie. Something about Shaw’s little brother, revenge, alpha-male, “I’m gonna get the people who did this to you,”

macho B.S. Take for example the opening scene where Deckard walks out of a hospital which has been completely destroyed. Bodies are strewn about like bloody confetti. Apparently, this guy is some sort of super spy, and now he’s coming for the people that did whatever they did.

Who can remember anyway? All I remember is that dreadfully long runway.

Even the misogynistic overtones are too much to stomach.

No, it’s not satire or a clever comment on action movies in general. It’s just it. Wan ogling every woman’s butt isn’t enough. The screenplay sees fit to downplay the smartest woman in the room — a hacker named Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) — as nothing but eye candy.

Tyrese drools over here, stammering, “Why would you hide a body like that behind a desk?” Har, har. Why indeed.

The “Fast and Furious” franchise evolution is something to behold. How a movie about young kids racing souped-up cars turned into a spy movie is anyone’s guess.

In “Fast Five” the crew tried out a heist, and that worked well.

“Fast & Furious 6” they did something unmemorable in London — well, except for the car/ airplane chase on the world’s longest runway.

Now, in “Fast & Furious 7,” our band of grizzled, muscle-bound, gearheads are trying on their best Ethan Hunt impressions.

“Furious 7” is a full on spy movie. Or at least it wants to be. The end product provokes a probable event wherein writing duo Gary Scott Thompson and Chris Morgan presumably said, “You know ‘Mission: Impossible?’ We’re going to do what they did, but with cars.” It’s utterly ridiculous.

At first, the scattershot plot, the half-cocked revenge story and the unnecessary globe-hopping (seriously, the new Bond film is going to be hard-pressed to visit more global locales), is sort of amusing. There’s a constant wink-wink, nudge-nudge, inside joking for the franchise’s diehard fans — or even those who have seen and groaned through every film. However, it isn’t very long until the casual snide demeanor wears off and gives way to director James Wan’s crass style of filmmaking. Wan’s filmography, which is littered with horror films, gives little promise that he’d be able to make a big-

‘Fast & Furious 7’ just keeps on going

‘WHAT DO YOU SEE?’ New exhibit at the Hyrum Library showcases the artwork of local painter Holly Conger

A

rtist Holly Conger rarely uses a paint brush. She works with her canvases on the ground, throws paint and squirts water onto the surface and directs its movements by tilting the canvas. She also uses her arms to stroke the paint.

“I have this balance between spontaneous movements and then controlled movements the whole time that I’m painting,” Conger said.

This wasn’t how the Iowa native and Utah State University graduate always approached her work.

“I used to paint very controlled and objectively so that there was actually a subject in my picture ... You could recognize what you’re looking at and I would be very, very meticulous in rendering objects,” she said.

When she began graduate school at USU, she was also creating collage transfers, but she then had an experience that changed her approach.

“I was about a little over a year into grad school when one of the professors in the art department passed away, and it hit really hard and just really made me contemplate everything about life and I felt very uninspired and confused and depressed,” Conger recalled.

At the time, she had surfaces of wood to paint on, but Conger said all she could do was prime them. After priming the canvas with a white chalky paint, she used different methods to sand the surface.

“That’s all I could focus on but I felt like, well at least that’s progress because it’s something.

And one day in, I think it was mid-March in 2013, I was walking to my studio on campus, and it was just the first hint of spring — I could smell spring and I could see trees budding and I thought about this professor who had passed away. And I thought how it was sad that he couldn’t see this beginning of spring, and all of a sudden I just got overwhelmed with this feeling like, But I’m here and I can ... I should just celebrate being here and living here. And I was just so full of exhilaration that I went into my studio, and I had this white surface on the ground that

was just blank canvas waiting for anything, and I poured paint over it, and I poured water and it was all swirling all over the place … I rolled over the surface and it was just so exhilarating,” Conger said. “I felt so alive and just wild and free and that’s where it all started.”

That painting — called “Gratitude” — and others are currently on display at the Hyrum Library as part of an exhibit of Conger’s work.

The exhibit began a few weeks ago and she said she is glad for the opportunity: “I was just so impressed with this beautiful library, this beautiful building, and I was excited to have my work showing on these walls.”

The venue allows many to see her work, she said.

“Having an exhibit like this in a library exposes a variety of people, who may not even be interested in art,” Conger said. “They can’t help but see this work, and when they do, I don’t need them to love it or to understand it.

What I hope is that it will spark conversation about the work.”

Conger explained that when people see her paintings, some ask what the meaning is or what the painting depicts. In return, she asks them, “What do you see? What do you feel when you look at it?” Conger said she “would not expect my paintings to have the same significance to someone else as they do to me. The meaning of the painting is unique to the viewer.”

Conger, who graduated from USU with bachelor’s and master’s degrees, says response to the exhibit has been positive, and she hopes people find it inspiring.

“I hope that it encourages conversation about different types of art and different styles of paintings,” Conger declared. “And then I hope that it inspires people to be more creative, but to also live in the now and appreciate the moment.

months of not needing air conditioning. Seasons change and so do I, and I promise that will be my last pop song reference.

Even after 35 years here I never claimed to have walked two miles uphill in the snow to school, but I can still fondly relive the olden days of Cache Valley winters. There once was a university administrator not too long ago or far away who asked that we not put any photos of winter in our publications. It was oft feared that students and penguins would chose the more tropical climes of the University of Utah

or Brigham Young University rather that shiver through a Cache Valley winter. Though calmer heads and winter sports enthusiasts have led to the no-snow-photos edict being dumped, there still is no winter semester or even session on campus. Your educational choices are limited to fall, spring and summer.

I sort of miss the good old days. There was once a time when you ventured out of the valley any time between September and June and you could always count on Mid-Utahns asking you if “there was still snow in the canyon”

or if “Bear Lake was still frozen over.” The answer was yes just often enough that you couldn’t laugh at them.

We were once proud survivors of winters that sent the meek to St. George. We used to have to earn summer through an arduous winter. Now it just seems to be given to us like a participants ribbon at a mini-triathlon.

I miss the good cold days, when winter was not just a parenthetical concept.

This past three months of intermittently cold-ish weather and early sunsets will go down in Cache Valley history as the parenthetical “winter.” I didn’t get to watch nearly enough bad television, escape to St. George or complain incessantly this “winter.” Instead I was out checking sprinkler heads and making seasonal cleaning trips to the landfill starting around Valentine’s Day. Do air quotes with me and agree that you really can’t say we had enough “winter” to earn spring. It would be easy to jump on the liberal global-warming, hybrid

Mariachi Divas coming in May

Continued from Page 6 with Michelle Rodriguez, who plays racer Letty Ortiz.

The film is one of the last movies starring Paul Walker, who died in a car crash during a break in the filming of “Fast & Furious 7” in November 2013. Walker was a passenger in the car, and investigators cited unsafe speed as a cause of the accident. The movie was completed with help from Walker’s brothers and is a tribute to him.

Rodriguez said Walker loved the world of racing and adrenaline sports.

“I’m going to celebrate him, and I’m going to celebrate everything that he represented about the celebration of life and the love of pushing life to its edge because there are individuals on this planet that can’t live otherwise, they can’t live ordinary lives cooped up hiding from danger and I’m one of those people and he was one of those people,” she said.

The Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents the two-time Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Divas at 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 11, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

The all-female mariachi band based in Los Angeles will be in at the theater for one night only. The band has been nominated six times for the prestigious Grammy Award and has taken the award home twice. Before the show there will be a free lecture in the Bullen Center Carousel Ballroom about the history and cultural significance of mariachi music.

Tickets start at $24 for the concert and are available at the box office at 43 S Main in Logan,

The ridiculous incomprehensible plot is to be expected. The logic-defying stunts are part-andparcel for the franchise — for heaven’s sake there’s a scene where The Rock heals himself with pure will and flexing power. However, even with all the givens, it isn’t too much to ask for competent filmmaking, which this most assuredly is not. The only recommendation here would be to take ear plugs and Dramamine if you intend on seeing it.

It was annulled 11 weeks later by Pope Innocence at King John’s urging, triggering a civil war. Subsequent kings reissued the great charter four times during that century, maintaining the original guarantee of “the law of the land.”

Magna Carta was the first significant step in a process of safeguarding constitutional freedoms that continue today.

“Magna Carta was a failed peace treaty,” said Nathan Dorn, Law Library of Congress curator of rare books who also curated the travelling exhibit.

“Our ideas of limited government, trial by jury, due process and the writ of habeas corpus are all part of a tradition that’s 800 years old,” he said.

In the early 1600s, legal scholar Edward Coke looked for an ancient basis for limiting the power of the king and he found it in Magna Carta. He developed a document that became required reading for lawyers, and it later impressed American revolutionaries. Ideas from Coke’s interpretation found their way into the charters of American colonies and, eventually, to the U.S. Constitution.

“The General Laws and Liberties of the Massachusetts Colony” (from 1672) references trial by jury, freedom from unlawful seizure of property and freedom from unlawful imprisonment.

The juror for “Young Masters” was Katie Lee Koven, director of Utah State University’s Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. Koven chose Pre-Revolutionary War pamphleteers popularized Magna Carta, especially the clause they read guaranteeing no taxation without representation.

“To them, Magna Carta was about the dangers of tyrannical government and the obligation of the citizenry to stand up for their rights,” Dorn said.

The Fifth Amendment provision that “no person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” descends from Magna Carta.

Neighbors pitched in to provide the labor that allowed them to build a healthier local food system.

From that beginning, Redmond has steadily become one of the country’s most notable food justice advocates. She founded the Campaign for Food Justice Now (CFJN) in 2013 and her TEDxManhattan talk the same year was wildly successful and has since been seen online by

thousands of viewers.

“Food justice is not just about nutrition,” Redmond said in a TEDx presentation. “It’s about dignity. It’s about visibility.”

Indeed, the food justice movement seeks to address the variety of social, political and economic issues that currently creates inequalities in the nation’s food system.

“We must join together to create a narrative where all are invited to sit at the table to create the food system we need,” Redmond said.
