FROM THE EDITOR I just heard the good news. The end is not quite as near as we thought. The series finale of “The Office” slated for this Thursday has been extended by another 15 minutes. It’s not a lot, but it’s something. If there’s anything I hate, it’s saying goodbye to my favorite sitcoms. And for the better part of the last nine years, I’ve been able to count on a few hearty laughs on Thursday nights.
While I wouldn’t put “The Office” in my not-so-holy trinity of “M*A*S*H,” “Seinfeld” and “The Simpsons,” it’s definitely on the next tier of my favorite comedies of all time. And a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that I’ve worked in an office environment all those years that also happens to deal with paper — albiet the finished product. At one time, at least a few minutes on Friday mornings at my office were set aside for a recap of the previous night’s episode of “The Office.” The key, of course, to amusing our fellow co-workers was being able to remember the best lines, which, I must admit, occasionally led me
to rewinding my VCR or DVR in order to gain a better grasp of the most amusing quotes. Granted, “The Office” certainly hasn’t been the same the last couple of years without Steve Carrell, but it’s still been one of the more humorous shows on television and I’ll definitely feel the void this fall when there are no new episodes of “The Office” (or “30 Rock”) to look forward to. But perhaps NBC will come up with something to put on alongside “Parks and Recreation” to continue to make Thursdays the funniest night of the week.

all mixed up SLC choir coming to Cache Valley By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
The Salt Lake Children’s Choir will head north to perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 17, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 85 E. 100 South in Logan. The public is invited at no charge. The concert is suitable for those over 6 years of age. Now in its 33rd year under the direction of founder Ralph B. Woodward, the Salt Lake Children’s Choir has long been regarded as one of the finest ensembles of its kind in the nation. “(Woodward) called me to see if there was a time and place for the choir to come and perform here in Logan,” concert organizer Carolyn Bentley explained. “We worked out that they will be coming to Logan on May 17 to perform their spring repertoire, which they presented in Salt Lake City in April. “We and others of Cache Valley always drive down to attend this outstanding con-

cert every spring, but this year, they are bringing their program to Logan to perform. It is always thrilling to hear these pure, lovely voices
trained in the tradition of the European children’s choirs.” Widely admired for its remarkable artistry and its pure, angelic sound, the choir
has been featured at numerous conventions of the American Choral Directors’ Association, has performed and recorded with the Utah Symphony and
Mormon Tabernacle Choir and has been heard on PBS and Public Radio International. For the past three Christmases, the Salt Lake Children’s Choir was also heard on American Public Media’s “Performance Today” which is carried by some 260 public radio stations nationwide. The program will include the music of Palestrina, Robert Schumann and Edvard Grieg, folk songs from Sweden, Scotland and Southern Mexico, as well as sentimental favorites “’O sole mio” and “When It’s Springtime in the Rockies.” Also heard will be the choir’s own ethereal setting of the Sara Teasdale poem “Stars,” the Native American “Zuni Sunrise” and choir’s lively calypso “Down by the Seashore.” The traditional “A Day in Spring,” written by the director, will conclude the program. Visit childrensing.com for more information on the Salt Lake Children’s Choir.
South Cache 8-9 Center Sandstorm coming up Friday puts on ‘Into the Woods’ Annual belly-dance performance held at USU South Cache 8-9 Center will present “Into the Woods Jr.” at 7 p.m. Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11, at 10 S. 480 West in Hyrum. Tickets are $4 per person and are available at the door. “Into the Woods Jr.” is the authorized young performer’s edition of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s cockeyed view of everyone’s favorite fairy-tale characters in this hysterical take on the Brothers Grimm. “Into the Woods Jr.” is a musical comedy that twists fairy tales into a new story. When a baker and his wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by a witch, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell: swindling, deceiving and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (of beanstalk fame). “Into the Woods Jr.” is a funny and engaging way to get young people to think about the stories they’ve grown up with, and the ethical issues raised therein.

beyond have something to look forward to on Saturday, May 11. This is the day the 2013 Doggie Olympics will take place from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Cache County Fairgrounds. This fun-filled event is geared towards dogs of all abilities and sizes. There are over a dozen Olympic events and contests for adults as well as children and their beloved dogs. The idea of a Doggie Olympics came about when two local dog lovers wanted to find a way to help the non-profit canine groups in Cache Valley with a fundrais-
hosts, Mary Conner, had been to a similar event in Fort Collins, Colo., and she was inspired by what a great community event it was that also served as a great opportunity to raise some funds for the homeless dogs. Phaedra Budy, Conner’s co-host explained, “We wanted to bring an event to Cache Valley that celebrated the dog and provided a wonderful event for dogs of all types and abilities. We also hope to raise much needed funding to be shared by the two primary dog shelters in town: Four Paws Rescue and the Cache Humane
Some of the unique events Saturday include Hot-Dog Bobbing contest (dogs get their own tub of water filled with floating hot dog pieces to eat); Musical Chairs (hula hoops placed on the ground serve as “chairs” as humans walk their dogs in a circle to the music); Frisbee Contest; Speed Retrieval; Doggie Obedience (stacking dog treats as high as you can in front of your dog while your dog obediently sit-stays); Doggie Disobedience; Agility for Beginners and so much more.

Seeking historic homes
Organizers of the sixth annual Cache Valley Historic Home Show Tour are looking for homes to feature on their sixth annual tour, which will be held Sept. 7. The event is presented by the Cache HistoriSee DOGGIE on Page 13 cal Society and Cache Valley Visitors Bureau. “There are beautiful architectural treasures in Cache Valley,” said Julie Hollist, tour co-chair. “Some people are shy about showing them and others can’t wait for the chance. Either way it allows others to have a glimpse into our heritage and the quality of work done by early craftsmen.” Homes and yards don’t need to be perfect to qualify, and structures can be big or small. Proceeds from the tour are used for scholarships for USU students studying regional history and to provide funding to transport elementary school students on field trips to the American West Heritage Center. Anyone interested or who has suggestions of homes they’d like to see on the tour should contact Bernice McCowin at 753-5570, or the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau at 755-1890.
Moyer seeks big laughs
Comedian performing tonight in Brigham City
Brigham City will be in a comedy trance this weekend when the Brigham City Fine Arts Center welcomes stand up comedian and stage hypnotist John Moyer at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 with a student ID and $5 for kids 12 years old and under. Visit www.bcfinearts center.org for more information. Performing stand-up comedy for almost 20 years, Moyer knows how to make a crowd laugh. He’s been a popular act at comedy clubs and corporate shows across the country. “It’s more laughing at me, not with me. But that’s OK,” Moyer says. “They’re laughing, so I’m doing my job.” However, after thou-

sands of side-splitting shows on the comedy stage, Moyer now allows somebody else to be the star of the show — the audience. “I’ve always been fascinated with hypnosis,” he says. “It’s an amazing demonstration of the power of the mind, and
it’s a lot of fun. So, I trained and took what I knew about being funny to a whole new level.” The show kicks off with a comedic explanation of what exactly hypnosis is, how it works and helps get rid of the misconceptions. Then, volunteers step on stage to be
put into a hypnotic, feelgood state of mind and the real fun begins. From crazy skits such as having volunteers completely forgetting their own name, to thinking they are in a dance competition, it’s a fun-filled night of comedy and hypnosis for the whole family.
Each September the ballroom on the USU campus is transformed into a 1940s-era supper club for “In the Miller Mood,” the premier big band event in the Intermountain West. Featuring the Stardust Singers, Stardust Dancers and the Larry Smith Orchestra, the show has delighted audiences the past 13 years. It’s time to purchase tickets for this year’s show, which will run Sept. 3-7, in the Evan Stevenson Ballroom at Utah State University. Call 752-0026 or visit celebrateamerica show.com.

Still playing No matter how much of a scrap heap of metal-twisting mayhem the “Iron Man” franchise piles on (and it’s a lot), Robert Downey’s sheer charm — his unsentimental, offhand yammering — is the real superpower in Marvel’s trilogy. The latest follows not just “Iron Man 2” but the box-office busting “The Avengers.” These global blockbusters are more produced than directed, but it’s nevertheless fitting that Shane Black (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” also with Downey) here inherits the helm from Jon Favreau, the director of the previous two. Black, with co-script writer Drew Pearce, squeezes in as much self-aware, winking wisecracks that give the film some zip. But in a fight between screwball irony and blockbuster bombast, the heavy-metal action unfortunately wins. Downey’s billionaire Tony Stark (Iron Man) is pulled into a battle with the terrorist Mandarin (a bearded Ben Kingsley), who takes credit for a series of random bombings. Also in the bad guy mix is Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), an inventor
★★ ‘Iron Man 3’ Director // Shane Black Starring // Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Jon Favreau Rated // PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief suggestive content throughout and drug use turned military contractor whom Stark haphazardly jilted back in his partying years. When helicopter missiles collapse Stark’s Malibu estate into the sea, he’s separated from his companion Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and forced to rebuild himself. The action is mostly cut too quickly to enjoy and the 3-D lends a disappointing darkening for what’s been a bright-hued franchise. 130 minutes. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer
The message behind most romantic comedies is the simple-minded sentiment that love is all you need. So when Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (“In a Better World,” ‘’After the Wedding”) takes that title for a departure from somber drama to romance, you might expect her to deliver it with some serious irony. Yet in Bier’s tale, it turns out love really is all you need. And like any old rom-com, it’s the just-addwater, instant mush variety of love that springs up between the unlikeliest of partners because, hey, you’re in the theater to see a love story. This is several steps above the usual Hollywood romance, with nice low-key passion between Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm as prospective in-laws who connect during chaotic preparations for their children’s wedding. Bier and regular screenwriting partner Anders Thomas Jensen dress things up with gorgeous postcard images of Sorrento, Italy, lovely music, elegant production design and deeper complications and entanglements than we typically see
★★ ‘Love is All You Need’ Director // Susanne Bier Starring // Pierce Brosnan, Trine Dyrholm, Paprika Steen, Kim Bodnia Rated // R for brief sexuality, nudity and some language in a screen fling. It’s still standard stuff, though: mostly predictable, mostly gooey and mostly unlike anything resembling our own clunky tales of amour. The film is gentle and goodhearted, but despite a few solemn themes of illness and infidelity, it never rises above slight and diverting. It’s refreshing to see Bier lighten up, yet disappointing she doesn’t find a way to go deeper than the conventional pleasantries explored here. 116 minutes. — David Germain, AP Movie Writer

Baz Luhrmann’s “Great Gatsby” adaption is sure to strike the ire of F. Scott Fitzgerald fans the world over. Fitzgerald’s novel was purposefully sparse and minimalistic. Luhrmann’s movie is the exact opposite. It greets the roaring ’20s with gargantuan pomp, unstoppable production design, and — for some unexplained and stupid reason — a heavy dosage of modern-day hip-hop music. It’s a funky kaleidoscopic mash-up of periods. The trailers have promised a visual feast — a rendition of the great novel that focuses on the whimsical look and feel of the time. Luhrmann can’t help himself. Gatsby’s parties are described as grandiose, but somehow Luhrmann outdoes the grandiosity of grandiose. He spends far more time than is needed sweeping across raging party goers as they pile into the mysterious mansion of Jay Gatsby. It’s all about the light, the slow motion, the intricately constructed costumes and the incessant thumping of Jay-Z’s lyrics. During all the commotion it’s easy to forget you’re watching a

STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS HAS BEEN MOVED TO A THURSDAY OPENING
there, but Luhrmann seems far too concerned with filling in the gaps, rather than focusing on the true impact and meaning of the novel. While the visuals are often stunning, they become old hat after a while. Another visually stunning film, “Life of Pi,” used its graphic wizardry to help communicate the story. Here it feels like a distraction — like Luhrmann didn’t feel Fitzgerald’s novel had enough going on, so he had to add in his own flair, which causes a
rather bloated 140-minute runtime. After the 30th time the camera dips, rotates, and rises over a city scape or party scene with the help of computer effects, the timeless themes feel like they’ve been usurped. The wondrously colorful images excite at first, but dull later on. They commandeer the movie. They overshadow the magnificent cast that Luhrmann has assembled. As a fevered piece of cinematic art, “The Great Gatsby” stands out. As a truthful adaption of an American literary classic, it doesn’t. Luhrmann certainly has, and strictly abides by, his own effervescent style. It’s all over-thetop all the time. He’s set his sights on bombarding the audience with as much visual menagerie as possible, which in turns feels like a complete disconnect from the source material.

All sparkle, little soul in ‘Great Gatsby’
Artist Laura Wegkamp: Crea L
Local artist Laura Wegkamp stands with her painting “Summer’s Welcome” on Wednesday afternoon at the Logan Fine Art Gallery.
STORY BY CHUCK NUNN
ogan resident Laura Wegkamp has made her mark outside of Cache Valley, painting in both watercolor and oil and having her artwork shown in juried exhibitions throughout the West, the U.S. and internationally. She’s also been featured in four solo gallery shows outside the valley. Now local art afficionados can catch Wegkamp’s first one-woman show in Cache Valley, currently on display at the Logan Fine Art Gallery, 60 W. 100 North, from 10 a.m to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, throughout the month of May. “I’ve been showing with Logan Fine Arts for at least a year now,” said the 27-year-old mother of two. “But this is the first show that they’re doing for me. I also participated in Summerfest twice, a few years back, before I got into Logan Fine Arts.” The Sandy native and graduate of Brigham Young University-Idaho has a style that focuses mostly on realism but also aims to evoke emotion in the viewer. And while she paints a wide range of subjects, her passion for the human figure is central. “I love painting people,” Wegkamp explained. “As far as making the figure look like who they are, I’ve had a really good foundation. BYU-Idaho did a really good job of teaching the fundamentals of how to draw and color and design and things like that. But in my paintings, what I
ating a mood and a feeling really strive to achieve is I want to put some kind of emotion in it. ... There’s a mood there that’s not quite real life that is my artistic expression, where I’ve altered things a little bit, especially the color palette, to create a mood, which is really the goal of my paintings. I want people to be able to feel something when they look at my art.” If there’s something of a photographic quality to Wegkamp’s work, it’s not an accident. Many of her paintings start off as photographs, and with good reason. “I do use photographs because it makes it manageable,” Wegkamp said. “When I was in school, I did do a lot of painting from life. But since then, with a couple of kids, I haven’t really been able to break away to go somewhere to paint from life, but it’s still one of my goals to make that a regular thing for me, to paint from life. I haven’t been able to achieve it yet with two little kids running around.” But while her earlier works often stemmed from going through photographs she’d taken and picking out ones she liked, Wegkamp has taken a more deliberate approach to using photography to set up the composition of her paintings in her more recent artwork. “I’m trying to do it from a different direction,” she said. “First I come up with an idea, something that’s floating through my head, and then I do the photo shoot and work See ARTIST on Page 12
Wegkamp talks about her painting “Journey Home” at the Logan Fine Art Gallery. Wegkamp said while working on the piece, she repainted the face numerous times until it was “just right.”

When you experience something historic — bad or good — it changes the way you perceive things for the remaining days of your life. With inexperience you walk blindly about, trying this and that, and then by dumb chance or fate you blunder into a pivot point — something meaningful, or awful, or inspiring — an experience that you will refer to for the rest of your life to judge every other categorical experience. Eight years ago, I tagged along with my husband on a work trip to Washington, D.C. While he sat through meetings in the hotel conference room, I visited our nation’s capital, wandering through miles of museum corridors, past historic monuments, through the buildings where our government happens. All very inspiring. Then, the day before we were to return home, it happened. That day, a Thursday, remains bittersweet in my memory. It went down like this. My husband, the efficient man that he is, booked us a motel near the Baltimore/Washington International Airport where we had to report early the following morning. After navigating some tricky traffic, we landed in an unfamiliar, rather seedy neighborhood in Maryland with only a few hours of daylight left to find dinner. We asked the motel desk clerk where to go, and she pointed us a few blocks south. The place is a dive, she

warned, but they have good food. A dive it was. Tucked at the edge of a run-down residential neighborhood was a building that looked like it used to be a gas station. The chairs were mismatched. The tables were cracked and stained castoffs from fast-food joints. Tiles were missing from the floor. As hungry as I was, I would have backed out the door if it hadn’t been for the line of people in a serpentine queue that stretched from the counter to the door. There were no real menus. You ordered crab cakes or you got the heck out. We ordered crab cakes — four of them — because we were hungry. Then we leaned on the wall and waited 20 minutes until a harassed waitress plopped two Styrofoam containers in front of us. No coleslaw. No bun. No sauce. We asked the waitress for cocktail or tartar sauce and got a disdaining stare. She begrudgingly passed some over the counter in tiny plastic cups. We’d forgotten to order drinks, but the waitress was gone and the line was too long to wait through again. The cracked and stained tables were full. We took our Styrofoam boxes and grumbled our way back to
the motel. Growing up in a landlocked state, I’d never tasted a crab cake before. Frankly “crab” and “cake” did not seem to belong in the same sentence. On the drive back to the motel I imagined with trepidation the taste of “lobster doughnuts” or “shrimp Twinkies.” I craned my neck for a grocery store backup as we walked through the motel parking lot. Then we perched on the edge of the bed, flipped on the TV and opened the boxes. A salty-sweet aroma filled the room. The crab cakes were huge … fluffy, golden brown pastries the size of big grapefruits. I tore off a chunk and began to eat. It was a tender fried batter, still warm. Copious amounts of fresh chunk crab meat were nestled inside the cake. The meat tasted sweet, not watery and chewy, as the frozenthawed stuff I’d eaten up to that point had tasted. The pastry was chewycrisp on the outside and soft on the inside with a mild spicy-mustard flavor and a hint of parsley. It was tender, warm, sweet
and deeply, solidly satisfying. I turned to my husband, eyes wide. “Good,” I gasped. “Ya,” he garbled, mouth full. We tore chunks with our hands and stuffed them into our mouths, then finally picked up the last of the crumbs with our fingertips, savoring the taste memory. The sauce remained, lid on tight. It was finally thrown away, untouched, with the Styrofoam boxes. After the meal we sat agog, digesting and processing the incredible experience. Who wouldn’t want an experience like that? Well, sometimes me. Since that moment, that Thursday in Baltimore, crab cakes have been ruined for me. Back at home, not long after the D.C. trip, I noticed crab cakes on the menu at a local restaurant and ordered it in salivatory anticipation. It came with coleslaw, a bun, and lots of cocktail sauce. It was smaller then I’d expected, shaped like a burger. I bit into it. It was overwhelmingly solid bread crumbs and egg. It did not include a single
piece of the chunk sweet meat I’d had in Baltimore, just a spare few chewy crab shreds among the dense bread crumbs. The cocktail sauce, I realized with horror, was to cover up the flavor. You can’t order crab cakes just anywhere, I thought with hope the next occasion I tried, this time at an upscale restaurant. No luck. They were dry, compact patties with chewy crab shreds and large amounts of cocktail sauce. But the bun was better. That was just bad luck, I figured, and I ordered crab cakes at a gritty restaurant along the coast of California. Greasy, compact, the taste of overfried eggs. Stringy, chewy, dry garbage. And lots of cocktail sauce.
I don’t live on the East Coast. I can’t just zip up to Baltimore over the weekend. If I’d have started with the compact crab shred burger, I’d be fine today. There would be no pivot point. I would understand what crab cakes generally are. But unfortunately for me, I started with that place in Baltimore and since that heavenly moment, I’ve felt only disappointment. And I’m probably not the only one. It turns out that the dive we stumbled onto is nationally famous. If you can afford it, they mail frozen crab cakes to patrons all over the country. But before you have them air-mail delivered, think of your crab cake future. You’ve been warned.

Books Ride the wave with MTV’s five original VJs
Brooke Lefferts Associated Press
Long before Snooki, there was music. It seems quaint to remember a time when Americans didn’t have cable TV, before music videos and reality stars, but the original MTV VJs describe the beginning of one of the most influential media experiments of all time in “VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV’s First Wave.” Video jockeys Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter and Martha Quinn — with help from rock writer Gavin Edwards — provide an oral history of the launch of the network that pioneered unscripted enter-
tainment, and brought Michael Jackson’s dance moves and Jon Bon Jovi’s hair into our living rooms. The book is an easyto-read compilation of interviews with the VJs. A fitting subtitle would be “Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.” The VJs’ candor about their relationships and behind-the-scenes
antics and politics will be nirvana for pop culture fans. It’s a totally tubular testament to the excess of the ’80s, chock-full of the crazy stories you’d expect — from David Lee Roth’s groupie sexcapades to backstage cocaine binges, infidelity and post-MTV career difficulties. The authors celebrate what brought them together: their passion for music and the people who make it. They marvel at their incredible access to music legends and popular bands, from Madonna’s first club dates to covering Live Aid. They dish about some of music’s biggest names, but say overall the more famous and talented performers — think Jagger, Bono, Dylan, McCartney — were also
the nicest. The book is dedicated to J.J. Jackson, the fifth original VJ, who died of an apparent heart attack in 2004. The group pays homage to the most experienced of the VJs in many stories and old interviews. Lyrics from the ‘80s serve as chapter headings and organize the narrative, while reminding readers of some of the best songs of the iconic era. Photos

“A Woman’s Prayer”
“I Drive a Truck”
By Norma Niederhausern
By Tom Rowley
I drive a truck, a big blue Pete With twin chrome stacks and white pinstripes neat.
Dear God, if I could see you face to face, and feel the warmth of your embrace; how complete my joy would be to see you smile and speak with me.
Three teddy bears like to ride along, While the big diesel turbo whines our favorite song.
Please bless me in my journey here, that I may heed thy whisperings clear. Knowing that you are at my side, may I my trials all abide.
From shore to shore we drive this land, From Canada’s pines to Mexico’s sand.
Help me evermore to see, the confidence you’ve placed in me as a Mother and a Wife and in all phases of my life.
I round each curve and drive each hill, With a prayer on my lips and both hands on the wheel. Kids in cars like to catch my eye, Want to hear the horn — get a wave bye-bye.
Please bless me with a daily song that my joy, may ere wax strong. May I other’s hardships share, that I may lift their load of care.
A honk, a wave, thumbs ip and they are gone, Love to see these kids, they remind me of my own.
Help me that I to the end may stand, holding firmly to they hand; and when my life on earth is through, may I be fit to dwell with you. Then I’ll see you face to face and feel the warmth of your embrace, and how complete my joy will be because I paid the price to see.
Iron Continued from Page 6 Man 3” has raced to a worldwide total of $680.1 million. That includes $175.9 million in its second weekend overseas, where the film has rung up $504.8 million so far. No other solo superhero — not even Batman or Spider-Man — has managed this kind of business. Yet the future of Marvel Studios’ flagship franchise is in the hands of a mortal man with no metal armor, gadgets or special powers, other than his ability to rebound from Hollywood pariah to hottest star on the planet. “Iron Man 3” hints that Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark might hang up his high-tech suits and live a normal life from now on. As the centerpiece behind not only the “Iron Man” flicks but also Marvel’s superhero ensemble “The Avengers,” Downey seems crucial to this comic-book world. Could Disney’s Marvel Studios conjure anywhere near the same magic if it
Waitresses call me “Honey” like they do everyone there, But to a tired lonely driver it’s still good to hear. Lot lizards are not a part of my life, I have love to give but I save it for my wife. The above painting and “A Woman’s Prayer” were created by Norma Niederhasuern for Mother’s Day in 1993.
relaunched “Iron Man” with another actor? Without Downey, would the upcoming “Avengers” sequel have quite the same appeal as last year’s record-grossing first installment? “Your guess is as good as mine,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “Marvel has found a way to tell interesting stories with a variety of characters over time, and it will continue to do so.” “Iron Man 3” had the second-biggest domestic debut ever, behind the $207.4 million start over the same weekend last year for “The Avengers,” which teamed Downey’s Stark with other Marvel Comics heroes. The new sequel surpassed the $169.2 million opening for 2011’s “Harry Potter” finale, the previous second-place debut. In just nine days, the film shot past the $312 million international total for “Iron Man 2” in its entire theatrical run. Among the overseas totals so far: $63.5 million in China, $42.6 million in South Korea, $38.3 million in Great Britain and $35.8 million in Mexico.
When the run is over no finer feeling to be found, Once more I brought it home with all 18 on the ground.

A dogwashing booth will be staffed by the Junction City Roller Dolls, a women’s roller derby club from Ogden.
