From the editor

A

t 24, I am still familiar with the lives and interests of kids, thanks to my adorable 8-year-old niece and 4-year-old nephew.

I am well versed when it comes to princesses, trains, cars, paper dolls and role playing. To these kiddos, I also owe my renewed interest in Beverly Cleary’s books about Ramona Quimby.

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve breezed through “Beezus and Ramona,” “Ramona the Pest” and “Ramona the Brave.” Reading these books have taken me back to my own childhood and the first time I read about the Quimby family. There are some Ramona stories that have stuck with me since a young age, like when Ramona discovers that a quarter of an hour is not 25 minutes.

Ramona is probably one of my favorite fictional characters. I admire her spirit,

imagination and the exciting world she creates on Klickitat Street. And, perhaps most importantly, we agree on rain boots — there is more to boots than avoiding soggy shoes. What they look like says a lot about the person wearing them.

Ramona also likes to color. Thanks to my niece and nephew, this is another activity I’ve had a lot of practice doing in the last several years, and I love it. I’ve mastered doodles including turkeys, dogs, cupcakes, fire trucks and Frankensteins.

“Crayoning made her troubles fade away,” Cleary wrote about Ramona Q. I find that this is the case for me, too. Any handiwork that involves colors and paper or fabric, a needle and thread is therapeutic. For me, creativity is calming.

High school art debuts in celebration

ast Forward Charter High F School will be sponsoring the “Church Street TriFecta” on Saturday,

May 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. in downtown Logan. The Iron Gate Grill will host a student art show, a showing of student videos, and a review of the music performed by the Fast Forward Performance class over the past year featuring the works of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Led Zepplin, and Radio Head.

At Caffe Ibis, students will be performing acoustic solo music and duets. Citrus and Sage will present a student art show along with poetry reading and acoustic music.

This exhibition will also celebrate the Arts Ambassador program, a year-long collaboration with USU ArtsBridge, USU’s Access and Diversity Center and Fast Forward Charter High School, pairing a USU ArtsBridge scholar with an arts student from the alternative high school. Six USU ArtsBridge scholars in three arts disciplines (visual arts, video and music) have mentored six high school arts students in the same disciplines throughout the school year with the intention of encouraging retention, graduation and college attendance through the arts.

“We invite everyone to join in these celebrations of creativity and to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the businesses that support our efforts around Church Street and Federal Avenue,” says Holly Conger, USU ArtsBridge program assistant and Arts Ambassador mentor. Special program support for these exhibitions was provided by the Utah Division of Arts and Museum’s Random Acts of Art seed money grant program –

promoting active arts engagement as a means to transform society.

The students’ work was also on display from May 12-19 at the Twain Tippets Gallery at USU. “At the beginning of the year our Arts Ambassadors were talking about ‘if’ they went to college. Now they are pronouncing ‘when’ they go to college,” ArtsBridge Program Director Laurie Baefsky said. All six students will be graduating high school in May, and several have

been admitted to Utah State University.

The mission of Fast Forward Charter High School is to provide a safe nurturing environment where students who may be at risk of not completing high school requirements can be challenged with curriculum presented to accommodate their unique learning styles. Its primary goals are to help students discover their academic potential and furnish them with the tools to promote lifelong learning and civic responsibility.

Renowned magician to stop in Logan

agician Al Lampkin M is scheduled to perform his family show of clean comedy and magic at the Recital Hall of Magical Moon Toys’ new location, 1940 N. Main, North Logan, at 7 p.m. on May 27. The cost of admission is $5 per person and the public is welcome to attend this family event. Advance purchase of the tickets is rec-

ommended and are available from Magical Moon Toys (old location, 1451 N. 200 East, Suite 190, Logan) and Peewee’s Sweets (1 N. Main, Logan).

After a lifetime based in Southern California, Al relocated to West Valley City in 2008, but has traveled and performed in 25 countries around the world and appeared on

over 100 television shows including the “Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson.

Al’s performance is being hosted by the Cache Valley Conjurers and will last about 45 minutes. Following the performance he will give a special lecture for magicians.

For more information about Al, check out his website at www.allampkinmagic.com

tonight from 4 to 6 p.m. She will be speaking at the Tabernacle afterward at 7.

Liz Lemon Swindle has a deep, abiding faith that resonates in her art. She studied fine arts at Utah State University and then worked as a set designer for the Osmond television production company.

As her family grew (she and her husband Jon have five children), she wanted to be home with her children and changed her focus to oil painting. In the early 1980s she tutored under renowned wildlife artist Nancy Glazier and soon after established her own impressive reputation as a painter, participating in shows at major galleries in the central and western United States.

In 1988, she took a chance and submitted a portrait of children to the National Arts for the Parks competition. After receiving the coveted Founders’ Favorite award, she realized then that there was an audience for her portraits and by the early 1990s she had devoted herself to the topic closest to her heart: her faith.

A one-woman show of her art has been traveling to cities nationwide since the summer of 1997. Her prints, canvases, books, and cards can be found at galleries and bookstores worldwide.

T

he death of former NFL football player and U.S. soldier Pat Tillman in 2004 was one that earned national attention from the media and public. Tillman’s family was told by the military and government that he was killed by the enemy in Iraq and was awarded a silver star. Soldiers were told to keep quiet about the truth, that Tillman’s death was actually caused by friendly fire.

The Tillman family was told lie after lie until Tillman’s mother decided to find out the truth.

The film offers emotional and blunt commentary from the family and some soldiers who served alongside Tillman when he was killed. Director Amir Bar-Lev strives to paint Tillman the way he really was, an Atheist who loved his family, who wasn’t shy about cussing, who excelled in football and wanted to serve his country. In the end Tillman was a man who didn’t agree with the war he was fighting, but was determined to finish his commitment with the Army, despite offers from the NFL. Those who view the film will be taken through the process Tillman’s A free screening of family went through to discover the truth about his death — the count“The Tillman Story” will less hours they spent looking at a few years after he died.

What was it like talking to the Tillman family?

“They are a group of remarkable people and also very human people and don’t allow anyone to put them up on a pedestal. They are an incredible group of people and hopefully they come through in the film.”

When did you decide you wanted to document this story?

“I didn’t get exposed to this story in any depth until

with us.”

What will viewers get out of this movie?

“Well, I think Pat Tillman is an American hero and I feel very confident that school children will be taught about him for decades to come. He and his family are people we should aspire to be like. That doesn’t mean they are perfect. Far from it. But they challenge us to think about our notions of heroism.”

What was it like talking with the soldiers who served alongside Tillman?

“This story is a little like stepping into the rabbit hole. When you meet the family and you meet the soldiers who worked alongside Pat it seems pretty clear that there was criminal negligence in his death and that there was a cover up of what happened afterwards.

These were voices in the wilderness. No one has ever been held accountable for what happened or given anything more than a superficial punishment.

These are voices of a counter narrative. I think people will find it interesting to see how far off the mark the story was in the mainstream media.”

Do you think these kinds of coverups happen more often in the military than we know?

“This is a shameful story of soldiers used for cheap political stunts. A lot of what we do in the military is dictated by PR campaigns. And this is a case where the military picked the wrong family to screw with, but I’m sure this happens all the time.”

‘Pirates’ take a turn from witty to weird

isney has opted D to completely leave the number four off of

The Reel Place

this latest installment of the “Pirates of the CaribBy Aaron Peck bean” franchise almost like they’re begging us to forget about the disaster of a movie that was number three. While it really isn’t all that easy to forget how dreadful the third movie was, it’s relatively easy to slide into “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” expecting a whole new story about the swashbuckling escapades of (Captain) Jack Sparrow.

This franchise has been lumbering along since 2003, sucking up box office dollars. The first film was dark, witty, and fun. The second had a collection of great action scenes, coupled with some stellar special ★★ 1/2 effects that accompanied Davy Jones and his “Pirates of the Caribbean: crew of lost souls. The On Stranger Tides” third one became too bloated with numerous Rated PG-13 storylines going nowhere and a movie that felt like a complete mess.

Let the movie play out see what “On Stranger He had just been talking rather than showing us Tides” is sorely missing. to a group of pirates, but exactly how everything There’s a wit and charm now he’s all alone.

the plot. That’s simple enough. Sparrow, Barbossa, pirate newcomer Black Beard, and the Spanish are all after one thing: The Fountain of Youth. That’s what the movie is about. Along the way they run into killer mermaids, supernatural feats of nature, and each other. Sword fights ensue and characters exchange pirate (un)pleasantries.

Then we wonder where all this is heading. It’s

starting to feel like an overwhelming number of characters and subplots just like the third film.

There’s a completely useless subplot with a priest that seems to be there just to fill in the scenes that Orlando Bloom would have been in had he been in this movie. Every time we cut back to the priest the movie comes to a grinding halt.

Yes, “On Stranger Tides” is better than “At

World’s End,” but not by much really.

Marshall and the writers mistake walking through the jungle as adventure. Sparrow feels under used, while Barbossa remains a shining beacon in a rather dim movie. Fans of the “Pirates” films may be happy with this latest installment, but the franchise really hasn’t found any new footing.

Still playing

“Bridesmaids” Rated R ★★★1⁄2 This takes the typically cliched wedding movie genre and completely upends it and reinvents it into something surprisingly daring and alive. But it also takes the Judd Apatowstyle buddy comedy, with its mixture of raunchiness, neurosis and sentimentality, and tailors it to female experiences and sensibilities. That the film achieves both of these ambitious goals simultaneously while remaining (mostly) hilarious is a testament to the power of Kristen Wiig as co-writer and star, and to the awesomely eclectic ensemble cast of strong comedians who surround her. Like the comedies Apatow has directed — and here he serves as a producer — “Bridesmaids” drags on longer than it should. It also features a ridiculous gross-out scene that was unnecessary. “Bridesmaids” is too smart, too clever and too inspired to fall back on formula. The presence of Wiig, front and center, ensures that. She stars as Annie, a Milwaukee woman who’s recently lost her bakery and her boyfriend.

The one bright spot in her life is her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph), who’s

just announced that she’s getting married and wants Annie to be her maid of honor. But Annie ends up competing with Lillian’s new BFF, the perfect and passive-aggressive Helen (Rose Byrne). 125 minutes.

“Jane Eyre” Rated PG-13 ★★★ There’s been no shortage of film versions of Charlotte Bronte’s classic tale of romance and woe. Now, yet another take on the 1847 novel has come to the screen, with Cary Joji Fukunaga directing Moira Buffini’s script, which shakes things up by messing with the narrative structure. It begins with Jane fleeing the imposing Thornfield Hall in hysterics and is told mainly in flashback, which creates tension from the start — even if you know the story. Fukunaga may seem like an odd choice to direct such revered literary material; his last film, “Sin Nombre,” was a contemporary and violent tale of Central Americans making their way through Mexico on their way to the United States. But both are about people searching for a place to belong, and they share a visceral immediacy.

The pacing might even be a bit too low-key, but because it is, and because the attraction between Jane

“Something Borrowed” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 Directed by Luke Greenfield (“The Girl Next Door”) and based on the novel by Emily Giffin, “Something Borrowed” introduces us to Goodwin’s character, Rachel, on the night of her 30th birthday. She’s quietly freaking out about the passage of time because she’s still hopelessly single, the clichéd trademark of so many chick-lit heroines.

Meanwhile, her closest pal since childhood, the blonde party girl Darcy (Kate Hudson), is about to marry Dex (Colin Egglesfield), Rachel’s good friend from law school.

Rachel introduced the two of them six years ago and encouraged them to get together, even though she was secretly in love with Dex. But after a few drinks at her surprise party, she and Dex end up sleeping together — and that inspires them to revisit feelings they’d both suppressed.

Painting outside the box

mpty cereal boxes line the top shelf in Jacob Brazell’s family room art studio.

Some are donations from family and friends; others he’s rescued from the recycling bin.

Eventually, the Golden Grahams depicted on the glossy side of the box will be covered with acrylic paint.

He’s been using the boxes for his support since last fall, with inspiration coming from a Utah State University graduate art student who did her thesis exhibition on packaging early last year.

“It was just all about how we rely on different boxes and containers for everything — for our food, for our clothing, for our computers.

Everything’s in a box,” Brazell said.

“And I know she was saying more than that, but that really struck me how much we rely on packaging. As I thought about her show, I started wanting to respond to it.”

And the idea of painting on cereal boxes was born.

Brazell, 37, has been an artist for the past 17 years, and the Logan resident has used a range of other surfaces for support over the years — everything from canvas, to masonite, to paper.

“With a cereal box, all of a sudden I had this very economical material

that didn’t require any setup,” he said. “Other than cutting off the sides so I could have the nice flat rectangle in the middle, it was ready to go. It didn’t need any stretching, any taping, any fuss. And it took the paint really well, especially on the glossy side.”

But painting on cereal boxes isn’t the only unconventional element to Brazell’s style.

Instead of a brush, he mostly paints with a credit card (it’s actually his old insurance card that he cut in half).

“I was just working on some paintings a few years ago and got too much paint on a piece, and I needed to take it off,” he said. “I didn’t have anything, so I found a piece of plastic ... and scraped it off. And all of a sudden, the painting was done. You know, that mistake was this beautiful red and black painting that sold a week later at the (farmer’s) market.”

But painting with the cards has taken away some flexibility and control over the artistic process. Certain curves, for instance, can’t be done well.

“I used to be very controlling as an artist, and everything had to be just right. And this has introduced less control, more flaws, more mistakes, and I’ve kind of enjoyed that,” he said. “That’s more like life, where

you’re not in control and things just happen and you’ve got to deal with it.”

Brazell is an abstract artist, sometimes painting motifs such as crosses or Y’s. But he mostly paints landscapes, which often contain horizon lines — a facet of his work that originates from growing up in Oklahoma.

“We lived on the edge of town.

And because Oklahoma’s such a rolling place — you know, it’s all hills and rolling plains — the horizon’s about a mile to two miles away in any given direction,” he said.

Brazell sells his paintings on Etsy (modernshape.etsy.com) and at Violet Hill in Logan.

He thinks his work as an artist will continue to evolve. After all, his work now is a lot different from the pencil drawings he did in high school or the structural pieces he experimented with in college at Utah State, which were full of lines and a little bit of color. His work has gotten more abstract over the years.

“This all has been a surprise. I didn’t anticipate changing thing after thing after thing. So I’m assuming it’s just going to be more change,” Brazell said. “Based on my track record, I’ll be doing something else in 10 years, except that I will be doing art.”

Painting outside the box

mpty cereal boxes line the top shelf in Jacob Brazell’s family room art studio.

Some are donations from family and friends; others he’s rescued from the recycling bin.

Eventually, the Golden Grahams depicted on the glossy side of the box will be covered with acrylic paint.

He’s been using the boxes for his support since last fall, with inspiration coming from a Utah State University graduate art student who did her thesis exhibition on packaging early last year.

“It was just all about how we rely on different boxes and containers for everything — for our food, for our clothing, for our computers.

Everything’s in a box,” Brazell said.

“And I know she was saying more than that, but that really struck me how much we rely on packaging. As I thought about her show, I started wanting to respond to it.”

And the idea of painting on cereal boxes was born.

Brazell, 37, has been an artist for the past 17 years, and the Logan resident has used a range of other surfaces for support over the years — everything from canvas, to masonite, to paper.

“With a cereal box, all of a sudden I had this very economical material

that didn’t require any setup,” he said. “Other than cutting off the sides so I could have the nice flat rectangle in the middle, it was ready to go. It didn’t need any stretching, any taping, any fuss. And it took the paint really well, especially on the glossy side.”

But painting on cereal boxes isn’t the only unconventional element to Brazell’s style.

Instead of a brush, he mostly paints with a credit card (it’s actually his old insurance card that he cut in half).

“I was just working on some paintings a few years ago and got too much paint on a piece, and I needed to take it off,” he said. “I didn’t have anything, so I found a piece of plastic ... and scraped it off. And all of a sudden, the painting was done. You know, that mistake was this beautiful red and black painting that sold a week later at the (farmer’s) market.”

But painting with the cards has taken away some flexibility and control over the artistic process. Certain curves, for instance, can’t be done well.

“I used to be very controlling as an artist, and everything had to be just right. And this has introduced less control, more flaws, more mistakes, and I’ve kind of enjoyed that,” he said. “That’s more like life, where

you’re not in control and things just happen and you’ve got to deal with it.”

Brazell is an abstract artist, sometimes painting motifs such as crosses or Y’s. But he mostly paints landscapes, which often contain horizon lines — a facet of his work that originates from growing up in Oklahoma.

“We lived on the edge of town.

And because Oklahoma’s such a rolling place — you know, it’s all hills and rolling plains — the horizon’s about a mile to two miles away in any given direction,” he said.

Brazell sells his paintings on Etsy (modernshape.etsy.com) and at Violet Hill in Logan.

He thinks his work as an artist will continue to evolve. After all, his work now is a lot different from the pencil drawings he did in high school or the structural pieces he experimented with in college at Utah State, which were full of lines and a little bit of color. His work has gotten more abstract over the years.

“This all has been a surprise. I didn’t anticipate changing thing after thing after thing. So I’m assuming it’s just going to be more change,” Brazell said. “Based on my track record, I’ll be doing something else in 10 years, except that I will be doing art.”

Music, magic show at Thatcher Mansion

By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

E

ver seen an egg appear in an empty bag? Or a card pulled out of thin air? There’s probably no doubt you’ve watched someone “magically” join rings together, or make balls switch places under cups. But have you witnessed those tricks with a live violinist playing in the background?

Or classical piano music setting the mood?

Logan deceptionist Richard Hatch, his wife, Rosemary Hatch, and son, Jonathan Hatch, have found a way to combine music, magic and history together in monthly Matinée Enchantée shows at the Thatcher Mansion in Logan, and so far they’re getting a good response.

On Saturday, May 14, the trio performed their second sold-out show for a 56-person audience. The act included both solo performances by Rosemary on the violin, Jonathan on the piano and Richard with his tricks using simple objects such as newspaper, bamboo sticks, water and sand. The Hatches also combined their talents in a few acts, with the afternoon performance having a classical feeling to it. There was no fire, bright lights or fierce animals as some magic shows may use on television or in large venues, but something about the simplicity of it all was charming.

That’s not to say the audience wasn’t blown away by the magic though.

“He’s incredible,” said Joe Larsen, of Hyrum, specifically mentioning a trick Hatch did using an egg. Two children participated on stage as the egg seemed to disappear and reappear, their faces lighting up at the end when the egg finally ended up in a bag they were holding. “The egg with the little kids was so cute. Those were cute little kids.”

Larsen came to the show with Diana Larsen of Hyrum and Virginia Harris of Smithfield. They all agreed they would suggest the event to friends in the future.

“This was nice and refreshing,” Diana said. “I’m glad to know he does a good, decent, happy show. The music was a wonderful side note. It was wonderful in its own way and it was great to have it along with the tricks.”

Throughout the act Richard told the history behind several of his tricks and magicians who have been passing down their secrets for centuries.

The cup and ball trick, for example, is the oldest continuous performed routine, Richard said, and dates back about 2,000 years. Certain hieroglyphs seem to depict the trick and Greek and Roman writers mention seeing magicians doing the same trick with different variations of objects.

“I do love the cups and balls and the rings,” Richard said. During his performance he said tricks using metal rings that magically link and unlink date back at least 1,000 years in China.

“There is classic music and classic literature and in magic those are classic effects that have been going for a long time. I like studying those.”

Richard has been a full time deceptionist since 1983. Although he studied and earned two graduate physics degrees from Yale, magic had been his lifelong obsession. Rosemary earned a master’s degree in music at Yale and has performed with several well-known musicians. She is now teaching violin lessons in Logan.

“Miss New India” is at its strongest in its examination of a nation caught between past and future, and the struggle of young people straddling the nexus of the two extremes. But, at its core, the novel functions as a bildungsroman — the coming-of-age story of Anjali Bose.
