A young soccer player participates in last weekend’s Kohl’s US Youth Soccer American Cup. More than 500 kids showed up to play in the high-quality tournament in a fun, family-like atmosphere where sportsmanship outweighed competition. The event was one of more than 60 American Cup tournaments being held all over the nation from February to December. Read more about it on Page 8. Photo by Meegan M. Reid/Herald Journal

HIS WEEK MARKED the last day of school for the kids of Cache Valley which, of course, brought to mind memories of my last days of school growing up. In my mind there was nothing better than the last day or two of school, especially high school. Days were spent outside in the sun, gossiping, lounging around, planning summer activities, signing yearbooks and throwing water balloons. It made the possibilities seem endless — weeks upon weeks of sleeping in, going swimming, lying in the sun, taking vacations, riding your bike, partying with friends, camping, barbecuing, going to Bear Lake ... I could go on forever. While summer is still my favorite

time of the year, it’s just not the same when you have to work every day. Just like the rest of the year, everything has to be planned on the weekends or around your available vacation time from work. In fact, this whole “grownup” business is a bummer sometimes. Even if you’re young, though, the time always comes to an end (way too fast, it seems), and the next thing you know you’re shopping for notebooks and pencils and trying to find something to wear the first day of school. Then suddenly you’re in class, learning about geometric properties and chemical reactions, wondering if summer will ever come back. So enjoy it while it’s here, and have a great weekend, everyone! — Jamie Baer Nielson Cache Magazine editor

Old Lyric opens season with ‘The Foreigner’ HE OLD LYRIC T Repertory Company in the Caine School of the
Arts at Utah State University will open its season Thursday, June 11, with a favorite comedy, “The Foreigner.” Other shows in rolling repertory this season are “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” “The Importance of Being Earnest” and “An Inspector Calls.” Performances run through Aug. 1 in the historic Caine Lyric Theatre, 28 W. Center St., Logan. For more information, call 797-1500 or e-mail sally. okelberry@usu.edu. Tickets range from $19 to $25; senior/youth/USU faculty staff discounts are available by calling the Caine School of the Arts Box Office at 797-8022 or 752-1500. Tickets are also available online (http://boxoffice.usu.edu) or at the door prior to performances. Directed by Adrianne Moore and starring W. Lee Daily, “The Foreigner” promises laughter and

charm, but mostly laughter, the director said. The action is set at a rustic Georgia inn and Charlie Baker (W. Lee Daily) shouldn’t have come. Charlie, a 27-year veteran proofreader for a London sciencefiction magazine, shouldn’t have left his wife Mary’s side in the hospital. Her doctors have given her just six months to live. And, despite the fact she finds Charlie,
well, boring, he shouldn’t have tagged along on a trip to the backwoods of Georgia to Betty Meeks’ (Keri Larsen) fishing lodge with his old Army buddy, demolitions expert Froggy LeSueur (Phillip Lowe), who’s conducting training sessions at a nearby military base. Terrified he will have to engage in idle conversation with Betty and the other lodge guests, the pathologi-
cally shy Charlie begs Froggy to save him from having to speak. Froggy concocts an innovative solution to the problem — he tells Betty that Charlie is a foreigner who speaks no English. Froggy departs, secure in the belief that no one will attempt to engage Charlie in conversation. Horrified at the prospect of carrying out the charade, Charlie plans to come clean. But before he can talk to Betty, Charlie overhears a painfully private conversation between the Simms Prepared Meats heiress Catherine Simms (Aubrey Campbell) and her fiancé, the Rev. David Marshall Lee (Daniel B. Thompson), and “Cha-oolee” is born. “The Foreigner” has delighted audiences for more than two decades. Originally performed to sold-out houses at Milwaukee Rep before moving to New York, Shue’s play won two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circles Awards for Best New Play and Best Off-Broadway Production.
OLRC adjusts season lineup
T
he mystery “Ghosts of Ocean House,” one of four planned productions, will be replaced by “An Inspector Calls” for the 2009 season. The change was made by Craig Jessop, who recently assumed duties as the head of USU’s theater arts department in addition to his duties heading the music department. “Following careful consideration, the decision was made to replace the production with another mystery,” Jessop said. “The new title has a broader base with the Lyric’s summer audience. In the commercial world, it is not unusual to make adjustments after a schedule is announced. This was based on economic considerations, keeping in mind our traditional summer audience.” The OLRC successfully presented “An Inspector Calls,” a mystery by J.B. Pristley, in 1993. The production opens July 9 as the fourth and final play in the OLRC rotation. It joins “The Foreigner,” opening June 11; “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” opening June 17; and “The Importance of Being Earnest,” opening July 2.

‘At Performance Hall’ to feature two events
U
The Fry Street Quartet
TAH STATE University’s scholarship benefit concert series “At the Performance Hall” enters its second week with two offerings. The award-winning Fry Street Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 8, and the Texas Children’s Choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 12. Both concerts will take place at USU’s Manon Caine Russell-Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall. Admission is $10; tickets are available in advance at the Caine School of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139B; online (http://boxoffice.usu. edu); or over the phone, 797-8022. Tickets will also be available at the door the night of the performance. The Fry Street Quartet was recently named “Instrumental Group of the Year” at the 2009 “Best of State
Awards.” The group is the only faculty quartet-inresidence in the state, and in addition to teaching duties on campus performs across the country as a professional quartet. The quartet performed last summer in the first scholarship series and returns this summer to bring light to Beethoven’s string quartets following its acclaimed and award-winning complete Beethoven Quartet Cycle presented earlier this season. Two works are planned for the evening: Beethoven’s “String Quartet in G Major, Op. 18, No. 2” and Dvorak’s “String Quartet in F Major, Op. 97” (“American”). Quartet member William Fedkenheuer said Dvorak was inspired to compose the quartet in a matter of days. Many in the audience may hear the quartet’s strains of black spirituals and plantation songs, as well as ele-
ments of American Indian music, he said. Members of the Fry Street Quartet include Fedkenheuer, violin; Rebecca McFaul, violin; Russell Fallstad, viola; and Anne Francis, cello. Since securing the Millennium Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in 2000, the Fry Street Quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to Sarajevo and Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential. The week’s second concert will feature the Texas Children’s Choir. The USU campus is a stop on the choir’s tour that includes several performances in Utah. The choir is based in San Antonio and includes boys and girls ages 8 to 15. For information about the series, call 797-3015.

Film New this week “Land of the Lost” Rated PG-13 ★ There is exactly one funny bit here, and it stands out because it comes at the very beginning and the very end. Will Ferrell, as arrogant scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, appears on the “Today” show to discuss his time-travel theories and pimp out his latest book. Matt Lauer, thinking he’s a crackpot, interviews him with unmistakabale disdain and chafes at Marshall’s attempts to hijack the segment. In between, though, is an awkward combination of kitschy comedy (which is never amusing) and earnest action (which is never thrilling). And it’s not as if the source material was worthy of a bigbudget summer blockbuster starring an A-lister. The Sid & Marty Krofft TV series “Land of the Lost,” about a family that gets sucked into a prehistoric age when an earthquake hits while they’re rafting, aired for just three seasons in the mid-1970s. It was laughable with its stiff dialogue and low-tech effects. At least the series knew what it was, though. Working from a script by Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas (though Ferrell and co-star Danny McBride clearly did a healthy amount of ad-libbing), director Brad Silberling can’t seem to decide whether he’s making fun of the show’s cheesy visuals or seizing on its sense of rough-hewn adventure. And so in hopes of pleasing the lowest common denominator nonetheless, they offer an overload of jokes about dinosaur poop and urine. Danny McBride and Anna Friel co-star as Will and Holly, with “Saturday Night Live” writer Jorma Taccone as the mischievous primate Chaka. PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and for language including a drug reference. 93 min.
Still playing “Up” Rated PG ★★★1⁄2 The title is deceptively simple, which is fitting, because the latest achievement from Pixar Animation is deeper and more complex on every level than it would initially appear.
It’s a classic B-movie exotic adventure, the kind that inspired Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to make “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” but it’s told through the most high-tech, gorgeous 3-D animation. It’s a mismatched buddy comedy, the kind we’ve seen countless times before, but the buddies are a curmudgeonly 78-year-old man and a tubby 8-year-old boy — who wind up together in a flying house, traveling to South America. And, as with many family films that get pumped out each summer, it has talking dogs. But it’s how the dogs talk and what they say that are truly inspired, and oddly realistic. Pete Docter (Pixar’s “Monsters, Inc.”) and co-director and writer Bob Peterson turn their imagination this time to human
beings, rare creatures in the animated kingdom. But between the richness of the characters, the meatiness of their interaction and the authenticity of the details, it won’t take you long to forget that “Up” is a cartoon and become immersed. Ed Asner is the perfect choice to voice the cranky widower Carl Fredricksen, who ties thousands of helium balloons to his house and takes to the skies, with endearing newcomer Jordan Nagai playing the overeager Scout who’s trapped on his front porch. PG for some peril and action. 90 min. “Drag Me to Hell” Rated PG-13 ★★★1⁄2 The name alone tells you exactly what this is — an unabashed celebration of B-
movie schlockery — but the dichotomies director Sam Raimi presents within that familiar genre are what make this such a kick. Raimi returns to the kind of cheeky horror that made him a cult favorite with the low-budget “Evil Dead” trilogy, but he applies all the high-tech tricks he’s acquired with the blockbuster “Spider-Man” trilogy. He and brother Ivan Raimi have written a rather old-fashioned terror tale, full of curses and creaks, bumps and shrieks, but they’ve added a heavy splattering of their trademark dark humor. (Some of the absurdly funny visual gags include creative uses for office supplies, a talking goat and an unsuspecting kitty.) All these contradictions add up to one hell of a ride:
You’ll squirm, you’ll scream, you’ll laugh your butt off and beg for more. Alison Lohman’s character, the innocent Christine Brown, gets more than she ever could have imagined. A bank loan officer competing for a promotion, she denies a creepy old woman an extension on her mortgage loan, thinking that’s the right decision to impress her boss (David Paymer). Turns out she turned down the wrong customer: Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) is a vengeful gypsy who feels so shamed, she places a powerful curse on Christine that torments her day and night. PG13 for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language. 99 min. — All reviews by The Associated Press
HAVE TWO RULES in life. Wait, scratch that — I have more than two rules. I have lots of rules. Stuff like “only kick cats if I see them using my sandbox for a bathroom” or “sugar-free Red Bull makes even the saddest of days bright” or “white bread, bologna and lots of mayo is always a good idea” and “it’s OK to not shower on Saturdays and spend the entire day playing ‘Guitar Hero’ on the XBOX 360.” That said, for the sake of brevity and for this review, I want to tell you about two really important Andy laws. The first is pretty simple: Screenings of irreverent, arguably tasteless dude comedies full of potty talk and extreme behavior are reserved for “man nights” only. In case you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a man night, this is when the gents get together to eat junk, burp, pass copious amounts of gas and view any and all televised sports, play video games and watch “guy movies.” No ladies are ever allowed and bringing one brands you as a traitor to the establishment of Manland. My last rule is more serious and is actually more of a question: Why, in the name of all that is good and decent, would any person bring their child — specifically a kid younger than 10 years of age — to a movie that is rated R? Not only rated R, but one that is rated R for “pervasive language, sexual content including nudity, and some drug material.” I’ll tell you the answer: Because they

are an idiot. I’m no prude, but exposing your child to adult content is nothing short of abuse. Period. End of story. So there you have it. Three paragraphs into my review and you know “The Hangover” isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s directed by Todd Phillips, who scored a surprise hit with “Old School” (2003) then took a drive down mediocre street with “Starsky & Hutch” (2004) and “School for Scoundrels” (2006). “The Hangover” is a return to form for Phillips, as I think his last two movies revealed to him that the gap between PG-13 and R-rated comedy, while littered with double entendres and innuendo, is pretty wide. Phillips’ twisted stories are best suited
for an unrestrained paint palette and that’s just what you get with “The Hangover” — a fastpaced, massively uncensored trip to Vegas by four ordinary fellows with a penchant for salty, unsavory behavior. Doug (Justin Bartha), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Stu (Ed Helms) and Phil (Bradley Cooper) are the dudes in question, all middle-aged men with issues and problems, heading to Las Vegas to celebrate Doug’s impending marriage to Tracy (Sasha Barrese) in two day’s
time. We learn a lot about the crew on their drive from Los Angeles to Sin City. We see Doug is a goodnatured guy and appears to be the peacemaker of the foursome, while Phil is more of the opinionated instigator, accepting of crazy behavior (but not of dumb decision-making), something he pins on Phil the entire movie. Poor Phil is dating the spawn of Satan as far as
girlfriends go. She’s controlling and abusive, so much so that Phil has to lie about their trip, telling her the group is going to Napa Valley for a wine-tasting excursion. And Alan, Doug’s soon-to-be brother-in-law, is a happy-go-lucky airhead, and possible sex offender, with a striking beard that is nothing short of glorious and amazing. Shots of Jägermeister and several roofies (the date-rape drug), along with copious amounts of other alcohol, render the events of Vegas a literal haze. The next morning Stu is missing a tooth, Alan has no pants and discovers a tiger in the bathroom and Doug is missing. Not only that, but there is a baby in the room and the group’s Mercedes convertible, one belonging to Doug’s father-in-law, has been replaced by a Las Vegas Police squad car. Phil, Alan and Stu, a little worried that Doug could be lying dead somewhere, See FAINT on p.14

the sports drink, Powerade, was given away for free. “I was actually commenting to my family, ‘This is better than the Cache County Fair,’” Mora said. “Honestly, there’s a lot of excitement going on everywhere and it’s contagious. “The thing I’ve liked most, I’ve seen the kids have a lot of fun. They’re not playing under any type of stress whatsoever. They like the game and I think that makes a big difference.” There was no doubt in Baldwin’s mind of what his favorite thing to do was at the Kohl’s American Cup. “Play soccer,” the youngster said.
Last Saturday’s event was one of more than 60 Kohl’s American Cup tournaments being hosted all over the nation from February to December. The program was started in 2000 as an avenue to highlight recreational soccer players and promote fair play. Players receive equal opportunities and benefits within their level of play, with an emphasis on participation and not competition. A record 68 teams — ranging from U6 to U14 — registered for the event in Hyrum. Four teams from Sandy backed out at the last minute. “I believe the (previous high) was just over 50 — it was 51 or 52 teams,” Hay-
cock said. The teams, which consisted of around eight players each, played at least three games during the tournament. There were 14 fields — 40 yards by 20 yards with a penalty arc (like you see in hockey) located in front of the small goals — set up around the soccer complex. Each game, which was four-on-four, consisted of two 12-minute halves with a fiveminute halftime. Players were required to get at least 12 minutes of playing time. “It’s really set up to make it as least competitive as possible,” Haycock said. Sportsmanship is a must. If teams wanted to qualify for championship matches, they had to display good sportsmanship. A sportsmanship point was awarded to the teams by the referees at the end of each game. In his experience at the tournament, Mora said he saw nothing but good sportsmanship. Haycock was grateful to Hyrum for being such a good host. “Hyrum city has been fantastic about hosting the event,” she said. “They’ve been very good to work with. They’re not charging us; that’s their sponsorship. “They’ve been awesome to work with and that’s been a real positive for us, and that’s one of the reasons why we moved.”

Quilt Festival opening in Brigham City
A
QUILT FESTIVAL will take place June 10 through Aug. 1 at the Brigham City Museum-Gallery, 24 N. 300 West. Featured art quilter will be Judith Tomlinson Trager of Longmont, Colo. The festival will also feature quilts by Marta Amundson of Riverton, Wyo.; Kazuko Covington of Irvine, Calif.; Jinny Lee Snow of Salt Lake City; Marilyn Fashbaugh of Clinton, Utah; and other artists from Northern Utah. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. For more information, call 435723-6769. Judith Tomlinson Trager looked at quilting with a fresh pair of eyes at age 6. She describes with joy learning how to quilt from her mother and her six aunts during a summer vacation in Brigham City and nearby Mantua. There would be similar vacations throughout the years. Trager was born and raised in California; her mother, Mary Elfreda Nelson Tomlinson, grew up in Mantua. Because of early family influences and her innovative spirit, Trager has become a worldclass art quilter with 13 solo exhibitions since 1990. She has
“Vermillion Cliffs” by Judith Tomlinson Trager also curated 14 quilt shows in the past 20 years with five touring nationally. Approximately 15 of Trager’s quilts will be on display. All of her quilts are composed using cotton and silk. She uses a nontraditional log cabin technique
to piece the background then begins to layer the quilt using paint, silk fabrics, embroidery, stamping, silk screening, beading or any other technique that fits her purpose. Her works are machine quilted and oftentimes machine appliqued.
Trager’s pieces have also sweetened the lives of others. A few years ago she received a call from a nurse at a hospital where one of her quilts was hanging. The nurse, who worked in surgery, was calling to tell Trager she often went
outside the surgical suite on her breaks and stood by her quilt because it gave her solace and provided calm in a stressful atmosphere. The artist says she has devised many quilts for health care facilities. Patrons have experienced Trager’s works in such solo shows as “Plastic Flowers in a Mexican Graveyard” in Bethesda, Md.; and “Narrative Quilts” in Denver, Colo. Her “Sabbath in the Old City” quilt is in a private collection in The Netherlands after being on view in the American Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, as part of the exhibit “Roots of Racism.” Trager has made a significant contribution to the art world by curating quilt shows, specifically “Elements from the Front Range Contemporary Quilters,” “Don’t Fence Me In” and “Rooted in Tradition: Art Quilts from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum,” all of which have toured nationally. Her next show, “America Celebrates! Quilts of Joy and Remembrance,” will travel in 2011. Trager has also completed a number of quilt series, namely “Seasons and Bosque del Apache.” When she’s not quilting, Trager is rafting, traveling and hanging out with family.

Answers from last week there-done-that boredom is high. And sadly, I got a little worn out toward the end. It’s the classic running-out-of-steam and failing to out-top the previous hilarity that costs “The Hangover” an extra star. Honestly, that’s too bad, because the most funny parts of “The Hangover” are the portions vested in some unspeakable truth, something we all know is true but that we’d never repeat in polite company. In the end, “The Hangover,” despite some small flaws, is nothing short of hilarious. Bradley Cooper and the rest of the no-name cast does a great job, but I tip my hat to Ed Helms, whom many will
recognize from television’s “The Office” and “The Daily Show,” and to semi-newcomer Zach Galifianakis. Those two actors are the driving force behind the fresh comedy and zingy wit throughout the 100-minute movie.
