O

VER THE PAST couple of years, we’ve had a lot of trouble with the online version of Cache Magazine — there are no archives, our columnists have a hard time downloading copies for their portfolios, people can’t find the link at www.hjnews. com, etc., etc.

But we’ve finally found a solution, and I thought I’d use this space to tell you a little bit about it.

If you go to www. issuu.com/CacheMagazine, you’ll find an online gallery of published magazines. You can view them as “actual” magazines with pages that really turn.

You can zoom in and read stories, imbed the images on your blog or Facebook page, comment on different things

Slow Wave

jbaer@hjnews.com

and more. And soon there will also be a link to this Web site at The Herald Journal’s main page.

Keep in mind, though, that right now this is a work in progress. The goal is to post all Cache Magazines published so far in 2009 and, of course, each week the current issue will be available to view.

Here’s what Issuu.com is, in its own words: “Issuu (pronounced ‘issue’) is a dedicated team who strive for excellence in online publishing. Our product and services are based on providing instant gratification for people, businesses and publishers. In essence, we reduce some of the frustration associated with publishing on the Internet. ...”

So log on, check it out and leave me a comment. I’d love to know what you think. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Four Hims to perform at Logan tabernacle

T

HE CONCERT and Lecture Series at the Tabernacle will present the barbershop quartet Four Hims at 7 p.m. Friday, June 12, at the Logan LDS Tabernacle. Admission is free and everyone is invited.

The Four Hims originated when four guys — none of whom were particularly athletic, handsome, smart or outgoing — were sitting around during the 1980s

wondering how they could attract girls.

By sheer and inexplicable coincidence, all four of the Four Hims were born in Logan and have the same last name: Edwards. David generally sings bass because when he has a cold he can go a note or two lower than the other guys; Alan sings lead because of an accident he had as a child; Farrell sings high tenor because he can’t figure out mid-

dle harmonies; and John sings baritone because he’s the youngest and has to do what the other guys say.

When they get tired of singing the Hims pick up stray instruments or create sounds from their own bodies, most of which are pleasantly inoffensive, but a few of which have been shown under laboratory conditions to startle frogs at 50 yards. You have been warned.

Film Still playing “The Hangover” Rated R ★★1⁄2 You’d be forgiven for thinking this is a documentary.

After all, who hasn’t woken up in a trashed Las Vegas hotel suite with a missing tooth, a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet and little or no memory of what happened the night before? Director Todd Phillips and screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore take this idea to bold new heights — or depths, depending on your perspective — with a comedy that stays weird and wild for the first two-thirds, only to disappoint in the final act. Structurally, though, it’s based on a clever concept: Three guys take their buddy Doug (Justin Bartha) to Vegas for a bachelor party right before his wedding. When they wake up the morning after their debauched bacchanal, they realize the groom is missing — and that’s only the beginning of their trouble. As they nurse their pounding heads and retrace their steps, they stumble down an increasingly absurd, and surprisingly dark, path. And because it all turns out to be so unpredictable, we feel like we’re solving a mystery right along with them. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis make a believably motley trio, with Galifianakis in particular stealing many moments with a performance that’s a fascinating balance of creepy and endearing. But Ken Jeong, veteran of many a Judd Apatow production, is stuck in a role that’s a distasteful (and unfunny) stereotype of both Asians and gays. R for pervasive language, sexual content including nudity and some drug material. 99 min.

“Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” Rated PG ★★ This is one of those sequels in which “bigger” is supposed to mean “better,” in which more characters, more sight gags and more adventures are supposed to add up to more fun.

They don’t. The follow-up to the enormous 2006 hit “Night at the Museum” heaps on the historical figures and crams them into

New this week!

not one but two museums, with the end result feeling crazed, scattered and desperate. So many new characters have been added to the ones who appeared in the original film, and director Shawn Levy flits between them at such a zippy pace, no one gets much of a chance to register. And that’s a huge waste of the comic talents amassed among the cast.

Besides returning stars Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan and Robin Williams, now we have Amy Adams, Hank Azaria, Christopher Guest, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader. Having said all that, kids are the primary targets for a lot of the visuals, and will probably enjoy themselves. Stiller gets smacked around by two capuchin monkeys this time, and the T-Rex skeleton that acts like a playful pup should provoke some giggles. Stiller, as former night guard Larry Daley, returns to Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History and discovers that the friends who came to life in the middle of the night are being shipped off to storage at the Smithsonian in Washington. And so he must step into action and save them, while also battling the Egyptian ruler Kahmunrah (Azaria), who has awaked from a 3,000-year slumber with plans to take over the museum, and the world. PG for mild action and brief language. 105 min.

“Imagine That” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 The words “Eddie Murphy family comedy” are enough to send shivers down the spine of any self-respecting film lover. Between “Meet Dave,” “The Haunted Mansion” and “Daddy Day Care,” he doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record with this genre, at least in terms of quality (box-office success can be an entirely different and often baffling phenomenon). Which is what makes “Imagine That” such a pleasant surprise. It’s based on a clever premise and it makes good use of Murphy’s comic strengths — singing, dancing and creating myriad voices and personalities — without letting him go overboard and get too obnoxious. Its feel-good revelations are predictable, yes, but it only really turns sappy toward the very end. And it offers an irresistible young co-star in newcomer Yara Shahidi, who very much “Terminator Salvation” Rated PG-13 ★★ We have seen the future, and the future is noisy. This fourth flick in the “Terminator” saga takes place in 2018, 14 years after Judgment Day. John Connor is a rising force in the resistance against Skynet, the artificial intelligence network that started thinking for itself and eradicating humanity, but he has yet to become its leader. He has seen destruction and listened to the recordings left by his mother that foretell his future, but he has yet to send anyone back in time in hopes of stopping it, including the man who will become his father. (You def-

holds her own as Murphy’s daughter without being too cutesy or cloying. Murphy stars as Evan Danielson, a Denverbased financial executive who barely has time for his 7-year-old, Olivia. Estranged from his wife (Nicole Ari Parker), Evan is stuck watching Olivia for a few days but has no idea what to do with her, so he ignores her and instead focuses on his computer screens and constant phone calls. But she’s paying attention to everything he says and does — and so are the princesses, Olivia’s imaginary friends. Somehow, the princesses come up with advice on which stocks daddy should buy and sell — and somehow, they’re always right. When Evan gives in and starts following their suggestions, he becomes a superstar at work — and naturally, learns to loosen up at home and have a little fun with his daughter in the process. PG for some mild language and brief questionable behavior. 107 min.

initely need to have seen the first three movies to have a clue as to what’s going on here, and why certain details matter.

This is no time to play catch-up.

Being a fan also helps.) Director McG, of the “Charlie’s Angels” movies and “We Are Marshall,” drops into this well-established lore and presents a post-apocalyptic world that is repetitively bleak and relentlessly loud. Yes, the machines have taken over, and so of course there’s going to be a healthy amount of clanging, crunching metal — but even things that shouldn’t be noisy, like the lighting of a flare, sound like a rocket launch. And Christian Bale steps into the role of

John Connor, played previously

by Edward Furlong and Nick Stahl, and he ... well, he does the same voice he uses when he dons the black suit for the “Batman” movies, a monotone, guttural growl regardless of the dialogue. John must find and protect his future father, Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), while trying to determine whether to trust the mysterious Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to help in this quest. PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language.

HE WAY THE original 1974 filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title has been condensed tells you everything you need to know about the direction â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3â&#x20AC;? is headed. In these fast-paced, mixed-up times, it simply takes too long to spell out the numbers.

Then again, just knowing the director is Tony Scott (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top Gun,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man on Fire,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominoâ&#x20AC;?) is a major indicator of the changes in store. A low-key, steadily paced thriller about a New York subway hijacking has been amped up with Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark acrobatics: incessant camera movement, sped-up footage that jarringly cuts to slo-mo, seizure-inducing edits and a blaring soundtrack.

Considering that you have heavyweights Denzel Washington and John Travolta squaring off, with a script from Oscarwinner Brian Helgeland (â&#x20AC;&#x153;L.A. Confidentialâ&#x20AC;?), you just want to scream at the screen for Scott to settle down and let the exchanges play out for themselves. For the brief moments he does just that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3â&#x20AC;? can be a tense, engaging battle of wits, despite its preposterous premise.

Inspired as the original was by the John Godey novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pelhamâ&#x20AC;? stars Travolta as Ryder, the leader of a group of baddies who take over a downtown 6 train.

He demands $10 million in one hour (up from $1 million in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;74) or heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start killing the passengers. Washington (in the Walter Matthau role) plays Walter Garber, the dispatcher on the other end of the microphone who must listen/probe/stall/cajole as a de

Aisle Seat

Rated R

facto crisis manager.

Washington brings his typical grace to this rare regular-guy role, and the script fleshes out his character this time with an undercurrent of moral ambiguity that offers some welcome context. And while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to see Travolta make the part more of a live-wire than Robert Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understated villain, he also gets shrieky in a way that recalls his performance in the infamous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battlefield Earth.â&#x20AC;?

Luis Guzman gets practically nothing to do as a member of Ryderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posse, a former subway motorman, and the other two guys barely register. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amusing to see James Gandolfini,

element provides a neat twist as the story unfolds and adds to the ways Ryder and Garber can provoke and eventually understand each other.

But the prevalence of technology also makes the crime itself seem rather archaic. This is the way a criminal mastermind steals millions of dollars today, by hijacking a subway train? Granted, it is tempting to do something rash after repeatedly hearing that annoying recorded voice urging you to stand clear of the closing doors, but there have to be more efficient plans than this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,â&#x20AC;? a Columbia Pictures and MGM release, is rated R for violence and pervasive language. Running time: 106 minutes. Two stars out of four.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pelhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an overcaffeinated thriller

Artwork by Eric Dowdle E

ric Dowdle was in Nauvoo, Ill., last summer doing prep work for a painting he’d been commissioned to create when he decided to do some sightseeing there.

It was then he saw an opportunity.

“I went through all the tours and I realized there wasn’t enough information — or art — to really tell the story of the pioneers,” he said.

So the Utah artist spent the week in the little city that was built up in the 1840s by the LDS Church taking photographs and composing sketches of the 24 buildings that are part of the Nauvoo tour.

All 24 paintings will be on display Friday, June 12, in downtown Logan as part of the Gallery Walk. It will be the first time the series has been publicly unveiled, and the event is sponsored by the Needham family.

Dowdle, famous for his folk art pieces (and within Cache Valley for his three paintings of Logan at different seasons and from various locations), worked on the Nauvoo series from January through May in his studio in Utah. The Lindon resident said he completes most of his work off-site, using photographs and drawings to aid in his painting.

All of the pieces in this series are 9 by 11 inches, and Dowdle said five puzzles will be available.

His Nauvoo pieces each tell different stories, including details carefully researched by Dowdle.

They include famous buildings, such as Brigham Young’s and Heber C. Kimball’s homes and Joseph Smith’s Mansion house, as well as structures necessary for a town to function: the gunshop, blacksmith shop, drug store and post office. Other paintings

Nauvoo series 24 paintings

focus on church-central buildings like the Seventies Hall, Nauvoo Temple and Cultural Hall.

Dowdle calls it a “light, fluffy, loose interpretation of Nauvoo.”

“I wanted to do a fun folk setting during the period, which was really only about eight months, when they were pretty happy and when it looked like they might even stay in Nauvoo,” he said of the early Mormons.

Dowdle’s folk art career was

launched in the mid-1990s, shortly before he painted “Logan Summer,” which features an oldtime downtown, the LDS temple and tabernacle, Old Main and several houses.

It’s a genre that fits him, he says.

“Folk art is about community,” he said. “It’s about patriotism; it’s about religion. I’m from a big family — 12 kids — and I didn’t even realize I was raised and

** Story by Emilie H. Wheeler **

born to be a folk artist.

“For me to tell a story of a city and the people involved — it just comes natural.”

He calls the experience after completing the original Logan piece “the first taste of success that I’ve really had,” but his career was already taking off.

Dowdle’s collection of artwork now includes more than 40 pieces representing scenes in Utah, nearly two dozen “Americana” paintings, an Amish series, a handful of representations of international cities, several paintings of American cities and even a sports collection.

Dowdle calls himself “lucky” in his timing of deciding to be an artist.

“I started my career right when the purchasing of art was ramping up in Utah,” he said. “There are so many great Utah artists now.”

Since completing the “Olsen Park” piece, which features the Logan LDS Temple behind a crowd of skaters under a moon-lit sky, Dowdle said that particular painting has been popular outside of Utah for its nostalgic beauty.

“When I go and travel the rest of the country I bring that Olsen Park and put it on display,” he said. “I will tell them it’s an actual place, and they don’t care.

They buy it anyway. They don’t care when I tell them it’s a Mormon temple, either.”

His work has taken him outside the U.S., as well. Currently, Dowdle is working on a collection of Kenya pieces.

The artist will be in Cache Valley this coming weekend for Logan’s Summerfest Arts Faire, where his new work will be available. Dowdle says he won’t take even one sale lightly.

“I don’t even take a puzzle sale for granted,” he said.

Wines take a hit with unstable economy

L

IKE OTHER sectors of the world economy, wines are taking a hit. Here are two recent headlines from the Wine Spectator: “U.S. Wineries Wrestle with Recession” and “Hard Times for Overseas Wineries.”

American vintners are finally realizing that high-priced wines do not sell in this environment.

The breaking point seems to be in the $15 to $20 range. The sales of lower-priced premium wines are holding up quite well, and the consumption of wine in the U.S. is still growing. High-priced wines are taking the biggest hit.

Within Utah we are somewhat isolated from the swing in prices due to the state monopoly. The shipments of champagne to the U.S. have dropped 21 percent in 2008 after big increases in the previous two years, while Italian exports fell by 7 percent. The biggest hit seems to be taken

by Australia, which has seen the value of exports to the U.S. drop by 26 percent after 15 years of growth. The big winner has been Argentina with a growth of 43 percent in exports to the U.S. Not only me, but many of the experts are asking who is buying those expensive cabernet sauvignon, merlot and chardonnay wines.

There are some great 2007 zinfandels out there, but they will not be seen in Utah. Carlisle and Hartford are two of the top producers, but there is no listing for any of their zinfandel wines. While I have never seen a Carlisle wine here, we did have some of the great 2004 Hartford Zinfandel Russian River a couple of years ago. The only highly rated zinfandel available locally has been the 2007 Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma at $19.99, but it will soon be unavailable. It has never been clear to me how the DABC buys wine; there are so many outstanding wines that never appear on our shelves.

Summer is almost here and wines that taste best are those that should be served chilled, such as white, rosé and Beaujolais wines. For a white wine I suggest the 2008 Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at $15.99. This is one of the best sauvignon blanc wines available with tropical fruit and spicy flavors typical of New Zealand wines.

The 2008 Da Vinci Pinot Grigio at $12.99 is a new addition in the Italian section. Although the winery is located near Vinci in Tuscany, the grapes for this wine come from the mountains of northeast Italy. The wine is a blend with some late-harvest

Cache Wines

Recommended F 2007 Seghesio Zinfandel

By William Moore

grapes to increase the flavor of tropical fruits.

For a rosé wine I like the 2008 Crios de Susana Balbo Rosé of Malbec at $11.99. I call this a bold, dry rosé with 14 percent alcohol and a spicy cherry flavor. Rated 90 by the Wine Advocate, it is pure Malbec and made by traditional methods that impart more flavor to the wine. Looking back to last year I notice the 2007 vintage sold for $9.99. I think this price increase reflects the increased popularity and quality of Argentina wines.

Sonoma at $19.99 F 2008 Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at $15.99 F 2008 Da Vinci Pinot Grigio at $12.99 F 2008 Crios de Susana Balbo Rosé of Malbec at $11.99 F 2007 Borsao Rosé at $6.99 F 2007 Brouilly Domaine de Grand Croix Beaujolais at $14.99 F 2007 Morgon Flower Label Beaujolais at $12.99 F 2005 Capcanes Mas Donis Barrica at $12.99 F 2007 Bernard Cotes du Rhone-Villages at $9.99

I encourage you to try the other Crios wines in the Argentina section. Another flavorful and cheaper wine is the 2007 Borsao Rosé at $6.99 from Spain. This dry wine is rated 87 by the Wine Advocate and contains 14 percent alcohol.

Like many French rosé wines, the Spanish Borsao is made from 100 percent grenache.

As for Beaujolais wines, my recommendation remains the same as last month. The

2007 Brouilly Domaine de Grand Croix Beaujolais at $14.99 and the 2007 Morgon Flower Label Beaujolais at $12.99 are products of Georges Duboeuf. Both of these wines are rated 89 by the Wine Advocate. I found them to be delicate and floral at 13 percent alcohol.

A meal with red meat still requires a good red wine. A longtime favorite with me is the 2005 Capcanes Mas Donis Barrica at $12.99. This exceptional value from Spain, at a rating of 91, is 85 percent grenache blended with syrah and stored in oak for nine months. Also a blend of 75 grenache with syrah, but not stored in oak, is the 2007 Bernard Cotes du Rhone-Villages at $9.99. While not at the level of the Mas Donis, this wine is one of the few Rhone wines we see locally. You should try them both and see how you like this blended red wine.

HE THING YOU immediately miss when you travel outside the West is your visual compass.

Once you figure out which mountain range is west and which is east you are pretty much set for any Western travel.

Navigation of Utah is even easier because nearly all addresses are a combination of numbers and compass headings.

Once you get east of the Rockies, everything gets sort of lost in a jumble of forests, low hills and streets named after presidents and trees. Living on 643 Magnolia near the corner of Jefferson may sound historic and cute, but there is a drawback when it comes to actually finding that place. Locals are of little help.

“It’s easy to find; it’s right near where the old Walgreens was and just around the corner from the Wal-Mart store,” they say. Never mind there is a Walgreens on every corner and every Wal-Mart looks the same.

My Midwest travel anxiety was cured when Karyn came into my life. Karyn has given me confidence and direction … literally. She has a small yet forceful personality and knows how to navigate any city street or highway in the United States.

So long as I keep her batteries charged and allow her a clear view of the sky, she can lead me anywhere.

Karyn is a little metallic sounding but she is forceful and decisive. If I do take a wrong turn, there is no deep disgusted sigh; she just says “recalculating” and plots another route.

No matter how many mistakes I make she never loses her temper with me.

That said, she is not without her flaws. She has a tough time with the inflection and pronunciation of some words such as “Ladue.” And, at highway speeds, she sometimes does not give me enough notice to safely make my turn.

Karyn is the Australian/English voice on my GPS trip navigator. I have several voices to

Slightly Off Center

By Dennis Hinkamp

choose from, such as Frank the standard North American English and Janet his female counterpart. Though my navigator does not have this option, I have heard you can buy other such devices with celebrity voices.

You could have Mr. T yell directions at you, “fool!” Maybe you could get a sports announcer like John Madden to plot out your turns yelling “boom!” on each maneuver and you could hear the crowd roar when you arrive at your destination. There are a few sultry-voiced actresses I could think of employing but they could easily cause me to run off the road as I imagined they were actually in the car with me.

For now I will be true to Karyn. Like the perfect vacation fling, she is exotic and I don’t really have to know anything about what she is like is real life. I love my trips with Karyn.

New exhibit spotlights cowboy poetry collection HONOR OF THE Iing’sNNational Cowboy Poetry Gather25th anniversary, USU’s Mer-

rill-Cazier Library will host “Books and Buckaroos: USU’s Cowboy Poetry Collection,” an exhibit highlighting examples from USU’s extensive cowboy poetry collection held

by Special Collections and Archives.

The exhibit opens June 15 and continues through Sept. 21 in the foyer area on the first floor of the library.

Admission is free.

Mid-winter, between the roundup in the fall and calving in the spring, ranch folk and those interested in cowboy poetry and prose travel to Elko, Nev., to participate in the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. The 2009 event marked the gathering’s 25th anniversary, and following a long tradition, USU was represented.

Here are some examples of pins from the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. These pins are often collected and worn at the gathering, much like the popular Olympic pins.

Since the first gathering, USU’s library has been a part of the action through its Cowboy Poetry Book Collection. The collection was found at the gathering in the coat-check room

of the Elko Convention Center.

“Since the first gathering in 1985, these books and their caretakers travel to Elko to help gathering participants locate a favorite poem or consult a rare S. Omar Barker cowboy poetry book,” said USU’s Fife Folklore Curator, Randy Williams.

“The exhibit will display posters from all 25 years, as well as gathering pins and booklets, in addition to rare cowboy poetry books from the library’s collection,” he said.

USU’s cowboy poetry collection was originally assembled through a grant from the L.J. and Mary C. Skaggs Foundation. The collection supports and assisted the development of the gathering.

“The Hourglass Door”

by Lisa Mangum (Shadow Mountain, 2009, $18.95)

Regional Reads

T

HIS BOOK HAS been available since May 13, so it is just now hitting the shelves of your favorite bookstore. Fans of Stephanie Meyers’ “Twilight” series will love this first-time author. An English major who obviously knows her classics, she draws on Dante’s “Inferno,” Shakespeare and others to weave a wonderful story of mystery and romance. Mangum knows how to write a romantic encounter that makes even my 60-plus-year-old heart flutter and her mastery of metaphor and simile are without parallel. Written for the younger set, they may have to fight Grandma for first crack at this book.

Sweet, smart, girl-next-door American girl Abby seems to have it all. She has a great (although thoroughly predictable) boyfriend she’s known since childhood, a plethora of friends and a bright future ahead of her as she waits to receive her acceptance letter for college. Then enters Dante, an unpredictable, charming, Italian exchange student who soon captures her heart.

As soon as he enters the story in Chapter 2, the “Twilight” reader cannot help comparing this marvelous creature to Edward. However, as much as he is like Edward, he is not, I repeat, not a vampire. But Italian, 17 years old, dreamboat — I knew at once this charming guy was going to bring not only romance but also danger and mystery to our young heroine.

Among Leonardo Da Vinci’s many inventions was a time machine, capable of transporting forward in time. Dante is one of those timeless beings who has been portaled more than 500 years into the future, but he is not alone and, unfortunately, those who have come with him are dangerous, and as weird unexplainable events start to happen to her friends and herself, she and Dante join forces to try to save the sanity and safety of her friends. Although all of the visitors would like to return home, the Hourglass Door will only open

By Charlene Hirschi

one way. They are stuck in time.

Abby accidentally discovers that she has powers she never dreamed up. Perhaps even the power to open the portal, which puts her in even more danger of Dante’s treacherous companions.

Of course, the author leaves us with a cliff-hanger, which will make waiting for the sequel in summer 2010 agony for the reader, but will give us something to look forward to in the meantime.

“How to Build a Dinosaur” by Jack Horner and James Gorman (Dutton, 2009, $24.95) This book soon convinced me that science really can be stranger than fiction.

Montana paleontologist Jack Horner is convinced that the chicken and a lot of DNA magic can re-create a dinosaur and before you shake your head and scoff, you better read his book. The subtitle is “Extinction Doesn’t Have to Be Forever.”

Hmmm, that’s a scary thought.

However, as Horner walks us through the evidence it becomes more and more plausible based on research and a relatively new field of paleontology called molecular paleobiology. “So how do we build a dinosaur? One way is to start with a simple chicken egg and biochemically nudge the embryo this way and that until what hatches has a tail, teeth and forearms instead of wings.

Behold: Chickenosaurus.”

At one time, paleontology consisted of digging up bones and trying to reconstruct them into their proper order to see what dinosaurs looked like; we’ve all seen the pictures and probably even visited a museum or two

but to add credibility to Horner’s stature in the world of science and paleontology, he was the expert consultant for the movies. I started as a skeptic and came away a believer in at least the possibility.

that had such a skeleton on display. However, with the discovery of soft tissue dating back 68 million years, several windows of possibility have opened up. The object of study, which has been affectionately dubbed B. Rex, was found by one of Horner’s colleagues in the Hell Creek Formation east of Bozeman, Mont.

Horner reminds us that science is not about answers, but about questions. The more we know or think we know, the more questions become apparent that need answered. He is absolutely convinced it is possible to manipulate DNA in the lab and create (not clone) a small dinosaur. If you are like me, you probably thought dinosaurs came in one size: huge.

But this book not only opens the mind to the possibilities of this research, but to the history of this earth and the animals that walked it millions of years ago.

No matter what your stand may be on evolution, this book is a totally captivating read. The fossil evidence is intriguing, the writing is superb and the topic is spellbinding. With the help of science writer James Gorman, the topic, which could be heavy and boring, ignites the imagination with the possibilities. He also assures the reader they will never create a “Jurassic Park” disaster as recounted in Michael Crichton’s book and Spielberg’s movies.

That was pure science fiction,

“Torn Apart” by Diony George (Bonneville Books, 2009, $17.99) Based on the true-life story of the author, we are reminded once again of the pernicious nature of pornography. A forward by Richard Paul Evans reads: “Pornography is a trap that is distorting truth, clouding minds and damaging whomever it touches.” While the book deals with a dark secret, it is not a dark read. As a reader I came away educated and sympathetic to the characters in the book, even the husband who was caught up in the web of deceit and lies.

Alyson is a few weeks shy of 17 when she meets the handsome Jared. A returned missionary with dark secrets, Alyson has some doubts about Jared from the beginning. The age difference and his sometimes compulsive, unexplained behavior make her wonder if this is really the right person for her. But eventually he wins her over, and they are married in the Salt Lake temple.

The trouble begins on their honeymoon night, when Alyson presents Jared with a letter she had written years before at a youth conference. “At the end of the (class on dating), the teacher challenged each youth to write a letter to their future spouse, to make the person more real. The premise was that over the dating years, the letter could help guide their choices. When they found the person they would marry,

nothing in their past would cast a shadow over the relationship.

He told them to keep the letter somewhere safe and on their wedding night, present it to their spouse before going to bed.”

Alyson is shocked and hurt when Jared reads the innermost feelings of her heart and withdraws from her, emotionally and physically. Instead of bringing them closer together, she has unwittingly triggered the guilt that will follow them for the next several years of their marriage.

Her total innocence and love for Jared become a constant reminder of his own unworthiness.

It is not unusual for someone with a serious sin or pornography habit to marry someone like Alyson, pure and chaste, thinking marriage to this person will help him/her overcome his/her habit. (Yes, women also succumb to this addiction, although to a somewhat lesser degree.) It is also not unusual for that person to keep the secrets and return to the habits they have so desperately wanted to overcome. This book is well written and not seamy or vulgar in any way. I recommend it for parents and young men and women who need to be warned of the dangers and the tell-tale signs of pornography addiction.

Diony George is very brave to tell this story, as she writes: “Sharing this personal story was difficult and painful at times, but if it can save even one other person’s life, marriage or family from the pain, heartache and destructive effects pornography addiction causes, then sharing it will be worth it.”
