FROM THE EDITOR Driving past the Logan Tabernacle the last few days, I have watched the preparations for Summerfest Arts Faire progress. Wednesday morning there were a few tents and by the end of the day, it looked like all were up and ready.

I have been looking forward to Summerfest for a while, so I was excited to see everything underway.

Summerfest is one of my favorite

summer traditions. I remember going when I was little and eating kettle corn.

I still enjoy the popcorn, and I like wandering the grounds of the tabernacle and looking at the different artwork — paintings, photographs, pottery, drawings and other creations. As someone who likes to quilt, I especially like to see what people make with fabric.

People can be so creative, whatever their medium. The variety of work is also impressive.

The live music is fun and the food, of course, is a highlight. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it over and over — I wish Summerfest lasted longer so I

could try all the tasty treats. Last year I had Dutch oven food for dinner and cinnamon-glazed almonds for dessert.

This year, I look forward to trying caramel apples, cotton candy and raspberry lemonade.

There is a lot to see at Summerfest. In addition to the many booths, the Gallery Walk is today, running in conjunction with Summerfest. Also, entries in the Plein Air Paint Out and Photography Contest are on display.

Guitarist releases new album Christiansen to celebrate record with Logan shows

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

Long regarded as a talented jazz guitarist, Cache Valley’s own Corey Christiansen steps out of his perceived comfort zone on his latest album to take a stroll through well-known cowboy locales such as “El Paso,” “The Red River Valley” and the “Streets of Laredo.”

Christiansen’s third release with Origin Records in Seattle is entitled “Lone Prairie,” and while it is considered a modern jazz recording, the material the arrangements are based on are all old cowboy/frontier tunes.

“I grew up here in Cache Valley playing old cowboy tunes and frontier music,” Christiansen explains. “I have always loved their beautiful and simple melodies, as well as the poignant messages they carry. Many of the tunes are about the very present reality of death, as well as one of perseverance.

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

Pet: Bandito From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Bandito is about as cuddly as can be, loves to give and receive kisses, and is a bright shining smile in the morning. Bandito is also a great dog because to him, training is a reward. He loves affirmation after the fact, and enjoys pleasing his owner. A suitable home for this lad would be one that is willing to go for a couple walks a day and likes to play. If you can provide this, come meet Bandito!

ALL MIXED UP

Quotable

Page 4 - The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, June 14, 2013

all mixed up Art show opens tonight at Logan gallery The work of Trent Gudmundsen and Matt Larson will be on display through July 8 at Logan Fine Art Gallery, 100 N. 60 West in Logan. The show opens with a reception from 6 to 9 tonight at the Logan gallery.

Trent Gudmundsen’s depictions of people and landscapes symbolically reflect the artist’s own life, one in which he strives to live simply and make time for the moments which end up being the most meaningful. Often using his own children and relatives as models in his paintings, Trent encourages and then captures authentic moments of quiet conversation or contemplation — people learning and teaching, talking and interacting, or simply enjoying a moment in thought.

The artist’s work has earned acclaim on a national level in numerous shows and publications, including two Oil Painters of America National Exhibitions with an “Award of Excellence” at each and a full length feature in Southwest Art. Gudmundsen’s work is currently represented in 10 fine art galleries in locales throughout the West, including Santa Fe, Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Santa Barbara. Trent and his wife and their four children live in Cache Valley. When he’s not

painting, Trent can be found with his family in the garden or exploring in the mountains.

After earning his BFA and MFA at University of Utah and Utah State University, respectively, Matt Larson studied drawing at Florence Academy of Art, atelier in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Matt was born in Page, Ariz., and was raised in San Juan

Capistrano in Southern California until the age of 18. He lived in Mexico, Hawaii, Las Vegas, France, Sweden and now resides in Logan. Larson is married with four children.

Matt paints in varying styles within the figurative genre.

He has a naturalistic manner which is reminiscent of the French Naturalistic movement but he also has a distinctly

different contemporary style within both styles he employs a limited palette, simple subject matter and strong draftsmanship. Larson strives to create paintings that are evocative and create a subtle interaction

with the viewer. Matt has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades for his work.

Through Logan Fine Art, Matt will be teaching academy-style art classes in the fall.

The artwork of Trent Gudmundsen and Matt Larson is on display at Logan Fine Art Gallery. “Lennie,” shown above, is by Larson. To the right is a painting by Gudmundsen titled “Morning with the Hens.”

Museum to focus on ‘Peopling of the New World’ The next “Saturdays at the Museum” activity at Utah State University explores the scientific theories of how human beings came to the new world. Activities take place at USU’s Museum of Anthropology from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, June 15.

An illustrated lecture is

presented at 1 p.m. that showcases the archeological research on the subject. Museum docents will be on hand to give specialized tours of the museum’s “Peopling of the New World” exhibit throughout the day.

“The question of how the first humans came to the new

world has puzzled anthropologists for many years,” said Reigan Ware, a museum assistant. “Our exhibit about various theories on how people came here is a great way to gain insight into this fascinating subject.”

In addition to the “Saturdays at the Museum” activity

series with its 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours, community members and USU students alike can visit the museum during its standard operating hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The USU Museum of Anthropology can be found on the USU campus in the

south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252.

Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.

For more information about museum events, call museum staff at 435-797-7545 or visit anthromuseum.usu.edu.

Be part of Summerfest’s 30th anniversary by enjoying fabulous art, music and food on the beautiful grounds of the Logan Tabernacle in historic downtown Logan.

Summerfest began Thursday and continues today and Saturday.

“Summerfest always kicks off Cache Valley’s summer in style,” said Summerfest Director Debbie Ditton. “Don’t miss this chance to purchase quality art, eat the best of local and international cuisine and feel the rhythm of the region with our eclectic roster of musicians.”

During this free, threeday event, more than 135 artists from as far away as Louisiana will showcase visual, wearable, functional, edible, playful, recycled and personalized art. Scholarship recipients will also exhibit their projects.

Children of all ages will love this year’s festival with whimsical Art Yard activities for $3.

They can also have their faces painted, interact

with artists, play with toys and games and have balloon sculptures created from their imaginations.

The Summerfest main stage will come alive with jazz, blues, folk, oldies, bluegrass, Celtic, acapella, classic rock, soul,

finger-style guitar, swing and salsa. In addition, there will be storytelling, musical theatre, acoustic musicians and other performance arts in the newly covered Acoustic Venue. The Grass Roots Shakespeare troupe will perform Saturday on the southeast lawn.

“Great food is part of the tradition of excellence people have come to expect at Summerfest,” Ditton said.

Only the best food vendors have been selected to tempt with scrumptious snacks, treats and meals.

Summerfest hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday. Ditton said many artist booths will close one hour earlier each night, so shop before dark, then eat and listen to live music for the rest of the evening.

Schedules, menus, Cache Valley Transit routes for free community transportation and other details can be found at www.logansummerfest. com.

CVCA Gallery Walk is tonight The Cache Valley Center for the Arts is partnering with Summerfest for the June Gallery Walk from 6 to 9 tonight. This free walk will feature 23 selected artists participating in the Summerfest Arts Faire on the Logan Tabernacle grounds, 50 N. Main St. Cache Valley Center for the Arts now hosts a 2nd Friday Walk on the even months throughout the year, and rather than compete with a local favorite, CVCA will be highlighting one of the biggest arts events taking place in the heart of Downtown Logan.

“We are always looking to add vibrancy to the downtown arts scene while making it easy for our community to calendar and prepare for these regular events,”

said Andrea DeHaan, CVCA’s arts education coordinator. “This is a neat opportunity for Cache Valley to elevate the arts and provide increased exposure for local and guest artists.”

Art lovers of every description will have the opportunity to socialize and tour a full spectrum of spaces and mediums — all in one evening. Start at any booth marked on the map at the back of The Herald Journal program insert (available at The Herald Journal/Info Booth) or stop by the Summerfest Plein Air tent on the northeast side of the tabernacle to pick up a map. Gallery Walk Booths will be clearly marked with the official CVCA Gallery Walk poster. Maps can

also be downloaded online.

Visit CacheArts.org for exhibition details, maps and artist info.

Questions? Visit www.Cache Arts.org, email events@cachearts. org or call the Cache Valley Center for the Arts at 435-752-0026.

If you are an artist and would like to be considered for a future walk, email Andrea DeHaan, CVCA education and outreach coordinator, at adehaan@cachearts.org or call 435-753-6518 ext.

CVCA currently hosts six walks and hopes there will be a demand for even more in 2014.

On Friday, Aug. 9, CVCA Gallery Walk returns to several local businesses, galleries and nonprofit art spaces downtown.

Cleverness of ‘The End’ will surprise many

In “This Is the End” some of today’s most recognizable comedy stars play themselves as they face a world-ending demonic apocalypse.

What works so well here is that the entire movie and its creators (written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg) are com-

exclaims, “We’re actors.

They’ll save us first.”

It’s an ingenious idea, really. What makes it even better is the

fact that Rogen, Hill, James Franco, Danny

McBride, Jay Baruchel and Craig Robinson are all buddies in real life.

This gives the comedic moments, of which there are many, layers of humor that wouldn’t normally exist in a standard comedy. We’re left to wonder if this is how they really act. Are they really this clueless? Is this what they’re like

at parties? Is this how they think the public views them? And how awesome would their proposed “Pineapple Express” sequel really be?

“Man of Steel” is a big fat summer movie spectacle masquerading as a serious, thoughtful superhero origin story.

The action is loud and in your face, clearly an effort to up the ante when compared to the dullness of “Superman Returns.”

However, that’s all the movie is: action, action, action. Substantially it’s almost defunct.

The script, which turns Superman/Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) into a hero that talks as little as Rambo, has a notable rhythm to it. For every 20 minutes of non-stop CGI-fuelled action, there must be about 5 minutes of soulless, emotionless exposition. As a matter of fact, the movie is filled with familiar characters like Lois Lane (Amy Adams), Ma and Pa Kent (Diane Lane and Kevin Costner), Superman’s birth father Jor-El (Russell Crowe), and the villainous General Zod (Michael Shannon), yet all these characters are, more or less, given to empty speechifying. Rarely does the movie ever hit on any sort of emotion, feeling or mood that lies

‘Man of Steel’ an action-packed spectacle

Artists capture life, landscapes in Cache Valley during plein air contest

IN THE OPEN AIR

W

hen Jodi McGregor Peterson’s husband gave her an easel last year, she soon started scouting out painting locations around Cache Valley.

She was looking for a few particulars: The place had to be easy to access (she’d be lugging all of her materials there), and there needed to be some degree of solitude.

The Logan resident found Second Dam up Logan Canyon, where she returned Monday and Tuesday of this week to paint for several hours.

Peterson was one of 32 painters and nearly as many photographers who entered this year’s Plein Air Paint Out and Photography Contest, which is put on as part of the Summerfest Arts Faire.

With just about 48 hours to create their artwork, the artists are working under typically very different conditions than usual.

“Each brush stroke should be decisive,” Peterson said. “You can’t tickle the painting.”

Plein air, which in French roughly means “in the open air,” refers to the practice of painting outdoors. In the case of Summerfest, painters are required to register Monday morning, when their canvases are stamped. Each painter returned his or her canvas between 10 a.m. and noon Wednesday, and they were judged along with the photos later that day.

The photography contest involved the same time frame, although photographers didn’t register beforehand. However, they can be asked to show data from their camera proving the photos were taken in those two days.

Both painters and photographers are required to stay in Cache Valley or nearby canyons.

Scott Bushman of Hyrum chose the hills south of Mount Sterling as his location, where he painted the Wellsvilles at sunset. This was his first year participating in the contest and a little different than what he is used to.

“I’m usually pretty slow, so plein air to me is kind of a challenge,” he said. “But it’s wonderful. It’s a great experience. When you get out there, just being out there and focusing on a landscape is fun.”

Bushman, like many others, on Monday had to fight the wind, which blew away his canvas once and forced him indoors for the evening.

Peterson also said she learned a few things about painting in the outdoors.

“Don’t stand in an ant bed,” she said. “Dirt and sand and bugs really stick to your painting. And the bigger your canvas is, the more it acts as a kite.”

Not everyone decided to find quiet, secluded areas to paint or photograph. Some depicted or shot downtown Logan, others used people as subjects.

Photographer Amanda Proudfit was one of those.

The Logan resident who says she loves skate photography shot a friend doing a skate trick Tuesday evening. Proudfit, who participated for the first time this year, said working on a deadline and showing her finished product was an enjoyable

experience.

Dianne Adams and her 9-year-old son, Ryan Adams, stayed in downtown Logan. The two are veterans in the painting plein air contest. In the six years Summerfest has hosted the Plein Air Paint Out, both have participated in all but one, starting when Ryan was just 3.

The Deweyville duo spent Monday and Tuesday at the Garff Wayside Gardens park in downtown Logan, painting florals and using a new technique of putting resin over the painting afterward.

“It’s just fun to participate with other artists, be outside, enjoy the beauties of Cache Valley,” Adams said. “Cache Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in the world.”

That’s what Amanda Castillo hopes visitors to the plein air tent see this weekend. The Summerfest Board of Trustees chair said the variety of artists this year is what makes the works of art so attractive. While some pieces come from relative newcomers to the local artistic scene, others come from artists who are “too big” to even sell their work in their own Summerfest booth.

“Having a mix is really good,” she said.

Castillo said many artists participate in other plein air competitions throughout the region but say they love Summerfest’s because it’s “home.”

“We always have phenomenal paintings,” she said, “and this is a good way to see some of the amazing photographers in the valley.”

Both painters and photographers pay a small entry fee, which allows them to enter two pieces of work each, and winners receive cash prizes.

Well-known artists in their own fields traveled to Logan on Wednesday to judge the entries. The winners include: In the painting category, first place to Matt Larson for “Sunlit Hills,” second place to Joseph Alleman for “Wet Land,” and third place to Mike Malm for “Lazy Afternoon.”

For photography, first place went to Levi Sim for “Welcome to My Morning,” second place to Mike Johnson for “Untitled,” and third place to Miriam Laker for “Dandelion.”

Castillo said she hopes Summerfest visitors stop by to see the photos and paintings and also consider buying one.

“I’d love to see more gallery sales in the plein air tent,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to get local art into your own home.”

The Old Lyric Repertory Company opened its 2013 season Thursday, June 6, by reprising a crowd-pleaser from its past, the musical comedy “Nunsense.”

“Nunsense” was the 1980s equivalent of the current Broadway smash “Book of Mormon,” with the foibles of Catholics being lampooned rather than those of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The farfetched premise of the show is that five surviving members of the Little Sisters of Hoboken are staging a variety show to raise money to bury other members of their convent who were accidently poisoned.

Since this show’s plot is paper thin, “Nunsense” is totally character-driven and this mixed cast of OLRC veterans and newcomers brilliantly rise to that challenge.

Camille Van Wagoner is hilarious as Sister Mary Regina, the convent’s mother superior who tries desperately to treat not only her fellow performers but also the audience as school children. When the prissy nun innocently gets high as a kite, the result is a tour-de-force

‘Nunsense’ musical a character-driven show

of physical comedy.

Local favorite Tamari Dunbar is back this season as Sister Mary Amnesia, who is endearingly not all there as she drifts through “Nunsense.”

Dunbar delivers a wonderfully understated performance that still captivates the audience.

Ashley Gardner Carlson is a delight as the novice Sister Mary Leo. She has a crystal-clear soprano voice, a remarkably developed sense of comic timing and can dance like nobody’s business. In the interest of historical accuracy, I should note that there were no nuns as sexy as Sister Mary Leo at the Catholic schools I attended.

Rachel Shull plays the streetwise Sister Robert

Ann, a dead-end kid from Brooklyn who is frustrated at being cast as the variety show’s understudy. Shull is a scenestealer from the start to the finish of “Nunsense” and can belt out a torch song like a trouper.

Reprising her role as Sister Mary Hubert from the 2002 OLRC production of “Nunsense,” Jill Hoffmann-Cox is the glue that holds this show together. She performs superbly in early ensemble numbers, dominates a second-act duet with Van Wagoner and really gets her mojo working in the show’s rousing tentrevival finale.

Repertory performances of “Nunsense” will continue at the Caine Lyric Theater at 28 W. Center St. in Logan through Aug. 5.

ent in that my parents got divorced when I was 2 years old. And, since it was one of those angry divorces, there wasn’t much communication or visitation with him.

Hence, I had no recollection of bio-dad. I never

actually met him until I was 30 years old. That dad was Ralph Tanner.

Ralph left mom, St. Louis and me behind in 1959 and started a new family in California. He made a comfortable living as an electrician in the Southern California building boom and added a stepsister and two half sisters to my convoluted family tree.

Parental-dad: You have probably noticed that I don’t use the name Tanner, so let me elaborate. The male that raised me and the one who received the horrible presents that have become a staple of Father’s Day was Ron

Hinkamp. There are a lot of legal vagaries of women changing their names upon marriage, divorce and remarriage, but children are stuck with the last name on their birth certificate.

To get around this my parental-dad had to adopt me so I could legally use his name on contracts.

To make this possible, the government had to create an alternate universe where my birth certificate bears the name of my parental-dad even though he had nothing to do with my conception. So even though I am genealogically and biologically Tanner, I am legally Hinkamp.

So you see, I don’t even think birth certificates contain the whole truth, though I reluctantly concede that it proves I’m 57 years old. I now wish I had the foresight to ask the lawyers to change my age as well as my father.

My experience with this reality swapping incident is also why I don’t care much for genealogy. Try to map this out. When I finally reconnected with biodad, I found out that my half sister adopted my stepsister’s grandchild, which makes me some sort of half step grand uncle, but mainly just confused. We can only

Student artwork to be unveiled Steel

Cache County School District and Cache Valley Transit District have partnered to bring together our 2nd annual Art in Transit: “Bringing Communities Together” Project. This project was created to bring art made by children into public places and showcase student artwork inside and outside CVTD’s buses throughout Cache Valley. Currently, there are seven buses en route with artwork inside created by students from Providence Elementary during the 2011-12 pilot program. The pilot project was supported solely by local business sponsorship.

Two projects will be unveiled this week at Logan’s Summerfest Art Festival. There will be a dual unveiling of new student work, inside and outside the buses. One CVTD bus will be parked at the North East corner of the Logan Tabernacle parking lot, showcasing artwork created by students at Summit Elementary and local high school students. The bus will be on display from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“Anne of Green Gables,” by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was first published in 1908 and has become one of the bestselling and beloved novels of all time. The story of a young orphan girl and her adventures on Prince Edward Island on the eastern Canadian coast resonates themes of acceptance, the courage to be oneself and a sense of family.

Perhaps it is no wonder, then, that the musical theater production of the story, performed by Cache Theatre Company in Logan on June 21-29, has become a family affair for several families in the area. With its cast of nearly 50 characters, more than half are made up of families who have decided that a fun summer activity would be to play together in a musical theater production.

The Teuscher family is one of these. From Smithfield, Mom, Dad and two children are involved. “Our kids love to be in musicals, and since my schedule allowed it, I decided to audition with them just for fun,” said Karen Teuscher, mother of the clan.

“When we got to the audition,

At the airport a nosy paparazzo goads Rogen into performing his trademark laugh (dance monkey, dance). This must happen to him all the time right?

Seth has settled comfortably into his new West Coast lifestyle and soon invites Jay to James Franco’s party — a party that Jay isn’t too happy about going to.

it seemed like there might be a need for more men in the show, so we volunteered my husband, Trevor, as well. I think he was a little dismayed at first, but it has turned out to be really fun to do all together.”

Karen plays Lucilla, the shopkeeper, in the production. Trevor plays the station master. Their children play some of the pupils of Avonlea school.

Afton Lovell from Smithfield, who portrays the energetic and free-spirited teacher, Miss Stacey, feels similarly.

Afton’s daughter, Ellie, plays one of the kids in the production. “Being in a show is a big commitment of time and energy, but I’ve found that by having my kids do shows with me it isn’t such a hardship on everyone as we are together more not less! We get to have this experience together, meet new friends, learn and grow with each other. I love the friendships that we make and can’t think of a better experience to share with my kids. We have the chance to talk while traveling to rehearsals, we work on our

Jonah Hill, and the rest of the gang.

Like many of Rogen’s movies the comedy grows more outlandish and crasser by the second. The jokes start off with a few hilarious lines about what exactly constitutes “a gluten,” and then quickly morphs into subject matter that can’t be discussed in detail within the pages of Cache Magazine. Suffice it to say that it isn’t for the ears of young ones.
