From the editor

tried my first gyro yesterday thanks to Summerfest. Since I’m a really, really slow eater it was easy to tell I loved it when it was gone in just a few bites. The meat was delicious, especially with the veggies, sauce and yummy bread wrapped around the outside. It makes me wonder why I haven’t devoured one before. I’m a huge fan of Summerfest food. It’s the same stuff you get at small town celebrations and fairs. Funnel cake? Yes please. Fried Oreos? I’ll have four. One of my favorite Summerfest memories in recent years consisted of my best friend’s family coming into town and eating one fattening food after another. We shared frozen bananas, snowcones, a navajo taco and cotton candy. Yum. This year there’s a whole slew of vendors selling everything summery from

fresh-squeezed lemonade and pulled pork sandwiches to fried Twinkies, kettle corn, cinnamon glazed almonds and mini cake donuts. Don’t judge me if I try all of these things this weekend. You will, too. Of course I love Summerfest for all the art, too. People amaze me. This week Kate Rouse DuHadway interviewed Larry Winborg, one of the many artists who will be showcasing their work at the Tabernacle this week (page 8). I’ve been familiar with Winborg’s art for the last few years and especially love his paintings of Utah State University in the fall. Winborg has been painting since he was a child and has work in several galleries throughout the United States. This year he was chosen as Summerfest’s featured artist and has dozens of new paintings on display this weekend. Go check his work as well as more than a 150 other artists at Summerfest. And why not have a crepe and caramel apple while you’re at it. – Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

This cat is available for adoption! Pet: Kohl From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: Kohl

is a beautiful, silky, solid black female cat. We believe that she is about 2 years old. She was left at the old Ogden Animal Shelter after it closed down. She is very sweet and loving, but would prefer to be an only pet. Kohl needs to be an indoor-only cat, as she is declawed on all four paws. She is looking for a loving, forever home.

Pops music to fill Kent Concert Hall ache Symphony C Orchestra will perform its second of three summer pops

he Bridger Folk T Music Society presents a concert with singer

and songwriter Jen Hajj on Saturday, June 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West in Logan. Tickets are $13 and are available by calling 757-3468, or take your chances at the door. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended. The concert is sponsored by Import Auto and Utah Public Radio. Hajj has performed at bluegrass jams, open mics, or and folk music camps. She spent her childhood in Tempe, Ariz., taking piano lessons, chasing lizards, and singing in church and school choirs. She made an early connection with composition as a child, noticing that music notation wasn’t just for interpreting what other people created, but

it could be used to express her own musical ideas. She took her first composition, “Mazurka,” to her piano teacher, who patiently played through the poorly notated piece, and gently introduced music theory into Hajj’s instruction. This is where her songwriting began. She moved to Utah in the mid-1980’s where her musical career began to take shape, singing with various choirs and moving her way into the church music scene. While working with various churches, she rediscovered her desire to write her own music. She entered music school and studied vocal performance and composition. For Hajj, being a part of the folk music scene is like coming home. She hopes when you hear her sing, you feel it too.

ance in Logan on Tuesday, June 21. Draper will be giving a 45-minute public show at 7 p.m., followed by a private lecture for magicians only at 8 p.m. at Magical Moon Toys, 1940 N. Main, North Logan. In “Mysteries of the Mind,” which Draper calls “a combination of lecture and performance,” he teaches the audience members some of his techniques and lets them try to read each others’ minds. Draper says his ability to read minds comes from his knowledge of people, which he’s spent a lifetime acquiring in his work as an anthropologist, an actor/director and a diversity trainer. He also takes to heart the advice he heard from fellow mentalist Max Maven to “read everything.” “I do not see how anyone can be truly successful in mentalism if they do not love learning,” Draper said in an interview with Magic Magazine. “If we have the skill to read people’s thoughts, we should know a lot about a lot of different subjects and areas. We must know about astronauts and bus drivers; we must know something about the South if he is from Atlanta, or about Wisconsin if he is from Appleton, and hopefully something about those exact cities. We should know details about peoples’ hobbies, interests and ideas that we could only know if we were peering into their minds.” Draper’s stage shows often include stories about his anthropology field work with the Navajo in Arizona, the Yanomami tribes in South America and Spiritualists in Louisiana. Many

of his mentalist techniques come from his observations of shamans and diviners across different cultures. Often the simple sleight of hand tricks Draper does between his mind-reading feats will be imbued with deeper meaning by a story Draper tells from one of the cultures he has studied. In performing both simple and complicated tricks, he is careful to preserve “the moment of awe.” Draper’s stage show also draws on his experience in theatre as an actor, director and singer. He has performed for the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas which sent him overseas to perform at its Macau location. Now a regular at

the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, Draper takes every possible opportunity to perform live. “Mentalism must be practiced in front of a live audience,” Draper said. “It’s not like performing a billiard ball routine, which can be polished in front of a mirror or video cameras. Mentalism is fluid. It is interactive by nature. The mentalist must be aware, in the moment and capable of making instant choices. This can only be learned under fire.” Admission is $10. Advance purchase tickets are available from Magical Moon Toys, Peewee’s Sweet’s and the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music.

Belly dance instructor

ith a full-time job and family, 46-year-old Traci Hanzalik doesn’t have a lot of free time. But when she does, she’s dancing. Hanzalik picked up belly dancing, or Raks Sharki, 13 years ago and has been teaching women of all ages and levels how to shake it for 10. “This art form is beautiful and one of the oldest documented dance forms still alive,” she says. Because there may be some misconceptions about belly dancing Hanzalik encourages everyone to come to a show and give it a try. “Many folks will assume it’s one type of dance without really ever seeing it,” she says. “I think they would be surprised on how artistic and enjoyable this is.” Hanzalik, of Smithfield, has been able to travel and compete in belly dance throughout the years and says she enjoys the different styles, mood costuming and interpretation. “You know it’s a good performance when the audience is really connected to you and what you’re doing. When you hear them cheer you on, or are clapping along, it makes the whole experience exhilarating for you and the audience.”

• “My sister began taking classes, and brought me to one of her performances, and the music movement and costuming was so beautiful, I think I was hooked at that point.” • Shimmering Sands started as a USU club and grew from there into weekly classes and practices. The ensemble performs in Logan or Salt Lake City at least once a month, with soloists dancing frequently in various venues. Shimmering Sands also performs one night a month at Indian Oven. • “I have traveled extensively with belly dancing. Some places like Southern California, Portland, Orlando, Chicago and St. Louis are the few that come to mind first.” • Shimmering Sands has competed at Wiggles of the West, Belly Dancer of the Universe and Double Crown. As a group they placed each time they competed. • “As a troupe we hold six national awards. As a soloist I hold three national awards. In duets we hold two national awards.” • Shimmering Sands has beginning and intermediate level classes and group performance practice. • “We do not care about body type or age. With belly dancing it is nice because the focus isn’t on age and body type. It’s on musical interpretation and emotionally connecting with the music. We have students from teenagers to grandmothers and everything between. We welcome anyone who wants to learn the art form. Women really are attracted to this feminine expression and literally get hooked once they begin to take lessons.” Photo by Eli Lucero

Belly dancers to perform tonight himmering S Sands Belly Dance will perform “Sand-

storm” Friday, June 17, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Utah State University’s TSC Auditorium. “Sandstorm” is one of Shimmering Sands’ largest productions of the year. The show will feature two special guests who will perform a special blend of liquid fusion and hip-hop belly dance. Shimmering Sands will also enchant

their audience with a diverse range of belly dance styles from Egyptian Cabaret to Tribal. Tickets are available at Indian Oven, by calling 615-306-2654, or at the door for $12. Those wanting to learn how to belly dance can sign up for a beginning belly dance class that starts July 5 at the Whittier Center. For more information email shimmeringsandsbellydance@gmail.com.

Film New this week

Still playing

“Mr. Popper’s Penguins” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 One assumes that when Hollywood gets its hands on a charming children’s book like Richard and Florence Atwater’s 1938 classic, bad things ensue. But director Mark Waters (“Mean Girls,” ‘’Freaky Friday”) surprisingly has turned in something with its own charm. Yes, it’s a saccharine family film with predictable story lines and glossy studio veneer. But thanks largely to Jim Carrey’s deft, funny performance, enough wit slides in between the cracks that it avoids becoming the kiddie schmaltz it would seem destined to be. Tom Popper (Carrey) has been transferred from the country to the Big Apple,

from the poor house to the penthouse. He’s a shark of a real estate developer, and his commitment to work has lost him his wife (Carla Gugino). He sees his kids (Madeline Carroll, Maxwell Perry Cotton) on the weekends. But when his father bequeaths him a penguin and five more follow, the tuxedoed ones — and you saw this coming — turn his life upside down. Slapstick and flatulence jokes follow, but Carrey continuously inserts clever lines and rubbery faces. Waters mixes it well, avoiding too much cheese ball humor, and the film maintains a light breeze despite its wintery environs. With Angela Lansbury as the owner of Tavern on the Green. 95 minutes.

“Super 8” Rated PG-13 ★★★ This is the rarest of things this time of year: a summer blockbuster that’s completely earnest and irony-free, not filled with cheeky pop-culture references or cheesy product placement. The effects, while spectacular, also happen to be germane to the plot, and they have an intimate, tactile quality, rather than seeming too glossy or removed from reality. So all you’re left with is ... story. And strong performances. And well-developed characters. And a believable emotional arc. And genuine thrills. And that’s apropos, given that it’s a love letter to the man who skillfully wove

together all those elements in inventing the modern blockbuster. J.J. Abrams has crafted a loving, meticulously detailed homage to Steven Spielberg, who’s one of the film’s producers — specifically, the director’s work from the late 1970s and early ‘80s — but it never feels like a rip-off, and it certainly never lapses into parody. As writer and director, Abrams effectively conveys a mood — a mixture of innocence, fear and ultimately hope — that Spielberg managed to create again and again. He also captures a familiar sense of childhood loneliness — a need to escape and belong — and the adventures that can spring from that yearning. And the kids at the center of this small-town, sci-fi thriller (Joel Courtney,

Riley Griffiths and Elle Fanning), many of whom had never appeared in a feature film before, are total naturals and bounce off each other with effortless, goofy humor. PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and some drug use. 112 minutes. Three stars out of four.

A I

e know we’re W neck deep in the summer movie season

when we finally get to the third comic book movie. This summer has already seen two decent comic book movies in “X-Men: First Class” and “Thor.” Those two films were fun, energetic and full of lively characters. That’s why they made such good movies. “The Green Lantern,” sadly, lacks in just about every category. Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is a hotshot fighter pilot who apparently has no fear when it comes to flying. Superheroes are interesting when their alter-egos are timid and afraid of the power they possess. It’s overcoming that fear and harnessing the power that makes them great. A cocky superhero that thinks he’s all-powerful to begin with is a bit of a turn off. Hal has no real inner struggle with himself. He isn’t like Peter Parker who was a nerdy young man thrust into being a superhero without wanting it. By all accounts egomaniac Hal Jordan craves attention. That really isn’t the mark of a hero. That’s the mark of a celebrity. After Hal’s hot-shot maneuvering crashes an expensive jet, he finds himself wallowing in self-pity. The only inner struggle going on with Hal is the fact that he just can’t get over himself. He’s too wrapped up in himself to care about the world or people around him. Then, well, here’s the cliffnotes

The Reel Place By Aaron Peck

version. A green ball picks Hal up, transports him to a dying alien who has just come to earth, the alien gives Hal a ring and a green lantern, and presto change-o, Hal is now an intergalactic protector of the universe. The ring gives the wearer the power to create anything his imagination can conjure. The Green Lanterns are protectors of the universe, which has been split up into something like 3,600 quadrants, each containing its own protector. Am I boring you yet? Well, I’m just getting you ready for the movie, which spouts exposition ad nauseam. That’s all these characters do. When Hal travels to a far away planet to train to become a superhero savior, they tell story after story. After all, we are apparently too dumb to figure it all out, right? We need to be guided step by step through the whole intergalactic his-

tory book. Of course earth will be in danger, and, of course Hal will have to save it. Of course the girl he cares about the most will be put in harms way, and, of course he’ll have to save her, too. So, if “The Green Lantern” is going to churn out comic book movie cliché one after another, there has to be something that sets it apart. Sadly, there isn’t. The movie’s herky-jerky tone shifts violently from one CG-laden action scene to the next punctuated by cheesy scenes with Hal talking to his girlfriend, or Hal talking to aliens, or Hal talking to himself.

When all is said and done, “The Green Lantern” is one of the most anti-climactic movies out there. We’ve spent so much time on exposition that when time comes to save the world from utter destruction, the filmmakers have to fasttrack it and hope we didn’t notice. Unfortunately, for them, we do. I wish I had the power to imagine that I’d never seen “The Green Lantern” in the first place.

An eye for art

ache Valley painter Larry Winborg is always taking photographs wherever he goes, he said, gathering ideas for what may become his next masterpiece. “Whenever I see something, I’m driving down the road and I look out the window, or I see a tree or a sunset or a cloud or something, it gives me an idea for a painting,” Winborg said. “I have lots of reference material, I could probably paint here the rest of my life and never leave. ... I have hundreds, well, thousands of images.” Winborg, who has made a good living producing artwork for almost 50 years, goes to work each day in the art studio he built above his garage in Hyde Park. The studio is peaceful and comfortable, with his and his son’s artwork displayed around the room on muted burgundy walls. A few armchairs are gathered in front of the fireplace, and a pool table in one corner overlooks a spectacular view of Cache Valley to the west. With the panorama a constant reminder of one of the reasons he chose to come back to Cache Valley 16 years ago, the Utah State University alum paints mountain landscapes, harbor scenes and images of Cache Valley’s iconic landmarks such as Old Main, the tabernacle and the Logan temple. His main media are oil and acrylics, but lately he’s been doing a

lot of watercolors and even some nonobjective art. “People say, ‘well, what is that all about?’” Winborg said of his nonobjective work. “I like to call it the music without words, just the melody.” For Winborg, the best part about art materials is they don’t come with an instruction manual. Whether he paints from a photograph or goes outside to paint a scene, he said he always adds his own creativity and imagination to the piece. “My best painting is my next one, always,” Winborg said. “I’m always learning. I’m learning when I look at other artwork that people do, and I look at nature, and then I discover something for myself, I figure out how to do things a little different.” Winborg told his parents he wanted to be an artist in the first grade, and although they had their doubts, Winborg graduated with a master’s in fine arts from USU in the late ‘60s, and went on to a successful career as an illustrator for Sports Illustrated, Readers Digest, Audubon Magazine and other publications. He returned to Cache Valley and in 2002, partnered with Judge Kevin Allen to open a gallery inside the Coppermill Emporium. Winborg’s wife now runs the gallery, selling her husband’s and her son’s work to locals and collectors who travel from Salt Lake and even Park City to buy the paintings.

One of many Summerfest artists, Larry Winborg says he’ll never stop painting

Of Winborg’s four children, three are professional artists, he said. Jeremy Winborg paints alongside his father in the studio in Hyde Park and two of his daughters sell their work on Etsy and Target as Winborg Sisters Design. Another daughter does photography as a hobby, and Winborg’s 15 grandchildren love to come to the studio and paint with their own brushes and art supplies. “Art is something that’s always been in our family,” Winborg said. “When they were little, I gave (my kids) materials and supplies and didn’t try to tell them what to do, I just let them do their thing, and encouraged them.” As a full time artist, Winborg said he produces a couple hundred paintings in a year, and his total body of work is numbered in the thousands. For Summerfest this year, he said he and his son will have roughly 40 to 45 new pieces of art that have never been shown. And Winborg doesn’t plan on quitting anytime soon. “Somebody said, ‘oh, you ever going to retire?’” Winborg said. “Well, no, I’m not going to retire because what would I do when I retire? Same thing I’m doing now. So I won’t retire, I’m going to continue to paint the rest of my life.” –

I thought I’d try fishing the “Bear Paw” Way up in the Idaho wild. An area that’s tough to get into And rugged is putting it mild. The dead trees were down by the hundreds So thick one could barely get by. I crawled on my belly and climbed over limbs And twice almost put out an eye! When I found the stream – what a beauty! A picture no artist could match. And the trout – ah, the trout had gone crazy Consuming some strange-looking hatch. In spite of it all I was nervous And fearful about that first cast. I turned for a quick glance around me And froze in my tracks, hard and fast! A huge cat was half-crouched and waiting With that ominous twitch in his tail, All ready to pounce on his quarry And finish me there in the trail. I carried no weapon for safety; That seven-foot fly rod, a joke! But having no more for protection I might scare him off with a poke. And then, without thinking it over, And desperate for something to try, I cast the small Captain right at him And it caught in the flesh near his eye! He snorted and pawed where it struck him, Then turned and ran down the trail. He continued to paw at that fly near his eye But the twitch had gone out of his tail. The fishing trip ended in failure; I made a beeline for the car! The episode made quite a story – I told it nine times at the bar! Well, I see by your face you’re a skeptic; The story is one you reject. You admit, though, it gets some attention And it buys me a lot of respect!

Oscar Hijuelos pens memoir on search for identity By Christine Armario For The Associated Press

n his novels, Pulitzer Icaptures Prize winner Oscar Hijuelos the loss and triumphs

of Cuban immigrants in tales of displaced dreams, lovelorn beauties and eternal music. Now he turns the pen to his story, the inspiration for many of his characters, and a candid, often heartbreaking portrait that reveals another layer of the Cuban experience in America. Growing up in New York, Hijuelos’ identity as a Cuban seems constantly stacked against him. With his blond hair and light skin, he is commonly confused as a German or American, even among

fellow compatriots — what might seem like an insignifi-

cant shortcoming, but a sort of jab to his already fragile identity each time he is mistakenly addressed in English. After an enchanting trip with his mother to Cuba as a young child, he becomes ill with a kidney disease and is hospitalized for a year, during which he loses, and never truly recovers, his Spanish. Once released, he is limited to a strict diet of bland food and forbidden from eating Cuban staples like crispy lechon or fried plantains that his family cherishes. “For the longest time, all I would know was that I had gotten sick in Cuba, from Cuban microbios, that the illness had blossomed in the land of my forebears, the

country where I had once been loved and whose language fell as music on my ears,” Hijuelos writes. “Of course, diseases happen anywhere, and children get sick under any circumstances, but what I would hear for years afterward from my mother was that something Cuban had nearly killed me and, in the process of my healing, would turn my own ‘Cubaness’ into air.” It’s an experience of displacement and a never ending inability to reach an identity he inherits, but cannot truly grasp, that many Cubans of his generation, along with anyone who has felt divided between two homelands, will understand and relate to. It also defines much of his

development as a writer, as he initially hesitates to embrace his story, and that of his family, as a source of inspiration for his fictional characters — too ashamed to put them on paper, believing the world was indifferent to his tale. Indeed, Hijuelos himself acknowledges the unlikely course his life has taken and the near impossibility of becoming a writer. Raised in a tough Manhattan neighborhood in the 1960s, countless friends fell into a fatal spiral of drugs and alcohol abuse. He wasn’t surrounded by books, often picking up comic strips instead, if he read at all. Yet his life is rich with stories and characters that later populate his novels.

orphanage off the coast of Wales in which he grew up and all the friends he had — children with unusual abilities, like the invisible boy, the girl who could create fire and the boy with bees in his stomach. But kids grow up, and Jacob realized that his grandfather was telling tales, masking his experiences as a Jewish World War II refugee in the guise of fairy tales. The monsters the peculiar children feared were in reality Nazis; the children themselves Other in religion only. Or so Jacob believed,

until his grandfather is killed under mysterious circumstances and Jacob swears he saw a tentacle-mouthed creature lurking in the nearby woods. Everyone thinks he’s delusional from grief, but Jacob decides to follow his grandfather’s dying wish and go to the island to investigate. What follows is delightfully reminiscent of my favorite childhood books, ones in which the protagonist discovers a hidden passageway into a strange world where everyone has been expecting her. It’s a thrilling moment for Jacob and the reader alike to find out that the supernatural really exists, in more Technicolor detail than previously suspected.
