From the editor

I

grew up being a really shy person, and sometimes I still feel that way. I was generally the quiet girl in school – the one who clung to groups I knew at parties.

I remember when I first started writing stories for the high school newspaper and The StandardExaminer teen section. There were times I got so nervous to call people for interviews I would write out my whole introduction on a piece of paper and practice it before dialing.

“Hi, this is Manette Newbold and I’m writing a story on the growing trend of young girls and teenagers getting spa treatment. Can I talk to you about that?”

I know it doesn’t sound scary to ask that question and give my spiel, but to me, it was.

I’ve grown 1,000 times in courage since then, and talking to people is now

‘Cars 2’ is a clunker

the best part of my job, even in the moments I’m still feeling a little shy.

I’ve met morticians and rodeo queens, local actors and directors, professors and children – and all of them are usually doing really cool things.

Last week I spent some time with Nancy Israelsen (page 11) who has spent much of her life doing art projects. I told her I enjoy getting to know ordinary people who do great things in the areas I lack talent. And as you probably know, there is a ton of talent going around this valley.

This week Herald Journal reporter Satenik Sargsyan interviewed nude models and artists (page 8), another group of ordinary people doing something I could never do. I’m too reserved to be a model (especially nude), and too unartistic to draw or paint one. So, I’ll just admire their work.

And little by little I’ll continue to be less shy.

Old Lyric presents ‘See How They Run’ Laugh alongside Utah State University’s Old Lyric Repertory Company as it performs the British comedy “See How They Run” this summer at the historic Caine Lyric Theatre in downtown Logan, 28 W. Center Street. Opening night is Thursday, June 30.

The looming fear of a Russian invasion is less distressing to the wartime residents of Merton-cumMiddlewick than the innocent improprieties of the vicar’s young American wife. The result is British farce at its best, complete with slamming doors, mistaken identities and, of course, missing trousers.

Following its June 30 opening, the OLRC’s production of “See How They Run” continues July 2, 5, 8, 21, 26, Aug. 2 and 6. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. with select matinee performances at 2 p.m. (check the schedule online).

The 2011 Old Lyric Repertory Company season also features “The

39 Steps,” “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Amadeus,” which opens July 13. The OLRC’s season runs June 16-Aug. 6.

Tickets for OLRC productions can be purchased by visiting the Caine College of the Arts Box Office at Utah State University in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday; by calling 435-797-8022 or online (arts.usu. edu). Tickets are also available at the Caine Lyric Theatre from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and an hour prior to curtain on show nights. Individual ticket prices range from $18-$25 for adults, $15$21 for seniors and USU faculty and staff and $12-$18 for USU students and youth.

Wednesday, June 29 Dana Slabaugh

Tumbleweeds Steve Fillmore and “Ugly Earl” Bradley have an unlikely combination of comedy and acoustic western music that is pleasing and fun to listen to. Although both played in other bands over the years, they found themselves performing together for many functions, and eventually formed the Tumbleweeds. Their voices (both strong despite their age), Fillmore’s guitar and Bradley’s bass form a unique full sound. Although they later added Earl’s banjo and harmonica, their original sound remains the backbone of their music. Both men have an extensive background of traditional western and grassroots country music to draw from, plus original music the pair wrote.

Dana Slabaugh is a graduate of the University of Utah with a master’s of music degree, and is a past recipient of Utah Opera Young Artists program and Utah Opera’s Opera in the Schools program. Promised Valley International Vocal school participant. She is currently a vocal teacher at USU and has performed as Despina in “Cosi Fan Tutti,” Maria in “Maria Stuarda,” Golden trill in “Impresario,” Lauretta in “Gianni Schicci” and Queen of the night in the “Magic Flute.” Slabaugh has also performed in musicals and at a variety show at Sandy City’s Outdoor Theater.

Susan Haderlie Susan Haderlie, mezzo-soprano, has performed with professional opera and stage companies throughout the United States, including Utah Opera in Salt Lake City; Cimarron Opera, Oklahoma, Idaho Falls Opera, Idaho; Marjorie Lyons Playhouse, Louisiana; Idaho Little Theatre, Idaho; and Heritage Theatre, Utah. Haderlie has twice won the first place vocalist title for the state of Idaho in the American Mothers, Inc. Voice Competition. She is an honor graduate of Centenary College of Louisiana and presently, she is on the Utah State Music department adjunct voice faculty.

Thursday, June 30 Hershey Kisses

Returning for the third year to the Noon Music series in Logan are the Hershey Kisses singing group from Clifton and Dayton, Idaho. This group of seven ladies has been singing together for six years. You can probably guess that they got their name from their love of chocolate!

This year’s program will feature an exciting medley of Irving Berlin songs, several patriotic numbers to honor America and, of course, their fun theme song “Chocolate!” Also joining the Kisses, and making their second appearance in this concert, are the Chocolate Chips, young children and grandchildren of members of the group. These kids stole the show last year, and will most likely do it again.

Film “The Hangover Part II” Rated R ★1⁄2 It’s hard to imagine a worse attempt at cashing in a second time. Seriously, it feels like the script was pieced together with the help of Mad Libs, with only slightly different and raunchier details replacing those that helped the original “Hangover” from 2009 become the highestgrossing R-rated comedy of all time. But so much of the allure of that first film was the novelty of the premise, the unpredictability of the adventures, and the sense that we, too, were wandering in a daze, helping solve the mystery of the debauched night before. Giving the people what they want is one thing. Making nearly the exact same movie a second time, but shifting the setting to Thailand, is just ... what, lazy? Arrogant?

Maybe a combination of the two. That’s essentially what director Todd Phillips has done. This time, Ed Helms’ mild-mannered dentist, Stu, is the one getting married at a resort in Thailand, his fiancee’s family’s home country.

Although he insists he doesn’t want a bachelor party, he, Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) still manage to wake up in a stupor in a squalid Bangkok hotel. 101 minutes.

“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.

“Super 8”

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 refer-

ences 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 welldeveloped 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 smalltown, 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

he bigger they are, the harder they fall.

That’s the case with Pixar’s latest effort. I

By Aaron Peck guess it was bound to happen. Pixar’s lifetime as a movie studio has been one of the most stellar accomplishments in Hollywood. Year after year they put out soulful, heartfelt movies. They redefined animation, created an entirely new animation medium, and made parents happy to go to the movies with their children. Pixar has given us some memorable moments over the years. They’ve given us innovative, clever movies like “The Incredibles,” “Toy Story,” ning McQueen takes a “Monsters Inc.,” “Wallbackseat here as Mater e,” “Up” and “Finding oafs around the world Nemo.” That’s not even getting into not-so-hilarithe whole list. Their filmography is any other ous shenanigans.

On the contrary, “Cars 2” is a dismal film on all fronts. It lacks the subtle cleverness that every other Pixar film has in droves. It feels haphazardly put together and poorly executed. It’s almost impossible to imagine that famed Pixar

After the movie ended there was an awkward pause and then a tepid applause. Not so much for the movie, but for the effort Pixar has put in up until now. I haven’t lost faith in the studio, but this is a major setback.

Even Pixar is fallible.

or undraped, models serve as “objects, just like any other object” she paints or draws.

“You can’t think about sex and draw at the same time,” Larsen said. “Actually, when you draw, you try not to think about anything.”

Di Lewis, who has worked as an undraped model in Cache Valley, said the job served her a nice “supplement to ‘student poverty.’”

Lewis saw an announcement on the job board when she was a student at Utah State University and decided to try it.

“The first few times are uncomfortable and awkward,” she said. “But then you realize that artists don’t see you as humans; they just see you as pieces, noticing a shadow or a movement they want to capture.”

According to Lewis, who

has done undraped modeling in other parts of the state, the typical pay range for nude posing ranges between $10 to $20. Lewis was paid $15 in Cache Valley.

Larsen said nude art is not meant to encourage everyday nudity.

“There is a certain style and artistic interpretation that individual artists put in,” she said. “It’s different than taking naked pictures of yourself.”

Currently, artists can practice their figure drawing skills at the Logan Center for the Arts and the USU art department painting and drawing classes.

“We all have a human body,” Larsen said. “Think about it this way: Are you offended when you see your naked body in the mirror or your spouse’s (body).”

Figure drawing of undraped models is a process that most artists experience to improve their painting or drawing skills. Di Lewis, who has worked as an undraped model, said, “The first few times are uncomfortable and awkward, but then you realize that artists don’t see you as humans; they just see you as pieces, noticing a shadow or a movement they want to capture.”

or undraped, models serve as “objects, just like any other object” she paints or draws.

“You can’t think about sex and draw at the same time,” Larsen said. “Actually, when you draw, you try not to think about anything.”

Di Lewis, who has worked as an undraped model in Cache Valley, said the job served her a nice “supplement to ‘student poverty.’”

Lewis saw an announcement on the job board when she was a student at Utah State University and decided to try it.

“The first few times are uncomfortable and awkward,” she said. “But then you realize that artists don’t see you as humans; they just see you as pieces, noticing a shadow or a movement they want to capture.”

According to Lewis, who

has done undraped modeling in other parts of the state, the typical pay range for nude posing ranges between $10 to $20. Lewis was paid $15 in Cache Valley.

Larsen said nude art is not meant to encourage everyday nudity.

“There is a certain style and artistic interpretation that individual artists put in,” she said. “It’s different than taking naked pictures of yourself.”

Currently, artists can practice their figure drawing skills at the Logan Center for the Arts and the USU art department painting and drawing classes.

“We all have a human body,” Larsen said. “Think about it this way: Are you offended when you see your naked body in the mirror or your spouse’s (body).”

Figure drawing of undraped models is a process that most artists experience to improve their painting or drawing skills.

Beware the dangers of food porn and lies Slightly I Off Center promise not to use any puns or double entendres about the recently deposed politician whose name is a synonym for frankfurter. That really should have never made the news.

Depicting body parts has been around since humans started painting on stone walls. It’s just a lot easier to send them on Twitter now than it was to lure a potential primordial paramour into your cave.

Besides, pornography is not just about body parts. People tend to forget that one of the definitions is any “lurid or sensational material.” The new frontier of pornography is food.

Think about it. Eat all you want; don’t gain weight. No, really meditate on it. Eat all you want, don’t gain weight.

Is there anything more lurid or sensational than that?

There is an orgy just waiting for you in your refrigerator.

Statistics suggest that there is a spike in Krispy Kreme sales the week leading up to any end-of-the-world prediction.

About 10 times a day one of my Facebook friends posts a picture of something they ate; or more correctly, were about to eat.

We’ve become immune to a lot of fantasy advertising, but food porn is flourishing – billboards, glossy ads, vendors at sporting events; the barrage on the senses is unrelenting. Food pornographers even have their own uncensored television channel called The Food Network. And it’s not even pay-per-view! At some point you look at the barrage of advertisements and realize that the Lamborghini, the six pack abs in 5 minutes a day and the Tiger Woods drives are not possible, but food is an attainable, and only mildly regulated, fetish.

Food has the same siren song as people porn: “Come on, just a little bit won’t hurt you, after all, it is a natural urge,” “It will make you feel better,” “Nobody has to know,” “This is just between you and your bucket of chicken,” “It’s a victimless crime,” “It will be fine; all you have to do is run 50

At age 86 Nancy Israelsen completes mural

By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

T

hree years ago, at the age of 83, Nancy Israelsen decided to take on a big, new project – one that would not only fill her living room and garage with paint supplies and chip board slabs, but eventually cover the ceiling of her family’s nearly 100-yearold cabin.

Israelsen has been working on a mural of the sky and trees, and last weekend her children and grandchildren started moving the finished boards to the cabin near Beaver Mountain. There, they will be nailed up and hang above her posterity – which is currently around 200 – at family reunions and holiday gatherings.

The mural is pretty massive; Israelsen painted 35 8- by 4-foot chip boards with bright blue paint, then added colorful butterflies, birds and other animals her family has seen in the trees by the cabin. Last Friday, June 17, the boards were lined up on tables that took up her whole garage.

Some of them were lined up against the walls and her son and daughter-inlaw, Dwight and Jill Israelsen, moved

and organized them so they all connect. One of the boards had a duck, another an eagle. Squirrels and porcupines made appearances on some of the slabs, as did an unfinished beaver, which Israelsen planned to finish that weekend. The mural even includes her dog, who figured out how to climb trees in an attempt to catch birds.

Israelsen said she’s been drawing and painting her whole life. She majored in art at Utah State University after having 12 children with her husband, Lyle. Her main focus was illustration and she has completed several art projects throughout the years for church and her family. She’s also done logo design for a few local businesses.

“I’ve had a lot of fun with art,” Israelsen said, adding she made several visual aids for children during her 27 years as an LDS Primary chorister.

In 1968 she wrote and illustrated a book for her family called “The Israelsen Zoo,” which has portrait drawings of her children, as well as dozens of farm animals. Israelsen also illustrated a few church books.

Her latest project, the mural, was spread out over the last few years in part because of Lyle passing away and some other things that came up.

“This has been a happy thing for me to do,” she said.

Review: ‘Trespasser’ filled with twists and turns

By Bruce DeSilva For The Associated Press

hen a young woman W hits a deer with her car on a lonely coast road

in Maine, Mike Bowditch, a 25-year-old game warden, gets the call. But when he arrives at the scene, he finds only a car with a smashed front end. Both the woman and the carcass are gone.

The woman probably called a friend to pick her up, Mike figures. Or maybe she lives in one of the fancy waterfront cottages nearby and decided to walk home. As for the deer, it was probably scooped up by one of the many poachers who live nearby.

As he drives away from the

scene, however, Mike cannot shake the gut feeling that something is amiss.

“Trespasser” is the second novel by Paul Doiron, editor of Down East Magazine.

The first, “The Poacher’s Son,” which also featured Bowditch, was an Edgar Award nominee for best first novel of 2010.

As the story opens, Mike and his live-in girlfriend, Sarah, are still trying to put their lives back together after the madness of the first novel, when Mike tried to prove that his violent, alcoholic father wasn’t a murderer — and was proven wrong.

When the missing girl turns up raped and asphyxiated in a nearby mansion, Mike

Nick Heller returns in ‘Buried Secrets’

By Jeff Ayers For The Associated Press

ick Heller, the main N character in Joseph Finder’s “Vanished,” returns in the author’s new thriller, “Buried Secrets.”

It will hold readers’ attention from beginning to end.

Heller is a former operative who now works as a detective for wealthy corporations and individuals, kind of like a one-man A-Team.

When Alexandra Marcus, the daughter of a family friend, disappears, her father knows he can trust Heller to get her back.

Alexandra has been placed in a coffin and buried alive.

Her only link to the outside

world is her captor. What she doesn’t know is that a camera is recording her every move, both to make sure she stays in line and to show her father what she’s experiencing.

A simple ransom becomes more complicated when the kidnapper asks for data instead of money.

Surprisingly, her father refuses.

Heller has to skirt the law and go behind his back to get Alexandra safely back home.

Heller is a compelling and flawed hero who pursues justice at all costs. The pageturning suspense and the plot twists make “Buried Secrets” a candidate for the best-seller lists.

wonders if he might have been able to save her if he’d listened to his gut.

The murder scene resembles another from seven years ago, when another young woman was raped and murdered, and a young Maine lobsterman was sent to prison for the crime. The convict’s relatives, who are convinced he was framed, think the new case means they were right.

They ask for Mike’s help.

The state’s law enforcement establishment orders Mike to butt out.

But of course, he doesn’t.

Mike’s renegade investigation, and his not-so-routine work as a game warden, drag him and the reader though the extremes of Maine soci-

ety: the poachers and meth cookers, the jerks who tear up the wilderness with allterrain vehicles, the rich who vacation on the coastline and

look down their noses at the locals, the tar paper shacks, the rusting mobile homes, the waterfront mansions, and even a vicious pit bull named Nancy.

Doiron’s plot is heartpounding, filled with startling twists and turns. The main characters, some lovable and others despicable, are all multidimensional. And the stylish prose is pitch-perfect, especially in its evocative descriptions of the beauty, and occasionally the ugliness, of coastal Maine in early spring.

The story’s slam-bang ending leaves Mike’s life in tatters, and the reader anxious to know what the author has in store for him next.
