Bob Bissland uses an electronic pad to draw on his computer while working on a project in his studio. Getting a classical art education doesn’t necessarily mean carving your future in stone. For Bissland, a degree in landscape architecture was one step toward a lifelong career in graphic design and the start of many friendships with clients and artists that have changed his life.

LOGS ARE SO STRANGE to me. I won’t deny that I read many of them, but every time I do I think about how odd it is that I am reading about — and actually somewhat interested in — what complete strangers are doing. Thousands of people look at pictures of their kids (whom we’ll never meet), take advice from them, try their recipes and check back every day to see what we’ve missed.

My new favorite blog, mycharmingkids.net, is all about one woman’s journey through motherhood and marriage and a million other things (according to her self description, she’s into ... “photography and all things colorful, homeschooling, natural living, traveling, living with no television, cloth diapering, advocating for small government, speaking German, sponsoring children in developing countries, vaccination delaying and straw bale gardening”).

It’s funny, because going through that list,

I’m pretty much none of those things. So why am I so interested in how she’s living her life and what her kids are up to on a daily basis?

I think it must be our society’s fixation with, and easy access to, other people’s lives.

Like with Facebook, it’s all too easy to figure it all out by just logging onto the Internet.

We all look through pictures of people we don’t know with kids we’ve never seen doing things we’ll probably never care to do. It used to be that we’d hear about the neighbors from the other neighbors and that was it; now we’re following people from across the country and yes, our neighbors are, too.

This cat is available for adoption!

Pet: Bella From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: “Bella is a long-haired female. She is dramatically beautiful with a luxurious coat and big eyes. And like many a diva, she can be possessive and temperamental. She has already been dumped twice, so she needs a little patient care in order for her to relax and show you her loving side. She wants to be the only pet in the home so she doesn’t have to share you. She would probably also do better in a home without little children. She basically needs an owner who is willing to give her some time to adjust and to just let her be a cat.” If you would like to meet Bella or learn more about her, contact Sheri at 787-1751. The adoption fee for most Four Paws cats is $75, which includes spay/neuter and shots.

Celebrate Corinne at sixth annual pageant

T

HE SIXTH ANNUAL

Corinne Pageant will be held June 25 and 26 in the Corinne city park. The cast rehearsed in the park all week to bring you the best-ever pageant play that will tell of a colorful history of the town of Corinne and its “boom years.”

This year’s pageant will go back to the original script, but with some fun twists and scenes for more interest and laughs.

Corinne, the “Burg on the Bear,” has a very different history compared to the rest of Utah’s towns, as it was known as the “Gentile Capital” of Utah — not settled by the Mormon pioneers, Corinne originated as the last town built along the transcontinental railroad and was the last of the “Hell on Wheels” town built just before the joining of the rails at Promontory summit.

In its boom years of 1869-71, grand speculation and promo-

tion were on the rise. Promoters could see that the Union Pacific Railroad would build through the Bear River marshes toward Promontory and eventually meet with the Central Pacific Railroad. They started to plan a great city, and by March 1869, 500 frame buildings and tents had been erected, housing a population of 1,500.

Soon Corinne became a freighting center, shipping finished goods north to Idaho and Montana, and received ore back to be smelted in Corinne. At this time many teamsters would come to Corinne, lining up their wagons and increasing the population to 10,000. Corinne had no Mormon churches in it at this time, but many other denominations were present, and the Methodist church still stands here today as the oldest non-Mormon church still standing in Utah.

The annual pageant also brings

out the christening of the steamship “The City of Corinne,” the only steamship west of the Mississippi that carried ore, goods and passengers along the Bear River to the Great Salt Lake and back. Gen. Williamson attempted to make Corinne the capital city of Utah, and Brigham Young is brought back to life as he warns of the coming collapse of the town. A divorce machine is featured where for $2.50, one can get a writ of divorce, which gives a Mr. Shafley the ability of great freedom to “fly like a bird.”

The pageant will begin at dusk or a little after 9 p.m., but there will be a pre-show featuring western music and talent beginning at 7 p.m. Concessions will also be sold.

Families should bring their lawn chairs, blankets, mosquito spray, umbrellas (in case of rain) and a dollar or two to buy some Dutch-oven peach cobbler.

and Orchestra with special guest Grammy Award nominee Peter Cetera, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 1, in the Kent Concert Hall on the campus of Utah State University. Tickets are $20, $25 and $30 and available at the Caine School of the Arts Box Office and at the Eccles Theatre Ticket Office, 43 S. Main St.; by calling 797-8022; or online at www. americanfestivalchorus.org.

The chorus and orchestra will perform show tunes and patriotic favorites, then Cetera and his band will take the stage with the orchestra.

Singer, songwriter and bassist Cetera has enjoyed a remarkable solo career with two Grammy Award nominations,

an Academy Award nomination and four hit singles landing at No. 1. From 1968 to 1986 Cetera played with the legendary rock group Chicago. Today Cetera appears with his fivepiece unplugged group to audiences around the world.

Shapiro: Energetic and passionate

HAPIRO WILL perform with DJ Vitamins and JD Carter (pop/rock) at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 6, at Why Sound, 30 Federal Ave. Cover charge is $5.

For more information, visit www.myspace.com/whysound.

Shapiro, a Washington, D.C., rock band, possesses a fresh, epic and fun-loving sound coupled with a near-reckless energy that leaves listeners mesmerized. Following relentless touring nationwide and self-releasing their EP, “You Are Alone,” the band drew the attention of producer/engineer John Mark Painter (Ben Folds, Death Cab for Cutie, John Mayer) who immedi-

ately thought they should work together. Shapiro spent numerous weeks at IHOF Studio (Tim Finn, Frally, Alva Leigh) recording their debut full length, self-titled “Shapiro.” Showcasing their witty songwriting, the album also demonstrates Shapiro’s musical acuteness. The result is a masterpiece of a record with themes of human relationships and heartbreak, all packaged in a theatrical mischievousness.

This record succeeds in capturing a snapshot of the energetic and passionate live show for which Shapiro is best known and loved by their loyal fans.

Singer, songwriter and producer Rachael Sage has penned quirky, melodic pop songs since she was old enough to reach the piano keys. Over the course of her career she has steadily built a loyal grassroots fan base

seminal artists as Eric Burdon, John Lee Hooker, Judy Collins and Colin Hay, and prompted Performing Songwriter Magazine to name her “One of the Top 100 Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years.” Leaving aside set lists in favor of a more spontaneous approach, every show she performs combines top-notch musicianship with hilarious betweensong banter, what The New York Times recently dubbed Sage’s “inner Fanny Brice.”

Delving into the writing process for her latest album,

USU Alumni Band kicks off its summer season

HE UTAH STATE T University Alumni Band will kick off its summer season

at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 27, on the USU Quad immediately east of Old Main. Admission is free and everyone is invited.

The Alumni Band concert tradition was launched in 1963 by USU music department faculty

member Max Dalby. Since then, concerts have been held at a variety of venues, indoor and out, and have developed a loyal following, including members of the band itself, said current director and USU music department faculty member Nicholas Morrison.

While there are upwards of 250 musicians on the band’s active

list, each concert features approximately 60 musicians, including a core group of approximately 20 to 30 who will perform in all five concerts this summer.

The USU concerts feature a mix of marches, popular music and classical offerings. Guest soloists — both vocal and instrumental — are often on the pro-

gram, and a variety of conductors are featured. The program also includes the “Intermission Feature,” where smaller groups or ensembles are invited by Morrison to perform.

While Morrison will be on the podium for most of the June 27 opening concert, Thomas P. Rohrer, director of bands at

USU, takes the baton for one.

Also in the spotlight is USU faculty member Mark Emile, who is the featured violin soloist in the theme from the film “Schindler’s List.” The evening’s “Intermission Feature” is a Civil War brass band that includes Hal Briggs, principal trumpet player in the Alumni Band.

Film New this week “Grown Ups” Rated PG-13 ★ Shockingly inept even by the standards we’ve come to expect from a Happy Madison production, this feels as if it were made without considering whether an audience would ever actually see it. It assaults us with an awkward mix of humor (which is rarely funny) and heart (which is never touching), but even more amateurishly, it features copious cutaways to characters laughing at each others’ jokes. For long stretches of time, Adam Sandler and Co. sit around a New England lake house goofing on each other, telling stories and reminiscing about old times. Given that these other characters are played by Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, you would hope that some of the lines would work (from James and Rock, at least).

One gets the distinct impression that these guys, four out of five of whom are “Saturday Night Live” alumni, improvised most of their insults and one-liners, and there just happened to be a camera or two rolling. The plot, which is essentially “The Big Chill” with jokes about flatulence and bunions, finds these

five childhood friends reuniting for the funeral of the basketball coach who led them to a championship in 1978. PG-13 for crude material including suggestive references, language and some male rear nudity. 98 min.

Still playing “Toy Story 3” Rated G ★★★ This is what happens when you’re good at your job: Everyone expects excellence from you, and anything even slightly short of that feels like a letdown. “Toy Story 3” is a gorgeous film — funny, sweet and clever in the tradition of the best Pixar movies — but because it comes from that studio’s nearly flawless tradition, including two “Toy Story” predecessors, the expectations naturally are inflated. The storytelling in no way is in question; it never is at Pixar, which is the fundamental reason their films are so strong. Neither is the voice cast, led once again

by Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, with formidable newcomers like Ned Beatty thrown into the mix. The details are as vibrant and tactile as ever: the textures and expressions, the use of light, angles and perspective. And the core concept

— that toys have a rich, complex interior life when people aren’t around — still resonates all these years later. If “Toy Story” hadn’t come out in 1995 and “Toy Story 2” hadn’t followed it in 1999, “Toy Story 3” would stand on its own as a breakthrough.

Trouble is, those earlier movies do exist. And by comparison, this third installment — in which Andy heads off to college and the toys end up in day care — doesn’t feel quite so fresh. G. In 3-D and IMAX 3-D. 98 min.

“The A-Team” Rated PG-13 ★★★ “Overkill is underrated,” says Hannibal Smith, leader of “The A-Team,” while planning a particularly elaborate and explosive scheme to trap a bad guy. Director and co-writer Joe Carnahan apparently subscribes to this school of thought, as well.

If you’re looking for subtlety, look elsewhere. Carnahan’s big-screen version of the ’80s TV series is ridiculously overthe-top, full of wild helicopter chases and exploding sport utility vehicles and tumbling cargo containers. At times it feels like little more than a cacophony of automatic gunfire and shattered glass. Then again, you shouldn’t really expect anything

else given the source material.

Mainly it’s just flat-out fun, with a cheeky sense of humor — way more enjoyable than you might expect when you consider the ignominious history of movies inspired by TV shows. Carnahan keeps things moving; the film’s fluid editing is especially noticeable during the big set pieces — impossibly complex, intricately timed missions that the team makes look easy. The strength of the cast helps: Liam Neeson as Hannibal, the team’s cigarchomping mastermind; Bradley

Cooper, an ideal choice to play charmer Templeton “Face” Peck; and “District 9” star Sharlto Copley, bringing equal amounts of humor and danger to the role of “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock. Even mixed martial arts star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson offers a solid presence, filling the intimidating shoes of Mr. T to play B.A. Baracus. PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence throughout, language and smoking. 118 min.

AY WHAT YOU will about Tom Cruise and his tirades over the past few years, but he’s got charisma when he’s on the big screen. So much charisma, in fact, that he can carry an entire movie on his back without flinching. Such is the case with the new romantic-action-comedy “Knight and Day.” Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) is one of those spies who makes everything — from death-defying motorcycle chases to running along rooftops — look easy. Like Jason Bourne, Roy is a lethal weapon all by himself, but unlike Bourne, Roy has fun doing it. While Bourne wears a scowl on his face for much of the trilogy, Roy goes about espionage with a giant grin.

June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is the innocent bystander. Trying to get a flight home for her sister’s wedding, Roy uses the unwitting June to sneak an item past airline security for him.

(Why he does this isn’t really clear, though, since Roy seems like the kind of guy who could have snuck the object past security without any problems.) It’s OK though; we aren’t supposed to question much here.

Turns out Roy is being hunted down by the U.S. government.

He’s gone rogue, or at least that’s what the government says.

The plane June and Roy ultimately get on is full of deadly assassins who have been hired to kill Roy and retrieve whatever he has in his possession.

As Roy is fighting off one attacker after another on the plane, we soon realize this is much more a comedy than an action movie. That’s good news for us, because Tom Cruise has the timing of any great stand-

up comedian. He fights off his attackers as he cracks jokes, but the jokes never seem forced or badly written. It’s a laughout-loud scene that only leads to more hilarious scenes down the road. Take, for example, a chase scene involving June in a car with devious agents, while Roy chases them down. We only see what June sees, which is a fun take on a chase scene in and of itself. As we see Roy fly past one of the windows he disappears from view, and the only thing we see after that is his motorcycle slowing drifting into a lake without him. The effect is one of surprise, but it’s also just darned funny.

“Knight and Day” isn’t a perfect comedic-action movie in the vein of the early “Indiana Jones” movies. The third act gets far too serious for its own good, giving us flashbacks of the dreadful “Mission: Impossible

★★★ “Knight and Day” Rated PG-13

2.” CG scenes run amok, it’s true, and at times the movie feels sloppy because of all the blatant computer-enhanced graphics.

Planes, SUVs flipping end over end — there’s no stop to the CG here. Thankfully the shaky-cam, which has infected most every modern action film, is kept at bay. Fight scenes are quickly cut, yes, but they give us more of a feel for the actual space being taken up by the actors.

Cruise is a delight here.

Whatever you think about him as a person, it’s hard to deny his uncanny screen presence. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him take the reins of a comedic role (not counting his hilarious, but brief, role in “Tropic Thunder”). Cruise and Diaz do have chemistry, and their building fondness for each other seems genuine. “Knight and Day”’ is a pleasant surprise, but don’t be surprised when the third act fizzles out.

‘Edgy’ designs Portrait by Alan Murray

Artist Bob Bissland sits in his office in Logan on Wednesday. Bissland’s work is featured in the 2010 Graphis International Poster Annual.

Artist Bob Bissland’s degree in landscape architecture was one step toward a lifelong career in graphic design. >> By Matthew K. Jensen <<

“I did this poster for the Tin Angel Cafe in Salt Lake City when they were kind enough to give me a poster show last year in their cafe. They purchased the rights to it and use it in advertising the cafe. This poster has been accepted into the Graphis Poster Annual competition and will be published in 2011.”

“I did this poster for the R&B band my wife played in for four years in Logan, Badly Bent. This advertised an out-of-town gig at Beatniks in Ogden.

This poster won a gold award in the Creativity 31 annual competition in 2001.”

The work is currently on display through August at DesignArts Utah ’10 at the Rio Grande Depot in Salt Lake City.

Bissland is reluctant to call himself talented but says his work has something of an “edge” that he attributes to his formal study of landscape architecture.

“I think I’ve been extremely lucky,” he said. “Even if you have talent, it’s about being at the right place at the right time.”

At a recent art show, one of his posters caught the eye of a man who organized a John Wayne film festival at the University of Utah. Bissland was commissioned to design a poster for the event and was instructed to steer clear of the typical “western look” used so commonly for John Wayne-themed gatherings. The final design was stylized after the 1958 film “The Barbarian and the Geisha,” and included subtle aspects of East meets West.

The artist secured the necessary legal rights before printing the poster and shortly after the event, received a correspondence from Wayne’s proprietor. What

“I did this poster for the Cache Valley Gardeners’ Market in 2006 to help advertise the market in any way it could.”

“I did this poster in a limited signed edition in honor of Brent Fluckinger’s longtime Logan business, Custom Muffler and Speed, which has since closed ... and also because 37 years ago he didn’t care that I had long hair and was the only one in Logan that would work on my ’66 VW Bus. ... This poster was accepted into the Graphis Poster Annual competition in 2009 and DesignArts Utah 2007 Exhibition.”

Bissland thought was a written notice of copyright infringement was actually a Christmas card signed by John Wayne’s son, Ethan, who praised him for the work.

Another of Bissland’s award-winning designs promoted a 2008 Logan concert where guest jazz musician Chris Vadala played with the Utah State University Jazz Orchestra.

Vadala played in the Chuck Mangione Quartet and was best known for his ability to pick up and play any woodwind.

Bissland captures the man’s musical talent in the jazz poster, blending what he calls “Three Muses” around the musician, who offer him a variety of instruments as he entertains the crowd.

Graphis published the poster in its 2010 worldwide edition.

“There were thousands of entries this year,” he said. “And in my little life, it’s a very big deal to get in this.”

Earlier this year Bissland was recognized in THE magazine in Santa Fe, N.M., for his poster tribute to Little

Milton Campbell, a Grammy-nominated blues and sole singer who died in 2005.

Bissland created the work as part of a memorial to Milton.

Success for Bissland didn’t come easy, or even quickly. He’s had 22 Graphis submissions rejected over the years.

“You do something long enough and it’ll finally work out,” he said. “I first started in Logan in 1986. That first month people would ask me to do something and I’d think, ‘Oh, that will be my community service.’ But then other people asked for help and it went on and on and my first month of work I made $8.”

As he built his clientele, Bissland found his niche in graphic design and realized he always had a passion for poster making.

“The first poster I remember was when I was in the fourth grade,” he said, recalling how his teacher asked the class if anyone would volunteer to spruce up the school’s bulletin board. “Nobody raised their hand so I did the poster.”

“This poster is from the new Caffe Ibis coffee bag. There are seven different labels for different regions where their coffees are grown and/or type of roast or blend. The new bag, and labels blown up to poster size, are currently in the DesignArts Utah 2010 Exhibition in Salt Lake City at the Rio Gallery.”

“This poster was published in a signed limited edition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Bridger Folk Society as a fundraising vehicle.

It was also printed by Herald Printing of Logan in an unsigned edition of 400. The numbers have the name inside of every artist that performed over the span of 30 years.”

Knowing that design was in his blood and running the risk of being a starving artist, Bissland opted for a classical art education.

“I went into landscape architecture partly out of respect for my parents, who probably thought I was going to end up some drunk Bohemian beatnik if I became an artist,” he quipped. “Landscape architecture allowed me to do art that I was interested in but could still make a living.”

After graduation, Bissland worked for a Washington, D.C., architecture firm and was consistently asked to design graphics for projects and presentations.

He eventually left the field, taking jobs in graphic design at USU and working for clients including the Tibet Fund in New York, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, United Way and the National Organization for Women.

Bissland runs a studio at 100 Church St. in Logan where he has been located since 2003.

“I did this poster to advertise a concert by Larry Smith’s Jazz Kicks Band. They play one or two concerts a year in Logan. Larry had the idea of doing a “retro” poster for their “Nutcracker” Christmas concert last December. I designed this in the style of Jim Flora, a record album artist in the ’50s and ’60s.

This poster has been accepted into the Graphis Poster Annual competition and will be published in 2011.”

Fathers, not Father’s, Day

HAT WAS THAT whooshing sound? I think it was Father’s Day passing more quickly than the first day of summer.

Women are all wrong about men being insensitive. We’re easy. All you have to do to get a man crying like he’s wearing onion contact lenses is to ask him about his dad. Of course, the outcome is probably not going to be what you expected or wanted. You’re still going to want the guy to talk about feelings, but what he is going to talk about is playing catch, fishing, rude fireside jokes and a generally squandered youth.

You are not going to fathom our flaccidhearted mixture of pain and indifference any more than we are going to understand your fixation with “American Idol.” Still, you better take what you can get because that is as close as you are going to get to a Hallmark moment on the guys’ side of the holidays.

Father’s Day is just an afterthought in the sentimental planned holiday business anyway because we really don’t know what to say or who to say it to in cards, advertisements or otherwise. We give our fathers ties, guns and barbeque equipment while mothers get flowers, dinners and rough-hewn poetry. True, dads are generally more distant both emotionally and geographically than mothers, but they are still part of the genetic thread that affects our future as much as our environment. What’s the difference in the two holidays? With the exception of the small percentage of orphans, most of us are certain who our mothers are.

“Who’s your father?” isn’t just a rude or inane question. Given the flip-a-coin divorce rate and the 35 percent of children born out of wedlock, it is more than just a dilemma of terminology. Let’s have a more realistic view of modern family life and celebrate fathers, not Father’s Day. I grew up with a dad in the house, but I didn’t meet my father until I was 30 so I’ve dealt with “yes, but” explanations for years. This one is my biological father and that one is my stepfather, but he’s my “real” father. No, Hinkamp isn’t my birth name, but it is my real name on my birth certificate because that’s what they do when only one parent adopts you. Confusing, but it’s a reality many of us share.

It’s going to get even weirder as

Slightly Off Center

By Dennis Hinkamp

more people choose to procreate using donated sperm and eggs. Grown-up test-tube babies and children of artificially inseminated mothers will just have to send a card to a post office box at a hospital. Fatherhood is the biggest pink elephant in most people’s family rooms already; why not give the beast a name like Fathers Day? Then at least Hallmark and hardware stores can profit from the added gift-giving occasion.

One of my lowest points in my longterm affair with academia was asking an honored professor if there was anything we could do to help non-custodial fathers learn to be better parents from a distance and having the response be, “They don’t deserve any help.” Kids have kids and really young people make really big mistakes sometimes and there isn’t much you can do to legislate against it. We let most people out of prison eventually, but we’re still having a tough time with this father thing.

It’s easy to be a father, but it’s hard to be a dad; or is it the other way around?

Many of us can have multiple dads while only the polygamous few actually grow up with more than one mom. Let just celebrate having either.

Dennis Hinkamp is neither. Feedback at dhinkamp@msn.com.

“Take It” by Brenda Schoenfeld

Utah family helps bring safe water to Fiji

A

FUNDRAISER TO support the Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project’s efforts to bring clean drinking water to the Navautu Village will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 30, at the New Yorker Restaurant, 40 W. Market St., Salt Lake City.

Event will include a silent auction and light refreshments.

Tickets are a suggested donation of $50 and can be purchased at wananavukadavu.org or at the restaurant from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. through June 29.

Donations to the silent auction can be made by e-mailing nancy@wananavukadavu.org.

In June 2009, Logan native Nancy Thompson Mahler made her first trip to Fiji to visit her sons, Ben and Scott Sorensen, who had been living with families in the villages of Drue and Navautu on Fiji’s Kadavu Island while volunteering on a school-building project.

Through the friendships Ben and Scott developed during their stay in Fiji, Nancy and her husband, Heinz, discovered despite the breathtaking beauty and images of abundance that Fiji conjures, many rural villages in the Islands lack basic necessities such as one of the most critical to health and wellbeing: potable water. Although Fiji has plentiful sources of fresh water, more than half of the country’s population does not have access to safe drinking

water; typhoid and other waterborne illnesses are major health concerns.

On Kadavu, available water supplies exist above the rainforest canopy, at the top of the mountains in natural springs and artesian aquifers. However, in the Fijian Islands, there is no means accessing these sources from many of the coastal villages where the people largely make their living from fishing and subsistence farming.

Inspired by the villagers she met, Nancy returned to Utah determined to find a way to bring clean water to Kadavu.

Working with Ben and Scott and partnering with the local community in the villages, they developed a system to channel water from its source to Nuku based on water management practices employed in other communities in Fiji, and set up tanks in the village for water storage. With the generous support of private donors from the Utah community and around the globe, as well as her own personal funds, Nancy turned this vision into reality.

While Nancy was busy raising funds for the effort, Ben stayed in Fiji to work side-byside with the inhabitants of each village as well as coordinating with the Fijian government to start laying down the pipes to bring water to the village and building the foundations needed to support the water tanks.

As Nancy and her family spent more time with the people of Fiji, she realized the need for clean drinking water in Fiji extended beyond just Kadavu Island to other villages in the chain of islands that comprise the country. With the support of her husband, sons and daughter, Erica, Nancy formed Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project, a nonprofit whose goal is to provide clean drinking water to rural villages throughout the Fiji Islands.

“In Fiji, ‘wananavu’ means ‘everything is good,’ (and) Kadavu is the name of the island in Fiji where our water project became a reality,” explains Nancy. “Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project is the perfect name for our water project — everything is good and we hope to help make it better.”

Nancy returned to Kadavu in April to celebrate the completion of the Nuku project with the installation of the water tank and plumbing to provide a constant flow of clean water.

With the successful completion of the Nuku project, Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project continues its work with a new undertaking to bring safe water to Navautu village. As Nancy’s motto says, “One village at a time, together we can.”

ritten by English playwright Noel Coward, “Blithe Spirit” tells the story of novelist Charles Condomine, who is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife as she stops at nothing to reclaim him. Charles is the only one able to see the ghost, and the comedy unfolds as Charles’ dead wife does her best to disrupt his current marriage.

Director Lynda Linford said although the play is whimsical, there is a deeper meaning behind the comedy. Written in England during World War II, “Blithe Spirit” is a story of hope, regeneration and rejuvenation, she said.

Linford teaches theater at USU and has both acted and directed for the OLRC for 20 years.

First performed in 1941 in London, “Blithe Spirit” enjoyed success in Britain and on Broadway. The play has also been revived and performed on Broadway throughout the 1970s, 1980s and, most recently, in 2009.

Featured in the major roles in the OLRC production are Keri Hostetler Larsen (Madame Arcati), Phillip R. Lowe (Charles Condomine), Colleen Baum (Ruth) and Amanda Mahoney (Elvira).

ich with warmth, heart and passion, the musical “Always … Patsy Cline” relives the career of the beloved American country music singer as seen through the eyes of her biggest fan, Houston housewife Louise Seger. The OLRC production is directed by Adrianne Moore, a faculty member in USU’s theater arts department.

The style of “Always … Patsy Cline” alternates between Seger’s hilarious monologues characterized by her strong Texas persona

he Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” features three actors who take on the Herculean task of re-enacting the entire repertoire of Shakespeare in less than two hours.

Jim Christian, director of musical theater studies at Weber State University, is directing the play; it is his first time to direct for the OLRC. Christian described the performance as “structured improvisation, like what you would see if ‘Saturday Night Live’ got its hands on Shakespeare ...

“It’s Shakespeare at warp speed,” he said. “Shakespeare purists will love it, and those who have never read Shakespeare will consider it a light, user-friendly version.”

and Cline’s miraculous vocal ability, giving the show an extraordinarily intimate connection between the two characters and audience, Moore said.

Joining the OLRC company in the title role is Erica Hansen, an actress who has portrayed Cline three times for the Grand Theater in Salt Lake City. She said playing Patsy is the most thrilling, rewarding thing she’s ever done.

Actress Colleen Baum, who plays Seger, said her “spitfire char-

acter” will have audiences rolling in their seats.

And, according to Hansen, the musical isn’t just for country fans.

The show features country, blues, pop and rock ’n’ roll songs, including “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Waking After Midnight.”

Mike Christiansen, noted musician, recording artist and professor of guitar at USU, is musical director for the OLRC production.
