FROM THE EDITOR How does a high school art teacher spend his summer vacation? Well, in the case of Michael Bingham, two of the things at the top of your list are painting and riding your motorcycle.

And would you believe he found a way to combine the two?

Now, Bingham isn’t actually putting a brush to canvas while barreling down the open highway. But the Mountain Crest High School-based artist has been putting the finishing touches this week on a large mural (see the photo above) at the Logan Fine Gallery that he plans to title “Order and Chaos” – a reference to something he heard while in the middle of a solo, 10-day motorcycle trip.

Utilizing the “wherever the wind

takes me” philosophy, Bingham says he crossed Nevada before visiting Yosemite National Park and San Francisco. He then headed to Southern California, eventually ending up at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

It was while walking the hallways of his alma mater that Bingham overheard a teacher telling his class: “Great art is finding a balance between order and chaos.”

Bingham says that statement remained in his mind all the way back to Utah, and it has continued to resonate inside of him as he’s painted 17 different pieces of artwork which are hanging or will hang in the new Agricultural Sciences Building at Utah State.

“Order and Chaos” – a 24-foot-long piece composed of three separate panels – will be placed in the large atrium on the main floor in the next week or so.

Bingham says he doesn’t exactly know how to classify the brightly colored

painting, but his focus is create “layers” to draw the viewers in deeper and deeper. The agriculture theme is definitely at the forefront, however, with items such as the sun, a river, honeycombs and a farmhouse clearly visible.

At first glance, there is a feeling of “chaos” as you look at Bingham’s mural.

But the longer you look, the more “order” is visible – even if there has never been a definite plan behind the painting.

“I’ll just come in each morning and look at it and think, OK, I’ll add something here or take something out there,” Bingham says. “It’s just evolving and it’s made it really exciting for me because I don’t know what it will end up looking like. It will be a surprise to me, as well, to see what’s going to happen with this thing.”

A statement which could just as easily be referring to a long motorcycle trip.

A taste of Swamp Cabbage

Walter Parks and Co. deliver some swamp blues to Why Sound

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

Sitting at a small table outside of Caffe Ibis, it’s hard to miss Walter Parks.

The vocalist and guitarist for Swamp Cabbage, the Jacksonsville, Fla., native is sipping an iced tea while the last rays of sunshine trickle through the buildings of downtown Logan Wednesday evening. But it’s Parks’ size — a rail-thin 6-foot-5 — his fashion cowboy hat and long goatee that really make him stick out.

Not to mention the unplugged, electric guitar held in his large hands: a well-used and much-loved 1968 Guild.

“I guess I better pick the case up off the sidewalk before people start tossing money in it,” he says with a chuckle as soon as I arrive for our interview.

Parks and Swamp Cabbage are scheduled to perform a half-block away at Why Sound on Federal Avenue in about two hours. Known as a “swamp blues” band, Swamp Cabbage also includes accomplished musicians Jim DeVito on bass and Jagoda on drums.

A unique combination of blues and funk, this is actually Swamp Cabbage’s second visit to Logan in just over a year, and Parks says he has nothing but good things to say about Utah. He played at Utah State University in the ’90s as part of a folk duo called The Nudes, and he says he’s “always been curious about this area” because his mother’s side of the family is LDS. “Actually, the first paying music gig I ever had was playing for the Mormon church in Florida,” Parks says with a chuckle. “I still have the contract: 25 bucks. That’s how I essentially cut my teeth to playing gigs is at Mormon church dances when I was in junior high school. My uncle was

all mixed up Benatar set to rock Cruise-In ‘Music of ABBA’

Show slated for July 5

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

Concerts at the annual Cache Valley Cruise-In will return Friday, July 5, with a performance

by Pat Benatar at the Cache Fairgrounds.

Regarded as one of the top female rock vocalists of all time, Bentar will be joined on stage by her husband, Neil Giraldo, who has been an integral part of her success as her lead guitarist and songwriting partner since her debut in 1979. A fourtime Grammy Award winner, Benatar has sold more than 30 million albums and garnered 14 Top 40 hits, including such classics as “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Shadows of the Night” and “Love is a Battlefield.”

“The response from the community has been really, really good,” Cruise-In concert director Mary Zilles says. “It seems like the valley

is really supporting the concert, like they always do.”

Tickets for the Pat Benatar concert are available at Macey’s in Providence or online at www.ezticketlive.com.

Ticket prices start at just $29.50 for generaladmission seats, $39.50 for VIP floor seats, $59.50 for second-row reserved seats and $74.50 for front-row reserved seats.

Zilles says “four-pack specials” of $80 for four general-admission tickets or $120 for four VIP floor tickets are still available.

Gates open at 6:30 p.m. July 5, with Benatar scheduled to go on just after 8 p.m.

“This is our first female, so we’ll see how it goes,” Zilles says. “She’s 62, but she still sounds really, really good.”

ern rockers .38 Special played at the fairgrounds. Visits by Styx, American, Three Dog Night and the Beach Boys followed before the annual show was

suspended in 2012.

“Tickets sales have been going really good, but we need Cache Valley to really support it so we can do it again next year,” Zilles declared.

“We already have the band that we want to get for next year, now we just need to see that this response is big and then we’ll be able to lock ‘em in.”

USU music tradition celebrates 50 years Utah State University celebrates 50 years of music tradition this summer with five evening performances by the Alumni Band.

“Talented and dedicated alumni come together each summer to make music for all to enjoy,” says Nick Morrison, conductor of the band and senior associate dean in the Caine College of the Arts.

“Each sacrifices time they could spend with their families to perform, and this is a labor of love for them.”

Founded in 1963 by Max Dalby, faculty member in the Department of Music, the Alumni Band was born when administrators expressed concern that summer students at USU had nothing to do Sunday evenings.

“Being able to gather five Sundays each summer with dear friends and perform together is a rare opportunity,” says Mariann Lucy, one of Dalby’s daughters and committee member for the band’s 50th anniversary celebration. “Friendships that were forged during college years are renewed and fond memories are solidified as musicians rehearse and per-

form.”

Whether newly graduated or retired, the Alumni Band features musicians of all ages who have graduated from Utah State.

“Catching up with old friends enriches the entire experience, and it’s so nice to get to know the future generations of Alumni Band members,” says See USU on Page 13

The glamour and gold of the ’70s are back for this year’s Independence Day celebration in Logan that features “The Music of ABBA” performed by Arrival from Sweden July 3 at Romney Stadium on the campus of Utah State University. The act is a part of Freedom Fire, northern Utah’s annual holiday presentation.

“This is an exciting star-spangled event with the music of ABBA performed by Arrival from Sweden,” says Russ Akina, Logan City parks and recreation director.

Since 1995, Arrival from Sweden has toured more than 50 nations and appeared on TV and radio around the world. The group was given an unreleased song from ABBA to perform and also has exclusive permission to copy the original costumes.

Tickets for Freedom Fire are on sale now and start at $10. Groups of six or more will receive 15 percent off their tickets if purchased together. Gates open at 6 p.m. July 3: the pre-show begins at 7 p.m. and “The Music of ABBA” starts at 8 p.m., followed by fireworks.

again, this is not actually a “Die Hard” movie.

I think you can guess how the rest of Emmerich’s overly long, two-hour explosion-fest turns out. It runs lockstep in line with every other action movie out there, right down to the climactic fist fight of good versus evil, and the world’s longest three-minute timer countdown.

Kudos to Emmerich for not devolving the action into nauseating shaky-cam tactics, although his rapid-fire editing leaves much to be desired. As far as the AP Photo/Sony Columbia Pictures CGI-fueled action goes, Channing Tatum stars as a wannabe Secret Service agent in “White House Down.” there’s nothing creative or new here.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

So, there’s this movie where terrorists take over a building. A wisecracking, gun-toting cop named John, dressed in a dirty, white tank top, is the only person who stands between the terrorists and their plans for world domination.

What’s that? You thought it was “Die Hard” I was talking about? Well, so did I. That is until I just saw “White House Down,” which is either a send-up to the “Die Hard” franchise from smash-bang director Roland Emmerich, or a half-remembered-dreamturned-movie concocted

by Emmerich after he dozed off during a “Die Hard” marathon on TNT. Sure the budget is bigger, the sets more elaborate, the gravity heavier than ever, but that doesn’t stop “White House Down” from feeling like a blatant rip-off of John McClane’s earlier days. Granted “White House Down” is a better “Die Hard” movie than “A Good Day to Die Hard.” In a better world, where only good things happen in Hollywood, Channing Tatum gets stuck in the role Bruce Willis played in “A Good Day to Die Hard,” and Bruce Willis returns as John McClane saving the White House from invading terrorists during another one of his hellish days in “White House Down.” Of course we’d have to change the titles around a bit, but you get the idea. Emmerich has quickly pieced together an action movie, recalling just about every iconic thing from the “Die Hard” movies, stopping just short of Tatum yelling “Yippee ki-yay …”

ou could say that Ryan Innes has had quite a ride coming from Holladay to being a contestant on the hit reality TV show, “The Voice.”

These days, he may have gone from being seen by millions of viewers on a sound stage to performing in front of just hundreds of people on a small stage at Nibley Heritage Days, but Innes claims he is “hustling to make sure I don’t miss my opportunity” in talking to various record executives for a potential debut album.

Soon, “Season 5 will start, and we all have that ADD mentality,” Innes said in an interview at the Nibley City Office, just before he took to the stage on June 19. “I want to do this and do it in the biggest way possible; hopefully do it in an authentic way, and play the kind of music I want to play. Not the typical expected sounds that people might be waiting for. My record will surprise people.”

Innes was voted off “The Voice” in May after singing Gavin Degraw’s “I Don’t Want to Be,” losing to Latin artist Cathia. Cathia surprised the coaches with her performance of Kelly Clarkson’s “Mr. Know It All.” At the end of the season, though, another contestant, Danielle Bradbery, became the Season 4 champion.

Of Bradbery’s win, Innes said, “I thought she totally deserved it. She has a fantastic voice, she’s adorable and people want to vote for something like that.”

But at Heritage Days, Innes seemed

This year’s events included a sidewalk art contest, children’s bike parade, fun run, a hot dogeating contest and the inaugural Heritage Man competition.

“It’s a way to renew old friendships and create new ones,” Mayor Gerald K. Knight said.

Innes said he takes his musical influences from artists past and present, from Ray Charles to John Mayer.

“I like to talk about emotions.

One of the songs is about ... how everyone has something they’re meant to do,” he explained. “I think I’m a pretty passionate, intense guy and music allows me to get some of that out.

Music has a way of connecting hearts and minds, and I enjoy being in the thick of that. It just feels good.”

When speaking about his experience on the hit reality TV show, Innes said he doesn’t regret it, but he definitely learned about how show business works.

“The main goal of the TV show is ratings,” he said. “There will be things that they do in order to make sure the show gets ratings.

You can become sacrifice to the team of producers who need to show it going in a certain direction. Just be aware of the reality of reality shows.

He continued, “They chose to focus on the fact that I was almost engaged and broke it off, so they like to use the sad story as a way to get people to relate to me and support me. If I had gotten on to more shows, I would have liked for them to focus on what was happening currently rather than look at the past.”

Innes offered a bit of advice for Cache Valley residents and others that may try out for the show in the future.

“You have to forget about (ratings); be authentic and just show up and do the best that you can, without thinking about all of the loopholes and ties.”

“Don’t worry about getting caught up in it,” he added.

We know what you think you’re thinking Slightly Off Center DENNIS HINKAMP

I grew up believing in a god who knew my every thought and a nonsectarian Santa Clause who knew whether I was naughty or nice, so why should I care about the NSA, CIA, FBI or FISA? They are mere androgynous acronyms to me. Omniscience seems omnipresent and overrated. It’s an awkward use of assonance, but you know what I mean.

That’s exactly the point; you know what I mean and I know what you are thinking. We have always spied on each other and always will. This is why I’m really not getting this

fake moral outrage from every country the president visits or that this Snowden guy has revealed the world’s worst-kept secret since the ending of “Planet of the Apes.” We have been

spying on each other ever since there were more than two people on earth. Espionage is second only to sex as inspiration for literature and movies.

Nerdy, non-government spook consortiums such as Wikileaks and Anonymous can seemingly uncover anything on anybody at any time and they don’t have the gazillion-dollar backing of our tax dollars.

The U.S. has an organization that employs thousands of people all over the world and is not required to disclose its budget. What did we think they were doing?

Playing with their

decoder rings? Seriously, we have terroristkilling drones; we overthrow (nation-build) governments; and we try to assassinate dictators and have the largest stockpile of nukes in the world, so email and cell phone information seems compassionate in comparison. I would not be surprised if they subpoenaed the transcripts of all the memories contained in Memory Foam.

We cheered spying and surveillance when it helped catch the Boston Marathon bombers, but somehow think this isn’t going on all the time? The good guys

are always trying to outsmart the bad guys. The only difference now is that we are not sure who the good guys and the bad guys are, so we just spy on everybody. Of course, there is always the danger that this information gets into the wrong hands except these hands change with the seasons. It is sort of like when we gave the Afghans weapons to fight the Russians, but when the Russians left, they used our weapons to fight us.

It is not as if we are going to stop spying on each other; we just need to adjust our resolve for the cyber age. We had

Headed to Broadway?

Annual UFOMT program set for August Registration is now open for Broadway Bound, an intensive musical theater training experience with workshops taught by professional performers in residence at Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre. The week-long event will be held Aug. 5-10.

Youth ages 8 to 18 will take a variety of lively classes including stage combat, dance and choreography, voice and diction, dance, audition techniques, acting, the history of American musical theater and more. Students will work one-on-one with professionals who work at the Metropolitan Opera, on Broadway, for Disney and other prestigious companies.

“The biggest asset is every single class is taught by a professional performer,” says Vanessa Ballam, UFOMT’s education director and founder of Broadway Bound. “They work all over the world and they’re going to share their wealth of knowledge with our students.”

Tuition also includes daily lunches, a backstage tour of the Ellen Eccles Theatre and admission to all four Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre mainstage productions: “Fiddler on

the Roof,” “Otello,” “The Flying Dutchman” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

“Students are able to watch their instructors demonstrate the very skills they teach,” says program director Stefan Espinosa. “The youth will participate in talkbacks after each production where they will meet the artists and ask questions.”

The week culminates in a performance of musical theater duets and scenes students will prepare during the week with assistance from Utah Festival music staff, artists and choreographers.

The third annual Broadway Bound is a program of the Utah Conservatory of the Performing Arts, which is part of the education wing of Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre.

Class space is limited and advance registration is required. Tuition is $260 per student and includes tickets to all four Utah Festival mainstage productions. Contact Espinosa at 750-0300 ext. 126 for more information, or click on the education tab at www.utahfestival.org for details and a downloadable registration form.

Books Catch a Civil War escape saga

By Christopher Sullivan Associated Press

Among the tens of thousands of books written about the American Civil War, there are dense histories of campaigns, profiles of leaders, compilations of battlefield photos or soldiers’ letters home.

Then, once in a while, you run across just a really good yarn.

That’s what Peter of two New York TriCarlson has written in bune reporters’ unique his nonfiction account experience of the war.

Heat Continued from Page 6 shaming back at the precinct, she’s off and running.

The two women are trying to take down a vicious drug lord in Boston, and that’s all you need to know about the generic plot. The supporting cast is good but kept far from the spotlight. It would have been nice to see more of Jane Curtin, especially; the mere thought of her playing a foul-mouthed mother to McCarthy is enough to make you laugh.

And laugh you will, even if you’re surprised at yourself sometimes.

The funniest moments are when McCarthy’s Mullins assesses her uptight partner as if she were some strange and rare animal she encountered at the zoo. Watch her react to the incomprehensible sight of Ashburn in Spanx, some-

thing she’s never seen.

(Does Bullock really need Spanx, though? We digress.)

At another point, Mullins visits Ashburn at home, where the FBI agent is dressed in perfectly pressed pajamas. Mullins thinks she’s wearing a tux.

Alas, we can’t quote this or really any dialogue by screenwriter Katie Dippold — the expletives flow fast and furiously.

Then there’s the dive-bar scene, where the women bond over drinking and yes, dancing. As throughout the film, both actresses are uninhibited physical comediennes here.

And they do seem to be improvising much of the time.

Some moments go too far and last too long. A diner scene where Ashburn tries to save a choking patron is agonizing, but even with mouth agape, you’ll probably still laugh, and kudos to the actor playing the

They witnessed fighting or its aftermath at Shiloh, Antietam and other slaughters. They met Abraham Lincoln more than once. But mostly this is a story about their capture and 19-month imprisonment by Confederates, how they survived and, amazingly, how they plugged into a complex network that risked all to help prisoners escape to seemingly unreachable Union lines.

At the heart of this buddy story are two dis-

tinctive characters, close friends who sometimes infuriate and often help each other — even nursing each other through life-threatening illness — while seeking out news by very different methods and writing it in sharply contrasting styles.

Carlson’s story portrays their relationship and the wild ride of their wartime experience with emotional depth and often with humor.

paramedic: Talk about making the most of a few lines.

Many buddy cop films are corny by the end. There are syrupy scenes here too, but as elsewhere in this uneven movie, the actresses are

committed enough to make it work.

And Jerry Lewis, are you listening? Despite what you say, female comedy is funny. Especially with McCarthy on the screen.

“This band is actually a product of me using my time very, very wisely,” declares Parks, who says he doesn’t have a television because watching a TV show is time he could use to write a new song.

“I figure that we’re on this planet for an unknown amount of time, but even at the very most its not very much time in the big picture,” he adds, “so I want to make the most of my time. I need to be around efficient people all the time, that’s very important to me.”

When asked how he would describe the swamp blues to someone who had never heard them before, Parks says he wishes everyone could first pay a visit to the swamps of northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia.

“I like to think that

Saga Continued from Page 12 Describing the “self-conscious romantic” Junius Browne’s fateful decision to change careers from banking, Carlson writes that he chose “a trade that has traditionally served as a refuge for the skeptical, the curious, the opinionated, the semi-adventurous, the quasi-literary and the vaguely talented — journalism.”

Browne comes off as a bit of a dilettante, classically educated and always ready with a bon mot but not necessarily ready to meet deadlines. Although he produces some dispatches that

Each summer the band performs five concerts, rehearsing for only a few hours before performing. Alumni regularly travel from Idaho, Wyoming and southern Utah to perform in at least one concert, with others traveling greater distances.

Each concert features a theme, ranging from patriotic music to popular culture. This year’s concert dates are: June 30 (patriotic concert), July 14 (Bastille Day), July 21 (“Our Western Heritage”), July 28 (movies and jazz), and Aug. 4 (50th anniversary celebration with special guest Arnald Gabriel).

rightly make his reputation in New York, we also see him missing one major battle altogether and concocting a detailed but largely fictional account.

As a journalist, Albert Richardson is Browne’s opposite: tireless in his reporting, gifted and comfortable as an interviewer, and elegantly spare in his writing.

In the end, each produces a bestselling book about their shared ordeal, and Carlson mines these rich veins and many others (his source notes run a dozen pages, though this is not an academic history) to chronicle the two men’s lives and the trials they get through.

For a time, they make the best of their prison experience, bribing guards

for privileges and food, but as the war grinds the Confederacy down, conditions worsen drastically and they volunteer to help the exhausted prison medical staff keep sick, starving prisoners alive.

Richardson indelibly describes the daily removal of corpses for burial: “The last scene of all was the dead cart with its rigid forms piled upon each other like logs ...”

All the while, the reporters plot escape.

“Tunnels were my thought by day and my dream by night,” Browne writes.

As they prepare an escape plan that will finally succeed, Richardson uses free moments during work in the hospital to copy names of prisoners who

died there, compiling a list of 1,200 names that he will smuggle out, publish and eventually share in personal correspondence with their families.

Carlson’s story drags in a few places where the day-to-day recitation of the heroes’ progress should have been pruned a bit by an editor. Another editing quibble: the title. “Adventures” suggests a frivolousness that does not fit this book.

Otherwise, the author, a former Washington Post reporter and columnist, has produced a work that entertains as well as educates — for example, about the activities of Southern pro-Union sympathizers — and lets readers see the endlessly chronicled Civil War through a truly fresh lens.

our music is kind of soundtrack to that region,” Parks says.

“There are marshes, salt water, brackish water. I think it’s the most beautiful part of the country, and I say that with the utmost respect to Utah because I love Utah. I love coming out here.”

Parks says Swamp Cabbage music is “edgy and has a lot of pep and a lot of groove.”

“It’s very active,” he adds. “Whenever I write a song, I write it with the intention that someone who hears it for the very first time would tap their foot to it.”

That certainly was the case Wednesday night as Swamp Cabbage opened its set at Why Sound with the ultra infectious “Jesus Tone,” the band’s most recognized song. The trio also played fan favorite “Tallahassee” and other songs from their first two albums, “Squeal” and “Honk,” as well as covers from its latest offering, “Drum Roll Please.”

New material from “Jive,” set to be released this fall, also got the crowd rolling, clearly enjoying the musicianship of the band as well as the presence of Parks. The frontman barely had room on the small Why Sound
