FROM THE EDITOR Since I grew up just a couple of hours away from Yellowstone, my family and I were frequent visitors to the country’s first national park. And part of the fun while driving ever so slowly between sites was seeing how many different license plates we could see along the way. While I can say there were a couple of times when we actually saw plates from all 50 states, the trip when I came up one state short (apparently they don’t have a lot of vehicles in West Virginia) still haunts me to this day.
For years, I’ve unofficially played the license-plate game here in Cache Valley, as well. But this summer, I decided to get serious and see how many plates I can rack up before Labor Day. So, a full week into the experiment, I’ve managed to see plates from 26 different states, including 11 on the first day. Strangely enough, in the span of one trip from the south end of Main Street to 400 North, I spotted five different vehicles from Texas and only one from Idaho and one from Wyoming. And two days later, I saw New York, New Jersey and New Mexico in just five minutes (I apparently was looking the wrong way when New Hampshire drove by). I don’t have a lot of hope that I’ll see
all 50 states. I mean, even if someone from Rhode Island happens to be driving through town on July 25, what are the chances that I’ll be doing the same thing at the same time? But, with Fourth of July events, the Cruise-In and the start of the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre coming up over the next week or so, now is definitely the time to keep my eyes open — and maybe drive through a few hotel parking lots that aren’t necessarily on my way home. I’ll let you know how things turn out in a couple of months. In the meantime, be sure to give me a call (and a location) if you see a car from Hawaii.

‘Lone Ranger’ gets away Depp not enough to save new remake

PET OF THE WEEK
By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
Ah, summer. The time where movie season succumbs to churning out as many sequels, prequels and remakes as possible. It’s the time to bring out the top-grossing franchises and hope they score big again. Amongst the sequel frenzy we usually see one or two big-budget remakes of somewhat obscure movies or television shows from the past. This summer we get Disney’s $200 million version of “The Lone Ranger.” There’s a long history of storytelling as far as the Lone Ranger is concerned, but most people probably remember the character from the TV series that aired for eight seasons from 1949 to ’57. So like other cinematic revivals of old TV shows – “21 Jump Street” and “The A-Team” to name a couple – “The Lone Ranger” is obsessed with making everything bigger, shinier and explodier (a seasonal word which aptly describes most big summer blockbusters). The movie begins as a withered Tonto (played by Johnny Depp, who is always at the top of the casting list as long as

the part calls for peculiar eccentricities) recounts his time with the Lone Ranger to a small boy. John Reid (Armie Hammer) will become the Lone Ranger, but before he does, he’s a timid lawyer who believes in the court system and abhors the Wild West justice meted out by scoundrels and ruffian lawmen. His brother Dan (James Badge Dale) is the complete
opposite. He’s the kind of Texas Ranger who shoots first and asks questions never. He thinks his brother’s justice crusade is silly, and that all disputes with the law are better handled with a few bullets. After an ambush set up by the dastardly Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner), a group of Texas Rangers is left for dead. Like the old story goes, Tonto
rescues John. Whether he brings John back to life is not entirely certain, but he does refer to John as a “spirit walker” the rest of the movie — a person that cannot be killed in battle. The first hour or so of “The Lone Ranger” feels like you’re watching “Pirates of the Caribbean” only with less water and more horses. Depp has mastered those deadpan eyes which convey most of the movie’s intentional humor. There’s an entire story about dishonorable railroad tycoons, mean outlaws and prostitutes with hearts of gold, but “The Lone Ranger” really wants to be a comedic action movie.

all mixed up Festival Opera ready to get underway ‘Dutchman’ opens 21st season on Wednesday More than 250 musicians, performers and crew members from renowned stages across the nation have been working for months to perfect their performances for Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre’s 21st season. The culmination of their efforts begins at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, with the premiere of Richard Wagner’s “The Flying Dutchman,” the Nordic tale of a ghostly pirate ship, curses and treasure. The long-awaited “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” by legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber opens July 11; Verdi’s “Otello,” the composer’s operatic interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic play “Othello,” begins July 12; and the Broadway classic “Fiddler on the Roof,” starring founding director Michael Ballam as Tevye, opens July 13. Those four mainstage productions continue in repertory along with 28 accompanying interactive Academy classes taught by industry experts, backstage tours, breakfasts with the stars, literary seminars and seven special concerts. In all, 129 events comprise the

with ID. “The Flying Dutchman” Utah Festival celebrates the 200th birthday of two musical titans this year. First up is Richard Wagner, whose tale of a ghost ship, curses and treasure has wowed audiences for 150 years. If the plot seems familiar, it might because the second and third installments of the popular “Pirates of Caribbean” Disney movies borrowed themes and even the name of the ghostly pirate ship from Wagner’s work. Johnny Depp won’t be on stage in Logan, but Utah Festival’s leading men (including Grammy-nominated Kristopher Irmiter) sing a lot better. The performance is sung in German with projected English supertitles. “The Flying Dutchman” opens at 7:30 p.m. July 10. Additional evening performances are July 19 and 25. Matinees are at 1 p.m. Aug. 3 and 9. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” This Utah Festival production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit brings the Genesis account of Joseph of Egypt to life like you’ve never seen it before. Follow Joseph as he is sold into Egypt by his plotting brothers and later reconciles with his family as a famine plagues the land. More people would probably read the bible if it were set to a soundtrack like this. Webber (who also wrote “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Phantom See OPERA on Page 10

Friday, July 5 Lorisa Pulotu: Pulotu began piano lessons at 10 and joined the school elementary choir, but it would still be several decades before she would realize her musical abilities. When her daughter, Elora,
was seven, she taught her to play piano and soon learned that her daughter was a gifted musician. Polutu’s daughter and other mentors inspired her to study the art of music, singing and performing. Over a period of five years she began to train her voice on a daily basis, and by the age of 35, Polutu and her daughter were writing and performing music together. Over the years she and her daughter have performed in dozens of different settings. Her “Crimson Sky” album includes songs with a contemporary beat, reflecting her love for life, and slower
songs that imbue deep ethereal messages. Polutu also plans to perform songs from her forthcoming country album. Monday, July 8 Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre: Singers and instrumentalists will perform their favorite music in addition to previewing the upcoming UFOMT season.

Still playing What’s amazing about the comedic force that is Melissa McCarthy is how she sounds like she’s truly improvising most of the time. And so the best parts of “The Heat,” a riotous though uneven buddy cop movie directed by Paul Feig of “Bridesmaids” fame, is the repartee between McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. But first, let’s note the pop culture glass ceiling that’s happily breaking here — BOTH cops in a buddy cop flick are women! Feig and screenwriter Katie Dippold rely a bit too much on formula, the pacing is uneven, a few scenes overthe-top (and one very yucky). But put dialogue in the hands of Bullock and McCarthy, add in their obvious chemistry, and nothing can go too far wrong. And at times, you’ll be in utter hysterics. Bullock is the straight-laced, inhibited but fiercely ambitious FBI agent; McCarthy is the free-wheeling, profane, messy Boston detective with a heart in just the right place, if you can find

Staggeringly implausible, cartoonishly comical, Roland Emmerich’s latest summer spectacle is refreshingly dumb. Refreshing because carefree action absurdity, once the province of the summer cinema, is on the outs. Solemnity — even for caped, flying men in tight-fitting trousers — is in. Emmerich’s film follows Antoine Fuqua’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” released in March, as the second movie this year to imagine an assault on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The two films are very similarly plotted, but this, with Jamie Foxx as president, is notably less serious. It’s most entertaining as a simple, ludicrous buddy movie with Foxx and his rescuer, Channing Tatum’s wannabe Secret Service agent. They flee across the White House grounds, “Die Hard”style, eluding a gang of assailants led by a bitter turncoat (James Woods). Tatum has reached the level of movie stardom that he can breeze through such a blatantly silly film. Toned and goofy, his charm carries the movie. If
‘The Heat’ runs hot at box office but ‘Monsters’ rule LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy brought “The Heat” against Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx at the box office. The Fox action-comedy starring the funny ladies as mismatched detectives earned $40 million in second place in its opening weekend, topping the $25.7 million debut haul of Sony’s “White House Down,” according to studio estimates Sunday. The Disney-Pixar animated prequel “Monsters University” remained box-office valedictorian in its second weekend, earning $46.1 million in first place. As for “The Heat,” employing two female leads to buck the maledominated buddy-cop formula paid off in

The Reel Place Aaron Peck
After making a boatload of cash on the first film that would make any world-class villain drool, Universal set up plans to crank out a “Despicable Me” sequel because it made great business sense. As a fan of the first movie and its premise about a tenderhearted villain named Gru (voiced by Steve Carrell), I was mildly excited at the notion of joining him and his Cheeto-shaped minions for another go around. As is par for the course where kid-centric CGI cartoons are concerned, the sequel tends to focus much more on the ancillary characters that people found delightful during the first film. For example, “Cars 2” based an entire movie around Mater, with disastrous results. So, it’s really no surprise when you find out that “Despicable Me 2” is extremely heavy on minion humor. You know, the little yellow guys that follow Gru’s every command, speak gibberish and on the whole are just about the cutest little animated cheese puffs ever. Yeah, those guys. I was prepared to give myself up to a movie that relegated Gru to the background while trying to highlight as much minion frivolity as can possibly be contained in 90 minutes. So it was a welcome sight when the movie started and Gru’s character development took center stage alongside all the added minion-themed humor. Gru’s daughters, however, are left somewhat on the backburner. Because of the girls’ influence, Gru has given up his life of villainous crime and has turned over

he atmosphere during the sneak peek of Art on the Lawn felt more like a neighborhood barbecue rather than a showcase of local artists. Held on Friday, June 28 — the evening before the big event on Saturday — people mingled together outside the homestead house in North Logan, eating off of styrofoam plates and drinking beer out of bottles. Dogs scampered together and children ran in between the legs of adults. People walked into the old Crookston home to examine the works of art that were for sale through a silent auction. The mood was casual and fun — a good way to kick off the ninth annual Art of the Lawn. The event is a celebration artists and of art itself. Local artists come and not only sell their art but work on art in front of an audience. “We’ll have plein air. Plein air means painting in the air. It’s French. We’ll have six or seven paintings under the trees,” said Lucy Peterson Wakins, the coordinator for Art on the Lawn. “We also invite the public, if they’re artists, to bring their sketchbook and paint.” During the sneak-peek event, a silent Every year, a community mural is paintauction took place inside the homestead. ed.

Really promising art student and, to make the story short, he went off to art school in San Francisco and tragically was killed,” Bingham said. “His parents, as a way to honor him and to help keep his memory alive, they created this scholarship fund.” All throughout the evening, people picked up sets of mystery art and bid on pieces in the auction. Food was served and a band quietly played in the background.

Sometimes I’m a latenight snacker, I confess it. My wee-hour foods of choice, I’m not proud to say, aren’t gourmet: mini chocolate chips purloined from the baking cabinet, handfuls of dry breakfast cereal and little scoops of storebought vanilla frosting. Everyone needs a vice. Night for me is 9:30 p.m., which I know is hardly past dusk at this time of year. (Give me a break, I wake up early and I am old.) But I do get a solid eight hours most nights. This is good news because getting enough sleep may be saving me from consuming more than 500 calories a day. People who sleep less eat more, according to a study in the journal “Sleep.” People who
On nights when the researchers made people stay up late, they ate more — around 553 extra calories consumed between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. for the sleep-deprived individuals.

Utah Festival is a family affair with Michael Ballam starring as Tevye alongside his two real-life daughters Vanessa and Olivia, who take the roles of Tevye’s daughters Tzeitel and Hodel. Vanessa’s husband, Stefan Espinosa, plays her onstage lover, Motel. Michael has also forged a close friendship with the show’s lyricist, Sheldon Harnick, a three-time Tony Award winner and Pulitzer Prize winner. Harnick has been mentoring Ballam in his role and will be in Logan to view performances, present a lecture on July 30 and stage a reading of his work “Rex,” which is poised for a revival on Broadway. In the show, Tevye lives at a crossroads where his family traditions are being challenged by his strong-willed daughters and the Tsar of Russia has issued an edict to evict Jews from their villages. “Fiddler” is one of the longest running shows on Broadway and winner of nine Tony Awards
their weight in check, researchers theorize. But there is more. Through the miracle of newsprint, let’s back up our day 18 hours. Zzzzip. Here we are at breakfast. I’m a good food chooser at breakfast. In fact, we as a nation do pretty well in the morning: whole grain toast, low-fat milk, oranges slices and blueberries. Healthy foods are easy to choose as the sun is rising. As the day proceeds, however, good food choices are harder to make. Lunch is coleslaw and salt-laden deli meat on white bread with a side of chips. Dinner is an all out carousal of melted cheese, fried dough and barbecue sauce. You can see a fascinating infographic on how our food choices decline as the day progresses on
massivehealth.com. The healthiness of the food we eat decreases for every hour of daylight, and dinner is the least healthy meal of the day. But wait, there is still more. Today is Friday. That means that you will eat less healthy today than you did on any other weekday. Compared to other weekdays, people tend to eat the least healthiest lunch on Fridays. Friday dinner tends to be unhealthy, too, as people like to unwind after a hard week at work. But the worst dinners are on Saturday, and the least healthy day overall is Sunday. On Sunday people tend to eat later in the day and make less healthy choices all day long. On Sunday my family goes to Grandma Gilbert’s house for dinner. She

I don’t make very good food choices at Grandma Gilbert’s house, but she can’t be responsible for the rest of the nation, can she? I’m not sure that really is a lot of butter.

at Carnegie Hall. They’ll all be singing under one roof to commemorate the 200th birthday of musical titan number 2: Giuseppe Verdi. In true opera fashion, this tale is packed with deceit, conspiracy, a love triangle and ultimately tragedy. Otello, a Venetian general, returns home from a successful military campaign to assume his governorship of Cyprus. His success abroad is quickly eclipsed by conspiracy and treachery at home. Otello finds deceit at every turn. This Verdi classic is based on the Shakespeare play “Othello” and will be sung in Italian with projected English supertitles. “Verdi’s ‘Otello’ is a masterpiece of theater and musical fusion, achieving the rarely met goal of making a great story even better through an operatic lens,” Turner said. “Otello” opens at 7:30 p.m. July 12. Additional evening performances are July 12 and 20, and Aug. 2. Matinees are at 1 p.m. July 26 and Aug. 10.

The triumphant premiere of the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” on Thursday, June 27, earned a standing ovation from a near-capacity crowd that had roared its approval of the show all night long. The “Drowsy Chaperone” is another example of inspired direction by Jim Christian, whose OLRC productions have captivated local audiences in recent years. This brilliantly executed show had all of Christian’s trademarks: skillful tap and soft shoe dancing, imaginative staging, vivid characterizations, hilarious comedy and tremendous vocal performances. The heart and soul of this production is Lee Daily, in the mostly nonsinging role of the Man in the Chair. His wry comments make “The Drowsy Chaperone” more than just a spoof of 1920s musicals by lampooning the many foibles
of local musicians who perform easy-listening, acoustic oldies. These veteran musicians are Irv Nelson, Scott Olsen and Steve Roberts. They have more than 100 years of performing experience between them. Relic is an appropriate name for the group, but don’t let that scare you. Their sound is fresh and their performance is entertaining. With three guitars and three voices, they paint a musical landscape with their intricate harmonies. Their song list includes arrangements of favorites from the great artists of the 1960s and ’70s, such as The Beatles, The Eagles, James Taylor, Bread, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and Kansas — songs that everyone remembers and loves from the “golden era” of popular

Dahl’s ‘Peach’ begins July 10
Utah State University’s Old Lyric Repertory Company presents “James and the Giant Peach” as part of the 2013 summer season, opening Wednesday, July 10, at the Caine Lyric Theatre. “This show is part of the Lyric season because it’s one that everybody can relate to,” said Dennis Hassan, artistic director of the OLRC and professor in the Caine College of the Arts. “Audience members will cheer James, the underdog, on as he overcomes his situation through magic, teamwork and imagination.” Whizzpopping wonder and fruit-filled fun abound in the stage adaption of Roald Dahl’s greatest adventure. Meet James, a lonely young boy who is forced to work like a slave for the most revolting aunts in England. One day a mys-
tical old man gives him a bag of magic, and when he accidentally spills it near the old peach tree, the most incredible things happen. “‘James and the Giant Peach’ is a wonderful opportunity for families to spend time together and share a great experience,” said Hassan. For more information and tickets, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 7978022 or visit arts.usu.edu. For “James and the Giant Peach,” a family ticket special is available: with the purchase of one adult ticket to the show, kids get in for 50 percent off. Tickets may also be purchased at the Caine Lyric Theatre at 28. W. Center St., from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain on show nights.

Books Ava Gardner’s bawdy banter powers new book By Douglass K. Daniel Associated Press
“I’m tired of remembering,” actress Ava Gardner laments during one of many sessions with the ghostwriter working on her memoir. “I’m sick of trying to explain myself all the time.” Her spirit may have been unwilling, but Gardner’s motivation was powerful: She needed the money. At 66, with her acting career over and her body suffering from the effects of a debilitating stroke, one of film’s most beautiful women was nearly broke. The star of “The Barefoot Contessa” (1954) and dozens of other movies (she was nominated for an Oscar for 1953’s “Mogambo”) hoped that a tell-all book would bring her hundreds of thousands of dollars — or at least enough cash
not the book that either Evans or Gardner had envisioned when they met at her apartment or when she called him at all hours of the night, sleepless and mournful. It’s less the story of Gardner’s life than a memoir by Evans, who uses his decades-old tapes and notes to recount their short-lived partnership. Echoes of the movie “Sunset Boulevard,” with its aging and pathetic star, are hard to ignore, except Gardner isn’t delusional or to allow her to remain in trying to seduce her writer. her London flat. She knew all too well how The project that began she got where she was. in 1988 fell apart after Fans of Hollywood in Gardner discovered that the 1940s and ‘50s will her chosen writer, Peter enjoy the randy banter Evans, had once angered about the men Gardner Frank Sinatra.

was less enchanted with Sinatra’s pal Humphrey Bogart, her “Barefoot Contessa” co-star, whom she remembered as envious of her star status in their film. Two other lovers loomed large in her past. Wealthy recluse Howard Hughes wanted to marry her, even though she bat-
tered him with an ashtray during one fight, and he dislocated her jaw during another. Actor George C. Scott, her co-star in, of all things, 1966’s “The Bible,” would awaken in their bed after drunken rages unaware that he had left Gardner bloody and bruised. No wonder she kept a drink at the ready while mining her memories. “The Secret Conversations” doesn’t reveal much new about Gardner’s life — she did turn out a memoir before she died in 1990 — and next to nothing about the movies she made, even popular films like “On the Beach” (1959) and “The Night of the Iguana” (1964). Caught on tape being herself, Gardner comes off as she had feared — vulgar, cynical and trampy. Her words also carry the tones Evans had hoped for — funny, perceptive and genuine.
Benatar hits the stage tonight Concerts at the annual Cache Valley Cruise-In will return tonight 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 four-time 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.” The Cache Valley Cruising Association first hosted a concert in 2007 when Southern rockers .38 Special played at the fairgrounds. Visits by Styx, American, Three Dog Night and the Beach Boys followed before the Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo will perform tonight at the annual show was suspended in Cache Fairgrounds. 2012.
Heat Continued from Page 6 expectations in fourth place. The film’s White House takeover plot is strikingly similar to FilmDistrict’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” which opened in March and starred Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart. “It turned out to be a very competitive weekend,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution. “We had hoped ‘White House Down’ did better, just from the standpoint that we love this film, but I feel very hopeful that with the July 4th holiday coming up, it will be the perfect film for audiences, and it’ll really add up for us.” Meanwhile, Paramount’s “World War Z” took another bite out of the box office in its second weekend domestically with $29.8 million. Overseas, the globe-trotting zombie thriller starring Brad Pitt cleared $70.1 million in 51 territories. “I think the variety of films is what brought
people out to the movie theaters,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “There’s a G-rated movie at the top of the chart and an R-rated movie in second place. That says a lot about the summer marketplace and how a unique slate of films can propel the box office.” “Man of Steel” is still flying high in its third week, coming in fifth place with $20.8 million in North America and $52.2 million in such international markets as Australia, Sweden and China. The Warner Bros. retelling of Superman’s origin passed the $500 million mark on Saturday. Overall, Dergarabedian said revenue and attendance are now both down just 2 percent over last year, and this weekend’s films grossed 8.5 percent less than last year when Universal’s “Ted” opened with $54.4 million at the box office. He said those numbers could shift further next week when Disney’s “The Lone Ranger” and Universal’s “Despicable Me 2” debut.
Your Stuff “A Prayer for America” By Jason Brady We are America ... the heart of a world seeking freedom and peace. We are the east and the west, the north and the south — one people embracing many. We are a legacy of courage with a destiny for greatness. We are history and prophecy, liberty and home, refuge and vision. So we lift up our light as a beacon of hope, with this prayer to our God and Creator: Make us a people who care and who comfort. Let us reach out a welcoming hand to the homeless, the helpless, the hurting, the hungry. Let us fulfill God’s great plan for our land. Let our life to the nations and each other be love.

He lived on the street, The best, he was able. There was no place to bathe, And no place to shave. It was hard to look good, He had to be brave.
Flowers Weeds ... It’s all the same Any kind Any name
He was only a tramp, Without any money. Life wasn’t easy, And seldom was funny.
I can’t remember all the names That’s Mother Nature’s favorite game
Alone in the world, Going nowhere. And no one to help, And no one to care.
