FROM THE EDITOR

ven though I got completely sunburned at Bear Lake on Sunday, I’m really enjoying this weather. I know some readers will think I’m crazy, but I hate winter so much that I’ll take high 90-degree days with a smile. I really try not to complain about sunny days because we all know they’re hard to come by once the cold, inversion-filled moths roll around near the end of the year. If I’m going to complain during the winter, I better not grieve during the

summer. Who wants to be unhappy all year long? I hope all of you are having an enjoyable summer and that you’re able to get outside often. I know some of you are, because lovely photos of the canyons, sunsets and insects keep coming to my inbox. Keep sending them — I enjoy seeing the way you capture local people, places and things. We are truly surrounded by some wonderful scenery in the valley. I also hope you’re soaking up the Utah Festival Opera and Old Lyric Repertory Company productions. There is something going on play- and musical-wise about every night of the week now.

The summer blockbuster films have steadily been released every couple of weeks and there are more to come. Who wants to see “The Dark Knight Rises” with me? If you get the chance, I hope you’re able to travel as well. That is one of my favorite aspects of summer. I know there are a bunch of summer citizens who made their way to Cache Valley this year. Getting away from home for a while is always nice, and I think the summer citizens have vacationing down perfectly. This next week in Cache Valley offers more and more options of things to do. I hope you have sunny, happy fun. — Manette Newbold

Utah Shakespeare Festival in full swing Long-time coveted musical ‘Les Mis’ is part of the mix

By Barbara Stinson Lee correspondent

Neither Scout nor Dill are much frightened by Radley, and Radley begins leaving the children cookies and other gifts. The children carry the play, as they face the issues, and Radley rescues Jem from a most difficult situation. At the base is the arrest of Tom Robinson (Colby Lewis) for an attack on a white girl and Atticus takes his case. A strong adult in “To Kill A Mockingbird” is Calpurnia (Nakeisha Daniel), the Finch’s black housekeeper and cook. It is Scout and Dill who bring to Atticus’ attention that having Calpurnia as a servant is wrong, but Calpurnia tells them she has no place else to go. The play shows how, with richness, children can teach wisdom.

E DAR CITY — William Shakespeare would have loved this season’s Utah Shakespeare Festival. There’s the mystery and drama of “Mary Stuart” by Friedrich Schiller, the bloody “Titus Andronicus” by Shakespeare, Victor Hugo’s exciting story of the French revolution in ‘’Les Miserables,” which took the festival some 13 years to obtain, Christopher Sergels’ “To Kill A Mockingbird” based on the book by Harper Lee, the hilarious “Scapin” by Moliére and Shakespeare’s own “Merry Wives of Windsor.”

‘Scapin’

‘Merry Wives of Windsor’ Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” finds Sir John Falstaff (Roderick Peeples) up to his old tricks, wanting all the women for himself. He winds up being stuffed in a basket of dirty clothes and thrown into the Thames. He is accused of swindling by nearly everyone, and comes to his own measure of merriment. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, and is seen everywhere from elementary schools to festivals like the Utah Shakespeare. Convinced that two women, Mistress Alice Ford (Jacqueline Antaramian), and Mistress Anne Page (Melinda Fpundstein) both love him, Falstaff is not really this play’s main character. The women are the stars. Falstaff ends up wearing a pair of horns (gifts from the women). In the meantime, there are dis-

guises all around, which add to the confusion. Directed by Peter Amster, “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is a play with laughs coming from confusion and innuendo, disguises and fun.

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ “To Kill a Mockingbird” features Atticus Finch (Martin Kildare) a lawyer and his two children, Jem (Nick P. Denhalter) and Scout (Jinjer Axelson). The older Scout (Monica Bell) serves as a narrator caught up in the social issues of the day — racism, legal wrangling, family relationships, and discrimination in the town of Maycomb, Ala. Also key to the story are Boo Radley (Ryan Imhoff), a

who has come to spend the summer with his aunt, who lives next door to the Finches.

“Scapin,” by Moliere, is almost impossible to review. It’s simply too funny to drop your eyes to take notes. This play and all the actors in it are so filled with slapstick, it isn’t easy to tell who is related to whom. Scapin’s (David Ivers) costumes are radically funny. Several people are being wooed throughout the play, although few by the appropriate characters. Scapin, servant to Leander (Michael Santo), jumps into the story as he promises to help in the affairs of his neighbor’s son and Leander (Michael Santo). Both young men have fallen in love with poor beauties, and need money to solve their problems. Director Kent Thompson has packed this cast with truly funny people, with Ivers as the head clown. His facial expressions are as overwhelming as his costume, which, by the way, doesn’t always remain the same.

‘Les Miserables’ Scott Phillips, festival executive director, told the Herald Journal he has been wanting to include “Les Miserables” to the summer and fall lineups for a long time. “We’ve tried so hard to get (‘Les Mis’) to play both our summer and fall seasons,” he said. Finally, Brian Vaughn (one of the company’s artistic directors) made a couple of phone calls, and we got the play, not just to play the summer season, but the fall season as well. We were delighted.” Set during the French Revolution, “Les Mis” is high drama at its very best. Nineteen years of imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread to stave off the starvation of his sister and her child has left Jean Valjean (J. Michael Bailey) angry. He is forced to carry a yellow card with him at all times branding him an ex-convict. He is also hounded by the hateful inspector Javert (Brian Vaughn), who not only chases Valjean, but is possessed by the man. Javert then comes upon the beautiful Fantine (Melinda Pfundstein). Pfundstein and Vaughn are both vocally impressive, making them two of the strongest actors hitting the stage this season. But Fantine has been abused by others, and by the time Jean Valjean comes upon her, she is working in one of his factories where women abuse women, and her co-workers have taken advantage of her weakness — forcing her to cut off her beautiful hair in order to provide for her daughter, Cosette (Sadi Weir), now in the care of the selfish Thenardier, an innkeeper (Max Robinson), and his wife, Madame Thenardier (Kymberly Mellen). Also in the house is young Eponine, daughter of the Thenardiers, whose character matures as the play and the revolution progress. Jean Valjean moves to Paris after promising the dying Fantine he will forever care for Cosette. Cosette falls in love with Marius (Cody Craven), a student involved in the revolution. Eponine is the first victim of the battle as she tries to carry a love note from Marius to Cosette. As the battle draws to a conclusion, Jean Valjean and Marius are the only survivors, and in a dramatic

In fact, the sniffles and tears of the opening night audience could be heard, along with audience members shuffling in their purses for tissues. For all who love the festival, and theater in general, “Les Mis” is a must-see.

‘Titus Andronicus’ “Titus Andronicus” makes one wonder how Shakespeare could sit down and write “A Midsummer Nights Dream,” then turn a pen to the ever-so-violent “Titus.” Titus Andronicus (Dan Kremer) returns to Rome a general after a 10-year war with the Goths, a particularly brutal and grisly tribe of fighters. As triumphant as he is, Titus finds himself caught in a dispute with his own spoils of war.

Emperor Saturninus (John G. Preston) takes Titus’ daughter Lavinia (Melisa Pereyra) and turns her over to his two sons Demetrius and Chiron, who rape and mutilate her by cutting out her tongue and cutting off her hands. Time after time, it seems, members of Titus’ family lose hands and heads as grief-stricken Tamora takes vengeance on Titus. Lavinia is seen throughout the play as the characters become ever-more-violent and Titus takes his revenge against Tamora. Titus’ vengeance is returned in a vicious cycle of hatred and violence. This play is not for the faint of heart. No effort is made to make the blood in this play appear real. Rather, it is scarlet fabric that symbolically falls from severed limbs. It takes a lot to bring peace to Rome. By then, many of the main characters are killed. It takes a strong mind and heart to hang in with the play and its level of violence, but I rec-

ommend it because it is so well acted and directed. The blood is not real, but the avarice and the bare vengeance is there.

‘Mary Stuart’ “Mary Stuart” delves into the troubling and violent relationship between Mary, (Jacqueline Antaramian) a Catholic prisoner of England who is also queen of Scots, and Queen Elizabeth I (Monica Bell), the woman who rules over Mary and has chosen the Anglican faith of her father, King Henry VIII. Mary knows she faces execution if she doesn’t change her religion and politics. The set, designed by Robert Mark Morgan, reflects both the impending violence and Elizabeth’s power over Mary, whose faith keeps her from falling into the deepest of depressions. Both women are very religious and neither will give in. Antaramian is a strong Mary from start to finish. It’s subtle, but Mary has her tough side when dealing with Elizabeth and

the two communicate almost exclusively by letter. Mary cries out to speak with Elizabeth, but Elizabeth doesn’t answer. Director Kate Buckley, along with playwright Friedrich Schiller, created a play about two strong women. Each has her supporters, but it’s a mystery as to who is stronger, who is right. Is Elizabeth refusing to meet with Mary out of fear? Fear of her strength or fear of her faith? Mary faces her death with ultimate dignity, lastly demanding that her servants be freed and well cared for. One of the strongest scenes is when Mary and Elizabeth finally meet, and Mary’s fate is sealed. I have rarely seen Bell turn in a stronger performance, and she is on stage much longer than her counterpart. She has also not been seen at the festival for more than 20 years. The festival’s 51st season is its strongest yet with six plays opening in three days. Quite a feat! For tickets and more information about the Utah Shakespeare Festival, visit www.bard.org.

movies It’s impossible to avoid the comparisons, so we may as well just get them out of the way early so we can move on. This reboot — Prequel? New chapter? It’s hard to decide what to call it — is pretty much different in every way from the staggeringly successful Marvel Comics-inspired trilogy that preceded it. The basics are the same: A high school kid gets bitten by a scientifically modified spider, discovers he has newfound super powers, decides to use them as a vigilante crime fighter and takes to the streets of New York in an unforgivingly tight red-and-blue suit. But in terms of tone, characters, performances and even visual effects, “The Amazing Spider-Man” feels like its own separate entity. It may not be as transporting an experience as those earlier films, especially the first two, but it finds a distinct voice. Much of that has to do with the central performance from Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. In the hands of Tobey Maguire, who originated the role in “Spider-Man” a decade ago, Peter was nerdy, scrawny, insecure — that’s how his everyman relatability manifested itself. Garfield plays Peter as more of a misunderstood outsider, a rebel with a chip on his shoulder. And that slightly arrogant attitude gives the whole movie a restless, reckless energy and a welcome sense

★★★ ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Director // Marc Webb Starring // Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans Rated // PG-13 for sequences of action and violence of danger. At the helm, Marc Webb is a very different sort of director. He may not have sounded like the most obvious choice for a hugely anticipated blockbuster based on his only previous feature, the romantic comedy charmer “(500) Days of Summer.” His big set pieces may lack some of the imagination that director Sam Raimi brought, but they’ll do.

More importantly, though, he conveys an emotional truth, a pervasive sense of humanity, which may be an even tougher feat in this kind of fantastical scenario. Emma Stone is bright as ever as Peter’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, Sony Pictures with Rhys Ifans nicely In this film image released by Sony Pictures, Andrew Garfield is shown in a scene from underplaying his role as “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Spider-Man’s nemesis. 138 minutes. — Review by The AssoInc. ciated Press

‘Ice Age: Continental Drift’

Aaron Peck

Directors // Steve Martino and Michael Thurmeler Starring // Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo Rated // PG for mild rude humor and action/peril

The “Ice Age” franchise is the definition of hit-or-miss movie making. The first film introduced us to the cast of angularly animated creatures inhabiting the icy wilderness of earth’s past. Manny (voiced by Ray Romano) is a lovable, but stern mammoth. Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo) is a dumb, but sometimes funny sloth who ends up screwing things up most of the time. And then there’s Diego (voiced by Dennis Leary) a snarling saber-toothed tiger who found unlikely friends in a mammoth and sloth. From the first movie this trio has been going on adventure after adven-

They’ve fought off vicious packs of sabertoothed tigers, they’ve dealt with killer fish, they took on dinosaurs in their last outing, and this time around they have to face off with a band of pirates.

It was easy to sympathize with the three main characters in the first movie, but as the franchise has worn on we’ve found ourselves buried beneath a pile of obnoxious possums, a romantic interest for Manny, and to top it off, this iteration of “Ice Age” contains a “Jersey Shore”-esque pack of mammoths who wear out their welcome

‘Ice Age’ may leave you drifting to sleep

COMMUNITY MEMBERS BAND TOGETHER FOR MUSIC, PARADES

JOINING THE

BANDWAGON

or 36 years, the Cache Community Band has provided a place for musicians young and old, seasoned and beginner to play classical band music. Currently, there are about 30 members, ranging in age from 19 to 88, playing nine different instruments. They perform in parades, at the Logan Tabernacle, the American West Heritage Center and other venues. And, they have good time. “It’s a lot of fun, and it’s fun for old people as well as young people, especially for young people,” said 88-year-old John Chidester. The Cache Community Band was organized in 1976. Two original members — Chidester and Marcia Birschbach — still perform with the group. Members have come and gone, but Chidester says he sees continuity in the band’s future. “There’s been times when it’s been tough to keep the band together, but not lately,” he said. Just this week, two new people expressed interest in joining the group, according to Keith Brimhall, director of Cache Community Band. “There’s so many in the community, right in Cache Valley, who could come ... They play well enough to come and play and we would love to have them come and join us,” he said. Ten months ago, Jose Ayala, the youngest of the bunch, starting playing with Cache Community Band. “I wanted to keep playing music after high school,” Ayala said. He plays the trumpet and is glad for the opportunity. Richard Cannon, who plays the clarinet, says it is good to get young people involved in Cache Community Band because it helps familiarize them with the

genre of music the band plays. “It’s a style and a class of music that you don’t run into often ... Concert band music is a useful, artistic endeavor,” he said. Allison Slack, 27, said she likes to collaborate with and learn

people who haven’t touched their instrument in years have joined the group. Eighty-year-old Cannon said that was his situation — he quit playing the clarinet in 1957. Two years ago, he picked it up again.

from fellow band members. “Something I like is to hear some of the more mature musicians play and to kind of catch on to a little of their style,” she said. Brimhall, 70, said they keep about 10 pieces going at a time. The band practices once a week at the Cache County Senior Citizens Center, and anyone is welcome to attend. Brimhall said

“I was married for 56 years; my wife never heard me play,” Cannon said, going on to explain how he started playing again. “I dug out an old clarinet that my kids had played years ago and honked on it for a couple days and I said, ‘I can do that,’ so I bought myself a decent horn.” The band performs at most of the summertime parades in

Cache Valley, Brimhall says. Last week, they played in the Lewiston Fourth of July parade. They ride through towns on the “band wagon,” which made its debut at a Utah State University homecoming parade around 25 years ago, said Chidester, who plays the trombone. “All the musicians wanted to ride on the band wagon. We had 40-some people on that band wagon. There almost wasn’t any room for the horns,” he recalled with a laugh. Brimhall played clarinet in the band for several years before becoming the conductor a few months ago. He said the most memorable experience he’s had with Cache Community Band was in June when they performed at the noon concert series at the Logan Tabernacle. And others agreed. “I think that was as good as the band ever sounded,” Chidester said. The choice of music, which included a brass quintet and trombone trio, added a great variety to their program, Brimhall said. Slack, who plays the trumpet, says there are rewarding moments in practice every week, even if it’s just a great sounding chord. “That’s one of the pleasures of music,” Chidester added, “is when you’re playing alone, I mean, you just hear one note, but when you hear the harmony all fit in together, that’s what makes it worthwhile.”

Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre will celebrate its 20th anniversary with an elegant dinner and entertainment at the annual gala fundraising celebration at 5 p.m. July 20 in the Riverwoods Conference Center. “It will be an unforgettable evening,” said Lila Geddes, development director. “We’ll commemorate 20 years of musical excellence in a walk down memory lane with our most popular operas and musical theater productions.” The entertainment includes several numbers by two principal artists and by Peter Lambert, Best Actor winner of the 2012 Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards. The Alta High School student will also speak about his recent week spent in New York City with Broadway professionals, and competing in the national

Jimmy Awards. Both opportunities came through the statewide competition organized by UFOMT. Dinner guests receive a 15 percent discount on tickets for that evening’s performance of “My Fair Lady” when gala and show tickets are purchased together. Seating is limited. Tickets to the gala dinner are $75 ($45 is tax deductible). Formal or business attire suggested. Utah Festival’s 2012 season runs from July 11 to Aug. 11 and includes repertory performances of “Faust,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “Tosca” and “My Fair Lady,” as well as eight concerts, dozens of Academy classes and other special events and activities.

birthday this year, and Utah Festival will fete the celebrated performer with two productions — the concert version of George and Ira Gershwin’s “Girl Crazy,” and “A Tribute to Judy Garland” in the Ellen Eccles Theatre. “Judy Garland is perhaps the most unique and beloved performer of the 20th century, and she deserves continual celebration,” said Michael Ballam, founding general director. “Our stars are lined up to pay tribute to her remarkable talent. Garland starred along-

Crazy,” a story about a wealthy New York playboy sent west by his father. He takes his gambler, actor and gangster friends with him and they clash with the small-town locals in a big way. The stage production opened in 1930 and made Ethel Merman a star with hits like “Embraceable You” and “I Got Rhythm.” “Girl Crazy” stars Utah Festival veteran Vanessa Schukis and plays July 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 2 at 1 p.m. The show will be performed concert style, so the singers will be in

staging. “A Tribute to Judy Garland” will honor America’s sweetheart through song and film on July 19 at 1 p.m. and July 28 at 7:30 p.m. Garland took America by storm with her appearance as Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz,” and remains a beloved performer through the legacy of her many films and recordings. Tickets to both productions are $11 to $66 and can be purchased at 59 S. 100 West, Logan, by phone at 435-7500300 ext. 106 or at www. utahfestival.org.

The joys of fresh fruit and fermentation nounce, and you have a bucket full of ripe cherries on your kitchen counter, you can’t in good conscience leave them until they moulder and then dump them on the compost pile. But a digestive system can only consume so many fresh cherries and remain standing. What is a person to do? It was for this very reason (guilt) that I started learning about the art and science of food preservation. The premise is fairly simple. Culinary science shows that the absence of microbes helps good food to stay palatable and safe. When you preserve cherries, you seal them in jars and boil the heck out of them. The heat causes most of the little bugs die so when you open the jar seven months later, voilà, cherries for dinner. There is another way to extend the shelf life of fresh food – this time with the cooperation of those same little bugs you were just boiling to death. It is fermentation. In the words of fermentation revivalist Sandor Katz on a recent National Public Radio interview, there is a “flavorful space between fresh and rotten” that is the source of much of our most prized culinary achievements. Fermentation uses microorganisms (certain little bugs and their enzymes) to convert fresh foods into mouthwatering semi-shelfstable foods such as sauerkraut, dry sausages, kimchi, yogurt and a menagerie of pickled

Bread and Butter LAEL GILBERT

I just came indoors from harvesting raspberries in our garden. Picking food from your own backyard is kind of magical. From a spot that a few short months before was just dirt and twigs suddenly bursts forth spindly structures of green and brown that erupt in a fury of fragrant color. The plants get acquainted with the hordes of winged pollinators and in a matter of weeks produce hanging bunches of sweet red fruit just begging to be eaten. It is free of charge, a gift, a prize, a winning lottery ticket. Going out in the backyard to pick produce is like visiting Wonka’s chocolate factory ... except for the thorns, the occasional daddylong-leg climbing up your arm, and the fact that Charlie wasn’t required to weed and water twice a week for the three months preceding the factory tour. This has been a good year for our garden. We’ve gotten four times the usual amount of raspberries, fat, fleshy and sweet. We saw a hefty crop of strawberries and rhubarb, a huge amount of cherries from a neighbor’s tree, and it looks like the grapes, cucumbers and tomatoes are going to do unusually well. It makes global warming kind of hard to hate. In addition to the veritable vegetable paradise, my backyard bumper crop also produces a good crop of guilt. When cherries are $5 a pound at the grocery store and people are starving in a country you can’t pro-

vegetables and fruits. “We reject certain food because it is rotten.” said Katz. “Certain food we can see is fresh. But there is this creative space between fresh food and rotten food where most of human culture’s most prized delicacies and culinary achievements exist.” “It’s not forever (preservation) like canned foods that you can put into a pantry or storm cellar and forget about for 10 years and still eat it,” he says. “These foods are alive, they’re dynamic, but they’re extremely effective strategies for preserving food through a few seasons, which is really the point.” “Around the world you find these iconic foods created by fermentation that create strong, strong flavors that become strong markers of cultural identity and in many cases, people who have not been raised within the culture find these foods very challenging,” he said. We in Cache Valley are up to the challenge. We have our share of iconic fermentation, and we seem to like the

intense focused flavors of these products. The Providence Sauerkraut festival is an all-out microbial gala. Local dairies revel in stinky feta. Local bakeries cultivate strains of local yeast (intentionally or not) to produce signature breads. We prize our microbes. My next few columns will be dedicated to the investigation of fermentation in our location. If you have a great homemade kimchi or know someone who makes aged sausage or kefir, I want to hear about it. If you have a sourdough starter that you inherited from your pioneer

great-grandmother or have achieved excellence in another fermented food product, I’d love to know about you and your efforts. If you’d like to nominate an especially special sauerkraut, let me know. If your recipe is an old family secret,

don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret. I just want a taste. Send me an email and you and your microbes may end up featured here. You can contact me at laelgilbert@hotmail. com. I look forward to getting to know your microorganisms.

Your Stuff “Redemption” By Elise Idso I fell down in the gall of bitterness, I let myself fall too deep. And now I cannot get out unless, I take a soaring leap. A leap to my freedom, A leap from sorrow. A leap for things to come, A leap for tomorrow. But the haunting memory of tears still greet me, Whenever I fall asleep. And if I can be who I want to be, Then I shall not have to weep. People make useless mistakes, To maybe find a useless joy. And if doing that is all it takes, Then that uselessness will come to destroy. My soaring chance will soon be gone, I don’t have the strength to find it. It might be here for one more dawn, But I am too far in the pit. I cannot be saved unless someone saves me. But who will come for a thief? Someone touched my hand. Now I’m free, From all this torture and grief. Who is this savior, this angel in disguise? He gave me one chance more. And now I soar forever in the skies. And I also save people who had their last chance torn.

“True Believers” By William P. Humphrey There are true believers, That can help through the night. If you care to follow them, They can guide you to the light. They are always honest, Faithful and they’re true. They are out in front, Where the work is there to do. The measure of their greatness, Is not in being mean. But in showing kindness, To everyone that’s seen. They don’t seek for praise, Their reward is from above. They help their fathers’ children, Their hearts are full of love. So my friends here on the earth, I hope that you can see. The purpose of our lives so short, Is kindness, yessirie.

AT THE TABERNACLE All performances take place at noon and are free to the public.

Monday, July 16 Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre

Singers and musicians from the UFOCMT perform selections of their own choosing every Monday. The music often previews numbers from the UFOCMT productions but there is always a good mix of popular music, Broadway show tunes and opera. Always well attended, it is best to come a little early to get the best seats.

Tuesday, July 17 Michelle Broadbent

Michelle Broadbent, soprano, earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Utah State University, a Master of Music degree from Brigham Young University, and is currently a member of the voice faculty at BYU-Idaho. During her time at USU and BYU, she received multiple scholarships and awards.

Thursday, July 19 Warren Salinger

Warren Salinger, a summer citizen with a life of travel and a career in international development, will present a personal view of the frozen continent, Antarctica, and South America. Antarctica, the coldest, driest and windiest continent with the highest average elevation has been a source of fascination for centuries. From the Amazon river and deep jungles to the highest waterfall and some of the highest cities in the world, South America is land of intense beauty and contrast. With exquisite slides and informative, humorous narrative, Salinger will show what he considers the highlights from these two continents.

as they float out to sea. One wonders how many icebergs hold valuable cargo, but that’s something we shouldn’t think about really. The point is that this “Ice Age” movie has found its angle and its going to milk it for all its worth. Compared to the first and third movies, the fourth one fails to live up to them. The second movie still remains the most atrocious of the bunch though. “Ice Age: Continental Drift” lazily makes its way through its story. Parents may find themselves dozing

off since there really isn’t much in here to keep them interested in the characters or what’s going on. Kids need not worry though since there are plenty of fart and poop jokes to keep them entertained. I have to say though, I went with my 6-year-old niece to the screening and there were times where even she seemed bored with what was going on. That speaks volumes.

Teenage boy’s dreams control the future in novel By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

In Scott Rigby’s first novel, “Inferno, The Dream Charmer Chronicles,” he shares the story of Caleb Howard, an awkward, bullied teenager whose dreams give him the power to manipulate and control current and future events. Attending a school for troubled children, Caleb simply has a hard time fitting in. However, when he realizes the power of his dreams, he is able to save his crush from a horrific death. Eventually, he learns he’s the target of an evil presence in New York City and must use his dreams to change his fate. He also discovers he’s not alone — that there are others like him, called “dream charmers.” Rigby, 43, said he’s been writing for the last four or five years, and was first inspired by books his children were reading. They would bring home books from the library, their friends’ houses or from the

thethe

store. “I really enjoyed their stories and I thought, ‘I could do that,’” Rigby said. “I love to read and would get hooked on a book and stay up until late in the night.” From there, Rigby began formulating ideas. He would get a story or plot in mind,

write it out, and ask his children whether it was good or not. All five of them (four girls and one boy), ages 16, 14, 12, 9 and 6, are his most trustworthy critics. They would give him feedback and he’d either re-write or go in a different direction completely. For “Inferno,” Rigby got his idea from a dream his wife had. “It was funny,” he said. “One day she was telling me, ‘Oh, I had the strangest dream.” And I thought, ‘That would make a good story. It came to me as I wrote it.” It took Rigby about a year to write the novel while working full time. On several nights, he would come home late at night and write a few chapters. There were some weeks, however, he couldn’t write at all because he was balancing other obligations. Even with his busy schedule though, the story eventually came together. Rigby said although authors don’t often know exactly how their stories will unfold, it’s

‘Ransom River’ is well-plotted thriller By Michelle Wiener For The Associated Press

Unemployed and nearly broke, Rory Mackenzie returns home to Ransom River only to find a jury duty summons for what promises to be the case of the century for the small California town: the shooting of an allegedly unarmed man by an off-duty police officer. Before the trial gets off the ground, however, the courtroom is attacked, and Rory is among those chosen as hostages. In the wake of this trauma — I won’t tell you how it is resolved — Rory finds she is among the prime suspects for engineering the attack. Before long, Rory uncovers a

connection between the murder case and an unsolved robbery case from long ago. What’s more, that case is somehow connected to her family. Rory is a fantastic protagonist. She’s smart, quick-thinking, fiercely loyal and resilient. She’s the sort of action hero you want to see in movies: She can take multiple hits, and they just make her stronger. Furthermore, “Ransom River” is everything you want in a blockbuster thriller: multiple plot twists, thoroughly creepy psychotic villains, danger at every turn. Gardiner has an enviable talent for pushing characters and plot elements to the point of straining credibility, but she never breaks the limits

helpful to know a basic beginning, middle and end of their future. Then, after finishing a book, the publishing process can be almost impossible if you’re new to the industry. Rigby said he tried to get “Inferno” published traditionally using a company and literary agent, but found it to be really frustrating. After sending out letters to agents and getting advice from other local published authors, Rigby’s brother suggested he self-publish through Amazon’s createspace. com. Authors can upload their stories and pay for editing services, cover art and marketing services. Rigby decided to use a different editing process and designed his own cover.

Amazon will send the author a proof of the book so they can go through and edit it, and finally, they will publish it on their site for what Rigby said is a reasonable price. “Inferno” is now available on Amazon.com, at the Book Table, Hastings and a couple libraries. It’s also available as an e-book. Rigby is doing all of his own marketing using social media and local book signings. Rigby said eventually he’d like to have a book picked up by a large publishing company, and this is his first attempt to get his name out.
