From the editor

ne of my favorite songs of all time is “Imagine” by John Lennon. I’m sure most of you have heard it a million times, but if you’re like me, it never gets old. I appreciate the lyrics longing for people to come together — to put religion and possessions aside for peace. I especially love the chorus which mentions dreaming of the world as one. Dreams come in all forms; trips to Europe, writing a book, opening a postcard business, learning to play the guitar and taking art and photography classes are a few of mine. For others, a dream come true may be owning a home, seeing their favorite band in concert, designing or constructing an amazing building, or winning the

famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. For local merchant Gene Needham, one of his dreams is turning Logan into a place where artists can gather and display their work (page 8). It’s a lofty dream as he plans to complete major construction on some vacant buildings in town that will eventually become public art galleries. One of the best things about art is it often brings people together in a way that other mediums can’t. It’s open for interpretation, it can reflect all kinds of emotion and show us the world in ways we never imagined before. It’s the same way a song can help us remember to dream. In the words of John Lennon: “You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will be as one.” — Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Logan Arthouse presents Town Mountain he Bridger Folk Music Society T presents a concert with the bluegrass band Town Mountain on Wednesday, July 27, at 7:30 p.m. at the Logan Arthouse, 795 N. Main in Logan. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 at the door and are available by calling 435-881-9076, or take your chances at the door. The concert is sponsored by Import Auto and Utah Public Radio. You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again, “Town Mountain’s not your granddaddy’s bluegrass,” or “Town Mountain is a great traditional bluegrass band.” Fortunately both of these statements are true. How do they maintain this sound? A lot of it has to do with influence. Everybody in the band brings their own unique musical background to the table. Some of the boys grew up listening to classic country such as George Jones and Waylon Jennings, while others were paying attention to Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead. But at some point in time they all started

to expand their musical horizons. Some found jazz, some found punk, some found Americana, but it’s safe to say that all of them, at about the same time, either found or started to pay more attention to one of America’s oldest musical traditions, bluegrass. Now 10 years after this discovery the band is ready to plant their foot into it’s sixth year of existence. Starting back in 2005, the band won the prestigious Rockygrass band competition. That win kicked the band’s future into high gear, establishing the group as a force among American string bands. Their live show is not to be missed. You are now more than likely to see the band at major festivals across the country from the west coast, Yonder Mountain’s String Summit to North Carolina’s Merlefest and all points in between. Musical influence, fine-tuned vocals, precision crafted instrumentalists, and charming stage presence are all ingredients in what makes a sound ... unique.

One more ingredient that is essential in producing this sound: new songs. Town Mountain has the capacity to bring fresh and exciting material to their high-quality music. With topics ranging from love lost and heartache to the weariness of a midnight drive across Americas heartland to politically charged topics that many musicians steer clear of. You will find that Town Mountain’s songwriting is heartfelt, sincere and honest. This year Town Mountain has teamed up with Pinecastle Records to release their third album, “Steady Operator.” Now the band, more musically mature and honing in on a sound that suits them collectively as well as personally, is ready to show the acoustic music world that they are in fact on the cutting edge of old and new. A recognizable sound with youthful interpretation of a music that continues to evolve, this is bluegrass. For more information, go to www. bridgerfolk.org or http://www.townmountain.net/

sode of “Buzz Gatecrasher and the Cosmic Riddle” on July 25 and 26 in the Morgan Theatre on Utah State University’s campus. The production is the capstone project for the talented students who participate in the Old Lyric Repertory Company’s High School Apprentice Program. The Old Lyric Repertory Company Apprentice program partners with Utah State University and includes high school juniors and seniors. The apprentices have an opportunity to experience educational and professional theater and attend theater classes, work backstage and onstage in supporting roles and are involved with costumes, sound and design. In “Episode 26” Buzz Gatecrasher, Hillen Dale the aqua ballerina, and Doctor Arthur Deco the scientific wizard, battle against the evil Lord Vaknor, who is the Emperor of the Universe. “Episode 26” is a mix of comic book, old fashion radio show and sci-fi space movie. “Episode 26” will be performed at 2 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. July 25 (yes the young people have that kind of energy) and at 2 p.m. July 26. Tickets are $5 for general admission. They are available at arts.usu.edu, 435-7978022 and at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center.

Roxanne Salisbury, the current chairman of Newton’s Library Board, is excited about the historic rock house tour because it will raise funds for the library, but also because she grew up in Newton and appreciates its history. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these old houses, which are Newton’s treasures.

Newton Library in the Municipal Building, and the Newton Market, which is in the center of town. It is all part of an oldfashioned Pioneer Day celebration that will include a picnic in the park, with the Newton Market, a historic store, and the only one in town, offering free refreshments to all ticket holders for the home tour.

New this week “Friends with Benefits” Rated R ★★1⁄2 Director and co-writer Will Gluck (“Easy A”) has crafted a hyper, R-rated, postmodern rom-com that laments the genre’s saccharine falsehoods while ultimately falling prey to the clichés it strives to upend. The dialogue is snappy and the plot makes efforts for emotional realism, but the story is a familiar one: romantically exhausted friends (Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) try to forge a sexual relationship without emotion. They have terrific comedic timing and look great in bed together, but don’t have enough friction for real chemistry. Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins lead a strong supporting cast, but Gluck’s film is too smooth for the realism and mockery it seeks. Its best parody comes in a film within the film, a mock rom-com with Jason Segel and Rashida Jones. Easily superior to and far smarter than the earlier released “No Strings Attached.” 104 minutes.

‘Captain America’ entertaining but lacking

DREAMING BIG of something

f you’re going to dream, you might as well dream big. And local merchant Gene Needham is dreaming — dreaming of turning Cache Valley into an artists’ haven through his latest venture, Logan Fine Art, currently known as The Art Center. The center started as a collection of art supplies at The Book Table in downtown Logan, then spread to its own building, first on Main Street then to the old Everton building at 25 W. 100 North about five years ago. Now Needham is relocating again, to the old Cinema 3 movie theater at 60 W. 100 North. Needham, who has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in art, has had a “developing art interest” since 1973. Now in his 70s, he says he needs something to do, and has chosen to continue focusing on the growing art population in Cache Valley. “I’ve been a merchant my whole adult life,” he says. And now he wants to “bring together the good artists we have in the valley.”

Combining those talents led to the creation of The Art Center, a place that provides classrooms, open work space, framing supplies and services, art supplies and more. The new center will provide the same, but with a lot more room, including 5,000 open square feet for gallery space, plus two classrooms. Needham’s hope is that his new venture will bring together and inspire local artists, both new and amateur. He says so many artists go “from finger-painting to sketching things … like dogs” then don’t know what to do next; he wants to help them find their own dream. Many artists graduate from Utah State University then remain in the valley, he says, and he wants to give them a place to sell and display their work: “I’d like to create a league of artists that are associated with Cache Valley.” The idea to expand is a new one. After he bought the old theater building last November because it was “such a good price,” he said it took only four days to decide what he

Artist Gene Needham has plans to make Logan an art mecca

wanted to do with it. With the help of recent art graduate Michelle Larsen, Needham has been building on his new idea, both figuratively and literally. Their to-do list includes a dozen items, such as hosting workshops; putting on art contests and competitions; hosting shows; providing school study programs; collaborating with local high schools and art teachers; providing better art and framing supplies and services; publishing an art-focused newsletter; creating a community calendar; and hosting his own high school art show. He even hopes Larsen will eventually become the valley’s “portfolio adviser” for budding artists. Converting the old theater into a space fit for an art gallery hasn’t exactly been easy. Needham says he’s had to jump through hoops — from Logan city to the Cache Valley Historical Society — and is just now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Workers have leveled the theater floor and brought the building up to code; now they just need to finish the electric work, win-

dows, insulation and sheetrock. Needham hopes to have it finished in about a month. If anyone can do it, though, it’s Gene Needham. He has been building and remodeling buildings since 1968 and has owned 23 buildings just in downtown Logan. The dream doesn’t stop here — Needham’s long-term plans include opening a fine art museum in the vacant building on Main Street near 300 North (another building he bought because he couldn’t pass up the great price). He says he “wants to see Logan develop its own fine art museum.” If everything goes as planned, Needham will bring the famous Twyla Tharp quote to life for artists and residents who call Cache Valley home: “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.”

Getting by with a false sense of security here’s a micron-thin T veneer of trust that keeps your life from falling

apart. Every day you give a bank teller, a food server or a humming machine critical information, all the while trusting that it is somehow encrypted or the random human being looks official enough for you to trust. Case in point: I go into the bank and deposit $1,213 of accumulated checks from my vast financial empire and ask for $60 cash back so I can maybe buy a can of Diet Coke and tank full of gas on the way home. The teller asks for my driver’s license and enters the entire driver’s license number before she can give me the three $20s. I question this heightened level of security and she says “Well, you want us to be as careful as possible with your money don’t you?” Well actually, no, I think to myself. I would like any and

everybody to deposit $1,213 in my account and only take out $60. I don’t even care if they are American citizens. After several months of this I could retire. I know the teller was just following procedures, but the procedures don’t make sense. Security is an illusion. People complain about the Internet being insecure but then go into any restaurant anywhere, hand their credit card to a stranger who disappears for 10 minutes before coming back with a receipt. The whole Rupert Murdock and Daily World News hacking people’s cell phones scandal just convinces me that nothing is really safe. I’m pretty sure that anything you have could be stolen at any time if there are enough people out there who don’t like what you are doing. It would probably drive you crazy if you spent much time thinking of all the ways your

personal information could be stolen. Fortunately nothing is real out there anyway. There is very little tangible money being exchanged. In fact the government is supposedly sitting on $1 billion in one dollar coins that it can’t get people to spend because they are just too inconvenient. They tried a program of mailing them to people postage-free but soon discovered that people were just charging them to their credit cards for the frequent flier miles and then immediately depositing the coins in the bank; repeat frequently until you have two free tickets to Hawaii. I might as well write my passwords on my forearm with a Sharpie. The only problem is, I have enough passwords for three or four forearms.

every six months. Some require numbers, letters and symbols while others prohibit tildes, at-signs and ampersands. Do you even know what those are on the keyboard? Then there are the security questions such as

“what was the name of your first pet?” The only problem is if your pet has a four-letter name that’s not acceptable on some site because they only accept five-letter or longer answers. Don’t try to keep it simple and memorable because several Internet businesses now ban passwords that are too easy to guess such as “password” or “123456.” Don’t try to make it too cute because you might have to repeat and spell embarrassing passwords such as “squeakypants” or “flufflebutt” if you need help from a live person running tech support from India.

‘The Triple Agent’ is a fast-paced page turner By Adam Goldman The Associated Press

hen I first learned W the title of a new book that details a botched CIA operation in Afghanistan that claimed the lives of seven agency employees, I worried that the author hadn’t done his homework. But author, Joby Warrick of The Washington Post retells one of the worst intelligence debacles in the history of the CIA, an event that shook the spy agency to its core. He successfully tears back the curtain on how the CIA conducted the operation, with graceful writing and an eye for detail.

On Dec. 31, 2009, a young doctor named Humam al-Balawi blew himself up at the CIA base in Khost. His powerful bomb blast sprayed body parts across the compound. Not only did the base chief die but he also managed to kill al-Balawi’s Jordanian handler, who was a cousin to King Abdullah II. Six other CIA officers were wounded. It was a major victory for alQaida and a stunning defeat for the CIA. Warrick, who clearly got help from the CIA and the Jordanian General Intelligence Department (GID) to write his book, picks an unsympathetic vehicle to drive the narrative:

Katie Lee’s ‘Groundswell’ is a good read for the beach By Alicia Rancilio The Associated Press

The book ends without Warrick fully exploring the aftermath. He doesn’t probe the thinking of the senior CIA officials who approved the fiasco, nor does he discuss why no one was held accountable. Why didn’t CIA Director Leon Panetta punish anyone? Because he was afraid of the hard-to-handle clandestine service turning on him? He certainly bought their line after the attack. Mistakes happen in this risky business. Turned out there were systemic failures, not mere mistakes. These were questions worth answering. Still, Warrick tells a riveting tale. It’s a must-read for counterterrorism and spy junkies.

eaders looking to R draw parallels between Katie Lee’s first novel,

“Groundswell,” and her real life might be disappointed. Yes, the book follows a protagonist named Emma whose marriage to a celebrity falls apart. (Lee and singer-songwriter Billy Joel split in 2009 after five years of marriage.) But Emma’s story is different. She catches the eye of actor Garrett Walker while working as a production assistant on one of his films. Garrett pursues Emma, lavishing her with expensive dinners, gifts and lots of attention. They marry, and life seems like a romantic movie until Emma catches Garrett in an affair. To get away from the paparazzi, Emma flees to Mexico, where she falls for her surf instructor. It’s interesting to read about Emma’s transformation from an ordinary girl to the wife of

al-Balawi. Warrick’s gamble works.

He plunges into al-Balawi’s life. At first, it’s not clear how much value al-Balawi holds as a spy. He breaks quickly during his GID interrogation, but surprises his handlers and suggests he should go to the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan, where al-Qaida operatives are hiding. The GID and CIA decide to take a chance. They have nothing to lose by sending him to Pakistan — if he dies, nobody would notice. Warrick recounts what happens in gruesome detail: The dead; the wounded; the carnage. Later, the CIA exacted revenge. On the day one of the dead was buried, the CIA killed al-Yazid in a drone strike.

a movie star. And readers will sympathize with Emma when she realizes that her fairy-tale life wasn’t so perfect. “Groundswell” is a good beach read and holds its own among chick lit. Lee, who has made a name for herself as a TV personality and a chef, is also a pretty good storyteller.
