FROM THE EDITOR

I

f you ever get the chance, take a trip to St. Louis. I went there a couple years ago to help my friend move and stayed for a week. To be honest, Missouri had never been on my radar of places I wanted to visit, but once we started planning this trip, I couldn’t wait to get in the car and road trip to the Arch.

We left Logan on a Saturday, drove through cowboy country in Wyoming and past the corn fields in Nebraska. With no moun-

tains, the clear, blue sky stretched forever in the cornhusker state. We dipped into Iowa, then down to Missouri.

St. Louis is a really fun city with great eats, baseball games, history, museums and parks. We found a lot of things to do for free including the zoo. One of the neat places we visited was the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis which is known for the largest mosaic installation in the world. The walls inside are covered with intricate designs and pictures constructed together with 41.5 million glass pieces in 7,000 colors. In total, the mosaics cover 83,000 square feet, making it an

awe-inspiring sight.

I was reminded of the Cathedral Basilica this week as the Cache Magazine feature story is about Nikki Root, a local artist who makes stained glass designs. Although her work is different than the religious mosaics I saw in St. Louis, the idea of piecing glass together to make beautiful artwork is similar.

This year, Root displayed and sold her work at the Summerfest Arts Faire in June. She’s has a bunch of ideas that include jewelry, photo frames, lamp shades and using bottles in her work. Read more about her on page 8.

Hyrum Library showcasing western art One of the great themes in late 19thcentury and early 20th-century Utah art is the western tradition. Along with Utah’s rugged and dynamic landscape, the cultural and historic roots of its people provided a never-ending source of subject matter for its artist. The pioneer and western life as seen in works selected for the Hyrum Library through Aug. 31 are in many cases living memories or memories of parents and grandparents who actually participated in the settlement of Utah.

The artists represented in the Hyrum Library’s exhibit this month came from a variety of backgrounds and educations.

Some, such as Lee Green Richards, John Henry Mosier and Joseph Everett, received some of the best training the world could offer in New York, Paris and at the Chicago Art Institute. Others, such as Minvera Teichert, John Stansfield and Paul Richards, grew up in small ranching and farming communities in Utah and Idaho. To them, art was a personal passion that often had to take a second seat to the hard and demanding riggers of western rural life.

Perhaps the best known of these rural

artists was Teichert. After she finished schooling in New York and Chicago, she returned to Idaho where she married and raised five children. Her works can

be seen in public buildings from New York to California. Western landscapes and her pioneer heritage were her favorite subject matter.

Logan deceptionist Richard Hatch will speak about “Wizards in the Valley: Pioneers of Prestidigitation” at the historic Cache County Courthouse at 7 p.m. Aug. 1.

Hatch’s presentation rounds out the annual summer speaker series presented by the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau.

“Richard is a very gifted performer and magician,” said Mike Bullock, series organizer. “You really can’t believe your eyes when you see some of his amazing tricks.”

Hatch and his wife, violinist RoseMormon Wizard, and visited Logan to mary Hatch, are co-owners of the perform at the Opera House twice in Hatch Academy of Magic and Music the 1890s before departing on a tour of in Logan.

Hatch will tell Eliason’s tale and hypnotists, in Utah and in Cache Valley. For example, Oscar Eliason of Salt many others, and will include a few performances of magic inspired by his Lake City was known as Dante, the

research.

Hatch holds two graduate degrees in physics from Yale University, but finds it easier to violate the laws of nature than to discover them. A childhood interest in magic became a lifelong obsession after he met and was encouraged by the German magician Fredo Raxon in 1970. He has been a full-time professional deceptionist since 1983.

The Hatches moved to Cache Valley in October 2010 and opened the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music in the 1878 Thatcher-Young Mansion in January 2011.

ALL MIXED UP

all mixed up ‘St. Matthew Passion’ to be performed in Logan Johann Sebastian Bach’s colossal choral masterwork, “St. Matthew Passion,” will be performed in its entirety for the first time in the state of Utah in more than a decade at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 8 in the Ellen Eccles Theatre in Logan.

The undertaking is a collaboration between Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre and the American Festival Chorus and requires a double choir, a double orchestra, six soloists in major roles and nearly a dozen soloists in ancillary roles.

The work will be conducted

by Dr. Craig Jessop, dean of Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. “‘St. Matthew Passion’ represents in many ways one of the greatest achievements of the human mind and certainly among the greatest creations of religious art of any kind,” he said. “This is one of the great monuments of the choral and orchestral repertoire.”

A production of this magnitude is uniquely possible because of a friendship

between Jessop and Michael Ballam, Utah Festival’s founding general director.

After Jessop moved to Logan,

Art camp spots still available for kids

The Cache Valley Center of the Arts has a few spots left in the final 2012 Summer Art Camp. The “Magic” camp will be held July 30 through Aug. 9, Monday through Thursday. Registration is available online at www.CacheArts.org. The camp will offer a wide variety of hands-on activities for kids 5 to 11 years old. Sessions will be from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. The cost is $90 per child/session and includes a 2012 Art Camp T-shirt.

All art camp classes are held in the Bullen Center located at 43 S. Main St., in Logan.

the two explored their joint goal of creating world-class musical excellence in Utah.

They capitalized on Utah

‘Hello, Dolly’ opens tonight at Old Barn

Festival’s annual summer performance season by combining Jessop’s volunteer American Festival Chorus with Utah Festival’s orchestra, whose members come from major symphonies across the nation, and highly regarded soloists who have performed at the Metropolitan Opera and other major venues.

Ballam and Jessop began in 2010 with Verdi’s “Requiem” followed by Mozart’s “Requiem Mass in D Minor” last year, and plan to perform Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis” in 2013.

“We are bringing the highest possible standards of artistic performance to the region,” Jessop said. “It’s a musical and artistic experience that is rich and filled with depth of experience—as rich as anywhere you’d find in the world.”

Ballam added, “It’s a sublime honor and joy to be collaborating with my lifelong friend.”

The two enjoy a challenge.

“Our goal is to inspire people through performing ennobling works of art,” Ballam said.

In Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion,” the Evangelist narrates the gospel text, which comes directly from the Bible’s New Testament, and soloists sing the actual words of Jesus and his disciples in this retelling of the Passion of Christ. The sacred oratorio movingly portrays events in Jesus Christ’s life from the Last Supper to his death by crucifixion.

Bach deftly combines the strength of the musical components to engage a wide range of emotion from joy and reverence to anguish, remorse and renewed devotion.

Ballam said, “It’s not just a concert, it’s a religious experience.”

Concert tickets are $10 to $40. Utah Festival’s season runs from July 11 to Aug. 11 and includes “St. Matthew Passion,” seven additional concerts and repertory performances of “Tosca,” “Faust,” “My Fair Lady” and “Kiss Me, Kate.” Call 435-750-0300 ext.

“Hello, Dolly” will play at the Old Barn Theatre at 7:30 p.m. every Monday, Friday and Saturday from July 27 to Aug. 18. Matinees will be at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 4 and 11. The Barn Burner dinner and show will be at 6 p.m. July 26.

alking from table to table with an upright bass, banjo, guitar and harmonica, “Ugly” Earl Bradley and Steve Fillmore sing and play old country western tunes to customers eating greasy eggs, pancakes and steaks. In harmony, they tell stories through song about cowboy life, family, the mountains and simple truths and feelings sometimes only music can explain. Performing in cafés has been a favorite pastime of the duo for more than 12 years. They say they met about 20 years ago and have been performing as The Tumbleweeds since 2000.

• “We’re both cowboys at heart. I played in rodeos in high school.

I was a calf-roper in high school. And he still works as a dairy cattle nutritionist and he drives school bus,” says Bradley.

• If customers ask Bradley how he got the nickname Ugly Earl, he’ll tell you the story. It may or may not be true.

• Bradley will also tell several other stories during his performances with Fillmore which may or may not be true.

• Both Bradley and Fillmore are self-taught musicians. Fillmore sings most of the lead vocals, while Bradley backs him up with harmony.

• The Tumbleweeds have recorded two albums as a duo and another with a band they were part of years ago.

• Every year, Bradley and Fillmore attend a fiddling competition in Idaho for 10 days, but they don’t compete. Instead, they play music “for 20 hours a day,” Bradley says. “You can play swing or cowboy and he and I always do a show one night where we’ll dress up. We’ve done that for years and years.”

• Bradley and Fillmore can play a couple hundred songs, some original and a lot of them not. Fillmore writes the songs under The Tumbleweeds name.

• “It’s really pleasing to be able to write a song and have somebody help you harmonize and put it together. It’s really fun to do that,” Fillmore says.

• The Tumbleweeds used to perform twice a week at cafés in the valley, but they say the poor economy affects how often they get asked to perform. They don’t get as many gigs these days. Bradley and Fillmore occasionally perform at Pier 49 Pizza in Providence and other restaurants when invited. They say they have a show people like.

• “We try really hard to change keys on some of the songs, to change the tempo and the lyrics. Something we play that you might not like, your friends would like,” Bradley says. “If we’re playing to an audience, we’re going to play something that everyone will like, kids included. We have a lot of funny songs that we do — pig songs, cow songs, all kinds of crazy things. And it’s just fun to have the interaction from the crowd.”

• Fillmore says they like going to cafés best because they can stop at the tables and get to know people. They also perform at church functions, weddings, funerals and parties.

• “We try to interact with our audience ... We tell a little about us, not too much. They can figure out I’m ugly and he’s not,” says Bradley. “When we were playing at some of the cafés, people would call the café or they’d call us and ask if we were playing that night. Sometimes we’d say ‘No, we’re playing tomorrow,’ and they’d say, ‘OK, we’re not going until tomorrow night then.’”

movies More not necessarily better for ‘Step Up’

By Justin Lowe Associated Press

With “Step Up Revolution,” their second summertime at-bat after “Rock of Ages,” producers Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot return to one of the things they do best — making young unknowns look like the next big thing.

In its fourth installment, however, the “Step Up” franchise has traded an air of inevitability for one of predictability. While die-hard fans and dance fanatics will respond on the opening weekend, ongoing competition from superheroes and cute cartoon characters may slow momentum in subsequent weeks.

After dancing its way across Baltimore and New York City in previous iterations, “Step Up” moves to Miami, where homeboys Sean (Ryan Guzman) and Eddy (Misha Gabriel) have been best buds since toddler-hood and now lead a local dance flash mob known as The Mob. Together with their crew, including choreographers, visual artists and a DJ, the guys have been busting out surprise dance numbers all over Miami and shooting video to compete in a YouTube contest to win $1 million.

Sean’s day job as a waiter at a luxury hotel helps support his dance habit and pay the rent on the house he shares with his single-mom sister (Megan Boone) and niece. When Emily Anderson (Kathryn McCormick) turns up at

the hotel — owned by her father Bill (Peter Gallagher), a ruthless realestate developer — for a summer of bartending while preparing to audition for a coveted spot with a high-toned local dance company, attraction inevitably sparks between the two.

As it turns out, aloof Emily needs Sean’s help more than she suspects.

Seems that the dance company director (Mia Michaels) thinks Emily is a talented performer but wound a bit too tightly.

So if she wants to make it onto the roster, Emily is going to need some new

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

If you want to see a funny, witty, and clever way to make an alien invasion movie that takes place within the confines of a nondescript neighborhood, watch “Attack the Block.” If, however, you want to see one of the most unfunny and deplorably stupid comedies to come along since “The Dilemma,” then take in a showing of “The Watch” this weekend.

“The Watch” is lazy comedy at its worse.

A trio of well-known funny guys were assembled (Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn), a wacky premise was set up (alien invasion versus the neighborhood watch group), and the actors were let loose to improvise their way through the movie, which ended up turning into 98 minutes of jokes about male genitalia.

Evan (Stiller) is a local Costco manager in a happy town called Glenview. Then the happiness is shattered by a gruesome murder of one of Evan’s nighttime security employees. Fearing that a criminal element is taking hold of his fair town, Evan sets about creating a neighborhood watch. He finds a few recruits. There’s Franklin (Hill), the guy who just wants to bust heads because he flunked the police academy; Bob (Vaughn) the over-thehill loser with teenage kids who just wants some buddies to hang out with; and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade) the character with the token British accent.

Not too far into the movie I wrote in my

The comedy is ill-timed. Jokes routinely fall flat, Hill and Vaughn — who have been graced by the director with whatever

They focus nearly their entire comedic effort on trying out one penis-related joke after another. Like watching a stand-up comic bomb on stage, “The Watch” is dreadfully painful in every conceivable way.

Stay far, far away from ‘The Watch’

GLASSCREATIONS NIKKI ROOT DESIGNS WINDOWS, JEWELRY, PICTURE FRAMES

hen Nikki Root moved to Cache Valley in 1994, she realized her new house was missing something.

“My husband and I moved here from Atlanta,” she says. “In Atlanta, we had stained glass in our home and once you have stained glass in your home, you cannot live without it.”

A do-it-yourself person, Root decided to make stained-glass windows for her new home on her own. “I took a class to make sure I could do it and learned how. Then I self-taught all of the other techniques that I use.”

Now, she teaches the class she was once a student in. “I’ve taught it for several years… It’s through the Logan City School District. They hold it three times a year and it’s a six-week course. I just teach the basics. I teach (people) how to cut the glass and how to solder.”

Along with teaching, Root has turned her love of stained glass into a professional calling: designing, creating and repairing windows and other art pieces — including jewelry, picture frames, boxes and even lamp shades — for customers from all over the valley and out of state.

“I do custom (things) for people’s windows.

I do sidelights and transoms… You can do picture frames, you can do jewelry boxes, you can do jewelry,” she says. “A lot of people (bring me) their family heirloom pieces that are tucked away or chipped and I’m able to make panels for them to enjoy.”

On top of that, “you’ve got to determine the people’s needs, because sometimes they want to see through (the stained glass) and a lot of times they want privacy,” Root says. The glass selection is done very carefully depending on the needs of the customer.”

Although she normally advertises her work online and through word of mouth, this year she opened a booth at Summerfest to showcase some of her pieces. After a positive experience and lining up some work at the event, she considers the move a smart one and plans to take part in the event next year as well.

For those interested in making their own stained glass, some investment is required.

“Getting started in stained glass is actually quite pricey,” Root says. “You can easily have $150 invested in tools. After that, you just need

to buy solder (a lead and tin composite) and glass.”

The work itself is also demanding and can be fraught with problems.

The design stage requires the foresight to see how each piece of glass should lay and how the solder outline ties it all together. The glass is “cut” by scoring its surface with a cutting tool to encourage it to break a certain way, which does not always work out. The solder is melted and cooled into whatever design the outline calls for.

Repair work carries its own set of challenges, Root says. “Repairs are challenging because most of them are older pieces and it’s next to impossible to find the exact same glass and also even the metal they used. So I’ve had to actually hand craft some metal channels to imitate and to match.”

None of this extensive work appears to bother her either. “I love it,” she says. “I love repairing.”

In her quest to learn ever more challenging techniques, Root has also fallen in love with bottle bottoms.

“This last year, what I’m branching out into is incorporating bottle bottoms… It creates more of a three-dimensional effect,” she says. However, the 3D effect also means more work. The glass is thicker and uneven so it requires more effort and skill to craft a piece containing bottle bottoms. She also travels all over, frequenting garage sales, stores and more, in search of vintage glass pieces — plates, bowls, vases and cups — to incorporate into her bottle bottom designs.

But, it’s worth it.

“It takes stained glass from being stained glass to being a one of a kind, unique piece of art ... You can do a piece (of stained glass) and (a stained glass artist) can take a picture of it and then go home and make it themselves,” but a bottle bottom piece cannot be exactly reproduced, Root says.

There’s no shortage of inspiration for such pieces.

“The ideas are endless and I can’t keep up with my ideas.”

Nikki Root works on a traditional stained glass piece in Providence on Wednesday. Root incorporates vintage glass into her bottle bottom pieces.

None of this extensive work appears to bother her either. “I love it,” she says. “I love repairing.”

In her quest to learn ever more challenging techniques, Root has also fallen in love with bottle bottoms.

“This last year, what I’m branching out into is incorporating bottle bottoms… It creates more of a three-dimensional effect,” she says. However, the 3D effect also means more work. The glass is thicker and uneven so it requires more effort and skill to craft a piece containing bottle bottoms. She also travels all over, frequenting garage sales, stores and more, in search of vintage glass pieces — plates, bowls, vases and cups — to incorporate into her bottle bottom designs.

But, it’s worth it.

“It takes stained glass from being stained glass to being a one of a kind, unique piece of art ... You can do a piece (of stained glass) and (a stained glass artist) can take a picture of it and then go home and make it themselves,” but a bottle bottom piece cannot be exactly reproduced, Root says.

There’s no shortage of inspiration for such pieces.

“The ideas are endless and I can’t keep up with my ideas.”

Nikki Root works on a traditional stained glass piece in Providence on Wednesday. Root incorporates vintage glass into her bottle bottom pieces.

Burke’s ‘Creole Belle’ is heart-pounding thriller

By Bruce DeSilva For The Associated Press

Dave Robicheaux, a police detective in New Iberia, La., and his huge and dangerous sidekick, Clete Purcell, are back at it, battling the evil forces that corrupt and despoil their beloved Southern Louisiana.

When we last left them in “The Glass Rainbow,” they were both near death, shot to pieces in a gunfight on the Bayou Teche. Now, as “Creole Belle” opens, Robicheaux is still in the hospital with a morphine drip in his arm — not the best thing for a man who’s battled substance abuse all his life.

Dave cannot be sure, then, whether it is Tee Jolie Melton or a morphine-induced vision that appears at his bedside and gives him an iPod that

plays the old blues song “My Creole Belle.”

But when Dave recovers enough to check out of the hospital against doctor’s orders, he discovers that Tee Jolie, a local Cajun lounge singer, is missing. And before long, her sister is murdered, the body mysteriously washing ashore inside a huge block of ice.

The fate of the sisters isn’t all that’s troubling Dave and Clete. A huge oil spill is polluting the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A bookmaker is demanding that Clete pay off an old $30,000 marker that he doesn’t really owe. And a young woman, who may be Clete’s long-lost daughter, is gunning down low-level mobsters in New Orleans.

Clete has been Dave’s sidekick for 19 books, but until now he’s been the second

conspiracy involving a major art-theft ring, sex slavery, corrupt oil company executives and the never-ending pillaging of Louisiana.

Dave and Clete, who have always been outgunned on their Quixiotic quests for justice, are acutely aware of their own mortality now, and have grown a bit long in the tooth for this kind of work.

But they see the thing through to a violent, guns-blazing

new york times best-sellers banana. In “Creole Belle,” he’s given such a large role that the new novel is more his book than Dave’s.

As the story unfolds, the two friends gradually discover that their troubles are somehow tied up in a larger

Autonomous drones attack in ‘Kill Decision’

By Jeff Ayers For The Associated Press

Push a button and an unmanned aerial drone can fly hundreds of miles to hit a specific military target. Sometimes they miss their target by a tiny fraction and the collateral damage results in civilian casualties. Daniel Suarez’s new thriller, “Kill Decision,” asks what would happen if artificial intelligence could acquire a target without any human involvement. Suarez examines this possibility, mixing in hard science to deliver the authenticity necessary for a terrifyingly real scenario.

The story follows a Special Ops soldier with the code name of Odin as he rescues scientist Linda McKinney following a lab explosion. Someone has followed her studies

into the social interactions of weaver ants and incorporated that methodology into a new autonomous drone. Scientists lose both data and their lives, and suddenly the United States becomes a war zone

conclusion.

All the characters, including Dave’s daughter Alafair and the duplicitous Dupree family, are superbly drawn, and the plot is heart-pounding, so the novel is sure to be embraced by author James Lee Burke’s fans. However, it includes so many references to earlier adventures that newcomers are advised to start with previous books in this great crime fiction series.

as people around the country witness targeted missile attacks.

Nobody knows when the next explosion will occur, or what other computers with top-secret research will be compromised. McKinney and Odin take the call to action to stop the threat without the help of technology, since their equipment can track and kill them.

“Kill Decision” reads like a Michael Crichton thriller, showcasing the science we use today and creating a future that could become reality.

However, a section highlighting some of the more difficult scientific terms and acronyms scattered throughout the novel and further discussing the ramifications of the concepts that “Kill Decision” explores would have been helpful.
