When it comes to tractors and old cars, you would be hard pressed to find anyone with a collection larger than 96year-old Millville resident Lafonzo Zollinger. “I don’t know how I collected so many,” Lafonzo said. “I don’t even remember where they all come from. ...” Read more about Zollinger’s collection on Page 8.

INCE THIS WEEK’S magazine falls on my sister Nikki’s birthday, I think I’ll dedicate this column to her and how amazing she is. I really couldn’t ask for a better big sister. We may have had our troubles (like the time she zipped me into her suitcase or when she smacked me on the head with her toe shoe) but now that we’re both older we’ve become best friends. When I make the trek to Portland to visit we love to sit outside and sip coffee in the mornings, nap in the afternoons and watch trashy reality TV well into the night. Of course all those plans revolve around our trips to every Target within a 60-minute drive, many stops for

donettes and Starbucks and splurges on flip flops, sunglasses and purses. Many times we’ve gone our separate ways to get ready only to meet back up in the living room wearing pretty much the same outfit. We own the same watch, sunglasses, wallet, coffee pot ... the list goes on. My mom even still buys us matching pajamas for Christmas Eve. Nikki is getting married in September (to the best brother-in-law I could hope for), meaning I get to spend 10 days with her getting pampered, putting the finishing touches on her wedding and basically just enjoying being her little sister. I can’t wait! Happy birthday, seeester, and have a great weekend, everyone! — Jamie Baer Nielson Cache Magazine editor

Pet: Goober From: Ben & Jamie Nielson Why she’s so lovable: “Goober is such an awesome kitten — while she’s a little crazy and tends to run full force into windows and walls, she also loves to cuddle and be held. But she doesn’t want to just snuggle on your lap; she has to wrap her body around your neck and purr herself to sleep. She also loves to be held; I can just carry her around the house and she’ll fall asleep in my arms. Goober is very persistent about getting her new brother and sister to pay attention to her, so she likes to stalk their moving tails and, when she just can’t take it anymore,
she pounces. Usually the other cats just give her an annoyed look and walk away, but every once in awhile she’ll get a warning swat across the nose.”

Charley Simmons up next at Crumb Bros.
T
HE BRIDGER FOLK Music Society will present an evening with guitarist and songwriter Charley Simmons at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan. Tickets are $10 and available by calling 757-3468. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended. From early days of plinkin’ on a $40 Sears & Roebuck guitar to his present status as a performing and recording artist, Simmons has made a lifetime of entertaining people with his music. Born in 1950 and raised on a farm near Blackiston Crossroads, Del., Simmons began playing the guitar at age 9. “Pretty much the way it went was, my dad would whistle an old Jimmie Rogers or Hank Williams tune and I’d hunt down the notes on the fret board,” said Simmons. “Kind of a primitive Suzuki method, but I guess it helped me develop a pretty good ear. Winters were long and cold there, and living out in the country left you lots of practice time.” By the age of 16, Simmons was earning money traveling and performing throughout the state with a band,

but it wasn’t until his move to St. Augustine, Fla., in 1971, and his exposure to the late Gamble Rogers, that he began to develop his own finger-picking solo style. “I used to watch Gamble perform at the Tradewinds and wondered how he made that guitar sound like there were two players on stage,” he said. “So I threw away my flat pick and started to teach myself, with a lot of pointers from Gamble, how to play that style. I think it only took me two years before I’d perform past the bedroom door.” Since that time, in spite of a long hiatus raising a family, his playing has taken him much further. Simmons was the 1992 Utah State Flattop Guitar Champion, the 2002 Wyoming State Fingerstyle Champion, the winner of the 2003 Gamble Rogers Fingerstyle Guitar Competition and a winner in the 2005 KRCL Singer/Songwriter Competition. Simmons’ music is as diverse as his musical influences have been, drawing on folk, blues, bluegrass and jazz. For more information, visit www.charley simmons.com.

Suppose you’re an attractive high school girl and you’re not only a member of a large and unique family but your father is, in fact, one of the great pioneers of indus-
trial efficiency. Then suppose he decides, for no apparent reason, to apply his unorthodox methods to you and the rest of your family. The results are terribly embarrassing, funny and, it must be admitted, extremely effective. To Anne, however, the chief effect seems to be that of making them seem ridiculous to everyone else at school — especially to the boys. This cast of youthful actors includes: Don Wilhelm of Layton as Frank Gilbreth; Michelle Jeppsen of Perry as his wife; and Janessa Richardson of North Ogden as their oldest daughter, Anne. This production is directed by Mark Daniels.
program’s Common Literature Experience by reading “Barefoot Heart: Stories of a Migrant Child.” The community can join President Stan L. Albrecht, USU faculty, staff and the 2009 incoming class enrolled in Connections as they read the book and attend an August convocation lecture that features the author, Elva Treviño Hart. Each year a committee of campus and community members selects a book that will challenge readers to think, ponder conflicting ideas and face a world different than their own. “Barefoot Heart” is the story of a migrant family who travels from Texas to Minnesota and Wisconsin each summer to work in the beet fields. The book is a memoir, written in the voice of the author as she describes her family’s experiences, her need to honor her migrant heritage and her quest for knowledge, which helps her earn a degree in computer science from Stanford University. “The memoir raises issues of the migrant experience in America, discrimination and the value of education,” said Noelle Call, director of Retention and First-Year Experience and Connections program director. “The book also lends itself to a discussion of personal choices, goals and persistence in the face of many obstacles. I hope the issues in the book will provide the students and community an opportunity to learn about Latino issues in our own community.” USU students are invited to come to campus a week early and enroll in the Connections course, which is specifically designed to ease a student’s transition to university life at USU. The literature experience culminates for Connections students and community members with a convocation lecture by the author, Elva Treviño Hart, at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center on campus. The event is free and open to the public. Overflow seating will be provided in the Morgan Theatre. For more information, contact Call at 797-1194.

Film Still playing “The Ugly Truth” Rated R ★1⁄2 At the end of this drearily formulaic romantic comedy, as our two leads are finally admitting they’ve fallen for each other (no spoilers here, folks), Katherine Heigl’s character asks Gerard Butler’s why he’s in love with her. Basically he says he has no idea, only he phrases it with a word we can’t reprint here. Our sentiments exactly. Obviously, in a battleof-the-sexes comedy like this, the guy and the girl who hate each other at the beginning realize they’re meant for each other by the end. But there’s nothing even remotely likable, much less lovable, about Heigl’s Abby Richter. The idea of a woman being so rigid and frigid is purely archaic — which is why it’s so disheartening that
New this week! the script comes from three women. When Butler’s brash Mike Chadway gets hired to boost ratings at the station after hosting a popular cable-access show on dating, he and Abby immediately clash. Naturally, that will change. R for sexual content and language. 100 min.

“Aliens in the Attic” Rated PG (N/A) A review for “Aliens in the Attic” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www. RottenTomatoes.com: “‘Aliens in the Attic,’ co-scripted by one of the writers of ‘Madagascar’ and the Academy Award-winning ‘Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbits,’ is an adventure/comedy about kids on a family vacation who must fight off an attack by knee-high alien invaders with world-destroying ambitions — while the youngsters’ parents remain clueless about the battle.” PG for action violence, some suggestive humor and language. 86 min.
“G-Force” Rated PG ★ Producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s usual visual-effects mayhem has been shrunk down to rodent size. Not much has been lost in inter-species translation. “G-Force” is centered on an elite squad of guinea pigs who
resemble small(er) versions of Tom Cruise in “Mission: Impossible.” A number of stars lend their voices (Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Tracy Morgan, Penelope Cruz) in a 3-D action farce that despite its diminutive characters, maintains all the large-scale obviousness of
your standard blockbuster. The guinea pigs spout off tired slang (“Holla!”) and scroll through their Facebook pages. (One highlight is Cage’s voice work as Speckles the mole, which probably sounds like damning by faint praise.) If “G-Force” has a cousin, it isn’t “Ratatouille” (not by a long shot), but “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” the 2007 film that also married live action with furry, animated cliches. The on-screen actors (Zach Galifianakis, Will Arnett, Bill Nighy) do their best to stay cheerful, but perhaps their experience is best represented in a scene in which a surveillance mosquito flies up Nighy’s nose. Directed by Hoyt Yeatman, the film’s 3-D effects can make the viewing experience either more interesting or simply more expensive. PG for some mild action and rude humor. 89 min. — Reviews by the AP
I
F ONLY ADAM Sandler and Seth Rogen hadn’t gotten in the car. If only they hadn’t left Los Angeles, where everything in “Funny People� was going so well, and driven north to Marin County, where everything falls apart. Judd Apatow would have had his most mature, accomplished film to date. Instead, the last hour or so meanders interminably, its tone wavering all over the place, leading to a quickie conclusion that feels pat. And that is such a letdown when you consider the strength and ambition of the material that preceded it. “Funny People� provides the eternally adolescent Sandler with yet another opportunity to show his serious side, following substantive turns in films like “Punch-Drunk Love� and “Spanglish.� But it also allows Apatow, as writer and director, to display some previously unexplored darker instincts, with a story that mixes his typically raunchy guy talk with deeper discussions about mortality. Both men rise to the challenge. (Shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, Steven Spielberg’s longtime collaborator, “Funny People� also looks a lot more polished than the first two films Apatow directed, “The 40-Year-Old Virgin� and “Knocked Up.� You could think of it as “Sandler’s List.�) But Apatow should have maintained his focus on the friendship that forms between Sandler (as superstar George Simmons) and Rogen (as aspiring stand-up Ira Wright) as well
Aisle Seat
as the established comics and wannabes that surround them. Instead, he has his characters make an unnecessary road trip in search of George’s long-lost love — with both George and the film losing their way. We first see him as a rising comedian, courtesy of home movies Apatow injects of a young Sandler, his real-life roommate long before either of them made it big. Today, George has a thriving career based on his popular stage act and silly crowdpleasers. The movies, which have titles like “Sayonara, Davey!� and require him to appear as a merman or grown-up in a baby’s body, are a dead-on parody of the kinds of dreck on which Sandler has built his empire. You have to give him credit for so gleefully poking fun at his worst work.

But then George learns he has a terminal disease. Suddenly, his perspective on everything duly changes, from the stacks of scripts waiting to be read to the random women willing to jump in his bed. He still wants to work but lacks his former enthusiasm — hence his interest in Ira, who’s young and hungry the way he used to be and who reminds him of a purer time. After seeing Ira do a set at an L.A. comedy club, George hires him to be his assistant, joke writer and friend — and the only person he initially tells

about his illness. Apatow handles their scenes together with surprising delicacy and zero sentimentality; Rogen, usually a bellowing bear of a screen presence, has slimmed down on the outside and nicely underplays it on the inside. The moments when he and George are harshly tooling on each other or confiding in one other are some of the film’s most appealing, despite the heavy subject matter; so are the ones in which George, Ira and other comics bat around ideas and hone their craft. (Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman play Ira’s roommates.) Cameos from the likes of Ray Romano, Norm MacDonald, Dave Attell and Sarah Silverman as themselves add to the authenticity, but it’s a scene with Eminem — someone who’s experienced his own

share of highs and lows — that crystallizes everything “Funny People� is about. From there, though — not to give away too much — George drags Ira with him to chase after the one that got away: Laura, who’s now married and living north of San Francisco with her rich, Australian husband (Eric Bana). Laura is played by Apatow’s wife, Leslie Mann; the couple’s daughters, Maude and Iris, play their girls, Mable and Ingrid. Ostensibly, this overlong segment is meant to demonstrate the kind of traditional, satisfying life George might have had if he’d made different choices; instead, it plays like a self-indulgent showcase of Apatow’s family at the expense of cohesion and momentum. And there’s nothing funny about that. “Funny People,� a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for language and crude sexual humor throughout, and some sexuality. Running time: 145 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

96-year-old Lafonzo Zollinger sits on the wheel of a McCormick-Deering 1020 at his home in Millville on Wednesday.
hen it comes to tractors, you would be hard pressed to find anyone with a collection larger than Lafonzo Zollinger of Millville. Not that he’s trying to win some contest; the 96-year-old Cache Valley native just likes having them around. It reminds him of when he was younger and farming various fields in the south end of the valley and in Montana. Zollinger can no longer drive them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get fired up regularly and driven around some. His son Richard, grandsons and great-grandsons make sure most of them remain in working condition and are displayed in front of his residence. “Every month or so we try and rotate them,” said Lance Zollinger, a grandson. “He likes to look at them and see them out front.” There are currently seven in front of the Zollinger home that borders Millville and Providence. The rest of his collection of 40 tractors are kept in a big shed behind his house. Lafonzo, who gets around in a motorized wheelchair these days, is not particular to any one make or model. There are John Deere, International, Allis-Chalmers, Farmall and a McCormick-Deering 1020 just like the first tractor he ever owned. The Zollingers have put rubber on the tires so it can be driven

Main many years ago. Caterpillars are also in the collection. He used to use them when he farmed in Dillon, Mont. He has a total of 10 D4s, D8s, D2s and D6s. “He has always had crawlers around, because he utilized them,” Lance said. How does one get started in collecting tractors? “I don’t know,” Lafonzo answered. “I just got one and then had to have another. ... Tractors just come natural.” Lafonzo hasn’t kept track of exactly how many he even owns. “I don’t know how I collected so many,” Lafonzo said. “I don’t even remember where they all come from. ... They just turned up from some place.” Singling out a favorite is not easy, but he reflected back on his first one, a 1020 International. “Grandpa has always collected ones that have a lot of sentimental meaning to him from his younger years or ones he always admired or
liked,” Lance said. And he isn’t done collecting. “A guy stopped by the other day and offered him another tractor that he needs to look at out in Paradise,” Richard said. “He’s always looking.” He has bought some just for parts, but most of the time he wants it to be able to work before purchasing it. “They all seem to have dead batteries,” Lance said. “I don’t know if that is our poor maintenance or just the way they are. “They are all different levels of quality. Like the John Deere 420, he bought from a guy in Hyrum. It was in good working condition, it just needed to be painted.” While tractors have a special place in Lafonzo’s heart, so do other nostalgic vehicles. He has 30 cars, ranging from Model Ts to Model As to Studebakers to Buicks and Cadillacs. Lafonzo even has a very rare track that is currently on its way back to Cache Valley from being refurbished. It is a 1915 Jeffery, and there are only three in existence in the world. He bought his from a man in Colorado years ago. “It’s pretty amazing,” Lance said. “It has an aluminum motor and an aluminum transmission. It’s fourwheel drive, four-wheel steer, fourwheel braking. They used them in
World War I as a carry-all. ... It’s going to be a beautiful truck and very unique.” The Zollingers hope to drive the Jeffery truck in a local parade soon, which is something Lafonzo enjoyed doing for years, especially his white 1917 Studebaker with its Yellowstone whistle, which has caused many a parade-watcher to cover their ears. “It’s more about the history than anything,” Lafonzo said. “I grew up in a Model T.” Some in his car collection are “one of a kind.” “He has always liked things that tweak his interest,” Richard said. “Like the Jeffery truck. He gets interested and buys it.” He paid $20,000 for a 1932 Model A at an IRS auction in Deer Lodge, Mont., years ago. “The Model A is worth money; the Model T is not worth anything,” Lafonzo quipped. Many of the vehicles hold special meaning to the Zollingers or have a story behind them. “This is the first old Model T we got in Montana,” Richard said. “We all about got killed on that one time. ... A rod dropped out and all of the sudden the car was going this way and were all sitting in the back and in a field.” “We have always tinkered around on the Model Ts,” Lance said.
“That’s just the thing we did — we rode all around the place in the Model Ts. “He has tried to duplicate a lot of the cars he remembers in his childhood growing up, like the last car his dad had. It was a 1934 Chevy.” Lafonzo once even traded two pigs for a truck from the “Spudnut guy.” He also remembers one of those rare times he had trouble driving between Cache Valley and his Montana farm. His truck stalled and couldn’t make it up a big hill near Preston. “That old ’47 Ford didn’t have enough power to pull your hat off,” Lafonzo said. He has bought tractors and cars from all over. Five John Deeres and a car came from Wellsville. A barn had collapsed on them and the Zollingers dug them out and purchased them. Another group of tractors came from Iowa. He bought one at a bid sale at Utah State University. “He has had some for a while, but about 10 years ago he started buying them in six-packs,” Lance said with a laugh. “He would call up and say he had another load of tractors coming and a semi would show up.” While the Zollingers enjoy working on the tractors and cars, they don’t do all the work. They have gotten help in restoring them, espe-

cially from Sam Weston, who lives in River Heights, and Bob Riggs in Nibley. Most of the tractors just need a charged battery and some fuel. Of course the ones that have a hand crank or flywheel take some muscle. They require more than the twist of a key. “They all run,” Richard said. “We don’t drive them all,” Lance said. “Some are easier than others. We go for the easy ones first. Grandpa likes to see them out riding around, so we try to get them going as much as we can.” Chances are if you have been to a parade in the south end of the valley, you have seen some of the Zollinger collection. “Tractors are more difficult because you have to haul them and they are slow to drive,” Lance said. “But we have taken them to parades before.” With a big family reunion coming up soon, some of the cars will be put to use. “We will be getting some of these out and driving them around,” Lance said. “Grandpa likes to see people having a good time and using these cars. ... Grandpa is really good about letting the kids run around and mess with the cars. “Some of these could be museum quality, but he wants to drive them and enjoy them. That gives him satisfaction.” Which is why he started collecting them in the first place.

Logan-born cellist/songwriter set to perform at Why Sound and Crumb, Price writes little songs about tragedies and sounds, heavy souls and thick colors. She also writes lonely cello songs that involve a little cellistic experimentation like acoustic distortion, multi-tracking, looping and sampling with improvisation. In 2004, Price received a master’s degree in cello performance from Carnegie Mellon University studying with Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra principle cellist Anne-Martindale Williams and PSO associate cellist David Premo. Price relocated to complete a one-year post-graduate program in cello performance at SUNY Purchase with cellist Julia Lichten of The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Since graduating she has performed and recorded for musicians and recording studios all over the East Coast and abroad. Price does constant live performances and collaborations with countless New York City musicians with whom she also records, traveling all over the
East Coast writing and arranging cello parts for pretty, slow songs and grungy, fast songs. As a collaborator and soloist, Price has performed on several national TV and radio broadcasts including NPR’s “Soundcheck” with John Schaefer. She has performed in cities across the country and globe including New York (Bowery Ballroom, Gramercy Theatre, Le Poisson Rouge, Rockwood Music Hall, Southpaw, Union Hall), Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Miami, Chicago, Egypt and throughout England, Germany and Romania. Price can be seen all around New York and the East Coast performing her solo work. She is also a member of the Brooklyn-based indie-folk trio Pearl and the Beard, who released their first full-length album, “God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson,” this spring. On June 1, 2009, she released her first solo studio-EP, “The Crux” and “The Bluestocking.”

‘Moonwalk’: The making of a memoir By The Associated Press
O
N THE MORNING after Michael Jackson died, literary agent Joy Harris began getting the e-mails: When, publishers wanted to know, would Jackson’s memoir “Moonwalk” be returned to print? “It did seem abrupt to me,” Harris said. “But when I thought about it, it didn’t surprise me, in the way that everything is so immediate these days.” Within days, Harris had forwarded the e-mails to Jackson’s attorneys and soon the real discussions began. “Moonwalk,” originally acquired by then-Doubleday editor Jackie Kennedy and published in 1988, will be reissued in October by Random House Inc. with a first printing of 100,000 copies and a new introduction from a Jackson friend who has not been identified. Jackson’s representatives wanted to act quickly. On July 23, executors of the singer’s estate filed papers in a Los Angeles court stating that book deals should be reached “as soon as possible” in order to capitalize on “the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson’s unexpected death” and ensure that “profits for the Estate will be maximized.” According to Harris, several U.S. publishers were interested in the memoir but — assuming the price was right — both Harris and the lawyers who had handled Jackson’s book wanted to stay with his original editor, Shaye Areheart. Her Harmony imprint at Random House will handle the release. (Kennedy died of cancer in 1994.) “She was professional with Michael and she was respectful,” Harris, who declined to offer financial details for the new edition, said of Areheart. “She had worked for Jackie a long time and she was comfort-
Michael Jackson, circa 2005
able around celebrity.” The book is also coming out in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. “Moonwalk” was a classic celebrity project. It was not written or even conceived by Jackson. The contents were kept secret right up to the moment of release; around the printing plant the book had the code name “Neil Armstrong.” It topped The New York Times hardcover nonfiction list but within a few years was forgotten and out of print. The idea began in the mid1980s, when “Thriller” was at the top of the charts and the singer at the height of his career. Jackie Kennedy, a celebrity at least as famous and even more secretive as Jackson, admired him, was fascinated by him and wanted him to tell his story. Kennedy and fellow editor Areheart met with Jackson at his home in Encino, Calif. Areheart remembered Jackson as “smart and funny and gracious,” without any symptoms of the tabloid target he would become over the following two decades. “He was just a lively, intouch guy,” she said. “And he did have his act together.” Other publishers were interested but Jackson was equally in awe of Kennedy and wanted
to publish with her. “They got along very well,” Areheart said. “She thought he was so sweet.” Much of the field work was done by Areheart. Over the next few years, she would fly out to California and meet with Jackson at his Encino home, often in a large study that had a fireplace, and ask questions that he would answer by speaking into a tape recorder. The manuscript was assembled, with Jackson’s input, by music writer Stephen Davis, whose other books include biographies of Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. The project took longer than Areheart had anticipated, not because Jackson was uncooperative, but because he was busy — touring, recording and otherwise being Michael Jackson. “His time was constantly not his own,” she said. “Moonwalk” was released in the spring of 1988. Reviewing the book in The New York
Times, music critic Ken Tucker called “Moonwalk” eccentric, contradictory and helplessly revealing. Jackson, he wrote, was “a master of deadpan banality,” slipping out “significant information between the lines of psychobabble.” Along with common statements about fame (“It hurts to be mobbed”) and the media (“What happened to truth? Did it go out of style?”), Jackson confided to being physically beaten by his father, to having twice had his nose changed by plastic surgery and to wearing just one glove because “two gloves seemed so ordinary.” The book was dedicated to Fred Astaire and included a brief note from Kennedy, who asked, “What can one say about Michael Jackson?” Doubleday printed 300,000 copies for release and eventually sold around 500,000, according to the current publisher, Harmony. The promotional budget was $150,000,
a lot of money for 1988, although not quite in range for the man who perfected the long-form music video. Jacqueline Deval, then the book’s publicist and now publisher of Hearst Books, said she had just one conversation with Jackson. She could not persuade him to give interviews, but he was very eager to discuss a possible promotional spot. “He had this fabulous idea for a TV commercial for the book,” she said. There would be music playing and a camera would show his feet, his steps moving to the beat. And then a major celebrity friend, such as Elizabeth Taylor, would say something about Michael Jackson. Then the camera would pan up to his knees, and there would be another celebrity talking about him. And so on, until we finally see his face. I think it would have been fabulous, but it was way beyond the budget of any book publisher.”
