FROM THE EDITOR Without a doubt, one of the more fun Cache Valley events I’ve had a chance to be around the last couple of years is the Man vs. Mud run at the American West Heritage Center. I was there nearly all day long two years ago for the inaugural event, writing a story and taking photos for a story in Cache Valley Magazine. I had such a good time watching others get disgusting (and happy about it) that last year I took the opportunity to run the mud gauntlet myself for a first-person story in this publication. While I’ll probably be out of town for this year’s Man vs. Mud run — I guess I
should mention here that former Cache Magazine editor Manette Newbold is getting married that day — there’s a better reason than ever for you to participate on Aug. 31. While founders David Knight and Mike Schaefer have always donated some of the proceeds from Man vs. Mud to a local charity, this year they are partnering directly with the Child & Family Support Center. A year ago the CFSC hosted a similar event on their own at the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, but this Labor Day weekend they’ll all join forces — along with the American West Heritage Center — to put on “Utah’s best mud run.” “This partnership is important in that the AWHC seeks to preserve Cache Valley’s rich heritage, while the CFSC strives to build a legacy of strength for our community’s future,” says Chris Schultz,
programming director at the AWHC. “It has been extremely rewarding for all three organizations to work together to create an amazing event.” The Child & Family Support Center will receive 100 percent of the proceeds from sponsorships and the Kids vs. Mud Run. This year’s kids’ course will feature a foam machine, mud pits, balancing acts and more. So, if you’re looking for a good excuse to get extremely muddy, the end of this month might just be the perfect opportunity to do something charitable and have a lot of good, not-so-clean fun along the way (one of these years it’s going to rain and things will get really crazy out there).

Enjoy a ‘mommy love story’
Cache Valley photographer illustrates new ‘Child of Mine’ By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
A “mommy love story” is how a Utah author describes her new book, which was illustrated by a Cache Valley photographer. The recently published “Child of Mine” is a collaboration between Sherry Hogg, a resident of Pleasant View, and Richard Watkins, owner of Lens Art Photography in Logan. Subtitled “The never ending promise of a mother’s unstoppable love,” “Child of Mine” tells the story The new book “Child of Mine” was written by Pleasant View resiof a mother and her son, dent Sherry Hogg (upper right) and illustrated by Logan-based and how her affection photographer Richard Watkins (right). continues to grow from the child’s birth into adultkins says. “Figuring out how little overwhelmed when the to mothers and organizhood. to visually capture somefirst printing of 5,000 books ers; moms who sign their “I really just wanted to thing as ethereal and eternal was left at her home.

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption
Pet: Inx From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Inx is glad he is a boy today. If he was a girl, his name would’ve been Heifer! So, he really lucked out. Instead of being named after livestock, he is named after the ink blotches in his fur. This stinkin’ cute kitten is playful and coming right out of his shell. He is also an unclaimed stray and just needs a home to give him some TLC. Come meet Inx — you’ll see just how adorable he really is. Call the Cache Humane Society at 792-3920.

‘Elysium’ is imaginative but falls short By Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer
Of all the movie villains we’ve met lately, few are stranger than Delacourt, Jodie Foster’s evil, white-blonde, power-suited and power-hungry defense official in “Elysium,” the much-awaited but ultimately somewhat disappointing new film from director Neill Blomkamp. From her command post on a ritzy space station high up above 22nd-century Earth, a demitasse of espresso at her side, Delacourt doles out orders in a foreign but unrecognizable accent. “Send them to deportation!” she barks, when “undocumented” ships breach her borders. “Get them off this habitat!” Blomkamp, whose

It’s not for nothing that Blomkamp, at the tender age of 33,
looking a lot like presentday Easthampton — is an enormous wheel, on the rim of which its wealthy residents, having left the teeming and polluted Earth, inhabit pristine white homes with bright green manicured lawns. Brilliant sunlight dapples the blue waters of their swimming pools. Classical music and clinking glasses echo in the background. For some reason, people seem to speak French. Most importantly, Elysium’s inhabitants are eternally healthy, because each home holds a “healing bay,” which looks like a tanning machine, except it cures all illness.
Down on Earth, things are different. Los Angeles in 2154 is grimy, gritty and poor, with minimal medical care. Children look longingly to the sky, dreaming of Elysium. In a flashback, Max, a young boy in an orphanage, promises a young girl named Frey that one day, they’ll go there together. Frey grows up to be a nurse; Max, a car thief. But Max — portrayed by an earnest, committed and perhaps overly grim Matt Damon — has reformed himself when, one day, at the hands of a heartless boss, he’s See SHORT on Page 12

What does a “Cars” spin-off which was originally meant for a direct path to DVD look like? “Planes.” Animated by DisneyToon Studios, the animation arm of Disney responsible for all those sequels to classic Disney films, took the helm here. The thinking was, every time we make a “Cars” movie the money rolls in. Let’s just spin-off a sequel about planes and make even more money. Then someone decided, “Hey, why just release it on home video? Put this thing in 3D, put it in the theaters, and we can make even larger amounts of money.” Sigh. “Planes” is exactly what you’d expect from a movie that was destined to be a straightto-DVD spin-off. It’s flat, uninspired and unfunny. What passes for humor in “Planes” is groan-inducing. Simply put, the thinking here is the thicker the accent, the funnier the character. Hey, it worked for Mater right? Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook) is tired of dusting crops day in and day out. He’s

‘2 Guns’ shoots its way to top of the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — The action-packed “2 Guns” is No. 1 at the weekend box office. The Universal film starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg pulled the trigger to capture the top spot with $27.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The picture is based on a graphic novel of the same name and features
Washington as a DEA agent and Wahlberg as a Naval Intelligence officer who must team up for an undercover operation involving drug traffickers and the CIA. Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, said “2 Guns” opened at the studio’s expectations and attributed the film’s success to Icelandic See TOP on Page 12

lacking is any sort of heart. It’s not as dead inside as “Cars 2” was, but it’s close. There’s little to no reason to care about anything that’s going on because the movie is simply going through the paces. It never takes time to get to know its characters. It’s only interested in showing one neato flying scene after another, hoping you don’t notice that there’s nothing going on between the lines. Yes, I admit, the movie critic in me is taking over here, but Pixar and Disney have shown that they’re capable of so much more. It’s evident that “Planes” was never meant to come close to the quality of some of their other films, so releasing it in theaters seems like a blatant money grab. Sure, it makes business sense, but that’s about the only sense it make. That said, the kids will likely enjoy its gravity-defying turns and queasy loop-deloops, while adults may find themselves snoozing.

After he returned from the stage, the man introduced himself as Jim Takane of North Logan, born and raised in Hawaii. “They call me Jiji. Old man. Eightythree this year,” Takane said. “JiJi means grandpa.” He didn’t know the woman he played onstage with before he met her at the festival. “You know, we got together here in a couple of minutes and said, ‘you play this, I’ll play that.’” Their duet wasn’t planned, but they both enjoyed it.
“I brought my old ukulele,” Takane said, motioning to the instrument on the picnic table behind him. “It’s a Martin. M-AR-T-I-N. It’s like the Stradivarius, you know? It’s about 70 years old.” Takane said he read about the Utah Ukulele Festival in the newspaper and couldn’t pass it up. He dusted off his uke and came to see who turned up for a Hawaiian-themed festival in Cache Valley. “Because, well, Hawaii’s my home,” he said, his voice trailing off. “Anyway, I love it. Anything Hawaiian, you know?” Takane started talking about the feeling of the festival — the inclusiveness, the relaxing atmosphere. He’d really like to see more events sharing the aloha spirit,
he said. His wife appeared at his side and tugged on his sleeve. As he was getting ready to leave, he said he’d like to see a new Hawaiian association in the valley, one that taught ukulele and hula. “It’d be nice to have somebody who could talk about Hawaii and the old days, and teach about culture,” he said. Takane, like many of the other elderly men at the Utah Ukulele Festival, was a veteran. A retired lieutenant colonel who fought in Korea and Vietnam. Another veteran, Lynn Toone, wore a baseball cap decorated with U.S. Navy pins to the festival. He first saw Hawaii in the See UKE on Page 13

It’s just about time for a Life 2.0 upgrade
USU hosts Green Cat exhibit University Libraries at Utah State University is drawing from its own collection for the next exhibition in the Merrill-Cazier Library atrium. The exhibit features a number of broadsides from the Green Cat Press collection. The exhibit can be seen now through Sept. 8. The Green Cat Press collection of broadsides was purchased in 2010 in honor of Lucia Rhodes, a longtime supporter of USU’s University Libraries and former director of the university’s phonathon fundraiser. The exhibit presents a partial selection of the works. Green Cat Press is a small, private press in Salt Lake City that produces broadsides and hand-bound books. The artistic combination of imagery and text are designed and handprinted by the press, working with authors
and artists. The press was created nearly 30 years ago by Susan Makov and Patrick Eddington. According to exhibit notes, the name, Green Cat Press, reflects a connection to Irish roots and a “fondness for cats.” “Initially, poems were chosen for their cat-related themes,” the notes say. “The press evolved from designing pieces around
selected works into collaborating with many writers and artists who created original poems or drawings specifically for the press.” The library exhibit includes a description of a broadsheet. “A broadside is a single sheet of paper printed on one side, usually including both text and illustration,” exhibit notes state.

knows that undo is the most powerful tool in the box. An undo button, like love, would mean never having to say you’re sorry. Regret would never haunt you again and we would not need a morning-after pill. Mental cut and paste: This would be perfect for people who are constantly telling the same story over and over again. I wish I could stop them and just have them cut and paste it to everyone’s brain in the room. Delete: As the cyber wars have shown us, there is really no way to completely delete anything, but maybe on a molecular level we could find a way
to really, really forget the things that keep us up at night. Defragment: Science is inconclusive on whether you can actually use up all your available brain memory, but I sure would like to find a way to make it less cluttered and more quickly accessible. Backup: I suffer not so much from forgetting things but the fear of forgetting things. I would also sleep better if I could just back up my brain’s contents on a regular basis. This would also free me of the fear of killing all those brain cells from activities such as drinking and running in the heat.
Virus protection: We really need this one since we are running out of drugs that can actually kill viruses once we have them. Since computer viruses are actually mimicking organic viruses, this would seem to be a logical upgrade. We need some sort of biological firewall or warning system to keep them out in the first place. What about something akin to spam blocker? Though the warning would probably be going off constantly. ——— Dennis Hinkamp 2.0 is still beta and as unstable as always.
Books New book focuses on life of Mathew Brady ‘Portraits of a Nation’ tells the story of Civil War photographer By Douglass K. Daniel Associated Press
Civil War photographer Mathew Brady largely taught himself the finer points of the two pursuits that have linked his name to history: taking pictures and self-promotion. The son of Irish immigrant farmers had a talent for cajoling presidents, generals and business leaders to sit before his camera. Other than his birth around 1823 in Warren County, N.Y., little is recorded about Brady’s early life, a challenge for biographer Robert Wilson. Yet readers of “Mathew Brady: Portraits of a Nation” probably benefit from this dearth of personal information. Wilson moves quickly to what matters most — Brady’s role in how we see America in the midto late 19th century. Timing was on Brady’s side when, as a teenager, he left the countryside for the big city around 1840. The early photographic process called daguerreotype, invented in Paris, arrived in New York just ahead of him. He may have taken lessons in the technique while supporting himself as a clerk at a fabric store. In 1844, Brady opened a photographic studio that produced portraits, and after five years of success, he started a studio in Washington. Wilson makes a compelling
case that Brady eventually rose above a sea of artistic entrepreneurs offering photographic portraits because he learned, and often advanced, the latest techniques. As important, he had a pleasing manner that put subjects at ease during the time-consuming process of getting a picture taken. Brady also understood how publicity worked back then. The Hall of Fame in his Broadway studio featured a gallery of celebrities — a subtle pitch for others to pay a few dollars for portraits of their own. Few would not want to sit for the studio that photographed war heroes like Gen. Winfield Scott, naturalist and painter John James Audubon and the elderly former first lady Dolley Madison. In 1849, President James K. Polk allowed Brady to take his photograph in the White House, as did his successor, Zachary Taylor, a sign of Brady’s growing

ated a strong demand for photographs of soldiers in studio settings and in encampments. The custom of the time was for the studio’s owner to take the credit, not those working in the studio or in the field. While Brady shared credit with his photographers some of the time and traveled to battlefields such as Gettysburg, his name is associated with many photographs he didn’t take. reputation. Brady’s experience at A decade later, when the Bull Run — he lost his nation seemed destined equipment in the chato fracture over slavery, otic retreat that marked Brady was, as Wilson puts the North’s first major it, at the “height of his battle — may have fame as a photographer cooled his eagerness to of celebrities.” His 1860 ask those working for photograph of a beardhim to photograph close less Abraham Lincoln to actual fighting.

Brady’s role in promoting wartime images through his studios and the print media was crucial to their impact even if he wasn’t the man behind the camera. With Wilson’s keen
analysis of Brady’s life and times and the images that defined them, “Mathew Brady: Portraits of a Nation” brings into sharp focus a fascinating footnote to American history.

A summer vacation charade in ‘The Millers’
Aniston, Sudeikis come together as a fake family By Jake Coyle Both are worthy endeavAP Entertainment Writer ors, but everything in
“We’re the Millers” is an identity comedy with identity issues. Jason Sudeikis plays a pot dealer who, as a disguise for smuggling a huge shipment of weed, forms a fake family to drive an RV across the Mexico border. He gathers local stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), surly homeless teenager Casey (Emma Roberts) and his young, naive neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter). The whole concept has two motives: to lampoon the idea of the traditional all-American family, and as an excuse to get Aniston to take off her clothes.
Short
“We’re the Millers” feels forced — a hodgepodge of comedic rhythms made to lurch from one crude gag to another. Despite obvious comedic talents, Sudeikis and Aniston have each had difficulty finding their place in the movies, and neither really fit their parts: small-time Denver pot dealer (dispatched for the pick-up by Ed Helms’ polite but ruthless drug lord) and bitter stripper with a heart of gold, respectively. The concealed identity shtick would have been more fruitful if the characters’ personalities weren’t just as thin as their charade. But with such stereotype underpin-

There, despite the always-smart and crafted action scenes, the movie lets us down a bit with a reliance on action-hero formula and some pretty lame dialogue. As for Foster, what could have been an interesting character never really gels into anything but an oddity. But Blomkamp is talented enough that it doesn’t matter too much. If “Elysium” doesn’t nearly live up to “District 9,” it shows enough panache to leave us waiting enthusiastically for his next effort. ———

To get to Elysium and save his life, Max makes a deal with an underground revolutionary (Wagner Moura) who runs a fleet of illegal shuttles. All Max needs to do is kidnap the evil billionaire who runs the factory (a creepy William Fichtner) and, oh yes, export data from his brain. He gets the data, but up in the sky, Delacourt, desperate for the information now in Max’s brain, has activated an agent on the ground. Suddenly Max is being hunted by the vicious Kruger, a character so over-the-top, he takes over the film.

not the gleaming picture of family life they might seem, they’re not even a real family. This naturally opens up a realm of jokes along the lines of Kenny, in a kissing lesson, smooching his supposed mother and sister. Every pit stop is a chance for gratuity. There’s a camp out with swingers (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and a run-in with pursuing drug dealers that inanely becomes Aniston’s strip tease. As she did in “Horrible Bosses” (which also co-starred Sudeikis) the actress trades on the thrill of her sexuality, which wouldn’t be necessary if a good romantic comedy script captured her girlnext-door snark. But it’s starting to look unlikely she’ll ever find another “The Good Girl” — or is really seeking it. As a diversion, one
“The Smurfs 2” launched in the No. 3 position with $18.2 million. While Sony’s kid-friendly computer-generated sequel based on the blue-hued cartoon franchise debuted below expectations in North America, “Smurfs 2” earned a bright $52.5 million in 43 international markets. “It is one of those films that seems to resonate on every continent,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution. “We have about 36 big territories to go, including China. They love the blue ones.” The Warner Bros. haunted house tale “The Conjuring” crossed the $100 million mark at No. 4 domestically after exorcising $13.7 million in its third weekend.

The former “Saturday Night Live” player has struggled to transition to leading man roles, though he showed promise in the little seen “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.” But he’s straining here to keep the ship righted. When the end-credit bloopers roll, Sudeikis and Aniston, free of the contrived plot, look like they’re finally having fun. ———

Other smaller films continued to perform solidly at the box office, including Sundance winner “Fruitvale Station” with $2.7 million in 1,086 theaters and director Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” with $2 million in 50 theaters. “Summer is not just about blockbusters,” said Paul Dergarabedian of box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “It’s also about Woody Allen. It’s about specialized films that challenge the audience — or are just different from the traditional, cookie-cutter, summer-style movie.”

A man in his church group aboard the carrier had a friend in Hawaii, and a handful of the servicemen spent three days ashore. “We went to this guy’s house, and just slept on the floor all over the place,” Toone said. “But they treated us just like family. It was an awesome experience.” Toone described his first stay in Hawaii — how he ate ripe bananas and coconuts from his friend’s tree, and how the wet sand didn’t stick the way California sand does. He said Hawaii has a unique feeling, and that’s what drew him to the Ukulele Fest. “You come down here and the feel-

He wants to share the laid-back fun ukulele players have with a younger generation. “Hopefully, it’s going to catch on,” Akina said. “That would be nice. Then I could take a break and listen to them play, instead of trying to listen to myself play.” Akina summed up the spirit of the festival: “When you get other people with ukuleles together, it’s much more fun then,” he said. “You laugh, you sing, you play and you’re happy.” It’s that aloha spirit Akina and others hope to share with their Cache Valley neighbors at the Utah Ukulele Festival.
