Brad Rasmussen plays the role of Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet: A Musical Comedy” at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville. Though this version of the play is Western-themed, touches of Shakespearean grandiloquence still show through; throughout the show, the characters compare love to a variety of Western-themed objects and ideas.

T SEEMS LIKE EVERYWHERE
I have gone this week I hear the same things: “I can’t believe summer’s over already!” “I can’t believe school starts in just over a week!” “High school soccer already?! Where the heck did my summer go?!” And it feels especially true this year. I know it always seems to go too fast, but this year just flew by. I’ve only been camping once, I’ve only ridden my bike a few times, it seems I just barely got my patio set up (in fact, it took us until just a week ago to put away the tarp that covered the outdoor furniture all winter) ... I could go on and on about all the things I’ve missed out on this summer. Is it because it was so chilly and rainy so late into the year? Or does it always go this fast and I just forget about it until the next year goes too fast? Or is it because I’ve

kept myself so busy with work and outside projects that I haven’t had time to relax? I haven’t even managed a good vacation yet! All of my teacher friends are either already back at school or have to get back next week, then USU starts up classes a week from Monday. Let me say that again: A week from Monday! I also have to point out my Top 3 outdoor eating spots: The Deck, Café Sabor and Elements. They’re all perfect in their unique ways — The Deck offers grill-cooked burgers and their famous “Big Dogs”; Café Sabor offers up delicious Mexican food and margaritas on an awesome patio in a historical part of Logan; and Elements offers extra-fine dining on a beautiful patio next to the Logan River. This last patio is my favorite — you’re right next to the water, the trees offer scrumptious shade and it’s easy to forget you’re sitting about 100 yards from Main Street. So try it out! Have a great weekend, everyone! — Jamie Baer Nielson Cache Magazine editor

This dog is available for adoption! Pet: Vim From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: “Vim is a stray found in Lewiston. He is a black lab a little over 1 year old. Vim is VERY interested in other dogs and would love to play and interact. He’s very anxious for treats and is learning how to take them nicely. His leash training is coming along great. ... Currently he’s a little skittish around loud noises and sudden movements, but with love, training and attention he would make a good buddy.” To meet Vim, visit the shelter at 2370 W. 200 North in Logan or call 792-3920. Vim’s ID number is F2009134. Send your favorite picture of your pet, along with your name and a couple paragraphs detailing why your pet’s so darn lovable, to Cache Magazine, 75 W. 300 N., Logan, UT 84321, or e-mail it all to jbaer@hjnews.com.

Two events to celebrate the wonders of the sky What: Cache Valley Stargazers meeting Where: USU, Old Main, Room 115
T
he Cache Valley Stargazers will host their monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, in Room 115 of Old Main Hall at USU. Emily Jones will speak on “Archaeoastronomy.” Everyone, from beginners to experts, is invited. For more information, visit www.cachestargazers.org or e-mail cache.stargazers@gmail.com. This year the world is celebrating the International Year of Astronomy commemorating the 400th anniversary of the invention of the astronomical telescope by Galileo Galilei. The Cache Valley Stargazers are a new astronomy club that provides a venue for people interested in astronomy and the night sky to connect with other people with
similar interests. Anyone with an interest in astronomy or a desire to learn more about the constellations and night sky is welcome to join. The club’s goal is to provide a high-quality astronomical experience for everyone, regardless of age or astronomical expertise. Everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned deep-sky observers is encouraged to join. The monthly club meetings feature regularly scheduled events ranging from talks covering the latest news in astrophysics to telescope clinics that diagnose troubles you’re having with that scope in your closet to discussions about the best way to find and see the greatest splendors of the night sky from your own backyard.
What: Star Party Where: Heritage Center
T
he American West Heritage Center will host a Star Party from 7 p.m. to midnight Friday, Aug. 14. Admission starts at $5. The Heritage Center’s relative isolation makes for some good stargazing. Other special activities are planned for the event, too, including a Glow-in-the-Dark Tea Party with treats, games and other activities; the StarLab planetarium featuring hands-on presentations of American Indian stories about constellations; wagon and pony rides; a
starry navigation treasure hunt; a stained-glass star craft; star stories; starry
music jam (bring an instrument to play); and more. Experts will also be on
hand to help partygoers identify the various constellations and their stories. When the Earth in its orbit passes through the tail of a comet, meteor showers occur as tiny specks of dust enter and burn in the atmosphere. The Perseid show is often among the finest showers in terms of brightness and frequency. On a good night, sky watchers may see one or two shooting stars per minute. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own telescopes, binoculars and blankets. Participants who bring their own telescopes to share get

EW PAINTINGS BY Royden Card will be on display Aug. 28 through Sept. 23 at Caffe Ibis, 52 Federal Ave. A reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28. Card’s “Vertical Landscape Slices” paintings fall somewhere between German expressionist painter Alex Jawlensky’s injunction that art should be “a great shock” and Henri Mattisse’s counsel that a painting should be analogous to a “great comfortable armchair in which a man could settle into and enjoy after a day’s labor.” Card’s paintings are relatively small — 12 to 24 inches tall and 2½ to 4 inches wide — and do tend to gently “shock” the viewer with their intense coloration and nearly abstract structure. They are fragments (slices) of landscapes, not panorama or a vignette. They arrest one’s attention to decode within the painting the bush or grass, the sky, the cliff or the piece of mountain that appears within seemingly abstract slices.
americashow.com or by calling the Caine School of the Arts Box Office at 797-8022. This elegant evening of entertainment combines dinner, dancing and a Broadwaystyle show. A live 17-piece orchestra accompanies the show, and it’s all to celebrate the spirit of America. The 2009 show is billed as the “premier big-band entertainment package in the Intermountain West” and features nearly a dozen velvet-voiced singers with the distinguished Larry Smith
Orchestra and the acclaimed Rockettes-style dancers. This year’s show will present the “best of the best” from the past decade of shows including audience favorites “In the Mood,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” “Elmer’s Tune,” “Razzle Dazzle,” “Embracable You” and many other tunes from Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and other big-band greats. As always, there will be a tribute to veterans, current military, firefighters and law enforcement.

Film New this week “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard” Rated R ★ Enduring the soul-sucking process of buying a used car is bad enough. Watching a movie about soulless used-car salesmen is even worse — especially when it’s a comedy that strains desperately for raunchy, politically incorrect laughs. In theory, the pieces were there for something more inspired. “Chappelle’s Show” co-creator Neal Brennan directs for the first time (from a script by Andy Stock and Rick Stempson) and the large ensemble cast features Jeremy Piven, David Koechner, Ving Rhames, Ed Helms, Tony Hale and Ken Jeong. A lot of improv supposedly went on, as well, as you might expect in a movie from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez Productions. After all, these are the people behind “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights.” But this time, except for a couple of amusing lines here and there, the results just feel flat and generally unpleasant. Every character is singularly unlikable, but beyond that, they’re drawn so one-dimensionally that they’re not even interesting. Piven, as hotshot used-car salesman Don “The Goods” Ready, is essentially doing a variation on his cocky, fast-talking Ari Gold character from “Entourage” — which is pretty much all we’ve seen him do for years now. Don is the leader of a brash crew of mercenaries (played by Koechner,
Rhames and Kathryn Hahn) who are hired to travel from town to town, moving cars off flailing lots. Their latest stop is Temecula in Southern California, where they have to help sell 141 cars over the three-day July 4 weekend. R for sexual content, nudity, pervasive language and some drug material. 90 min. “500 Days of Summer” Rated PG-13 ★★★ Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy tries to win girl back: It’s a tale you’ve heard a million times before. But it’s told here in such a relatable, inventive way, it almost feels like the first time. It is the first time for director Marc Webb, who puts his music video and commercial background to good use with stylish tactics that are lively — a cheeky dance sequence, perfect song choices, a clever use of split screen — but never feel gratuitous. And the script from Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber keeps things moving by jumping around in time between Day 500, Day 1 and everywhere in between; the structure also creates a feeling of curiosity throughout, because we know the relationship is doomed, we just don’t know how it falls apart. We see that through the lovelorn eyes of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Tom Hansen, a would-be architect toiling away at a greeting card company. He thinks he’s found the perfect girl in Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), his boss’ beautiful new assistant who’s just arrived in Los Angeles. “500 Days of Summer” allows Tom to regale us
with memories of this life-altering romance — and because they’re his memories, told entirely from his perspective, they’re more than a little romanticized in both the highs and lows. But that’s part of the film’s charm: the spoton observation that everything seems magnified and it matters more when it’s happening to us. PG-13 for sexual material and language. 96 min. “District 9” Rated R ★★★1⁄2 The mysterious signs have been out there for weeks, months even: On billboards, benches and bus stops featuring crude cartoon alien drawings, they’ve warned us of non-humans, they’ve urged us to remain separate. They’re ads for the enormously buzzed-about “District 9,” and thankfully, given their ubiquity, all the hype is justified. This is one intense, intelligent, well-crafted action movie — one that dazzles the eye with seamless special effects but also makes you think without preaching. Like the excellent “Moon” from earlier this summer, “District 9” has the aesthetic trappings of science fiction but it’s really more of a character drama, an examination of how a man responds when he’s forced to confront his identity. Aliens who arrived in their spaceship more than 20 years ago have now been quarantined in cramped and dangerous slums; the nerdy bureaucrat charged with moving them to new quarters (the tremendous Sharlto Copley) is transformed in the process.

is that this visceral yet philosophically sophisticated film is the first feature from commercial and music-video director Neill Blomkamp, who co-wrote the script with Terri Tatchell. (Peter Jackson is the big name attached to this refreshingly starfree project — he’s one of the producers.) Blomkamp set “District 9” in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was born and raised, so it’s easy to assume his themes of racial division are a metaphor for apartheid. You could interpret it that way, but its quick bursts of violence and urban warfare also feel like a statement on Iraq. R for bloody violence and pervasive language. 113 min. “BandSlam” Rated PG (80%) A review for “BandSlam” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www. RottenTomatoes.com: “Disney Channel superstars Van-
essa Anne Hudgens and Alyson Michalka join Gaelan Connell, Scott Porter and Lisa Kudrow in the music-driven comedy ‘BandSlam.’ When gifted singersongwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands. Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sa5m (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it’s time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?” PG for some thematic elements and mild language. 111 min. — All reviews by The Associated Press

S
O LET’S TRY TO get this straight, here. In “The Time Traveler’s Wife,� Eric Bana plays a guy named Henry who jumps around the past, present and future, only he can’t control where or when he goes. Supposedly, he also can’t control how he gets back where he came from, except for when he tries certain tricks to place himself in a state of mind to time travel. Even then there’s no way to guarantee which version of Henry will show up: the same one who left or a younger or older version of himself. Still, he manages to hold down a job at a Chicago library and maintain an apartment, makeshift as it is. The only constant seems to be that when he shows up at his destination, he’s always naked. (Somehow, Henry has found time between all his travels to hit the gym.) Hunky as he is, he’d be a frustrating guy to fall in love with, or even date. Women like stability, you know. But Rachel McAdams’ character, Clare, must be made of stronger stuff than the rest of us, because not only does she tolerate Henry’s pesky inconsistency, she believes he’s her destiny, and that he has been since the first time she saw him as a precocious 6-year-old girl (played by Brooklynn Proulx). The core of “The Time Traveler’s Wife� is their struggle to stay together. Director Robert Schwentke’s film, based on the Audrey Niffenegger best-seller, breezes through their relationship, including the fact that Clare
Aisle Seat
gimmick supersedes any sort of substance, depth or character development. Bana and McAdams try their best to win us over to this complicated conceit with enormously earnest performances. McAdams shows some of the same dramatic capabilities that helped make her a star in “The Notebook.� As for Bana, this is a rare and welcome opportunity to see him play the romantic lead, for which his dark good looks and strong presence would seem to make him a natural. And the ever-reliable character actor Stephen Tobolowsky grounds things somewhat as the geneticist who tries to help Henry and Clare forge some sort of normal life. Still, we’re left wondering afterward, how do these people and Henry’s meet-cute is more like a meet-creepy. He’s a thirtysomething man who shows up wearing no clothes in the meadow behind her parents’ house, asks to borrow her picnic blanket and just starts talking to her. This doesn’t freak her out at all — where is the stranger-danger lesson, people? — presumably because she knows, even at this tender age, that she is cosmically meant to be with him. Maybe it’s more plausible on the written page — or maybe

feel about this extraordinary situation in which they’ve found themselves? In theory, indeterminate time traveling would wreak havoc with even the most mundane daily activities: grocery shopping, sitting at a red light, parent-teacher conferences. Speaking of which, Henry and Clare eventually have a daughter to whom they pass on the time-travel gene, but it doesn’t seem to bother the kid, either. Really? You’re 5 years old, playing hopscotch with your buddies during recess, and poof! You disappear. Wouldn’t that be slightly disturbing? “The Time Traveler’s Wife� doesn’t seem interested in crawling inside her head, either. It’s too busy trying to tug at our hearts. “The Time Traveler’s Wife,� a New Line Cinema release, is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, brief disturbing images, nudity and sexuality.

‘Time Traveler’s Wife’ skips past substance
,
he scene is almost universally known: A young woman, stricken by forbidden love, cries out into the night for her beloved. “Oh Romeo, Romeo, where the heck are you Romeo?!” It’s Shakespeare. Sort of. It’s the American West Heritage Center’s production of Wild West Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet. It’s a melodrama that includes slow-motion fight scenes, comedy, jaunty musical numbers — accompanied on a tinny-sounding piano you could imagine hearing in an old saloon — and a striking blend of Shakespearean English and Western drawl. But the show’s writer and producer, David Sidwell, says there’s more to the show than just entertainment: There’s
also a bit of history tied up in it. “There’s a lot of historical basis for it, though we’re doing it in spirit more than the details,” said the show’s director, Kent Hadfield. Pioneers and ranchers in the Old West were theater addicts and Shakespeare was their drug of choice, Sidwell told the audience before the show began. In an age before TV, movies, iPods or even radio, people were entertained by the theater. Pioneers in wagons often had only two books with them: The Bible and a collection of the works of Shakespeare, Sidwell said. In a new settlement, the playhouse was often one of the first buildings erected, Sidwell explained. People even put on performances in their own parlors, complete with cur-

tains and stages. Books were published to aid inexperienced every-man actors by methodically laying out the “proper” methods of conveying emotions. The result was melodrama, marked by sweeping gestures, exaggerated expressions and extravagant voices. With Sidwell’s brief history lesson as backdrop, what may have seemed over-acting in the Heritage Center’s production becomes a deliberate device to demonstrate history. What looks like a canned death scene becomes a throwback to an age when audiences were less discriminating and wanted their drama to be dramatic.

Though this version of the play is Western-themed, touches of Shakespearean grandiloquence still show through. Throughout the show, the char-

Consider me of the following lines from e play and decide for yourself: “He saw her through the winow, he loved her pretty face, e loved the way his holster lt hung around his waist.” “Her beauty is like the sunset, d I want to gallop on into it.” “Venus, goddess of love, join for a drink in the saloon.” “”If we’re calling something rose, it’s still going to smell etty darn sweet.”

A conflict between quality, price of wine
I
AM CONTINUOUSLY puzzled by the quality of a wine in relationship to the price. A respectable bottle of California zinfandel, chardonnay or sauvignon blanc can be purchased for between $10 and $20; an excellent bottle of wine can be purchased for the same price range from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Spain. Excellent wines from France and Italy typically cost more. Those foreign wines must be shipped over long distances. Vine Connections in San Francisco is the importer of many wines from Argentina, including Susana Balbo. Most imported wine comes by ship and the cost must be small per bottle (less than 5 cents) for a container holding 1,200 cases of wine. In all of the countries listed, the ship would have to go through the tropics to reach a West Coast port. I know the importer Kermit Lynch uses refrigerated containers for his wines from France that go through the Panama Canal. The other aspect is the carbon footprint of shipping wine. Again, shipping by boat has the lowest carbon footprint. Shipping costs from the West Coast to Salt Lake City are the same for all wines, regardless of origin. That is not true for the East Coast since it is assumed
California wines are shipped over land and foreign wines arrive by ship. There is some dispute about the environmental impact, but it seems to me that California wines would have the biggest carbon footprint for shipping to the East Coast as compared to imported wines. Since transportation is not a factor in price differences, unless the wine is shipped from the east coast to here, foreign wineries are making a better wine at a lower price. There are many wines at reduced prices this month at Utah state liquor stores. At the beginning of the month there were some nice wines at half price for closeout. I picked up a few, but when I went back the next day they were mostly gone. Most of the prices are reduced by $2 to $3, and the prices will hold through August. One that caught my eye is the 2007 Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Vintners Reserve at a reduced price of $13.99. This wine is barrel fermented and aged for five months in French oak with flavors of melon and honeysuckle. Rated 90 by Wine Advocate, this is a great buy. The 2007 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay at $13.99 is also barrel fermented and aged in oak for

nine months. This wine is rated 89, and has typical chardonnay flavors of pear and melon. The Kendall-Jackson is from California and the Columbia Crest is from Washington State. Most of the Crios de Susana Balbo wines from Argentina were sold out when I was in the local store, but the 2007 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes at $14.99 still remains. I highly recommend this as a different taste in a white wine. It is also rated 90 by the Wine Advocate. Another favorite of

mine still in stock is the 2007 Leasingham Magnus Riesling at $11.99 from Australia. This is a great dry Riesling with flavors of citrus and spice, and rated 91. We are toward the end of 2006 vintage shiraz wines from Australia. I picked up the 2006 Jim Barry on closeout and the 2006 Mitolo Jester Shiraz at $19.99. Both of these wines are rated 91 by Robert Parker. Apparently the 2007 vintage of these shiraz wines is just as good. I plan to buy the 2007
Tait Ball Buster at $16.99 since it is rated at 91 like the 2006 vintage. The Ball Buster is a blend of 72 percent shiraz, 17 percent cabernet sauvignon and 11 percent merlot. It is aged in oak for 12 months and has flavors of spice and blueberries. Currently the only wellrated malbec at a good price is the 2007 La Posta Angel Paulacci Malbec at $16.99. I quite liked the 2006 vintage, and this one is supposed to be just as good with flavors of mocha and blackberries. Finally, a nice red drinking wine is the 2006 Banfi Centime at $11.99 from Tuscany. This wine is a blend of 60 percent sangiovese, 20 percent cabernet sauvignon and 20 percent merlot and has a fresh fruity flavor. This is a great buy and rated at 89 by the Wine Spectator.

Juni Fisher coming to Allinger Theatre
J
UNI FISHER WILL perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28, at the Allinger Community Theatre in Montpelier, Idaho. Tickets are $11; doors open at 7 p.m. Fisher grew up in the San Joaquin Valley of California. A horse-crazy kid, she grew up in a farming family and between school and singing performances with her two sisters, she found a way to have horses; 4-H and FFA honors followed her throughout her school years. She recorded her first Western release, “Tumbleweed Letters,” in late 1999 and her second album, “Slideshow Romance,” was released in the summer of 2004. “Cowgirlography” (2006) features the 2007 WMA Song of the Year winner — a duet with San Joaquin’s Joe Hannah — and received a
WMA Top Five nomination for Album of the Year. Alone with her guitar she weaves story and song in seamless, unforgettable lyrics and melodies. For more information, call 208-8473800 Tickets can also be purchased at www.oregontrailcenter.org.

Tom Kimmel coming to Crumb Brothers Edith Bowen Laboratory School
T
HE BRIDGER FOLK Music Society will present an evening with award-winning songwriter Tom Kimmel at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, 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. Tom Kimmel is one of those unique singer-songwriters whose heartfelt artistry with words and music is both genre-crossing and timeless. Since 1980, when his songs were recorded by Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman (of Byrds fame) and Levon Helm (of The Band), dozens of his compositions have been covered by a host of major artists including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Shawn Colvin, Waylon Jennings, the Stray Cats, Randy Travis and the Spinners. Kimmel’s unique ability to write songs that connect stems from his lifelong career as a touring performer. Once an eclectic rock and roller,
USU Campus
Kimmel found his voice as a singersongwriter while opening Nanci Griffith’s 1991-92 world tour. A New Folk winner at the Kerrville Folk Festival in ’93, he began performing as a solo act, stressing a lean, acoustic-centered approach to his music and bringing a poignant and humorous spirit to his poetry and storytelling.
