FROM THE EDITOR Early this year, Logan native Libbie Linton joined forces with Salt Lake musician Spencer Harrison to form the folk-pop duo Mideau. Thanks to help from their Kickstarter page, Mideau was able to come up with enough funds to record their first album, which will be released in September. But along the way, Linton and Harrison became familiar with the challenges facing another Utah duo — Kassi and Tommy Van Vliet. Married in December 2011, Kassi was diagnosed
with brain cancer just a year later — not long after she found out she was pregnant. Due to Kassi’s pregnancy, much of the cancer treatment had to be postponed until little Avery Jo was born in June. Kassi is now undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, but the Van Vliets’ medical bills are piling up and Mideau wants to help. “A good friend of ours relayed their situation to us, and our hearts just go out to these two,” Linton says. “It’s such a touch thing to go through, and to add financial stress on top of it seems overwhelming.” Mideau’s song “There, There” is currently available on the band’s website. The song can be downloaded for as little as $1
or “name-your-own price,” an option the band hopes many people will select inasmuch as Linton and Harrison are donating all of the proceeds from “There, There” to help with the Van Vliets with their medical costs. “We have been really fortunate with the help that our fans gave us through a fundraiser to record our album earlier this year, and we feel compelled to give back when we can,” Linton explains. “We want to help this family.” For more information and/or to download “There, There,” visit mideau.bandcamp.com.

Author takes aim at first book
‘Samaritan’s Pistol’ set to be released on Aug. 24 By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
Eric Bishop says if you asked him when he was in elementary school what he wanted to do when he got older, he would have quickly replied, “I want to write books.” Now a 46-year-old financial planner and father of four, Bishop is finally realizing that childhood dream. The first book by the rookie author, “The Samaritan’s Pistol,” will be released on Aug. 24, by Jolly Fish Press in Orem. Touted as a “modernday Western thriller,” the 340-page novel tells the story of a pack guide who inadvertently gets caught up in a gun battle with Las Vegas mobsters while in the mountains of Western Wyoming. “’Samaritan’s Pistol’ is a fresh, gritty contemporary Western,” a press release from Jolly Fish Press declares. “Bishop’s powerful prose is reflected by his rugged characters, and yet, Bishop’s characters, just like his writing, possess an appealing soft side. With a fast-paced plot full of mobsters and cowboys, this novel will attract both lovers of Western and quality, action-packed fiction.”

Cache Valley author Eric Bishop will release his first book, “The Samaritan’s Pistol,” next week.
A native of Millville who now lives across the Blacksmith Fork River in Nibley with his wife Janilee, three of this daughters, and several horses and dogs, Bishop says he never divulges exactly where the protagonist, Jim, is operating when he encounters the mafia. “While I was writing it, I was picturing the Wind Rivers,” says Bishop, who normally makes a couple of horsepacking trips into Wyoming’s Wind River Range each summer. “But
I wanted to be rather nondescript; I just call it Western Wyoming. I mention Jackson Hole, Soda Springs and Afton, so I kind of have
in mind Star Valley and the Grey’s River Range or somewhere around Jackson.” Bishop says he came up with the basic story for “The Samaritan’s Pistol” while heading back to a trailhead the Wind Rivers. He had recently read a newspaper story about a gang in Seattle that had taken someone into the Sawtooth Mountains to kill him, so he started to piece together a plot for his first book. A graduate of Mountain Crest High School and Utah State University, Bishop says the time for him to actually sit down and start to write finally came when he was about 40 years old. “I think a couple of things happened about then,” he explained. “My kids got old enough — we were out of that baby and diaper stage — and my financial planning business was doing well enough that I didn’t have to go out and hustle new stuff. It was more maintaining client relationships. “So, everything just kind of worked out that at about age 40, I said ‘I’m going to do this,’ and I sat down, started with a premise and just went. About two-and-ahalf months later, I had ‘The Samaritan’s Pistol.’” Bishop admits that’s first manuscript was very raw, and even though friends and relatives raved about it, “I knew it wasn’t good.” Someone eventually suggested that Bishop contact the local chapter of the League of Utah Writers, and after attending his first meeting, “I was just amazed at the talent we have here in Logan.” See AIM on Page 13

all mixed up It’s time to see ‘The Wizard’
Heritage Theatre brings Oz to the stage starting Aug. 23 There’s no place like Heritage Theatre to be transported to the wondrous discoveries of the Emerald City and the characters of Oz. “The Wizard of Oz” will be performed on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays from Aug. 23 through Sept. 14, at the Heritage Theatre at 2505 S. U.S. Hwy. 89 in Perry. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. with matinees at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, and Saturday, Sept. 7. Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and children. For reservations, call (435) 723-8392 daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. except Tuesdays and Sundays, or visit the Heritage Theatre website at www. heritagetheatreutah.com. Come along for the adventure as Dorothy (Katelynn Perkins) and her little dog Toto are transported over the rainbow into the magical land of Oz. Along the way they encounter the Cowardly Lion (Ryan Erwin), the Tin Man (Kasey Cox) and the Scarecrow (Kyle Parkinson) on the Yellow Brick Road as
they search for the great and powerful Wizard. Based on the 1930 MGM movie and directed by JuDean Parkinson, the magic of this musical is sure to cast its spell on the entire family with such classic songs as “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,” “If I Only Had a Brain” and “We’re Off to See the Wizard.” “The Wizard of Oz” is well known for its wonderful music, but until now it has not been widely known as a dance show. The production is about to turn some heads with an amazing cast of dancers. You will encounter both wickedness and wonder in “The Wizard of Oz” — a quest to find heart, courage, brains and most importantly, home. The cast also includes Daniel Kaminsky as the Wizard, Stephen Jenks as Uncle Henry, Karie Kaminsky as Aunt Em, Karlie NicholsClark as the Good Witch Glinda and Betty BroganArchibald as the Wicked “The Wizard of Oz” will run at the Heritage Theatre Aug. 23 to Sept. 14. Witch of The West.
Small watercolor paintings on display Logan Fine Art Gallery is hosting the Utah Watercolor Society Small Works Show through Friday, Aug. 30. This is a wonderful opportunity to collect work of highly acclaimed artists. All the artwork is 12-by-12 inches or smaller, so prices are smaller, as well. This is a chance to collect award-winning art from “London Train Station” by Kristi Grussendorf. Kristi Grussendorf, Jerri
Fuhriman, Lynda Burruss, Jeannie Millecam and new artists you might not be familiar with such as Ernie Verdine, who took home best of show honors this year and has only recently joined the Utah Watercolor Society. There were 107 artists who entered the competition this year, and each work is as individual as the artist who created it.
But together the paintings weave a tapestry of beauty that tickles the senses and transports the viewer to a place where color has no boundaries to its uses. Logan Fine Art Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and everyone is welcome to enjoy the paintings of the Utah Watercolor Society Small Works Show.
Magic show set for Saturday Following their soldout performance at the Thatcher-Young Mansion in June, deceptionist Richard Hatch, violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch, and pianist Jonathan Hatch return to their home venue for a single performance Saturday, Aug. 17. The 70-minute program will begin at 2 p.m. and feature music by Bach, Kreisler and Saint-Saens and magic by Punx, Vernon and Robert-Houdin, among others. Also featured will be Richard Hatch’s original presentation for the traditional Japanese feat known as “Nankin Tamasudare,” accompanied by Rosemary’s performance of Michiyo Miyagi’s “Haru no Umi” (The Sea of Spring). Hatch also plans to attempt to link several borrowed wedding bands at this performance, should audience members be willing to lend them. “I’m often asked after performing the traditional Chinese linking-ring routine, which uses large 12-inch steel rings, if I could do the same with finger rings,” says Hatch. “ Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children under 12. Tickets may be reserved by calling (435) 932-0017 or purchased online at www.hatchacademy.com.

‘The Butler’ tells a story we need to hear By Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer
“You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve.” Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything. And that means that over more than three decades on the job, he

The Reel Place Aaron Peck
The first “Kick-Ass” movie was received warmly by critics and audiences. Its tongue-incheek humor mixed with ultra-violence resonated with people who were clamoring for a grittier type of comic book movie. No superpowers. Instead a bunch of masked vigilantes stalking the streets in homemade spandex outfits. The first one harbored a bit of charm, which was ultimately lost in its corrosive bloodlust. The second one throws most of the allure out the window and in its place: dead seriousness. Whether the movie is trying to be cheekily ironic or super-serious is anyone’s guess. At times it revels in the bizarre and downright dimwitted nature of its characters, and then in the exact same breath it desperately tries to get all philosophical on us. Which one is it? When is the movie joking and when is it trying to be a serious comment on the-hero-in-all-of-us school of thought? Like the would-be superheroes populating the world of “Kick-Ass,” the movie seems to be disguised as something it’s not. Dave (Aaron Johnson) spent the first movie embracing his made-up vigilante hero, Kick-Ass. He donned some stretchy green fabric, grabbed a pair of beating sticks and patrolled the streets. After a few fights he became a viral internet sensation. He soon met up with Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), who is the closest thing resembling a real superhero in these movies. While the others simply dress up as heroes and waffle their

IN A PICKLE A growing group of locals are picking up their paddles and getting serious about pickleball
It hasn’t exactly exploded on the local scene, but a relatively unknown sport has nonetheless started to establish a foothold in Cache Valley. Pickleball, which combines elements of badminton, tennis table, tennis and racquetball, is rapidly gaining popularity in certain parts of the country. Because there are no pickleball-specific courts in Cache Valley, growth has been slower here, but there are several enthusiasts — many over the age of 60 — who have fallen in love with the sport. “Pickleball attracts people that maybe are diminishing in some of their (racquet sports) skills, getting older,” said Logan’s Diane Barnett, who is 62. “It’s more social. A lot of racquetball, ping pong, tennis players, pickleball appeals to a lot of those players because the skills transfer over well. And it’s not hard for me to carry my pickleball equipment vs. my golf clubs or my tennis gear, and so it’s far more appealing to (my husband and I).” Barnett is a member of the Logan Pickleball Association, which was started up a little less than a year ago. The founder of the local chapter is 70-yearold Logan resident Wally Brazzeal, who was once an avid racquetball player. Brazzeal, who is still very fit, was introduced to pickleball about a year ago by a sister who lives in St. George. While in St. George, Brazzeal was able to learn the nuances of the sport from a professional instructor. Pickleball is very popular in St. George, and Barnett referred to the city as a pickleball “mecca.” Needless to say, Brazzeal was hooked. “You can play and you don’t have to
be in the best shape ... but you want to be able to get outside and you want to be able to have a sport, and walking gets boring after a while,” said Brazzeal, who stressed people have been playing pickleball locally well before he was introduced to the sport. “And a sport will move you (to be active) when nothing else will, so that’s the biggest draw, I think.” Upon returning to the valley, Brazzeal approached the Logan Recreation Center about putting together a local pickleball association, and he was encouraged to head up the process. Members of the Logan Pickleball Association — there are about 15 of them, Brazzeal said — communicate through email in deciding when and where to play. Throughout the summer, pickleball enthusiasts have been playing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings at Mount Logan Middle School. During the winter, members play at an LDS meetinghouse in Logan. The sport is especially popular among the valley’s summer citizens, and there were several of them who played with regularity at MLMS. Brazzeal thoroughly enjoyed learning from and competing against the summer citizens, and referred to several of them as “a hoot.” “Our numbers expanded substantially when (the summer citizens) got here, and they had actually negotiated with the middle school to use those courts See PICKLE on Page 12

Books Book brings JFK’s heady final days to life By Christopher Sullivan his happiest. Associated Press The story line of these
For a blunt-titled book with a tragic conclusion that every reader knows from the start, Thurston Clarke’s “JFK’s Last Hundred Days” manages to surprise and even occasionally to delight. This book is about life, a quick-pulsed three months of life, before it’s about death. It’s about forward movement and daily accomplishments, often history-making ones, before it’s about lost opportunities and, as the Israeli statesman Abba Eban characterized the assassination of the young president in his prime, “one of the most authentically tragic events in the history of nations.” It’s worth noting that among these 100 days were some that John F. Kennedy himself called
days takes the reader from early August 1963 through his death on Nov. 22. The book has the feel of a wide-ranging diary, each chapter focusing on a successive week or even a single day. It details Kennedy’s personal dealings — playing with his young children, John and Caroline, in the Oval Office, for example, or singing sentimental songs at the family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. — as well as his political maneuverings and presidential actions. At times, the events are laid out hour by hour, but never tediously. This was a time in which civil-rights activism was rising toward a crest. We see Kennedy conferring with black leaders and, in one testy White House meeting, with the white leader-
ship of Birmingham, Ala., amid deadly violence there. As the March on Washington plays out at the Lincoln Memorial, we see the president listening at an open White House window with a black doorman as the throng sings “We Shall Overcome.” We watch Kennedy plunge into foreign policy — pursuing back-channel contacts with the Cuban
and Soviet leadership, wrestling with what to do about Vietnam, where a coup that his administration fostered ends with two South Vietnamese leaders being murdered. We’re privy to his horsetrading with congressional leaders, including his successful effort to win Senate ratification of the seminal Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Politics then was about bipartisan deal-making and constructiveness, as Clarke shows. He quotes Kennedy in what could be a rebuke of today’s bitter gridlock: “Let our patriotism be reflected in the creation of confidence in one another, rather than in crusades of suspicion.” The subtitle, “The Transformation of a Man and the Emergence of a Great President,” makes clear from the outset that this is an admiring chronicle.

Caitlin Strong returns in Land’s ‘Strong Rain Falling’ By Bruce DeSilva Associated Press
The first four novels in Jon Land’s Caitlin Strong series read like episodes from the “Die Hard” franchise, with the swaggering, triggerhappy female Texas Ranger standing in for the preposterously heroic John McClane. But in “Strong Rain Falling,” the author seems to have dropped his heroine into the middle of a James Bond movie. The tense, suspenseful plot begins when gunmen attempt to assassinate the two teenage children of Cort Wesley
Masters, the reformed mob enforcer who is Caitlin’s love interest. As Cort and Caitlin try to find out why someone wants the boys dead, they uncover a diabolical plan to plunge the United States into the Dark Ages. The scheme is the brainstorm of Ana Callas Guajardo, a powerful Mexican national with a lust for power, a bonedeep hatred of America and a secret high-tech lair reminiscent of Blofeld and Goldfinger. Guajardo even has a psychotic, almost superhuman, henchman who brings to mind Bond characters like Jaws and Oddjob.

Jessica Hedges will perform Aug. 23.
Continued from Page 5 Columbia, Canada, to the high desert plains of Wyoming. Each of these places that she has called home has embedded in her a deep root and love for the cowboy, Western and buckaroo lifestyle. Seely currently resides at Martin’s Cove, Wyo., where she and her family live and work on the Handcart Ranch. The mother of four children, her personal look into the life of a ranch wife gives her a deep perspective and appreciation of a lifestyle that some say is a bygone era. Seely not only puts her heart and soul into being a wonderful
mother and wife, but into every performance she does. She recently finished her second CD, which should be available for sale at this event. A resident of Blackfoot, Idaho, Hedges is a cowboy poet that has delighted audiences with her real life stories of working cows, riding horses and training dogs from a woman’s point of view. She brings a completely new perspective to the genre while staying true to the history that created it. Her first CD, “History in the Barn,” came out when she was 21 and she has been on a roll ever since. Hedges’ much-awaited second CD, “Buckaroo Woman Unconfined,” was released in January. Other Trout and Berry Days events this year include a turkey shoot that
Pickle Continued from Page 9 and put down the tape,” Brazzeal said. “We had five courts at one time. ... We just really enjoyed playing with them.” For those unfamiliar with the sport, it has been around since 1965 — it was invented in upstate Washington, according to Wikipedia — but hasn’t really increased much in popularity until the past few years. Pickleball is most comparable to tennis and is contested on courts that look like miniature hardcourt tennis courts. A pickleball court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long, which is the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court and one-third the total area of a tennis court. The net, 34 inches high, is two inches lower than a tennis net at the center. Games are played to 11 points, win by two, but players can only win a point on their serve. Like in tennis, the server stands behind the baseline and serves crosscourt, but must serve underhand. Additionally, like all of the racquet and paddle sports, there are singles and doubles in pickleball. The first seven feet on each side of the net is referred to as the kitchen area. A player cannot hit the ball out of the air while standing inside the kitchen area. Like in tennis, having quick reflexes and having the ability to volley is essential in competitive pickleball. Also, a serve must clear the kitchen area. Pickleball paddles have a similar shape to that of an oversized table tennis paddle or an undersized racquetball racquet. Pickleball paddles, which

are sold at Al’s Sporting Goods, are not supposed to exceed a combined 24 inches in width and length. These paddles are typically made of either wood, composite or both. The ball used in pickleball games are perforated plastic ones with holes, very similar to that of a wiffle ball. Because the balls are light, players can strike them really hard without hitting it out of play, but playing pickleball outdoors can be very tricky when it’s windy. Pickleball athletes play competitively throughout the U.S. and there is a countrywide association called the USA Pickleball Association, which holds a yearly national championship. There are even tournaments in Utah where the top finishers can win prize money, Barnett said. Barnett started playing with her hus-
band, Bill, in November 2012. The couple caught the bug while they practiced volleying in their house, and now play as much as they can. The Barnetts even recently competed in a tourney in Ogden. “We travel the west in our RV and everyone talks about pickleball,” Diane Barnett said. “... So we decided — and we’ve both been avid tennis players — that this was a better sport for us, especially with our knees and backs and shoulders.” Four other avid pickleball players are Marc Haws, Steve Strickland, Kelli Farr and Austin Wilcox. Farr and Wilcox — who, in their early 20s, are two of the younger pickleball players in the valley — introduced Haws and Strickland to the sport a couple of months ago. Farr started playing in March of this year after her father, a tennis instructor in Palm Springs, Calif., introduced her
will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Paradise gravel pit, and the Sherwood Hills Golf Course will play host to a tournament from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 22. Activities on Saturday, Aug. 24, include a flag ceremony (8 a.m.); breakfast (7 to 10 a.m. at the fire station); 5K fun run (7 a.m., contact Eric or Misty Andrus at 245-5019); parade (10:30 a.m.); trout scramble (noon to 1:30 p.m.), mud volleyball game (4 p.m., contact Krista or Shanie Atwood at 760-1546); trout dinner with fresh berry dessert (6 to 8:30 p.m., cost is $12 per plate) and family country dance featuring the Sagwitch Basin Boys (8:30 to 11 p.m.). to pickleball. Farr, like Barnett and Brazzeal, really loves the social aspect of the sport. “I was pretty skeptical at the beginning and wasn’t really in the mood to try something new,” Haws said. “(I thought), ‘Yeah, whatever. Pickleball, what’s that?’” Like Barnett and Brazzeal, Haws is confident this is a sport he will continue to play as he grows older. “I mean, there’s some things you just can’t play when you’re older,” Haws said. “... But this is something the whole family can enjoy, and it’s relaxing, too. It’s not really hard on your joints. ... I think the older you get, the better you get at this sport.” A new pickleball facility was recently completed in Brigham City and features eight public outdoor courts. Thanks to several Box Elder County businesses and individual citizens, more than $110,000 was raised for the complex, which is located at Pioneer Park. Diane Barnett has played at the new Brigham City courts and said it’s “a beautiful facility.” Barnett and Brazzeal are hopeful Cache Valley will eventually build some pickleball-specific courts, but Brazzeal has an idea for a temporary solution. “Our goal is to try to ask enough people to allow us to use our own paint and paint some of the city (tennis) courts because there are lots of courts in and around Logan and they don’t all get used (regularly) for tennis,” Brazzeal said. “Some of them don’t get used very much at all and we would just like to be able to use those.” Brazzeal encouraged those interested playing pickleball to contact him at brazwally@infowest.com.
Continued from Page 3 Bishop says that for many reasons, if it weren’t for League of Utah Writers, he never would have got published. Through the LUW, he learned much more about the craft of writing, and over the following three years, Bishop rewrote “The Samaritan’s Pistol” eight times. Despite adding chapters and characters, the manuscript went from 150,000 words to 85,000 words, and in 2011, “The Samaritan’s Pistol” took second-place in an LUW contest for unpublished manuscripts. And thanks to that second-place finish, Bishop got the attention of Jolly Fish Press, which agreed to publish his first book. “I’m kind of proud of the fact that the story is still about 90 percent the same of what it was in the original manuscript,” Bishop notes. “The eight rewrites were all about every sentence; pick the right subject, pick the right verb; say it as succintly and accurately and as quickly as you can.

Kennedy-phobics may roll their eyes at the book’s implication that JFK was becoming a better husband toward the end. While not glossing his philandering history, it argues that something changed between Jack and Jackie Kennedy after the death of their infant son, Patrick, in August 1963. Citing times and places, Clarke suggests that JFK passed up specific liaison opportunities with other women; he also quotes multiple observers as noticing previously unseen loving looks and demonstrative gestures between the normally cool, private couple. Such observations illustrate the highly effective research

method employed by Clarke, whose previous book subjects have ranged from Pearl Harbor to Raoul Wallenberg. Small, telling details about JFK get hoovered up along with the big things, such as policy debates recorded by secretly installed Oval Office microphones, to create immediacy and surprise. When the always restless Kennedy doodles during dull meetings, Clarke’s descriptions of what he draws give a glimpse into the president’s mind. On Nov. 21, during his final trip, he made a doodle on the stationery of a Texas hotel. This one wasn’t his typical impatient scribbling. He drew “a sailboat heeling slightly in the wind,” Clarke writes. “He put a diamond-shaped figure above it, perhaps one of the kites he and John had flown off the back of the (presidential yacht) ‘Honey Fitz’ the previous summer. ... This one was evocative and serene.”
‘Elysium’ tops box office list with $30.5 million NEW YORK (AP) — The dystopian science fiction thriller “Elysium” topped the weekend box office with $30.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, enough to beat three newcomers, including the Jennifer Aniston comedy “We’re the Millers.” Sony’s “Elysium,” directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Matt Damon, opened in line with expectations, but still debuted somewhat modestly for a $115 million action film. It couldn’t match Blomkamp’s previous film, the $30 million “District 9,” which opened with $37.4 million in August 2009. But “Elysium” was able to come out on top in a crowded weekend, with three other new wide releases: the R-rated Warner Bros. comedy “We’re the Millers,” starring Jason Sudeikis and Aniston ($26.6 million over the weekend, a strong $38 million since opening Tuesday night); Disney’s “Cars” spinoff “Planes” ($22.5 million) and Fox’s fantasy sequel “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” ($14.6 million over the weekend, $23.5 million since Wednesday).
Butler Continued from Page 6 But the story begins in 1926, with the death of Cecil’s own father at the hands of the barbaric son of a landowner on a Georgia cotton farm. The elderly landowner (Vanessa Redgrave, beginning the celebrity cameo parade) takes Cecil into her home, where he first learns to be a butler — how to act, she tells him, like the room is empty even when he’s in it. Years later, working in a Washington, D.C. hotel, Cecil is noticed by a White House official, leading to a job there. His wife, Gloria, is immensely proud. Gloria, as you may have heard, is played by one Oprah Winfrey, and her performance is often restrained and quite moving. To her credit, you’re not thinking “Wow, Oprah!” in every scene; that in itself is no small triumph. Not all the star performances are successful. When we first see Robin Williams as Eisenhower, his head bald, it almost feels like we’re about to witness a “Saturday Night Live” skit. Williams doesn’t overdo it, but the casting choice seems forced. James Marsden, on the other hand, is a
“District 9” was something of a phenomenon: a relatively low-budget science-fiction film from a first-time, South African director that made over $210 million worldwide and landed four Academy Awards nominations, including best picture. Like “District 9,” ‘’Elysium” is rife with allegory, a futuristic tale heavy with contemporary themes of wealth discrepancy, health care and immigration. But it was also made with more than three times the budget of “District 9” and added stars Damon and Jodie Foster. Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony said the studio was proud to release an ambitious film like “Elysium” and said that it would be “very profitable” for Sony. The film launched internationally in a handful of markets, including Russia, taking in $10.9 million overseas. With the added star power of Damon and Foster, “Elysium” should be a bigger draw than “District 9” was abroad. “International is going to be the big, big win on this film for us,” said Bruer.
good choice as John F. Kennedy, with his handsome grin, boyish demeanor and Boston drawl. Liev Schreiber is amusing if a little broad as LBJ, and John Cusack is interesting as Richard Nixon, even though he looks nothing like him. Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda, making the most of her one scene, make a surprisingly satisfying Ronald and Nancy Reagan. But what makes the film work, finally, are the soft-spoken Whitaker, whose dignified portrayal rivals his Oscar-winning work in “The Last King of Scotland,” and the powerful Oyelowo, whose Louis progresses over the years from determined and brave to angry and cynical, and ultimately to a seasoned older man. Their relationship gives structure to the broad story of civil rights in America — a story crucial to tell, and crucial to hear. Daniels and company may not have made a masterpiece, but they have made a film you should see. ——— “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” a Weinstein Company release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.” Running time: 132 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

“I’m drawn to Hemingway,” Bishop adds, “and the authors who can say it lean, instead of flowery and overwritten. That appeals to me. I want to be drawn in and fill in some of the details for myself.” Bishops, who says he has an idea for a book every day, has already started work on a new novel entitled, “Twelve Steps from Winslow.” He also envisions turning “The Samaritan’s Pistol” into a trilogy, and possibly even writing a prequel involving one of the secondary characters. In the meantime, he’s simply excited to hold those first physical copies of his inaugural novel in his hands. “It was pretty surreal to see the cover,” Bishop declares. “It was pretty emotional, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with my family and friends.” ———

The evening will not be about trying to change anyone’s mind, but rather a chance to share how you approach the issue, and listen respectfully to the approaches of others. These meetings are grounded in the conviction that the human experience is complex and progress only comes when we listen, love, and seek to understand. Soup ‘n Stroke, a gathering
