The edge of the John Moulton Barn along Mormon Row helps frame the Grand Teton and Mount Owen in Jackson Hole, Wyo. (Eli Lucero/Herald Journal). On the cover, Mount Moran is reflected in String Lake in Grand Teton National Park. (Jeff Hunter/Herald Journal).

FROM THE EDITOR I grew up just a couple of hours away from Jackson Hole, Wyo., so taking friends and relatives who came to visit on little side trips to Grand Teton National Park was a common occurrence in my family. That’s why I as I got older, I was always stunned when I happened to an encounter a fellow Idaho Falls native who had never seen the Tetons in person.

Now that I live about an hour further away from Jackson, I still do my best to try and preach the gospel about the

spectacular mountainscapes and wildlife opportunities offered by the Teton Mountain Range (and Yellowstone National Park) to those who have never ventured that far north of Cache Valley.

That’s why when an unfortunate situation led to change of plans for Cache Magazine’s cover story this week, it seemed like a good opportunity to share some photographs I’ve taken through the years in and around Grand Teton National Park.

Herald Journal photographer Eli Lucero also offered up some of his favorite shots from the Jackson Hole area, providing numerous opportunities to showcase the majestic beauty of that part of the world.

If you’ve never made the trip north, I hope the photographs beginning on page

8 will inspire you to do so. And if you’re a fellow admirer of that part of Wyoming (it should also be noted that the views from the Idaho side are similarly amazing), then I hope it will whet your appetite to make a return trip.

I know that even though I’ve been gazing upon the magnificent peaks of the Teton Mountain Range since I was a little kid, whenever I leave Grand Teton National Park and head south towards Jackson, I always find myself twisting and turning my car’s rear-view mirrors as I head down the highway, desperately seeking one last glimpse of “America’s Alps” before they disappear from sight.

— Jeff Hunter

Time to turn back the clock Celebrate America show set to hit the stage Sept. 3-7

The famous black-and-white photograph at the bottom right reflects a time in American history unlike any other.

“In The Miller Mood” not only reenacts this famous photograph — taken

by Alfred Eisenstaedt of an American sailer kissing a woman in Times Square as New York City celebrated the end of World War II — but the show recreates the time when big band music played such an important role in building the morale of the nation.

Like many 17-year olds during World War II, Von Freeman heeded the call to serve his country and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Freeman served on the U.S.S. Goldsborough, a destroyer in the Pacific Ocean.

This year’s “In the Miller Mood” is inspired by his story and dedicated to his memory and to the brave men and women who fought for the freedom we have today.

Armed Forces Radio helped Freeman and thousands of men in the throes of war forget for a moment how far they were from home and helped them to remember life in America. Radio was a lifeline between troops overseas and loved ones back in the states. Troops enjoyed hearing news and updates from the life they left behind, listening to great big bands lead by Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and others. Families at home gathered round the radio eagerly awaiting the broadcast of AFR. There’s no question that radio played a large part in the success of big band music, and in the process became the medium that helped boost the morale of civilians and military personnel.

all mixed up Aspen Santa Fe Ballet coming to Logan Special dance performance slated for Sept. 11 at the Ellen Eccles Theatre The Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, in the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

ASFB will perform a trio of contemporary works that exemplify their commitment to commissioning groundbreaking work by both world-renowned and emerging choreographers. The Logan program will include Norbert De La Cruz III’s commissioned work “Square None,” Jormo Elo’s “Over Glow” and Jirí Kylián’s “Return to a Strange Land.”

There are three ways to purchase tickets: call, click or come by. Stop at the CVCA Ticket Office in person at 43 S. Main St., call 752-0026 or visit cachearts. org. The ticket office is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

With its fusion of classical good sense and Western ingenuity, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet blends the best of both worlds to create a dance company that is truly unique. Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is not your average ballet company. At an ASFB performance you won’t see many tutus or toe shoes, or other typical ballet clichés. What you will see are 11 amazingly graceful athletes pulling off challenging and eye-catching movement to create cutting-edge, contemporary ballet. Audiences in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and even foreign countries have embraced Aspen Santa Fe Ballet as “one

of the hottest tickets in ballet.”

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s bold vision — top global choreographers, distinctive groundbreaking works and virtuoso dancers — has fostered a jewel of a dance company in the American West and beyond.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s founder, Bebe Schweppe, was a visionary in 1996 when she invited Tom Mossbrucker and JeanPhilippe Malaty to create a ballet company that Aspen could call its own. Initially known as Aspen Ballet Company, a partnership in 2000 led to the creation of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. The company has called both Aspen and Santa Fe “home” ever since.

ASFB’s unique pioneering spirit arises from a paired set of home cities: Aspen, nestled high in the Rocky Mountains, and Santa Fe, gracing the majestic Southwestern plateau. For 16 years, the company has served as a prestigious incubator and a showcase for choreographic invention to popular and critical acclaim.

“For us it’s never been about the single work. It’s the relationship we build with our choreographers; they become part of the fabric of the company,” says Aspen Santa Fe Ballet artistic director JeanPhilippe Malaty. “The natural beauty of our surroundings has a profound impact See BALLET on Page 13

The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for kids; no children under 5 admitted.

Tickets are available at cachearts.org

or at the door.

The Ragamuffins are a group of veterans of Logan Youth Shakespeare. They are excited to bring this actor-directed modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s beloved “Twelfth Night” to the stage for their very first production.

Performances will begin at 7 p.m.

Aug. 24, at the Bullen Center. Tickets are $6 for adults, $3 for kids; children under the age of 5 will not be admitted.

Fresh off a national TV appearance on “Conan,” standup comedian and Utah State University alumnus Bengt Washburn returns to Logan for two shows at 8 and 10 p.m. Friday, Sept.

13, at the Dansante Building, 59 S. 100 West.

Washburn’s early show will be rated PG, but both shows are for mature audiences. Performing with him will be Cache Valley comedians Mike Gro-

ver and Spence Roper. Pre-purchased tickets are $9 (available at www.getbengt.com) or $10 at the door.

Originally from Utah but currently residing in Virginia, Washburn lived in Logan while earning a BFA in painting from USU (’89) and went on to receive an MFA in painting from Indiana University. A former winner of the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition, Wash-

burn appeared on “Conan” on TBS last April. Other television appearances in the past include Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” He has also been heard multiple times on the Bob & Tom Morning Radio Show and every day on XM Sirius radio.

This spirited show takes place at a unique location: Willows Golf Park Theatre, 220 W. Spring Creek Pkwy. in Providence, and features a play adaptation by David Sidwell of River Heights with music by Marianne Sidwell and Becky Hainsworth.

“There’s music, there’s dancing, there’s dessert and we’ve worked real hard to keep everyone laughing,” says Apria Martin, director of the production. “We can hardly get through it without laughing ourselves.”

Some of the outstanding features of the production include its unique venue: a miniature golf park. Willows Golf Park is a favorite destination for families and friends throughout much of the year, and it has a stage.

However, Martin decided that the play should be See WEST on Page 13

Historic homes on display Sept. 7 The sixth annual Cache Valley Historic Home Tour will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7. This year’s tour will spotlight several of the homes built by the valley’s earliest settlers in Logan and Providence. The event is presented by the Cache Valley Historical Society and Cache Valley Visitors Bureau.

“People are always curious about the interiors of these architectural showpieces,” says Julie Hollist, director of the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau. “In many cases the owners have spent years restoring these homes and it’s a rare opportunity to step inside.”

year’s tour have a unique history. One was the home of an infamous stagecoach robber and horse thief who was hanged on the gallows in Logan, and the house was also reputed to be a brothel in the early 1900s. Another home was built as an elementary school in the late 1800s, while another one of the homes on the tour was built by a polygamist for his two wives.

“Most of the homes this year were built in the 1800s so we will not only see the skills and resourcefulness of these early builders, but we will also enjoy the innovation, ingenuity and hard work of the current residents who

have made the home convenient for our time while maintaining many of their unique historic features,” says Bernice McCowin, committee chair.

Tickets are $10 and are available at Macey’s Food & Drug, Lee’s Marketplace in Logan and Smithfield and the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau at 199 N. Main St. Proceeds from the tour will fund scholarships for USU students studying local history and for transportation for school children to visit the American West Heritage Center.

Comedian Bengt Washburn set to return

The new yin-yang of modern life seems to be the battle between make your mark and leave no trace. You wouldn’t have to worry about leaving a trace if you didn’t make a trace to begin with, and you wouldn’t have to recycle that thing if you didn’t buy that thing in the first place.

Ponder that.

This moment of Bubba Buddhism springs from the increasing number of “one downmanship” conversations I’ve been part of lately. You know, the ones where

Making consumer choices is harder than ever

you find yourself bragging about how little you do to impact the environment?

“My car, which I never drive, is so efficient it

actually puts oil back in the ground,” you hear someone say.

Trying to do the right thing will drive you crazy.

Take the example of buying a flat-screen TV. Let’s say you settle on a Super Whammy 92-in Tehnoblab Quadrascreen made

by Sammysong. Now what? There are dozens of places to buy that TV ranging from a local grocery story to an Internet sales company across the planet. In between those extremes are Wally World Mart, Gregslist and Worst Buy. Which one of these is best for the local economy? All the local chain

stores employ local people and pay local taxes, but which one of them sells the Super Whammy the cheapest, provides easy returns, treats their employees best and does not have annoying sales tactics? By the time you figure this out the Super Bowl halftime show could be starting, so you just press a button on the Internet and wait for the UPS guy to drop it on your porch. The driver is sort of local, right?

Of course, you could be the pre-steroid A-Rod of one downmanship by just saying, “I never watch TV.”

Every purchase is like this, and that is what makes “buy local, buy responsibly, vote with your dollars” such a maddening experience.

Shopping on the Internet reduces the number of choices.

Taken to the extremes, maybe you should not only buy local, but be local. If you take all your vacation dollars outside of the valley that also negatively impacts the economy. What about when you are on your made-in-China computer designing publications with software made in California and you pop

in a stock photograph?

Think about a local photographer who might not be quite as good but might give it to you inexpensively or for free just for the exposure?

You buy a local paper for local news; I assume you also want local photos rather than the same smiling couple you can see in 37 other states?

You probably don’t care because to care about it too much would make your head hurt. So you just click eye-photos and download. Like the Super Whammy TV, we often See EVER on Page 13

‘Butler’ serves up box-office success LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” is serving up success at the box office.

Starring Forest Whitaker as a longtime White House butler and Oprah Winfrey as his boozy wife, the Weinstein Co. biopic debuted in the top spot with $25 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. But the weekend’s three other major new releases, including the action romp “Kick-Ass 2,” failed to find traction with fans.

“We expected to do well, but we didn’t expect to do this well,” said Erik Lomis, president of distribu-

tion and home entertainment for Weinstein Co., adding that “The Butler” is the company’s first No. 1 debut since 2009’s “Inglourious Basterds.”

Even with a full slate of newcomers, last week’s top movies claimed the second and third spots in the box-office race. The Jason Sudeikis-Jennifer Aniston Warner Bros. comedy, “We’re the Millers,” held onto second place in its second week of release with $17.78 million, while last week’s No. 1, Sony’s “Elysium,” dropped to third with $13.6 million.

Latest film from Edgar Wright is one of the year’s best

Aaron Peck

“The World’s End” is a perfect mash up of a mid-life crisis parable and an alien invasion movie. I know the two don’t sound like they go together, but in the hands of British comedic genius Edgar Wright, it’s a perfect pairing.

You should already know Wright from his previous darkly comedic British movies “Shaun of the Dead” (one of the best zombie movies ever made) and “Hot Fuzz” (one of the best buddy cop movies ever made). Wright bends genres at will, creating wholly original stories out of famously clichéd parts. Together with his favorite acting duo, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, Wright has cranked out a loose trilogy of movies — ending fittingly with “The World’s End” — that happen to be seemingly endless wells of comedic brilliance.

“The World’s End” begins with a night to remember. Gary King (Pegg) hasn’t stopped thinking about it.

Middle age has rolled around, but Gary is still the same slacker he was in high school.

One night, back when they were young, Gary and a group of his best mates set out to tackle a legendary pub crawl.

Twelve pubs in one night and a pint at each.

It was epic, memorable

that ensues as a group of friends who haven’t seen each other for years are thrown back together on a whim. Then the movie segues into a devious extraterrestrial plot that shouldn’t take anyone by surprise since the TV promos are playing up that aspect more than the stellar comedy.

We saw this formula fail with a sickening thud when it was tried a little while ago in “The Watch.” Here Wright is careful to populate his film with interesting characters and to establish their tenuous relationships at the start.

The key is creating a deeply emotional movie that somehow still ends up being a hilarious tale

about an invading alien force and the unlikely men who fight back.

Something else that must be noted is with all this fantastic writing and character development, Wright also shoots some dynamite action sequences.

Now this is how you film fast-paced handto-hand combat. No queasy shaky-cam here. Wright’s action scenes are cognizant of space and distance.

They’re extremely wellchoreographed, exciting, and easy to follow even though they’re moving at lightning speed. If only more modern action movies subscribed to this style rather than the chaotic nonsense that usually passes for action these days.

At times “The World’s End” feels like a grown-up version of “The Goonies.” A group of friends on a quest, thrown into an unseen adventure, which causes them to reevaluate their lives. Its execution is marvelous.

One of the best movies of the year.

As a character-driven story about the bonds between sisters, the story is equally unconvincing.

The girls come off nearly as flat as the Betty and Veronica characters in the comics Patty adores.

The main problem is the narrator, who sucks up all the oxygen in the

Ten things to know about the late Elmore Leonard

Author Elmore Leonard passed away in Bloomfield Township, Mich., Tuesday at age of 87.

DETROIT (AP) — Ten things to know about Elmore Leonard, the acclaimed crime novelist who died Tuesday at age 87.

1. He wrote on paper Leonard wrote longhand on 63-page unlined yellow pads that were custom-made for him. When a page was completed, he transferred the words onto a separate piece of paper using a typewriter. “There’s no reason for me to have a computer.

I’ve been writing in longhand for 50 years. It’s more a question of what pen do I use than it is anything else,” Leonard told The Associated Press in 2004.

Another unique element of the play includes some of the traditional male roles being played by females. For instance, Tybalt, the fiery and tempestuous cousin of Juliet, is played by Katie Ditton, while the jovial role of Mercutio is played by the ever-lively Lotti Sidwell.

He told the AP at the end of last year that he was excited about his next work, which centered around a rogue Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and bull riding. The working title was “Blue Dreams.” Gregg Sutter, Leonard’s longtime researcher, said Tuesday the book also would have featured Raylan Givens, the Stetsonwearing U.S. marshal from “Raylan” and his short story, “Fire in the Hole” — the basis for the FX series “Justified.”
