FROM THE EDITOR After a couple of decades at The Herald Journal, I’ve learned that people are quite passionate about their comic strips. Any time we’ve added or dropped certain strips, there’s always been an outcry — often both pro and con — about whatever change we have made.

So, that’s why I’m so excited to share the news about a new comic strip. First of all, because it’s by an artist with lots of Cache Valley ties. And second, because you can find it online, so there’s no need to argue

the merits of a certain cartoon taking up valuable real estate in the newspaper.

Lynn Wendel is set to officially launch “A Different Star” on her website on Monday, Aug. 31. The strip will chronicle the adventures of young Hannah and her cat, Leo. Hannah’s family is large, and, according to Wendel’s press release, lives next to some new neighbors “who are about to find their lives turned upside down.”

“To add a little spice to the mix, Hannah’s family is what the Fox family calls religious fanatics who belong to an unusual religion (they are Mormons). The majority of the Lee family members are highly political Republicans with right-

wing views stemming from their highly controversial religion. Meanwhile, the Fox family is very liberal and out to save the world from crazy Republicans. A clash of cultures ensues with loads of laughs.”

Previously known as Gay Lynn Tucker during her student days, Wendel earned an art degree at Utah State University and has had cartoons previously published in The Statesman and The Herald Journal.

So, if you’re intrigued by the work of the former Paradise resident, drop by adifferentstar.com starting on Monday to get a taste of Wendel’s family-friendly cartoon.

Owenhouse to take the Eccles Theatre stage on Sept. 19 Jay Owenhouse: The Authentic Illusionist will present “Dare to Believe” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Tickets for the show are $29.50, $39.50 or $69.50, with group ticket packages available for $35.50 and $24.50 each. Tickets are available at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Box Office at 43 S. Main St., by calling 752-0226 or online at cachearts.org.

“Dare to Believe” breaks new ground with a brand-new, elaborate stage show — a mind-boggling, spellbinding experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Owenhouse’s new show is a theatrical event where audiences not only witness the magic — they experience it.

You’ll see audience members float in mid-air, get sawed in half and predict the future. “Dare to Believe” also features Owenhouse’s new bengal tigers, Shekinah — a stunning royal white tiger — and her sister, Sheena — a beautiful orange bengal.

Owenhouse spent 2008 touring China and Japan, where his show received the “Best Touring Family Show in Asia” award. Now back in the U.S., he is working on his new TV series. Owenhouse can also currently be seen on Fox television in the show “Magic On The Edge,” and in the television special called “Masters Of Illusion,” a program profiling the best magicians in the world. Produced by Associated Television International, the show is currently airing in Europe, Asia, Australia and in the U.S. Caught by the magic bug at 4 years old, Owenhouse first performed as a freshman in high school. Since then, in the spirit of “giving it away to keep it,” Owenhouse has invented magic effects and designed illusions not only for his show, but also for other world-

renowned magicians.

The father of four children, the Montana resident stepped away from the stage for a few years as his wife, Susan, battled a rare auto-immune disease. Susan passed away in April 2009, and he is now regularly aided on tour by 23-year-old John (main illusion engineer/assistant); 21-year-old Peter (sound and video engineer); 18-year-

old Juliana (main female assistant); and 9-year-old Christina (second female assistant).

“My happiness comes from my beautiful family,” Owenhouse say.

“And my satisfaction comes from the opportunity to bring a feeling of wonder to the next generation of young people with what is nearly a lost art — the live magic show.”

Four Seasons Theatre Company is excited to present the family favorite musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” Aug. 28-29, 31, and Sept. 3-5.

Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Sky View High School Auditorium in Smithfield, with Saturday matinees starting at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available at fourseasonstheatre.org for $11 in advance and $13 at the door (price includes a $1 processing fee). Family and group rates are offered by calling the Four Seasons ticket hotline at 535-1432.

This production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” has a cast of over 50 local adult performers and 35 children in the youth choir. The Biblical saga of Joseph is delightfully narrated by Afton Lovell (who previously starred in Four Seasons’ “The Wizard of Oz” as The Wicked Witch).

Joseph’s coat of many

colors comes to vibrant life through a cornucopia of musical styles in this entertaining parable. Joseph, played by Cache Valley native Jon Rash in his reprised role, is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, where he endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.

He is purchased by Potiphar, where thwarting advances from Potiphar’s wife land him in jail. When news of Joseph’s gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel.

heads while dancing and singing. These young men fled to the United States as refugees from Burundi, a country located in wartorn central-east Africa. Their performance symbolizes peace, love and the heartbeat of life itself.

‘Compton’ stays straight, tops box office again NEW YORK (AP) — “Straight Outta Compton” easily maintained its box-office lead with an estimated $26.8 million in ticket sales over a sleepy late summer weekend at North American multiplexes, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Universal’s N.W.A biopic, a much buzzed-about hit, dominated over the late August releases that often characterize Hollywood’s dog days of summer. It has now made $111.5 million in two weeks, and continued to drive moviegoers, both male and female, despite renewed charges of

misogyny in N.W.A lyrics and the film overlooking claims of Dr. Dre’s abuse of women.

In a statement Friday, the rapper and producer of “Straight Outta Compton” said: “I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

Of the weekend’s new releases, the low-budget horror sequel “Sinister 2” fared best, opening with an estimated $10.6 million for the Blumhouse production — well below the $18 million the 2012 original debuted with.

The result was good enough for third place, behind Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation,” which made $11.7 million in its fourth weekend of release.

Fox’s assassin thriller “Hitman: Agent 47,” the second attempt in eight years to adapt the popular video game, disappointed with $8.2 million. It will hope to do better abroad, where the 2007 original made $60.3 million. It began with $8.5 million over the weekend internationally.

Stewart takes on comedy ‘Star Trek’ captain now starring in ‘Blunt Talk’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick Stewart never really considered himself a funny guy.

After commanding a starship and a team of mutants in sci-fi and superhero franchises, Stewart’s newest mission is starring in his first-ever TV comedy.

With his role in Starz’ “Blunt Talk” as naughty newsman Walter Blunt, the classically trained theater actor is discovering at age 75 that he can make folks laugh.

“It’s a fairly recent development,” Stewart said earlier this summer on the show’s set during a break from filming a scene with guest star Jason Schwartzman.

“When I first worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company, I started in what’s called ‘low comedy’ roles, like Touchstone, Grumio and Lancelot. Then, something happened, and I was only playing

deeply disturbed kings and neurotics. I never really went back.”

While he’s best known as Professor Charles Xavier and Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the “X-Men” and “Star Trek” series, Stewart has spent more of his career onstage than in the X-Mansion or on the USS Enterprise. Besides

playing everyone from Claudius to Macbeth, he’s performed a oneman rendition of “A Christmas Carol” and finished a West End and Broadway run last year of Harold Pinter’s “No Man’s Land” and Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” with buddy Ian McKellen.

“It’s no different,” said

Stewart. “It’s just a lot more fun. I was talking about this with Jason.

The fundamentals don’t change because going for truth, realism and spontaneity is all still the objective, but now it’s also about going for humor.

‘Dead’ spinoff scores some big ratings for AMC NEW YORK (AP) — The new “Fear the Walking Dead,” which drew the biggest audience for any original series premiere on a cable network, proves that AMC has the flair for spinoffs.

An estimated 10.13 million people watched the premiere Sunday night, the Nielsen company said. The well-reviewed series is set in a different location and different time than AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

The previous record-holder for top cable series premiere, “Better Call Saul,” is AMC’s spinoff of the series “Breaking Bad.” “Fear the Walking Dead” had nearly double the viewers of the top scripted drama on network television, CBS’ “Zoo,” which was seen by 5.85 million last week. The gap was even wider among the 18-to49-year-old demographic most prized by advertisers.

The AMC show had 6.3 million viewers in this demographic; “Zoo” had 1.2 million, Nielsen said.

The ratings are “all the more special in this era of time-shifted viewing and audience fragmentation,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “None of it is possible without the fans, whose passion leads to these remarkable results.”

CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 5 million viewers. NBC had 4.5 million, ABC had 3.3 million, Fox had 2.8 million, Univision had 2 million, Telemundo had 1.5 million, ION Television had 1.2 million and the CW had 1.1 million.

For the week of Aug. 17-23, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “America’s Got Talent” (Tuesday), NBC, 10.86 million; “Fear the Walking Dead,” AMC, 10.13 million; “America’s Got Talent” (Wednesday), NBC, 9.12 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 8.34 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 7.56 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 6.82 million; “American Ninja Warrior,” NBC, 6.81 million; “Big Brother” (Wednesday), CBS, 6.52 million; “Big Brother” (Thursday), CBS, 6.48 million; “Big Brother” (Sunday), CBS, 6.15 million.

we’re only supposed to care about the white ones (criticism that was also lobbed at the similarly intense family-survival film, “The Impossible”).

While the movie does a borderline great job of creating and cashing in on its incredibly suspenseful energy, it can’t help but fall into predictable thriller pitfalls.

Attempting to insert motivation into the event somehow cheapens it, especially when Jack begins to find out the company he’s working for might actually be at fault. Ah yes, evil corporations taking over the world.

That sounds familiar.

If anything, the movie might get people thinking about the various messages that can be conveyed through film whether intentionally or not.

“No Escape” as a nerve-wracking thriller works. “No Escape” as a thoughtful comment on the delicate state of international politics doesn’t achieve its desired effect.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

There are two ways to approach “No Escape.” On the one hand, it’s undeniably intense offering up a geopolitical horror film about an American family stuck in the middle of a violent revolution.

On the other hand, it’s xenophobic nonsense disguised as a thriller.

Honestly, I’m torn.

Whichever side you might land on, at least we can all agree that the stunning title card splash for “No Escape” is one of the best of 2015. It’s the little pleasures, I suppose.

Back to the movie, the Dwyers — a goodlooking, prototypically wholesome white American family — are headed to a curiously unnamed Asian country. Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) is an engineer contracted to do some work for a water company. His wife Annie (Lake Bell) and his two daughters are willing but hesitant participants in the move.

The first 10 minutes of the movie play a little slow as it establishes that the Dwyers have completely lost the privilege they enjoyed back in the states. “Welcome to the Third World,” Jack jokes. His wife seriously retorts, “This is the Fourth World, Jack.”

REBEL ROUGH RIDERS Local 4x4 club heads to Mendon for first Extreme Barbie Jeep Race

Top, Richard Dildine, left, and Tanner Barrett race down the hillside during the Extreme Barbie Jeep Race last Saturday in Mendon. Above, Ron Anderson loses control of his ride on his way down the course.

You’ve never heard of extreme Barbie jeep racing? Neither had I. Of course, a Barbie jeep is every little tomboy’s dream. As a child of the ’80s, I remember begging my parents for a Barbie jeep. They were still fairly new when I finally got one. I wanted to keep it as clean and pristine as possible, barely ever driving it.

The crew of the Rocky Mountain Rebels, on the other hand, lives for mud and dirt and the grit of life covering the sides of their rigs. I got just a glimpse of their beloved activity last Saturday at the club’s first annual Extreme Barbie Jeep Race fundraiser in Mendon. The money that the club accrued as part of this fundraiser will either go to grow the club, or to raise money for a few of the club’s community outreach endeavors.

The Rocky Mountain Rebels have only been around since April, but the group has grown as a club quickly — 16 or 17 families from Utah and Idaho are now members. The Rebels have also amassed a following of community members and garnered support from across Cache Valley and all the way down to the Salt Lake area.

Club president Lolli Bunce said the Rocky Mountain Rebels try to provide affordable family-friendly events and “bring camaraderie to every aspect” of their lives.

Bunce said she was surprised when Cache Valley jeepers asked her to start a 4x4 club. A recent addition to Weston, Idaho, Bunce agreed. When she lived in Oregon, she was an active member in a 4x4 club, gaining experience with community outreach and local governmental dealings. Bunce said she began to meet other jeepers just by nature of the hobby and the friendliness of its supporters. She also said “keeping public lands public” is one of her life’s passions, and she knows this message will reach a larger

audience as part of the club’s goals.

On any given day you can find Bunce working beside her mom at the Miller Specialty Clinic in Nibley.

When she’s not tending to one of her hundreds of clients, she’s with her kids or husband jeeping or enjoying the benefits that family brings — that’s how Bunce lives her life: familyfocused. And that is what this year’s Barbie jeep race was all about.

I was curious about the club’s inspiration that led them to initiate this fundraiser. Bunce told me that when they elected a board of the Rocky Mountain Rebels, they all sat down to brainstorm fundraising ideas. Being a new club meant they’d need to do some sort of activity to both spread the word of their existence and to begin to get financial support.

When no one had an idea, Bunce pulled out her phone and showed the board a video of an event she saw put on by Busted Knuckle Productions — a race using plastic 4x4 jeeps. The club was immediately hooked on the idea. When RMR asked the production company for permission, Busted Knuckle gave an affirming yes, going so far as to allow the club to use the exact name: Extreme Barbie Jeep Racing — “call it what it is,” Busted Knuckle said.

And with this, as Bunce hopes, “this annual event” was born to Cache Valley.

As I headed out of Mendon and west toward the base of the Wellsvilles, I had no idea what to expect. I pulled into a field mildly littered with EZ-up canopies and the Bunces’ RV. RMR, in preparation for this fundraiser, had secured donated prizes, vendors, an announcer and even a spare jeep that they auctioned off to a crowd member itching to race.

There are some reflective themes in the exhibition such as Grace Meijer’s quilt “Remember.”

Meijer lives in the United Kingdom. The quilt was adapted from a photograph she took in Berlin, Germany, of the Gedaechtnis Kirche church built in the 1890s and badly damaged during a bombing raid in 1943. At the time it was decided not to rebuild the church, but preserve what was left as a memorial.

“Walter wants to change the world, but his private life is a complete disaster,” said Stewart. “That’s where a lot of the humor comes from in the show.

How can he possibly balance his journalistic passions and keep his life in somewhat reasonable order?”

The series is executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, who worked with Stewart on “Family Guy” and “American Dad,” and created by Jonathan Ames, who created the HBO comedy “Bored to Death.” Ames collaboratively fashioned the role of Blunt with Stewart.

“I wrote this show for Patrick Stewart and created the character for him. It was the actor first, then the character.

Afterward, Stewart noted such moments reaffirmed his decision to return to the grueling pace of TV production. He didn’t think he’d ever be back as a regular on a series after “Star Trek: The Next Generation” warped away over 20 years ago.

“It feels so good and so different,” he said. “I truly felt when ‘Next Generation’ ended in ‘94, I could not face that pressure and those hours anymore.

The idea of a half-hour comedy show had never been part of my game plan until Seth called me, and here I am.

munity family, too. Among the 21 racers in attendance, three were actual relatives: one son, husband and a brother.

The rules of the race: only five pretty relaxed musts.

• Racers must be over 18 years old.

• A helmet must be worn.

• Jeeps must be made from hard plastic • The motor must be taken

out.

• Jeeps must have some form of steering.

“I give it to the racers” Bunce said, “it’s a risky event.”

Every racer rolled — or bashed — down the hill with help from a “pusher.” Because the jeeps don’t have motors and are really pretty tiny for most of the racers, they need

Continued from Page 9 As for the race, it was held on privately-owned land.

“Wheelin’” isn’t permitted in the Wellsville Range because it’s designated as a wilderness, but a local landowner solved that problem. A large part of the RMR’s purpose is in prompting community action and support. Bunce sets a great example for community involvement, evidenced by the fact that one of her clients was the person who offered their land for the club’s use.

The race hill was steeper than I guessed, and made more terrifying when I was informed that the jeeps were stripped of motors, chassis and anything else capable of slowing them down.

I arrived at the race site early, only be greeted by a host of Bunce’s family, but she calls everyone in the com-

cerned and is already looking forward to next year’s race.

Organization of the event was done rather blindly, claims the club, although you’d never have known it. Nothing like this had ever been done by any of its members. They handed out thousand of fliers, posted signs all over town, posted everything they could on Facebook and social media and relied heavily on word of mouth. These tactics must have worked because the club saw a higher turnout than it expected.

When asked to give her impression of the First Annual Extreme Barbie Jeep Race, Bunce said she was happy with the turnout, hoping to make the inexpensive, family-friendly event an annual happening.

“People have already been begging us to bring this event back next year,” Lolli said.

“We’re pleased with the message we got out there.”

Plenty of racers walked away with “redneck braggin’ rights” she finished.

a bit of help to get started.

As bodies cram into the jeep seat, wrap their feet around the steering column and try not to mangle themselves too much, their pusher gives them a running start down the hill. On the first run, and subsequent runs, jeeps and bodies collide and roll around in clouds of dust.

Equipped with an announcer, food and snack vendors, 10-minute massage booth, and Beau and Garrett Smith’s 1/8inch steel cutout design booth, the RMR made this year’s event complete. The Smiths even donated a cutout as the prize for the racer who won “The Bash for the Last,” a last-minute, grab-all-the-spareparts-lying-around, grab-yourbusted-jeep-and-run-up-thehill, wipe-off-the-blood event.

And of course, there was the Racer’s Choice award of most gnarly wreck, and this high honor went to Bunce’s brother, Ron Anderson for a wreck that left him with a broken collarbone. He said he’s not too con-
