Evidence and Artifacts: Particle Matter 2.5 – “Waterways II” by Christopher M. Gauthier. In his new photo exhibit, the USU photography professor illustrates the “beautiful poison” known as Cache Valley in the wintertime. Through photos, he hopes to put into plain sight the unseen damage caused by local inversions. Read more about Gauthier on Page 8.

From the editor

KNOW YOU ARE ALL beside yourselves with excitement to see my photo back in Cache Magazine, but let’s all take a deep breath, relax, and just be thankful for my safe return. For my first column back, I (literally) have a bone to pick with many of you English speakers — wait? Literally? I’m “literally” going to pick a bone with you? Ew. I have a teacher at USU who uses the word “literally” to emphasize points, instead of using it for its literal, intended use. “If you do this, you will literally explode from excitement” (kind of like this morning when you saw I was back in the Cache Magazine rotation). Really? You’ll “literally” explode? That sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me. But seriously — “literally” is defined in Webster’s New World Dictionary as: “in a literal manner or sense; specif., a) a

word for word; not imaginatively, figuratively, or freely; b) actually; in fact.” There are so many writers who use this word incorrectly, and it’s just one of those pet peeves of mine (kind of like the misuse of “its” vs. “it’s,” not to mention “your” vs. “you’re” and “to” vs. “two” vs. “too”). But dictionary editor Jesse Sheidlower makes a good point that helps calm down my irritation: “It is not the first, nor will it be the last, instance of a word that is used in a seemingly contradictory way. There are many such words, and they arise through various means.” After doing a little research on the word (I’m a very busy, important person, in case you couldn’t tell), I think I might back off its usage a little bit. Read Sheidlower’s article, “The Word We Love to Hate (Literally),” at www.slate. com/id/2129105 and let me know what you think. Have a literally great weekend, everyone!

pet photo of the week

This dog is available for adoption! Pet: Jack From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: “Jack is a shy 6-monthold pittie/heeler mix. He would love to meet you but gets nervous with new people, especially when trapped in his kennel. He’s searching for a consistent, calm home with the time to finish his training and play with him. He needs more attention than he was able to get before, especially being as young as he is. He loves to play with balls and chew on bones and is playful with children and dogs once he gets to know them. He has not yet been house-trained, but he has started learning ‘sit,’ ‘down’ and ‘come.’” Jack’s ID number is 2010-9043. To meet him or any other animals up for adoption, call 792-3920 or drop by the shelter at 2370 W. 200 North in Logan.

Ag Week at USU boasts performance by Brenn Hill family anchored to OUNTRY SINGER BRENN the West and raised C Hill will perform as part of USU in Utah, Hill and his Agriculture Week at 7 p.m. Tuesday,

Sept. 14, in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom on campus. Tickets are $6 for students with valid ID and $8 for regular tickets, available through the USU Spectrum or TSC ticket offices by calling 797-0305. Singer/songwriter Brenn Hill doesn’t just sing about the American West, he reveals its heart to anyone who will take the time to listen. His most recent release, “Equine,” (2010) clearly defines what might be his most profound work to date, as well as a mirror of his growth as an artist over the last USU students who participated in the Vienna/Prague Arts Study Abroad Program were 10 years. exposed to the European landscape.

USU art students bring home pieces of Europe

NEW EXHIBIT at Utah State University features student work from the firstever Vienna/Prague Arts Study Abroad Program. Sponsored by the art department, the exhibit, “Here and There,” opens Monday, Sept. 13, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. in Studio 102 of the Chase Fine Arts Center at USU. Studio 102 is open from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The exhibit is free and open to the public. All artwork was created from, or influenced by, the environment, arts and culture of Austrian towns, cities and locations in and around Vienna, Salzburg, Linz, Melk, St. Gilgen and Hallstatt. Other locations featured in artwork include Prague and Budapest. The displayed art includes photography, installations, sculptures, graphics and paintings. Alan Hashimoto, associ-

ate professor of art in the Caine College of the Arts, led the study abroad program May 8 through June 2. Hashimoto said students spent 14 days in Vienna and surrounding areas. Students also took bike tours of the wine country in the Wachau Valley along the Danube River. Students also had the

opportunity to visit locations independently, including Hungary, England, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Greece and France. Hashimoto said this particular study-abroad trip was a “maiden voyage” and focused on encouraging students to see and experience first-hand foreign environments, historic sites, other cultures, art and design. “The program took a closer look at other cultures because students lived in locally run housing, ate local food and used public transportation systems,” he said. Hashimoto believes his students were prepared for their summer study-abroad trip by taking a required, semester-long, USU-based class held in conjunction with the program where they learned about Austria, Vienna, surrounding areas and Prague before the actual trip.

Celebrate America with music, dancing, Hollywood

ICKETS FOR THE FINAL T two performances of this year’s Celebrate America show and dance can

be purchased at the door to the USU Ballroom. For more information, call 753-1551. Don’t miss this star-spangled celebration of Hollywood. After the show, guests will enjoy dancing, or just listening, to all their favorite big-band tunes from Glenn Miller to Tommy Dorsey with the Larry Smith Orchestra and Singers. During World War II, patriotism soared in the United States, and Hollywood stars gave America more than 70 medals in honor of their valor. This year’s Celebrate America Show, “Hooray For Hollywood,” is set in 1942 with

a musical salute to the stars and movies from Hollywood’s famous Coconut Grove, where the biggest stars of the era — Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, along with the amazing singers, dancers and Larry Smith Orchestra — are out to sell war bonds. Packed with award-winning music, the show highlights how Hollywood helped America escape the difficult days of WWII and gave the USA real-life heroes in a time of need. From the average citizen to the biggest names in show business, everyone wanted to “do their part” to help the war effort, and many did by purchasing War Bonds at the Coconut Grove — a hotspot for movie stars and star-gazers alike.

Film Still playing “The American” Rated R ★★★ Hidden from critics until just before its release, the dirty secret about Anton Corbijn’s movie turns out to be that it’s an “art film.” Heavens, no! Corbijn, a famed photographer and music video director whose first film was 2007’s “Control,” has crafted a quiet, haunting European thriller, drained of emotion and moving at its own deliberate pace. George Clooney plays Jack, an assassin who builds highly precise rifles with the care of an artisan. He’s laying low in a stone labyrinth of a town in Abruzzo, the mountainous region in Italy. Though he’s supposed to be fully hardened, Jack slowly reveals weak spots for love, companionship and, yes, butterflies, one of which he has tattooed on his back. That “The American” is beautiful to look at is unquestionable; Corbijn’s formal mastery is something to behold. What is finally slightly disappointing in the film is the familiarity of its story: another tale of “one last job.” It’s difficult not to want Corbijn’s mournful seriousness to ease up a bit, but “The American” is transfixing in its muted grace. R for violence, sexual content and nudity. 105 min. “Going the Distance” Rated R ★1⁄2 Drew Barrymore and Jason Long star as two young, ambitious hipsters so similar that they might as well have the same brain. As soon as they meet, their patter and laughter is nonstop, and after close to two hours with them, you may start wishing for mechanical troubles on one of the cross-country flights that connects their longdistance relationship. The film, directed by documentarian Nanette Burstein, charts the trials of early 30s love, strained by logistics and the recession. The main alteration to the simple formula of “Going the Distance” is a heavy insertion of R-rated humor. Most of the crudeness comes from the supporting cast, largely populated by comedians: Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Jim Gaffigan, Rob Riggle, Kristen Schall and Christina Applegate

in comedy mode. All the best bits come from this crew, but the tone still feels out of place. It’s as though Burstein tried to surround a sappy rom-com with Judd Apatow-inspired yucks. R for sexual content, including dialogue, language throughout, some drug use and brief nudity. 103 min. “Machete” Rated R ★★1⁄2 Robert Rodriguez extends the fake “Machete” trailer from his and Quentin Tarantino’s “Grindhouse” double-feature into a full-length revenge romp, maintaining a fair amount of the wicked humor and every bit of the savage bloodshed the makebelieve ad promised. Danny Trejo stars as a former Mexican federal cop on a rampage of vengeance against drug dealers, brutal politicians and other bad guys. Viewers get precisely what they’re paying for: beheadings, skewerings and kill shots to the head by the dozen. They also get a crazy range of supporting players — Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan — all having a ball committing atrocities. Like most of Rodriguez’s movies, this one’s never as fun or funny as he thinks it is. There are clever wisecracks and stunts, but much of the violence is repetitive, and the movie lapses into indolence between action sequences. The good news for fans: there isn’t all that much downtime between the relentless action. R for strong bloody violence throughout, language, some sexual content and nudity. 105 min. “Nanny McPhee Returns” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 The Nanny McPhee movies may be principally for kids, but make no mistake about it: They are, quite literally, a parent’s dream. Overwhelmed single parents with unruly kids are rescued by a magical nanny (Emma Thompson) who seemingly appears out of nowhere. And at no cost! For some older moviegoers escorting little ones, this premise might be impossibly alluring. And they said fans of “Avatar” were depressed when they left the theater. This sequel

to 2005’s “Nanny McPhee” (both penned by Thompson, adapting Christianna Brand’s Nurse Matilda books) largely keeps the original’s formula. McPhee, a witch-looking fairy godmother of tough love, comes to the aid of a parent trying to manage a litter of kids alone (Maggie Gyllenhaal, filling Colin Firth’s shoes). McPhee obviously owes much to P.L. Travers’ Mary Poppins, but there’s still a warm, British naturalism to the film and an old-fashioned cheerfulness uncommon to most of

today’s kids movies. With Rhys Ifans as a brother-in-law scoundrel, and Maggie Smith as a ditzy shopkeeper. PG for rude humor, some language and mild thematic elements. 109 min. “The Last Exorcism” Rated PG-13 ★★★ One of the scariest movies to come along in a long time — until the last five minutes or so, when it completely falls apart. Director Daniel Stamm’s faux documentary starts out with deadpan delivery and a dry

sense of humor, then it turns riveting, then truly frightening, then just plain silly. It’s like it morphs from being a Christopher Guest movie to “The Blair Witch Project.” Until then, the filmmakers keep you guessing as to what’s real and what’s imagined, what’s a disturbing mental disorder and what’s actually demonic possession. And the fact that this Eli Roth production uses all unknown actors helps us get sucked into this eerie world. Evangelical Louisiana preacher Cotton Marcus

“The Switch” Rated PG-13 ★ Not a single moment rings true in “The Switch,” which is unfortunate because it’s actually about a situation in which a lot of women find themselves. Jennifer Aniston’s character, Kassie, is a single, 40-year-old New York TV producer who wants to have a baby but doesn’t want to wait around for a man — or worse yet, the wrong man — to make that happen. So she turns to a sperm donor, only to have her longtime best friend, the uptight stock trader Wally (Jason Bateman), switch the specimens in a drunken stupor. Why, you may be wondering, does Wally even have access to the cup that contains the makings of Kassie’s future child? Because the whole deal is going down at an insemination party thrown by the movie’s obligatory wacky best friend (Juliette Lewis), complete with jokey turkey basters. Like most situations — and like the similarly hokey “The Back-up Plan” from earlier this year, starring Jennifer Lopez — this one is played in broad, sitcommy fashion, utterly divorced from the way people behave in real life. PG-13 for mature thematic content, sexual material including dialogue, some nudity, drug use and language. 100 min. — All reviews by The Associated Press

“C

HECKERED” would be too kind of a way to characterize Rob Reiner’s recent filmography as a director. His last decade has included the romantic comedies “Rumor Has It ...” and “Alex & Emma,” and his last film, 2007’s’ “The Bucket List.” It’s been a while since his incredible start in the 1980s: “This Is Spinal Tap,” “The Sure Thing,” “Stand by Me,” “The Princess Bride” and “When Harry Met Sally ...” Reiner’s latest, “Flipped,” has been billed as a return to form for the director and a companion piece to “Stand By Me.” Like that film, “Flipped” is a coming-of-age ode to youth cloaked in mid-century Americana (the early 1960s). It’s a kind of film that’s nostalgic for nostalgia. There’s charm here and some honest observations of adolescence. But there’s also a willful, cloying datedness to the movie — like a lost episode of “The Wonder Years” or an “Archie” comic strip. “Flipped” — and its ’50s/’60s jukebox soundtrack — opens with Curtis Lee’s “Pretty Little Angel Eyes” and a close-up of young Juli Baker (Morgan Lily as 7-year-old old Juli, Madeline Carroll for most of the film). She’s there on Bonnie Meadow Lane to greet her new neighbors moving in, and she immediately falls for Bryce Loski (Ryan Ketzner as young Bryce, Callan McAuliffe predominantly) and his “dazzling eyes.” He responds by hiding behind his mother, and continues to go to extremes to avoid Juli: “My life had become a minefield,” he says. The film tracks these two through childhood, spending most of the time at 13 years old, when Bryce is beginning to soften to Juli’s long-held crush. Reiner co-wrote the script with Andrew Scheinman (a producer from many of Reiner’s best), adapting Wendelin Van Draanen’s 2001 young adult novel. Though Reiner has shifted the book’s present-day

Aisle Seat By The Associated Press

★★ “Flipped” Rated PG setting, he has kept its central device: switching back and forth between the perspectives of Bryce and Juli, each narrating their version of the same events. Reiner flips the image with a “whoosh!” Perspective is the plaything of “Flipped.” Juli — idealistic and preternaturally wise — keeps a

sacred perch atop a neighborhood sycamore tree. Bryce’s family (Anthony Edwards plays his cynical father, Rebecca De Mornay his kinder mother) judges Juli’s family (Aidan Quinn as her likable father, Penelope Ann Miller as her mother) for their ugly front lawn. Bryce comes to see Juli differently after his

grandfather (John Mahoney), observing his late wife in her, rhapsodizes that she’s “iridescent.” The strength of “Flipped” is in its trueness to humdrum adolescence. It’s filled not with extravagant dramas, but instead portrays how seemingly minor happenings take on grand meaning: the tragic tearing down of the cherished tree, the terrifying formality of a sit-down dinner, the frightening awkwardness of nearly everything. But the “flipped” device becomes a contrivance that doesn’t hide the movie’s lack of emotional momentum. Though it makes clumsy stabs at life’s difficulties with a mentally retarded brother-in-law and an out-of-place bit of domestic violence, the film lacks the darkness of “Stand By Me” — and its jokes, too. It relies too much on “Leave it to Beaver” period fetishizing: bicycles on the front lawn, neatly parted hair, baseball pennants on a boy’s wall, white people everywhere. But among the frequently loud, chaotic films aimed at young adults, “Flipped” is a mostly welcome if still somewhat disappointing inversion. “Flipped,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release, is rated PG for language and some thematic material. Running time: 90 minutes. Two stars out of four.

(Patrick Fabian) has been performing exorcisms for the past 25 years but he knows they’re all a sham. He long ago lost his faith, and for a while has had no qualms about taking money from true believers in the name of supporting his own family. Now, with his conscience weighing on him, he lets a camera crew come behind the scenes to expose his tricks as he “performs” one last exorcism. Fabian finds the balance in his character’s conflicting motivations, and Ashley Bell is extraordinary as the teenager who’s been acting strangely. PG-13 for disturbing violent content and terror, some sexual references and thematic material. 88 min.

A mix

“Backhoe and Combine”

By Joey Hislop

here are few things more visually breathtaking than Cache Valley in the wintertime. Unfortunately, our beautiful little valley has also for years been home to some of the most toxic winter air in the country. A stunning mix of beauty and poison. Cache Valley’s air problem, as well as its main causes, are the focal point of Utah State University photography professor Christopher M. Gauthier’s latest exhibit — “Evidence and Artifacts: Particle Matter 2.5” — on display now at USU’s Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. Gauthier uses his visual medium to bring to people’s attention the unseen danger of air pollution. What look like photos of the valley’s frozen majesty are actually not just photos, he explained. “I’m taking some creative liberty ... to amplify the real problem, which is this particle, this teeny-tiny little particle,” Gauthier said. “We can’t see it with the naked eye. We can’t touch it, but it is affecting us as we sit in that space. ... You’re not actually looking at a photograph anymore; what you’re

“Bird’s Wing and Manhole”

looking at are layers of bitmaps that have been built in Photoshop. ... They go all the way down from 900 dots per inch all the way to in some cases one-fourth of a dot per inch. “... The reason I’m doing it is so that the viewer can physically relate the environment, the issue, to their body. It uses that empathetic response that we naturally have that maybe in a straight photograph would get lost.” Since moving to Cache Valley two years ago, the artist was first taken in by the scenery, only to be alarmed by how his lungs felt after shooting on what he later learned was a red air day. “I must’ve spent two hours out the first time, and I realized my lungs were really heavy,” Gauthier said of his first time shooting the Cache Valley inversion. “I lived in Chicago for a really long time ... so I knew the feeling that the pollution was causing, and I thought, ‘This is really weird. I mean, I’m in the middle of a fog field in winter. This doesn’t make sense.’” After going home and doing a little research, he realized he was smack-dab in the middle of one of the most polluted areas in the nation, and per-

haps the world. “Cache Valley, this gorgeous little place, is equated in its pollution levels to Los Angeles, Reno, Nev., Sao Paulo, and to several other places around the world which are actually some of the worst,” Gauthier said. “So we’re in with the big leagues where there are millions of people living, and there’s less than 100,000 people here.” Upon looking further into the problem, Gauthier discovered that in addition to the usual polluters — SUVs, factories, etc. — one of the biggest and most unique factors in the area’s bad air is provided by industrial farming and livestock. In fact, according to Gauthier, livestock makes up 50 percent of the problem. “As the work progressed, and as I started researching more and more, I found out that almost half of the problem is livestock,” Gauthier said. “That one really blew my mind. ... It’s the other side we’re not ever willing to look at or face. ... This work is really about trying to call to attention what the phenomenon is.” While Gauthier is eager to raise awareness of the issue of Cache Valley’s air problems,

“Cattle”

he hopes to do so effectively, creating a dialogue rather than an argument. If that can happen, he says, it will have a ripple effect for places across the globe dealing with similar problems. “I think the crucial thing is that we can sit down and we can have a conversation,” Gauthier said. “A forum needs to happen. And as a community — both an academic community and a research community, but also the community as a whole — we have to come together. We have to decide what we’re going to do, because if we can fix what happens here in Cache Valley, we set the precedent for what happens globally.” And there’s more at stake than just air quality, Gauthier says, pointing to some troubling trends in Cache Valley and Utah. “Cache Valley, and Utah in general, I think is the environmental canary in the coal mine,” Gauthier said. “We have here the largest population of autistic children. Not just classically autistic, but the entire spectrum of autism disorders ... and one of the largest populations of asthma and cardiovascular disease. I kinda wonder why.”

“Sod” Gauthier is not LDS, but he was quick to praise the LDS Church for the role it’s playing in figuring out a solution to the problem, especially considering the church’s ability to do independent research. “The biggest research to solve our problem here, specifically in Cache Valley, but also in other parts of Utah, isn’t being forefronted by the government, it’s not being

“Waterways II” group in the United States is the farming industry, so research dollars can get stopped pretty fast if you start calling them to task on it. The church isn’t stuck by that. They’re one of the largest independent organizations in the world financially. If they want to research something, they can do it. ... I think we need them to stand up and say, ‘This is how we’re going to move forward.’”

“

A season suitable for all styles of wine

EPTEMBER IS one of my favorite months. I know autumn is coming with the bright colors of foliage, but summer hangs on with a few warm days. I have been in the Midwest and Northeast during their peak color season, but for me there is no comparison to a perfect autumn in Utah when the scrub and aspen overlap. Later in the valleys we have the urban trees finishing off the season. This is also a great time for enjoying wine. There are days when a chilled rosé or sauvignon blanc are just right, and then on the cool days I begin to dream of the sherry and port wine drinking that comes with autumn and winter. It is the season suitable for all of the different styles of wine. Have you examined the east wall of the Logan Liquor Store recently? Those big box wines are over there along with some really bad cheap wines. Some of the box wines like Black Box get good reviews, and the wine stays fresh for weeks. For me, different wines are part of the spice of evening dinners so I would never buy a box wine — this would like eating chicken every night for week. On this strange east wall to the left of the box wines you will find some small bottles of highly rated dessert wines. One

that caught my eye and I plan to drink with cooler weather is the Chateau Reyella Old Cave Tawny Port at $15 for 500 ml. This beautiful port from Australia was aged for 12 years. I love the description from the Wine Spectator that all the flavors “float beautifully through the finish, which remains rich and plush.” They give it a rating of 92, better than most port wines in the regular section of the store. The sherry wines have been moved from the regular racks to far left of the east wall. Now I call that a strange collection of beverages. All of the Lustau wines are rated at 90 or above. There is a gem in the Lustau Amontillado del Puerto Sherry at $16.50. Let me say it is the best amontillado I have ever tasted. To reach the east wall you will have to go around the good selection of beers, which unfortunately have never been refrigerated. Until recently I never associated pinot gris with American wineries. Last month I purchased a very nice 2008 Pinot Gris from King Estates in Oregon at $14.95. I could not find the wine upon returning to the liquor store, but it is still in the DABC price list at $17.95. I did buy the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris at $11.99 from Washington State. Both

Cache Wines By William Moore

wines had crisp pear and peach flavors more robust than Italian Pinot Gris wines. This was one of those wines I had to resist going for more than two glasses in an evening. I am now a convert to West Coast Pinot Gris. These two wines are rated 90 and 88 respectively by the Wine Spectator. It is difficult to find any red wine with better quality and price than the grenache and grenache blends from Spain and France. I keep returning to the wonderful 2007 Capcanes Mas Donis Barrica at $11.99 from

Recommended F Reyella Old Cave Tawny Port at $15 F Lustau Amontillado del Puerto Sherry at $16.50 F 2008 King Estates Signature Pinot Gris at $17.95 F 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris at $11.99 F 2007 Capcanes Mas Donis Barrica at $11.99 F 2007 Tres Picos Garnacha at $17.95 F 2007 Perrin Cotes du Rhone Villages at $12.99 F 2008 d’Arenberg Stump Jump at $9.99

Spain. I served this at a wine tasting where most the drinkers were not familiar with grenache wines, and this wine was a hit. With dark berry flavors, the wine is aged for eight months in oak and bottled without fining or filtration. The Mas Donis is 85 percent grenache and 15 percent syrah. Another Spanish pure grenache is the 2007 Tres Picos Garnacha at $17.95. Although rated slightly higher, I prefer the Mas Donis, but this is a great wine value.

Some of the great and expensive southern Rhone wines are mainly grenache blends, but here we have good value and flavor in the 2007 Perrin Cotes du Rhone Villages at $12.99. This wine is 50/50 grenache and syrah and comes from the same family that produces some of best Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine in France. Compare the French idea of a grenache blend with the Spanish version. While we only have a few Rhone red wines, the wine stores in Salt Lake and Park City have a large selection. Another red wine for great value is the 2008 d’Arenberg Stump Jump at $9.99 from Australia. Although rated at 90, I consider this wine to be less complex than the grenache blends from France and Spain. The Stump Jump wines have been on a run of good vintages since 2006.

16th Arrington Lecture looks back at namesake

HE 16TH ANNUAL T Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture

Leonard J. Arrington

returns to its roots with a look back at its namesake and the opening of his diary at Special Collections and Archives at Utah State University. Next month’s lecture will feature two of Arrington’s children, Susan Arrington Madsen and Carl Arrington, in a presentation they have titled “A Paper Mountain: The Extraordinary Diary of Leonard James Arrington.”

Their father and his diary will provide the foundation for the lecture. USU’s Merrill-Cazier Library, host of the lecture, houses the personal and historical collections of the late Leonard Arrington, renowned scholar of the American West. As part of his gift to the university, Arrington requested the historical collection also become the focus of an annual lecture on an aspect of Mormon history. Honoring that request, the Leonard J.

Arrington Mormon History Lecture Series was established in 1985. Included in the Arrington Collection is his personal diary, a document that became available to the public in 2010. The 2010 Arrington Lecture officially marks the diary’s public opening. During a long and distinguished career, Arrington was a professor of economics at USU, church historian for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

and director of the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Church History at BYU. He was the author of numerous books and articles. Through its evolution, the Arrington lecture has become a popular and successful event that has featured many of the top Mormon history scholars from across the country. The series has also grown into an annual community lecture that attracts hundreds of attendees.

Book reviews

Killer stalks teens in ‘Fever of the Bone’ By The Associated Press

HEN SERIAL crime fiction is done well, readers can drop into any installment and within a few chapters, understand nearly everything about the primary characters and their relationship with one another. And so it is with Val McDermid’s Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series, of which “Fever of the Bone” is the sixth book. (Readers unfamiliar with the series might know the BBC’s “Wire in the Blood,” which is based on these novels.) Hill is a brilliant criminal profiler, if a little socially inept. He knows what’s expected of him in conversation and interpersonal relationships, but he isn’t always able to give it. This

hasn’t harmed either his working or personal relationship with Detective Chief Inspector Jordan, who heads up a special investigative team with the Bradfield Police. There’s a hint of sexual tension between Hill and Jordan, but it skims the surface of a deeper connection between them. In “Fever of the Bone” (the title, as with the other Hill/Jordan books, comes from a T.S. Eliot poem), McDermid takes what is by now a fairly familiar (and possibly tired) plot — an Internet predator preying on teenagers — and gives it a good yank. This time around, a serial killer is using a Facebook/ MySpace-like social network called RigMarole (it’s both amusing and plausible that

Rig is what appears after Facebook’s popularity wanes) to pick out a selection of teenagers who don’t seem to have any connection to one another

— they live in different cities, don’t know each other, are different ages and sexes. Yet they’re all approached in similar ways by someone claiming to know their big secret, and they’re all murdered and mutilated in the same way. McDermid builds suspense in a few delicious ways. She introduces the victims before they are taken, so readers learn what their family life is like, what they desire and by what means their killer reaches out to them. These scenes are scattered throughout the book, placed so expertly that just when readers have been lulled into a nice stretch of solid detective work, there’s a new kid, and the race to stop another murder begins afresh. Watching Jordan’s team catch up with events, done both

with high-tech computer wizardry and old-school footwork, is riveting. Most notably, there is no sort of serial-killer internal monologue, save for the somewhat perplexing brief prologue that will, of course, make sense as the mystery unfolds. Nor do readers witness any crime scene or potential target from the killer’s perspective. Readers know only what Hill, Jordan and the police force in other districts find out, and it’s both surprising and refreshing in the midst of all the mysteries that do spend time in their villains’ heads to note how effective McDermid’s approach is in ramping up tension.

Stephen Hawking suggests his ‘theory of everything’ By The Associated Press

OSMOLOGISTS, the people who study the entire cosmos, will want to read British physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking’s new book. “The Grand Design” may sharpen appetites for answers to questions like “Why is there something rather than nothing?” and “Why do we exist?” — questions that have troubled thinking people at least as far back as the ancient Greeks. Hawking likes the tale of the old lady who accused a lecturing cosmologist of talking nonsense: She knew for a fact that the whole universe lies on a flat plate, borne on the back

of an enormous turtle. “What does the turtle stand on?” the lecturer asked. “Another turtle,” she replied. “It’s turtles all the way down.” For some readers, the answer from Hawking, known for his work on black holes and author of the best-selling “A Brief History of Time,” and physicist Leonard Mlodinow, may not be much more satisfying. The “grand design,” says Hawking, is to be found in Mtheory, an idea launched in the mid-1990s. Annoyingly, there’s no agreement on what the “M’’ stands for. The authors suggest “master,” “miracle” or “mystery.” Others have also been proposed, but none of these names

offers the layman much help in answering the basic questions. “According to M-theory,

ours is not the only universe. Instead, M-theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing. Their creation does not require the intervention of some supernatural being or god,” the book says. “Rather, these multiple universes arise naturally from physical law.” This idea may trouble anyone who was fair at high school math but didn’t major in the subject in college. “M-theory has solutions,” the book says later, “that allow for many different internal spaces, perhaps as many as 10 (followed by 500 zeros), which means it allows for 10 (followed by 500 zeros) different universes, each with its own laws.”

A layman may wonder if one of those multitudinous laws might furnish a simple explanation of why something exists instead of nothing — and also wonder if there might be no such law in any of the possible universes. Hawking writes that Mtheory is a unified “theory of everything” that Albert Einstein was looking for but never found. “If the theory is confirmed by observation, it will be the successful conclusion of a search going back more than 3,000 years. We will have found the grand design.”

5 most explosive music documentaries By The Associated Press

HERE ARE MUSIC documentaries that are all about the music — concert films that focus solely on the artistry and thrill of live performance — and then there are juicy ones that are all about backstage ego and volatility. “I’m Still Here,” which follows Joaquin Phoenix’s tumultuous transformation from Oscar-nominated actor to shaggy, doughy rapper, would seem to fall into the latter category — if it truly is a documentary, that is, and not an elaborate put-on. Here are some other examples of serious rock-star behavior:

“Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back” (1967): A classic from legendary documentarian D.A. Pennebaker, this behindthe-scenes look at the 23-yearold Dylan set the standard for this kind of film. It’s got all that famous imagery: the blackand-white verite photography, Dylan standing there tossing away cue cards with the lyrics to “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” All impish charisma and childish impulse, Dylan tours England in 1965 with Joan Baez and Donovan, tussles with reporters and forges

one of the many facets of his persona we’d come to know, or at least think we know. “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” parodies this time in Dylan’s life with dead-on hilarity.

redemption and the challenges that come with continuing a career in your 40s. The members of Metallica fight, record their album “St. Anger,” fight some more, and eventually find some kind of peace. The film is so nonjudgmental — and often so insightful — it never falls into “Spinal Tap”-style parody.

“I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” (2002): Visually similar to “Don’t Look Back” with its grainy, blackand-white cinematography, this documentary began life as an up-close depiction of the Chicago band Wilco as it stood on the brink of stardom. It ended up being an indictment of the corporations that run the recording industry. Led by singersongwriter Jeff Tweedy, the band records its fourth album, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” only to reach an impasse with the label over its content. Frustrations lead to infighting. But director Sam Jones’ film also functions beautifully in its performance scenes, whether in the intimacy of rehearsal or on stage, where Wilco enjoys a cult-like fan following.

“Gimme Shelter” (1970): Another classic from another legendary documentarian, Albert Maysles. Here, the volatility doesn’t just exist back-

stage, it permeates every scene, swelling as the film leads up to its explosive climax: the Rolling Stones’ concert at Altamont, where a clash between Hell’s Angels and fans results in death. Maysles follows the band’s 1969 tour, and the feeling of dread is inescapable; the fact that we know what’s coming at the end in no way depletes it of its suspense. Mick Jagger tries to quell tensions from the stage, but even being a sexy and charming rock star does no good in a violent crowd of hundreds of thousands. The band’s reac-

tion to the footage afterward is chilling.

“Metallica: Some Kind of Monster” (2004): A riveting look at a turbulent time in the monstrously popular metal band’s history. You don’t have to be a Metallica fan to enjoy this movie (though there are plenty of recording sessions to watch if you are). Through the group’s brutally honest therapy sessions, filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky tell a story of loyalty, communication,

“Madonna: Truth or Dare” (1991): A striking mix of black and white with bursts of color during the concert scenes, which seems fitting for Madonna, given the dramatically fluctuating images of herself she presents to the world. Director Alek Keshishian follows Madonna on her grueling 1990 Blond Ambition tour and provides many of the moments we’ve come to associate with the pop star: the pre-show prayer circles, the sex games with her dancers, the backstage dissing of Kevin Costner. She’s always fully aware she’s being filmed, of course — don’t kid yourself that you’re seeing the “real” Madonna. As “herself,” though, she certainly gives a better performance than she did in “Swept Away.” And if it doesn’t happen on camera for Madonna, as Warren Beatty astutely observes, it may as well not happen at all.

Film

Colorado filmmaker on ghost hunt for paranormal

By The Associated Press

OVELAND, COLO., L resident Bill Chappell did not wake up one morning and

decide to go find some ghosts. But consulting jobs in engineering led him to work with equipment used in paranormal research and sparked his interest in documentary filming. “I don’t get scared,” Chappell said. “Do I believe people are having experiences? I absolutely do. I just don’t know what it ends up being.”

The 51-year-old is filming two documentaries about paranormal activity, “Three Legs Down,” or “3LD,” and “Ghosts of Loveland.” The first is the story of a Fort Collins group of paranormal investigators and their experiments with paranormal activity. The group sets up experiments at the Loveland Feed and Grain building and other private and downtown Loveland locations, which Chappell films. He plans to winnow 100 to 150 hours of video into 44 min-

utes of film, which, with commercials, will last one hour. “It takes a lot to get what you want,” Chappell said. Randy Schneider, a Fort Collins resident involved with the filming of “3LD,” likes Chappell’s attention to detail. “I think he gets across the message, the effect that he wants,” Schneider said. “There is a paranormal community out there who is interested in seeing what other researchers or people are doing in this field.” Chappell’s second film will

tell the ghost stories of Loveland. He is seeking the help of local residents to obtain the city’s ghost stories and local folklore. “There are a lot of interesting stories in Loveland. There is a tremendous amount of history,” Chappell said. Chappell, who plans to begin filming in September, is seeking firsthand ghost stories for his one-hour film, either from those who have had a paranormal experience or lived or worked where the activity occurred, he said. He expects the filming will

take until the end of the year. “It takes me longer. I don’t like to rush it,” Chappell said. In 2006, Chappell founded Digital Dowsing to build equipment for paranormal experiments, including for films. Some of the documentaries he worked on were low budget and on a fast schedule of two to three days. He figured he could take more time on his own films, he said. “I’m trying to take my time and have fun with the whole process,” Chappell said.
