CALENDAR 15 See what’s happening this week
Once upon a time, the start of the fall television season got America as excited as the start of the fall football season. Not so much anymore. With the success of original TV shows on alternative networks like HBO and AMC, the lines have become extremely blurred. Some of the best viewing options now start their short runs (say, eight or 10 episodes) in January or the middle of March or early June. In addition, now you might have the option to watch an entire season of a show at once on Netflix, or
you might just be addicted to reality shows like “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and have no interest in scripted comedies and dramas. Then there’s the fact that the big networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox now have a tendency to pull the plug on a floundering new show before the end credits roll. That makes it extremely difficult to want to invest the time in watching a new show because even if you love it, there’s a good chance the rest of America doesn’t love it enough to keep off the network’s chopping block. My suggestion? Assuming you have enough space on your DVR, just pick three or four new shows that feel have potential and record the first five or six episodes. Then during those first couple
of months, keep an eye on the ratings and check for Internet for any signs of positive buzz. If things start looking bleak, you can simply delete the DOA shows you recorded without feeling like you’ve wasted a lot of time getting attached to a program destined to be gone by Christmas. I did that last fall season with “Last Resort,” which I thought looked pretty promising. Apparently not enough other people did, though, and ABC announced in mid-November that it wasn’t going to renew the show, and the last “Last Resort” aired in January. Was it a good TV drama? I’ll never know because, for better or worse, I never officially tuned in.

Jessop eyes new season American Festival Chorus returns with Family Pops Concert By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
The victim of a brutal cold and numerous speaking engagements, Craig Jessop found it difficult to find his voice at the beginning of an interview in his office at Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts. But once the artistic director and conductor of the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra started to talk about the AFCO’s upcoming season, Jessop found it much easier to vocalize his thoughts. “It you look at our season — pops, veterans, Christmas, gospel and Brahms — it’s really diverse,” Jessop declares. “It has something for everybody.” The 2013-14 season will begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, with a different type of performance than the eight-year-old American Festival Chorus and Orchestra has ever done before. The AFOC will host a Family Pops Concert at the Kent Concert Hall which will feature selections from Disney films such as “The Lion King” and “Fantasia,” as well as other favorites such as the theme from “Star Wars.” The Family Pops Concert is completely geared towards providing a family friendly experience, and children will even be encouraged to wear Halloween costumes.
“ I predict that next week Putin, emboldened by his recent success, dares President Obama to lick a frozen flagpole. It is unclear if it will be a double-dog dare.” – Dennis Hinkamp expressing a desire to keep the Internet “free and weird” (Page 11)
PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

“It’s about building new audiences and reaching the younger generation,” Jessop explains. “We thought a children’s concert would be a great way to, year after year, make new friends. So, that’s the philosophy behind it.
“We feel it’s not only our mission to bring in great cultural activities, but to entertain and to teach, as well. It should be a wonderful, fun evening for the entire family.” On Monday, Nov. 11, the
AFCO will present its sixth annual Veterans Day Memorial at the Kent Concert Hall. A free event hosted in conjunction with USU’s American Legion Post, the memorial is designed to honor the community’s veterans and “is one of our biggest events of the year,” according to Jessop. The American Festival Chorus will also present three Christmas concerts See SEASON on Page 13

all mixed up A taste of Patrick McManus
‘A Fine and Pleasant Misery’ coming to Dayton Sept. 27 West Side Performing Arts presents the first of all The McManus Comedies, “A Fine and Pleasant Misery,” by Patrick F. McManus, starring Pat’s indentured actor, Tim Behrens at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, at the Dahle Performing Arts Center, 800 N. West Side Hwy. in Dayton. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and $30 per family. Tickets are available at the door or at the West Side School District Office. Call (208) 7473502 for more information. The one-man show introduces 12 zany McManus characters, from Rancid Crabtree to daft old Mrs. Swisher, from Strange the Dog to a deer on a bicycle. Join Pat and his sidekick Crazy Eddie Muldoon as they try to conquer their fear of the dark so they can become mountain men. Watch Rancid Crabtree convince you that baths are bad because soap and water will eat holes in your protective crust. Listen as Pat explains how to execute a proper full-bore linear panic
and its cousin, modified stationary panic. See Mr. and Mrs. Muldoon react to Pat and Crazy Eddie’s airplane as it teeters on the barn roof headed straight towards oblivion. And learn how not to hunt your first deer with nothing more than a bicycle. The McManus Comedies are family friendly, hilarious stories about growing up in rural America when you’re dirt poor (dirt being the only toy you can afford), and when the adults in your life get nervous every time they pass you on the street. McManus is one of the most popular humor writers in the country. His 23 titles have sold more than six million copies, and five of his collections of short humor have made the top 10 of the New York Times Best Sellers list. The West Side Performing Arts Committee wishes to thank the F. M., Anne G. and Beverly B. Bistline Foundation Philanthropic Gift Fund for their generous support of this performance.
Sara Grey coming to Logan Sept. 28

Logan Fine Gallery opens Salon d’Automne tonight The Logan Fine Art Gallery presents the 2013 Salon d’Automne. An opening night gala is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight, to start off the exhibit, and all are invited to share in the excitement of the moment. An awards ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m. Now in its third year, the Salon d’Automne is the Logan Fine Art Gallery’s annual competition and top artists from Utah, Idaho Logan Fine Art’s Salon d’Automne opens tonight. and California have submitted oil
paintings, watercolors, acrylics, sculpture and other media. The artwork will be on display from Sept. 20 through Dec. 28. This year’s show was juried by Ryan S. Brown, a renowned Utah artist. In 1667, Louis XIV began a tradition in France of fall salons, in which annual displays of French artists showed their works. It gave new prestige to a kind of art presentation that became an annual event by 1737. The works of members of the Académie royal
de peinture et de sculpture were exhibited in a room in the Louvre called the Salon d’Appollon, from which the word “salon” is derived. The fall salon is held to draw artists and their art to Cache Valley, and also help collectors to become aware that Logan is a source for fine art. The Logan Fine Art Gallery at 60 W. 100 North is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Visit www.loganfineart gallery.com for more information.
Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts’ first theater production of the season, “The Learned Ladies,” hits the Caine Lyric Theatre stage at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24-28. “This comedy by Molière is rather sly,” said Leslie Brott, professor in the Department of Theatre Arts and production director. “You receive a lesson in ethics and morality from what seems like a frothy bit of entertainment.”
Written by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, “The Learned Ladies” is the story of Henriette and Clitandre, two young lovers who want to get married. There’s only one problem — Henriette’s family. Her mother, aunt and older sister are obsessed with becoming cultured ladies and are set on Henriette marrying their paragon, “scholar” and mediocre poet Trissotin. Audiences can
watch as two lovers navigate the dangerous waters of culture and family relations. Originally written in French, the show was translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, a poet who won the Pulitzer Prize for his work “Things of This World.” All dialogue in the show is spoken in rhyming couplets. “The rhyming verse presents See LADIES on Page 13

‘Enough Said’ is a winning comic romance Late James Gandolfini stars with Louis-Dreyfus LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beholding the late James Gandolfini doing a lovely job in a change-of-pace role significantly intensifies the already funny/ sad aspects of “Enough Said,” an engaging comic romance set amid the minefields that imperil starting up midlife relationships. The title notwithstanding, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s look at a 50-ish divorced mother with a daughter about to leave home is never at a loss for words, many of them quite amusing, making the film a leading contender for best girls’ night movie of the season. For their part, men will enjoy watching Gandolfini in
Second ‘Insidious’ tops the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — Moviegoers had an appetite for fright this weekend, sending “Insidious: Chapter 2” to the top of the box office. The haunted-house horror sequel debuted in first place with $41 million, more than tripling the opening take of the 2010 original. Debuting on Friday the 13th, FilmDistrict’s “Insidious: Chapter 2” scored the highest September opening day ever, said box-office See BOX on Page 12
a relaxed, self-effacing, regular guy performance. Employing to her advantage a more traditional story structure than is her norm, Holofcener builds her snappy social comedy around a key piece of information that her heroine doesn’t know, that the guy she’s beginning to date is the muchdisparaged ex of her new best friend. This sort of trick has provided the trigger for rich farcical doings going back at least as far as Shakespeare, and Holofcener uses it as a springboard to look at a raft of self-absorbed, often myopic LA Westside types who have it together in some ways but not in others. Almost everyone here is divorced with an ex liv-

While massaging Marianne, Eva hears more and more horror stories about her ex, just as Eva is enthusing to her girl pals, such as Sarah (Toni Collette), about her freshly revived intimate life. At the same time, she gets into trouble by encouraging one of her daughter’s friends (Tavi Gevinson) to go ahead and lose her virginity and otherwise doesn’t always use the best judgment. This is Holofcener’s sweet spot, the depiction of the emotional confusions, self-deceptions, uncertainties and misguided decisions that can cloud and get the better of otherwise bright, aware people, especially the female characters she tends to specialize in. When a chance revelation See COMIC on Page 7

The Reel Place Aaron Peck
“Prisoners” is an effective thriller that builds and builds, much like a tense crime novel, until it hits a critical mass that it can’t possibly sustain. The effectiveness of the first two-thirds of the movie unravels a bit once the big reveal comes around. It’s simply too difficult not to gravitate toward a stereotypical police procedural ending with this type of story. The Dover family are nice, down-to-earth folks. Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) loves his family. “Pray for the best, prepare for the worst,” he says. Keller does indeed prepare for the worst. His basement is stocked with everything a family might need in case the end of the world happens. During a Thanksgiving dinner party with the Dovers’ best friends, the Birch family, something dreadful happens. Young Joy Birch and Anna Dover disappear after going outside for a couple of minutes. After hours of frantic searching the families are completely beside themselves. They have no idea where their daughters have gone. The only clue they have

Place Continued from Page 8 has such a rich history that traditions are a huge part of campus life. “I love the traditions at USU,” she said. “They really bring the students together.” Moonlight & Music is a tradition from years past that Fairbairn is trying to resurrect. Though the event had to be moved last minute, Fairbairn said it came together quite smoothly and she was happy with the turnout. As the night progressed, more and more students found
their way to the TSC patio to enjoy the band. It was almost as if they were drawn in by the music. Kellen Hansen, a senior Spanish major, said Moonlight & Music was the perfect event for USU students. “This campus isn’t scary at night,” he said. “People wander around and then they hear the music and it draws them in.” Kate Leach, a sophomore psychology major, said the campus is close and inviting. People walking around campus always run into many people they know, she said. “They call us the Aggie family because we really are
like a family,” she said. “It feels like everyone knows everyone.” With turnouts as successful as they were for the homecoming events, it seemed like everyone came together. Fairbairn said there were around 3,000 people at the street painting. Moonlight & Music drew in a large crowd on the TSC patio. The Kent Concert Hall was filled almost to capacity with students and family members supporting the Mr. USU contestants. The Homecoming dance and True Aggie Night on Friday had scores of participants, and Saturday’s parade and football game brought in not only

It’s time to celebrate Roomba-riding cats by John Kerry when he was trying to kill time at a news conference. A couple months ago, Putin was most famous for posting photos only slightly less embarrassing than Anthony Weiner’s. Now he is publishing editorials in the New York Times that mock the U.S. and he’s taking credit for brokering world peace. Building on this, I predict that next week week is this week’s legiti- Putin, emboldened by mate headline. his recent success, dares Consider these: The President Obama to lick United States just a frozen flagpole.

Slightly Off Center DENNIS HINKAMP
Despite my liberal leanings, I want to go on record that I fully support whatever loss of privacy it takes to keep providing us free Internet access to surfing dogs and Roombariding cats. I’d even give amnesty and a free iPad to Snowden if that’s what it takes. We need to keep the Internet free and weird to counterbalance a numbingly absurd, yet brutal, reality that lately seems to be scripted by failed “Saturday Night Live” writers. Are Internet memes any weirder than the so-called real news? Something that seemed like a joke last
the White House has ordered Kerry to keep blathering filibuster style in hopes he will cough up another hairball of wisdom to end the economic crisis and produce a coherent cost/benefit analysis of fracking. I admit that surfing dogs and Roomba-riding cats might require a mild amount of animal cruelty or at least humiliation; I just look at it as their contribution to free food and a warm place to sleep. These momentary bites of silliness break up the serious of the day the same way a smoke break or a shot of vodka in your orange juice used
to. Now you don’t even have to leave your desk or deploy breath mints. Maybe if I were younger I would care more about what Miley Cyrus isn’t wearing, but I’d rather stick with cats and dogs. It’s not that I have no libido left, but honestly I don’t want to die with one of her videos on my browsing history. I want something entertaining that is also conducive to watching in public. I don’t know how many times stuff like this has saved me from becoming irritable while waiting in line for some sullen coffee shop kid, or bike shop technicians who think I am too old to
bother with. When I’m at the grocery store I say, “No, fine go ahead and take your 35 items through the express line; I’m content here watching this pug learn to surf.” Or, when waiting for my car: “My oil change will take how long? That doesn’t sound very jiffy to me, but that’s fine, I’ve got 10 more Caturday videos to catch up on.” Sure the Internet is full of time-wasting features, but I think we should give more credit to the sanity savers that get us through the day. ——— Dennis Hinkamp has a dog that was born in Russia, but she does not surf.

The Republicans are maneuvering now in the early stages for 2016 and struggling with attempts to remake the party’s image, which makes Balz’s account of the GOP contest in 2012 very timely. Mitt Romney entered the race with “a glittering record of success, a resume that was enviable in both the public and private sectors, and a huge personal fortune. What he lacked was a clear political identity,” Balz writes. See BOOK on Page 13

The shows, which will feature renowned American soprano Alyson Cambridge and the Westminster Bell Choir, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, and at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7. Tickets range from $12 to $20. “I think it’s become an annual tradition with so many people in the community,” Jessop said of the Christmas shows. “Everyone loves going to the Eccles Theatre, and the chorus decorates it up really nice with poinsettias and trees and lights. “It should be terrific show. We’ve performed with Alyson Cambridge in Sun Valley, and she’s just beautiful; beautiful to hear and beautiful to look at.” In 2014, the AFCO will hold “Encore:
Book Continued from Page 12 Romney’s awareness of his vulnerabilities surfaced during a Christmas vacation in December 2010. Balz tells how Romney’s son Tagg recalled his dad’s hesitance. It might be difficult for a moderate from Massachusetts who happened to be Mormon to win GOP primaries. And there was concern that Romney’s support for a Massachusetts health care plan could cost him conservative support. “Even up until the day he made the announcement, he
was looking for excuses to get out of it,” Tagg Romney said. But Romney, encouraged by wife Ann and Tagg, was convinced there wasn’t a stronger Republican candidate likely to run. Potential strong GOP rivals bowed out, clearing the way for Romney, and a series of conservative Republicans took their turns as his chief rival. Their success highlighted Romney’s difficulty winning a loyal conservative following. “The field of candidates included no one who seemed to have the attributes that could provide a center of gravity to a party still searching for someone to define its
post-2010 character,” Balz writes. While seeking to fend off conservative challengers, Romney had to take positions or make statements, especially on immigration, that would haunt him in the general election campaign. The Obama campaign skillfully took advantage of those vulnerabilities. Romney was hurt by his immigration stances and his biography should have been an asset in troubled economic times, but his campaign had done little “to inoculate him” from coming attacks. Romney’s claim at a conservative gathering that he was “a
A Night of Gospel” at the Kent Concert Hall. Joined by Chantel Wright, conductor of Harlem’s Songs of Solomon, the show will be similar to last year’s gospel performance. “I’ll tell you, the walls are still rocking,” Jessop says with a smile. “… We’ll just get down and get saved. It will be a fun, fun evening of gospel.” Jessop and the American Festival Chorus will then turn its focus towards Brahms’ Requiem, which will be performed Friday, March 28, at the Eccles Theatre. “Brahmns’ Requiuem is one of the great, true masterworks of choral orchestral music,” Jessop says. “It’s one of the great creations of the human mind, and I’m really looking forward to that.” For more information or to purchase tickets for the AFCO’s upcoming season, visit americanfestivalchorus.org or arts.usu.edu, or call 797-8022.
