FROM THE EDITOR

M

y best friend’s mom, who I affectionately consider my second mom, taught me to love all flavors of ice cream, how to dance while driving a vehicle, that you’re never too old to ride front row on a roller coaster and how to laugh when times are hard.

Linda Hill battled lymphoma, thyroid and breast cancer, has undergone several surgeries and would be the first one to tell you cancer isn’t funny. Through it all,

however, she’s kept her sense of humor, laughs through the pain with her seven children, rides her bike whenever she can and continues devouring ice cream one half gallon at a time.

A few years ago she started a business selling T-shirts with witty cancer one-liners such as, “Of course they’re fake, the real ones tried to kill me,” “Cancer stole second base, I won the game,” and “You think you’re having a bad hair day?”

She said whether she had three days or three years to live, she would rather spend them smiling and having a good time.

Acknowledging life doesn’t always

have to be so serious is one reason I adore Linda, and why I’m so excited to see “50/50” which opens this weekend.

The movie, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, deals with the often-sensitive subject of cancer, but keeps you laughing the whole time, according to Cache movie critic Aaron Peck (page 7).

When unexpected – and perhaps scary or emotional – changes occur, it’s important to keep a positive outlook, even if it means using a little dark humor so you can laugh instead of cry.

A half gallon of ice cream never hurts either. Thanks for everything, Linda.

USU’s ‘Proof’ closes this weekend Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play “Proof” by David Auburn finishes up tonight at tomorrow at USU’s Black Box Theatre.

First produced in 2000, “Proof” hit Broadway and won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play.

The central character in “Proof” is a girl named Catherine, played by USU theater student Felicia Stehmeier. Catherine has just laid her mathemati-

cian father to rest after suffering a long-term mental illness. Robert, Catherine’s father, played by professional actor Kent

Hadfield, was once a gifted professor but, as his illness progressed, he was no longer able to work as a mathematical genius.

The audience quickly learns that Catherine herself is brilliant, but she worries she might possess the same mental illness that destroyed her father.

Catherine is soon torn when Robert’s old student, Hal, portrayed by USU theater student Adam Earl, discovers a pad of paper filled with profound cal-

culations in Robert’s desk.

Hal assumes the work is Robert’s, but in reality, Catherine wrote the mathematical proof; however, no one believes her.

For tickets, visit the CCA Box Office located in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus, call 435-7978022 or go online (arts.usu. edu).

“Proof” contains strong language and is not recommended for children younger than 13.

all mixed up Jerusalem String Quartet to dazzle Logan audience

Classical composer to speak at USU’s Dean’s Convocation Alternative classical composer Phillip Bimstein will speak at the Caine College of the Arts’ second annual Dean’s Convocation on Tuesday, Oct. 4.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the entire college to join together and focus on the impact that arts can have on social issues and the greater community,” said Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts. “Phillip Bimstein’s experience in politics gives him a unique perspective from which to speak about music, the environment and community-building.”

Bimstein will present “Composing a Community: Collaborative Performance of a New Democracy” at the convocation. The musical presentation, based on Bimstein’s research as a Utah Humanities Council’s Delmont R. Oswald Fellow, will discuss the emerging relationships between political science and musicology. Bimstein will describe how an accessible understanding of musical forms, processes and skills increases the capacities of communities to facilitate participatory dialogue.

“The power of the humanities and arts’ ability to build

relationships with communities from the front porch to concert halls to city halls is profound,” said Nicholas Morrison, Caine College of the Arts senior associate dean. “Phillip helps remind us of our mutual interests as artists, scholars and citizens.”

The event is the formal welcome from the Caine College of the Arts for all students entering or currently enrolled at Utah State University, said Morrison. In addition, students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to hear from one of the country’s most fascinating alternative composers and political activists.

Bimstein has served as chair of the Utah Humanities Council, chair of the art and humanities residency center, The MESA, vice-president of the American Music Center in New York and is profiled in “Who’s Who in America.” In addition, he is a frequent guest speaker on creativity, community and collaboration.

The Chamber Music Society of Logan proudly opens its 2011-12 season Thursday, Oct. 6, with Jerusalem String Quartet performing works by Mozart, Brahms and Shostakovich.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Hall on the campus of Utah State University.

Though barely into their 30s, the Jerusalem Quartet musicians have already won audiences the world over, both in concert and on their recordings for the Harmonia Mundi label.

The quartet will visit North America in both the fall and spring in the 2011-12 season, performing in 19 cities across the continent.

The Jerusalem Quartet formed while its members were students at the Jerusalem Conservatory of Music and Dance.

They quickly found a shared commitment to the music that has not only endured, but has propelled them to the highest level of performance. Members of the quartet are Alexander Pavlovsky on violin, Sergei Bresler on violin, Ori Kam on viola and Kyril Zlotnikov on cello.

They recently concluded a three-year residency at Musica Viva Australia with a 10-concert tour that included Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

They also continue as quartet in residence at the Centro Cultural Miguel Delibes in Valladolid, Spain.

The quartet’s exquisite intensity and commitment to the music are remarkable. Rhythmic brilliance and beauty of tone are hallmarks of their style.

Their performances are strikingly energetic, blended and well-balanced. Each concert is highly engaging, pulsated per-

fectly, with sensitively hushed pauses, full of anticipation.

The Oct. 6 concert will begin with the “String Quartet in D minor, K. 421” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. One of music’s most precocious, talented geniuses, Mozart’s composition combines formal delicate elegance with deep expressiveness, strength, vigor and directness.

The second selection, by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, is the “String Quartet No. 6 in G major, Op. 101.” Written in 1956, it has a contemporary, 20th Century sound which uses interesting, sometimes dissonant harmonies.

The first movement has lively, brisk folk-like melodies which are delightful and exciting. The third movement begins with a lovely melancholy cello solo.

The last movement becomes complex, playful, syncopated and dissonant.

After intermission the quartet will perform “String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51, No. 2” by Johannes Brahms.

When: Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Where: USU Performance Hall TICKETS: Available at arts. usu.edu or by calling 435797-8022. Cost is $24 or $10 for students.

A community outreach and master class will be held Friday, Oct. 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the USU Performance Hall. For years the Chamber Music Society of Logan has provided opportunities for young musicians to expand their cultural horizons, working directly with professional artists. The Jerusalem String Quartet will be helping students hone their musical skills and build their appreciation for classical music. These master classes are free and open to the public, middle school, high school and university students.

Calvary Baptist Church Choir, directed by Miki Hesleph.

“The opportunity to share genres of music with Craig Jessop’s knowledge is fantastic,” said Hesleph. “Our choir loves to meet new people and is excited to be part of this event.”

Jessop is pleased to welcome the evening’s guests.

“Gospel music has a rich tradition that has become part of the heritage of us all,” said Jessop, music director and dean of the Caine College of the Arts. “We are so privileged to trace the history and evolution of gospel music with guest artists of such cali-

ber.”

The American Festival Chorus will perform a number of works, including “Deep River,” “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho,” “Praise His Holy Name” and “Amazing Grace.”

“The music for this concert is a little out of our comfort zone, but as we study each new piece we are developing a true love of gospel spirituals,” said Keri Shoemaker, American Festival Chorus member. “AFC members have the opportunity to learn from Chantel Wright and be under the direction of Craig Jessop, which is a pretty amazing

experience.”

The American Festival Cho-

rus includes 290 singers who live within a 50-mile radius of Logan. The professional American Festival Orchestra is composed of USU music faculty, outstanding musicians in the community and the northern Utah region and top select senior USU students.

The American Festival Chorus is presented by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts. Upcoming events include the chorus’ free “Veterans Day Memorial Concert” Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. and the “Benjamin Britten War Requiem” Nov. 12 in the Ellen Eccles Theatre, 43 S. Main Street, Logan.

Old Barn Theatre continues ‘Twelve Angry Men’ What do you get when you fill a hot, humid jury room with 12 very opinionated men to decide the guilt or innocence of an alleged 19-year-old murderer? You get 12 angry men, arguing, debating, re-examining the evidence and re-enacting the case and close to committing crimes of their own.

“Twelve Angry Men” starts as the jurors enter the jury room to deliberate and find they are all in agreement except one,

who will not see the case the way they do. It is an intense drama that allows the audience to hear the evidence of the

case as they try to come to a consensus as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, and try to convince the one hold out that he is wrong.

Tempers flair, voices raise, and character flaws and strengths become apparent as the debate goes on. Varying alliances and attitudes shift and change as they seek an impossible agreement that will allow them to complete their assigned duty and go back to the court with a verdict.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, September 30, 2011

The American Festival Chorus, directed by Craig Jessop, will perform “Celebrate! An Evening of Gospel Music” on Oct. 7.

“Our choir and community have a truly remarkable opportunity to experience this concert because of Craig Jessop’s deep understanding of the musical tradition being sampled,” said Larry Cannon, chair of the board of directors for AFC. “We anticipate a wonderful and exciting evening.”

Guest conductor and soloist Chantel Renee Wright, director of the Harlem based performing company and preparatory program “Songs of Solomon” will perform. Soloist and Broadway star Sherrie Pratt and USU students Anthony Pratt, Kris King, Shalayna Guisao and Jeunee Roberts will participate in the performance as well.

“Joining the American Festival Chorus has been an amazing experience,” said Roberts. “The smiling faces, professional choral sound and genuine love of music of the choir members have made my transition from New York to Logan an easy one.”

The concert will also include the Salt Lake City

movies ★ ‘What’s Your Number?’

Director // Mark Mylod Starring // Anna Faris, Chris Evans and Ari Graynor Rated // R for sexual content and language

★★ ‘Killer Elite’

Director // Gary McKendry Starring // Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro Rated // PG-13 for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.

Head butts would seem to hurt, right? That’s clearly the point of them, but it would seem to be just as painful to be the butt-er as the butt-ee. This is probably the most primal method of attack on display here, but even the noisy intensity and frequency of the skull bashings — and pistol whippings and gut punches — don’t register as anything beyond generic action-picture violence. The fact that director and cowriter Gary McKendry has shot all these brawls with the usual shaky cam and cut them in quick, choppy fashion only adds to how forgettable the film is. And you’d think that any movie starring Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham would be one you’d want to remember. “Killer Elite” allows them to show off some of the presence and personality that made these men major movie stars, but ultimately they’re just cogs in a cliched revenge tale. Statham stars as Danny, the typical special-ops, killing-machine-for-hire Statham tends to play. He wants to retire, but gets drawn back in for that tried-and-true One Last Job when his mentor (De Niro) is kidnapped by an Omani sheik. Danny has to kill the men who killed the sheik’s sons to ensure his release. Owen plays the enforcer for a shadowy British society who’s on Danny’s tail.

116 minutes.

Reviews by The Associated Press

Hollywood’s new age of realistically raunchy, female-driven romantic comedies takes a step backward with this dollop of forgettable fluff that’s as dull and predictable as they come.

Director Mark Mylod wades through a similar R-rated sensibility as “Bridesmaids” and “Bad Teacher” but delivers the usual vanilla of most PG-13 romances. As she usually does, Anna Faris comes through with a spirit and quirkiness far more engaging than the material merits, creating a character you’d like to embrace if only she weren’t forced to behave so stupidly and shallowly. But it’s difficult to get caught up in what essentially is a one-note, featurelength gag about a woman’s sudden fixation that she’s slept around too much, sending her on a quest to reconnect with former lovers, figuring one must have been her perfect mate.

“Captain America: The First Avenger” star Chris Evans at least gets to display his comic charm as the hunky neighbor who helps Faris track down the former men in her life. 106 minutes.

★★★ ‘50/50’

Many R-rated comedies that come out tend to be the gross-out variety. “50/50” isn’t that type of comedy.

Don’t go expecting something akin to “The Hangover,” because that’s not what this movie is going to be like. It’s dealing with Action!

differently? Would you accept your fate or would you be angry?

While all these questions aren’t exactly answered in “50/50,” they are dealt with in one fashion or another.

In my mind “50/50” is one of the best movies out there dealing with the topic of cancer. Not because come Oscar time we’re going to be fawning over the performances or the screenplay, but because the people in this movie act like real people, and sometimes that’s all you need for a great movie.

Cancer movies are usually a dour experience where someone finds out they’ve contracted the terminal disease and now they have to learn to live with it. “50/50” isn’t that type of cancer movie. Instead we’re treated to a more realistic approach. A movie that deals with a terrible disease in a genuine way.

Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is 27, has a promising career in public radio, and a nice girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard). He also just found out he has cancer, a malignant tumor spreading across his spine. There is no time to waste. Adam must undergo chemotherapy and if that doesn’t work, surgery.

His type of cancer is extremely aggressive.

Rockin’ and rollin’ Meet local band Arson Gang T he localized soulful sound of 70s’ rock’n’roll, with a unique touch of modern technology, is now available not only around Cache Valley, but also around the nation.

Arson Gang, a local alternative rock band, recently released its first album, “Ride,” hoping to conquer not only local audiences, but also fans of creative music all around the country.

“At one point we asked ourselves: ‘Do we want to be a serious band or do we just want to play in the valley?.’ We all knew we want to play more and get our music outside of the valley. And we won’t be able to play shows outside of the valley without a CD,” said Darin Johnson, a bandmember.

The Arson Gang was formed in Logan three years ago. The band is the musical baby of another local, DJE BAND, but with a new crew, also came a new genre of music.

The band acquired a new sound by combining rock, blues, funk and jazz and rock-a-billy in their new repertoire.

Johnson said that while chang-

ing the sound of their music might have been a little challenging in the beginning, the new genre has allowed their music to appeal to a larger audience.

“Prior to Arson Gang we still had a jam-band kind of sound and now we have washed that jam forefront. We still jam, but we have definitely put the alternative rock sound on the forefront,” Johnson said.

According to Johnson, none of the five members of the band listen to the same kind of music. The fusion of different musical tastes in one ensemble has made it easier to create one united genre, while incorporating rhythms and tones from

other various platforms.

“The experience that all of us have had in different genres, kind of allowed us to be unique in our music,” Johnson said.

The four other members not only have different kinds of musical backgrounds, but also hold different life experiences and daytime occupations, aside from their true passion.

Dave Kinsey, the rhythm, a valley native, lead guitarist and the band’s main vocalist, has been involved in Logan’s music scene for more than 10 years and has played a crucial role in producing this CD and leading the band in its “new sound.”

Kinsey is an information technology director at a local company.

“Dave saw the direction we wanted to go and took the band in that direction,” Johnson said.

Cody Goodsell, the bass player, has developed a unique undertone for Arson Gang that differentiates the band from other musical crews in the valley. He currently works as a fiber optics specialist.

Kevin Anderson, the band’s drummer, is the latest addition to the Gang. Anderson’s style includes a funky touch to rock’n’roll. His energetic performance and “killer beats” compliment the band’s music, Johnson said.

Kelly Anderson, the band’s lead guitarist, improved his musical skill set by playing with renowned musicians in California and joined the Arson Gang as the lead guitarist after moving back to Logan. He currently works as a server at the Beehive Grill.

Johnson, an account manager and a Logan native, moved back to his origins after starting a promising musical career in Oregon.

More information about the band can be found on their website at www.myspace.com/arsongang.

All the hummingbirds have vanished from their sugary bar we so dutifully stocked for them all summer; no goodbyes, no thank you note, no tip; just empty bar stool perches and a sticky mess now taken over by wasps. Next year there will be a cover charge.

will poop unceremoniously on everything we’ve cleaned up or repaired. They’ll tease the dog, scoff at hunters and ruminate all day long like uninvited, unemployed relatives that won’t get off the couch.

Darkness squeezes out daylight on both ends of the day to be compounded further by the looming end of daylight savings time. This is the transitional period of the year where I shiver in the morning and sweat in the afternoon. Jackets accumulate in my office because I need them on my way to work and forget them on for the warm

trip home.

All evidence points to the end of another summer. I guess it is called fall because of the leaves, but autumn sounds less jarring as we brace ourselves for the impact that is winter.

Today I got out of my car slipped on the ice and landed flat on my back.

I figured if I just lie still and maybe closed my eyes perhaps no one would notice I was lying in a heap in the parking lot behind Denny’s.

When I decided it was safe to move I made the alarming discovery I was stuck.

My butt, back, and arms were completely numb and frozen to the ice.

At this point I got a little nervous and I kind of lost control and I kind of peed my pants which warmed the ice and I was unstuck but I was also covered in urine.

As I stood up a flower delivery guy passed me and said, “Looking good.”

And I realized I hated him.

So I keyed his car.

“The Littlest Cowboy”

By Terri Barnes He eased up on the bar stool His guns, he didn’t hide He said, Give me a double, And as he pushed his drink aside He said, I’ve been a-workin’ Rustlin’ cattle all day long Chasin’ after bad guys ’Cause ya know I’m mighty strong.

I take orders from no man I’m as tough as I can be And I can out-shoot anyone No one crosses me.

And when the day is over And I need to settle down, Mom comes along and tucks me in I’m sure glad that she’s around.

“The Power of Silence”

By Brien Steiner No words echo here, voices once radiant have grown to maturity and died.

Their names will remain etched in the bark of the aged giants so will the white wash and the clamoring bell always on time and always the same.

The horseshoes and jump ropes have been lost in empty fields some day to be rediscovered.

Yet now, the memories burrowed deep within her walls are all that remain to tell the stories and recreate the plays that were performed in that single barren room.

I stand within that room, not to remember but to absorb.

A hundred years of education were poured into these walls and through the years they leak and I listen and I learn.

“Window”

By Prabhu Mohapatra The window of my room shows not so far A crescent moon and a morning star Dazzling bright in the morning sky A thing of beauty and pure joy The window of my room shows great views Snow-clad mountains under the blue sky White clouds floating by And a church of Latter-day Saints Beyond the road, just outside my house The window of my room shows green trees With green leaves dazzling in afternoon lights And the vehicles of all sorts passing by Apartment residents smoke 50 feet away The window of my room is a great pleasure From morning to evening in my leisure The window of my room is my getaway Body stays home while mind walks away

Lee Duncan’s great unrealized ambition was a movie based on his unlikely life with his canine pal Rin Tin Tin. He had to settle instead for the financial rewards that came from creating a cultural phenomenon.

The ups and downs of Duncan’s life — and the German shepherd’s Hollywood career — provide the spine of Susan Orlean’s engrossing and delightful book, “Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend.”

Its heart lies in her exploration of how a dog could come to embody the ideal of heroic devotion and, eventually, exist as an icon outside the boundar-

ies of time.

Duncan grew up fatherless in California and spent three years at an orphanage while his mother sorted out her life.

Not until he was living on his grandfather’s ranch did he have a dog and the companionship he craved — only to be forced to give up his little terrier when the family moved. Unlike the plot of a typical “Rin Tin Tin” script, the boy and his dog never reunited.

A soldier in France during World War I, Duncan came across a wrecked kennel. Amid the dead dogs were five German shepherd puppies. He kept two, naming them Nanette and Rin Tin Tin after good-luck figurines of the day, and managed to get them back to the U.S.

The breed was relatively new, developed in Germany in 1899, and its fierce, contemplative countenance and athletic abilities made it perfect for the movies. Rin Tin Tin became America’s favorite movie star, on four legs or two, after 1923’s “Where the North Begins.” The incredible success of his films in the silent era gave the fledgling Warner Bros. studio a firm footing in the industry.

A generation later, Duncan turned to television to introduce Rin Tin Tin to baby boomers. A star was reborn.

Nanette died soon after, and Duncan began training “Rinty” at his home in Los Angeles.

Humorist offers ‘distasteful lists’

By Carl Hartman The Associated Press

This book could be called magnetic. It pulls you in, the way a magnet pulls a paper clip, and it doesn’t want to let you go.

It recounts Julius Caesar’s attempt to cure his baldness and Cleopatra’s recommendation: the bodies of domestic mice, burnt and ground up, horse teeth mixed with bear grease, and marrow from deer bones.

That pulls you into the effects of a French king’s contrivance to mask his own loss of hair: a voluminous, powdered, curly wig. Distinguished men — see portraits of George Washington and other Founding Fathers — wore powdered wigs for almost two centuries. After Louis XIV comes a remedy Napoleon tried. It consisted mainly of dogs’ paws and the

hooves of a certain animal.

If you read on for another 188 pages, you’ll find that Adolf Hitler — though he didn’t make the list — also knew of a “miracle cure” for baldness, from which he hoped to make his fortune.

Ingredients and actual profit-

ability are not given.

So don’t start “10 Ways to Recycle a Corpse” at bedtime.

You may lose a lot of sleep.

The book’s subtitle warns that it includes “100 More Dreadfully Distasteful Lists.”

One chapter justifies the book’s title, suggesting profitable and mostly legal ways to dispose of dead bodies. One is to sell parts to legitimate trading companies, which resell them to recognized medical organizations.

Top prices (2010) include tendons at $1,000 each. Corneas fetch $6,000 a pair, the book says, but adds that it’s illegal to sell human body fat to cosmetic firms.

Author Karl Shaw assures readers in an introduction that he has “tried in good faith to ensure that everything in this book, as far as possible, is accurate, although of course some of these ‘facts’ are open to debate and interpretation.”

The bloodline was a bit murky by then and more than one dog was needed for the weekly series and public events. As Orlean notes, it was the idea behind Rin Tin Tin — heroism and devotion — that really mattered.

Orlean finds much more to the story than a man and his dog: good fortune and bad luck, money made and lost, egos built up and torn down, families united and broken, people loved and unloved, and lots and lots of litigation.

Through it all, Rin Tin Tin abides.
