FROM THE EDITOR My oh my, how things have changed.

Remember when “Napoleon Dynamite” was filmed in Franklin County about 13 years ago? There wasn’t a lot of star power for Preston High grad/writer/director Jared Hess to brag about in his film debut.

I remember being somewhat impressed that the future cult classic contained appearances by Oswald from “The Drew Carey Show” (Diedrich Bader), the little girl from “Waterworld” with the tattoo map on her back (Tina Majorino) and Hilary Duff’s

sister (Haylie Duff).

But now look at Hess, who is the director of “Masterminds,” a heist comedy that will finally hit theaters today after being delayed more than a year due to the bankruptcy of Relativity Media. Although he’s worked with some big names in the past like Jack Black and Sam Rockwell, “Masterminds” alone includes Kristen Wiig, Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. That’s an awful lot of “SNL” talent and three-fourths of the new Ghostbusters.

Although Hess didn’t write “Masterminds” — it was penned by two of his old BYU film school buddies, Hubbel Palmer and Chris Bowman, and former “SNL” writer, Emily Spivey — it definitely rep-

resents another big step in the right direction for the man who managed to make moon boots cool again.

When asked at the “Masterminds” premiere who the more funny person on the set was, Wiig declared: “Jared,” she said without hesitation.

“He does a mean impression of all people, but his mom in particular,” Wiig told WhoSay. “Sorry Jared’s mom if you didn’t know.”

I’m sure Hess’ mother, the lovely Krismas Adams — who was nice enought to allow her pet llama, Dolly, to be used and become world famous as Tina in “Napoleon Dynamite” — is OK with that.

‘Deepwater tells story of survivors and 11 men lost TORONTO (AP) — The name Deepwater Horizon is synonymous to most with environmental catastrophe and corporate negligence. For Mike Williams, who survived the April 2010 oil-rig explosion by plunging into the Gulf of Mexico from several stories up, it was about something else.

“My 11 brothers that got killed were immediately forgotten,” Williams said, speaking from his Sulphur Springs, Texas, home. “We understand the oil. It’s bad, yes. The birds are dying and the shrimp and the crabs and all that stuff. But those aren’t brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, sons, daughters. Shrimp can come back.

People, you can’t bring those guys back.”

Peter Berg’s “Deepwater Horizon,” which opens in theaters Friday, puts the spotlight of a big-budget disaster movie on the human toll of a real-life tragedy. Mark Wahlberg stars as Williams, a central figure in an earlier “60 Minutes” segment that focused on the Deepwater Horizon workers.

“There are probably several different ways you could tell this story or any story, but I liked this approach,” says Berg (“Friday Night Lights,” ‘’Battleship”). “I was very moved by the fact that 11 men lost their lives and I didn’t even know that before the ‘60 Minutes’ piece.”

Made for over $100 million

Horizon” gives the true story the kind of action-film treatment usually reserved for caped crusaders. A mock oil rig, 85 percent to scale, was built at an old Six Flags in Louisiana out of more than 3 million pounds of steel — one of the largest film sets ever erected. The film, based on a New York Times article that detailed the events surrounding the explosion, burrows into the details and politics of life on the rig leading up to the chaos-inducing blowout.

“It’s great that the studio would take the risk to make a movie that has no sequel potential,” says Wahlberg. “At a time when we get bombarded with superhero movies and other stuff that’s pretty mind-

numbing, it’s nice to have a really smart, adult movie that has action.”

Though director J.C. Chandor (“A Most Violent Year”) originally helmed the project, Berg (“Friday Night Lights,” ‘’Battleship”) came aboard to lend the film a more movie star-based approach. “This film works on many levels and I think one of them is just a big-ass action film in the best possible way,” Berg says.

Berg’s last film, “Lone Survivor,” similarly sought to pay tribute to a hardened community (the Navy SEALS) with kinetic verisimilitude. Many of the rig workers have small roles in the film or served as consultants, including Williams.

“Once the family members and loved ones heard that they were making a movie, they were all completely against it because they assumed that Hollywood was going to make a movie about the environmental disaster and their loved ones would be overlooked again,” says Wahlberg. “Once we were able to communicate to them what our intentions were, what the movie was going to be, then they all came onboard. We wanted to honor those people.”

Some may take issue that one of the largest environmental disasters in history has been reduced to a fiery action movie. “Deepwater Horizon” spends little time on the millions of barrels of oil

that leaked into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days after the explosion. Nor is there much scrutiny of BP, which was found primarily responsible for the spill by a federal judge in 2014. It has paid billions in cleanup costs, penalties and settlements.

“When it came down to who decided what, pointing figures, we didn’t want to do that,” says Wahlberg. “These guys do a very dangerous job.”

The primary figure of corporate greed is encapsulated by rig supervisor Donald Vidrine (played by John Malkovich with a devilish Cajun accent), who was found guilty of a misdemeanor pollution charge for a shoddy pressure test that precipitated the explosion. In the film, a money-centric, behind-schedule BP is seen as recklessly rushing past safety regulations.

Williams, an electrician who has given up the oil business to homeschool his kids, says Berg told the story “right down the middle.” He hopes the film makes people more aware of the “dirty, dangerous, potentially toxic business” that fuels their cars.

“More than likely, the people who see this film are going to get in a car and drive to the theater,” he says. “Or even if they take public transportation, it still has to have some kind of fuel source. And even if it’s electric-powered, it still has to have grease, it still has to have tires — all, of course, petroleum products. When they make that connection, it will be a deeper connection to the men that died.”

“It’s the least I can do to speak for them,” says Williams, “because I’m still here and they’re not.”

all mixed up St. Lawrence Quartet to play Logan After more than 25 years playing together, the St. Lawrence String Quartet should be settling down. But their intensity, precision and rock ‘n’ roll vibe is still front and center.

Performing the Chamber Music Society of Logan’s Eastman Nibley Hatch opening concert of the 2016-2017 season, the quartet will being “an electricity” (New York Times) to its Cache Valley audience at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, at USU’s Caine Performance Hall.

Tickets are $24 for adults, $10 for students and are available at arts.usu.edu, 797-8022, and at the Caine College of the Arts box office in Chase Fine Arts Center, as well as at the door the night of the performance. Further information is available at cmslogan.org.

The members of the St. Lawrence String Quartet are Geoff Nuttall, violin; Owen Dalby, violin; Lesley Robertson, viola; and Christopher Costanza, cello.

Originally formed in Canada by founding members Nuttall and

Robertson, all the group’s members now live and teach at Stanford University in California.

The Canadian Broadcasting Company said, “Their irreverent, spontaneous approach to the classics, as well as their devotion to new music, has made them a model for what the modern-day string quartet should be.”

The quartet’s program for the Logan concert is Haydn’s String Quartet in Eb-Major, Op. 33, No.

‘Time’ continues at Lyric Utah State presents Margulies-penned play “Time Stands Still,” a work from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies, will take the stage at the Caine Lyric Theatre on Friday, Sept. 23.

The production begins at 7:30 p.m. Sept.

23-24 and Sept. 28-Oct. 1. The contemporary play opens Utah State University’s Theatre Arts Department’s 2016-17 season.

The play contains adult content and language.

The plot looks at Sarah, a wartime photojournalist badly injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq. She is forced to return to her Brooklyn loft to piece her life back together with the help of her boyfriend, James. The audience also meets photo editor Richard and his girlfriend, Mandy.

The play focuses on their relationships and Sarah and James’ prospects of a more conventional life.

“Are the media invasive ghouls due to their portrayal of war through stories and photos?” said Adrianne Moore, the play’s director and head of the Department of Theatre Arts in the Caine College of the Arts at USU. “Or, are they providing an incredibly vital service so that the rest of the world knows exactly what’s going on?

That’s a question that one of the characters really wrestles with.”

PEN Trio slated for Sunday show The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University kicks off its “2016-17 Museum and Music” series with the award winning PEN Trio at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, at the museum.

The “Museum and Music” series aims to connect the visual with the aural by presenting music that relates to artwork in the museum’s collection. The PEN Trio, featuring Nora Lewis on Oboe, Phillip O. Paglialonga on clarinet and Eric Van der Veer Varner on bassoon, brings a diverse concert of repertoire to the museum, consisting of recently commissioned works by west coast composers and standard repertoire for their ensemble.

The concert will explore the concept of “process,” as a seminal focus of Western American Modern and Contemporary artistic practice, explained Christopher Scheer, head of USU’s Department of Music.

Complementary Artworks from NEHMA’s collection will be on view offering visitors the chance to consider “process” as a common thread between their aural and visual experience.

“As always, the goal is to inspire a new understanding of the aural and visual by placing the musical event within the context of the gallery itself,” said Scheer.

The series aims to bring in all types of members from both the USU campus and surrounding communities.

“The event and subsequent series is intended to be a casual, relaxing Sunday afternoon program,” said NEHMA Executive Director Katie Lee-Koven.

The event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served following the performance. Visit artmuseum.usu.edu for additional information.

USU Women’s Choir, groups directed

by Cory Evans and Luke Shepherd.

“The USU Chamber Singers will present John Tavener’s haunting ‘Funeral Ikos,’ as well as a collection of American folk songs, including the spirited ‘Ain’a That Good News’ and a new arrangement of the southern folk tune ‘Look Up, Look Down,’” Evans said.

The USU Chorale will perform music of Anton Bruckner, Philip Stop-

ford, Mack Wilberg, Stephen Paulus and Joseph Joubert’s “absolutely rockin’” version of “Down By The Riverside,” Evans said.

The USU Women’s Choir will perform a song cycle of love and loss, including the music of Donald Patriquin and a new arrangement of “Somewhere” from “West Side Story.”

NATIONAL PARKS TURN 100

ell after midnight on a warm August night in Jackson Hole, I stand poised at Teton Point Turnout on the eastern edge of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. Physically, I would certainly be better off asleep in my tent at Gros Ventre Campground considering that I need to be up before dawn in order to embark on a demanding hike into the Tetons, but the lure of capturing lightning in one of my favorite places in the world is simply too strong.

Unfortunately, the thunderstorm stays primarily to the southwest, dozens of miles beyond the town of Jackson, leaving me able to photograph just a handful of strikes from afar.

But then, suddenly, everything changes. Lightning flashes in the sky south of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and while there are no bolts visible, the initial burst seems to trigger a wave of additional light, a light that colors the clouds a soft purple.

With no one around for miles in which to share the moment, I stand dumbfounded for the next 15 to 20 minutes, watching in awe as lightning strikes at the southwestern edge of Jackson Hole continue to send a lavender glow northward, briefly illuminating Rendezvous Mountain above Teton Village before moving onto Death Canyon, the South Teton, the Middle Teton, and finally the Grand Teton

before dying out just beyond Mount Owen and Cascade Canyon.

While the light show astonishes me, I also grow frustrated because I am unable to capture the stunning phenomenon with my still camera and have no video capability on hand. But eventually, I wise up ... and I give up.

Rather than try and photograph the moment, I simply enjoy the opportunity that the heavens are providing me, doing my best to record mentally what is still, more than five years later, the most memorable moment I’ve ever had in a national park.

———— The U.S. National Park Service officially celebrated it’s centennial on Aug. 25, a milestone birthday which has drawn an awful lot of attention to the NPS this year.

While the first national park was established in the Yellowstone region in 1872, the National Park Service wasn’t created until President Woodrow Wilson signed an act in 1916, essentially uniting 35 national parks and monuments under one bureau in the Department of the Interior.

Now there are 412 areas under the administration of the National Park Service, a stunning number of areas and regions that comprise

corn: “You might feel confused in your romantic relationship right now, but unfortunately there is no instruction booklet to consult. Your friends are there to offer you advice, but be careful not to take what they say literally.”

So again I am faced with a choice between logic and love. How could ancient Babylonians get it so wrong?

Did they forget to update their Windows operating system? Couldn’t they find the answer on Google or Wikipedia? Do the signs of the zodiac accurately take into account the number of months in the womb?

What if you are raised Pisces only to find out

that your parents lied about your real birth date?

To confuse things further, NASA decided there should be a thirteenth sign of the zodiac, and they didn’t even have a naming contest. I would have gone with Obtusian, in honor of my favorite word in “The Shawshank Redemption,” but they picked something ancient sounding. They chose Ophiuchus, which sounds like obfuscation, which maybe is a totally accurate description of astrology.

“Deepwater Horizon” highlights the dangers of capitalism run amok.

When profits are greater than people. It’s a stark portrait of corporate greed. A cautionary tale that should’ve never been learned.

There’s a moment where Kurt Russell’s character, Jimmy Harrell, turns to the movie’s main focus Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) and apropos of nothing says, “Did you brush your teeth today?” Williams replies, “Yes sir.” Harrell says, “Did you floss?” “Well, no sir.” Williams says back.

Harrell ends the discussion with, “It’ll save you a lot of money and suffering.” And so it is with the story of BP’s greed.

Seconds later, Harrell and Williams are talking with BP executives about how dangerous it is not to do all requisite tests before handing the newly drilled well off to BP’s pumpers. Harrell is incensed that BP would cut corners. BP is rushed, because they’re already over budget and behind schedule.

Harrell wants a specific test done before they can plug the well and move on. It’s a test that would’ve cost BP less than $200,000.

Remember that flossing comment? Two-hundred grand, to a multi-billiondollar company is floss, but because they ignored it, a bigger bill is about to come due.

higher-ups. No matter that sealing the well might stop the fire or might save lives. No, procedures must be followed in order to protect the company’s investment as long as possible. Even if people are dying at its expense.

Berg crafts a taut thriller that also doubles as a steady takedown of BP’s inthe-moment handling of the Deepwater Horizon fiasco (not to mention their continuous bungling after the events of this movie).

Like “Sully,” it’s a real-life event that provides more action and drama than many fictional stories ever could.

Parks Continued from Page 7 many of the most wonderful places in the country, as far as I’m concerned. At first count, I really didn’t think I had been to that many NPS areas, primarily because I was limiting myself to the bigger national parks I’ve visited, such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Zion, Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Grand Teton, Arches, Hawai’i Volcanoes and the Great Smoky Mountains.

But, of course, there are many smaller national monuments and memorials I’ve had an opportunity to experience, including Dinosaur, Craters of the Moon, Golden Spike, Timpanogos Cave and Mount Rushmore, as well as numerous battlefields and military parks, such as Gettysburg, Antietam, Pearl Harbor and Little Bighorn.

There’s also the more unique places like Alca-

traz Island in California, the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in Missouri, Mount Vernon in Virginia and many locations along the Lewis & Clark, Oregon and Mormon trails.

In the end, it turns out that I’ve been to around 50 different NPS areas from sea to shining sea, a number which pleases me on one hand, but also leaves me with an awful lot of parks left to visit.

Somehow, despite living in Utah for more than two decades, I’ve never made it Bryce Canyon or Capitol Reef national parks, and Crater Lake, Olympic and Arcadia are also on my must-see list.

But regardless of what I’m able to see in the future, I feel very fortunate to have been able to experience some truly amazing moments — like the late-night light show in Grand Teton National Park — in some of the must stunning and historic places in the country that have been wisely set apart and preserved for the enjoyment of current and future generations.
