On the cover:

“Zion National Park” by Caroline Lavoie — For the past three years, Lavoie has been capturing landscapes from the Utah wilderness, ranging from the rambling Logan River in Logan Canyon to the stark rock formations in Southern Utah’s arid plains. She has turned those images into a collection that is on display at Fuhrimans Framing and Art Gallery at 75 S. Main St. in Logan.

ELL, I GUESS THIS IS IT. My last column. My farewell. My sad goodbye.

To be honest, I’m not really sure what to say. It makes me sad — I’m going to miss so many people, I’m going to miss the work, I’m going to miss the newspaper business itself.

I tried making a list of people I want to thank for the past seven years, but it got a little out of control and way, way too long to print here.

I’ve gone through a lot since I started at The Herald Journal in 2003.

I went from copy editor to news editor to Cache Magazine editor; I gained a husband, a niece, a cat and a mortgage. I’ve made many new friends and lost loved ones, gone through three cars, started a blanket donation program, held various volunteer positions, watched my husband buy a business, helped my sister celebrate her wedding and my dad celebrate his retirement, and hired a cleaning lady.

Slow Wave

Then, two years ago I enrolled back in school for a second degree and got admitted into the Weber State University nursing program.

I could go on, but I guess it’s just as effective to say that The Herald Journal was with me as I went from new college graduate to grown-up to entirely new person. Without this job and the people I’ve come to know here, I wouldn’t be who I am today. It might be a cliché to say, but they’ve laughed with me, cried with me, celebrated with me and endured me. I’d have to say that my biggest thank-yous go out to my parents, my husband, my sister and brother, managing editor Charlie McCollum and all my co-workers I’ve come to know and love.

I always swore I wouldn’t cry when I quit Cache Magazine — that I would skip out the door whistling a happy tune — but it turns out this is one of the hardest, saddest things I’ve ever had to do. And I will miss you all. Thank you for making these past seven years some of the best of my life.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

A fantastic farce ...

Brigham City history in headstones

HE BRIGHAM CITY T Heritage and Cultural Arts Advisory Board is organizing

and operating free tours of the historic Brigham City Cemetery.

Tour guides will focus on the symbolism of historic headstones, and touch on proper cemetery etiquette and the history of the cemetery. Tours will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Oct. 9 and 16 with tours leaving every hour on the hour from the northwest-corner gate area. Total tour time is approximately 45 minutes. Groups of all ages and sizes are welcome to attend.

Throughout history, symbols have graced the world’s greatest architectural achievements.

Historic structures like the Pan-

theon, the U.S. Capitol building and countless religious edifices display subtle images with double meaning.

This lost language converted itself to the world’s cemeteries as a way for our ancestors and their loved ones to communicate lasting characteristics and actions. By studying these symbols, we get a small glimpse into the lives of those who came before us.

The Heritage and Cultural Arts Board invites all who are interested to join. If you are unable to attend a tour, brochures outlining an abbreviated tour will be available in the cemetery sexton’s office.

‘Autumn Voices’ fill USU concert

A not-so-happy young wife is at the center of the comedic whodunit “The Murder Room.”

Old Barn presents lively British comedy

“T

HE MURDER Room,” a fastpaced British comedy, comes to Collinston’s Old Barn Community Theatre Oct. 8-30.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. every Monday, Friday and Saturday, with 2:30 p.m. matinees Oct. 16 and 23.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $7 for children and seniors and are available at the theater or online at www.oldbarn.org.

Mixing farce with a good oldfashioned whodunit, the play tells the story of bland Edgar Hollister, who marries gold digger Mavis Templeton. After a few hours of painful marriage, Mavis tries various means to bump off her apparently rich husband. All of this is just apparently, because blank shells might have been in the pistol — who knows? — and maybe

the cat didn’t really die when it drank the poisoned cocoa — who knows? — and maybe it was all a dream or amnesia.

Disguises, mixed-up identities, trap doors, changing motivations, bumbling policemen and overdone characterizations are all part and parcel of a good farce and “The Murder Room” has them all and all play a part.

After Edgar Hollister disappears — was he murdered or did he just come up missing?

— the characters begin to play cat-and-mouse with each other and the audience.

The Old Barn Community Theatre is at 3605 Bigler Road in Collinston in Box Elder County.

Founded in 1998, the nonprofit arts organization stages plays year-round. For more information, call 435-458BARN.

HE CHORAL T ensembles of Utah State University’s Caine

College of the Arts Music Department will present “Autumn Voices” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, in the USU Performance Hall.

Tickets are $8 (free for USU students with ID).

Featuring the USU Chamber Singers, USU Chorale and USU Women’s Choir, the concert includes a wide variety of pieces from Claudio Monteverdi, James Mulholland, Daniel E. Gawthrop, Bob Chilcott and Michael McGlynn.

Local metal artist Doug Adams has also created several handcrafted bells for the event.

“I’ve always been drawn to Doug’s incredible bell sculptures,” said Cory Evans, director of USU’s

choral activities. “We thought it would be neat to hear them ringing in the Performance Hall along with the beautiful voices of these student singers. I’m excited to hear how it will sound.”

Dark humor fills USU season opener

U

TAH STATE University’s department of theater arts in the Caine College of the Arts will present “The Cripple of Inishmaan” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 and Oct. 6-9 at the Caine Lyric Theatre, 28 W. Center St., Logan. Tickets are $13 for reserved seating, $11 for USU faculty and staff, $9 for all nonUSU students and free for USU students with current ID; and can be purchased at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139-B, at the Caine College of the Arts Dean’s Office Box Office, online at www.arts. usu.edu or by calling 797-8022.

“The Cripple of Inishmaan is a comedy, a good Irish story packed with likable characters filled with flaws,” said Director Colin Johnson. “‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ is sure to make you think.”

Jessica Jackson as Kate, Timothy Roghaar as Cripple Billy and Adam Earl as Babbybobby.

Set in a remote town in Ireland in 1934, “The Cripple of Inishmaan” is a dark comedic tale by Martin McDonagh about

the seemingly impossible hope of a young cripple, Billy. The story becomes a merciless portrayal of a town so comically

cramped and mean-spirited that hope is almost lost.

When news arrives on the remote island of a Hollywood

director coming to a neighboring island, Cripple Billy becomes determined to audition, and as news of his audacity flows through the rumorstarved community, things start to heat up for the young cripple.

“Audiences who drift to shows like ‘Leverage’ and ‘House’ will probably appreciate the dark humor of human behavior portrayed,” Johnson said.

This play has been rated “M” for mature by the Caine College of the Arts.

“We want to issue a strong discretionary warning,” Johnson said. “The play is a comedy, but includes authentic Irish language and imagery.”

Scenes of abuse and a mature storyline are also present.

USU’s Caine College of the Arts presents more than 500 events each academic year.

USU museum to screen marketing professors’ wind power documentary

HE NORA ECCLES T Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University will

host a free screening of the documentary “Wind Uprising” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, in its Study Center Gallery.

Showing the process of creating Utah’s first wind energy project, “Wind Uprising” is meant to provide ideas for policymakers, regulators and residents on encouraging renewable power development in their communities.

The 30-minute film will be shown in conjunction with a new exhibit now on display, “EcoVisionaries: Designs for Living on Earth,” which

reveals how artists create innovative solutions to environmental issues.

Producers Cathy Hartman and Edwin Stafford are USU marketing professors who have studied the possibilities of renewable energy and clean technology since the 1990s.

They were engaged with local grassroots and entrepreneurial efforts to jumpstart wind development in Utah and immediately recognized the historic significance of the building of Utah’s first wind project at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon.

“I love that it’s a true entrepreneurship story,” Stafford said. “The developers are

Utahns who wanted to make a difference in their home state, and the film shows that it took four long years of persistence to achieve that goal.”

Hartman explained she hoped to put a “human face” on the struggle to bring wind power to the state.

“In the film, you can see the developer, his commitment, his frustrations and emotions,” she said.

After the screening, Stafford and Hartman will discuss the film and answer viewers’ questions.

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art is on the USU campus at 650 N. 1100 East.

Parking is available in the

Film Still playing “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” Rated PG-13 ★★★ Oliver Stone was making a statement on the glibly moneyhungry times when his “Wall Street” came out in 1987 and, with it, the iconic figure of Gordon Gekko declaring that greed, for lack of a better word, was good.

Twenty-three years later, greed is still getting a lot of people into a lot of trouble. The entire country, in fact. And so Stone’s latest is the rare sequel that not only feels relevant but necessary. Of course, his hindsight is 20/20. But here, Stone takes the economic collapse of 2008 and places Gekko — played masterfully by Michael Douglas, returning to the role that earned him an Academy Award — in the middle of it. Having been released from federal prison after serving time for securities fraud, money laundering and racketeering, Gekko is now free to swim among even more dangerous sharks than he ever dreamed of being himself.

How will he react? That story line alone could have provided the basis for one meaty, worthwhile movie. “Money Never Sleeps” also crams in a father-daughter story, a few different mentorprotege stories and a romance.

It’s big and loud and brash in an almost operatic way. For a movie about a depressing topic that we’re all-too familiar with, “Money Never Sleeps” is surprisingly entertaining. Shia LaBeouf co-stars, with Frank Langella and Josh Brolin among the strong supporting cast. PG-13 for brief strong language and thematic elements. 133 min.

“The Town” Rated R ★★★ This may not have quite the emotional heft of “Gone Baby Gone,” Ben Affleck’s startlingly assured 2007 directing debut.

What it has instead, though, is a greater technical complexity, a larger scope, and the promise of a director who’s well on his way to establishing a distinctive vision and voice. Affleck also has a way with his actors — unsurprising, having been one himself for so long and not always getting the credit he deserves — and he’s

“You Again” Rated PG ★1⁄2 Really, the women of “You Again” should just get over it. They should move on from the resentments, jealousies and grudges they’ve held onto since high school and embrace the people they’ve become today — even if what they’ve developed into are stock characters in a lame, PG-rated comedy. Instead, they try and tear each other apart in the most crass, slapsticky manner possible. Sure, it’s only a movie, and so any sense of indignation in watching it is probably misplaced. But “You Again” unfortunately perpetuates all the worst cliches about women being insecure, petty, spiteful, competitive and cruel, and it does it in the name of comedy — which is a problem, because it’s pretty much never funny.

What’s truly disheartening: It was written by a woman, Moe Jelline, with her first produced screenplay. Kristen Bell stars as a former nerd whose older brother is marrying the mean girl (Odette Yustman) who tormented her in high school. Coincidentally, Bell’s mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Yustman’s aunt (Sigourney Weaver) are former high school best friends who had an ugly falling out over 30 years ago.

Director Andy Fickman (“She’s the Man”) telegraphs his jokes and sight gags from a mile away; later, his characters have well-timed epiphanies and changes of heart. PG for brief mild language and rude behavior. 105 min. once again attracted some tremendous talent: Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm and Chris Cooper, who leaves his mark in just one powerful scene.

Even Blake Lively is surprisingly good, playing against type as a damaged single mom. But besides directing and co-writing the script with Peter Craig and Aaron Stockard, Affleck himself is at the center of the action in front of the camera, starring as Doug MacRay, the leader of a Boston bank-heist crew, and giving the best leading performance of his career. During the group’s latest crime, Doug’s volatile best friend (Renner) takes a hostage of the bank manager (Hall), but when they realize later that she lives just a few blocks away in insular Charlestown, they check up on her to determine whether she might have seen anything. Doug treats her with unexpected kindness, then ends up befriending her, then falls for her — and she falls for him, too, not knowing she’s getting involved with the

thief who just turned her world upside-down. R for strong violence, pervasive language, some sexuality and drug use. 128 min.

“Easy A” Rated PG-13 ★★★ High school teenager Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) breezes through phrases like “terminal illogical inexactitude,” makes elaborate Google Earth metaphors and does it all without arrogance or even an upturned eyebrow. She is, in short, way out of any teenage boy’s league.

Olive accidentally develops a reputation as an “easy” girl after — to satiate her badgering best friend Rhiannon (Aly Michalka) — she lies about losing her virginity. The rumor, spread by the school’s resident religious zealot Marianne (Amanda Bynes), moves at the speed of Twitter. Like a young actor, Olive embraces the role, even pinning a red “A’’ to her provocative outfits in an ode to Hester Prynne. For all its Hawthorne quoting, “Easy A” is clearly

the stepchild of John Hughes. Will Gluck’s stylish direction of Bert V. Royal’s nimble, word-stuffed script results in a whip-smart film.

It’s a terrifically deadpan, lively performance from Stone, but the adults nearly steal the film. With Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow. PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving teen sexuality, language and some drug material. 93 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 Other Guys” Rated PG-13 ★★★ If the mismatched-buddy cop movie seems egregiously overdone, the idea of a parody of that genre would seem especially needless — which is what makes this such a wonderful surprise.

On paper, this could have been painfully lame. Will Ferrell is doing a variation on his tried-andtrue film persona: the overly earnest guy who’s totally confident and oblivious to his buffoonery.

Mark Wahlberg, meanwhile, is playing with his screen image as a tough guy and a hothead, doing a version of his Oscar-nominated role in “The Departed.” It all could have been too familiar, too cute. But there are just enough tweaks to these characters and this formula — and a refreshingly weird, kinky streak throughout — that make “The Other Guys” an unexpected kick. Director and co-writer Adam McKay’s film runs out of steam in the third act and probably could have been tightened a bit. And we didn’t need the Powerpoint-style presentation over the closing credits preaching to us about corporate greed. But the majority of it works. A big reason for the film’s success is that the action sequences are played totally straight. The comedy similarly has a deadpan tone; it’s selfaware but not tongue-in-cheek.

PG-13 for crude and sexual content, language, violence and some drug material. 101 min.

“L

ET ME IN” IS an American remake of a Swedish horror film, “Let the Right One In,” that came out last year. It’s the story of a young boy named Owen who gets picked on at school by a trio of relentless bullies. He’s an only child and lives with his mother, who is separated from his father. Owen is scrawny, pale and unassuming.

One day a young girl named Abby moves in next door. It’s snowing and cold outside, but Owen realizes she isn’t wearing any shoes. As a matter of fact, she never wears shoes.

She tromps around in the snow without getting the least bit cold. Abby lives with what we assume to be her father.

If you’ve seen “Let the Right One In” or any of the commercials for “Let Me In,” you know Abby is actually a vampire.

(This isn’t a spoiler; you’re supposed to know she’s a vampire.)

The movie is about how a vampire like Abby deals with life in the real world. Her “father,” or more aptly her guardian, has to go out every so often and kill someone in the town in order to satiate Abby’s thirst for blood.

Abby and Owen are kindred spirits — both of them feel down and depressed about their circumstances. They make a perfect couple.

Worry sets in with any remake, making us wonder if

The Reel Place

By Aaron Peck

★★★ “Let Me In” Rated PG

the filmmakers are going to do the original justice without simply remaking the movie shot for shot. For the most part, director Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield”) does this, and “Let Me In” keeps the slow, deliberate nature of the original film.

Abby and Owen hardly talk to each other; much of their time talking is spent in one-word

answers and thoughtful staring.

The problem is, if you’ve seen the original there’s absolutely nothing new here. You know what’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen and for what reason. The movie’s brooding ambiance does a great job at sucking you into the story with its overall dour mood, but there are no surprises. Maybe that’s a good thing that Reeves saw fit to keep pretty true to the original film, which is based off of a book.

“Let Me In” is perfect for people who have yet to watch “Let the Right One In.” It will still hold some fantastic scares, and a plot that is thrilling and sweet at the same time. Sadly for fans of the original you’ll see everything coming a mile away, and the same mood that was created in the first one is replicated here. Also, there are a few added CGI scenes that completely pulled me out of the movie. I realize the original had a CGI cat scene that was downright silly, and that pulled me out of the movie, too. I don’t know why Reeves thought it best to take a movie that tries so hard to not be a conventional horror film and then turn around and add conventional horror elements like herky-jerky CGI of a little vampire girl attacking someone or crawling up a tree.

“Let Me In” is a good horror flick, much better than the impractical jump-out-and-scare-

you movies like “The Grudge” that we always end up getting around this time of year. Don’t let the trailers on TV fool you; “Let Me In” isn’t your regular run-of-the-mill horror film.

People going to it expecting epic vampire bloodbaths are

going in with the wrong mindset. This movie is about two kids trying to overcome their dire situations and the only way they can do it is together.

‘Let Me In’ too similar to its predecessor

Capturing nature ..

Artist Caroline Lavoie reveals ‘essence of a place’

W

hen most people go on a trip, they make sure that they grab the camera — a way to capture all the memories and experiences from the journey. Caroline Lavoie instead grabs her sketch book.

Using fine tipped ink pens, Lavoie strikes off into the wilderness with two sketch books, the metaphorical cages that will catch the scenes she discovers. What she tries to do with each image she creates is to capture the “essence of a place.”

For the past three years Lavoie has been capturing landscapes from the Utah wilderness, ranging from the rambling Logan River in Logan Canyon to the stark rock formations in southern Utah’s arid plains. She has turned those images into a collection that is on display at Fuhrimans Framing and Art Gallery on 75 S. Main St. in Logan.

“It’s a focus on the American landscape in the West. It’s a collection of works, I would say, from the last three years,” Lavoie said.

“Really what I wanted to show is this idea that I draw on site. I don’t draw from photography.”

Upon entering the gallery, the viewer is struck by a lightness — exactly the feel Lavoie was going for, which compliments her minimalist art style well.

“I try to capture the essence of a place with minimal lines. I’m very interested in vanishing lines,” Lavoie said. “I try to

capture the light of the moment, or I try to focus on some part, like the middle ground.”

Another focus she wanted to display was that each of these images came from sketch books. In fact, many of the prints even include the book’s spiral binding. In addition, only a handful of the images have frames. Not having the images framed helps give the impression of a sketch book, and fits well with the open subject matter.

The collection consists of about 50 drawings that range in scale from 1 inch square to 24 by 45 inches. Larger prints are on canvas. Each drawing is done with ink, which Lavoie likes to use because of the commitment it requires.

“I draw by ink only. The reason for me is, especially on site, ink is a total commitment,” Lavoie said.

Lavoie has been painting for about 15 years. She got started during a river trip with some friends where she spent a lot of time waiting and eventually decided to use that time to create landscape drawings. Ever since, she has been exploring her talent and the wilderness, filling numerous sketch books, which end up being some of her most valuable treasures.

“It becomes my journal,” Lavoie said.

“They are irreplaceable.”

These sketch books, if you are lucky enough to see them, give the viewer a glimpse into the process that Lavoie goes

are on display at Fuhrimans Framing and

o create larger images in her second Many of these landscapes span two in her book.

She may have only started drawing landscapes 8 years ago, but Lavoie’s love for nature has been a part of her life for much longer. In fact, you could say it is her livelihood. Lavoie is an associate professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at Utah State University. She received two master’s degrees from the University of Southern California in both landscape architecture and planning.

She also has a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from the Université de Montréal.

Lavoie grew up in Quebec, but has lived in California and now Utah. When she left California for Utah, the plan was to come for just one year for a faculty position at Utah State. Lavoie is still in Cache Valley 15 years later and claims that the Utah landscape has grown on her. She particularly loves the aational and state parks where she travels to capture the essence of the local environment.

“I was going to be here for one year,” Lavoie said. “I thought I would try it for a year. I’d never heard of Utah. I was a very, very urban person, but then I started to embrace the landscape here very much. … I love the landscape here.”

As she continues to draw, Lavoie said she is becoming more and more of a minimalist, using simple lines to convey scale and distance. She enjoys how just a few strokes

of the pen can create an entire landscape for the viewer.

“With the minimal lines, you can see the essence of the beauty,” Lavoie said. “For the exhibition I was trying to show that this was all a part of my journey.”

Sometimes that journey is more dangerous that one would think. In order to get the perfect view for the drawing, Lavoie will spend hours hiking through the wilderness searching. Sometimes, especially when weather gets involved, things can get a little interesting.

“The weather can be a problem, and if it rains you can’t do anything,” Lavoie said.

“There is some risk-taking. The more risktaking you have, the more you are aware of the place you are.”

But she says it is all worth it because a simple photograph does not capture the place like a drawing can.

“You don’t remember a place the same way. You don’t interact,” Lavoie said. “I really get into the place and there is no sense of time anymore.”

The exhibition at Fuhrimans Framing and Art is open until October 8th. Prints of her pieces can be purchased, as well.

I

Life is editing KNOW I USED TO THINK

of editors as niggling mutant vampire gnome-like creatures lurking in dark spaces bent on sucking the life out of my brilliant gifts to the world. But that was long ago, when I aspired to being Hemingway or at least Hunter S. Thompson.

Curiously, both killed themselves in similar ways. I aspire not.

Still alive in middle age, I’ve come to value editing as one of the finer, more useful skills one can perfect in life. And I’m not just saying that to suck up to editors who might be looking at my work.

Without editing, there is too much of everything.

I have been an editor myself at times and have famously lost my temper at colleagues who use “over,” which refers to spacial relationships, instead of “more than,” which refers to amounts. When in an editing mindset, you can completely ignore anything meaningful people have to say just because they used “it’s” instead of “its” or “your” instead of “you’re.” I’ve wasted considerable time trying to come up with a sentence that properly uses their, there and they’re. There’re editors who waste their time on this when there are better things to do.

I was going to say “being a word prig” instead of “nitpicking,” but I have learned from editors to use the colloquial phrase unless you are going for comic effect.

Being too ruffled by lapses in language is a losing battle. Many of the nitpicky things are fluid with time as we add words to the language. “Blogging” is now an official word when I’m not even sure it should be an official practice.

The most annoying three words in the English language right now are “read my blog,” but I’m getting off topic. The true value of editing lies in culling more than nitpicking.

So back to the point — there is too much everything. Facebook, YouTube, e-mail, texting, TiVo, 24/7 shopping, fast food and TV; too much seems never enough for us. “Friend” is a verb and texting has devolved to sexting. If you have a five-terabyte hard drive, you might as well fill it up with every photo and home movie you have ever taken. More isn’t better; it is

just more. A bad photo on a 20megapixel camera just looks fivetimes worse than a bad photo taken on puny five-megapixel camera. A good book has to be a tome and an Oscar-worthy movie has to be twohours-plus to be considered art.

On the other extreme, poetry seems to be words edited down to nothing. Words without punctuation are like a football game without TV timeouts. We need a modicum of structure.

I’ve learned that metaphors should be used sparingly, but editing is itself one. I was reminded of this when culling through everything my parents owned after they died. What is worth keeping? What has meaning? What should be cast aside? You can look at your garden, garage, bookshelf, closet and memories and ask all the same questions.

Without editing, life can be an overwhelming run-on sentence.

Parsimony is my highest aspiration.

Dennis Hinkamp would like to thank the exquisite exiting editor Jamie Baer Nielson for being one of the good ones.

Celebrate big-band era with ‘In the Mood’

“I

N THE MOOD” will play at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 19 and 20 at the Eccles Theatre in downtown Logan. Tickets are $21, $26, $28 and $32 and available at the CVCA Ticket Office, 43 S. Main; online at www.EllenEcclesTheatre.org; or by calling 752-0026.

Now in its 17th year, “In the Mood” is a big-band theatrical swing revue for all ages.

It’s the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Erskine Hawkins, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra and other greats of the 1940s. Featuring a company of 19 including the “In the Mood” singers and dancers with the String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra, the show’s musical arrangements, costumes and choreography are as authentic as it gets.

“In the Mood” takes a retro look at the life and times of America’s greatest generation.

This was a generation where everyone listened and danced to the same style of music ranging from up-tempo big-

band rhythms to mellow intimate ballads, and set a mood that inspired a future filled with hope, promise and prosperity. This was a time like no other in our nation’s history, a time when music moved the nation’s spirit and helped win a war.

“In the Mood” began as a celebration of an unusual era in American music, the 1940s: the Swing Era. On radio, in theaters and ballrooms, the big bands were drawing record crowds while vocal groups and soloists sang a repertory of great songs and, for the last time in the nation’s history, the entire country shared a common popular music. This body of song did much to sustain national morale during World War II. The National Archives in Washington, D.C., brought “In the Mood” to its audiences as part of its commemoration of the 50th anniversary of WWII, and the response was extraordinary, with crowds lining up for hours before curtain time. The engagement was twice extended to extra performances.

In 1993, the Archives presented a repeat performance on Constitution Avenue.

Thousands attended, and many stayed to dance the night away.

As a result, “In the Mood,” in affiliation with the USO, began a series of tours that played to

audiences across the United States during the 50th commemoration of WWII. Since then, “In the Mood” has visited Europe and in 1997, the band and singers were selected to be part of the entertainment for the 53rd

Presidential Inauguration Ball for President and Mrs. Bill Clinton. Touring since 1994, the show’s upcoming national and international performances will continue to portray the spirit of the music that moved the nation.

Local art collection now on display in Brigham City

HE BRIGHAM CITY T Museum-Gallery is showcasing 29 pieces from a prominent local collection

“Winter Scene in New York, 1936” by Waldo Midgley

through Oct. 16.

Artists featured in The Hinckley Collection exhibit include J.T. Harwood, the first of Utah’s late 19th century artists to study in Paris, and Waldo Midgley, a Salt Lake City native who joined New York’s Ashcan school of painters.

Also an etcher and illustrator, Midgley completed paintings of the Empire State Building before its communication tower was erected and tenants began to occupy its offices.

Other artists included in the show are Minerva Teichert, Allan Houser, Calvin Fletcher, Florence Ware, Lee Greene Richards and David Howell Rosenbaum.

In 1943, former Box Elder County principal F.A. Hinckley and his wife donated money to the Box Elder County School District for the purchase of 34 pieces of art. The couple are said to have felt it was important for students to attend school with quality art on the walls. The value of the paintings increased dramatically over the years.

Due to vandalism, the collection is now housed at the Brigham City MuseumGallery.

Patrons can view The Hinckley Collection at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For further information, call museum staff at 435-723-6769.

‘Shadow Woman’ is chilling Swedish noir

By The Associated Press

I

T’S A HOT AUGUST in Gothenburg, Sweden, and the bacchanalian Gothenburg Party (an annual outdoor festival filled with concerts) is in full swing, although attendees aren’t filled with revelry and joy.

Alcohol levels and racial tensions are both extremely high, and a police officer named Aneta Djanali is assaulted, her jaw smashed to bits.

This is but a subplot in Ake Edwardson’s “The Shadow Woman,” and as such, it provides a psychologically dark backdrop for the main story, which involves a murder weight-

ed down with mystery.

A dead woman’s body has been found dumped near a lake, a strange symbol painted in red on a tree near her. She carries no identification, no one has reported a missing woman that matches her description, and the only thing one can say with certainty is after the autopsy: She’s had a child at some point in her life.

With that little to go on, Chief Inspector Erik Winter is forced to embark on an extremely broad investigation to find both a killer and a child, exploring every possible road, from the nearest houses to the crime scene to grainy street videos of the cars

in the area, to finally putting up posters asking for tips.

Each step of the process yields

results, though they are often tiny steps toward solving the case and are not always immediately apparent. The narrative tends to get bogged down in the minutia of detective work, as events occur around the investigation that have no bearing on the central case, and various clues wind up leading nowhere.

While the realistic touches are appreciated, this is perhaps not a book for crime fiction-thriller fans who prefer more action and less of the boring bits.

It’s perhaps compulsory now to refer to Stieg Larsson while reviewing another Swedish author, though there are countless differences between

the Millennium trilogy and Edwardson’s Erik Winter series.

Larsson’s storytelling style is more direct — some dislike the journalistic feel to it, and they might prefer Edwardson’s more evocative, dialogue-heavy prose.

And despite the violent beginning to “The Shadow Woman,” this is a book that quietly sneaks up on you. Interspersed with Winter’s investigation are chapters written from a child’s perspective; hers is the voice that starts Edwardson’s novel, her repeated cries to be reunited with her mother are desolate and powerful — and ultimately she becomes the most crucial part of the mystery.

‘Wicked Appetite’ isn’t Evanovich’s best dish

By The Associated Press

ASTRY CHEF LIZZY P Tucker is known for making the best cupcakes in Salem,

Mass. And in Janet Evanovich’s new novel, “Wicked Appetite,” she’s one of only two people with the ability to locate empowered objects.

Lizzy is unaware of her power. She’s recruited by a mysterious hunk named Diesel to help locate a mystical stone that represents gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Before Diesel and Lizzy can secure the stone, they must find the four charms that lead to it. The charms were divided

among four siblings under a veil of secrecy after the death of their creepy uncle.

Diesel, a charming and brazen character first introduced in a previous Evanovich novel, works for a group whose purpose is to police Unmentionables. He shows up at Lizzy’s house and commandeers her life, and her bed, to protect her from his evil cousin Wulf, who wants Lizzy and the stone for himself.

“Wicked Appetite” is lacking in substance and adventure, and it’s garnished with superfluous scenes. But it does have some witty and sexy moments.

Even the bad guy is alluring.

Wulf may be a killer, but his brutal nature never materializes.

Evanovich, best-selling author of the Stephanie Plum series, infuses an array of colorful characters in “Wicked Appe-

tite,” including a one-eyed cat, a monkey who makes obscene gestures and Lizzy’s friend Glo, a wannabe witch who cannot get her spells right.

This is the first book in

Evanovich’s planned Unmentionable series. It’s not her best dish, but the author keeps serving up the right mix of characters that keep fans coming back for more.

Ladylike looks fill Paris catwalks

NEW MODESTY swept the catwalks on Wednesday, Day Two of the marathon Paris springsummer 2011 ready-to-wear displays, with designers shunning sizzling sex appeal in favor of oversized, grandma-friendly looks that left nearly everything to the imagination.

Swedish rigor ruled the catwalk at Rochas, as the label’s half-Italian, half-Swedish creative director looked to his roots for a wholesome Scandinavian collection that took a step back from today’s frenetic fray.

Belgium’s Dries Van Noten was at the top of his game with a collection that combined menswear staples like widelegged boyfriend jeans and white button-down shirts with sophisticated pieces with a sumptuous Asian touch.

France’s Anne Valerie Hash pumped up the sex factor — without uncovering too much skin — with delicately draped shirtdresses and wrap trousers that were shorn of their fussy closures for easier access.

Pierre Cardin, the veteran

A model displays a creation by French designer Franck Sorbier during his ready-to-wear spring-summer 2011 fashion collection by Chevrolet Fashion Catwalk, presented in Paris.

Paris designer who fields a collection not once a season but only every few years, was having none of this new modesty. The father of the Space Age look, whose futuristic cat suits and zany sheath dresses shot him into fame more than half a century ago, stayed true to his intergalactic style, sending out an endless parade of spandex and sequin-covered gear that was ready for take-off.

“What was young and fresh 40 years ago is still young and fresh today,” he told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. “I’m like a painter, a writer, a musiPatterning takes center stage in Italian cian, I have my own designer Marco Zanini’s ready- to-wear style. I don’t copy anyone, and really it’s more collection for Rochas.

the others who copy me.”

Point taken. Even if fashion insiders were often hard-pressed to suppress their laughter during Cardin’s heartfelt display, it’s hard to deny the vastness of his influence.

There was more than a hint of it on display at Felipe Oliveira Baptista, a young Portuguese designer who was recently tapped by French sportswear giant Lacoste. Baptista’s retrofuturistic silhouettes — second-skin leotards with lozenge-shaped cutouts and sheath dresses with scythe-shaped appliques — looked like cool, selfaware takes on Cardin’s staples.

Paris’ ready-to-wear shows moved into day three out of nine on Thursday with displays by zany Indian designer Manish Arora — another of Cardin’s disciples — sizzling Paris label Balmain and California native

Kimono shirts in flowerprinted silk were paired with wide-legged trousers, and the classic men’s button-down shirt — ever a cool-girl staple — morphed into skirts. It was what a cool young Parisienne might wear if a weekend visit to her boyfriend in Hong Kong turned into a weeklong stay and she had to raid his closet.

The collection managed a perfect mélange of ladylike sensuousness and relaxed chill, and the fabrics reflected that — with a magpie’s mix of sequins and high-sheen Lurex-shot knits and workaday cotton canvas in white and khaki.

Noten, whose gift for color has made him a critical darling and won him legions of devoted fans, said the collection was born out of his search for “a beautiful fabric.”

“We started looking at Chinese pottery, which is something that I’ve always loved,” the Antwerp-based designer told The AP backstage. “The colors started quite bright, so then we started to bleach them away.”

Rick Owens, whose somber post-apocalyptic aesthetic is anything but sunny. Onetime wunderkind Zac Posen will also make his Paris debut after years of showing in New York.

But first, the fashion glitterati were celebrating Roberto Cavalli’s 40th anniversary in the industry with a star-studded gala at Paris’ Ecole de Beaux Arts.

The Italian designer, whose name has become shorthand for his trademark trust-fund hippy look, showed his first collection in the City of Light four decades ago.

DRIES VAN NOTEN The show might have been held on the docks of the Seine River, but the scent of the South China Sea enveloped the collection.

A dress by Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista, shown during his ready-to-wear spring-summer 2011 fashion collection in Paris, features a delicate skirt and tuxedo detailing.
