FROM THE EDITOR An EGOT is coming to Cache Valley.

I have to admit, I didn’t know anything about the seemingly mythical winner of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award until it was brought to my attention by Tracy Morgan’s character, Tracy Jordan, on an episode of “30 Rock” a few years back.

But after I heard about it, how could you not be impressed by the idea of an entertainer being well-rounded enough to win a major award in four different arenas?

Rita Moreno, who will be the speaker at the Dean’s Convocation at USU’s Caine College of the Arts at 7 p.m. Monday in the Caine Performance Hall, holds the dis-

tinction of being just one of a dozen entertainers to win the industry’s “grand slam.”

And she needed only 16 years to do it.

Moreno won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (“West Side Story”) in 1961; a Grammy for Best Recording for Children (“Electric Company”) in 1972; a Tony for Best Featured or Supporting Actress in a Play (“The Ritz”); and an Emmy in 1977 for her performance as guest host of “The Muppets.”

Moreno, who also won another Emmy in ’78 for a guest spot on “The Rockford Files,” is joined on the EGOT list by: Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin and Robert Lopez.

It should be noted, however, that Tracy Jordan — or Tracy Morgan, for that mat-

ter — did not come up with the term “EGOT.” It was actually one of the stars of “Miami Vice.” You know, the one who wasn’t Don Johnson/Sonny Crockett.

It was Tubbs.

Also known as the only man with three first names who is not a serial killer, Philip Michael Thomas is believed to have coined the term, likely because he made a brief attempt at a music career in the mid’80s and figured an EGOT was inevitable.

But when it comes to music, Philip Michael Thomas was no Don Johnson — does anyone besides me remember “Heartbeat” and the corresponding video of Johnson portraying a brave photojournalist? — and three decades later, Thomas has won all but four of awards that make up the vaunted EGOT. — Jeff Hunter

‘Martian’ hits big screen Matt Damon movie even better than Weir’s book

Andy Weir’s hip-hiphooray science novel “The Martian” was a runaway bestseller hit. It struck dead center at the innate curiosity humans have of life beyond Earth. It also highlighted steely human resolve and our instinctive survival talents. But one shouldn’t be surprised when they find out that Ridley Scott’s adaption of Weir’s novel is better in just about every conceivable way.

“The Martian” is set in an indeterminate but near-ish future where NASA is routinely flying manned exploration missions to Mars.

Biologist Mark Watney (Matt Damon), the sarcastic geek of the current Ares 3 mission, finds himself stranded on the Red Planet after he’s hit with debris during a particularly bad Martian storm. The mission is scrubbed. Watney is left for dead. His crew thinks he’s dead. NASA is sure he’s dead.

Only, he’s not dead.

Watney wakes up after the storm is over. His crew is headed back to Earth and now he has to figure out a way to survive until the next Ares mission arrives years from now.

While Weir’s novel was quite the page-turner, his

Matt Damon stars as astronaut Mark Watney in “The Martian.”

penchant for referencing all his geeky knowledge soon became tiresome. His constant pop-culture recall is not nearly as taxing as Ernest Cline’s (“Ready Player One”), but it was a good

decision to leave most of it out of the movie’s screenplay.

The movie also understands Watney as a human, rather than a flat character to push a storyline through.

Weir’s version of Watney was a smug, joking scientist who never seemed to be all too worried about being stranded on an alien planet.

The novel didn’t really give him any human connection to home, only ever mentioning his parents in one paragraph.

Damon was the perfect choice for the film. He imbues Watney with humanistic sensibilities that were simply invisible in the novel.

Damon balances Watney’s wise-cracking personality with a real humanistic desire See BIG on Page 13

all mixed up Annual Moondog Dog ready to howl Oct. 10 There is no moon like an autumn moon. And there’s no better way to celebrate it than a Moondog Ball.

A-RO-OO-OO! This happy howl from Four Paws Rescue is your invitation to join them for the 15th annual Moondog Ball on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Continuing their longstanding tradition, the rescue’s festive fundraiser will take place

at the Logan Golf & Country Club, 710 N. 155 East. Hors d’oeuvres will be served at 7 p.m. and dancing will begin at 9 p.m. Attire, as usual, is fashionably “dress to impress” — an unofficial cross between very formal and not so formal.

The evening’s festivities will feature the Joe McQueen Quartet, led by 95-year-old jazz legend Joe McQueen, who has played with Count

Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and more; followed by dance music from the local band The Raindogs, performances by Shimmering Sands Belly Dance and the USU Big Band Swing Dance Club.

One of the fundraising event’s “quietest” highlights will be its hugely successful silent auction.

Among the organizations providing the hors d’oeuvres

are Firehouse Pizzeria, Tandoori Oven, Beehive Grill, Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, Taste Buds Food Truck and Mobile Bistro.

Tickets are $55 and are available at Caffé Ibis, The Italian Place and The Island Market, as well as online at www.4paws.petfinder.org.

Lone Prairie set to play

Christiansen’s band to perform Thursday night

Corey Christiansen’s Lone Prairie Band will perform at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 8, at the Morgan Theatre in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Utah State University campus.

Christiansen, director of guitar studies in the Caine College of the Arts at USU, created the band by fusing the concepts of modern jazz and improvised music with the melodies of the American frontier.

“This is a really great band made up of top-tier musicians from New York City, Seattle and Indiana,” Christiansen said. “The students are going to get to hear me play with my national touring and recording band which is rare because of the obvious logistical problems of having a band with members from across the United States.”

The Lone Prairie Band includes Zach Lapidus (keyboard), Jeremy Allen (bass), Matt Jorgenson (drums) and Michael Spiro (percussion).

Pedal Punk coming to Cache Valley From the inventive Cirque Mechanics comes Pedal Punk, a Steampunk-inspired acrobatic whirlwind where cycling is the escape from technology obsessed society.

In Pedal Punk we experience the excitement, artistry and thrill that occurs when a zany bike shop mechanic interacts with cyclists and bikes and repairs more than broken pieces. He creates wondrous machines that come to life and inspires the cyclist in all of us to unite with our inner Pedal Punk.

The Cirque Mechanics show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, and Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Tickets start at $25 and are available online at cachearts.com, by calling 752-0026 or at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Box Office at 43 S. Main St. Creative director Chris Lashua spent most of his career on a BMX bike and inside a German wheel (a large wheel that performers do gymnastics and acrobatics inside). This new production showcases his innate passion and fascination for all things bicycles and cycling. The synergy between man and machine, the hallmark of Cirque Mechanics, is magnificently exposed in Pedal Punk. It is that synergy that The New York Times called “exceptional, evocative, eye-catching and grossly entertaining … in a word, excellent.”

‘Hotel Transylvania 2’ bites off new record LOS ANGELES (AP) — September has a new box office star in “Hotel Transylvania 2.” The PG-rated animated pic earned a robust $47.5 million in its debut weekend, making it the top September opener of all time, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.

The previous record holder was “Hotel Transylvania” which opened to $42.5 million in 2012.

“It really is something the whole AP Photo family can agree to see. There are “Hotel Transylvania 2” raked in $47.5 million laughs for adults, kids, and teenagers at the box office over the weekend. as well,” said Rory Bruer, president of

worldwide distribution for Sony.

According to the studio, an estimated 59 percent of audiences were female and 60 percent were under the age of 25.

Paul Dergarabedian, a Senior Media Analyst for box office tracker Rentrak, noted that the film capitalized on early excitement for Halloween. It’s also serving an audience eager for more family friendly animated content.

“This year hasn’t been oversaturated with family animated films, it seems like virtually all have done well,” he said.

Richards making moves Guitarist still with Stones, releases new solo record

NEW YORK (AP) — Keith Richards had a goal when he was readying the release of his first solo album in two decades: Get his Rolling Stones bandmates excited about recording their own music. “(The band is) going to get in the studio, which was one of my aims really of doing this (solo) one. (It) was, ‘Hey, Rolling Stones, you haven’t been in the studio for 11 years. ...

It’s time to get in the studio,’” Richards said in an interview with The Associated Press last week.

The Stones’ last album was “A Bigger Bang” in 2005. Richards’ “Crosseyed Heart,” his first solo album since 1982, debuted at No. 11 on Billboard’s 200 albums chart this week.

The veteran guitarist said the Stones are his top priority, so when he found a small break from the band, he used the time to put out his

‘Empire’ returns with huge ratings NEW YORK (AP) — “Empire” came back to the Fox lineup with a flourish, while NBC’s thriller “Blindspot” looks to be one of the season’s hottest new shows.

Meanwhile, reliable CBS continued atop the Nielsen company’s television rankings as a new broadcast season started, on the strength of old reliables like “The Big Bang Theory,” ‘’NCIS” and “60 Minutes,” with younger shows “Scorpion” and “Life in Pieces” also hitting Nielsen’s top 20.

A new season means new habits for viewers, or at least getting back into old ones. Among the top four networks, CBS held its own compared to the first week of last season while NBC, ABC and Fox all slipped. But Nielsen’s same day ratings only tell part of the story now; networks will get a truer measure of successes and failures when they can factor in time-delayed viewing.

There’s no need for second looks at “Empire,” which was seen by 16.2 million viewers upon its return. Even better for Fox, half of those viewers were in the 18-to-49-year-old age group that advertisers love, and no other scripted show had as many as 6 million viewers in that demographic.

NBC’s “Blindspot,” the heavily promoted series about a mystery woman found in Times Square with a world of tattoos, feels like a hit out of the box with 10.6 million viewers.

CBS averaged 10.9 million viewers for the week.

NBC averaged 8.9 million, and won among the 18-to-49-year-old viewers demographic.

For the week of Sept. 21-27, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Denver at Detroit, NBC, 22.07 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 18.2 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 18.19 million; NFL Football: Washington at N.Y.

Jets at Indianapolis, ESPN, 12.48 million.

unfolding scenario is mesmerizing. Macer is somewhat crippled by her insistence that law enforcement should play by the rules when dealing with a threat that most certainly does not. If Graver has any sort of emotional tugof-war with ethics, he doesn’t show it.

Instead he flaunts the rules with reckless abandon.

If Graver is the emotionally detached one, then Alejandro is the emotionally invested one. The bits and pieces we discover about him might lead one to believe that he’s a bit too involved. It’s personal. Macer’s just trying to survive with her psyche still intact and Graver’s having too much fun, but Alejandro is a coldblooded vigilante with nothing to lose.

What Villeneuve has constructed here is a stark visage of the drug war’s unbelievable brutality. A film that will, for better or worse, stick with you long after you see it.

Graver recruits Macer for a clandestine mission.

Macer’s naivety and curiosity overcome her better judgement. She knows that this mission doesn’t feel “right.” It’s not by AP Photo the book, so to speak.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, October 2, 201

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

The moment you realize that “Sicario” isn’t your typical action film about American agents taking down Mexican drug cartels comes ferociously quick. Within minutes of the opening credits, a team of FBI agents storms a suburban home, and after dispatching of its drug-dealing occupants, finds no less than two dozen bodies embedded between the house’s sheetrock.

It’s a horrific introduction to Denis Villeneuve’s startlingly bleak War on Drugs crusade.

Villeneuve, director of seedy noirish thrillers like “Enemy” and “Prisoners,” approaches the drug war unlike any other movie has approached it. Imagine if “Clear and Present Danger” played out as more of an esoteric nightmare rather than Harrison Ford expertly kicking drug lord butt.

It’s sinister and dark and foreboding. Villeneuve demonstrates how a filmmaker can use the medium of cinema to create an unexpected surprise from stereotypical subject matter.

Along for the ride is acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins, who bathes the entire movie in skillfully framed shots and magnificently morbid visuals. There’s a moment in the film where a convoy of black SUVs zips across the American border headed into Mexico. The aerial camera follows as this snake-like line of transportation weaves in and out of traffic, undulating like a living organism.

‘Sicario’ is a ‘stark visage’ of drug war

‘FACTORY GIRLS’

In the intimate surroundings of the Black Box Theatre in the Chase Fine Arts Center at Utah State University, five women share their story of struggle against misogyny and oppression. “Factory Girls” by Frank McGuinness focuses on five women in 1982 working in a shirt factory in Ireland. These women not only face sexism from their male bosses but are faced with poorer and poorer working conditions. Finally, one day, they decide to protest by locking themselves in their boss’s office, demanding change.

Director Leslie Brott said she chose the play because it has five great roles for women.

“In this business and in theater schools, we always have a lot of really great women and a lot of women to choose from when they audition for school.

While we also have a lot of great men, the industry is flooded with women,” Brott said. “But just like the film industry and the television industry, the theater industry has pretty much two-to-one for men, sometimes three-to-one for men in all of dramatic literature that’s written. The stories are usually about men. This was a story that had five great roles for women with a definite journey for all of them.”

The play is heavy with themes of misogyny, sexism, workers’ rights, motherhood, domestic violence, generational divide and how women can come together to help support one another. The characters are complex and well-developed women, and McGuinness doesn’t let anyone off the hook easily.

According to Brott, the hardest part of directing the play is getting the young actors in the mindset of women who were all grown up before most of the

actors were born.

“These are young ladies who live in the 21st century. They’re representing women and women’s stories from 1980, the decade of the ’80s in Ireland, which was a fairly repressive country. The oldest one in the cast is 23,” Brott said. “For them to imagine living in a country where women aren’t represented in the labor force, obviously with regard to collective bargaining, that they have a marginalized voice, is hard to imagine. It’s the historical context that is the biggest difficulty.”

Kyra Sorensen plays Vera, a mother of two who also experiences domestic abuse.

“She’s a woman who has been told her entire life that she is second best,” Sorensen said. “She has to deal with domestic violence and has two kids. She has to fend for herself for once, and it gets pretty violent.”

Sorensen described the play as being about a group of women who are able to find both love and freedom, and are able to maintain both of those through each other. The play is also about women’s

rights in an environment that berates women.

“It’s about women finding their voice and standing up for themselves.”

Savannah Hubbard plays Rebecca, a quiet single woman who finds her own voice by the end of the play. For Hubbard, one of the most impactful themes of the play is the fact the same things, such as unequal pay for women and misogyny in the workplace, still happen to women.

“It’s amazing to me that women still have to deal with this today,” Hubbard said. “Even as an actor, we have to deal with this. It blows me away.”

Jennifer Grzybowski plays Ellen, an older woman who is the ringleader of the group. “(Ellen) needs to be in control. She even says, she’s ‘nobody with nothing,’” Grzybowski said.

“She derives self-importance from being the boss.”

Grzybowski also performed earlier this year in the “Vagina Monologues” at USU, and she said that you can’t come away from that without being a feminist.

“It still happens today. Women are still paid less,” she said. “This is still a contemporary play.”

STORY BY Kelly Cannon PHOTOS BY John Zsiray

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, October 2, 201

I believe that things don’t happen for a reason. Things happen and we assign a selffulfilling reason to those things.

I believe that dogs are our best-imagined selves; always happy, oblivious to time and ready for a snack and a nap no matter what the time of day.

I don’t know if more people actually die from taking selfies than from shark attacks, but I want to believe it’s both true and fitting.

I believe that Googling yourself should actually tickle even if only metaphorically.

I believe that everything is clearer in hindsight, though

Slightly Off Center DENNIS HINKAMP

Page 10 -

This is what Dennis thinks he believes

hindsight sounds vaguely obscene and it reminds me of an old joke. A guy walks into a bus and sees someone sitting on a newspaper. He asks, “Are you reading that?”

I believe that children are our future … whether we like it or not.

I believe I can fly, but I don’t want to because

It’s time to hit the beach in a California camper van from Volkswagen ... just not in California. Or the United States, for that matter.

I always get stuck in the middle seat between the fat guy and the mom with a screaming baby.

I believe this makes me long for the days of smoking sections on airlines.

I believe that VW deserves the harshest punishment possible; not for the diesel emissions scam but for no longer

selling camper vans in the U.S. while at the same time naming the camper van they sell in Europe, “The California.” For this I hope they have to inhale diesel fumes for the rest of their short natural lives.

I believe I now know why old is the last three letters of cold.

I believe I missed get-

ting a good shot of the super, eclipse, harvest, blood moon, but this will act as an incentive for me to live another 18 years to see it again.

I believe that editing is the most powerful urge in the universe; well, second only to thinking you are the smartest person in the room. Of course, I guess just writing that makes it appear that I think I’m the smartest person in the room, even though at the time I am writing this I am the only person in the room. So, in a sense I can’t lose on this one.

I believe that playing Trivial Pursuit without being able to use your smart phone is either the new ultimate brain exercise or ultimate modern form of torture.

Unless you are actually

handicapped or have both your arms full of equipment ... if you press the handicapped button to open the door, I believe a just god would instantly paralyzed your hand for at least a week.

I believe in that that awkward moment during your annual physical when you are about to be digitally manipulated, and your doctor says “This is probably going to show up in your next column” is actually going to show up in my next column I believe that roots are the money of all evil. I don’t even know what that means; I just liked the way it sounded.

The Jerusalem Quartet are young to be celebrating their 20th season together.

Alexander Pavlovsky, Sergei Bresler, violin; Ori Kam, viola; and Kyril Zlotnikov, cello, met when they were young teens studying at the Jerusalem Conservatory of Music and Dance and first performed together professionally in 1995.

They quickly found a shared commitment to the music that has not only endured, but has propelled them to the highest level of performance. The Strad called them “one of the young, yet great quartets of our time.” BBC Music Magazine raved, “An absolute triumph. Their playing has everything you could possibly wish for.”

The Jerusalem Quartet unfurls the Chamber Music Society of Logan’s 35th anniversary season with the Eastman Nibley Hatch Opening Concert, performing Haydn’s String Quar-

Play Continued from Page 4 Christiansen calls their upcoming album a “perfect blend of all my musical influences from straight-ahead jazz to Jimi Hendrix; from simple melodies and a blues esthetic to sophisticated harmonies and lush guitar tones.

“I’m pleased that the students will not only get to experience this music and the great musicians in the band, but also will get to hear me in my element,” said Christiansen.

“They’ll get a taste of what I do when I’m on the road.”

Tickets for the show are $10 adults, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

tet in G major, Op. 77, No. 1; Bartok’s String Quartet No. 5; and Dvorak’s String Quartet in F Major, Op. 96 “The American.” After completing this quartet in only 16 days, Dvorak said, “When I wrote this quartet in the Czech community of Spillville (Iowa) in 1893, I wanted to write something for once that was very melodious and straightforward, and dear Papa Haydn kept appearing before my eyes, and that is why it all turned out so simply. And it’s good that it did.”

The Chamber Music Society of Logan presents The Jerusalem Quartet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, at the USU Performance Hall. Tickets are $24, $10 for students, available at the Caine College of the Arts box office, by calling797-8022 or online at arts.usu.edu, as well as at the door on the night of the concert.

“Nancy Meyers is her own

brand and I think that automatically accesses an audience who looks at it and thinks ‘this is a movie I want to see,’” said Jeff Goldstein, an executive vice president at Warner Bros., of the veteran filmmaker known for films like “It’s Complicated.”

“Here we have a real hit,” he said.

YES, YES, YES THE INTERNATIONAL BRASS BAND COMEDY SHOW THAT WAS MEANT TO BE SEEN, HEARD AND SMELLED!

“Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” took third place in its second weekend in theaters with $14 million — a 54 percent drop from its opening.

The film has brought in $51.7 million to date.

“Everest,” meanwhile, landed in fourth place with only $13.1 million after expanding nationwide. The fact-based

I think they’ve been a bit scared of getting in the studio together. Well, we’re gonna see what comes out of that because after this amount of time off there’s obviously gonna be some rust to knock off, but at the same time, we’ve been working a lot on the road. The

adventure film opened only on IMAX and premium large format 3D screens last weekend.

said Nick Carpou, who heads Universal’s domestic distribution. “When you add the two weekends together and the mid-weeks in between, sitting here at $23 million feels really good.”

Dergarabedian said that perhaps the competition over the same audience is the reason for “Everest’s” soft weekend.

time. Two or three of these songs were coming out of stuff I was writing for the Stones and then we reached our deadline there so these things were left over, so I said, ‘Well, that doesn’t mean they ain’t finished.’ As a songwriter you just pick up things, the deadline don’t matter. ... I’ve got songs lying around for 25 years and I still haven’t finished them.

AP: How did it feel to release both an album and a documentary in the same week?

Richards: One minute there’s nothing, then it’s BOOM! I’m still reeling and rocking from it all. One thing is to bring out a record, at the same time, to bring out this documentary was double duty. I’m waiting for paycheck! (Laughs.)

AP: Your album earned positive reviews — do you ever read those things?

Richards: I don’t want to be stroked too much.

I’m interested in other people’s point of views at the same time. I’ve been beautifully stroked this week. I’m so glad people like it as much. Me? I’m just gonna make a record, you know, throw it out there and see, and then it’s up to everybody else to see how they feel about it. ... It’s been a bit mind-blowing, actually. It also gives me a little bit of leverage with the other guys. (Laughs.)

AP: Your last solo album, “Main Offender,” was released in 1992. Do

you think your next solo album will come sooner rather than later?

Richards: The speed (that) this world’s going right now (laughs), I don’t think it’s gonna be another 20 odd years. I don’t think I have that much in me. But I loved making this record. ... I wouldn’t say, ‘It’s impossible.’ You know, I’d do another one in the next year or so. You can’t tell with me. Nor can I. (Laughs.)

AP: Why do you feel that Netflix was the best outlet to showcase your documentary?

Richards: Because it was there and because I know very, very little about outlets and inlets. ... I leave this to other people like Miss Jane Rose (his manager). I’m not a businessman particularly, I just happen to make lots of money. ...

(Laughs.) Maybe that’s a way to be a businessman, I don’t know, but all I can say is I do what I do and I have the people that I trust and I love and have been around me for many years.

AP: Do you think you’d do a solo tour to support this album?

Richards: Given the way this one’s going and given the way it was made, I’m interested in continuing the process, yeah. Sometime next year. I mean, you’re rushing me. (Laughs.) But it’s a good idea. I’m thinking about it now.
