FROM THE EDITOR Thanks to Aurora Hughes Villa and the well-decorated buses of the Cache Valley Transist District, the arts program at the Cache County School District continues to pick up speed. And awards. In recent years, selected artworks by Cache County students have been placed on CVTD buses. Spearheaded by Villa, the arts coordinator for the Cache County School District, the Art in Transist proj-
ect was recently awarded the Sorenson Legacy Award for Excellence in Art Education in the category of Exemplary Arts Program Initiative. The award also comes with a prize of $5,000, which Villa said will be put back into the Art in Transist program as well as used for other art projects throughout the district. An assistant professor of art who taught at the elementary, middle and high school levels as an art teacher, Hughes Villa received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Buffalo State College and a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She kicked off the Art in Transist program five years ago, and the displays have been a huge hit ever since. “Art in Transit provides quality arts experience for school-aged children, innovative strategies for involving stakeholders and has expanded the district’s commitment to arts education while broadening arts experiences for the entire community,” Hughes Villa told The Herald Journal earlier this week. “The award was not just for the Art in Transit, but the Art in Transit was the initiative that started the arts program.” — Jeff Hunter
Latest movie creates an origin story for Peter Pan
– Fox’s Chris Aronson on the box-office success of ‘The Martian’ (Page 10)
By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
“Pan” is insanely weird, casually ridiculous and full of all sorts of head-scratching moments. So, maybe that’s why I couldn’t help but like this loveable little outcast of a movie. I don’t know. Sometimes you’re just in the mood for bizarre, and “Pan” certainly delivered on that front. Why shouldn’t Peter Pan get an origin story? All the cool superheroes do nowadays — and by any stretch of the word that’s just what he is (he can fly, after all). So, in swoops “Pan,” another adaption (a very loose one indeed) of J.M. Barrie’s timeless story of Neverland, pirates, fairies and a boy who flies. We begin with the soon-tobe orphaned boy Peter being dropped off by a nameless woman at a shelter. She’s obviously broken up about leaving the boy, but we have no idea why. The entire bit at the orphanage is probably the movie’s weakest aspect. Peter (Levi Miller) and his mates are ruled over by the Miss Trunchbull-esque dictator nun Mother Barnabas (Kathy Burke), who literally snarls as she speaks. It’s over the top, but so is the rest of the movie (cue shoulder shrug).

★★★ ‘Pan’ Director // Joe Wright Starring // Levi Miller, Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, Garrett Hedlund, Amanda Seyfried, Cara Delevingne Rated // PG for fantasy action violence, language and some thematic material
We’re in the midst of war time in London. The city is being bombed by the Germans, but that appears to be the least of Peter’s worries. Instead the boys in the shelter are more concerned about the fact that it seems every night more and more boys go missing. I’ll just say this, it’s an interesting
device to get Peter to Neverland for the first time. When Peter first runs into the Neverland pirates, they are improbably singing Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in perfect unison as the ruthless Captain Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) leads them. This is one of those head-
scratchers I mentioned in the introduction. Wasn’t Peter just taken from a war-torn London in the 1940s? And now these pirates are singing a grunge-rock anthem from the early ’90s? It was all a little much. It almost felt as strange as the medieval peasants clapping along with Queen’s “We Will Rock You” in “A Knight’s Tale.” Then I thought, Didn’t Peter just arrive in Neverland via floating pirate ship, which before it engaged in its vertical ascent to a fictional space-island, was involved in an aerial dogfight with British war See PAN on Page 13
Pet: Jinx From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Cute little Jinxy was found in someone’s engine when he was 5 weeks old. He rode back and forth from Smithfield to Logan twice before someone was able to get him out. He has been living in a foster home with a dog and child ever since. Jinxy is fearless and seems to make it his mission to get along with everyone. Indoor only. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please call Sheri at 787-1751 or send an email to scfourpaws@ hotmail.com.

Annual Moondog Dog set to howl Saturday 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. Four Paws Rescue, a volunteer-run organization, was founded in 1995 and was reg-
istered as a non-profit in 2000. Committed to rescuing stray and abandoned cats, dogs, kittens and puppies (many from high-kill shelters), the rescue works out of a shelter situated on 11 acres of land in Cache Valley. Four Paws provides the animals they save with sanctuary, food, and medical care See HOWL on Page 11

Cold Creek will be performing as part of the “Country Roads Family Pops Concert” at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.
A little taste of yesteryear Cold Creek to play as part of AFCO’s ‘Country Roads’ show The American Festival Chorus & Orchestra, conducted by Craig Jessop, will kick off its 2015-16 season with the “Country Roads Family Pops Concert,” featuring Utah’s premier bluegrass band, Cold Creek.

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.

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.”

‘The Martian’ scores big at the box office NEW YORK (AP) — Opening just days after NASA announced findings showing water on Mars, “The Martian” soaked up moviegoers at the box office. Ridley Scott’s 3-D space epic touched down in theaters with a robust $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The 20th Century Fox release, starring Matt Damon as an astronaut left for dead on Mars, exceeded expectations to nearly rank as the top October debut ever. The estimated North American opening of “The Martian” surpassed that of Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” ($47.5 million) and virtually equaled the debut of Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity” ($55.8 million). It’s Scott’s second best opening behind 2001’s “Hannibal” and Damon’s second best after 2007’s
Leno returns in ‘Garage’ New car-themed show hits prime time on CNBC BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Jay Leno says it’s been easy to lure Francis Ford Coppola, Laurence Fishburne and other famous folks to his new car-centric TV show. All he has to do is assure them that “Jay Leno’s Garage,” debuting at 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday on CNBC, won’t veer off the road. “We say, ‘We’re not gonna talk about show business or your career, we’re just going to talk about cars,’” according to Leno. The usual response, he said: “Great!” The Detroit-born Coppola, for example, is a car enthusiast, with his 1988 movie about an independent automaker, “Tucker: The Man and His Dream,” just one indication of that. And there’s this fun fact: Coppola’s musician-father, Carmine, worked on “The Ford Sunday Evening Hour,” a radio series sponsored by automaker Ford. In an “old Italian custom of the day, you named your son after your employer,” Leno said, hence the filmmaker’s middle name. Another guest, Keanu Reeves, is a known gearhead with a start-up motorcycle company, giving Leno See LENO on Page 11

DVR usage alters Nielsen picture NEW YORK (AP) — Football and CBS — sometimes both —dominated ratings during the second week of the television season. Increasingly, though, the Nielsen company’s weekly list of most popular programs is most valuable as a first draft report on how the business is going. Each Tuesday, Nielsen releases data on how many people watched programs the previous week on the night they first aired. Later reports pick up on how many people watch on a time-delayed basis, and that often changes the picture dramatically. For instance, two football games topped the ratings in last week’s report. But when Nielsen’s count of people who watched a program within three days — instead of just the first night — was added in, the CBS comedy “The Big Bang Theory” gained 28 percent in viewership to move into first place. Fox’s hit “Empire” had 16.2 million viewers its first night, and increased to 20.8 million with the next two days figured in, Nielsen said. ABC’s new drama “Quantico” had a modest 7.1 million viewers its first night, but jumped 56 percent to 11.2 million within three days. ABC’s “Scandal,” ‘’Modern Family” and “How to Get Away With Murder” all increased their audience by more than onethird within three days. Fox’s much-hyped “Scream Queens” had 4 million viewers initially, and jumped to a more respectable 6.2 million within three days. “Fewer people are watching live TV,” said Marc Berman, editor-in-chief of TV Media Insights. For the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 4, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Dallas at New Orleans, NBC, 24.18 million; NFL Football: Baltimore at Pittsburgh, CBS, 19.44 million; “Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick,” NBC, 17.85 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 16.53 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 15.23 million; “Empire,” Fox, 13.74 million; “The Voice” (Tuesday), NBC, 13.6 million; NFL Football: Kansas City at Green Bay, ESPN, 13.51 million; “The OT,” Fox, 13.28 million; “NCIS: New Orleans,” CBS, 12.86 million.
Soarin’ Over California, I don’t think I’ve ever had such an interactive experience in front of an IMAX screen. As Petit steps out onto that tight rope it’s otherworldly. I suppose this is why 3D exists. It’s so often used as a gimmick to make things appear like they’re protruding from the screen. Yet, Zemeckis uses the 3D depth to produce impossible images that convey real height. How he plays with foreground and background is nothing short of masterful. It’s so realistic, in fact, that the movie has already been reported to trigger vertigo symptoms in some people. So, while the drama may be a bit oversaturated and fluffy, it’s more than balanced out by the pure visual spectacle that Zemeckis has created. There’s nothing quite like that first time the camera slowly pans down the World Trade Center to the streets below. It’s sort of magical really. Unless, of course, you suffer from vertigo.

If you’ve ever seen the documentary “Man on Wire,” you know that tightrope exhibitionist performer Philippe Petit is quite the character. He’s infused with an infectious sense of positivity; contagious enough, even, to carry over to Robert Zemeckis’ adaption of Petit’s deathdefying story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt embodies the insatiable personality that is Petit. He’s taken flack for his “bad” accent and ridiculous looking wig, but once you’re invested in the story, they become minor quibbles that fade into the background. We begin with Petit standing on the torch of the Statue of Liberty narrating his own story. The whole surreal scenario feels more like a stage play than a movie, but it works here. Behind him are the World Trade Center towers. Later on an apathetic member of Petit’s group will describe the towers as looking like a couple of gigantic filing cabinets. However plain they may have looked, it’s still quite striking to see them displayed so prominently in a movie. It’s been too long and it’s nice to have them back. Petit’s story makes for a wonderful memorial of the towers themselves. For those that don’t know, in 1974 during a clandestine mission, Philippe Petit and a group of accomplices covertly strung a tightrope cable between the two towers. Petit successfully completed the act, which was dubbed

Zemeckis’ ‘Walk’ worth taking in 3D
A THEATRE OF THRILLS & C F
STORY BY ERICK WOOD
or 19 years, the Odyssey Dance Theatre has been presenting its Halloween-themed haunted extravaganza, “Thriller” all over Utah and the surrounding region. This fall, the two traveling dance companies perform “Thriller” at eight different venues, including a two-night stint earlier this week at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. “’Thriller’ is a series of vignettes of all your favorite Halloween horror characters presented in a dance format that shows a little different side of their characters,” founder, CEO and artistic director Deryl Yeager explained. “You’ll see all kinds of dance forms in the show. Production values have increased dramatically, but a lot of the original pieces created for the show are still audience favorites. “Each year we change up a little something to make it fresh for returning patrons,” Yeager continued. For audience members who have seen the show in previous years, there were a few fresh faces to see, one of those is a T-Rex that was inspired by the summer blockbuster “Jurassic World.” “We have some new movies and some new spots by the T-Rex. We actually found some amazing costumes in China (including the T-Rex costume), and we felt we could create some bits and a dance number around it,” Yeager said. The Odyssey Dance Theatre is made up of 30 dancers, over half of which are Utah born dancers. “We have two casts; both productions have basically the same major elements but some of the smaller acts in between numbers will be different,”
Yeager explained. “For example, the tour company has Bubbles the Clown and the Logan company has Lorena Bobbitt, a character that is returning after five years of being absent from the show. “The show challenges (our dancers) stylistically and stamina-wise. It is a very physically demanding show.” One of those dancers is 27-year-old performer Melissa Hendershot, who has performed in “Thriller” for eight years. “I started dancing when I was 4 years old and now I’m 27; which means I’ve been dancing for 23 years and that’s a long time when you think about it,” Hendershot said. “My favorite thing about the show is the people,” Hendershot added. “The people on the company, and the people in the audience. As dancers, we share a passion for dancing and performing. Plus, when you’re part of a show that requires so much of you mentally, emotionally and physically you can’t help but form strong connections with the people you’re doing it with. Then, you get to share that passion and connection on stage in front of so many Utahns who make ‘Thriller’ a yearly tradition.” Hendershot said she loves everything about the show, but her favorite part is the end. “Not because the show is over, but because as a dancer you feel so accomplished,” she explained. “The audience is on their feet screaming and clapping for you as if they’ve just seen a rock concert.

The show also will feature local favorite and USU professor Richie Call as the radio announcer and USU music professor Cory Evans as his sidekick. Hailing from American Fork, Cold Creek is an all-acoustic ensemble featuring Bill Sprunger (guitar and lead vocals); Blaine Nelson (banjo); Nate Olson (fiddle); Andrea Ivey Banner (bass and lead vocals); and Jake Workman (mandolin). Cold Creek’s captivating and original blend of traditional and progressive bluegrass features tight harmonies, incredible picking and playing and interesting arrangements, along with great original tunes. Their playing has been compared to
some of the greatest names in the contemporary bluegrass music scene, with audiences describing their sound as combining elements of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Alison Krauss and Union Station and Mountain Heart. Cold Creek has been a featured performer at numerous festivals, including the Durango Meltdown, the Founders Title Bluegrass Festival at Snowbird, the Bannock County Bluegrass Festival, the Wolf Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Santa Cruz, California, and the Moscow Days Festival in Russia. They have released two albums, “Faithfully” and “Big Sky.” “I am thrilled to introduce our Cache Valley audience to the outstanding Cold Creek bluegrass band for this oldtime radio salute to the Grand Ole Opry and our country music heritage,” Jessop said. “Combined with the American Festival Chorus, as you’ve never before seen them, this concert is sure to delight the
whole family and have everyone dancing in their seats.” Beyond the enjoyment that this concert will bring, it also may hold great meaning to Cache Valley residents. “This show is not just a salute to our great country music heritage,” Jessop added. “It also is a tribute to the gem of Main Street, the majestic Ellen Eccles Theatre. This concert is a nod to the days of yesteryear, when shows such as this were the prevailing type of entertainment in our community.” The Capitol Theatre, as the Ellen Eccles Theatre was then known, opened in 1923, and was a home to vaudeville and opera, attracting great entertainers such as Abbot and Costello, John Philip Sousa, the Marx Brothers and George Burns and Gracie Allen. From the 1920s through the ’50s, Cache Valley residents were treated to live concerts and shows from local and traveling troupes.
Box Continued from Page 4 problem solving and NASA’s spirit of exploration. “What separates this movie — it has the backdrop of science — but all of the science is presented in a way that’s very approachable for all,” said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox. Aronson noted that the shift in release date from Nov. 25 to early October gave the film a more open path at the box office, where it could play well through the month. The film added $45.2 million internationally. “Solid performances by recent space-related films like ‘Interstellar’ and ‘Gravity’ show that ‘geeking-out’ on all things outer space and science related in the movie theater is not only a popular pastime, but has now made science actually ‘cool,’” said
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office firm Rentrak. Yet October is proving especially busy with wellreviewed studio releases seeking broad audiences. Another acclaimed 3-D spectacle, Sony’s “The Walk,” took a back seat to “The Martian.” Ahead of a wider opening next week, Robert Zemeckis’ dramatization of Philippe Petit’s World Trade Center stunt took in just $1.6 million on 448 Imax screens. “You need word of mouth for this type of film and that’s what this weekend was all about,” said Sony distribution head Rory Bruer. Last week’s box-office champ, “Hotel Transylvania 2,” slid to second with an estimated $33 million. Sony’s animated sequel has made $90.5 million in two weeks. Denis Villeneuve’s drug war thriller “Sicario” shot up to third with $12.1 million for the Lionsgate release.

Despite the celebrities sprinkled into each episode, Leno said, the show isn’t designed as a star vehicle. “It’s mostly about interesting people and their relationship with automobiles, be it a love story or one about the first female drag racer,” he said. The series also will look at the past and future of automobiles and showcase Leno’s famed and extensive car collection.

version of “Jay Leno’s Garage” began on YouTube about a decade ago, becoming so popular that Leno decided it was ready for prime time. The rocky moments of his tenure as “Tonight Show” host (he had the job, then he didn’t, then he did again) had no effect on his returning to the NBC corporate fold. CNBC simply is a good fit for “Jay’s Leno Garage,” he said, with the right demographic. Or as he more colorfully put it, “it’s not housewives yelling at each other.” Despite professing his loyalty to NBC, he couldn’t resist taking a dig at the company when he talking to a TV critics’ meeting in August. Discussing an episode in which he goes for a 100 mph-plus ride in a selfdriving car, Leno quipped, “NBC has been trying to kill me for years.”

cast realizes that one of their own is a murderer. Audience members are invited (not required) to dress in the style of the 1920s for this exciting Halloween event.

We are so blessed to have such a loving and dedicated audience, I don’t think I could do the show without them. Once the show begins, the fears melt away and I’m caught up in the excitement, love and joy from my peers and the audience.” Brick, who has been dancing since she was 3, says that there are many things about the show that she loves. “I love that each piece can be pushed to so many new places every night,” she said. “The show is intense for the dancers, but I would love to perform each piece every night.

We have to be artists that are really invested in embodying each character on stage and find a new and innovative way to execute the performance every night. So, even though the show stays remotely the same each year, the way we perform every night is never the same.” Brick continued, “Every day in the month of October, we perform an incredibly physically exhausting show. That being said, it’s a challenge to push myself to continue to invest more and more every time I step onto the stage when I’m just trying to muster up the energy to get through the opening number. “I want to get every count right, hit every spacing mark correctly, be full of energy while maintaining a healthy

Giving that to every audience is a challenge.” “It’s entertaining,” Yeager said of ‘Thriller.’ “There’s something for everyone in the show and the humor works for all ages.” After “Thriller” wraps ups on Halloween, preparations for the next show begin immediately. “We rest for a week,” Yeager said, “and then we start rehearsals for our new version of ‘The Nutcracker’ called the ‘ReduxNut-Cracker’ where Clara, instead of getting a nutcracker, gets an iPhone.” ——— Performances of “Thriller” will continue along the Wasatch Front through Oct. 31.

“My Quest”
“Bless Our Enemies”
By Terri Barnes
By William Humphrey
His will to go on, isn’t there anymore. His dreams and hopes, are like dust on the floor.
The strength in his hands, is no longer there. the color is gone now from his once dark brown hair.
The look in his eyes is showing his pain the once tall strong stature he’ll never regain.
Bless our enemies, They’re not walking in the light. They don’t know right from wrong, Cause they haven’t any sight.
Let’s bless our enemies, Our reward is from above. We can follow the Lord’s example, And share of his great love.
So God please watch over him, until his return and give him his glory from this life he’s earned
They might repent some day, Then try to mend their way. To keep the Lord’s commandments, Or they will have to pay.
We will bless our enemies, As written in the plan. And on that great day, Receive the Son of Man.

Director Joe Wright has crafted some fantastic movies over the past decade. “Atonement” was a visual feast and “Hanna” was one of the most underrated cinematic gems of 2011. “Pan” marks a departure from more serious fare and places Wright smack-dab in the middle of gleeful pleasing nonsense.

For example, when the script requires boatloads of exposition an intriguing animated sequence (reminiscent of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”) is used. It’s a small idea that pays big dividends. Instead of a character brainlessly expositing the movie gives us visuals to go along with the story making it a richer experience. The most commendable thing about “Pan” is that it never apologizes for what

‘The Philadelphia Story’ heads into final weekend Tracy Lord is about to get married today again. Or is she? Her fiancé, George Kittredge, is very wealthy and very proper. He probably will not approve of what happened last night. Mike Connor, the newspaper man sent to cover her “Wedding of the Year,” seems to be very enamored of her after what happened last night. Her ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven, who has been hanging around — uninvited — seems to find an infuriating mirth in what happened last night. The problem is that Tracy, who never drinks, got drunk and can’t remember what happened last
night. Is she getting married again? And if so ... to whom? Come see what did happen last night, if the wedding is going to happen, and, who, if anybody, marries whom. “The Philadelphia Story” is directed by Marc Jensen and will be presented at the Old Barn Community Theatre in Collinston from Sept. 18 to Oct. 10. Performances will be held every Monday, Friday and Saturday, with evening shows at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at oldbarn.org, or you can call (435) 458-BARN for reservations.
