FROM THE EDITOR When I was in high school, one of the perks of working on a school newspaper in Idaho was being able to attend the journalism conference in Sun Valley.

Held every October at the famous Sun Valley Lodge, the annual gathering was three days and two nights of get-away-from-momand-dad fun ... with the occasional journalism learning experience thrown in.

But I was never as excited to go to central Idaho in October as Brenda Anthony is this month.

The longtime driving force behind Celebrate America and the “In the Miller

Mood” big-band show that packs ‘em in every fall at USU’s Taggart Student Center, Anthony is thrilled to be taking this year’s show in the road. Thanks to the efforts of Anthony and Larry Smith, who has led the production band the past 14 years, Celebrate America will perform at the Sun Valley Jazz Jamboree on Oct. 19.

“It’s a real honor to be invited and have the opportunity to represent Logan and the state of Utah at the prestigious 2013 Sun Valley Jazz Jamboree,” Anthony says.

“Sun Valley is a world-famous resort, and for them to invite the show is a thrill for everyone involved.”

Held Oct. 16-20, the jazz festival annually boasts 40 different bands featuring more than 200 people, who perform at several different locations around the Ket-

chum area.

“It’s a mammoth undertaking to transport the show entourage, which includes 75 people, and everyone is very excited,” Anthony says. “I think the band is most excited because they know the significance of this world famous jazz event.”

“In the Miller Mood” will take the stage Saturday night at the Sun Valley Lodge — appropriately enough, the same location where much of “Sun Valley Serenade” was filmed. The 1941 musical is best known for the skating of Olympic champion Sonja Henie, but it also features the Glenn Miller Orchestra performing “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” and, of course, “In the Mood.”

‘Gravity’ soars to box-office victory LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Sandra BullockGeorge Clooney space drama “Gravity” rocketed to the top of the box office and into industry record books during its opening weekend.

The Warner Bros. adventure debuted with $55.55 million in North American ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday — the biggest October opening ever and the biggest openings for Bullock and Clooney. The film also dominated the international box office, adding another $27.4 million overseas.

“It’s all good news,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution.

He credited director and co-writer Alfonso Cuaron, who takes viewers into orbit with a story set almost entirely in space that explores challenges faced by two astronauts during a spacewalk.

Cuaron’s team developed equipment and technology to replicate the weightlessness of space.

“It’s never been seen before, visual effects like this,” Fellman said. “Just the space shots are mind-boggling. It looks like you’re right there.”

Last week’s top movie, Sony’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” rolled into second place with $21.5 million. “Runner Runner” opened in third place with $7.6 million.

This ‘Machete’ is rather dull LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete Kills” is a sequel based on an end-credits joke from a film that was itself based on a joke trailer contained within a half-joke grindhouse homage. Exactly how many degrees such an endeavor is removed from anything resembling serious cinema would require Jean Baudrillard to calculate, yet for more immediate filmgoing purposes, all there is to see here is a surprisingly long-lived gag finally running out of gas. As violent as its predecessor yet noticeably duller and less outrageous, “Machete Kills” is dragged to the finish line entirely by its director’s madcap energy and an absurd cast of major stars in strange cameos.

AP Photo/Open Road Films

Danny Trejo, left, and Michelle Rodriguez star in the new sequel “Machete Kills.”

Since emerging as a DIY hero in the 1990s, Rodriguez has always been an inherently likable figure on the indie scene. At his best, he can tap into the most delight-

fully stupid adolescent fantasies and infuse them with a sort of earnestness that almost verges on sweetness — for example, casting Rose McGowan as a stripper with an

M4 carbine for a leg in “Planet Terror.” At his worst, however, Rodriguez’s fantasies seem taken straight from the kind of adolescent who spends an inordinate amount of time with the school psychologist — for example, casting Sofia Vergara as a bloodthirsty madam who once ate her father’s genitals and strides into battle with a machine-gun bra and strap-on dildo shotgun that fires when she thrusts her hips. Here serving as a characteristic one-man crew, Rodriguez leans heavily toward the latter mode.

If you saw Paul Greengrass’s “United 93,” a terrifying depiction of one of the doomed flights on 9/11, you know this director can evoke a harrowing, real-life event like few others. In fact, you may not have recovered yet from the experience.

So it’s no surprise that Greengrass has produced another expertly crafted, documentary-style film based on a real event — the 2009 hijacking of a cargo ship by Somali pirates and the five-day standoff that ensued, with the ship’s American captain, Richard Phillips, held captive in a stifling covered lifeboat after offering himself as a hostage.

A major difference is that this movie has a happy ending — for the captain, anyway, who was rescued in a dramatic high-seas Navy sniper operation. Three of the overmatched attackers were killed; the fourth is in a U.S. prison.

More cinematically speaking, the difference

Artist + Teacher = Inspiration Squared Tippets Exhibit Hall showcases work of art instructors and some of their students It can be hard work to be a professional artist, but a new exhibit at Utah State University aims to show student artists that they can have a career as a teacher and continue to create.

Dennise Gackstetter, USU’s art education coordinator, says she knows several secondary school teachers throughout the state who are still active as artists. For the second year in a row, she has curated a one month exhibit that shows off just what’s possible from some of Utah’s best “teacher artists.”

The exhibit — dubbed “Artist + Teacher = Inspiration Squared” — will be up through the end of October. It features pieces by three high school art teachers from the Wasatch Front and some of their students.

Set in the Tippetts Exhibit Hall on the second floor of the Chase Fine Arts Center, the exhibit is open to anyone who wants to walk through between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exhibit, which opened Monday and includes an open house Saturday night, is meant to showcase artwork but also show current USU students that they can have a career and be a professional artist, Gackstetter says.

“It’s a lot — to have a full-time job, have a family and be an artist,” she says. “I think it’s really valuable that these teachers are making artwork.”

Nicole Warner is one of those teacher artists.

The University of Utah graduate has taught high school for 11 years and is now the ceramics instructor at Herriman High School.

“It is a struggle,” she says of continuing to create works of art while teaching. “It’s a hard thing to maintain, especially during the school year. But it’s important for the kids to see you working and invested in the process of making things.”

At the “Artist + Teacher” exhibit, visitors will see Warner’s five-panel stoneware piece called WHAT: “Artist + Teacher = Inspiration Squared” WHEN: 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 WHERE: USU’s Tippetts Exhibit Hall COST: Free INFO: Call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu

Story by Emilie Wheeler Photographs by Eli Lucero “Better Luck Next Time.” It features a progression of one character through a series of events.

Its themes include choice, consequences, expectation and disappointment.

In addition to Warner, artists Katie Campbell and Justin Wheatley have works on display.

Wheatley, a teacher at Connections High School in Salt Lake City, says making art makes him a better art teacher.

“I use my experiences of making bad art and

good art or struggling to make anything at all to help my students understand that art really is a journey, and it’s the experience that makes it worth it,” he wrote in an artist’s statement that can be read at the exhibit.

Wheatley says he feels successful in teaching a student “if he or she is able to talk about, understand and appreciate the purpose of making art.”

Many of the photographs taken by Katie Campbell, a teacher at Alta High School in Sandy, depict scenes from the Western U.S. in a mixed media format. She also admits in her artist’s statement that finding time to balance work as an artist and teacher can be challenging. However, she’s continued to work as a professional artist in the 16 years she has taught school.

Among the work displayed in the exhibit are pieces from Warner, Wheatley and Campbell’s students. Gackstetter says they were included to showcase not just the students’ work but the teachers’ skills in instructing their students.

“I wanted to allow them to show what they had been doing with a student,” she explains.

Gackstetter says she plans to continue the exhibit in future years, making it a staple at USU. This year’s work is diverse and compelling, which she hopes will attract all sorts of people.

“It’s really contemporary work this year,” she says. “You can tell that they’re aware of what’s happening in the larger art world.”

The artwork on display at “Artist + Teacher + Inspiration Squared” at USU’s Tippetts Exhibit Hall include: “Turquoise Springs” by Katie Campbell (upper left); “Tokyo Bike” by Justin Wheatley (above); “Great Sand Dunes” by Campbell (upper right); “Tools of the Trade” by Tanner Allen (far right); and “History” by Cesar Gonzalez (right).

Quintet to perform at USU Caine College of the Arts welcomes the Emerald Brass Quintet for a two-day residency this month featuring a concert at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the USU Performance Hall.

“The EBQ performance at Utah State University will include audience interaction and improvisation,” says Max Matzen, EBQ member and USU faculty member. “We like to use improvisation as a vehicle for creativity as well as interaction.”

Matzen says to teach the audience the concept of improvisation, the quintet will pick a common folk song with simple singing and a primary focus on voice leading, style and rhythm, to keep the audience engaged.

The performance is the culmination of a two-day residency where the group will work with USU students along with Logan High School and Sky View High School students. The quintet will play for the bands and work with the brass sections in a more concentrated effort.

Monkeygrinder set to take the stage in Brigham City The Emerald Brass Quintet will perform Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Utah State.

Emerald Brass Quintet formed in 2006 and has since gained recognition as a dynamic and virtuosic collection of performers and educators.

EBQ has performed with Canadian Brass and has been a featured ensemble at the 2009 Brass in Frankenwald Festival in Hof, Germany.

Individually, EBQ members have performed in concert halls from Thailand to Carnegie Hall. They have also performed with orchestras will die?

The movie humanizes the pirates but is not inclined to forgive them. All four Somali actors are excellent, but especially Barkhad Abdi, memorable as Muse.

As for Hanks, his final moments are his best, as Phillips registers in an intensely personal way the cumulative effects of what he’s endured.

It’s safe to say those moments will be what’s remembered most from this movie, and for a long time.

from the Honolulu and Cincinnati symphonies to the Rochester, N.Y. and Springfield, Ohio, philharmonics.

“We like to perform with each other as much as we can as we are all colleagues from graduate school,” says Matzen.

“It’s a very fun group of friends who play great and it’s always a treat.”

The quintet will perform “Quintet no. 2” by Victor Ewald, “Meditango” by Astor Piazzola, “Suite from the Monteri-

Books Author traces U.S. nuclear near misses

By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press

Three days after John.

F. Kennedy’s inauguration, a B-52 went into an uncontrolled spin above North Carolina, sending a pair of fully operational hydrogen bombs plunging toward the ground.

The firing sequence initiated in one bomb, as one safety mechanism after another failed. The only thing that prevented the 4-megaton thermonuclear bomb from exploding on American soil was one final mechanism that remained in the safe position.

The other bomb landed in a nearby swamp.

Its explosives also remained intact, but the uranium core sank more than 70 feet and

author of “Fast Food Nation” and “Reefer Madness” uncovered a trove of recently declassified documents about the nation’s nuclear program.

The tale they tell is often frightening.

In the past 50 years there have been scores of incidents in which U.S. nuclear weapons were dropped during transport or allowed to degrade to dangerous conditions due to poor storage. In other cases, nuclear has never been found. bombs were left under The gripping account, such limited security that which had been buried in the weapons could easily confidential files since have been stolen or set 1961, is one of many har- off by rogue elements rowing tales recounted by inside or outside the Eric Schlosser in his latest American military. investigative masterpiece, The book details so “Command and Control: many near misses that it’s Nuclear Weapons, the almost hard to believe Damascus Accident, and that what happened intenthe Illusion of Safety.” tionally in Hiroshima Using the Freedom and Nagasaki has never of Information Act, the happened by accident in a

The topic of nuclear weaponry is by its nature complicated. But Schlosser’s ability to present complex issues in easily readable terms makes the book a comfortable — if not comforting — read.

Schlosser describes how nuclear weapons work, and how early scientists grappled with technological limitations in building the bombs. He also traces the politics of the last half-century, providing context for why the U.S. government felt such a need to strengthen and always add to its nuclear arsenal.

But Schlosser’s most riveting work lies in a tale woven throughout the entire book. He relates the story of a nuclear crisis in 1980 that could have leveled much of Arkansas, or at

Characters are well drawn in new Pelecanos novel

By Bruce DeSilva Associated Press

Spero Lucas joined the Marines, got shipped off to Iraq, fought house-to-house in Fallujah and came home in one piece to Washington, D.C. Others he served with are damaged, some physically, some in ways you can’t see.

Lucas says he’s OK. He’s not, but he’s better off than most.

His needs are simple: a clean bed, a steady supply of beer and weed, a woman now and then.

But he craves action.

For him, there must always be a mission.

Spero, first introduced by author George Pelecanos in “The Cut,” finds what he needs by doing part-time investigative work for a criminal defense attorney and by helping people recover stolen goods in return for a finder’s fee. Sometimes the work requires killing. Spero, who has no nightmares about the lives he took in war, is still capable of doing what needs to be done without remorse — most of the time.

“The Double,” the new

the unsolved murder of a student, asks Spero to look into it.

A lawyer hires Spero to find something, anything, that can throw doubt on the prosecution’s case against a man who almost certainly murdered his lover.

And Grace Kinkaid, a middle-age woman with bad taste in men, commissions Spero to recover a painting taken by a cad who seduced novel featuring the former her, dumped her and Marine, finds Spero espe- ripped her off on his way cially busy. out the door.

The takeaway is somewhat unsettling. Schlosser stresses that despite the risk of accidents and rogue acts of terrorism, a nuclear weapon has not destroyed any city worldwide since 1945.

But, he adds matter-offactly, “there is no guarantee that such good luck will last.”
