n Wednesday night I went to Jazztober Fest, the fall concert for the USU Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Orchestra. They played upbeat classics by George Gershwin, Miles Davis and Hank Levy while weaving in at least two dozen solos by talented USU students. I loved the saxophones, the trumpets, the guitar, the piano. The music made me want to dance. I went home with “Fly Me to the Moon” by Frank Sinatra in my head and had to Google the lyrics because I liked them so much. I have

a thing for stars and space, and even though I don’t claim to know a lot about either, I pretty much adore every song that mentions them. “Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On a-Jupiter and Mars.” I heard that Sinatra song at just the right time because I’ve been loving the full moon this week. And have you noticed that extra bright star that seems to be the moon’s best friend lately? It turns out it’s Jupiter. While all the stars seem to be lost in the moonlight, Jupiter is big enough, and glows enough, to stand out in the night sky. Apparently there could be up to

400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, although even on the best nights when the sky is moonless we can only see a couple thousand. Of those, I can only pick out two constellations easily — the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia — and everything else seems to dangle there like tiny night diamonds. I love that music can connect us to the things we love and vice versa. For the rest of the week I’m going to be singing jazz in my head and looking for Jupiter at night. Happy moon-gazing to all of you this weekend. Here’s to Frank for writing such a lovely song, and the USU Jazz Ensemble for playing it. — Manette Newbold

The Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents New York-based dance company Aszure Barton & Artists on Tuesday, Oct. 18, and Wednesday, Oct. 19, in the Ellen Eccles Theatre. “Aszure Barton’s choreography is compelling and spellbinding. It draws you in and turns you out all in one orchestrated movement,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. The program opens with “Les Chambres des Jacques.” This movement speaks of the beauty, humor, complexity and fragility of the heart. This piece was originally created for Les Ballets Jazz Montréal and premiered in 2006. The second half of the evening highlights Barton’s newest work, the evocative and theatrically striking “Busk,” which received rave reviews and an extended run at the Jerome Robbins Theatre in New York. The word “busk” comes from the Spanish root word buscar, meaning “to seek;” buskers (another word for street performers) literally seek the fantasy of fame and fortune. “Busk” opens with video imagery of trees, which soon gives way to bare stage. Since its founding in 2002, the Aszure Barton & Artists company has maintained their home base in New York City while developing their reputation as an international contemporary dance project. The company’s works have toured to Europe, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Asia, Africa, Canada and throughout the United States.

Aszure Barton has earned the distinguished reputation of producing striking choreography for stage and film, and together with her intimate ensemble, she continues to develop critically acclaimed productions around the globe. She has established herself as one of the most promising and consistently commissioned young choreographers in modern dance and ballet.

USU museum highlights Middle Ages Saturday

The medieval world — or a recreation of the medieval world — will be brought to life at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology by the Society for Creative Anachronism at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” event. Demonstrations of the arts and skills of pre-17th century European culture will be presented Saturday, Oct. 15, at the museum. The clothing, music, food and crafts of the Middle Ages will be in the spotlight. Organizers say the day will be “jam-packed” with medieval activities and displays that will appeal to children and adults alike. Activities include medieval cookery, crafts and fencing. “This will be a day to remember, so don’t miss out on the chance to join the medieval madness,” said event organizer and Saturdays planner Aurora Durfee. “We are so excited to share the customs and crafts of the Middle Ages with our patrons. With so many events available, there is sure to be something for everyone.” Community members, as well as Utah State students, can visit the museum during its operating hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information about this event, call museum staff at 435-797-7545 or visit the museum website (anthromuseum.usu. edu).

A tribute to the ‘King of Cards’ Magician Richard Hatch will perform Houdini tricks at Logan Arthouse Magician Richard Hatch will be giving three special performances at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema (795 N. Main) on Saturday, Oct. 15, as part of a magical tribute to Houdini. Harry Houdini (1874-1926) remains the most iconic figure in magic, nearly a century after his untimely death in Detroit on Halloween 1926. He began his career billed as the “King of Cards” and as part of his homage to the master, Hatch has offered to perform a special “challenge” feat of card magic. “Audience members are encouraged to bring their own decks of cards to the performance,” says Hatch, “and their own decks will be used to perform a feat of magic that will take place in their own hands!” Although most famous for his spectacular escapes, Houdini was also a pioneer in aviation (acknowledged as the first pilot to achieve sus-

tained flight in Australia) and a tireless debunker of psychic frauds. Ironically, Houdini was a close friend of popular vaudeville medium Anna Eva Fay, and the performance will include a performance of a feat invoking both Houdini and Fay’s interest in spiritualistic phenomena. Pianist Jonathan Hatch will assist in this feat by performing the first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Houdini was a master Mason and this tribute is being hosted by Logan’s historic Harmony Lodge No. 21. In addition to the live performance, a film tribute to Houdini will be shown and a magic set will be given away at each performance. Tickets are $10 if purchased in advance, $12 if purchased at the door. Tickets may be purchased online at http://www. harmonylodge21.org/tickets/, or by contacting George F. Winters at 435-757-6017.

The Department of Theatre Arts at Utah State University presents “Step on a Crack,” a play by Suzan Zeder, in several public performances in addition to select performances for young audiences. Public performances begin Friday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Caine Lyric Theatre. “We are delighted USU will be re-introducing theater for young audiences this season with ‘Step on a Crack,’” said Matt Omasta, director of the play and faculty member in USU’s Department of Theatre. “Thanks to the generous support of the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation, we are able to provide private showings and transportation to the production for several local schools.” “Step on a Crack” follows the story of a young girl named Ellie Murphy who lived happily with her widowed father, Max, until he marries Lucille, who becomes Ellie’s stepmother. Ellie turns to her imaginary friends, Lana and Frizbee, to escape real-life problems. Ellie’s trials, through imagination, lead her to discovering what it’s like to really be alone and Ellie begins to come to terms with herself and her need for a mother. “My favorite part of ‘Step on a Crack’ would have to be Ellie’s imaginary world she creates for herself in the play,” said Jason West, USU junior majoring in theater education who plays Max Murphy. “I believe many children who have been through something hard often find themselves in their own little world in search of comfort they can’t get elsewhere.” The director said the production speaks to everyone. “The play, which presents the story of a young girl learning to overcome challenges

gles, speaks not only to young people but to people of all ages who will attend the performance,” Omasta said. Tori Benson, a USU sophomore majoring in theater education, plays Ellie Murphy. “‘Step on a Crack’ is hilarious,” Benson said. “It’s also clever, witty and sends a great message to the audience in a creative and fun way. I am so grateful to be a part of it.” The cast also includes Ashley Underwood, who plays the Voice, Colton Iverson and Jessica Jackson who play Ellie’s imaginary friends, Frizbee and Lana, and Meg Campbell who portrays Ellie’s stepmother, Lucille. “Step on a Crack” is rated E for Everyone.

Head of USU’s art department speaks next week at Kiger Hour Laura Gelfand, the new head of the Utah State University’s art department and interior design program, will discuss medieval replicas of the Holy Sepulchre at the next Kiger Hour on Oct. 20. Many sites she will present are unknown even to most art historians. “It’s fascinating to think about these sites in terms of how they were experienced by those who constructed and used them,” Gelfand said. “I hope that people come away with a better understanding of the complexity of medieval devotional practices and a better sense for the universality of the desires felt by all devotees.” Her presentation, “Sense and Simulacra: European Copies of Holy Sepulchre,” centers on her research of art New York at Stony Brook. She began of the late medieval and early Renaissance in Northern Europe. Gelfand has concentrating on Northern European published extensively on various topics, art, working primarily on art created in France, as a doctoral student in art including devotional portrait diptychs, history at Case Western Reserve UniMargaret of Austria, donor portraits and pilgrimage. She is co-editor of two versity. “This has given me the opportunity volumes published this year by Brill to work in some of the most beautiful entitled “Push Me, Pull You.” parts of Europe,” Gelfand said. Gelfand “fell in love with art history She joined the faculty at the Caine and the art of the Renaissance” while an undergraduate at State University of College of the Arts in July 2011 after

serving for two years as associate dean of the Honors College at The University of Akron where she taught art history since 1997. She is an award-winning teacher and a founding fellow of the Executive Leadership Academy at University of California at Berkeley. Originally from Salt Lake City, Gelfand was eager to return to Utah as head of the art and interior design programs. To meet Gelfand and learn more about her work, come to Kiger Hour, a social and intellectual program presented by Utah State University and sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Caine College of the Arts. The event will be from 5:15 to 7 p.m. at Hamilton’s Steak and Seafood, 2427 N. Main St., Logan. A buffet with appetizers, desserts, soft drinks, iced tea and coffee will be available. Cost is $6.95 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and billed on an individual basis. Guests can also order from the menu, and a cash bar is available.

Reviews by The Associated Press

★★ ‘The Big Year’

Director // David Frankel Starring // Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin Rated // PG for language and some sensuality You’d have to really love birding as much as the guys here do to enjoy this strained buddy comedy to its fullest potential. Except for some lovely scenery and a few lively interactions between the three stars — Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black — “The Big Year” feels like one long, cross-country schlep. And in the pursuit of what? The title of spotting the most bird species in North America during a calendar year, something extremely specific that will probably only interest a few people in the audience. Yes, of course, the journey is the destination and whatnot. And the competition itself is merely a device, a metaphor for the drive these three men have to prove their worth at this particular moment in their lives. If that weren’t obvious to us already, the voiceoverheavy script spells out everything they’re thinking or regretting or learning from this magical experience.

David Frankel’s film, based on the non-fiction book by Mark Obmascik, begins in sufficiently lively fashion in establishing its premise, as you might expect from the director of “The Devil Wears Prada.” But it quickly grows repetitive as Martin (as a retiring corporate CEO), Wilson (as a contractor and the reigning champ) and Black (as a divorced, cubicle-dwelling newbie) go to extremes to chase each other around and race against the clock. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad bird. 99 minutes.

★★ ‘The Thing’

Director // Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Starring // Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton and Ulrich Thomsen Rated // R for strong creature violence and gore, disturbing images and language

This prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 monster movie of the same name lives up to its generic title. It delivers a repetitive assault of gross creature effects and action done far better in Carpenter’s version, the first two “Alien” films and a lot of other flicks about entities that feed on pitiful earthlings. The filmmakers deserve credit for trying something different, meticu-

lously creating a back story that fits the earlier movie rather than doing the typical Hollywood remake. From first-time director Matthijs van Heijningen, the prequel explains how an alien entity frozen in the Antarctic ice got loose at a Norwegian research station, consuming and replicating the humans so that paranoid frenzy takes hold over who’s real and who’s not. But the new “Thing” kind of does what the alien does — digest the original movie and spit out a creepy copy. There’s not much suspense, and the few scares are cheap jolts that could have come from any old monster movie. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton star. 103 minutes. A bad idea is a bad idea, even dressed up with all the computer effects and heavy-metal action that Hollywood can buy. And the idea of robots boxing is a bad one, creating some embarrassingly awful moments for Hugh Jackman as an ex-fighter scraping by in the near future as a promoter of brawling machines that have taken over the sport from human boxers. Jackman’s generally out-acted by the robots, whose bouts are deafening and bruising, more like demolition derbies than sporting events. 127 minutes.

The original “Footloose” may have had an absurd premise and not even a tacit acknowledgement of the existence of people any color besides white, but it was an ‘80s movie, after all. Its datedness — and director Herbert Ross’s great, toe-tapping title sequence — is part of its kitschy charm. The cast, too, was exceptionally winning: Kevin Bacon as the upturnedcollar out-of-towner, a radiant Lori Singer as the rebellious preacher’s daughter, Chris Penn as the hayseed sidekick. Why anyone should bother to remake it is an interesting question. It certainly could be substantially improved upon, but isn’t that kind of like trying to build a better legwarmer?

considerable addition. The two versions of “Footloose” are ultimately a tale of casting. In the original, a thoroughly likeable ensemble created a cheesy kind of movie magic out of paltry, laughable material. Brewer has made a better, more colorful film, but his cast isn’t nearly as memorable. The performances (excepting Teller’s) are a paler shade of the original, and there’s considerably less chemistry to go around. Wormald and Hough are both handsome and good on the dance floor, but they come across more like teen stars in training than representations of real youth angst. Speaking of angst, one question: Line dancing? Brewer has added several updated dance sequences, including hip-hop and country line-dancing scenes. Yes, that wild, sinful expression of individuality known as country line dancing. These kids may have better technique, but they don’t have the moves.

Dark Meadows Haunted Forest and Manor goes all out on props, special effects

“Most people want to be scared and have some type of production they can go to.” — Jamie Forbush Photos by Tyler Larson

Clockwise: Jason Allred jumps from an actor with a chainsaw Saturday evening at Dark Meadows Haunted Forest and Manor; Dark Meadows actor Seth Foster attempts to convince a group of people to follow him Saturday evening; An actor waits on the side of the path for the next group walking through Dark Meadows.

f you go against your mother’s advice and don’t bring a pair of clean undies to Dark Meadows Haunted Forest and Manor, you’ll be sorry. The “spooktacular” experience, located at approximately 7877 S. Hwy 89-91, Wellsville, is a professional haunted production using lighting, pro audio, special effects, real actors (all volunteer) in conjunction with animatronic props — the same caliber you might expect at Disneyland. It’s billed as “the best haunted attraction in the state of Utah” and is the “top production being put on in the state” during the Halloween season, said Sara Hansen, marketing director for Dark Meadows. The scattered remains of a “once beautiful” hotel and resort are said to be “inhabited by hideous things, strange unidentified animals and unexplained paranormal,” according to the Dark Meadows website. “Sherwood Hills has done, for a long time, a haunted production up there,” said Dark Meadows organizer Jamie Forbush. “But this is the first time we’ve actually done it where it’s a professional production with animatronics, sound systems and professional lighting.” Forbush hopes Dark Meadows will get people into the Halloween spirit. “Make no mistake about it: We’re not a corn maze or one of these other deals that is done around here locally,” Forbush said. “People, frankly are kind of tired of the corn mazes and the hay rides — they’re nice and all — but most people want to be scared and have some type of production they can go to.” Indeed, those who dare to walk through the forest won’t have much light to guide them through. Quite frequently, they are forced to go through sections of the path that feel like mazes accompanied by mysterious occupants who aren’t too happy to see them. Early into the trip, people are greeted by a man who lives in a small house stopping them only long enough to ask them what they are doing here. The man gestures at a dead man who’s had both of his arms cut off. “Do you know this man?” The owner asks the group. “He doesn’t say much, but he’s got the most disarming smile.” It took a lot for Millville resident Jason Allred to be convinced to come to Dark Meadows with his wife. “I’m really scared,” said Allred, a University of Utah graduate. “The only reason I’m going is because these guys are making me. It’s peer pressure.” He joked, “I like the non-scary stuff, but this is therapeutic for me;

If I did this once a year, I might overcome my fear.” The experience runs until Nov. 5. Dark Meadows organizers are also affiliated with the Utah Food Bank. Thrill-seekers are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to the haunted forest to donate. The group’s goal is to get two tons of food circulated into the system. “Their shelves are dang near empty, so they can’t distribute anything to Cache County, Brigham City; it’s a very scary year and so we figure this is a good time to get people up here to have fun and help donate, so we can do our part to help out,” Forbush said. Hours at Dark Meadows are as follows: Mondays and Thursdays, 7 p.m. 10:30 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Dark Meadows is closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays and whenever weather is beyond light rain. Tickets are $13 and can be purchased at the event or ordered via phone at (435) 245-5054.

AUDITIONS Music Theatre West announces auditions for “The Slipper and the Rose” on Oct. 26 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and Oct. 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Stage (southwest door #3).

Bilingual school seeks new students this fall

Union Bilingual Preschool, which offers bilingual language immersion, cultural based activities and environmental activism, is holding a family language day and open house Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to noon. The public is invited. The preschool fosters a union between children of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere, and encourages children to serve their community. Enrollment is for children ages 3 to 5. Union Preschool is also offering a new element this winter, “Learn With Your Toddler,” intended to bring the parent in to join in the fun! “Learn With Your Toddler” provides the opportunity for 2-year-old children to attend the preschool with a parent. “Mom (or Dad) and Me” class is part of the regular preschool day, with activities adapted for the very young child and parent. Each lesson plan at

Union Preschool is loaded with an array of kindergarten readiness activities that help children develop social, emotional, motor and self-help skills as well as math and language. Lessons are carefully designed to allow for flexibility to meet the needs of the children each day. Learning a foreign language at a young age brings life-long benefits that extend well beyond the realm of language learning, especially when the language is taught in a fun and stimulating cultural environment. Although language is the central

focus in our curriculum and preschool, children can always enjoy the benefits of the activities without full use or understanding of the target language. Every lesson and activity will be presented in both Spanish and English. No “Spanglish” spoken here. Come visit the school Saturday, Oct. 15. Make a puppet, play a game, sing some songs, listen to stories and stay for refreshments. Union Preschool is set to re-open soon. Sessions will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon at 596 E. 900 North, Logan.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, October 14, 2011

There should be some sort of 12-step program for sports. They are like a drug. Just about everything good, bad, meaningful, painful, exhilarating, embarrassing and worthless I can trace to participating in sports. I feel like I should be sending letters of apology to everyone I have hurt or neglected in the process and be giving in to a higher power; but no, everyone keeps telling me it’s a positive addiction. I guess so. I can quit anytime I want. In fact, I have quit hundreds of times. It started in my early teens when all my friends

were doing it. Now it is 40 years later and so many of those friends have after-market body parts, injuries and a myriad of health maladies and mental malaise. Some have had cancer and some have passed away long before their time and it is starting to feel a little lonely. No doubt I have spent more medical insurance money on sports injuries than I would have if I let myself become a couch potato diabetic. I know too well from friends passing that diet and exercise are no guarantee of perfect health, but I remain adamant that I do it because it makes

me live better even if not longer. Yeah, all addicts have a bucket load of rationalizations. I only bring this up because I just got back from the 25th Annual Geezer Games in St. George; better known as the Huntsman World Senior Games. I realize the “world” part is a bit of a stretch because other than a couple dozen Canadians, one Russian and a few Barbadians, the world mainly ignores this event like the guy on the corner who claims to be selling world’s best chili. That’s not to say there aren’t a lot of fellow sport junkies like

aged. People still get stuck on a word such as “senior” in the same way nobody even wants to admit to middle age. It is a somewhat embarrassing word, but so are “veterans,” “masters” and plain old “old.” Maybe we just need to take back the word “geezer” with the same pride computer nerds have employed by taking back the word “geek.” Look at it this way — you’re going to be pretty invincible when you enter events as a geezer; if the kids beat you it’s because they were supposed to. Anyone you beat who is younger than you is put

to shame. The chance that anyone older than you is going to beat you diminishes with every year. I learned this from my mentor who used to say, “hey, I’ve got socks older than you.” Sometimes he would actually be wearing them.

Meet three authors with Cache Valley ties Have you ever wondered how much trouble one kiss could cause? Or thought about who really controls the weather? Did you ever pay much attention to your school janitor? While these questions may sound random, they are pieces of story plots from young-adult fiction novels written by three new authors with ties to Cache Valley. Amber Argyle, Tyler Whitesides and Elana Johnson have created fantasy stories dealing with magic, bravery and adventures at school and society. Each of the authors debuted their first published novel this year and all of their books are available online and in bookstores. So far they have had good response from readers and plan to continue writing and publishing. Tomorrow they will speak at a panel at Logan Library from 2 to 5 p.m. and include tips on publishing. A signing will follow. Learn more about each book and author below.

Authors Amber Argyle (“Witch Song”), Elana Johnson (“Possession”) and Tyler Whitesides (“Janitors”) will be at the Logan Library Oct. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. The event kicks off with a panel. Treats will be provided. Prizes, including signed books, will be given away. Signing to follow.

he’s already outlined each book and knows what will happen; it’s just a matter of getting his ideas on paper. Currently Whitesides, 25, is doing a lot of traveling promoting his novel and speaking to students about writing, creativity and imagination, but his home is still in Logan with his wife, who is a third grade teacher. He said kids have been connecting with “Janitors” because the story happens in a place they can relate to — school. “I think they connect with it because they can imagine the adventure happening at their own school.”

available just about everywhere. Argyle received her bachelor’s degree in English and physical education from Utah State University. She is now a wife and mother of 9- 6- and 2-year-old children. She said she writes full-time when her kids are at school and her youngest is napping. Argyle has been writing since the fourth or fifth grade and was never able to stop at a short story length. “If I start writing a short story it turns into an 80,000word novel,” she said.

Tyler Whitesides, Logan

Tyler Whitesides has been writing since the second grade and it’s been his lifelong dream to publish a book. His novel, “Janitors,” was picked up by Shadow Mountain Publishing which has a few New York Times best-selling series including “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull. In Whitesides’ book a secret society of janitors at Welcher Elementary is using wizard-like powers to drain the smarts of students. He said he came up with the idea while working as a part-time janitor at Mount Logan Middle School. “I would take out the trash and sweep the floors and all of that was good brainstorming time to come up with some fun ideas for the book,” he said. There will be five books in the “Janitors” series and Whitesides plans to release one a year. He said

Elana Johnson didn’t always love to write. In high school she took the AP English test as a junior so she could opt out of English as a senior. But four years ago she picked up the hobby and now her first novel, “Possession” has been published by Simon and Schuster which is one of the “big six” publishing houses in North America. “Possession” takes place in Johnson’s own story world where girls are not allowed to walk with boys, let alone kiss them. Her main character, Vi, likes to make her own choices though and is determined to think for herself despite pressure from the rest of the “Witch Song,” by Amber Argyle, started with the idea that witch chanting could control something beau- population who have been brainwashed by the Thinkers. tiful like the seasons and weather.
