ADMIT IT. BASICALLY, I’M an old-school kind of girl. Most of the time, I prefer a musty yellowed book to a flashing iPad screen.

My living room includes a record player, and I have yet to upgrade my clunky 1995 TV with a sexy plasma version.

Still, I see the benefits of the ubiquitous high-tech gizmos that have invaded modern life. For one thing, they can add new dimensions to newspapers and magazines, taking them from simple words and pictures to a multi-sensory experience.

Here at Cache Magazine, we’ll be launching — or lurching — into the 21st century this week with our first multimedia content: a video of the Kuss Quartet. The Berlin-based group will be visiting Logan in November thanks to the Chamber

Music Society, the subject of our cover story.

Yeah, I basically just found a clip of the Kuss Quartet on YouTube, but it’s a start. In the coming months, I plan to do much more, creating original videos and podcasts featuring local artists, as well as big acts that are coming to the Valley.

This “content” (the new term for stuff journalists make) will go up on the Herald Journal’s website, www.hjnews.com.

I’m excited to get going on this digital project and want to express my appreciation to HJ web editor, Brady Wolfe, who will be taking care of the shooting and film editing.

It’s my hope that this new multimedia content will whet readers’ appetites to get out and enjoy a concert, play or comedy routine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I going to go read a dusty novel.

OUNTRY ACT DUE WEST will come to Utah State’s Kent Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Tickets are $6 to $10 and are available at the Caine College of the Arts Ticket Office, Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139 B, or online at http:// arts.usu.edu. Tickets are also available at the door on performance night.

Founded in 2004 in Nashville, Due West recently released a self-titled debut CD that incluides songs like “22 Hours a Day,” “So Long My Friend” and “Try Living In A Small Town.” The band is made up of a trio of Westerners: Brad Hull is a native of Thatcher, Ariz., Tim Gates is from Richfield, Utah, and Matt Lopez is from Sheridan, Wyo.

In addition to success with Due West, Lopez has also helped write hits for other artists, working with Jason Deere of The Nashville Tribute Band on the smash “Love Lookin’ Good on You” that’s on Lady Antebellum’s current platinum CD. According to the band’s members, Deere’s encouragement and support were instrumental in getting Due West started.

Still small-town boys at heart, Hull, Gates and Lopez say they are committed to maintaining creative control of their music and videos.

Released in 2005 by Deseret Book, “Joseph” became a bestseller for the company. It also won multiple awards.

The band produced a sequel, titled “Trek: A Nashville Tribute To The Pioneers.” To date, the band has done over 250 shows across the U.S. with a host of talented musicians. Fans say that the music “brings the prophet to life” and provides deep religious inspiration.

Film looks at Prop 8, LDS church

A

N ALUMNUS OF Utah State University returns to campus Oct. 21 for a screening and discussion of his award-winning 2010 Sundance documentary, “8: The Mormon Proposition,” which examines California’s Proposition 8 outlawing samesex marriage, the involvement of the LDS Church in that campaign and larger issues of being gay in Utah.

Utah native Reed Cowan, a 1997 USU journalism graduate and veteran TV newsman, started out to make a movie about homeless gay teens in Utah, but the 2008 Prop 8 campaign expanded the scope of his project.

“8: The Mormon Proposition” examines the challenges of being gay or lesbian in Utah, and the role of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in passage of California’s vote to rescind a state law permitting gay marriage.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 21, in the Eccles Conference Center Auditorium at USU, followed by a Q&A discussion. The event is free and the public is invited.

The screening comes amidst widespread debate both criticizing and supporting recent remarks by Boyd K. Packer, the LDS Church’s No. 2 ranking leader, who condemned gays and lesbians in an Oct. 3 speech.

Cowan, who worked as a TV journalist in Salt Lake City for many years, said it is an important time to come home to Utah to participate in the discussion.

“I’m humbled to be a part of such an important conversation, especially in the shadow of Boyd K. Packer’s recent comments,” Cowan said. “His words, and the major protests all over the state of Utah and beyond in reaction, show this is a subject not only deserving

of attention, but demanding of it.”

Cowan and his fellow filmmakers experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in the Mormon faith.

His film follows gay couples through the Prop 8 campaign and documents the LDS Church’s involvement.

“8:TMP highlights the stories of many LGBT citizens seeking marriage equality and never-before revealed Mormon efforts to stop them,” says the film’s website.

The USU screening and discussion are part of the Department of Journalism and Communication’s Morris Media & Society Lecture Series, which is dedicated to bringing media professionals to campus to prompt discussion of current issues in mass media and society.

The event is co-sponsored by nine departments and units at USU: the Office of Student Services; the Center for Women and Gender; the College of Humanities and Social Sciences; the USU Access and Diversity Center; the GLBT Association; the Honors Program; and the departments of History, Political Science, and Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology.

“We are excited to involve our community members in this entertaining fall family carnival, which corresponds with our own production of one of the most-performed, fantastical and magical shows in America, ‘Seussical the Musical,’” said Caine College of the Arts

Dean Craig Jessop.

“Seussical the Musical” runs Oct. 28 to 30 and Nov. 3 to 6 in the Morgan Theatre. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday, Oct. 30.

In addition to the carnival booths, an art exhibit featuring elementary school art work on the theme “Oh, the places I’ll go,” will be on display in the Tippetts Exhibition Hall. The exhibit is part of the art competition hosted by the Caine College of the Arts at eight local elementary schools. Top artists from the competition will be spotlighted at the carnival, receive a backstage tour and a T-shirt.

For more information on any of the Seuss-related events, contact Lewis at courtney.lewis@usu.edu or 797-9203.

welcome Reed Cowan back to his alma mater to help us make sense of these difficult issues,” said JCOM department head Ted Pease. “Clearly these are issues that people on all sides of the conversation struggle with, and we’re grateful to Reed to help us make this a teachable moment at Utah State.”

Next in the Morris Media & Society Lecture Series is Anne Garrells, National Public Radio’s war correspondent who brings her eye-witness accounts of Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and more to USU with “Bearing Witness — One journalist’s take on covering the world,” from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4, in the USU Performance Hall.

Four Paws, an animalrescue organization, was founded in 1995 and was egistered as a non-profit in 2000, the same year the ball was conceived in the back room at Caffé Ibis.

Over the years, a number of prominent local artists

have created the event’s posters. Among them are Bob Bissland, Dick Broun, Jacob Barrow, Vanessa Ball and Robert Guy. This year’s poster was done by Erik Skabelund.

Dedicated to helping abandoned or stray cats, dogs, puppies and kittens, Four Paws works out of a solar-powered shelter on 11 acres. Many of the group’s animals are rescued from high-kill shelters.

The organization provides food, shelter and medical care, placing the pets in foster homes when possible. The animals then go to lifelong homes. Each pet is spayed or neutered before adoption.

Planets” orchestral suite

by British composer Gustav Holst. Written between 1914 and 1916, the piece has seven movements, each named for a planet.

The Wind Orchestra performs two concerts during the fall semester and three in the spring.

Entrance to the ensemble is gained by audition at the outset of each semester.

“The ensemble has earned an outstanding reputation in the region by performing at the Utah Music Educators Convention and two per-

formances in four years at the College Band Directors National Association Western/Northwestern Division conference in Reno, Nev.,” Rohrer said.

Film Still playing “The Social Network” Rated PG-13 ★★★★ Facebook was created to allow people to share mundane updates and observations immediately. But the origin tale of Facebook itself is filled with high drama, betrayal and rage — just one of the many fascinating contradictions that make “The Social Network” so smart, meaty and compulsively watchable.

Director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin have gotten together to create an epic tale about how we’re able to tell the world about the tiniest details of our lives; they depict potentially dry, unwieldy topics — computer coding and competing lawsuits — and they do it in an intimate way. These are two guys who aren’t exactly checking their smart phones constantly for new friend requests, but “The Social Network” represents the best of what they do: Fincher’s mastery of fluid, visual storytelling, Sorkin’s knack for crisp, biting dialogue. It’s sharp, funny and tense, has great energy and pulsates with the thrill of discovery. Facebook creator

Mark Zuckerberg is the biggest contradiction of all: a socially inept guy who came up with a revolutionary way for others to connect, a hugely inventive genius who’s also depicted as being small, petty and backstabbing. Jesse Eisenberg rises beautifully to the challenge of portraying an unlikable protagonist and making us feel engaged by him — or even want to see him succeed, depending on your perspective. And perspective is everything here. The excellent supporting cast includes Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake and Armie Hammer playing a set of twins. One of the year’s best. 120 minutes. *“Secretariat” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 In a world of inspiring real-life sports stories, the tale of Secretariat is one of a kind. It’s too bad the Hollywood version about the legendary racehorse is just another one of the pack.

Director Randall Wallace and his team do what the horse and its caretakers never did on the way to Triple Crown glory in 1973.

They play it completely safe, offering a classy but standard Disney-fication of the tale, whose thrilling race scenes are offset by some of the blandest “you can do it if you try” dialogue

you’re likely to encounter on film. Cheery performances from Diane Lane as the housewife-turned-horseowner and John Malkovich as Secretariat’s oddball trainer help rein in some of the movie’s sentimental excesses. Still, the movie has exhilarating moments, especially the re-creation of Secretariat’s breathless finale at the Belmont Stakes. 116 minutes.

about losing her virginity.

The rumor, spread by the school’s resident religious zealot Marianne (Amanda Bynes), moves at the speed of Twitter. Like a young actor, Olive embraces the role, even pinning a red “A’’ to her provocative outfits in an ode to Hester Prynne.

For all its Hawthorne quoting, “Easy A” is clearly the stepchild of John Hughes.

Will Gluck’s stylish direction of Bert V. Royal’s nimble, word-stuffed script results in a whip-smart film. It’s a terrifically deadpan, lively performance from Stone, but the adults nearly steal the film. With Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow. PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving teen sexuality, language and some drug material. 93 min.

“Alpha and Omega” Rated PG (18%) A review for “Alpha and Omega” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.RottenTomatoes.com: “Kate and Humphrey are two wolves who are trying to get home after being taken by park rangers and shipped halfway across the country. Humphrey is an Omega wolf, whose days are about quick wit, snappy one-liners and hanging with his motley crew. Kate is an Alpha: duty, discipline and sleek Lara Croft eye-popping moves fuel her fire.

Humphrey’s motto: make ’em laugh. Kate’s motto: I’m the boss. Back home rival wolf packs are on the march. PG for rude humor and some mild action. 88 min.

RANK Moses (Bruce Willis) spends his days, now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired from the CIA, waiting for his pension checks to arrive. He likes talking on the phone with his pension representative Sarah Ross (Mary Lousie-Parker). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become fond of her, but someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always listening even though Frank has been out of the game for quite a while now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;? can tell heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting a bit too friendly with Sarah, and for some reason that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite known, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to put a stop to it and fast.

Enter a small force of special agents dressed in black riot gear who mow down Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house with hundreds of thousands of rounds of automatic fire, but like any action movie hero, Frank is also pretty much impervious to automatic ammunition.

Frank narrowly escapes. Now he knows that not only is he not safe, but Sarah isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe either. In order to help Sarah and find out exactly who is doing this to him and why, he enlists the help of his old team (and I stress the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;oldâ&#x20AC;?).

Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman) is living it up in a retirement home. Victoria (Helen Mirren) enjoys flower arranging, but still takes the odd contract on the side just to keep up to date with the way assassinations are carried out. Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) has lost his mind and now lives in the middle of nowhere, paranoid that satellites are scanning his brain at all times.

t seems that Logan as a community has always been fond of the arts. But behind every classical concert is an organizing force, and for those who enjoy chamber music, that force is the Chamber Music Society of Logan.

Currently in its 30th year of bringing world class performers to Cache Valley, the Chamber Music Society of Logan began in 1981 when one of the founding members, Eastman Hatch, returned from sabbatical in Germany. According to Marilyn Wagner, also a founding member, he attended many concerts while in Germany and upon his return to Cache Valley, missed the cultural exposure he’d enjoyed in Europe.

So Hatch and a small group of people, including Wagner, put their heads together and formed the Chamber Music Society of Logan, which “strives to promote musicianship of the highest caliber, representing traditional chamber music of the past as well as contemporary works of recent and living composers,” according to the Society’s website.

Chamber music dates clear back to the year 1615 and is defined by MerriamWebster as “instrumental ensemble music intended for performance in a private room or small auditorium and usually having one performer for each part.” One of the defining characteristics of the art form is that chamber groups perform without a conductor, according to Susan Salmon, who served as chair of the Society from 2004 to 2008 and co-chair with Wagner from 2002 to 2004.

Salmon said that while the Society likes to stay true to the roots of traditional chamber music (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, and Tchaikovsky), they also like to branch out to groups that play older as well as more contemporary music. In addition to the string quartets and piano trios (a piano, a violin, and a cello — not three pianos) that typify classical chamber music, the group tries to include a little variety in instrumentation as well, like this year’s guitar quartet from Brazil.

In 2006 the Society won Chamber Music America’s prestigious Acclaim Award, which

was given to “heighten public recognition of individual ensembles or organizations whose chamber music activities have had exceptional impact on the cultural life of a region or a community,” according to CMA News 2006.

Over the past 30 years, the impact the Society has had on the community really has been exceptional. They have been instrumental in getting support and funding for the USU Performance Hall, a world-class venue where world class performers can come and play.

Marilyn Wagner’s husband, Fred Wagner, said that the first violinist of one of the top string quartets in the world, on visiting the Manon Caine Russell Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall, commented that there was a not a comparable venue for chamber music anywhere in the New York area.

Arguably some of the greatest impacts the Society’s efforts have had on the community have been through their outreach program, where Salmon, as the Society’s liaison to the schools, arranges for these world-class performers to teach in Valley schools. In addition to the extensive instruction and masters’ classes offered with the performing groups through Utah State University, the groups also teach small workshops at Logan High School and give mini-performances and interactive lectures to elementary and middle school students.

“All of the students in the orchestras that are serious or even just interested in their instruments have had their musical experience just explode in a really wonderful way.

They’ve been able to feel a part of the professional music world, (having) had these wonderful artists nurturing them,” Salmon said.

Salmon described the program as a “marvelous and enriching experience that (students) never would’ve expected to have... every single (performing) group has walked away saying something to the effect of ‘wow, I never got this when I was in high school’.”

With everything that the Society does in the community, Salmon says the Chamber Music Society’s primary objective is still to “present artists of the highest artistic merit.”

Story by Kate Rouse Marilyn Wagner, as program director for the Society, personally flies to New York every year (at her own expense until now) for Chamber Music America’s annual conference, as well as the Western Arts Alliance’s annual conference held in different cities across the Intermountain West, where she listens to artists play and recommends the best fits for Logan to her committee.

“I rarely ever bring in a group I haven’t heard,” Marilyn Wagner said.

Once the committee approves her decisions, Marilyn Wagner works with the artists’ agents to determine a price and to work out

scheduling. As some performing groups are considerably more expensive than others, price is a major concern for the Chamber Music Society, which is has been funded over the years by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation and other private supporters, as well as RAPZ tax and a cultural arts grant from the city of Logan.

This year, the Society is bringing in the Kuss Quartet from Berlin, The Brazilian Guitar Quartet, The Vienna Piano Trio and The Cypress String Quartet from San See CHAMBER on Page 11 Above: Marilyn Wagner outsider the USU Performance Hall.

t seems that Logan as a community has always been fond of the arts. But behind every classical concert is an organizing force, and for those who enjoy chamber music, that force is the Chamber Music Society of Logan.

Currently in its 30th year of bringing world class performers to Cache Valley, the Chamber Music Society of Logan began in 1981 when one of the founding members, Eastman Hatch, returned from sabbatical in Germany. According to Marilyn Wagner, also a founding member, he attended many concerts while in Germany and upon his return to Cache Valley, missed the cultural exposure he’d enjoyed in Europe.

So Hatch and a small group of people, including Wagner, put their heads together and formed the Chamber Music Society of Logan, which “strives to promote musicianship of the highest caliber, representing traditional chamber music of the past as well as contemporary works of recent and living composers,” according to the Society’s website.

All mixed up

Concert series opens in Brigham City

B

RIGHAM CITY’S Fine Arts Center kicks off its annual Music in the City Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 15.

The performance by guitarist Chris Proctor and opening act Alicia McGovern begins a sixmonth season of concerts on the third Friday of each month.

Salt Lake City-based Proctor is known internationally as one of the modern masters of fingerstyle guitar, and is at the forefront of contemporary steelstring guitar. An innovator, his performances showcase adven-

turous 12-string, 6-string and slide work, as well as pioneering use of the electronic bow.

Since winning the National Fingerstyle Guitar competition more than 20 years ago, he has toured constantly, releasing a steady stream of recordings of his own compositions and arrangements. His music is rooted in classic Americanaspiced with folk, Celtic, jazz, pop, and classical flavors, all of which are in evidence in the 12 original pieces that comprise his latest album “Ladybug Stomp.”

His two recent popular and critical hits — “The Chris Proctor Collection,” which reprises his first 25 years of writing, and “Under the Influence,” a stunning set of arrangements of the music that shaped his artistic development — are best-sellers among acoustic music enthusiasts. For more information go to www.chrisproctor.com

Songstress Alicia McGovern, who also hails from Salt Lake City, is a teller of tales and performer. With her love of words and experiences traveling, her songs carry themes of impermanence and simplicity. Combine that with her whimsically sweet, yet emotionally edgy vocals, and you get sounds that seem to touch universal emotions. On stage, she delivers songs with calming ease, drawing you in with her intricate guitar playing, unassuming nature, and wellcrafted lyrics.

She recently placed third in the Tucson Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and received an honorable mention in the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Contest, which is held annually in Okemah, Okla.

“SUNDANCE THE Kid’ was a hit in Paris.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy inducted Robert Redford into France’s elite Legion of Honor in an intimate ceremony Thursday, congratulating the 74-yearold American actor/director on his decades-long film career and his work to protect the environment.

Pinning a red-ribboned medal to Redford’s blue suit, Sarkozy made him a knight in the Legion of Honor.

“I know 65 million French people who would like to be in my shoes right now,” Sarkozy joked during a speech in French, which Redford followed in translation through an earpiece.

Sarkozy told Redford — “you are the incarnation of the United States and all that that country represents.” He said Redford’s roles in films like 1969’s “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” 1985’s “Out

of Africa” and “The Great Gatsby,” from 1974, continue to delight viewers.

“Those who love cinema long remember ... (your) films, which we watch and re-watch with the same emotion each time,” Sarkozy said.

He also praised Redford’s long commitment to environmental causes.

“We need friends like you have the courage to try to wake up people’s consciousness” about the environment, Sarkozy said.

Redford thanked the French people, recalling the time he spent in France after dropping out of college.

“I didn’t know anything about my own country, I was naive and narrowminded and it was the French students ... who opened my eyes and gave me a real education,” said Redford, who was flanked at the ceremony at Paris’ Elysee presidential palace

by his wife, painter Sibylle Szaggers.

“I will continue with my commitment to make cinema that opens people’s spirits and goes beyond borders, and this prize will help me do that,” said Redford, who also directed the 1992 hit “A River Runs Through It” and the 2007 political drama “Lions for Lambs.”

Redford also founded the popular Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, which focuses on independent cinema.

Napoleon Bonaparte created the legion in 1802. It recognizes military, cultural, scientific or social contributions to France, including by people who are not French citizens.

Previous inductees include Clint Eastwood, another actor-turned-director, and Canadian director David Cronenberg.

CHAMBER from page 9 Francisco, in addition to the Dorian Wind Quartet from Tanglewood that already played in October.

Marilyn Wagner said that even though they come from all over the world, all of the performers who come to Cache Valley have something in common: they all love it here and want to come back.

“The musicians are treated well when they visit,” she said. “It’s a beautiful place, they love the Performance Hall.”

“Utah is so appreciative of the arts,” Fred Wagner said. “The artists always comment on the students’ attentiveness and appreciate the commitment of the children in Cache Valley schools.”

One thing that the Wagners and Salmon both stressed was the importance of every one of the 15 volunteers serving on the board, headed by current chair Beth Saul.

“There isn’t one person that’s been on the board that hasn’t

worked very very hard,” Salmon said.

While they are all very passionate about what they do, not one of the board members ever sees one cent for their efforts. “This is what I do-- for free,” Marilyn Wagner said. “It’s what I give to my community.”

Blahnik a fan of Americana

IS NEW BOOK TITLE H is “Manolo’s New Shoes,” but top footwear designer Mano-

lo Blahnik has old-school styles on his mind.

He’d like to see more women in elegant heels, adorable flats or even classic American saddle shoes instead of the “clunky” platforms — his word — that have been so popular in recent seasons.

“I’m suspicious of platforms.

They’re the wrong shape for the leg,” he says.

Blahnik, the man at the heart of the pop-culture shoe craze thanks largely to regular mentions in “Sex and the City,” also waxes nostalgic on soda fountains, malted milkshakes and old movies.

It’s an appreciation of simple, well-made things, he explains.

He travels all the time and he laments that so few hotels have the classic-movie cable channel TCM, which he uses as an endless source of inspiration.

But don’t mistake Blahnik’s affinity for things from yesteryear as a sign that a new era is passing him by. He’s plugged into new materials, new runway fashion and red-carpet stars.

He is also an avid fan of new films, with “The Social Network” at the top of his must-see list. “When I see a movie, it’s like I’m there. I’m the sort of spectator of movies or viewer of TV that lives inside whatever it is I’m watching,” he says.

The lesson to be learned from icons such as Audrey Hepburn in “Sabrina” and Natalie Wood in “Sex and the Single Girl” is the confidence a woman gains when she knows she looks good.

A flattering shoe is simply an

easy tool for her to accomplish that goal, he says.

“There are those moments, even if it’s only seconds, when you walk differently in a great new pair of shoes, you feel differently. Heels do that for you.

Flats can do it for you, too, but they’re much harder,” Blahnik says.

Lately, there’s been an increased demand for kicky, flirty kitten heels, he says, which are lower than his signature stilettos. These are a nice option for women because the foot isn’t at such a high angle, although they’re usually a very thin heel.

Blahnik, 67, raised in the Canary Islands and now based in London, was in New York on Wednesday for an on-air appearance on “The Martha Stewart Show.”

The episode is slated to air Friday on the Hallmark Channel.

He and Stewart whip up coconutchocolate and almond-vanilla milkshakes.

Stewart wore pointy-toe, ankle-tie high heels in a blackand-white pattern by Blahnik that she says could take her from her daytime outfit of black capris with white button-down shirt to a fancier evening look.

“I love all his shoes. They really work,” Stewart told The Associated Press after the taping.

She says she likes that his designs are stylish and hit the trends but have a timelessness thanks to the artful materials and shapes. (Each style starts with a hand-painted sketch.)

The designer is fighting tendinitis at the moment, but it’s a general rule that he wears shoe samples — including the high heels — around the office to

‘The Dirty Life’ a compelling memoir

By The Associated Press

T

HE NIGHT THAT freelance writer and vegetarian Kristin Kimball met her future husband, she helped him slaughter a pig. The next morning, she ate a double helping of sausage and, as she says, that was the end of her life as a vegetarian.

After a whirlwind courtship involving a lot of good meals made from food grown on the farm Mark was running in Pennsylvania, Kristin agreed to move with him to upstate New York to start a farm of their own. The plan was to provide all the food customers needed for a year for a fee of several thousand

dollars per family, a set-up known as Community Supported Agriculture.

They also planned to do all the work on the farm without machinery, using draft horses in place of tractors.

“The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love” covers the Kimballs’ first year on Essex Farm, with a prologue and epilogue summarizing the seven or so years since. It is both a romance and an antiromance — hard labor and pure exhaustion can kill just about anyone’s desire — and Kimball is very upfront about both her and her husband’s shortcomings.

That’s part of what makes her memoir so memorable. In this “know your farmer” era, she doesn’t sugarcoat or skirt around the challenges and hardships that organic farmers

face. It might be best summed up with phrase Kimball uses near the end, “to do outpaces done” — always.

She and Mark began planning their farm the winter they got engaged. They married at the end of the first harvest. As Kimball writes, it was nearly “a marriage of celebrity-level brevity.” Between the engagement and wedding ceremony, she learned to milk cows, drive a team of draft horses and slaughter pigs. She slept in a farmhouse that was “a travesty” once inhabited by 16 people just out of high school.

They left holes in the walls, NASCAR stickers on doors and phone numbers written on the walls. But there was no time to fix up — or even clean

— the house, between the planting, weeding, harvesting and caring for livestock.

By the time the wedding rolled around, both were exhausted and “nothing went smoothly, the consequence of no advance planning.” The day after the wedding, they pressed guests who remained in town into a crew to help pick pumpkins before the first frost. That done, both bride and groom got sick.

Within a month, Kimball had left for a two-month writing assignment in Hawaii.

What saved her marriage, she writes, was the farm: “I found that what I missed first was not Mark, not the animals, but the dirt and the work.”

‘Rogue Island’ evokes drama of crime reporting

By The Associated Press

ARD-BOILED H reporter Liam Mulligan gets no respect from City

Hall as he uncovers a deadly arson conspiracy that threatens the Mount Hope neighborhood of Providence, R.I. “Why don’t you go cover a traffic accident?” one senior official tells him. “Better yet, have one.”

An old-school newspaperman who proudly declares, “I know the cops and the robbers, the barbers and the bartenders, the judges and the hit men, the whores and the priests,” Mulligan sets a lively and irreverent tone as narrator of “Rogue Island,” the rollicking debut crime thriller from Bruce DeSilva, a former writing coach for The Associated Press.

Adopting a crisp, fastpaced style that echoes the

work of Jimmy Breslin, Mike Barnicle and Mike Royko — renowned reallife journalists upon whom Mulligan is loosely modeled — DeSilva colorfully evokes the drama of crime reporting in a gritty, urban atmosphere where rules are made to be broken. “Without the lubri-

cant of graft and personal connections, not much would get done in Rhode Island,” Mulligan informs us, “and nothing at all would happen on time.”

Like Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Mulligan serves the cause of justice while drinking, bantering, smoking, fighting and exerting an irresistible attraction on members of the opposite sex. But self-doubt, not swagger, turns out to be his most interesting quality.

As newspapers across the country struggle for survival and once-mighty media corporations teeter on the verge of bankruptcy, Mulligan is keenly aware that his cherished way of life could vanish at any moment.

So when a firebug begins torching the neighborhood where Mulligan grew up, it’s more than just a crime story.

British actor is new ‘Spider-Man’ villian

By The Associated Press

HYS IFANS WILL R play the bad guy in the next “Spider-Man.”

But the filmmakers aren’t saying yet which character he’ll be.

Sony Pictures announced Monday that Ifans, widely known as a comic actor in such films as Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant’s “Notting Hill,” will co-star as the villain in the superhero adventure due out July 3, 2012.

The studio’s announcement

notes that the “filmmakers prefer to not reveal which character Ifans will be playing.”

The 43-year-old Ifans played Grant’s offbeat roommate in 1999’s “Notting Hill.” He costarred in this year’s “Nanny McPhee Returns” and Ben Stiller’s comic drama “Greenberg,” along with 2009’s disc jockey romp “Pirate Radio.”

He also costars in next month’s “Harry Potter” film.

Due out on July 3, 2012, the latest “Spider-Man” replaces long-time star Tobey Maguire with Andrew Garfield, who

Rhys Ifans

was recently seen in “The Social Network” and “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”
