FROM THE EDITOR A new Paul McCartney album came out this week. Entitled “New” — at least for the moment … I have to assume the former Beatle will change the name when his next CD comes out, unless he just calls that one “Newer” — the album is McCartney’s 16th solo record. While I’m on the fence about whether or not to buy it, the CD’s release did trigger a long-lost memory from my past. If you don’t count the soundtracks to “The Muppet Show” or “The Muppet Movie” (which do actually contain some serious rocking by the Dr.
Teeth Group), the first rock album I ever owned was a Paul McCartney record. Well, a cassette tape, to be more accurate. I hate to admit this now, having graduated from Utah State and more than two decades as a Cache Valley resident, but I bought McCartney’s “Tug of War” at the BYU Bookstore in Provo (full disclosure: I was raised by Cougars). Before going to a BYU football game at Cougar Stadium, my dad would always take us to the Wilkinson Student Center so we could hit the cafeteria (I still remember the chocolate creme pie as being huge and amazing). Then we’d usually drop by the bookstore, where during one particular visit, I decided to ante up $7.99 or so for McCartney’s fourth solo album. I had heard the duet with Stevie Won-
der entitled “Ebony and Ivory,” which I thought was OK, but I loved “Take it Away” — one of the first videos on MTV I had ever seen (and saw again and again because there were only about a dozen videos on MTV at the time). To be honest, at the time I was just 13 and didn’t know a whole lot about McCartney’s legendary stint with the Beatles … or even much about Wings. All I remember is that I liked “Tug of War” enough that the second rock album I ever bought was McCartney’s followup, “Pipes of Peace” and — for better or worse — they were the gateway drugs to me purchasing hundreds of tapes, records, CDs and/or MP3s over the next three decades. — Jeff Hunter
Taj Mahal shares the blues Tour group plays set for young students

PET OF THE WEEK
By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
In between a pair of evening shows at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, legendary bluesman Taj Mahal and a variety of musicians with the “World Blues” tour took the stage Wednesday morning for a matinee performance in front of nearly a thousand students from around Cache Valley. “I used to do shows like this pretty regularly, especially back in the ’80s when I didn’t have a whole lot of connection with the record industry,” Mahal said afterwards. “I was touring a lot, but I didn’t have a lot going on with the major record companies, so I took the opportunity to make some children’s albums like I had always wanted to do.” “… It’s been a little slow the last couple of years, but in general I still do about five or six a year. I like the challenge of playing for kids. A lot of people won’t play for kids, but it doesn’t bother me at all.” The Taj Mahal Trio, which includes veteran musicians Bill Rich on bass and Kester Smith on the drums, ended up playing a total of nine songs for students who ranged

Pet: Captain From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Captain’s such a sweetie pie. He has a wonderfully fuzzy coat that sticks out in all directions. He is a mellow kitten and likes to watch things going on around him, but that doesn’t stop him from pouncing on an unsuspecting sibling occasionally. He may be partially blind in one eye due to a squabble with a litter mate, but he was promptly treated and recovered quickly. Captain is healthy, happy and ready for a loving home.

Zombies, ghosts take over Logan The third annual Logan Downtown Zombie Walk will be held Friday, Oct. 18, along Main Street. A fundraiser for the Cache Community Food Pantry, participants dressed as zombies (or perhaps zombie hunters) will gather at the intersection of Church Street and Federal Avenue beginning at 6 p.m. Every zombie and onlooker is encouraged to bring one or more non-perishable food items in support of the pantry. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the entire horde of zombies and zombie hunters will head south on Federal Avenue to 100 North, then west on 100 North to the west side of Main Street, and then south on Main Street to The Factory Pizzeria for free pizza. Only costumed zombies and zombie hunters will be served. Also in downtown Logan this Halloween season, ghost tours are continuing this weekend. Learn about downtown’s most famous ghosts: The Vaudeville Ghost of the Eccles Theatre, the Lyric Ghost of Center Street, the Death Wagon Ghosts of the Copper Mill Restaurant in the Emporium, the Logan Dramatic Society Opera House Ghost at the Bluebird Restaurant and the Saloon Murder Ghost of the old J.R. Edwards Saloon. The Historic Downtown Logan Ghost Tour is technically a family-friendly tour, however, it is not recommended for small children. Each guided tour lasts approximately 100 minutes and walking distance is less than a half-mile. Tours will run nightly between 7 and 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays (Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26).

‘Fifth Estate’ stimulating But pace of new WikiLeaks film too frenetic LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ripped from headlines that still feel wet, “The Fifth Estate” dramatizes the fast, controversial rise of anonymous-whistleblower website WikiLeaks and its figurehead, Julian Assange. Aiming to provide the kind of speculative personality portrait behind another sweeping digital-age change in communication that touches nearly everyone, a la “The Social Network,” helmer Bill Condon and scenarist Josh Singer’s film must also stuff in a heavy load of global events, all in a hyperkinetic style aping today’s speed of information dispersal. Results can’t help but stimulate, but they’re also cluttered and overly frenetic, resulting in a narrative less informative, cogent and even emotionally engaging than Alex Gibney’s recent doc “We Steal

Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks.” After an opening credits montage that rockets through the history of news media, from hand-lettered scrolls to the Internet, the pic leaps into the peak October 2010 moment of WikiLeaks’ fame and notoriety, when Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) began releasing an enormous store of leaked classified U.S. govern-
ment documents. The resulting fracas outshone even prior firestorms incurred by WikiLeaks, and as postscripts note, Assange remains in hiding at Ecuador’s London embassy while various angry governments call for his extradition.

‘Gravity’ continues to fly high LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Gravity” won’t be held down. The Warner Bros. astronaut adventure directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney landed in the top spot at the box office for the second weekend in a row, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Gravity” earned $44.3 million, raising its domestic total to $123.4 million. “They say what goes up must come down, but that’s not really true with ‘Gravity,’” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office tracker Rentrak. “To have opened as big as it did last week and only drop 21 percent, that’s really an amazing hold. It’s a direct testament to the word of mouth on the movie.” “Gravity” also fared well overseas, making $28 million in 38 territories
such as Russia, Australia, Germany and Spain. Sony’s “Captain Phillips” launched in second place with a respectable $26 million. The high seas drama directed by Paul Greengrass stars Tom Hanks as a cargo ship captain who is held captive by Somali pirates. “We think the success of ‘Gravity’ will also bode well for ‘Captain Phillips,’” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony Pictures. “This is the extraordinary kind of film that we think audiences will flock to over the next several months moving forward.” The animated Sony movie “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” gobbled up third place in its third weekend with $14.2 million, bringing its domestic haul to $78 million. The weekend’s only other new release, “Machete Kills,” opened in fourth place with $3.8 million.

Sitting down for a screening of “Escape Plan” is like traveling back in time. At least 20 years. It’s uncanny how its formulaic ridiculousness whisks you away to a time where action movies were being produced like found-footage horror movies are today. Only this time around, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are creeping closer and closer to 70. That’s not stopping them from teaming up to crank out a few more derivative action movies before they — scratch that — if they retire. The movie begins with Ray Breslin (Stallone) incarcerated in a maximum-security prison. We can tell he’s formulating some kind of plan because the camera swings around as Breslin suspiciously peers at things. Breslin is an expert prison escape artist – a career which may only exist in the movies. He’s hired by correctional facilities to go in, undercover, and try to break out of the most secure prisons. He’s one smart cookie, and with the help of a couple montages, Breslin is able to break free of any confines holding him. His security firm is staffed by a cluster of throwaway cameos. Amy Ryan, Vincent D’Onofrio and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson make up his crew. With the exception of 50 Cent, this is a talented bunch of actors. After the first 10 minutes of the movie you’ll be wondering, “So, why were they in this movie again?” As if the movie didn’t have enough recogniz-

once, not twice, but three times does the camera slowly zoom back to reveal a surprising development in the scenery complete with ear-splitting crescendos. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so dull. Then comes the inevitable big escape which is full of shootouts where automatic machine gun fire hits everything but its intended target, where the main characters become dead-eye crackshots only when the plot calls for it, where locks are blown off of doors with bullets (“Mythbusters” alert!) and where explosions are exploding simply because nothing has exploded yet. If you’re able to enjoy its wink-wink nature then “Escape Plan” is the prison escape movie you wish you would’ve seen in 1993. The problem is I’m not entirely sure it’s winking.

‘I try to capture what’s going on’ Young artist Ryan Cannon shares his vision and artwork at Hyrum Library exhibit
In a small garage studio tucked alongside his Center Street home, Ryan Cannon humbly displays his body of artwork. He shares the studio with his wife, Liesel, whom he married in June of last year. Cannon’s focus is primarily on oil paintings, but he says he dabbles in drawing projects and plans to take ceramics and a printmaking class before he graduates with his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts at Utah State University.
Cannon says there were various aspects of oil painting that initially drew him to the specialty. “There are so many different textures you can make with oil paint and the combinations of color,” he says. Pointing to an exhibited painting of a landscape featuring Colorado trees, Cannon explains why he paints the pieces he does. “With everything I paint, I look for the individuality of the characteristics. The different trees, or in people’s portraits,” he says. “I try to capture what is going on.” A Cache Valley native, Cannon graduated from Logan High School in 2008. He says it was in his junior year of high school that he first discovered his passion to paint. “It was just a regular high school painting class,” he says. Cannon says another factor that helped him improve his painting skills and style was his mother’s interior design background. The owner of a local company called Martha Cannon Designs, she has helped guide
Above, a graduate of Logan High School, Ryan Cannon is majoring in art at Utah State. Facing page, Cannon’s artwork is currently on display at the Hyrum Library.
him along his artistic journey. “She would give me critiques to get better; sometimes they were things I didn’t want to hear,” Cannon admits, but then added that although his mother’s criticisms weren’t always positive, they helped him polish and refine his artistry. Additionally, his mom has helped him sell and place paintings in numerous businesses throughout Logan where she has done interior design work. An apparent family trait, Cannon says his older brother is also an interior designer and USU alumnus who additionally does pottery work.
After Cannon receives his bachelor’s degree, he says he plans to attend a graduate school somewhere outside of Utah. “I’m exploring right now, trying to create a portfolio,” he says. “I’m not really sure where right now — wherever they’ll take me.” His plans after receiving a master’s are to paint full time and possibly become a professor of oil painting. The USU art department and his professors have helped him progress. “I’m learning a ton and the professors are really helping me move along with my art and understanding
how to explain my art and how to improve,” he says. Cannon says his wife will be happy wherever they end up going when he is accepted to a graduate program. Aside from painting, Cannon says he enjoys the outdoors and he and his wife have been going on a lot of hikes recently. They frequent the trails of Logan Canyon and other local nature spots. The couple met at the LDS Institute of Religion at Utah State in a class where they assisted a group of students with special needs. He says he and Leisel dated for about six months before they were engaged. Leisel, being very supportive of Cannon’s work, plans to become a high school teacher after her own graduation. As an art major and biology minor, she hopes to teach either subject. Currently displaying a one-man show at the Hyrum Library, Cannon says his art is currently in the exploration mode. “Portraits, landscapes, still lifes. All the portraits and landscapes are different — different things I’m trying to achieve,” he says. He says the opportunity for the exhibit arose when he was doing another display at “Art on the Lawn” and Scott Bushman approached him, asking if he would be interested in doing a show at the library. With the goal to be a full-time painter in the future, Cannon is already halfway there. He says he worked for Logan City half of the year and was able to live off selling his painting at local shows and to businesses for the other half.
In between yelling at the radio over news reports of the government’s economic murder-suicide pact and waiting for the Public Radio pledge drive to end, the one thing that caught my ear was a sponsor spot for “life coach” services. I thought that’s what parents and priests were supposed to do, but maybe if you pay real money for coaching, you will be more likely to adhere to rather than rebel against the advice.

say. “Maybe if you really practice and focus, you will be ready for the next life.” Often the best coaches were not the best players, so when choosing a life coach, do you look for someone who is highly successful at life, or do you go with someone who has intimate personal experience with divorce, disease and DUIs? Do you want an old person who can warn you about what lies ahead, or do you want a young perky optimistic one who can push you to your limits? No doubt I’m going to get blasted by some pro-
fessional association of certified life coaches and those who play for their various life teams, but I just don’t get it. Unless you have a time machine or have come back from the dead, there’s not much of a game plan to life. I feel bad that anyone would have to pay for this sort of thing, so let me give you some free Slightly Off Center Life Pro tips: • If the person sitting next to you in the car turns out to be a crash test dummy, you are in the wrong car. Get out immediately. • Do not put baklava on your head and do not
serve a balaclava for dessert. • Don’t hate BYU, just strive to like every other university more. • There is no vaccine that can protect you from crazy people. • Toast always lands buttered side down. • Unplugging and plugging back in fixes most things — except the government. • Take comfort in knowing that maintaining your calm can actually drive others crazy. ———

Books Bridget Jones older, shallower and boring By Matt Moore Associated Press
Time has dulled Bridget Jones. It has also left her neither wiser, more relaxed nor comfortable with the person she’s become and the people she counts as her friends. That’s both good and bad because in Helen Fielding’s “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the British heroine — whose sense of self was so strong and so entertaining in the first two novels that it created an archetype of self-determination bela-
boring amusing bouts of self-confidence — is lost amid social media, parental responsibility and trying to impress the moms at school.

Her journey is chroniAlexander is quite cled in “Chasing Chaos: My Decade in and out of good at pointing out the many challenges faced Humanitarian Aid,” an by aid workers, such enlightening but uneven as the danger that their memoir. efforts can become a Alexander writes in permanent fixture.

In some ways, infrastructure and offer this is good — it’s
more resources than their existing village is deeply disturbing.) However, Alexander doesn’t really propose much in the way of solutions to the many problems in the world of aid, chief among them an unfortunate dearth of
accountability and ridiculous levels of redundancy. She even avoids mentioning the names of some of the organizations she worked for, which undercuts her stated concerns about accountability. In all fairness, “Chasing Chaos” isn’t being billed as an academic treatise about the world of aid, but rather as a memoir. So we learn a great deal about Alexander’s personal life, especially how much the death of her mother affected her as she traveled to various hot spots, from postmassacre Rwanda to post-earthquake Haiti. (The 2004 South Asian tsunami also makes an appearance, as does the troubled Darfur region
of Sudan.) Alexander performed various tasks, from effectively running a refugee camp to acting as an outside assessor of aid programs. Her tale about trying to save an infant girl with hydrocephalus only to run into uncaring bureaucracy is particularly affecting. But Alexander’s “decade in and out of humanitarian aid” has some significant outs. If anything, her experience points to one of the major weak points of aid work, which is that these servants of humanity don’t stick around very long in one place. They get burned out, jump at better offers or are simply more interested in getting their next adrenaline rush at the newest world disaster.
To her credit, Alexander acknowledges some of these weaknesses in the sector, but one wonders whether 10 years “in and out” of humanitarian work was really enough to write about. It was nice to see Alexander discuss some of the personal shenanigans among aid workers — she didn’t gloss over the sexual flings, the adultery and the partying that’s part of that lifestyle. Yet, she could also be downright derisive. Her brief mentions of “humanitarian widows” — middle-aged women who were divorced or unmarried, without kids, who’d given their best years to the world of aid — came across as pure See LIFE on Page 13

Exhibit showcases the Cases
Brigham City artists G. Russell Case and his father Garry Case have used thousands of tubes of paint and acres of canvases depicting a world of mountainous horizons, towering skies and meandering rivers. The painters’ depictions of these western vistas, which are mostly from local subjects, will hang in the Brigham City Museum of Art and History from Oct. 11 to Dec. 7. A reception for the artists will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2. The public is invited. Refreshments will be served.
Estate Continued from Page 6 contact with German technology activist Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Bruehl), whom he trusts enough to make a close collaborator. Daniel is an enthusiastic acolyte, so much so that the 24/7 devotion Julian demands soon exasperates Daniel’s girlfriend (Alicia Vikander in a standard thankless role). The mysterious, seemingly large Wiki organization Assange frequently alludes to turns out to be nothing but “a website, a couple email addresses, and you,” he eventually admits, though others climb on board. But even as WikiLeaks appears to be winning the information war in forcing transparency from governments and corporations, pushing them toward greater ethical accountability, Assange show signs of megalomania, instability and ques-

For further information, call (435) 226-1439 or visit www. brighamcitymuseum.org. Russell Case is considered among the best artists in the nation. His paintings are sought by galleries, collectors and art investors. He says, “My compositions are sweeping, idealized versions of the landscape that combine the beauty of the natural

Returning to the screenplay’s start point, his troops rebel when Assange balks at redacting any top-secret American communiques, even the parts that might put innocent lives at lethal risk in global hot spots. Both the kindest and most damning thing you can say about “The Fifth Estate” is that it primarily hobbles itself by trying to cram in more context-needy material than any single drama should have to bear. You can feel the strain on “The West Wing” writer Singer, penning his first big-screen effort, as practically every line has to sum up a philosophy, situation or dilemma. Likewise, Condon, usually a director of admirable cogency and restraint, lays on a battery of audiovisual tactics (onscreen text, graphics, split screen, vertical wipes, etc.), largely set to techno tracks or Carter Burwell’s equally pounding score.

His creative energy was first fostered by his father. When Russell was 14 years old, he monitored an adult-education watercolor class his father taught at Box Elder Junior High School in Brigham City and was intrigued by the medium. Russell asked his father to set up a See CASES on Page 13
Tobias Schliesser’s camera often jitters as if on its 10th espresso, while Virginia Katz’s editing seldom pauses for breath. There’s conceptual logic behind these decisions, but they are as frequently off-putting as they are thematically apt. No wonder the two perhaps most memorable scenes are among the very few that slow enough to allow nuance: an uncomfortable visit to Daniel’s parents’ home, when Julian openly disdains them as bourgeois intellectuals; and a let’sjust get-drunk moment between Laura Linney and Stanley Tucci as State Dept. honchos whose careers won’t likely survive the latest Wiki leaks.

just not enough, though not for lack of trying. Perhaps that’s an echo of the time that Bridget and her readers live in, with the short bursts of information, a focus on the quick and a general intolerance for taking time to do things.

For 15 years, Russell translated his surroundings into watercolors, creating a foundation for the liquid vibrancy found in his later oil paintings. During his junior year at Box Elder High School, Russell said he had an excellent art teacher, Lynn Hone. Russell recalls his teacher inviting a guest graduate student from Utah State University to speak about art. Russell said he asked many questions about watercolor and how to improve his skills. The answer to the latter question was, “Paint 100 watercolors.” Russell says mood and feeling all came together at this moment ,and he knew he wanted to pursue a career as a fine artist. He says growing up in a home surrounded by art laid the groundwork for his decision.

a solid contribution to what is hopefully a growing genre of writing about a sector that deserves more attention and oversight, not least because it is accessible, easy reading for people not engaged with the subject. Still, it could have been stronger with more research and more years of experience to write about. According to her publisher, Alexander is now pursuing a Ph.D., focusing her research on accountability in humanitarian action, so perhaps we will see more substantive work from her in the future.
