From the editor AYBE I’M OBSESSING A M bit about this whole editor photo thing. In the past two weeks, I’ve used two different images and was about to try a third just for kicks. The last time I was this concerned about how I look was during the portrait sitting at my sister’s wedding. Well, actually this is worse. I knew the wedding pictures would just end up in a few family albums, but thousands of people look at this column each week. As a result, I’ve debated what tone to strike here: toothy grin; Mona Lisa

smile; serious, no-nonsense stare? The goal is to come across as fun but professional, outgoing but authoritative — is that really so hard? It doesn’t help that practically every person I’ve talked to has liked a different look. As a child of the reality TV era, I see only one solution: put the photo question to a public vote. Feel free to e-mail and tell me which of these pictures should fill this space. With your help, I’ll finally settle on something — at least for a couple of months.

This dog is available for adoption! Pet: Camo From: Four Paws Why he’s so lovable: “Camo is a sweetheart who LOVES people! Camo is good with other dogs and likes to play with them. He would do best with kids ages 10 and up due to his energy. We’re not sure on his housetraining status or how he is with cats. Camo is energetic and would make the perfect exercise buddy! Like the typical Australian Shepherd, he is very smart and could probably learn any trick. He is about 4 years old and weighs 50 pounds. Camo’s adoption fee is $125, which includes his neuter surgery and vaccinations. To meet Camo, please call Lisa at 752-3534.

Miller’s latest ski dream coming to Utah State

A

NEW FILM FROM ski and snowboard icon Warren Miller will screen at Utah State University’s Kent Concert Hall at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Oct. 29. Tickets for “Wintervention” are $18 at the door or $16 in advance. Purchase tickets at Al’s Sporting Goods, 1617 N. Main St., or the Caine College of the Arts box office in the Chase Fine Arts Center — 4030 Old Main Hill, 797-8022, http://arts.usu.edu.

Everyone attending the screening will receive a free mid-week lift ticket to The Canyons resort and a subscription to Ski Mag. There will also be door prizes. Film screenings are taking place across the country, as well as in Ogden, Salt Lake City, Orem and Park City. Narrated by Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley, Warren Miller’s “Wintervention” is the definitive solution for the snow-obsessed. “Wintervention” takes riders like Chris

Davenport, Jonny Moseley and Lindsey Vonn on a global tour of Alaska, Norway, Canada, Antarctica and beyond… delivering a successful Wintervention for all of us in need. With 50 years of experience shooting skiing and snowboarding, 81-year-old Warren Miller has become an icon among his fans. The California native began his career after being discharged from the Navy in 1946. During the next two years, he and a friend filmed each other

skiing and surfing. Miller got a loan to pay for a better camera and with “lots and lots of grueling travel and sometimes round-the-clock work ethic,” his professional movie-making career began. “I was so broke that for a few years, I had to frame houses in the spring and summers to make the rent and all the expenses that came up,” Miller said. “And every spring, I’d have to hock my car with the bank to be able to pay for the film processing.”

He booked film showings in towns near ski resorts so that he could film all day for next year’s film, showing the current film at night. The screenings sometimes took in only $11, “sometimes much more, but it was enough for gas, a $4 motel, food and film.” Miller’s popularity grew as extreme sports took off. Recently, ESPN credited him with virtaully inventing the athletic film genre. His past movies include “Endless Winter” and “Ride.”

A Seussical celebration

T

HE CAINE COLLEGE OF the Arts at Utah State University welcomes Cache Valley residents to the Seussical Family Carnival, held in conjunction with the Utah State Theatre production of “Seussical the Musical” beginning Oct. 28. Admission to the carnival is free, with various booths for games, arts activities, concessions and shopping set up throughout the Tippetts Exhibition Hall during most production dates. “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. The Seussical Family Carnival is held daily during the opening week of “Seussical,” and the second weekend of the production’s run. Dates and times include: 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 28; 9 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 29; noon to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 30; 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 and 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 6. Activities scheduled for booths include face painting, balloon ani-

mals, an illusionist and carnival games. Companies can sign up for booth space by calling Courtney Lewis at 797-9203. Companies can sell products, give away merchandise or offer games and Halloween candy to carnival-goers. Also, an exhibit of elementary school art work on the theme “Oh, the places I’ll go,” will be on display in the Tippetts Exhibition Hall as part of a Caine College of the Arts competition at eight local schools. For more information on any of the Seuss-related events, contact Lewis at courtney.lewis@usu.edu or 797-9203.

At the top of the world Images reveal Alaska’s Desolate landscape

A

N EXHIBIT OF photographs by Jim Stettler titled “The Great Land — Alaska” will hang in the Brigham City Museum-Gallery from Oct. 26 through Dec. 15. The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, call 723-6769. In the photos, Stettler has captured tri-color sepia images of the people and scenery that enthralled him around Anchorage, Barrow, Fairbanks, Homer, Seward and other locations in Alaska. The photos were taken during a recent five-year period. One of his notable workss shows Ikalyn Brower, who was the winner of the “2010

Top of the World” Baby contest in Barrow. The girl was wearing clothing made from the fur of a wolf and a wolverine caught by her father. The mother stitched the fur together by hand. Harvest time has an entirely different meaning in Alaska as Stettler discovered when he moved there in 1996 to work for Barrow Utilities & Electric Coop., Inc. On his days off, with his Canon 5D in hand, he witnessed the Inupiat Eskimos bringing home a whale. He shot images of the native community working together to harvest the meat, which is shared with everyone. Other scenes that unfolded before the cameraman were Whalebone Arch and Risk. The arch sits on the shore of the Arctic Ocean next to the building that was the headquarters for the first whaling

captains. It is the most prominent landmark in Barrow. Stettler’s interest in photographing Alaska extended to the North Slope in winter where the average temperature is minus 35 degrees with a wind chill of minus 60 degrees or lower. The town has no auto mechanics, carpenters and electricians. Services are expensive, thus the people must become jacks-of-all-trade. Alaska became a living, breathing character for the photographer before he left in September and returned to Utah to work on his art full-time. Stettler was born and raised in Ogden, attending Weber State University for two years before moving to Alaska when he was 27. He is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography.

Wildlife artists to speak at USU library

RIENDS OF THE F Merrill-Cazier Library will host its annual fall lecture fea-

turing local artists Russell Case and Luke Frazier at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, in room 101 in the Merrill-Cazier Library on the USU campus. Light refreshments will be served. Case and Frazier graduated with art degrees from Utah State University and have achieved critical acclaim. The lecture features examples of their artwork, as well as a discussion of their philosophies and methods. The idea for the talk originated from library donors and art collectors Mike and Karen Edson. Both have ties to the university and commented about the plethora of successful outdoor and wildlife artists coming

through the Utah State University art program. Case makes his home in Brigham City where he was born and raised. His artistic talents were encouraged by his artist father, Gary Case. Russell Case’s landscapes are reminiscent of many of the great Western artists, including Maynard Dixon and Thomas Moran. One author described Case’s work as “simple, pure and fresh; his painting draws in the viewer and delivers timeless landscapes. We are immediately transported into a world created by shadow and light, of immense vistas punctuated by jagged mountains and inhabited by lonesome cowboys.” Frazier grew up in northern Utah and still lives in the area.

Folk duo coming to Crumb Brothers

L

OGAN’S BRIDGER FOLK Music Society presents a concert with Cosy Sheridan and TR Ritchie at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West. The concert is sponsored by Import Auto and Utah Public Radio. Between them Cosy Sheridan and TR Ritchie have won most of the major songwriting contests in the country, imcluding the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, The Sisters Folk Festival, The Napa Valley Folk Festival and Utah’s Snowbird Mountain Festival. Often traveling together but also performing solo, they have toured across the country for the past 20 years. Sheridan has been called “one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singersongwriters.” A storyteller as well as a songwriter, she weaves children’s stories into metaphors of modern adulthood: The Little Engine That Could talks with Ferdinand The Bull. Her modern renditions of mythology (we meet Hades the biker)

have won her fans and critical praise. In 1994, Sheridan wrote and produced a one-woman-show entitled “The Pomegranate Seed — an Exploration of Appetite, Body-Image and Myth,” which she performs at colleges around the country. Ritchie, who earned his chops as a street singer in Seattle’s Pike Street Market in the early ‘80s, delivers understated yet powerful imagery in his songs. Dubbed a “classic folk troubadour” by Performing Songwriter magazine, Ritchie’s roots-influenced music has a timeless appeal. This past July he was invited to accompany Alexandra Cousteau and her Blue Legacy crew of photographers and writers on a trip though Cataract Canyon to add a musical perspective to the NationalGeographic-sponsored expedition. The crew filmed him singing “Let This Mighty River Roll,” his song for Glen Canyon. Sheridan and Ritchie met at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1992 and moved to Moab in 1994. In 2008, they co-

founded the Moab Folk Camp, a folk and acoustic camp for adults and high school students that takes place each November before the popular Moab

Folk Festival. For more information, go to www. bridgerfolk.org or www.cosysheridan. com and www.trritchie.com.”

Film Still playing “Red” Rated PG-13 ★★ This spy caper admirably rejects the frenzy of many modern action thrillers, slowing things down to a digestible pace appropriate for vintage-bordering-on-geriatric heroes Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren. Yet despite the impressive cast, which includes Mary-Louise Parker, Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine, this latest adaptation of a hip graphic novel fails to fill in the spaces between the action with anything terribly interesting. Director Robert Schwentke aims for a mix of action and comedy but never quite delivers on either. The action is OK, though nothing you haven’t seen done better a hundred times before, while the laughs are slight and sporadic, the filmmakers unable to generate enough clever interplay among the story’s band of ex-CIA operatives targeted for elimination. It’s a missed opportunity, given Willis’ coolunder-fire comic charms and the brilliant co-stars off whom he could have been bouncing better wisecracks. 111 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 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 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 Belmont Stakes finale. 116 minutes.

“Life As We Know It” Rated PG-13 ★★ Katherine Heigl has again been saddled with an unexpected baby, only this time, no one calls her parenting mate a schlub. Unlike Heigl’s “Knocked Up” co-star, Seth Rogen, Josh Duhamel is emphatically in her league. In “Life As We Know It,” they have a good and believable chemistry as opposites pushed together through fate. Heigl and Duhamel have handsome movie-star presences and keep the movie entertaining, even though its familiar story passes with “The Social Network” Rated PG ★★★★ 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 mas-

nothing to distinguish itself from the many other similarly plotted films and sitcoms. They play godparents to mutual friends, who die suddenly. Guardianship to their baby girl is left to the pair, even though they hate each other. Everything from there proceeds exactly as you’d expect: some combination of antics with diapers, anxious speeches over kitchen sinks and — Spoiler Alert!! — gradual heartwarming toward each other and their makeshift family. With Sarah Burns and Melissa McCarthy as candid onlookers. 115 minutes. tery 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 back-stabbing. 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 (the new Spiderman), Justin Timberlake and Armie Hammer playing a set of twins. One of the year’s best films. 120 minutes.

“Jackass 3D” Rated R ★★ Three-D would seem tailormade for the guys from “Jackass.” When the technology is used for its funniest and most entertaining purposes, as it was recently in “Piranha 3-D,” it’s all about the wild, gratuitous gimmicks. Johnny Knoxville and Co., who are constantly outdoing themselves with crazy and creative pranks and stunts, would seem to be just the right guys to do that sort of thing. But very little occurs in their latest movie, “Jackass 3D,” that wouldn’t have sufficed in 2-D. Sure, there’s an amusing and effective bit involving archery with a sex toy rather than an arrow. Steve-O and Dave England play tetherball with a beehive — dressed in nothing but furry bear hats and tightywhities — and it feels as if the worked-up insects are swarming around us, too. But more often than not, this third installment in the franchise, directed as always by Jeff Tremaine, doesn’t take full advantage of its visual potential. A lot of what goes on here is the typical hit-and-miss, let’s-see-whathappens silliness. Bodily injury usually ensues. But “Jackass 3D” — and the group’s entire oeuvre, if you will — is at its best when it’s about these guys playing well-orchestrated tricks on each other and the world at large. 94 minutes. “Easy A” Rated PG-13 ★★★ High school teenager Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) breezes through phrases like “terminal illogical inexactitude,” makes elaborate Google Earth metaphors and does it all without arrogance or even an upturned eyebrow. She is, in short, way out of any teenage boy’s league. Olive accidentally develops a reputation as an “easy” girl after — to satiate her badgering best friend Rhiannon (Aly Michalka) — she lies 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 literary style, “Easy A” is clearly the child of filmmaker John Hughes, who created the angsty ‘80s films “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.” 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. 93 min. “The Town” Rated R ★★★ This may not have quite the emotional heft of “Gone Baby Gone,” Ben Affleck’s startlingly assured 2007 directing debut. What it has instead, though, is a greater technical complexity, a larger scope, and the promise of a director who’s well on his way to establishing a distinctive vision and voice. Affleck also has a way with his actors — unsurprising, having been one himself for so long and not always getting the credit he deserves — and he’s once again attracted some tremendous talent: Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm and Chris Cooper, who leaves his mark in just one powerful scene. Even Blake Lively is surprisingly good, playing against type as a damaged single mom. But besides directing and co-writing the script with Peter Craig and Aaron Stockard, Affleck himself is at the center of the action in front of the camera, starring as Doug MacRay, the leader of a Boston bank-heist crew, and giving the best leading performance of his career. During the group’s latest crime, Doug’s volatile best friend (Renner) takes a hostage of the bank manager (Hall), but when they realize later that she lives just a few blocks away in insular Charlestown, they check up on her to determine whether she might have seen anything. Doug treats her with unexpected kindness, then ends up befriending her, then falls for her — and she falls for him, too, not knowing she’s getting involved with the thief who just turned her world upside-down. 128 min.


“H

EREAFTER� almost assuredly is a movie that could only be made by Clint Eastwood and still receive a wide release. If anyone else attempted to make this same exact movie without Eastwood’s clout, this one would end up with limited releases in a few art house theaters across the country. Lucky for us though, Eastwood is a machine when it comes to making thoughtful, soulful, dramatic pieces that explore the human condition. This movie is being marketed with trailers that make it look like a thrill-filled, psychological mind-bender. If that’s what you were expecting then prepare for something much different. It’s true, the movie starts off with a scene so breathtaking and so humongous in scope that you have no choice but to be drawn into the movie by force. It’s a lazy, sunny day in an island town somewhere in Southeast Asia. A French reporter named Marie (CÊcile De France) wakes up in her hotel with her husband. She heads out to the street market to buy a few gifts for the kids back home. Her husband wakes up just in time to see the ocean as it slowly crawls back onto itself. The water moves back farther and farther, and then there it is, a gigantic tidal wave bearing down on the small town and luxury hotel. It swallows up guests as they run from it. It smashes into small buildings, demolishing them. It sweeps down the city streets, sucking up cars, trees, power lines, everything. Marie is swallowed up in the raging torrent and ends

Eastwood never gives us more than a few glimpses of this afterlife that everyone is talking about. This isn’t like “The Lovely Bones� where spirits go to frolic around in serene CGI landscapes. Instead Eastwood makes a conscious decision to withhold a lot of the

He’s lonely and finds himself immersed in Charles Dickens stories read aloud on a CD as he tries to fall asleep. This movie has Eastwood’s stamp all over it. After the feverish beginning, the movie settles down into a character driven piece that has three separate people trying to understand what happens after we die. It never feels preachy or conceited; instead this is a world where real psychics do exist, there is some sort of afterlife and connections can be made with people beyond the grave.

The movie moves slowly, which might put off quite a few viewers. In the screening I saw, people began fidgeting, no doubt wondering when something big like the tidal wave was going to

Eastwood takes a daring leap here in today’s box office, which is crowded with high-octane action flicks, and tells an introspective story about life, love, and death.

‘Hereafter’ elegantly probes great beyond


he best improv, a local funny man said, comes from simply listening to fellow actors and timing a clever response. On Friday nights at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema, five improvisation actors light up the stage with sketches and games that poke fun at everything from Smokey the Bear to actor Will Smith. The Antics improv troupe entertains its growing crowd with short-form improvisation during laugh-out-loud games including “Soundbooth,” “Bad Advice,” and a sketch where participants do their best to imitate actor David Caruso while discussing topics that have nothing to do with the popular television show “CSI: Miami.” Matt Allred, a 23year-old creative writing major at Utah State University who performed last Friday with four other Antics members, said making people laugh is an art form that takes some talent and a lot of practice. He said he took an interest in improvisation comedy after watching “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and doing some acting in high school. “We soon figured out there is a lot to learning improv,” he said. “Improv is an art form — the same way a painter paints. They do it because they like it and they have some talent for it.” Allred said he and his fellow actors do improv because they enjoy the way it makes them feel. “All of us like to perform and make people laugh,” he added. “But I don’t think performing is the main thing. I think the main thing for us is it’s something we have an interest in and we want to spend time working on it.” Antics performer Lorin Bruns, 25, said improv comedy isn’t about standing on

stage and telling jokes. “What makes the audience laugh is when they connect with somebody,” he said. “It all comes from listening and reacting honestly. As long as you listen to the person you’re working with, you’ll never not know what to say and the humor just comes out naturally.” Bruns also grew up entertaining his friends. He performed improv in high school and emphasized that successful comedy in improv is a team effort. “The people I work with are amazingly funny and talented,” he said. “It doesn’t feel like we’re a theater group at all, it feels more like a bunch of friends getting together.” Bruns said at first, the crowd was a little sluggish but now that the Antics name has gained popularity and the group has a more permanent performance space, the laughter inside the venue is getting louder. An Antics show on Oct. 8 filled the venue to capacity. Friday’s show was seen by a smaller crowd, but the gut-busting laughs from the audience energized the troupe just the same. Patron Sarah Bailey said she likes the performance because the comedy is clean and original. “I come to the Antics shows because they’re really funny and it’s original comedy,” she said. “It’s impressive that they make everything up on the spot and it’s also clean. Every time you go, you get a new show. You don’t see the same jokes repeated over and over.” The Antics team is comprised of about a dozen performers. Each week about five actors take the stage at 10:30 p.m. at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. The cost is $5. For more information, go to www. loganarthouse.com.

he best improv, a local funny man said, comes from simply listening to fellow actors and timing a clever response. On Friday nights at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema, five improvisation actors light up the stage with sketches and games that poke fun at everything from Smokey the Bear to actor Will Smith.

Day of the Dead A at USU musuem T

D

IA DE LOS Muertos or Day of the Dead is the next activity at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology. A number of activities, all a part of the museum’s Saturdays at the Museum series, are planned for Saturday, Oct. 23. Dia De Los Muertos is a Hispanic holiday that traces its origins to the Mesoamerican culture of the Aztecs and is founded in a deep respect for deceased ancestors. Museum guests can participate in a variety of the holiday’s traditions and explore the cultural meaning behind the holiday. Activities include decorating a sugar skull, making a calaveras (dancing skeleton), collecting traditional recipes and tasting traditional celebration foods.

“Dia de los Muertos is a great opportunity for people to honor and remember their loved ones,” said Saturdays Program Coordinator Aurora Durfee. “Dia de los Muertos is a centuries-old tradition that allows people to talk about the dead in a positive way.” In addition to its Saturday program hours, the Museum of Anthropology is open to USU students and members of the public six days a week, with regular hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. The Museum is part of the anthropology program at Utah State University.

10 a.m. Saturday on Logan’s Main Street at 100 South, continuing north to 800 North. A statue of Merlin Olsen will be unveiled at noon outside Romney Stadium. At 12:30 p.m., the pre-game party takes over the West parking lot of Romney Stadium. Food from Texas Roadhouse is available for $6 per person in advance; $8 the day of the event. The Homecoming game against Hawaii starts at 3:05 p.m. At 8:30 p.m. Saturday night, USU’s volleyball team takes on New Mexico State at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. For a complete schedule of Homecoming events, go to www.usu.edu/ homecoming.

‘green’ party for Stokes

HE STOKES Nature Center will host its 13th annual dinner and auction fundraiser at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Copper Mill Restaurant, 55 N. Main. Cost is $50 per person, $500 for a table of 10. Attendees should dress “green,” with costume prizes for “most green,” “luckiest,” “most sustainable,” “most selfpowered” and “lucky lady.” Tickets are available online at www.logannature.org or at Fuhriman’s Framing & Fine Art (75 S. Main St.), the College of Natural Resources dean’s office at Utah State University and Stokes Nature Center. For more information, call 755-3239. The mission of Stokes Nature Center is to provide opportunities for students of all ages to

explore, learn about and develop appreciation and stewardship for our natural world. Located one mile up Logan Canyon on the Logan River, Stokes’s 3,000 square-foot lodge sits on U.S. Forest Service lands and operates under a lease agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. The lodge was constructed in 1924 by

members of the American Legion and later donated to the Trapper Trails Council of the Boy Scouts. Logan’s First Presbyterian Church took title to the building in 1996 and in a partnership with the Bridgerland Audubon Society designated a board to establish a separate organization to develop a not-for-profit nature center. A crew

of volunteers worked for more than a year renovating the building to provide a safe and welcoming place for learning. In 1997, the Allen and Alice Stokes Nature Center was dedicated, honoring the late philanthropist Allen Stokes and his wife, Alice. In July of 2001, after almost four successful years of programming, the title to the building was turned over to Stokes Nature Center, which offers nature-oriented programs for all ages. The organization is currently designing a new, much larger lodge that is planned for the Second Dam area of Logan Canyon. It will likely be built within in the next few years, housing additional exhibits and events.

New book looks at Amanda Knox case By The Associated Press

A

MANDA KNOX, the American student convicted in Italy of murdering her British roommate, is quoted as saying in a new book that she’d rather not be famous for the slaying and that her days in jail feel like “limbo” — suspended between her old life and her hopes for the future. Knox talks about her aspirations to marry and adopt children and her interests in writing and studying languages in a series of jailhouse conversations with an Italian lawmaker who visited her over the past year. The conversations serve as the basis for the book. The 23-year-old Knox was convicted in December of murder and sexual assault in the 2007 death of her housemate, British student Meredith Kercher. She was sentenced to 26 years in prison by a court in

Amanda Knox

Perugia, central Italy. Knox’s former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito of Italy, was convicted alongside Knox and sentenced to 25 years in prison. A third man, Rudy Hermann Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen, was convicted in a separate, earlier trial and sentenced to 30 years in prison — which was cut to 16 years on appeal. All three have maintained

their innocence. The book “Take Me With You - Talks with Amanda Knox in Prison” by lawmaker Rocco Girlanda comes out Tuesday, about a month before Knox’s appeal begins Nov. 24. A lawyer for the Kercher family called it “inappropriate” and unnecessary. “We certainly don’t feel there was a need for this book,” Kercher family attorney Francesco Maresca said. The book is one of many on a case that has fascinated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. But unlike the others, it does not discuss Kercher’s murder. Instead, the book focuses on Knox’s personality, childhood and hopes for post-prison life. The book is being published in Italian and as an e-book in English by Piemme, a publishing house within the Mondadori media empire. Knox says she would like to

Rose Tremain’s ‘Trespass’: tight, spellbinding mystery By The Associated Press

HER LATEST BOOK IusesN“Trespass,” Rose Tremain delicate, almost gauzy, gorgeous language to gently place her tale in the most pastoral of settings — a stone farmhouse in southern France. But the contrast between the locale and the sinister tale Tremain skillfully unleashes is jarring — like diving into “the drenching, reviving cold of the pool” as one of her characters, Parisian schoolgirl Melodie, experiences near the beginning of this spellbinding work of fiction. At the heart of “Trespass” is Mas Lunel, the farmhouse inhabited by a family and left

under less-than-upstanding circumstances to Aramon, an elderly and miserable man. His sister, Audrun, who’s no less

miserable, but left so by circumstances not of her own making, has taken up residence in a tiny blight of a bungalow at the edge of the family’s land. Because wealthy foreigners are flocking in droves to Cevennes, Aramon, who senses a small fortune, decides to sell. That action triggers a series of disasters — big and small. It further alienates Audrun, but also attracts a down-on-his-luck London antiques dealer, his sister and her lover — all of whom conceal secrets of their own. Tremain’s vivid imagination is beautifully conveyed here, and her storytelling is concise and expertly executed. Buoying the suspense and thrill of the tale, her prose is steeped in sadness.

get married but “must also find the person,” and would adopt children rather than giving birth because “there are a lot of kids in this world who have no one.” She speaks of the letters she received in jail, including marriage proposals. “How ugly to be famous for this. I would have preferred to be (famous) for something I built, I achieved,” she is quoted as saying. At another point, Knox says “being in here is like being in a limbo.” Girlanda says he kept diaries of the some 20 Italian-language conversations he has had with Knox since her conviction. Girlanda, who heads a foundation that promotes ties between Italy and the United States, said he started meeting with Knox in a bid to help offset the diplomatic fallout the explosive case had created. He insisted the girl he had

come to know was different from the “sex, drugs and rock and roll” image depicted by some in the press. Knox was described by the prosecution as a manipulative, cold-blooded she-devil who had grown apart from Kercher. Knox insisted she was friends with the victim and was shocked by her death. The attorney for the Kercher family, Maresca, said he had not read the book but understood the author was trying to portray Knox as a profound, smart girl who as such could not possibly have been guilty. But Maresca maintained that conversations which took place years after the crime aren’t necessarily indicative of a person’s true character. Kercher’s body was found in a pool of blood with her throat slit in 2007 in the bedroom of the house she shared with Knox while the two were exchange students.

Kanye West considered suicide By The Associated Press

K

ANYE WEST told an audience at a screening of his film, “Runaway,” that he thought about killing himself, but now feels a responsibility to make a meaningful contribution to pop culture and art. Describing himself as a pop icon and “soldier for culture,” West told the crowd “there were times that I contemplated suicide.” However, he said, “I will not give up on life again.” “There’s so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard” as AP Photo Hip-hop artist Kanye West before a screening of “Runaway,” a short loudly as his, West said Monfilm he directed that will accompany his forthcoming album “My day. “I do it for them.” Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” on Monday in Los Angeles.

tures Elton John on piano and an all-star chorus including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Fergie and John Legend. Ballerinas in black tutus perform in a scene featuring his current single, “Runaway.” When the tune ended, there was applause from both the on-screen and live audience. In attendance were Morgan Spurlock, Ryan Phillippe, Pete Wentz and others in the entertainment industry. The 33-year-old West told them that after a “long, hard year,” he’d found his “creative sweet spot” by thinking like “a 5-year-old at all times.” Besides his mother Donda West’s death in 2007, West said he’d also lost three other parental figures in the last three years. “Everything has been taken away from me,” he said. “I’m so not ... scared. I so don’t care.” After the Taylor Swift incident last year, which he called “a moment of sincerity,” West took a six-month break. (At the MTV Video Music Awards, Swift’s acceptance speech for best female video

for “You Belong with Me” was disrupted by West, who took the microphone to say Beyonce should have won instead for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”) West said he moved to Rome and “was interning at Fendi” before finding the inspiration to get back to music. He has hinted at the subject of suicide in his recent song “Power,” which includes the repeated lines: “Now this would be a beautiful death — I’m jumping out the window, I’m letting everything go.” That song’s remix is among the 10 tunes that West has released for free in recent weeks through his website, a buzz-building initiative he dubbed “G.O.O.D. Fridays” for his label imprint, Getting Out Our Dreams Music. The producer-turned-rapper said that after “Fantasy” — recorded in Hawaii with the likes of Q-Tip and Pete Rock — he will release an album of songs with Jay-Z and another with Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams under the name Child Rebel Soldiers.

Shooting to begin on ‘The Hobbit’ By The Associated Press

T’S TIME AGAIN TO IPeter celebrate Middle Earth. Jackson is set to

direct “The Hobbit,” the two-part prequel to the popular “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, with shooting starting in February, Warner Bros. said in a release on Friday. The movies, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, had been delayed by union issues and the ongoing restructuring of flailing Hollywood studio Metro-

Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., which owns half the project. Jackson, who directed the “Rings” trilogy, had originally hired Guillermo del Toro to direct, but del Toro left the project in May because of delays after working on the project for nearly two years. Jackson also co-wrote the screenplays with del Toro, his wife Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens. “Exploring Tolkien’s Middle Earth goes way beyond a normal filmmaking experi-

ence,” Jackson said in the statement. “We’re looking forward to re-entering this wondrous world with Gandalf and Bilbo.” The two movies will be shot back to back using digital 3-D cameras. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. had been criticized for hastily converting “Clash of the Titans” into 3-D after shooting it using regular cameras. The Time Warner Inc. subsidiary even canceled plans to bring “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”

to the screen in 3-D on Nov. 19 because it wasn’t able to complete the conversion process in time. The final “Harry Potter” installment will hit theaters in 3-D next July. In the statement, Jackson hinted at the importance of shooting the “Hobbit” movies in 3-D from the start. “It’s an all-immersive journey into a very special place of imagination, beauty and drama,” he said. No release dates for the movies was given.
