FROM THE EDITOR “The Book Thief” comes to theaters soon, and I can’t wait to see it. Since early September, a couple of friends and I have had plans to see it together — I even made a note in my planner those many weeks ago. I don’t go to the movies nearly often enough, and when the holiday season rolls around, I think that even more. Some of the best movies come out this

time of year. Last year, my family and I went to see “Les Miserables” and “The Guilt Trip” around Christmas; those are among my favorite memories from last winter. This year, as I mentioned, “The Book Thief” is on my must-see list. I read the book the summer of 2008, and look forward to seeing how it is adapted to the big screen, though I wish I had time to read the book again before I watch the film. Also on my must-see movie list is “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.” I am reading “The Hobbit” now and am nearly finished. I’ve

enjoyed the book a lot more than I thought I would, and as I near the end of it, I am getting anxious to see the first film and, once it is in theaters, the second one. Aaron Peck, who reviews movies for Cache Magazine, has put together a preview of 13 movies you can see this holiday season. Some of the films he highlights are “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Saving Mr. Banks” and “Frozen.” To read more, turn to Page 7. — Arie Kirk

all mixed up Preston High presents ‘Shrek’ musical By Rodney D. Boam Preston Citizen

The Preston High School fall production this year is “Shrek The Musical.” The thing about doing a play like “Shrek” is you need a dragon. “It’s pretty intense, normally only really big places use a dragon,” director Kimberly Hobbs said. “We checked around and it would cost as much as $3,000 to rent dragon robot.” So Hobbs went to Eric Allred the electronics teacher at the high school and the adviser of the robotics club. “They wanted a dragon, but it was already rented out. So they asked if we could make one,” Allred said. “It’s been a lot fun, the students and those who have seen it have a great deal of enthusiasm for the project.” Allred and his students Riley Palmer, Sean Byington and Keziah Holt have put a lot of hours making the mechanical parts of the dragon. The frame is built with metal tubing, then ropes, hinges and pulleys help give it life. The creature has wings that move with eyelashes that move up and down. So far Allred said it has cost $150 and taken about 20

grows. “We are working with prosthetics as well and have brought Dalton Maughn in just to do that,” Hobbs said. “It will be fun for audiences of every age to watch.” Be prepared to laugh, the director said. The cast has some of the best comedic performances she has seen from Preston. “The production is funny and touching as well. It’s truly of the funniest scripts I have ever read,” Hobbs said. “This is a huge show to take on and requires a lot of time and money to support it, and we hope the community will rally behind us and help support the arts.” This has been a huge challenge for students and faculty who helped put the show together. Hobbs said the only “Shrek The Musical” is Preston High School’s fall production. The show runs Nov. 15, 16, 19 and 20.

Create and explore the ceramic art form. Registration is now open for the Holiday Ceramics Classes. New this season, Cache Valley Center for the Arts will be opening up the ever-popular holiday classes for children and teens. CVCA offers ceramics classes for all ages and abilities yearround. Typically the winter season is when we all want to hunker down and stay busy, and ceramics are the perfect distraction. Each holiday class meets four times over the course of four weeks. The Adult & Teen Holiday Class meet Mondays (Nov. 18, 25, Dec. 2 and 9). Children classes start Tuesday, Nov. 19, and run weekly through Dec. 10. A ceramics class is a great way to get into the gift-giving season by creating a hand-made piece of art. For class times and details, visit Cache Valley Center for the Arts online at www.cachearts.org. If you are thinking about what to do post holidays, consider giving the gift of ceramics. A class at the center is a gift that your child or loved one will always remember. Ceramics classes are a fun way for children and adults to explore different pottery techniques from hand-building to

wheel throwing essentials. Ceramic classes are a great winter activity in addition to providing the perfect opportunity to get your hands dirty. Enrich your child’s life with clay! CVCA offers 10-week classes for kids ages 5-12 starting Tuesday, Jan. 7-March 20. Registration for the class is $106 and includes materials. Ceramics classes are offered every season so if scheduling is tricky, the spring session starts back up the end of March. Pre-Teen and Teen classes start Jan. 6 and run through March 17. Teens learn basic and intermediate wheel throwing techniques and have the pleasure of making ceramic artwork both on the potter’s wheel and using hand-building techniques. This class is perfect for ages 11-18 years old (or with instructor’s permission). This class is offered every Monday from 3:45 to 5:15 or 5:30 to 7 p.m. Registration for all 10 weeks is only $106 and includes firing and 25 pounds of clay.

The summer movie season gets all the buzz with its superheroes and outlandish budgets. Every weekend a new comic book-sourced movie is being released, fanboys go wild, the box office cracks under the pressure of all that cash, and then we’re on to the next one. The summer movie season is the rat race of moviegoing. See as much as you can, on the biggest screens possible, with the most 3D glasses you can fit on your face. It’s all about more, more, more. That’s why I like the holiday movie season. It never gets as much lead-up hoopla as summer, but it’s just as necessary to the moviegoing year — more important even. The holiday season has a great mix of big-budget franchises and lesserknown Oscar hopefuls. It’s a wonderful time of year. So, to get us started on the impending holiday movie season, let’s take a look at the movies hitting theaters this year. November 22 “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” The Gist: The first one was a gigantic hit, and this one will be too. Fans of the books will flock to the theaters hoping to see Katniss kill a whole bunch of people with well-placed arrows. Director Gary Ross is out and Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”) is in. Here’s hoping that Lawrence ditches the nauseating shaky-cam and opts for a steadier approach to filming this movie. The Verdict: It doesn’t

The plot of “Delivery Man” asserts that Vaughn’s character, having donated sperm to a sperm bank years ago, is now the father of more than 500 children because of an internal snafu. For those that don’t know, this is a remake of foreign film called “Starbuck.” Why they felt the need to up the kids from 142 to 533 is a mystery.

‘Magic Theatre’ Cast brings imagination to the stage in Unicorn Pillow Theatre production

ant to go to a magic land? There’s a pretty simple way to make the trip, and a group of youths are sharing the secret. Well, they will be at least two more times on Saturday in the Unicorn Room of the Bullen Center. With a cast of 17, the Unicorn Pillow Theatre is currently performing “Magic Theatre” at the Bullen Center on 43 S. Main St. in Logan. The two shows remaining will be performed at 2 and 4 p.m. Saturday. Cost is $3. “I thought last week was tremendous,” said R. Giselle Call, the director. “Live theater is always interesting. Sometimes certain things happen, but it is part of it.” Unicorn Pillow Theatre has been around in different forms since 1965 and was the brainchild of Ruth Burleigh

Call. It was created to give children from preschool through high school a chance to perform. Pillow Theatre shows are approximately 30 minutes long and performed by children to audiences of children and parents who sit on the floor with pillows and become part of the experience. Theater etiquette is also taught. “They all say they want to act on a big stage,” R. Giselle Call said. “The quality of what they are doing and with what little space and items we have, I think is tremendous.” This fall’s production is “Magic Theatre,” which is about the joys and dilemmas children face. It also teaches children how to reach the magic land. “I think it is really good to go and have adventures and have fun and do things that use your imagination,” said Lauren Johnson, the 9-year-old daughter of Travis and Amy Johnson of

Logan. “Having an imagination is really important.” That’s right, the secret is using your imagination. Throughout the show, which includes seven stories, one is encouraged to use his or her imagination. With limited props, it definitely takes a lot of effort from the youth. They are up to the task. And several members of the cast have taken it even a step further by coming up with a new vocabulary. The group of Sarah Anderson, Diana Anderson, Josh Greer and Michaela Sibal use the word “tiggle,” which they admit is just made up, but it became part of the play. Once again imagination coming into play. “We brainstorm to come up with ideas for scripts, sometimes suggested by the children,” R. Giselle Call said. “After the ending of a show, we ask them what shows they would like to be a part of. That helps with their inter-

ests.” Ten-year-old Dani Nielsen, the daughter of Tim and Katie Jo Nielsen of Logan, has been acting for five years. Her mother acted, while her father was into music. She credits her abilities to her parents. “I really like acting, and I’m very interested in music,” said Dani, who has played Helen Keller and Piglet. “I guess I like to be in the limelight a little bit and to be able to act out my feelings.” To get into character, Dani decides what that character should be like and then pictures that in her mind, whether it be “an old, ornery man” or “a little girl at the age of 3.” And her take on using your imagination? “It’s very important, so you can have a childhood and have happiness,” Dani said. “And maybe even get involved in acting when they are older. It helps cre-

ate much more of an imagination and helps them get through life.” Lauren played Silly Detector with Dani, which allowed them to use their imagination and just have fun. Other characters are more difficult, like when Lauren pretends to ride a skateboard in the “Yes, No, Maybe” story. “That was kind of complicated for me, because I’ve never ridden a skateboard before,” Lauren said. “I practiced a lot and taught myself how to push and ride a fake skateboard.” In some of the other stories, Lauren went through some different motions to figure out what was best for a dream scene. She has been with the Unicorn Pillow Theatre for two-and-a-half years, so she is learning how to overcome complicated roles. Paige Fargo, the 11-year-old daughter See MAGIC on Page 12

‘Magic Theatre’ Cast brings imagination to the stage in Unicorn Pillow Theatre production

Some people count miles, I count dogs. I find exercise, especially bike riding, to be an excruciating use of time that is sometimes compressed to a fast spinning clock and other times seemingly lasting longer than a retirement-planning seminar. To break the monotony lately I have been noticing dogs and rewriting the famous Beat anthems such as “The Howl” and “On the Road” in my head. Hey, it is no crazier than anything Lance Armstrong has done. I only offer my apologies to all the liberal arts majors who will hate this, and all the science majors who I lost in the last sentence.

I saw the best dogs of my generation destroyed by madness, puppy mills breeding cash instead of loyal pets some not fixed, The dogs that we love, the dogs that compensate for our withered souls, Hipster French Bulldogs in tight sweaters and REI leashes, Meaty mastiffs and Rottweilers dragging muscled masters in an offbeat synchronicity, Poodles and Doodles, Puggles, Goldendoodles and all manner of mishmash machinations of the myriad of the canine genome, They howl in horror. Dogs! whose genetic code we have molded to resemble our best imagined selves, Dogs! Grey-muzzled minis angry beyond their stature, Dogs! Lazy labs laying flat in the sun; solar soaking by

Agile farm dogs clinging to the backs of trucks with their un-cloven feet, Wiener dogs walked by old men on 8th West, Imperial walker Dane dogs so great they can steal cupcakes from the tops of refrigerators, Mixed breeds ready to fetch with no one to throw and herders without a herd to herd. I felt their spirits but kept riding. I saw the wind-blown expanding their surface jowly dog faces out the area, window of mini vans, Tiny nippers longing to I saw packs of pugs be large, snorting their way down White socked boxers the sidewalks wriggling with pouting faces, through their wrinkled Shaggy slobbering bodies, behemoths longing to be I stopped but still lap dogs, dreamt of dogs that sniff Slave-to-their-noses out drugs and bombs and beagle dogs chasing crotches, unseen scents, Robert Wegman wei-

Book about regional quilting now available Publication includes area’s history of quilting and profiles of local quilters The Bear River Heritage Area is pleased to announce the completion of a book on the history of quilting and contemporary quilting practices in the seven counties of the region: Box Elder, Cache and Rich in Utah, and Oneida, Franklin, Caribou and Bear Lake in Idaho. The 62-page booklet, “It’s Been Fun, Girls. Carry On: Quilting as a Heritage Art in Northern Utah and South-

eastern Idaho” takes its name from the last words of wellloved Cache Valley quilter Millie Olmstead, who died in 2012. It includes a brief history of quilting in the region, 17 profiles of local quilters, several highlighted quilts, a quilt glossary, a list of quilt shops and a list of further reading and resources.

day in his studio. Russell said he had another outstanding art teacher, Maurice Wiberg. Russell’s early accomplishments included winning the Masters Award in painting at the annual Utah All-State High School Art Show at the Springville Museum of Art. Upon graduation from Utah State University in 1990, Russell decided to paint full time with the support of his wife, Susanne. He began this phase of his career working with oils instead of watercolors because he learned the medium is easier, more responsive and fun after completing a two-month painting program in Arizona. His oils attracted the attention of Salt Lake City art dealer Paul Bingham at a Maynard Dixon Country show, and he purchased every one of them. Bingham also introduced Russell to art dealers in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Santa Fe, N.M., which propelled his career. His paintings also attracted the attention of Salt Lake residents Dr. Mike Edson, an art collector, and his wife, Karen. Russell credits Edson as a major factor in his success because of his unwavering support. Garry Case’s creative instincts surfaced at an early age. He remembers “doodling and sketching” at Maeser Elementary School in Vernal when he should have been

Continued from Page 6 intrigued by the medium. Russell asked his father to set up a watercolor palette for him. 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. Russell was a senior in high school when his parents moved to Hyrum. One room in the house was designated an art studio for Russell. He enrolled in a work study program in the visual arts at Mountain Crest High School and painted two hours every

Garry graduated with a composite art major. He completed course work on a Master of Fine Arts degree at USU while working part time in the art department at the Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City. This teaching experience led to a position with a new Bureau of Indian Affairs organization which was just established on the campus at the Indian school. After 20 years working as a Visual Information Specialist for the National Indian Training Center, he retired from the BIA and spent seven years as a technical artist for Thiokol Corporation. After a career in commercial art, Garry took a 20-year hiatus from painting, then picked up his brush again while living on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts in the West Indies. The artist says he has always liked to paint water, whether it’s running peacefully through the landscape or running wildly. He attributes this interest to fishing trips with his dad, brother and sons. Garry’s paintings “River on the Tin Cup,” “Along the Riffles” and “Mountain Stream” are in the exhibition. He says, “I’m very honored that Russell has let me show my work with his.”

Books Flannery O’Connor prayer journal published By Kevin Begos Associated Press

Flannery O’Connor’s “A Prayer Journal” is a moving glimpse of a young writer seeking to balance her art with her faith. In 1946, O’Connor began writing the prayers in a common black-and-white schoolbook, when she was 21 and studying in Iowa. At the time she was just beginning to perfect her craft, but the journal shows the same sense of humor, tragedy and suffering that would distinguish her later American masterpieces such as “Wise Blood,” “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and “The Violent Bear It Away.” In real life, O’Connor could mix a polite, reserved Southern demeanor with almost brutal frankness, and the entries that begin with the words “Dear God” are no different. “Hell seems a great deal more feasible to my weak mind than heaven,” she writes in one. “I can fancy the tortures of the damned but I can-

If we could accurately map heaven some of our up&-coming scientists would begin drawing blueprints for its improvement, and the bourgeois would sell guides 10c the copy to all over 65.” But O’Connor is hard on herself, too — as a person and as an artist. Reflecting on her lack of charity to another writer, she laments her own

Continued from Page 7 know how to write and direct movies. They know how to get the most out of their actors. Even if the brief synopsis of “Inside Llewyn Davis” is, “A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961,” you’re still interested to see what it’s all about. The Verdict: It’s the Coen brothers. That’s all you need to know. Go see it! December 13 “The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug” The Gist: 169 minutes later, the first “Hobbit” movie finally reached its conclusion. Well, it wasn’t really a conclusion, just a cliffhanger for the next movie. By the time we’re finished with “Hobbit” films, people will be able to pick up the book and read it faster than the time it would take to finish all three movies. Bilbo and his band of dwarves finally reached the castle and now have to face the dreaded Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch). It’s certain to be filled with just as much filler as the first movie, so there’s that. The Verdict: You have to see “The Hobbit,” right? Even though you know going into it it’s going to be about 45 minutes too long for its own good. December 20 “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” The Gist: Everyone loves “Anchorman.” They still quote it. It became an instant classic. A sequel was predestined.

Then add to it that Emma Thompson plays author of “Mary Poppins” P.L. Travers, and well, just take my money.
