FROM THE EDITOR Glen A. Larson passed away last Friday at the age of 77. While that name might not mean much to most people, Larson was a prolific writer and producer who was involved with numerous TV shows from the 1970s and ’80s. “Magnum, P.I.” was probably the biggest hit he was involved with, but he was also attached to “Knight Rider,” “The Six Million Dollar Man,” “Quincy, M.E.,” “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” and “The Fall Guy.” Then there was “Battlestar Galactica” — a short-lived, but much-beloved space series that lasted just one season in 1978-
79. But it just so happened that “Battlestar” hit at the perfect time for my older brother and our friends and me while we were growing up. And as I documented last year when I had a chance to meet Starbuck (Dirk Benedict) and Apollo (Richard Hatch) last year at Salt Lake Comic Con, “Battlestar” ended up being a big part of my childhood. But beyond being fascinated by the special effects and thrilled with the adventures of fighter pilots/cowboys in space, there was the fact that Larson, like us, was LDS, and he incorporated little bits and pieces of Mormon theology and culture into “Battlestar Galactica.” It felt like an inside joke that the show featured a council of the twelve, referred to marriages as sealings and often spoke of Kobol, which was referred to as “The Lost
Planet of the Ancient Gods.” (I’m also pretty sure the brutal sport of Triad was based on church basketball, except they at least got to wear pads on “Battlestar.”) Originally, the show was going to be called “Adam’s Ark,” and there was definitely a Noah/Moses feel to the series. It was also reminiscent of the pioneers crossing the country on the way to settling in Utah. From 2004-09, “Battlestar” was brought back to life on the Sci-Fi Channel, and while it was successful, Larson wasn’t involved and it certainly wasn’t something my mom would have let me watch when I was 9 years old. So, what I’m left with is 24 classic episodes of “Battlestar” that will still put a smile on my face many yahrens ... ‘er ... years ... after Glen A. Larson left this world. — Jeff Hunter
‘Voice of Ragnar’ looks to deliver laughs Saturday Cache Valley Comedy is excited to bring the very funny comedian and extraordinarily nice person, Steve Soelberg to perform two shows on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Dansante Building. Soelberg will take the stage at 7 and 9 p.m. at 59 S. 100 West. Tickets are $10 at the door. Seating is limited; arriving 15-20 minutes early is recommended. Visit cachevalleycomedy.com for more information. Many may already know Soelberg as the funny, upbeat race announcer and emcee for the Ragnar Relay Race series. Participants of the Ragnar relays now have the opportunity to better get to know “The Voice of Ragnar,” and experience even more of the friendly, uplifting enthusiasm he has an all but endless supply of. Soelberg grew up in a large family in Seattle, ran competitively in college and later attended BYU-Hawaii, graduating with a degree in biology. He then came to Utah, which has served as home base for both comedy and race announcing ever since. Before he began performing full time as a stand-up comedian and race announcer, he also worked as an Air Med dispatcher at the University of Utah hospital. Soelberg is a great storyteller. His observational, storytelling style of comedy and his considerate, personable demeanor feels as if it were tailormade for Cache Valley. Whether it’s visiting a house inhabited by hoarders and cats with his dad, dealing with emergency room patients with unconventional emergencies or recounting the time he saw an angry guy in a tutu at a Ragnar relay, he has a way of making each audience member feel as

all mixed up ‘Curtains’ ready to open at Logan High Logan High School will present “Curtains” — a musical whodunit — at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21-22 and 24-25 in the Logan High School Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting loganschools.org and going to the student or parent/community link and finding musical tickets. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and children for online reserved seating. For general admission, tickets are $6 for adults and
$5 for students and children. Tickets are slightly more when purchased at the door. Based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, the musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots. Set in Boston in 1959, “Curtains” unfolds backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, where the new musical, “Robbin’ Hood” could be a Broadway smash were it not for the presence of its untalented can’t sing, act, or dance (or leading lady, Jessica Cranshaw. remember when to say her lines). To the relief of every She is a triple threat: she
one, she is murdered during her opening night curtain call. The entire company comes under suspicion, and Lt. Frank Cioffi of the Boston Police Department is called in to solve the homicide. But the lure of the theater proves irresistible for the police detective, amateur actor and musical theater fan and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn towards making the show a hit, as he is in solving the
murder. Can Cioffi solve the case, save the show and get the girl before the curtain rises without getting offed himself? This is a musical, after all! “Curtains” opened on Broadway in 2007 with a very funny book by Rupert Holmes and a score that is “catchier than pink-eye” with lyrics by Fred Ebb and music by John Kander with additional lyrics by Kander and Holmes. It is a show that will have you humming all the way home.

Trio of top actors shines ‘Dumb’ sequel tops box office in ‘riveting’ ‘Foxcatcher’ Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer
Let’s start with a plea. You may already know the story of the Schultz brothers, Dave and Mark, both goldmedal Olympic wrestlers, and their stormy relationship with their wrestling-obsessed benefactor, John DuPont. If you don’t, it’s only a click away on Wikipedia. But — here’s that plea — do not click! Sit on your hands. And watch Bennett Miller’s brooding, gloomy yet altogether riveting “Foxcatcher”

NEW YORK (AP) — At the movies, idiocy never goes out of style. Twenty years after the 1994 original, “Dumb and Dumber To” opened with $38.1 million at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal sequel debuted almost exactly two decades after the Farrelly brothers first introduced the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels low-IQ duo. “Dumb and Dumber To” edged out the animated Disney adventure “Big Hero 6,” which took in $36 million in its second week. Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic “Interstellar” slid to third in its second week with an estimated $29.2 million. The film continues to blast off overseas, where it took in $106 million over the weekend, with sales particularly boosted by a strong opening in China. The top three films took up the lion share of the box office, with the no. 4 film, the romance “Beyond the Lights,” opening with a distant $6.5 million. In a Hollywood constantly updating,
rebooting and sequalizing old properties, “Dumb and Dumber To” was still unique. In between installments, there was also a 2003 prequel, though it was made with different actors and wasn’t directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly. “This was a gamble,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “Cinematic history is littered with long-lead sequels that just haven’t worked.” “It’s always a risky move to wait this long, but in this case, the casting of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels really made a difference,” he added. Most delayed sequels — “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” ‘’Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” — depend on the addition of a new, younger star like Shia LaBeouf. The closest comparison to “Dumb and Dumber To” might be 1998’s “Blues Brothers 2000,” made 18 years after the original. But with John Goodman stepping in for John Belushi, it opened with just $6.1 million.

Gone is the gladiator carnage of the first two “Hunger Games” movies. In “Mockingjay – Part 1” we’re flung head first into the frothing revolution of Panem. The people are primed to rise up against the Capitol; all they need is a little push. That push comes in the form of a propaganda war that is far more interesting than the war itself — a comment on how media permeates and influences us. How we, as people, so often fall for slickly produced agenda-driven indoctrination as long as it’s provided to us on a bright, pulsing TV screen. How people crave icons to revere, mottos to repeat and groups of like-minded citizens to scream and die with. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has become the unwilling face of the revolution. An iconic image to plaster on rebellion propaganda. An ideal that the population can rally behind. Her puppet masters, Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore), appear utterly unsympathetic towards her as an individual. All effort is focused on crafting a message to rally the other districts to lead a revolution against the oppressive President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and his Capitol cronies. It’s an interesting dichotomy happening, since the rebellion is obviously working toward some

She’s certainly grown into the role, which makes her performance here exciting to watch since she’s not confined to running around a jungle killing other kids. With less stuff to kill, Katniss is asked to deal with more adult situations. She comes face to face with the realities of war and revolution. An idea that sounds idyllic on its surface, however, its pathway is paved in the bones and blood of those fighting on the front lines. The “Part 1” in the title should be an unmistakable clue that this only represents half a story. It doesn’t diminish the effectiveness of the tale, however. While it feels needlessly cliffhanger-y, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1” is every bit as good – if not better – than its predecessors.

Revolution gathering in ‘Mockingjay’
DIVERGENT livers A de ‘SURF SPRAY’
fter about a decade of studying and then teaching jazz performance elsewhere, Josh and Kate Skinner are back in Cache Valley, and they’re eager to start making connections in the local scene. On Tuesday, the married couple that leads the Divergent jazz quartet played two sets at Logan venue Why Sound to mark the release of their new album, “Surf Spray.” “It’s a nice listening room,” says Josh, who plays bass. “There’s not like a big stage that separates us from our audience. It’s very intimate — we can pack the room. And everyone can enjoy it.” Kate, the band’s pianist and vocalist, adds that they chose Why Sound to help them form ties within the community, as well. “And being new in town, we want to support local venues and kind of start a relationship with the guys at Why Sound so that we can do more stuff there,” she says. While this is the Skinners’ first semester as adjunct instructors at USU teaching jazz performance and theory, it isn’t their first time living in the area. The couple met while studying music as undergraduates at Utah State. Josh was raised in Logan, and Kate is originally from Ogden. Since then, they’ve pursued graduate studies at the University of Northern Colorado and taught at BYU-Idaho. They’ve performed in many bands and ensembles, both together and separately. Their last collaborative album was more of a hiphop R&B style, Josh says, and their desire to work on a jazz record was the impetus for “Surf Spray.” Kate describes “Surf Spray” as “an acoustic, straight-ahead jazz album.” Kate wrote roughly half of the album’s 10 tracks and arranged most of the others, which include jazz standards such as “Our Love Is Here To Stay” and “But Not For Me.” The first track on the album, however, doesn’t fit into either of those categories. “We were kind of heavily influenced by ’80s music, and we totally dug A-ha’s ‘Take On Me,’” Josh says. “And so we took that and kind of transformed it — she transformed it — did a great arrangement of it to kind of reflect our art moderne take on it.” Facing page: Divergent, featuring Kate Skinner (keyboards, vocals) and Josh Skinner (bass), played at Why Sound Tuesday night with Jonathan Campbell (saxophone) and Steve Lyman (drums).
CATCH THE ‘SPRAY’ “Surf Spray” by Divergent is available for order at squareup.com/market/skinny squaredmusic/divergent-surf-spray. The band plans to release the album on iTunes and Amazon Digital Music on Dec. 9.
The track may help the record accomplish another one of the Skinners’ goals. As Kate explains, they wanted to make “Surf Spray” accessible to listeners. “Sometimes jazz gets so intellectual that it’s way over everybody’s heads,” Kate says. “And so we wanted to record some jazz that can be intellectual too, but also just feels good, and it grooves.” Joining the Skinners on “Surf Spray” is Vern Sielert, a professor at the University of Idaho, on trumpet. Chris Smith, a longtime friend of the Skinners, plays drums on the album. Smith currently plays in New York and is a first-call sub for the Village Vanguard. While working on “Surf Spray” over the course of a year, the Skinners wanted to keep a live feel in the album’s sound. Each of the tracks on the album was recorded as a full take, as opposed to a multi-track approach. In multi-track recording, the instruments are generally recorded separately in multiple takes, and afterward the best performances are combined to build the finished recording. In
contrast, “Surf Spray” follows the jazz tradition of recording each song as a full band without splicing performances together afterward. “We wanted it to sound like we sound on a gig,” Kate says. “So what you hear on the record is what we all played in the moment.” While using only full takes when recording an album puts more pressure on the musicians to get it right the first time, the Skinners are quick to point out its advantages. Because jazz emphasizes a musician’s individual expression and ability to improvise, a performance becomes less about reading music and more about reading yourself and your bandmates. “I don’t think it’s any different than us playing a live performance anywhere else,” Josh says. “I want to be able to express what I’m thinking or feeling, or respond to what I hear (Kate) play, or what I hear somebody else in band the play.” That kind of interaction isn’t new to the Skinners. They’ve been performing together for about 13 years now, and sharing such a strong common interest is good for the relationship, but it’s not quite the fairy-tale situation others often see it as. “I think a lot of people think, ‘How romantic! It’s so cute that you get to play together,’” Kate says. “And it’s totally awesome, but I think we met because of music, but that wasn’t how we fell in love. It was everything else about (each other) that made us be good together.” Josh says he feels others think they must play music together constantly — but someone still has to mow the lawn, and someone has to clean the house. “We’ve got so many things to do,” Josh says. It’s not that we don’t enjoy playing music together — we obviously do, but we’re just regular people.” Kate says sometimes playing music together can just be another thing to argue about.

Owen writes follow-up to ‘No Easy Day’ By Carolyn Lessard Associated Press
Mark Owen, a pseudonym for former U.S. Navy SEAL team member Matt Bissonnette, caused a stir with “No Easy Day,” his firsthand account of a mission in Pakistan in 2011 that resulted in Osama bin Laden’s death because he didn’t get the book cleared by the Defense Department before pubof a Navy SEAL,” Owen lication. In his follow-up, “No goes through the proper channels, detailing his Hero: The Evolution
journey as a member of SEAL Team Six (minus the Osama bin Laden mission). A few sections of the book were redacted. Owen reveals few details about his life before and after the military. He skims over his childhood: He’s the son of missionaries, grew up in a remote village in Alaska, loved to hunt, bought his first assault rifle from a history teacher and always dreamed of becoming a SEAL. To become part of this elite fighting force, Owen had to learn how to swim
and face an intense fear of heights. Facing your fears, pushing beyond your limits, working as a team member and learning from mistakes are part of the SEAL philosophy. He expresses frustration with a restrictive bureaucracy and the changes in the rules of engagement, which he says hampered his efforts to get the job done. But he steers clear of politics and criticism of the current administration, perhaps a lesson

Day Continued from Page 11 he learned from his first book. “No Hero” is filled with stories from Owen’s various missions. Some are unique and provide useful lessons, while oth-
ers seem redundant. He offers only a few pages about his post-military life, skimming over important issues like combat stress and his re-entry into civilian life. These omissions make the book seem unbalanced. Owen’s writing is genuine and insightful. He

may be blunt, even crude at times, but he doesn’t brag or preach. He recounts his experiences and explains the lessons he learned from them. “No Hero” may have been intended for the next generation of SEALs, but the book’s lessons can also be useful to civilians.
Soelberg’s positive, upbeat personality paired with his observational, often self-deprecating humor and his ability to appeal to a broad audience guarantees his Cache Valley shows will be a hilarious and memorable experience for all those who attend. Both shows will be rated PG, but will probably be most enjoyed by those 10-12 years old and over. Also appearing on the show will be Highland Elementary School’s fourththrough sixth-grade storytelling champion, 11-year-old Ira Kent Roper.

Yet even more than his face, it’s Carell’s voice — high, tinny, and frighteningly odd — that lingers in our heads after the credits roll. Though ultimately a three-person tragedy, “Foxcatcher” begins as the story of one: Mark Schultz, the younger, brawnier brother, thoroughly embodied by Channing Tatum in a thrillingly physical performance.

Dejected and overweight at Olympic trials, he destroys his hotel room in a tantrum, then almost destroys his body in a massive binge on room-service food. Only Dave can get him back on track. Miller, who illustrated the highs and lows of baseball so well in “Moneyball,” is equally adept at portraying the peculiarities of wrestling here, and how those physical moves — beautifully choreographed and executed — sync with deeper psychological currents.

But DuPont proves highly erratic, veering from gestures of generosity to fits of venom. He shoots bullets into the ceiling of the wrestling gym. He purchases a military tank complete with machine gun. He plies Mark with cocaine, and lures him to private wrestling bouts, just the two of them, in the middle of the night. As Mark flounders, Dave agrees to come on board; even the solid brother, it appears, can be had for a price. Mark

Max Frye: A painfully uncomfortable, inarticulate Schultz listens as DuPont utters staccato bursts of mumbo jumbo. “I’m a wrestling coach.” ‘’I’m an ornithologist.” ‘’I’m a patriot.” To Mark, it means one thing: A place to live and train. DuPont also wants the older Schultz, but the sunnier, more stable Dave (a vital and appealing Mark Ruffalo) is settled with a wife and two kids, and has no intention of moving. “You can’t buy Dave,” Mark explains.

years after his 1984 gold medal in Los Angeles, Mark is down on his luck, eating instant Ramen noodles at night and living on $20 gigs showing his medal to schoolkids. Suddenly a call comes from Foxcatcher Farm, the sprawling Pennsylvania estate where DuPont, heir to the storied gunpowder (and later, chemical) fortune, lives with his elderly mother (the formidable Vanessa Redgrave, making the most of a few lines and some supremely icy looks). Mark is whisked by helicopter into a lifestyle he can’t refuse: being coached and owned, essentially, by DuPont. Their first meeting,

to the needy in the world in honor of our loved ones. Alternative Gift Markets are a concept of Alternative Gifts International, which is a nonprofit organization that inspires support for such causes by offering donors the option to donate charitable gifts through carefully selected nonprofit agencies in the name of their relatives, friends and associates. The concept began in the early 1980s and has grown throughout the country. AGI’s main office in Wichita, Kansas, employs just four people, but raises at least $1 million each year in this grassroots approach to fundraising. They operate year-round on a 10 percent share of the gifts purchased and re-distribute and monitor them through more than 60 other humanitarian and environmental nonprofit organizations. Alternative Gifts International has benefitted local organizations as well, including the Cache Community Food Pantry, through grants offered to communities where markets are active. If you can’t make it to the market, you can use the website at alternativegifts.org to order directly, or visit Global Village Gifts, which will be accepting orders through the holidays.

performing the finest in wind literature, both old and new,” Rohrer says. “The concert annually has featured small chamber ensembles, as well. This fall’s concert includes music of somewhat local interest, beginning with ‘Air for Winds’ by Melvin Shelton, director of bands emeritus at Boise State University. Also featured is ‘Polly Oliver’ by Thomas Root, the overture to Mozart’s ‘The Marriage of Figaro,’ ‘Masque’ by W. Fran-
cis McBeth and ‘Crazy Quilt’ by Cecil Karrick.” “Polly Oliver” was composed in 1977 by a young Thomas Root, longtime director of bands at Weber State University, Rohrer says. Based on the English folk song of the same name, the tune is one of the best known of a number of folk songs describing women disguising themselves as men to join the army to stay with their husbands or boyfriends.
“Composed originally in 1786, the ‘Marriage of Figaro’ is arguably the most comedic of Mozart’s operas,” Rohrer says. “Also including political and psychological overtones, the opera depicts a conniving nobleman defeated in an ongoing battle of wits with his wife and servants. A fiery one-movement work, ‘Masque’ was commissioned by the University of Central Arkansas for the opening of its new arts auditorium in
1968.” Concluding the program is “Crazy Quilt,” written by Cecil Karrick, director of bands at Bowling Green High School in Kentucky for over two decades. The work was composed during his retirement years and used when he served as a substitute teacher in that community until well into his 80s. The USU performance is dedicated to the composer, who died in spring 2014 at the age of 95.
