From the editor

O

ne of the best dreams I’ve had in recent years included me hanging out with the season 7 contestants of American Idol. I know my coworkers will make fun of me for this, and you may too. But at the time I kept waking up and going back to sleep hoping I could finish it.

In the dream I was guaranteed a spot in the “top 12” and got to hang out at cool restaurants in California and practice for the judges. Simon loved me.

In real life, however, I’ve only sang in public once and will probably never do it again. It was a few summers ago when a friend of mine talked me into performing a few songs I’d written at Citrus and Sage.

Cypress String Quartet performing next week ‘Sucker Punch’ nothing to be excited about

mnewbold@hjnews.com

It was scary, and it didn’t help that no matter what we did, the microphone was either too loud, or the piano drowned me out. As much as I think it would be cool to be on stage, I was made to be in the crowd. I don’t even want to know what Simon would have thought of me in real life.

I do think it’s great though, that local businesses in the valley allow people to perform. At Logan Arthouse and Cinema, people are invited to participate in open mic night every Wednesday; at Citrus and Sage it’s every Thursday.

USU hosts poetry and a beverage every month and I know there are local restaurants that also provide people with opportunities to share their talents.

It seems that most people go just to have a good time, so if you ever decide to join in, don’t worry about being judged. Simon won’t be there.

Race is on for this year’s Young Artist Cup he Young Artist Cup Committee, in assoT ciation with the performing arts department at Mountain Crest High School, will present its 12th

annual Young Artist Cup Competition at 7 p.m. on March 31 and April 1 in the Mountain Crest Auditorium. The piano performances will be Thursday and the vocal and all-instrumental performances will be Friday. Admission is free and everyone is invited.

Students compete for cash prizes and trophies in six areas: graphic arts design, female vocalists, male vocalists, strings, brass/winds/percussion and piano.

This annual event showcases the musical talents of Mountain Crest students. Awards will be given to first-, second-, and third-place winners in each category.

As in years past, the logo for this year’s Young Artist Cup was selected from submissions by Mountain Crest students in a competition that was held earlier this year. The design of Sarah Patch was chosen to represent the 2011 Young Artist Cup. Patch will receive a trophy and cash prize for her work.

Past Young Artist Cup participants have gone on to excel in music and the performing arts and have toured with national and international performing groups.

Ensemble to perform Brazilian music with jazzy flair

A

n Evening in Brazil” is back to turn up the heat with some indoor spring entertainment Friday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. in USU’s Performance Hall.

The ensemble will perform music by Brazilian composers from the Bossa Nova movement with an emphasis on music by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The ensemble will explore Brazilian rhythms and music with a jazzy flair, said Michael Christiansen, USU’s director of the guitar studies program.

“The only thing this concert will be lacking is a drink with an umbrella in it,” said Christiansen.

Performers for the evening include Christiansen on guitar, Christopher Neale on guitar and vocals, Linda Ferreira Linford on vocals, Eric Nelson on saxophone

and clarinet, Lars Yorgason on bass, Jason Nicholson on drums and Don Keipp on percussion.

Neale is a professor of engineering at USU. He was born and raised in Brazil, has a classical guitar degree and appeared in last year’s concert. Joining Neale on vocals for the concert is USU vocal music major Linda Ferreira Linford, a native of New Jersey and of Brazilian heritage.

Nelson, who performs cross country with Christiansen as part of the Lightwood Duo, is a middle school band teacher in Cache Valley.

Yorgason is a bass player in Utah and has performed with a number of noted artists.

Nicholson is a new addition to the music faculty at USU. From North Carolina,

he was recently hired as the head of the percussion program for USU’s department of music.

Keipp rounds out the evening’s performers. He is professor of percussion at Weber State University.

The evening’s program includes a number of classic works by Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) the Grammy Award-winning Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, pianist and guitarist. A primary force behind the creation of the Bossa Nova style, his songs are performed by artists around the world.

The third annual “Evening in Brazil” is sponsored by USU’s Guitar Program in the Department of Music and the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University.

General admission tickets are $15 and student tickets are $8. Tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, FAC 139B, 435-797-8022, online at arts.usu.edu or at the door prior to the performance.

wo thousand dollars is up for grabs at the 2011 Fringe Film Festival, presented by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and the Logan Arthouse and Cinema.

Anyone over the age of 16 is invited to enter four-minute films based on the theme “Twitterpated: A Spring Love Comedy.” Entries are due April 1 and will be loaded onto the Caine College of the Arts youtube channel and at arts.usu.edu/fringe. From there they will be open to public viewing and voting, with the top two public choices going on to the festival which will take place April 15 at Logan Arthouse. Professional filmmakers will also judge the films and send their top two choices to the festival.

Courtney Lewis, who works with USU public relations and marketing, said in previous years organizers of the event have seen a wide variety of films and creativity which have included anything from mockumen-

taries, horror films and even superhero productions. The winner last year filmed a documentary about a kid’s favorite sports, snowboarding and surfing.

“We are excited to see what the entries are,” Lewis said, adding that she’s interested to see how each entry portrays humor and romance.

Lewis said last year the festival had more than 30 entries and organizers are expecting even more this year.

The festival has been advertised at various campuses in Utah and Idaho and Lewis said the goal is to eventually make the festival statewide, then nationwide.

The public is invited to the view all four top films, as decided by judges and public voting, April 15. Directors of the films will also spend time on stage explaining the creativity and process behind their films.

For more information including rules, regulations and the official entry form, visit arts.usu.edu/fringe. There is a $50 entry fee for all contestants.

Hollywood magician coming to Logan Robert Baxt, whose original comedy magic has been awarded top prizes in international competitions, will be giving a special performance for the public, followed by a private lecture for magicians only. The performance will be held at the historic Thatcher-Young Mansion in Logan, on Tuesday, March 29 at 7 p.m., and is suitable for family audiences. The private lecture for magicians only will immediately follow the performance, at approximately 8 p.m.

The cost of the performance only is just $5 per person, payable at the event.

The cost for magicians of the performance and lecture is just $20. According to deceptionist Richard Hatch, Baxt’s lecture in Logan is historic, being the first formal lecture by a professional magician to other magicians in Cache Valley.

“We hope this will be the first of many such lectures,” he said.

Tuesday’s event is hosted by the

Cache Valley Conjurers. Hatch and his wife, Rosemary Hatch, co-own the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music housed in the Thatcher-Young Mansion, 35 W. 100 South.

Gallery of paintings hang at Hyrum Library In an effort to display professional work by local artists, the Hyrum Library recently devoted a wall in the building to just that – local art.

The works were created by Trent Gudmundsen, Jerry Fuhriman, Robert Guy, Kristi Grussendorf and Colleen Howe. The artists are award winners living in Cache Valley, many of them with galleries throughout Utah and other states.

Scott Bushman, board member on the Hyrum Library Foundation, said the collection will be displayed until the summer, and then will be switched out for paintings by other artists.

Saturdays at the Museum presents archaeology hotographers P often leave it to their images to tell a story. In contrast, archaeologists usually don’t stray too far from a story reconstructed from ancient material remains.

Archaeology and photography combine in the next featured presentation at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology in its “Saturdays and the Museum Series.”

The March 26 presentation is based on the book “Traces of Fremont: Society and Rock Art in

Ancient Utah” by USU professor Steven Simms and featuring the spectacular photography of Francois Gohier.

In the Saturday presentation, the museum explores the intertwined paths of both photographer and archaeologist as Gohier’s photography explores and captures the nature of ancient Fremont society, religion and worldview.

More than a recitation of Fremont artifacts, rock art and culture history, Simms’ presentation draws attention to the nuances of a

long vanished culture, highlighting the strides archaeologists have made toward piecing together the many facets of Fremont life-ways. “Traces of Fremont” tells the story through Simms and Gohier’s collaboration.

In addition to the presentation, children will have a chance to create their own rock art in a museum activity. The museum is open for its normal operating hours Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Simms’s presentation begins at 1 p.m.

The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252.

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 MondayFriday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., 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.

Funding for Saturday events is provided by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available online (www.imls.gov).

For more information about this event, call museum staff at (435) 7977545 or visit the museum website (anthromuseum. usu.edu).

The Museum of Anthropology is part of the Anthropology Program at USU.

or 16 years the Chamber Music Society of Logan has provided opportunities for young musicians to expand their musical expertise, working directly with professional artists. The Cypress Quartet will be helping students hone their musical skills and build their appreciation for classical music. As a community outreach, these master classes are free and open to the public, middle school, high school and university students.

n Thursday, March 31, the Chamber Music Society of Logan will present the Cypress String Quartet at Utah State University’s Performance Hall.

Known for its elegant performances, the Cypress’s sound has been called “beautifully proportioned and powerful” by the Washington Post, and the ensemble has been singled out

by Chamber Music Magazine as “a Generation X ensemble to watch.”

The Cypress String Quartet formed in 1996 in San Francisco and during its first rehearsals together created a now-signature sound through intense readings of J.S. Bach’s Chorales. Built up from the bottom register of the quartet and layered like a pyramid, the resulting sound is clear and transparent, allowing the texture of the music to be discerned immediately.

Now, on top of a busy schedule of more than 90 concerts each year at venues across the U.S. and internationally, including major concert halls and series such as the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, Stanford Lively Arts, Krannert Center and Ravinia Festival, the Cypress String Quartet is a vibrant

Film Still playing

“Paul” Rated R ★★1⁄2 The title character of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s latest genre comedy is a sarcastic stoner steeped in pop culture and busting with well-timed, crude observations. In short, he is Seth Rogen. Though the CGI-created alien, who’s voiced by Rogen, has powers of healing and invisibility, his defining characteristics aren’t his exoticism, but his normalcy. He wears cargo shorts and digs Marvin Gaye. Two vacationing, unabashedly nerdy Brits, Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost), stumble upon Paul in their sci-fi-loving tour of Southwest America, from Comic-Con to Area 51. Trailing Paul are a handful of agents (Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Joe Lo Truglio), with a higher-up (sci-fi queen Sigourney Weaver) sending commands. It’s the first time Pegg and Frost, who also wrote the script, have set a film in America or worked with director Greg Mottola (“Superbad,” ‘’Adventureland”). The result is an interesting mix of British and American comedy (Kristen Wiig just about steals the movie) that mostly comes off amiably and consistently funny.

It does the same for science fiction as Pegg and Frost’s “Shaun of the Dead” did for zombie films and “Hot Fuzz” did for action flicks, but falls closer to mere spoof than something of its own. 104 minutes.

“The Lincoln Lawyer” Rated R ★1⁄2 Matthew McConaughey stars as a lawyer who drives around Los Angeles ... in a Lincoln. It has nothing to do with the capital of Nebraska or the former president. While you’re watching it, though, you’ll wish it did. Director Brad Furman’s film, which John Romano wrote based on the Michael Connelly novel, has the slick, disposable feel of the sort of legal drama you could find any night of the week on primetime TV. From the opening titles and underdeveloped characters to the quick pacing and flat lighting, “The Lincoln Lawyer” seems insubstantial, recycled and forgettable. McConaughey plays Mick Haller, a cocky, sleazy defense attorney who thinks he’s got it all figured out. But, because this is a McConaughey movie, his character will have his comeuppance, and it comes in the form of a high-profile case.

Beverly Hills real estate heir Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) is accused in the rape and attempted murder of a prostitute.

Louis insists he’s innocent, so it should be no problem. But this pretty boy is, naturally more dangerous than he looks.

Despite the many twists and turns, Mick actually ends up learning nothing and has no arc. Among the strong but woefully underused supporting cast are Marisa Tomei as “Battle: Los Angeles” PG-13 Mick’s ex-wife; William H. Rated ★1⁄2 Jonathan LiebeMacy as his best friend, sman’s disaster film a private investigator; doesn’t rely as much as and Bryan Cranston as others in the genre on a homicide detective the gleeful horror of seewhose screen time looks ing familiar landmarks suspiciously truncated. burn. Instead, this West 119 minutes.

Coast version of alien

rather be with the bad boy she loves than the good guy she’s been arranged to marry. She knows that Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), a hunky woodcutter, is wrong for her, but she longs to run away with him, rather than live a safe, comfortable life with Henry (Max Irons), a hunky blacksmith. Hardwicke depicts the tiny town where they live in haunted fashion, with scenery and lighting that often have a misty, ethereal, almost otherworldly glow. But then the set design feels super chintzy, like something you’d see in a theme park.

“Limitless” Rated PG-13 ★★★ Bradley Cooper shows he can truly act, truly command a screen — and not just swagger and preen — and his performance goes a long way toward making this sci-fi thriller more entertaining, and more plausible, than it probably should be. Cooper stars as Eddie Morra, a struggling and depressed New York writer who takes a magical pill called NZT that allows him to tap into his full potential. Suddenly, he’s not only pounding out chapters, he’s cleaning up, picking up new interests, learning new languages and wowing everyone he meets. More importantly and more realistically, he does the thing we’d all do with frighteningly expanded brain power: He turns it into a way to make millions of dollars. Fast. Direcinvasion distinguishes itself as an urban warfare film and a patriotic ad for the Marines. A dozen alien ships land on Earth — we only care about the one just off L.A. — and in the ensuing carnage, a platoon of Marines are sent into the fray with the seemingly inconsequential mission of rescuing a handful of civilians (Bridget Moynahan, Michael Pena).

The weary veteran Staff Sgt. Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) isn’t their lieutenant (Ramon Rodriguez), but he’s effectively their

tor Neil Burger, whose first feature was the intriguing “Interview With the Assassin” from 2002, moves the story forward with an infectious energy.

He probably didn’t need to rely on some of the visual tricks he employs, though — words dropping from the ceiling to indicate a break in Eddie’s writer’s block, or multiple Eddies accomplishing tasks around the house. Still, Cooper is surprisingly good as the shlubby, stubbly version of his character in the beginning, and as the wildly improved version of himself on NZT. Robert De Niro is quietly fierce (and does some of his best work in a while) as the financial guru who’s fascinated by Eddie, while Abbie Cornish probably doesn’t get enough to do as Eddie’s on-again, offagain girlfriend, who’s skeptical of the new him. 105 minutes.

leader in survival and Marine honor. The talented Eckhart and Liebesman manage to pull off the ultra-seriousness for much of the film, before a laughable speech of teary-eyed inspiration finally does them in.

“Red Riding Hood” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 This aims not for little girls who want to hear a fairy tale before they go to sleep at night, but rather for teenage girls who want a soapy melodrama full of angst and hair product — with

some supernatural flourishes thrown in. Does that sound vaguely familiar to you? It should.

“Red Riding Hood” suggests what it might look like if the kids from “Twilight” got dressed up and went to the Renaissance Faire. And that is not a good thing. Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the first “Twilight” movie, is working from a script by “Orphan” writer David Leslie Johnson, which takes this classic story and turns it into a medieval love triangle. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) would

“I Am Number Four” Rated PG-13 ★★ Great, another Chosen One. Director D.J. Caruso’s action tale “I Am Number Four” is mostly familiar stuff, presenting the latest teen outsider coming into possession of his latent superpowers just in time to battle evil forces intent on world chaos. While the filmmakers manage some entertaining fight sequences, they offer a standard-issue gang of heroes backed by a vague, unoriginal mythology about human-looking aliens finding refuge on Earth after their planet is destroyed. Alex Pettyfer has the title role, one of nine youths being hunted down by the destroyers of their own world before the kids develop genetically inherited abilities that could help them defeat the bad guys, who now aim to invade Earth.

One character notes that his upbringing was like an endless episode of “The X-Files,” but even weak installments of that show had more creepy chills and clever twists than this. 109 minutes.

arin Thompson, of Smithfield, has a confession to make.

He wants to get plastic surgery when he dies so that when family and friends come to his funeral, they will go, “Wow! Look at how young he was!”

The surgery, the occupational therapist at Logan Regional Hospital believes, would make them believe he died while having too much fun in life.

Thompson was joking, of course. Every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., people from all over the valley come to The Logan Arthouse Cinema to showcase what talent they have — or just test the waters — to the general public. The venue is one of a half dozen businesses in the valley to offer open mic night.

The first night Logan Arthouse hosted the event, there were no more than six people, said co-owner Jonathan Ribera; then 20 people came; then 40 people.

“People are starting to find out ... that this is not a scary place to perform,” Ribera said. “Open mic night is a way to practice — sometimes they’re magical and sometimes they’re miserable accidents. No matter how many people show up, we’re always laughing and doing something crazy.”

Ribera warned the crowd of 30 plus that they would have to keep their language G-rated: “If you want to say the F word, just say Mommy and Daddy are wrestling instead.”

And, Ribera said, there would be no Japan tsunami jokes because it’s “too soon.”

Thompson continued with his stand-up act late Wednesday night, stating that he was not born a Mormon. When he was a child, his parents warned that he’d better stop “smoking and drinking” because one day he would be converted into an LDS member. Thompson said he has noticed that people who aren’t Mormon tend to think “we’re straight up weird.” Thompson then rattled off ways to tell a Mormon from a non-Mormon.

“If you start every conversation with, ‘on my mission...,’ you might be a Mormon,” Thompson said.

If your parents do a headcount in the car before heading home and you’re left behind, you might be a Mormon. After all, if you’re one out of 10 siblings, Thompson said, it would be easy to forget.

If your parents give you “the birds and the bees talk” on your wedding day, you might be a Mormon.

If the only time your wife rubs your back is during church services, then you might be a Mormon, Thompson said.

Thompson was one of a dozen who showcased talents Wednesday night, along with several Utah State University students performing musical renditions of their favorite songs.

The Logan Arthouse Cinema opened in late 2009 by two brothers, Jonathan and James Ribera. They saw a need and an opportunity to provide a venue for local artists and independent cinema in Cache Valley (Utah State University students held their first-ever “Real 2 Reel Film Festival” at the Arthouse on Wednesday, bringing the community together to watch independent films they made). The brothers’ operation has been going strong ever since they drew about 70 people who watched the season finale of the popular TV series “Lost” on the big screen for their opening day.

Before the Riberas opened Logan Arthouse, the building was used by H.C. Heninger, who converted his pawn shop business into a movie theater. He also hoped to bring in other arts like theater and live music. Logan Arthouse and Cinema is located at 795 N. Main Street.

arin Thompson, of Smithfield, has a confession to make.

He wants to get plastic surgery when he dies so that when family and friends come to his funeral, they will go, “Wow! Look at how young he was!”

The surgery, the occupational therapist at Logan Regional Hospital believes, would make them believe he died while having too much fun in life.

Thompson was joking, of course. Every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., people from all over the valley come to The Logan Arthouse Cinema to showcase what talent they have — or just test the waters — to the general public. The venue is one of a half dozen businesses in the valley to offer open mic night.

The first night Logan Arthouse hosted the event, there were no more than six people, said co-owner Jonathan Ribera; then 20 people came; then 40 people.

“People are starting to find out ... that this is not a scary place to perform,” Ribera said. “Open mic night is a way to practice — sometimes they’re magical and sometimes they’re miserable accidents. No matter how many people show up, we’re always laughing and doing something crazy.”

Ribera warned the crowd of 30 plus that they would have to keep their language G-rated: “If you want to say the F word, just say Mommy and Daddy are wrestling instead.”

And, Ribera said, there would be no Japan tsunami jokes because it’s “too soon.”

tah State University will host the fifth annual Beat and Slam Poetry Night April 1 at 6:30 p.m. This year’s event, which will take place in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom, will feature slam poet Intikana, along with selected poems by Beat poets and performances by student poets. A gallery walk beginning at 6 p.m. in the Taggart Student Center will showcase USU’s student artists; art will be available for purchase.

Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 at the door, and are available at beatslamtickets.usu.edu, at the University Inn, the USU Writing Center (RBW 104), and True Aggie Café (117 N. Main, Logan). Hot beverages will be provided by Caffe Ibis and USU Catering. Unique coffee mugs – original works of art – have been created by potters of the USU Ceramics Guild as souvenirs for this year’s attendees.

The first 400 advance ticket purchases guarantee a custom mug.

Intikana, previously known as “Fascious,” is an Urban Word NYC Mentor and Teaching Artist who has taught workshops at universities, public schools, community centers, and prison facilities across the United

States. He is a world-renowned writer, performer, and hip-hop documentarian.

The Fascious Video Page on YouTube states, “As a member of the Rebel Diaz Arts Collective, Intikana seeks to utilize culture as a means for education and self-empowerment by promoting responsibility for the arts.”

Darren Edwards, a slam poet and event organizer, says beat and slam poetry are close companions: “Slam poetry is a lovechild of the beat poetry movement, whose poets pushed beyond conformity in content and technique. Like beat poetry spoken in the coffee-houses of the ’60s, slam poetry is conscious of its listeners because its listeners are in the presence of the poet.” “‘Beat.Slam.Uncensored.’ is wonderfully successful,” says Star Coulbrooke, who was responsible for cocreating the first event in 2006. “Each year we continue to grow and build on the success of the year before. We have tremendous support at USU and throughout the community.”

Chris Brown sorry for lashing out NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Brown apologized for his destructive tantrum at “Good Morning America” earlier this week, explaining that he was surprised that his attack on Rihanna was brought up during his interview and needed to “let out steam” after getting upset.

“I didn’t physically hurt anyone; I didn’t try to hurt anyone.

I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside of me because I felt like I worked so hard for this music and I love my fans and I love to be able to make positive music, but I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me,” he told the audience at BET’s “106 & Park” on Wednesday evening.

ABC News said the 21-yearold singer smashed a window in his dressing room Tuesday after he was interviewed by “GMA” co-host Robin Roberts on the show. Brown was promoting his new album, “F.A.M.E.,” out this week, but Roberts touched on his beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 during an interview before his scheduled performance.

“I kind of kept my composure throughout the whole interview.

Although you could see me upset, I kept my composure, did my performance,” Brown said.

“When I got back I just let out steam in the back.”

Brown said that the show had sent his team a list of “talking points” for the interview, and that it was his understanding that the focus would be about the album.

“As the interview proceeded, it was kind of thrown off,” he said. “I felt like they told us this so they could get us on the show to exploit me, that’s what I thought. So, I took it very, very hard.”

However, Roberts and ABC News said Brown was aware of the direction of the interview.

“Chris Brown was invited

Singer Chris Brown appears on the morning program “Good Morning America,” Tuesday, March 22, in New York. Brown was on “GMA” to promote his new album, “F.A.M.E.,” released the same day.

on ‘Good Morning America’ to perform and to be interviewed.

There were no talking points offered,” ABC News said in a statement.

Brown offered apologies to “anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really ... disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed in the way I acted.”

However, he noted that he didn’t harm anyone physically — and didn’t try to either.

Brown — once considered one of pop’s bright new stars — is still struggling to burnish his image after it was seriously tarnished by his attack on Rihanna on the eve of the Grammys two years ago. He pleaded guilty to a felony and was sentenced to five years’ probation. The judge in the case has lauded his progress in domestic violence counseling and other matters, and with Rihanna’s consent, a restraining order in the case

was eased.

After disappointing sales of 2009’s CD, “Graffiti,” released several months after the attack, he rebounded last year with the success of the song “Deuces,” a No. 1 R&B hit. He’s gotten radio airplay with songs from his newest CD and had been embraced more in the mainstream, where he was previously shunned: He performed on “Saturday Night Live” in February and was scheduled to appear next week on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Brown said he was now trying to focus on the positive, and asked his fans not to send any threats to Roberts.

“We don’t need that,” Brown said. “We need to take a stand and be more positive.”

For her part, Roberts was ready to turn the page on the episode as well.

“It’s time to move on ... we wish him the absolute best.”

Novel a compelling legal thriller

By Jeff Ayers For The Associated Press

riminal defense C lawyer Jack Swyteck uncovers a vast plot in James

Grippando’s compelling new novel, “Afraid of the Dark.”

Swyteck is asked to represent a suspected terrorist held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

He quickly learns that his client, Jamal Wakefield, is wanted for the murder of his girlfriend three years earlier.

The murdered woman was the daughter of the best friend of police officer Vince Paulo, who discovered her after she had been stabbed. With her dying breath, she implicated Jamal in her death. A few

seconds later, an explosion destroyed Paulo’s eyesight.

Jamal claims to have been tortured for suspected terrorist activities on the night of the murder. As Swyteck investigates, people who seem to have inside information end up dead. His fiancee, who works for the FBI, begs him to back off.

Paulo doesn’t want to believe the person responsible for the loss of his eyesight is still free.

Grippando has written a legal thriller that has more twists and turns than a snowy mountain pass.

Though Swyteck has been featured in several other terrific thrillers by Grippando, this latest adventure reads like a standalone and will not confuse readers new to the character.

first, which was released last month with a modest print run of 14,500.

A glowing review in The New York Times called Ciezadlo’s book “among the least political, and most intimate and valuable, to have come out

of the Iraq war.”

Ciezadlo was enchanted with Iraq from the start, watching as the “women wearing abayas billowed along the sidewalks like black jellyfish.” But in her quest to find the stories outside Baghdad’s protected Green Zone, food always seemed to take center stage, or to provide a gateway into lives so different from her own.

She even finds the language of war ultimately boils down to food.

“During peacetime, when we need metaphors, we raid the language of war,” she writes.

“But the idiom of wartime is food: cannon fodder, carnage, slaughterhouse. Buildings and people are pancaked, sandwiched, sardined. Perhaps it is because the destruction reminds us of the knowledge we spend our lives avoiding — that we are all meat in the end.”
