FROM THE EDITOR I wasn’t sitting too far away from where I’m sitting right now when I heard that Chris Farley had died.

Since the actor/comedian passed away in December 1997, that’s a pretty good clue that I’ve been at The Herald Journal for a long time.

And while Farley’s death was a shock at the time since he was just 33 years old, in the nearly 18 years since, it’s become pretty obvious that we shouldn’t have been surprised considering the big man’s big appetite for food, booze and drugs.

Thanks to Spike TV’s recent showing

of the new documentary “I Am Chris Farley,” a lot of old Farley memories have been coming back to me this week. Produced by his brother, Kevin, the film is a moving tribute to a sweet and very funny man who was taken down much too soon by his addictions.

“He loved being an actor, and he really loved doing what he did,” Kevin Farley said in an interview earlier this month.

“He had his troubles; he has his demons.

But despite all that, he made pretty good life for himself. A short, but beautiful life.”

Farley definitely didn’t have the sex appeal of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean or Jimi Hendrix, so he’ll never quite be a cultural icon like those stars were. But after watching “I Am Chris Farley,” it’s

impossible not to be sad over a life cut way too short, and wonder what kind of great comedy Farly might still be delivering in his 50s.

Fortunately, there are still constant reruns of “Tommy Boy” and classic “Saturday Night Live” sketches like the Chippendale’s dancers and Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker, that still live on nearly two decades after Farley’s death.

“I think a lot of his comedy is timeless,” Kevin Farley said of his brother. “... People are always going to look back at him and say, ‘There was a unique person. And a unique comedian.’ And that’s just the beauty of Chris. He was very unique.”

Big band era comes alive Sept. 8-11 What’s unique about the Celebrate America Show?

For one ticket price, guests receive three outstanding events: dinner, a show and dance.

The main attraction is the Broadway-style show, “New York, A Wonderful Town!” which takes the audience back in time to the 1940s with three sailors who have only 24 hours in New York City before being shipped out. They see the girls, see the sights and end up at the Statue of Liberty understanding why they’re fighting for America. Packed with singing, dancing and a message that makes you proud to be an American, this delightful show features the Stardust Singers, Stardust Dancers and the Larry Smith Orchestra.

This year’s show will run from Sept. 8-12 at the Evan Stevenson Ballroom in the Taggart Student Center at Utah State University, Evan Stevenson Ballroom, Logan, Utah. Tickets are available for the full package with dinner, show and dance, or show and dance only. The first performance on Tuesday, Sept. 8, is a dress rehearsal. Group rates are offered for the Tuesday and Wednesday shows.

For tickets, call (435) 5541049 or visit celebrateamericashow.com.

After dinner and the show, the evening concludes with “In The Miller Mood”, Big Band Era, supper-club-style entertainment where guests may dance or just enjoy listening to the hit tunes of Glenn Miller, Tommy

Dorsey, Artie Shaw and others including, “In The Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” “I’ve Got A Gal in Kalamazoo,” “At Last, Stardust,” “Sing Sing Sing” and many more with the Stardust Singers and Larry Smith Orchestra.

“The show itself is spectacular, but there’s more to Celebrate America than a

great show,” founder Brenda Anthony says. “We are proud to partner with Utah’s Honor Flight and to present a World War II veteran with ‘The Freeman Award’ — each show honors a different veteran.

USU professor’s artwork on display through Aug. 28 Utah State University professor of drawing and painting Jane Catlin has been chosen to exhibit at the “Going Big” exhibition at the Central Booking Gallery in New York City.

Her painting “Buoyant” will be on display through Aug. 28.

“Going Big” refers to the seemingly limitless potential of artists finding kindred spirits online, as well as to the expanding exhibition possibilities this creates in different locations, exhibition literature said. The exhibition brings together artworks from around the country. The show originated online with the artists meeting and becoming familiar with one another’s work through social media.

“Going Big” has inspired an outpouring of generosity and cooperation among the artists themselves by helping one another pay for fees, buy supplies and sharing the work of installing the show, exhibit organizers said.

Catlin’s work revolves

“Martin Harris: The Man Who Knew” will be presented on select dates from July 31 to Aug. 15 in Clarkston.

around human impact on our ecosystem. Catlin, who teaches out of the Department of Art and Design in the Caine College of the Arts, has received many awards for her artwork, including a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Utah Arts Council. Her

work has been widely exhibited with solo shows at The New York Art Center, the JK Gallery in Los Angeles and the Togonon Gallery in San Francisco.

Catlin received a bachelor of fine art from USU and an MFA and MAE from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Every other year, the Clarkston Pageant recounts the life and testimony of Martin Harris, one of the Three Witnesses of the origin and authenticity of the Book of Mormon.

“Martin Harris: The Man Who Knew” is scheduled to be held again this year beginning at 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 31. Additional performances will be held at the same time on Aug. 1, 4-8 and 11-15, at the Martin Harris Memorial Amphitheater at 1100 N. 8400 West in Clarkston.

To request tickets, visit clarkstonpageant.org. Admission is free, but reservations are required. Group reservations are available. Early arrival is recommended; people should be in their seats at least 15 minutes before the program start. Performances are an hour and 15 minutes long.

This year’s fundraising celebration dinner, “A Night of Light,” will feature the Jambo Africa Burundi Drummers, who have the unique ability to balance their massive traditional drums on their

heads while dancing and singing. These young men fled to the United States as refugees from Burundi, a country located in wartorn central-east Africa. Their performance symbolizes peace, love and the heartbeat of life itself.

‘Fantastic Four’ bombs on opening weekend NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood’s summer has had runaway sensations (“Jurassic World”) and heartwarming hits (“Inside Out”). It now has its fiasco.

“Fantastic Four,” 20th Century Fox’s attempt to reboot the superhero teamup franchise, debuted with just $26.2 million at North American theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The result was bad enough

that last week’s leader, Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation,” held the top spot with $29.4 million in its second week.

The overwhelming flop for “Fantastic Four” is a rare humbling for a Marvel superhero film, which often gross more than $20 million in just one night. The film has been savaged by critics and was dogged by reports of creative difficulties. Director Josh Trank

even distanced himself from it Thursday in a tweet he soon-after deleted in which he alluded to studio interference: “A year ago I had a fantastic version of this,” he wrote.

“Fantastic Four” was Fox’s attempt to revive a franchise just 10 years after its launch. But those earlier films — neither of which critics or fans much liked — opened twice as well. The 2005 original debuted with

$56.1 million and the 2007 sequel, “Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer,” opened with $58.1 million.

The reboot, made for $120 million and with a massive marketing budget, was designed with a youthful bent, enlisting Trank (who had only 2012’s “Chronicle” under his belt) and a cast of Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate

Roker delivers a ‘Storm’ Weatherman writes about epic disaster

NEW YORK (AP) — Al Roker’s new book, “The Storm of the Century,” reads like a blockbuster movie script, but the “Today” show weatherman said the drama, heartache and strife of the Great Hurricane of 1900 that hit Galveston, Texas, is all too real.

“This is still the greatest natural disaster to hit the United States, even after all this time,” Roker told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

Out Tuesday, the book comes a few weeks before the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29.

Roker said natural disasters have become stronger and stronger and the book is a reminder of the damage that can come.

“I think human nature is that we can handle whatever comes our way,” Roker said. “But I think, as our environment is changing, I think we have to rethink that, and that certain ways of life and certain places we

live may not be feasibly habitable for much longer and hard choices are going to have to be made.”

To create the narrative, Roker uses newspaper clippings, oral histories and archival records to piece together the devastation of the island city once called the “Paris of the Gulf Coast.”

The book describes the seaport as a town leading the U.S. into the 20th century. Its population was diverse and progressive, streets were lined with new electric lamps

and business was booming from a shipping trade that passed through the popular tourist destination.

“In 1900, Galveston had more millionaires per capita than any other city in America. ... It had so much going for it,” Roker said. “It also had a lot of hubris and a lot of pride to its own detriment.”

Roker eases readers into the Sept. 8 evening of doom by weaving in the story of Galveston’s development and descriptions of the U.S. media

and political landscape.

He also creatively loops in the backstories of several townspeople, including a weatherman, young schoolteacher and a single mother — all of whom believed a storm like this could never happen.

“These desperate characters (are) all kind of being united by this one natural disaster that will change their lives forever.

Some of them survive and some of them don’t,” Roker said.

GOP debate grabs big some numbers NEW YORK (AP) — Among the big winners from last week’s Republican presidential debates: Fox News Channel.

Its Thursday night airing of the A-list debate, which gathered the 10 highest-polling GOP hopefuls including Donald Trump, was by far the most-watched program of the week on either cable or broadcast, drawing 24 million viewers, according to the Nielsen company.

That was more than twice the audience for the week’s second-ranked show, NBC’s Hall of Fame Game, seen by 11 million viewers.

Following the debate, “The Kelly File,” hosted by debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly, was seen by nearly 11 million, ranking third for the week.

And even Thursday’s earlier GOP faceoff, spotlighting lesser-polling candidates, won Fox News Channel six million viewers (as the week’s 16th-highestranked show).

With a huge boost from those debates, Fox News Channel was easily the week’s most popular cable network overall, averaging 4.26 million viewers. Disney was next, averaging 1.82 million, followed by TNT with 1.62 million and USA with 1.57 million.

Among broadcast networks, NBC won the week in prime time, averaging 5.6 million viewers in its first victory week since May. Runner-up CBS had 5.2 million, followed by ABC with 3.6 million, Fox with 2.1 million, Univision with 1.9 million, Telemundo with 1.5 million, ION Television with 1.1 million and the CW with 1.0 million.

For the week of Aug. 3-9, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: Republican Presidential Debate, Fox News Channel, 24 million ; Hall of Fame Game, Pittsburgh vs. Minnesota, NBC, 10.98 million; “The Kelly File,” Fox News Channel, 10.93 million; “America’s Got Talent,” NBC, 10.21 million viewers; “NBC NFL Preseason Pre-Kick,” NBC, 8.98 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 8.72 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 7.17 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 7.10 million; “America’s Got Talent Best-Ofs,” NBC, 6.99 million; “Big Brother” (Sunday), CBS, 6.62 million.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Beginning with Saul Bass-style opening credits and packed full of Cold War paranoia, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” has all the hallmarks of an espionage movie from yesteryear. It’s a stylish, suave spy caper that packs the artistic visual punch of its venerable director Guy Ritchie.

The Berlin Wall is still standing. The threat of nuclear holocaust is still very real.

Contrasted with the overall dour outlook of the human race during the Cold War are two special agents who provide light-hearted chemistry. Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is an American secret agent who has the smooth gravitas of a nightly news anchor.

Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) is a Russian agent with the body of a MMA fighter and a temper problem. An unlikely team is formed between the two when they have to team up to find a rogue nuclear scientist and the fanatical femme fatale (Elizabeth Debicki) looking to unleash nuclear Armageddon on the world.

Sure, it sounds rather bland at the outset.

Taken solely by its standard parts, “U.N.C.L.E.” is a typical espionage flick. However, the key to the movie’s success is the visual acumen and brave creativity of its writer/director Guy Ritchie (“Sherlock Holmes”).

Ritchie successfully finds resourceful and hilarious ways to shoot the same old spy movie scenes. He plays around with the expectations of the genre, and, at times,
