FROM THE EDITOR The recent drop in temperature has me complaining about many things — it’s too cold, this year’s outdoor climbing season is definitely over (for me) and the battery in my car has had more trouble getting started in the morning than I have. I think I’m a fairly positive person, but this week I’ve had to take my cue from my adorably optimistic nephew, who manages to find the “good thing” in any situation. Once
after falling off his bike, he immediately jumped up and proclaimed, “Good thing I had my helmet on!” There have been a number of times when he has begun his observation of something with the phrase “good thing ...” and then gone on to help me recognize the positive in less-than-ideal situations. I am trying to do the same. So, here goes. In regard to this week, good thing Cache Valley had such a beautiful fall. Good thing there are people willing to help me when my car won’t start. Good thing there were clear blue skies this week. Good thing the snow is pretty. Good thing I had a cake mix to bake. Good thing I didn’t
spill all the sprinkles. Good thing it’s Friday. There are plenty of things to look forward to with the holiday season fast approaching. Seasonal activities around the valley are coming right up. Performances of “The Nutcracker” begin soon. Other events going on include fall ensemble concerts, which are continuing at Utah State University. There are other musical performances and there are art exhibits to see at USU and the Brigham City Museum. Continue reading to see what else is happening. And next week, Jeff will be back. — Arie Kirk

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption
Pet: Norma Jean From: Cache Humane Society Why she’s so lovable: Norma Jean is a calm, snuggly adolescent kitten. She’s very playful with a string and ribbon wand. She is a beautiful tabby with a button nose and wide, thoughtful eyes — she may be plotting how to steal your heart when you meet her. She’ll do it with finesse, though, and you won’t realize until it’s too late and you just have to adopt her. Norma Jean is simply too cute to live in a shelter.

Now, examples from that trip can be seen in an exhibit on the USU campus. “The Renaturalization of Emscher River: A Photographic Documentation,” an exhibition featuring the students’ photos of the river, is on display at Special Collections and Archives, located in the MerrillCazier Library on USU’s Logan campus, Nov. 10-Dec. 12 from 7 a.m. to midnight during the library’s open hours. A reception is planned Nov. 14 from 3-4:50 p.m. at the exhibit site, located on the basement level.

including new spaces of leisure and recreation, an improvement of real estate value and the quality of life in general,” said Terry. “The project will likely be finished in 2020 after 30 years of investment and construction.” The goal was to create a documentation of the project — primarily in photographic images — that tells the story of the Ruhr region’s rise to an industrial powerhouse and subsequent reinvention as a modern urban area focused on the quality of life of its inhabitants, said Terry. “Our exhibition in Special Collections will include about 40 in a photography project to document revitalization of the key images from all of the student and faculty participants,” said Terry. to develop a near-natural wastewater channels and “A self-published book, lowland river system 340 kilometers of new available for sale, will again.” rivers and streams with also be on display at the The project, with a an adjacent floodplain show.

Percussion ensembles concert upcoming
Next up in its ongoing series of fall ensemble concerts, the Utah State University Department of Music presents the percussion ensembles concert Monday, Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall, located in the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s Logan campus. “The audience will find this concert exciting because of the diverse array of music the Caine Percussion Ensemble
and USU Percussion Ensemble will perform,” said Jason Nicholson, assistant professor of percussion in the Caine College of the Arts. The ensembles will play a piece called “Lift-Off” by Russell Peck that mimics a helicopter taking off and flying and John Cage’s “Third Construction.” “The concert itself will have a variety of different types of music from ‘Third Construc-
tion’ that utilizes unorthodox percussion instruments such as tin cans and cricket callers,” said Nicholson. “We’ll also perform Alfieri’s ‘Fanfare for Tambourines’ that features six percussionists who mostly play tambourines.” Other pieces the ensembles will perform are David Gillingham’s “Angels of the Apocalypse” to a piece called “Catching Shadows,” written for marimbas, vibraphones
and cajons, said Nicholson. Tickets are $10 general admission, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information or to purchase tickets visit the CCA Box Office located in room L-101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center, online at the college’s Production Services website (arts. usu.edu) or by calling 435797-8022.

work of a wide range of artists who sought to create spiritual and enchanted forms of modern art and music in the 20th century. “In many ways Ödlund’s work highlights the influence of Theosophy on the arts, pushing the questions the exhibition raised about this from the past into the realm of contemporary art practice, not only in the United States but also around the world,” said Scheer. “Ödlund’s work is a compelling and vibrant example of the ongoing fascination Theosophy has for musicians and
artists alike.” Ödlund explores theosophical texts and thought in many of her works. Her exhibitions are often more than solely a visual experience, instead invoking many heightened senses and new experiences, said Scheer. “Ödlund represents the continuing influence of Theosophy and its ideas on modern artists,” said Scheer. “I think she would consider herself someone who is interested and inspired by

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art (NEHMA) at Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts presents “Contemporary Resonances: The Art and Music of Christine Ödlund.” The Sunday, Nov. 16, event is described as a lecturerecital and is part of the “Museum and Music” series and begins at 3 p.m. Ödlund, a contemporary artist who lives and works in Sweden, has been described as an artist whose works are experimental and improvisational. Her focus is to connect the abstract with the concrete in an unforeseen way. Ödlund works within most visual mediums with much of her work being conceptual. In addition, she is also a composer of electroacoustic composition. “Christine Ödlund is on the ascent in the European art and music world, and it is a special honor to host her at USU for a lecture-recital of her work to mark the closing of ‘Enchanted Modernities: Mysticism, Landscape, and the American West,’” said Christopher Scheer, assistant professor of musicology in the Caine College of the Arts and one of the curators of the exhibition. The exhibit argues that the dynamic intersections between mystical movements, ideas and the landscapes of the American West were significant for the

Installations in the exhibit that enable visitors to return in thought to a former time are a kitchen devoid of such amenities as a microwave oven, an induction station and a soda fountain, to name a few. The exhibit also draws on memories and oral histories gathered by the Minnesota Historical Society. The diversity of their recollections is evident in these quotes: “Most of us were seniors; and after hearing about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, right away it struck you — that takes care of ‘what are we going to do after getting out of high school?’” and “When my boyfriend asked me to marry him after the war ended, he
offered me a ring or a refrigerator. I took the refrigerator.” Local artifacts from the museum’s collection as well as local stories from oral histories will supplement the exhibit. Museum Director Kaia Landon says, “We’re excited to feature ‘Our Lives, Our Stories’ because the aura of the ‘greatest generation’ that helped shape the world we live in today has not dimmed for many people. The generation’s adversity and achievement, despair and triumphs are a testament to its extraordinary character.” “Our Lives, Our Stories: America’s Greatest Generation” has received funding from the Utah Humanities Council. The Utah Humanities Council provides leadership to empower individuals and groups to improve their communities through active engagement in the humanities. This exhibition has

“Dumb and Dumber To” is a 110-minute cinematic afterthought. An idea lacking any sort of comedic relevancy. Perhaps if the ’90s resembled today’s sequel-happy age we would’ve had three or four “Dumb and Dumber” movies by now, and they’d still be fresh on our minds. Bringing back Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) 20 years later reeks of desperation; so does the movie’s comedy, which is a hollow shell of its former self. It’s been two decades since adult-idiot duo Harry and Lloyd took a road trip to Aspen to return a briefcase. Turns out Lloyd has spent most of his time confined to a psychiatric facility while Harry visits him every Wednesday to change his adult diapers. On one hand you’re glad that Lloyd actually found some surroundings that suit his mental state; on the other hand when you first see Jim Carrey with one of his patented twisted up facial expressions sitting in a wheelchair, peeing into a colostomy bag, you instantly remember all the unfunny things Carrey has done in his career in the name of laughter. That opening scene sets the mood for a movie that tries way too hard to recapture the bygone comedic magic of its predecessor. Daniels has had a very successful run on his HBO show “The Newsroom,” portraying serious news anchor Will McAvoy. Watching him step back into the role of schlubby dolt Harry, is strange beyond all reason. However weird it may seem, Daniels

As I approach my 35th calendar year in Cache Valley, I have taken to referring to myself as a Common Law Mormon. It’s an easy laugh but it also accurately describes how I feel. I try to counsel my younger nonMormon friends, but realize they will have to learn for themselves. Non-Mormons here and elsewhere in Utah fall roughly into these five sub-species. Like bird watching, it’s not always easy to spot the subtle differences. It is more of a self-sorting mechanism than a continuum. See which category you, your friends and neighbors fall into. It could be multiple choices, all above but unlikely none of the above. Liberal Utopians: They

Many artists featured in the exhibition were familiar with the book, which contained three pictures called “Thought Forms of Music.” They are a visual representation of how theosophists wanted to find a connection between music and the visual arts.

In the off season they imagine that there must be a place where a freedomloving citizen of the United States can walk
down the street wearing nothing but a tin foil hat while smoking a joint and not be discriminated against. I have been on this journey myself and you can’t even do this in Portland or at Burning Man, so give up the quest for the perfect place or form your own country. Confused Conservatives: It must be tough to be a non-Mormon conservative here. While it is nice to be able to carry guns and have a lot of Republicans in government, what about all that Sunday stuff? Confused Conservatives tend to be driven to smoking, drinking, excessive facial hair and loud profane conversation in order to differentiate themselves from

Mormons. This description can also be used to described many Mormon males during hunting season, so be discerning in your identification. Hostages: These are the angry/bitter nonMormons who believe there is no way out. Circumstances beyond their control such as a flat tire have forced them to stay here and stoically endure the daily oppression of Mormonia; sometimes for decades. Many Hostages have been imprisoned here longer than John McCain in Vietnam and are still waiting for someone or something to rescue them. They claim to be trapped by unsupportive spouses, the sagging economy of just about anything that Orrin Hatch does.
Mo-Curious: They are sort of like Jack Mormons but were never Mormons to begin with. These are the alacarte religious eclectics who want to pick and choose what parts of each religion they like and form their own Church of One. “I really like the LDS Church’s family values and welfare system but do I really want to be married for eternity?” they muse. “That’s worse than trying to decide on a tattoo.” The Mo-Curious are the same people who confuse being gay with having a flamboyant fashion sense. UVAs — Utah Veterans Association: These non-Mormons are my people. They say “this is the place” but for differ-
ent reasons than the state founders. We are in but not of Utah because we were not born here nor can we trace any relatives to the handcart migration. We can never be considered citizens, but just like putting in a number of years in the military, we are bound together by our common struggle. And, really, it isn’t that much of a struggle. People like me are among the state’s most ardent and articulate apologists. We live content lives barely distinguishable from the majority around us. Still, we are a little different; just like everybody else. Dennis Hinkamp knows that astute readers will recognize the homage to a Robert Kirby column circa 1994.

Fans of author Anne Lamott know reading her work is like finding a favorite sweater from the depths of the closet on the first crisp fall day: warm, comforting, familiar and easy. Her new book, “Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace,” is a collection of beautifully written essays, filled with nuggets of wisdom gathered over years of mindful living. The stories tackle some heavy topics, from Lamott’s alcoholic, dysfunctional family to mourning the illness and death of friends. But Lamott’s candor, and sarcastic, selfbasics, and stretches the limits deprecating humor, lighten the of emotional depth in simple content and engage readers. stories with larger lessons.

Chorus Continued from Page 8 they just want to help.” Toward the end of his remarks, Stewart spoke of his belief that all people, not just veter-
ans and those in the service, are on Earth for a reason. “I think all of us are here for a reason: to help others. There are lives we can help.” The American Festival Chorus and Orchestra is a nonprofit organization dedicated to “providing a culture of musical
concentrate on the present. “You sacrifice the need to be right, because you have been wronged, and you put down the abacus that helped you keep track of things,” she writes. Lamott acknowledges many character flaws that ring true for anyone. In one story, she decides a fellow mom at school is her “Enemy Lite.” She’s certain this hateful woman — who’s either exercising or baking cupcakes — is judging her, and perpetually trying to show her up. But as the relationship evolves, she realizes she was projecting all her fears of failure and maternal insecurities onto this woman. Once she sees the situation clearly, she’s able to accept the woman’s kindness and forgive herself for not being perfect. “I was trying to get her to carry all this for me because it hurt too much to carry it myself,” Lamott writes. Lamott’s subtle humor is at its best when she describes her foray into Internet dating. Her Goldilocks parade of prospects included men who were anti-religion, self-involved, apolitical and hated her politics. One wore an unbuttoned tropical shirt, another had an unbearable laugh. Alas, no love connection, but she finds satisfaction in conquering the awkwardness and fear of dating. In several essays on dying with dignity and the mourning process, Lamott suggests grief is an individual experience with no set timetable or behavexcellence that edifies, entertains and educates.” An upcoming performance with the chorus is “Christmas from the Ellen Eccles Theatre with Kurt Bestor and Nathan Pacheco” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6.
ior rules. She says it’s not only OK to yell, scream and cry, it’s probably necessary to receive the best gifts of grief: “softness and illumination.” She’s learned the best you can do is try not to fix people, just show up and listen. When a friend’s child is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a community of friends and neighbors offers food, rides, baby-sitting and hugs. She compares the compassionate support to building a barn around the
family — a shelter against the cruel unfairness of reality. Lamott often seeks solace in nature and uses hikes in the woods or a walk on the beach as a peace tonic, and a reminder to stay in the now. She says you can reach your dreams if you’re willing to “fall in love with your own crazy, ruined self.” That love takes time to grow. By sharing her journey from drunk to sober, broken to mended, hungry to spiritually fulfilled, her words heal us all.
