FROM THE EDITOR

T

he necklace I wear the most has a sterling silver pendant dangling from a simple silver chain. The word peace is inscribed on one side of the circular pendant, and imagine is inscribed on the other. My mom purchased the necklace a few years ago in California and it quickly became my favorite thing to wear. In its simplicity, the necklace matches everything I own and I usually have it fastened around my neck at least once a week or more. Every time I put it on, I decide which message I want to represent that day, or

which one I need the most. Some days I could use a little more peace in my life, and other days I want to remember to share it with others. I also like remembering to imagine, because with imagination, anything is possible from art, to music, to climbing Mount Everest. Before anything becomes a reality, someone has to imagine it first. Throughout history, we’ve had wonderful examples of people with imagination. Dr. Seuss imagined a cat in a hat, the Lorax and Whoville, colorful characters and places we’re all familiar with. Eric Carle created a very hungry caterpillar and a brown bear who told us what he saw. These images of watercolor animals are still clear in my head.

Beethoven wrote beautiful, timeless and complicated symphonies even though he was deaf. The Beatles changed music in America. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in American and went on to become a prolific writer. Some of the people with the best imaginations went through a great deal of hardship. Perhaps their afflictions are what taught them to dream. At Mountain Crest High School, art students shared some of what they imagine and why they believe creativity is important in schools. See what they came up with on page 8. — Manette Newbold


Local artist on display at gallery The watercolors of Kristi Grussendorf are on display through May 29 at the Logan Fine Art Gallery, 60 W. 100 North. Grussendorf lives in North Logan with her husband Jon and their golden retriever (both appearing often in her watercolors). Grussendorf was encouraged by her mother who studied art and art education. She was fortunate to grow up in a very creative environment. She received her BFA (with some post graduate studies) from the University of Utah with an emphasis in drawing and painting and was especially influenced by Doug Snow, Paul Davis, Dave Dornan, Ed Maryon and George Dibble. Her focus was the figure and she keeps her drawing skills current with continued weekly model sessions. Before moving to Cache Valley, Grussendorf was employed by Waterford School in Sandy as an art specialist. Although no longer teaching full time, long-term opportunities have presented themselves at Edith Bowen Laboratory School on the Utah State University campus and she is on the teaching roster for the Utah Arts Council. Grussendorf is a signature member of the Utah Watercolor Society and serves on the state board as the chair of membership. She teaches workshops and does presentations for both students and teachers and has been given the opportunity to be a juror/judge. She has won numerous state and national awards;

“Look at anybody in history who’s done anything useful, cured a disease or solved any sort of problem. And you look at each story individually, you see that imagination always plays a big part.” – Michael Bingham, Mountain Crest High School art teacher

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

Pet: Chloe From: Cache Humane Society Why she’s so lovable:

last year her “Red Rock Reverie” piece received Best of Show in the 26th annual Watercolor Wyoming National Exhibition,

and the same piece was included in Watercolor Artist magazine’s “The Year’s Best Paintings” article in February 2012.

Grussendorf continues to take workshops from the masters in her field, believing in lifelong learning and striving for excellence.

Chloe is a best friend waiting to happen. She’s very interested in people and will follow her owners around the house keeping them company. She’s ready for petting at any time. She has short fur that should be easy to groom. Chloe is only 1 year old, she is adaptable and should do well in just about any family situation.

all mixed up Culture Fest to provide family fun at Willow Park The Multicultural Center will host the first Culture Fest; a family friendly event to be held from 12 to 9 p.m. Saturday, May 26, at Willow Park in Logan. The event was planned to provide a venue for the culture and diversity found in Cache Valley and the state of Utah. The Culture Fest will host a variety of performers ranging from Irish Dancers, Mexican Folklore and many other cultural surprises.

The event will also have a children’s game and craft area, various food booths, representation from the non-profit sector, Luchadores from Salt Lake City and plenty of music. The event will provide plenty of fun for the entire family. For more information, contact Norma at 753-8486 or norma@mccutah.org. The Multicultural Center is a non-sectarian, non-denominational institution founded in 1994 in Logan.

Learn about natural disasters and human impacts at USU Natural disasters and how humans affect the environment are the topics of the next “Saturdays at the Museum” activity at Utah State University. The museum invites everyone to learn how, as humans, we affect the environment. Tips for adjusting to natural disasters are also offered at the May 26 activities. Throughout the day, the museum will host members of the U.S. Forest Service, as well as representatives from USU’s Outdoor Recreation Program, who will offer insights on the

impact humans can have on the natural areas in Cache Valley. They will also provide information about minimizing the human impact on the world. Many people are unprepared for natural disasters, and do not know what steps to take to prepare for such events, program organizers said. During Saturday’s activities, visitors can learn about natural disasters that could occur in our area and how to respond and react when they occur. Visitors will also learn what basic items should be included in a survival

kit. A number of survival skills will be outlined. In addition to the Saturday activity series, community members and USU students alike can visit the museum during its operating hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Funding for the Saturday events is provided by a grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available at www.imls.gov. The USU Museum of Anthropology

is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information about museum events, 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 in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.


F

or Todd Milovich, playing the guitar isn’t just about making music. As a guitar teacher and mentor to students in the valley, he hopes to not only help create more guitar players, but musicians who connect with their communities. Several of his former students form Uncommon Collective, a group of musicians who perform benefit concerts and work with kids in elementary, middle and high schools. He also works in education outreach for USU which provides after-school clubs in local schools. Looking ahead, Milovich says he has plenty more ideas and is proud to work with talented people in the valley. • Originally from Price, Utah, Milovich began playing guitar in elementary school. His teacher would often take him to bars where they would perform polka songs together. • He earned his degree at Utah State University in guitar performance. From there, he moved to California and began taking lessons from well-known guitar teacher, Duke Miller. • “(Duke Miller) kind of formed the basis of my future. He was a really holistic kind of teacher. He was more about creating good people as much as good guitar players.” • Milovich currently teaches about 25 guitar students. • With Uncommon Collective, Milovich plans several fundraisers each year. In its 12th year, the group’s Smile on Your Brother fundraiser earned funds for students who couldn’t pay ACT fees, admissions applications fees or graduation cap and gown fees. • This year he and a group of students from Logan High School and Fast Forward put on a Speak Easy to raise money for the cancer support group at Logan Regional Hospital. • “Through music, you can do so many things. You can connect to so many people. You can contribute to your community, you can give people a place to be and belong and all these many million things you can do with music as opposed to just being a great musician.” • Milovich also works with the America Reads program in the valley. He currently has 125 USU students working as mentors and tutors in 22 schools. They help students with homework for one hour after school, then provide an hour-long activity. More than 1,000 local kids are served each day with this program.

• This summer, Milovich and his students hope to offer drumming, yoga, pilates, meditation, belly dancing and activities for children every Tuesday evening at Willow Park. He says they’re getting a permit right now. Once that is finalized, he’ll start a Facebook page where the public can get more information. • As for the future, Milovich plans to stick around and expand the programs he’s involved with. • “There’s so much talent and so many creative people and so much possibility for some really cool community things to happen. It just takes people to push them forward.”

• On Saturday, Milovich and students from Logan High and Fast Forward will perform from 1 to 4 p.m. at Citrus and Sage as part of a fundraiser for Stokes Nature Center. Families are invited to listen to music and make kids crafts. For more information about Uncommon Collective and other various programs Milovich is involved with, email todd.milovich@usu.edu.

movies If only the entire movie had focused on the dad's group and didn't just drop in on them a handful of times, we might have been onto something here. Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon and Rob Huebel are among the dudes who meet regularly to push their kids in trickedout strollers, tote them in high-end carriers and talk guy stuff in a confidential setting away from the wives. Their no-nonsense banter livens up what is a rather predictable and cliched depiction of pregnancy. A likable, good-looking cast of popular actors can only do so much with material that's superficial and sitcommy. This is "inspired by" the advice book of the same name, one that every single pregnant woman on the planet surely has read since its initial publication in 1985. But similar to 2009's "He's Just Not That Into You," director Kirk Jones' film merely uses the title of a familiar non-fiction book as a leaping-off point to explore

Reviews by The Associated Press

★★ ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ Director // Kirk Jones Starring // Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison and J. Todd Smith Rated // PG-13 for crude and sexual content, thematic elements and language various relationships, ostensibly for hilarious comic effect. More often, we get the kind of contrived, unbelievable wackiness that breaks out when all the pregnant women whose stories we've been following just happen to give birth Lionsgate at the same hospital on the same night. Matthew Morrison, left, and Cameron Diaz are shown in a scene from “What to Expect When 110 minutes. You’re Expecting.”

‘Men in Black 3’ surprisingly enjoyable

“Men in Black 3” is everything you’d expect from an “MIB” movie, except unlike the second movie, this one is actually enjoyable. I admit being apprehensive to a third “MIB” simply because churning out sequels is the Hollywood summer go-to. In the summer of 2002, the sequel curse struck this franchise creating a painfully unfunny second film.

magination. What exactly is it? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it is the “act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses or never before wholly perceived in reality.” And if you ask Mountain Crest art teacher Michael Bingham, there is not enough imagination in schools these days and he’s doing his best to change that. “Our education system, I think it’s safe to say they pretty much ignore the kids’ imaginations and maybe even worse than that, I think our education system now, the way it is, actually damages kids’ imaginations and destroys them,” said Bingham, who is in his fourth year teaching at Mountain Crest. “Look at how imaginative kindergarten students are and then into first grade. By the time they get into second grade and third grade, it starts to die out and they get more worried about what other people think, they get more worried that they don’t have the one right answer, that there’s one right way to do a piece of artwork and they start worrying about that. “By the time I get them in high

school,” Bingham continued, “their own imaginations a lot of times are almost completely gone.” Krecia Jessop, a senior in Bingham’s AP art class, agreed with her teacher. “I think imagination is kind of lost sometimes,” Jessop said. “I actually teach my cousins art lessons — I go and tutor them, just for free and for fun. But, it’s the craziest thing because they’re home-schooled and compared to public education, they are so creative. “I’ll go over there and they just whip stuff out on the spot. I think kids in general can do that really well. They aren’t afraid to be the artist, they aren’t afraid to try new things, where you come to school sometimes, I think it gets lost a little bit amid all the other subjects. I don’t think it’s intentional, but I think it does get lost, so it’s nice to come to art class and have that restored a little bit.” As an end-of-year project, Bingham assigned his students to create square images — drawings, designs, water color and other mediums — focusing on imagination and why it’s important. “I would hope that this project we’re doing will kind of remind everybody that imagination is a really important element in being able to solve prob-

lems, in being able to go out into the world and make a difference,” said Bingham, who has been a professional artist for 27 years, including 12 spent at Hallmark Cards. “Look at anybody in history who’s done anything useful, cured a disease or solved any sort of problem, and you look at each story individually, you see that imagination always plays a big part. “Nobody ever does anything useful in society without some imagination — or anything new without some imagination.” Several of the students’ images were selected to appear in today’s Cache Magazine, including the front cover designed by Sa Saengthongaram, a foreign exchange student from Thailand. “I’m so excited,” said Saengthongaram, when he learned his design would be on the front cover. “... I’m so happy right now.” Saengthongaram chose to do a selfportrait. The design features 100 square blocks. “I just wanted to do (a portrait of) myself and then Mr. Bingham told me, ‘You should do that with the ‘We Need Imagination,’ so I did it,” Saengthongaram said. “The thing on top of my head

is an accident, so I adapted my accident to be one part of the piece.” When he was done with the project, Saengthongaram accidentally spilled paint on it. “I was so mad,” said Saengthongaram, who is a 16-year-old junior. “... I think it’s a cool accident, though. ... It’s a texture.” Courtney Bowers, a senior, enjoyed taking part in the project and knows just how significant it is to have imagination. “It’s really important, especially in school, because where you go to math or English or science, we all learn the same thing — what’s right is right,” Bowers said. “But then you come to art class and he gives us an assignment like this where everybody’s is different and there’s no wrong. It’s really important.” Bowers’ final piece — like Jessop’s — was considered for the front cover. “I decided to have a person with just this crazy background in a world full of different colors and weird shapes, maybe like a way of looking at things differently — a world that is more interesting than what you see every day,” Bowers said. A world with imagination.

It’s really important.” Bowers’ final piece — like Jessop’s — was considered for the front cover. “I decided to have a person with just this crazy background in a world full of different colors and weird shapes, maybe like a way of looking at things differently — a world that is more interesting than what you see every day,” Bowers said. A world with imagination.

Your Stuff “Memorial Day” By Ba Vi Chau Oh God! Please bless those named on the Wall. They are the heroes who served and died in the wars, For peace on the world, freedom of humanity, For independence of countries, they were ready, They spiritedly left their school, family and friends, To become courageous warriors, they were trained, After months under the heat of the training field, They were sent to the jungle and battlefield, Facing the poisonous creatures, dangerous enemies, Trying to bring back people’s hopes for peace, Their blood, sweat and tears spilled on this soil, Through their days in the deep jungle of toil, And finally, they returned to their homeland, In coffins with honored flags draping on them, Family and friends surrounded them with tears, As farewell to the persons they love for years, They died for freedom but were never free, Coming generations will continue to make history, Please, God, stop the evil we endure in war, Let the tears for the sacrifices no more.

“My Friends” By Terri Barnes I really don’t think, I can remember a time When I had truer friends That I could call mine You were always there When I needed to cry You were both always there And I didn’t know why With my heart full of sorrow I couldn’t go on any longer But you were always there Just making me stronger I needed forgiveness My heart had to mend I went through some healing So I turned to my friends I’m on the right track now And I want you to know Just how much you mean to me And how I love you so Thank you For Nancy Burr and Debbie Lundgreen of the Providence 8th Ward Send your poems and stories to mnewbold@hjnews.com.

Something humans can chew on: Why dogs put up with your tricks While Dennis is still on vacation busily stuffing his useless snout with pizza and beer for another few weeks, I thought I’d take this opportunity to fill you in on dogs. This is not just my opinion; I’m huge on Facebook and Twitter and combined answers from all my canine followers and BFFs. These are the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions): Q: What kind of music do dogs like? Opera, banjos and bag pipes are the closest to the sounds of our ancestral wolves howling in either joy or pain. We still get a kick out of that Jiggle Bells Dog thing every Christmas even though I’m pretty sure it was computer generated. Q: Why do dogs hang their heads out the windows of moving cars? We hang our heads out of car windows pleading for help from the police or anyone nearby because you humans are so stupid driving while talking on cell phones, eating and brushing your teeth. Please stop and

just drive. Thanks for leaving the tasty food wrappers on the floor, though. Q: Why do dogs always fall for the fake fetch throw trick? No, we’re not really fooled by the pretendingto-throw-the-ball trick or faking one direction and throwing it the other. We are just humoring you like your spouse who laughs at that same joke you have told at every dinner party for the last 10 years. We always like to say “you can’t teach an old human a new trick.” Q: Why are dogs always napping? It makes perfect sense to take a nap in the morning right after you get up; that is the time of day when you most wish you could sleep. And, don’t you always feel a little sleepy after you eat? So yes, that is the rhythm of our day; snack, nap, snack, nap; repeat until bedtime. You overlyserious bi-peds are just jealous. Q: Why do dogs like to chew on bones?

This reminds me though, Dennis and many of your ilk run, swim and go to the gym and then are too tired to take us for a measly walk around the block. If we try to go for a walk on our own, the city actually pays someone to pick us up and throw us in a truck. You are so mean sometimes; that’s why we occasionally lose our tempers and bite you. Q: Are dogs really man’s best friend? It reminds us of when This is such a silly we ruled the Earth. You question. I always answer don’t really believe “compared to what?” I it was the ice age that don’t see zebras, carp or caused the woolly mamlemurs putting up with moth to disappear do the stuff we dogs do. But you? I look at elephants sure, we are best friends on Animal Planet and forever because we are think “yum.” codependent in our need Q: Do dogs get tired of eating the same thing for acceptance. As Mr. T used to say “We pity every day? Why would we? That’s the fools” ... umm ... the fools being you. a human trait; you are so fixated on experiencLuba would like to thank ing new things that you you for reading and Dennis forget that every day for finally taking her for a is new and wonderful. walk after proofreading this.

Books ‘Flat Spin’ has riveting plot and fine prose By Bruce DeSilva Associated Press

“Flat Spin,” the title of this debut thriller, is the name of a complex and risky flight maneuver that only the most accomplished pilots should attempt, so it’s no surprise that the hero of the story, Cordell Logan, is a first-rate aviator. He’s also a former assassin for a top-secret military squad that specializes in making terrorists disappear. As the story opens, Logan is living in a converted garage in Rancho Bonita, Calif., where he is scraping out a living by giving flying lessons to spoiled rich kids. He’s haunt-

ed by his past, longing for his beautiful ex-wife, Savannah, and failing miserably — and hilariously — to find peace through his recent conversion to Buddhism. When Savannah’s new husband, another former assassination squad member, is gunned down, Logan has a very un-Buddhist reaction: He’s elated. But his mood quickly evaporates when he finds himself a suspect. So Logan sets out to solve the case himself. He takes to the air in “The Ruptured Duck,” his Cessna 172, following the killer’s trail from Oakland, Calif., to the Las Vegas Strip, from the Arizona

desert to Russian Mafia haunts in West Los Angeles.

Eventually, he gets too close to the surprising truth and is targeted for murder. The way Logan sees it, being in danger and suspected of murder are the least of his troubles. He is consumed by his longing for Savannah, the pain made so real that your own heart will ache. When you write your first thriller, it’s wise to stick with what you know, and Freed knows this turf. He covered police for the Los Angeles Times, where he shared in the Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Rodney King riots. He reported from Kuwait and Iraq during Operation Desert

Storm. He wrote computerized training simulations for the Defense Intelligence Agency. He holds a security clearance from the Department of Defense. And he’s a pilot who owns his own airplane. Unlike some novelists with technical expertise, Freed is a superb writer. His prose is at once muscular and musical — and sometimes verges on poetry. And he mixes a hard-boiled attitude with flashes of wry humor. The riveting plot and fine prose are sure to make “Flat Spin” one of the best debuts of 2012.

‘Cliff Walk’ is a chilling murder mystery new york times best-sellers By Jonathan Lopez Associated Press

In his Edgar Awardwinning first novel, “Rogue Island,” published in 2010, retired AP writing coach Bruce DeSilva introduced readers to the affable Liam Mulligan, a crime-solving Rhode Island metro reporter for the fictional Providence Dispatch. Mulligan, an old-school newspaperman with a taste for whiskey, cigars and irreverent humor, returns in the chilling murder mystery “Cliff Walk,” whose sometimes violent plot is tempered by the hero’s wry observations on print journalism’s seemingly inexorable decline. Recent staff consolidation and cutbacks have forced Mulligan to churn out light stories on topics such as highsociety parties. But a charity gala in posh Newport turns into real news when a guest is murdered atop the rocky Cliff Walk separating the area’s

Gilded Age mansions from the sea. Police believe the victim to be Sal Maniella, a millionaire pornographer and strip-club owner, but mysteries abound as none of Maniella’s friends or family will consent to identify the body. Mulligan teams up with Maniella’s beautiful, brainy female attorney to unravel the case, whose scope widens to include prostitution, child

abuse, multiple homicides and an enduring vendetta. Along the way, he receives help from a colorful cast of supporting characters, including a no-nonsense state attorney general nicknamed “Attila the Nun,” loosely modeled on real-life Rhode Island politician Arlene Violet, who left the Sisters of Mercy religious order to pursue public office. Despite the book’s sexually charged situations and graphic crime-scene descriptions, DeSilva’s narrative style ensures that any shocking details remain firmly in service of the plot, and the tone never turns exploitative. You can count on Mulligan to reappear in the next installment of this series from DeSilva, but be prepared for changes. When Mulligan learns that bookmakers are taking bets on how long the Dispatch will remain in business, he begins to consider a tempting job offer — from a private detective agency.
