Cute pet photo of the weekPet: Agnes From: Macriss FamilyWhy she’s so lovable: “Agnes came to the Macriss’ home from a breeding setting in which she was con-sidered non-productive. This means she had never been outside to learn to play, run or even bark. With the love and patience of her new family she gained confidence and an incredible zest for life. She learned to run, play, bark, chase toys and wag her tail so fast you would think she might take flight. Most importantly she taught her new family about the unconditional love of a dog, something they had never experienced before. Horribly, Aggy was killed on Easter Sunday by a vicious dog attack. As a community we must take the steps

necessary to stop this ever-increasing event from happening. Let’s protect our pets and children by speaking to our neighbors and community leaders about this very important issue.”Slow Wave

IJUST LOVE WHEN SUMMER rolls around — not just because it’s warm and beautiful and there’s

so much to do, but because we get to read Cache Magazine movie critic Andy Morgan’s annual Summer Movie Preview.

The summer months are always jam-packed with blockbuster releases, and this year is no exception. Of course I always enjoy the dramatic movies that are likely to make a run at the next year’s Academy Awards, but I’ll also admit I have a thing for action movies. You know, those films that really don’t have a great plot but are full of explosions, car chases, gun fights and beautiful people. You can go to the theater, buy some popcorn and a soda and completely shut your mind

off for a couple of hours while you grip the edge of your seat. Sometimes we all need a little mind time off.

Some of the blow-’em-up, sure-to-make-millions flicks hitting theaters between now and August that I’m looking forward to include: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” starring Hugh Jackman, “Terminator: Salvation” starring Christian Bale, “Inglorious Basterds” starring Brad Pitt, “Public Enemies” starring Johnny Depp and “The Taking of Pelham 123” starring John Travolta.

Turn to pages 12 and 13 to find out what Andy thinks of these movies, plus a bunch of others coming out. He’s sorted them into three categories, “must see,” “maybe” and “miss,” so you can plan your date nights accordingly.

Have a great weekend, everyone!— Jamie Baer Nielson

THE LIFE AND work of Harrison and Iva Lou Groutage will be

celebrated at an open house from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, April 26, at the David B. Haight Alumni Center. Harrison Groutage will also be honored with an Alumni Association Professional Achievement Award for his outstanding service and contri-butions to his profession and to the artistic community. His work and Iva Lou’s quilts will be on display along with a slideshow presentation of his paintings, sculptures and more. The Light-wood Duo will play live music and everyone is invited.

The Groutages’ display will be available to the public during the Alumni Center’s regular hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, April 27 and 28.

Friends of the David B. Haight Alumni Center Chairwoman Bernice McCowin said the Pro-fessional Achievement Award is presented to a person who has demonstrated excellence in his or her professional career, and Harrison Groutage’s accomplish-ments certainly fit the criteria.

“Besides being a professor of art at USU for 32 years and art department head for 10 years,

he is a very versatile artist whose work is included in over 500 public and private collec-tions throughout the nation,” she said. “Many of Cache Valley’s homes and businesses have a Groutage painting or print on display.”

Groutage is widely recog-nized for his artistic work in painting, printmaking, drawing and murals. His work is includ-ed in more than 500 private and public collections and is recognized and honored in gal-leries throughout the nation. His works have received more than 55 awards and honors includ-ing the Utah Heritage Founda-tion Award for significant and unique contribution to art, Altro T. Hibbard Memorial Award for his painting “Mormon Country” and the Governor’s Award for 1999 Utah Artist of the Year.

Iva Lou Groutage is an art-ist in her own right. In recent years she has become known for prize-winning quilts created with an eye toward unique color combinations and patterns. Her quilts are eagerly received by her six grandchildren as they reach milestones in life. Iva Lou has won numerous awards for her quilts in shows including

the American Heritage Quilt Show and has been a mem-ber of the Cache Valley Quilt Guild and Utah Quilt Guild for decades. She is also a member of the Clio Club of Cache Val-ley and the Red Hat Society.

Harrison’s work has been on display in Salt Lake City at the Sugarhouse’s Groutage Gallery, which opened in March 2005. The Groutage Gallery has been a successful and opened as a way to showcase the work of

Harrison and a number of other artists connected to him.

Harrison and Iva Lou have three children: Farol Ann Nelson of Richmond, James Harrison Groutage of Pocatello and Hilary Groutage Weible of Ona, W.Va.

THE CACHE VALLEY Figure Skating Club will

present its sixth annual spring show, “Once Upon a Time in 2009,” at 8 p.m. April 24 and 25 at the Eccles Ice Center. The performance will showcase fairy tales with a modern twist. Performers include award-winning club skaters along with special guests from the Eccles Ice Center’s Learn-to-Skate and Hot Chocolate Club programs, as well as students from the USU figure skating class. They will also be joined by Scott Smith, a nationally ranked skater. General admis-sion is $5 and reserved seating is $8. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Eccles Ice

Center or at the door on the evenings of the shows.

The Cache Valley Figure Skating Club consists of skat-ers of all ages dedicated to the sport of figure skating. Mem-bers of the club compete at var-ious events throughout the state of Utah and the western United States. Most recently, club skat-ers brought home 19 placement medals from the Jackson Hole Invitational in March.

As a featured guest, CVFSC is honored to have Scott Smith perform. Smith began skating at age 7 after trying it at a friend’s birthday party. He then partici-pated in the U.S. Figure Skat-ing Basic Skills Program. He quickly progressed through for-

mal lessons, and by age 12 he was performing triple salchows (his favorite jump), triple toe loops and numerous spins. Skating on the national and international level since age 13, Smith became the U.S. Junior Men’s Champion in 1998. He also won his first senior medal at the U.S. National Champion-ships in 2003. He is the only U.S. skater other than Timothy Goebel to land a quad salchow in competition.

One of Smith’s biggest life-defining moments was placing fourth at the 2003 State Farm U.S. Championships. The skater hopes to establish more memorable on-ice moments by achieving his ambitious

goals, which includes improving his consistency, during the upcoming sea-sons. After his skating career he would like to skate in shows, teach and do skating commentary on television.

Smith works as a coach part time and swims on a team in Salt Lake City. His most prized possession is his 2000 silver VW Beetle and his hobbies include tennis, ping pong, skat-ing, swimming, movies and music. He is also a dog lover.

IN THE ACADEMIC WORLD there are differences within degree categories, and in the

humanities — especially the arts — a bachelor’s of fine art degree, the BFA, is considered a professional degree that requires additional work. Art students at Utah State University who will receive their BFA this spring are planning a series of year-end exhibi-tions to showcase their art.

Among the BFA students are those in the graphic design program in the art department, and their work will be showcased in two sessions Tues-day, April 28, in activities at USU’s Chase Fine Arts Center. The students’ electronic portfolios can be seen in an Interactive Show from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Tippetts Gallery and print portfolios can be seen in the Print

Showcase from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center courtyard (weather permitting).

The Print Showcase is the high-light of the one-day event and all are invited. Those viewing the students’ portfolios will be treated to live music and refreshments.

“The BFA exhibition is the capstone course for BFA candidates in graphic design,” said faculty member Dave Smellie. “Although I help coordinate the event, the exhibition is completely designed and created by the students and gives them an opportunity to present their design work to a public audience. The students have created a fun event, but it’s a great opportunity for design professionals to review the excellent work this group has pro-duced during their studies at USU.”

Angella Arakaki is a senior partici-pating in the BFA show. She designed and programmed a game in Flash, then created packaging for the game. Her work is an example of the diversity of ideas, items and products created by students in the graphic design area.

“You can define my work as being colorful, imaginative or animated,” Arakaki said. “Luckily, my professors at USU encourage design students to showcase as much individuality in their work as possible. I think one of the best things you can offer as a designer is a fresh perspective, some-thing really unique, sprinkled with a little bit of good typography, form, precision and a punch of color.”

Arakaki has studied at USU for the past two years after transferring from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

MENDON CITY WILL HOST ANonline art auction from April 27 to May

18 to raise money to build trails for students to use as they walk to and from school.

Since the new Mountainside Elementary School opened last fall, parents have been concerned about children’s safety as they walk to school on busy streets without sidewalks. A committee has been formed in hopes of raising money to pay for trails to be built on major school walking routes. The committee has earned some grant money, but estimates it will need to raise another $100,000.

To help with the fundraising, Wellsville artist Mike Malm has donated his painting “Washington’s Prayer” to be auctioned, with proceeds going toward the trails. The 20-by-30-inch painting depicts George Washington praying at Valley Forge. People can bid on the painting from April 27 to May 18 at www.mendoncity.org.

Malm’s painting will be displayed at the Mendon Station during the city’s annual May Day celebration on Saturday, May 2. It will also be displayed at a school open house at Mountainside Elementary the evening of Thursday, May 7. Both events will also fea-ture photos and other art for sale by other local artists.

To view Mike Malm’s artwork, visit www.mikemalm.com.

USU PHYSIOLOGIST and pre-med advisor

Andy Anderson will pres-ent “Matters of the Heart” at 7 p.m. Friday, April 24, in the Eccles Science Learning Center audito-rium as part of Science Unwrapped, a free monthly presentation series hosted by USU’s College of Sci-ence. Attendees can sign up to dissect pig hearts following the presentation. For more information, visit www.usu.edu/science /unwrapped or call 797-3517.

“We’ll explore the struc-ture and anatomy of the heart, as well as common ailments that attack this vital organ,” said Ander-son, pre-med advisor and principal lecturer of human anatomy, physiology and human dissection in the USU biology department.

During his talk, Ander-son will literally “unwrap the heart” by dissecting the

heart of a pig — an organ similar in size and struc-ture to the human heart. Following his talk, attend-ees will have the opportu-nity, on a first-come, first-served basis, to dissect pig hearts with assis-tance from Anderson and his team of under-graduates. A sign-up sheet for dissections will be available in the lobby of the Emert Auditorium prior to Anderson’s talk. Children age 9 and older may participate in the dis-section lab.

Educational displays about the heart’s anatomy and study in USU’s College of Science will follow the presentation. Light refresh-ments will be served.

THE BRIDGER FOLK Music Society will present Celtic harpist and storyteller

Patrick Ball in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 24, in the Eccles Con-ference Center auditorium at Utah State University. Tickets will be available at the door for $18 ($16 for students). Advance tickets for $16 can be purchased at Sunrise Cyclery, KSM Guitars and the USU Spectrum ticket office.

Patrick Ball is one of the premier Celtic harp players in the world and a captivating spoken-word artist. He has recorded seven instrumental and three spoken-word albums, which have sold more than 500,000 cop-ies internationally and won national awards in both the music and spo-

ken-word categories.Along with “Celtic Harp and

Story,” his beguiling blend of music and spoken-word concerts, Ball has written and currently performs two acclaimed solo musical theater pieces: “O’Carolan’s Farewell to Music,” which brings to the stage the legendary life, turbulent times and glorious music of Ireland’s most celebrated and beloved musi-cian, Turlough O’Carolan; and “The Fine Beauty of the Island,” a musi-cal journey to Ireland’s legendary Blasket Islands in search of a deeply haunting tune and the vanished islanders who played it.

L ogan High School will pres-ent “The Curious Savage” by

John Patrick at 7:30 p.m. April 24, 25 and 27 in the Logan High auditorium.

The play centers around Mrs. Ethel Savage (Sara Ackerman), who has been left $10 million by her late husband and wants to make the best use of it — in spite of the efforts of her grown-up

stepchildren (Michael Francis, Tasha Bush and Brad Rasmussen) to get their hands on it.

Eventually the children commit Ethel to a sanitarium to “bring her to her senses.” While there, Mrs. Savage meets the staff and other guests of the Cloisters (Erica Hale, Luke Monday, Emily Lyons, Conner Nesbitt, Haley Manning, Lily Eiman and Ashley

Ward), who help her to see the world through their eyes as they also help carry out her plans to save her inheritance.

This comedy leaves the audi-ence with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems moti-vated at times only by greed and dishonesty.

Check out these plays, both opening this weekend

The Heritage Theatre will pres-ent “The Women,” written by

Clare Booth Luce and directed by Ross T. Reeder, at 7:30 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Monday April 24 through May 16, with a matinee scheduled for 2 p.m. Sat-urday, May 2. Tickets are $9 for adults and $8 for seniors and chil-dren. For reservations, call 435-723-8392. The Heritage Theatre is at 2505 S. Highway 89 in Perry.

“The Women” is a sort-of “Des-perate Housewives” set in the late 1940s, complete with deceit,

infidelity, back-biting and cat-fighting. Playwright/author Booth wrote the original play in 1937 after listening in on the gossip and conversations of women at the beauty salons, tea rooms, restau-rants and nightclub restrooms of the 1930s. This is a fictional story of the lives of socialites, actresses and countesses and how their lives are intertwined in lies, deceit and infidelity among a group of friends.

The show is set in New York and Reno, Nev. The group of

friends includes the lead roles of Mary, the jilted wife, played by Melissa Jones; Sylvia, her not-to-be-trusted friend, played by Ann Reeder; the naive newlywed, played by Janica Owen; the ever-pregnant Edith, played by Rachel Carling; and the cynical virgin, Nancy, played by DeLicia Leach.

It is recommended that chil-dren younger than 12 not attend; children 3 and younger will not be admitted. For more informa-tion, visit www.heritagetheatre utah.com.

“Fighting”Rated PG-13★★ Channing Tatum has the proper presence as a bruiser rising to stardom in New York City’s underground fighting cir-cuit, yet he, Terrence Howard and their cast mates are stuck in a dull, cliche-sodden drama during the many moments when someone’s fist isn’t connecting with someone else’s jaw. Direc-tor Dito Montiel’s followup to his debut, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,” has a tired, old premise as an underdog (Tatum) finds a wise but down-and-out mentor (Howard) to take him to the big time and a nice, new girl-friend (Zulay Henao) to lend him emotional support. Yo, Rocky! The forgettable script drowns in boring dialogue, including incoherent monosyllabic scenes where Tatum and Howard seem to engage in a mumbling duel. But you don’t go to see a movie called “Fighting” for the patter. You go for the fisticuffs, and Montiel delivers with some nasty bare-knuckle rows that should satisfy fans’ bloodlust. But while Tatum has an impressive phy-sique, he’s so clearly outclassed by the skilled boxers and mar-tial-arts experts he goes up against that his success creates a serious credibility gap for the movie. PG-13 for intense fight sequences, some sexuality and brief strong language. 105 min.

“Obsessed”Rated PG-13(N/A) A review for “Obsessed” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.RottenTomatoes.com: “Idris Elba of ‘The Wire’ stars in this thriller as a man who seems to have a perfect life. He is married to Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) and he has just earned a promotion at work. But destruction looms when a pretty temp (Ali Larter of ‘Heroes’) grows a little too fond of him.” PG-13 for sexual mate-rial including some suggestive dialogue, some violence and the-matic content. 91 min.

“The Soloist”Rated PG-13★

1⁄2 Inspiring, relevant and real, the story of Nathaniel Ayers

— a schizophrenic but wildly talented Juilliard-trained cellist living on the streets of downtown L.A. — captivated Los Angeles Times readers in 2005. The fact that columnist Steve Lopez didn’t just ignore him like most people would — that he not only spoke to Ayers but befriended and wrote movingly about him — added to the unexpected humanity of the tale. “The Solo-ist” takes all those innately engaging details and turns them into what is essentially a made-for-Lifetime movie, albeit one populated by Oscar winners and nominees. Robert Downey Jr. stars as Lopez, with Jamie Foxx playing opposite him as Ayers. Wunderkind Brit Joe Wright

(“Pride & Prejudice,” “Atone-ment”) is the director, working from a script by Susannah Grant (“Erin Brockovich”). On paper, you can see how this project had major promise (and it was initially scheduled to come out at the height of prestige-movie sea-son last year, only to be bumped to pre-summer). In execution, it’s an awkward mix of gritty city visuals and mawkish sentiments in which even actors the caliber of Downey, Foxx and Catherine Keener seem to have had dif-ficulty finding nuance. PG-13 for thematic elements, some drug use and language. 116 min.

009 Film

New this week

“The Great Buck Howard”Rated PG★★ No amount of psycho-logical manipulation from John Malkovich can make us believe this lightweight com-edy is as poignant or profound as it aspires to be. Malkovich completely goes for it here as the film’s titular mentalist — don’t call him a magician — a role that allows him to luxuriate in his off-kilter, theatrical diva persona. But it’s in the service of a rather facile, softhearted satire about this business we call show. Long past his prime, Buck still regales anyone who will listen with tales of appear-ing on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” (61 times!) even though these days he’s performing feats for half-empty auditoriums in Bakersfield, Calif., and Akron, Ohio. (Regardless of the city, he arrives with the hearty proc-lamation, “I love this town!” and an even more enthusi-

astic handshake, a repeated gag which isn’t particularly funny the first time.) He’s got the spiel down to a science by now, but he needs a new road manager and personal assistant. Law school drop-out Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) answers his ad in hopes of gaining the life experience he needs to become a writer and gets swept up in Buck’s sad, kitschy vortex. Writer-director Sean McGinly relies too heav-ily on voiceover from Hanks to make observations that should be pretty obvious: “He was cheesy and there was no denying that, but he also had a sort of timeless charm that the audience really seemed to love.” But things perk up when Emily Blunt arrives as a publicist assigned to help Buck promote a mysterious new trick in Cincinnati. PG for some language including suggestive remarks and a drug reference. 87 min.

New this week at the Art Cinema!

IT’S FUNDAMENTAL, cycle-of-life stuff that hap-pens all day, every day,

year-round, worldwide.Seasons change. Animals

give birth and die. They migrate to find food. Some are hunters, some are hunted. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly — sunrise, sunset.

But all these basic, familiar occurrences are photographed and edited with such striking scope, clarity and ingenuity in the documentary “Earth,” you’ll feel as if you’re learning about them for the first time. And for the children who are the tar-gets of much of this material, “Earth” offers colorful entertain-ment with, thankfully, a not-too-heavy-handed message about the perils of climate change.

The debut from the Disney-nature label, directed by Brits Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, follows three species of mothers and babies over a year — polar bears in the Arctic, elephants in Africa’s Kalahari Desert and humpback whales near the Equator — with a vari-ety of wondrous creatures mixed in between. Narrator James Earl Jones provides the necessary gravitas to accompany these majestic images, and the score composed by George Fenton and performed by the Berlin Philhar-monic Orchestra is appropriately sweeping and grand.

Many of the aerial shots — of sand dunes and waterfalls, of caribou traveling across the tundra or birds taking flight against a bold sunset — will take your breath away. Yet the more intimate images will make you wonder, “How’d they do that?” Some behind-the-scenes

footage accompanies the clos-ing credits, so stick around, but there could have been another entire documentary devoted to the filmmakers’ struggles and achievements. Hopefully that’ll appear on the DVD.

A great example comes early, when a mother polar bear emerges from her den followed by her two cubs, who are seeing the outside world for the first time. With their furry paws and curious snoots, they stumble as they take their first hesi-tant steps on the silent snow. Irresistibly cute — until Jones informs us that it’s likely one of these little guys won’t be alive in a year because warmer tem-peratures have made it harder for them to find nourishment.

Yes, “Earth” can be as har-rowing as it is beautiful, in the classic Disney tradition of fright-ening us with stories of animals

in danger. One impossibly long tracking shot follows a caribou calf that gets separated from the herd and ends up being chased by a ravenous wolf. On and on it goes, across vast expanses and up and down hills. We won’t tell you how it ends, but suffice it to say it’s thrilling.

At the same time, some of the most gorgeous scenes are also the simplest. Time-lapse photog-raphy reveals an entire year of

season changes over a matter of seconds. Exotic birds of paradise in unreal colors strut their stuff.

It’s all rapturous and amusing and enlightening enough without voiceover adding unnecessary anthropomorphism to the ani-mals’ activities. As the young polar bears — now grown

— forage on their own at the film’s end, Jones intones: “Their father’s brave spirit will always live on in their hearts.” Really? How do we know? The tech-nique gets a little cloying — and, if you really want to be uptight, it seems arrogant — although, understandably, it’s intended to make the movie’s lessons more accessible for little ones.

That’s a minor complaint, though, about a film that oth-erwise has a major visual and emotional impact.

“Earth,” a Disneynature release, is rated G. Running time: 89 minutes.

This is ‘Earth’ — and it’s spectacular

★★★ 1/2“Earth”Rated g

Aisle Seat By The Associated Press

Danene Dustin wanted nothing — nothing! — more on her trip to the Amazon rainfor-

est than to hold a monkey, her all-time favorite pet-I-would-choose-if-I-could-really-have-one.

Yet when she finally got a chance to play with one, courtesy of a fam-ily living in a house built on stilts to avoid seasonal flooding, Martin the squirrel monkey chewed on her arm like a starving man going after an ear of corn. Luckily the bites didn’t break the skin, and neither being chomped by a monkey nor bug bites that left welts for weeks nor an encounter with a deadly fer-de-lance could diminish Dustin’s enjoyment of her trip.

As program coordinator for the Honors Program at Utah State University, Dustin was at a confer-ence in San Antonio last year when she was introduced to the City as Text program, a style of teaching based on active learning. Students immerse themselves in a loca-tion and culture to learn as much as they can experientially. When Dustin, who had served an LDS mission in Bogota, Columbia, and speaks Spanish, saw that the 2009 program was going to be held in the Amazon, her all-time favorite place-I-would-love-to-go-if-I-ever-got-the-opportunity, she knew she wanted in.

But such a trip would be expen-sive and mean time away from her family, as well as traveling alone

internationally. She mentioned it to her husband, Kevin, who replied, “You’re going.”

Which is how the North Logan mother of three came to spend eight days in the Peruvian rainfor-est last month. Even though Dustin had lived in South America and had seen Third World countries, she says this trip was nothing short of “life-changing.”

Compared to the lifestyle most Americans enjoy, she says, “You forget how the rest of the world has so little, and we get caught up in wanting stuff.”

Dustin says watching people in Peru spend long afternoons in a rocking chair and seeing how the children spent most of their lives outside playing marbles or soc-cer reminded her that “you can be happy with less,” although she was well aware of the hardships and poverty endured by many.

“People there seemed so content and happy with such a simple life,” she says. “It’s not the tangible things, the big house, the nice car, the newest gadgets, that bring hap-piness.”

The program, called The Amazon Institute: The Rainforest Frontier, threw Dustin together with five strangers from other schools and required that they venture well off the beaten path. As a result, par-ticipants went to villages that are rarely visited by tourists. In a typi-cal assignment, on their first day — after flying in to Iquitos, a city accessible only by plane or boat — Dustin and her roommate were told simply to “go to Punchana.”

They eventually found the city on the outskirts of Iquitos and spent the day interviewing the locals about their work.

Part two of the assignment was to meet with the other participants to discuss their various assign-ments. Each person was seeing the country from a unique perspective. For the biologist, for example, “everything was about bugs.” The geologist “was fascinated by rock formations.” As for herself, with a master’s degree in folklore, Dustin says, “I loved the people.”

Many of the 800 photographs she took are of villagers and their homes. Few of the Peruvians owned cameras, so they often came running when they saw hers.

“Families would gather their kids, bring out the pets and get in formation,” she says. One elderly man posed first with his Bible, then

with his walking stick and then with his machete, clearly showing off his proudest possessions.

On Day Two, Dustin dove into the Belén market, one of the world’s most vibrant, where she saw endless varieties of fruit dis-played alongside seafood, live ani-mals for sale and hanging raw meat of chickens, cattle and who knows what else.

“We didn’t do our assignments too well that day,” she admits, noting she was supposed to find a quiet corner to write about her observations but couldn’t pull her-self away from the spectacle. “That was one of the craziest days of my life. The mass of humanity, the smells ... they were selling every-thing from toucans to sloths to cattle skulls with the eyes left in.”

At the end of the day she gave away her Asics running shoes to

a woman who asked her to trade footwear, one of many chances she would have to barter. Dustin, who plans to run the Bear Lake Mara-thon this summer, had put the Asics to good use around the town plaza. She collected many an amazed stare, since having time to run for recreation is a clear sign of afflu-ence there.

On the following day the group left Iquitos and traveled by boat up the Amazon River to their tempo-rary home, a biological research station run by “Dr. Devin” of Florida International University. Here they took night hikes through the humid jungle, swam in the river — well, Dustin, who never got sick, swam; most of the Americans avoided the water — and took pictures of wild monkeys, snakes, frogs, hummingbirds, water buf-falo and other of the Amazon’s rich diversity of fauna. It was on a hike, fortunately during the day, that they encountered the fer-de-lance, which causes more deaths than any other American reptile. They snapped photos from a respectful distance and moved on.

“It was just like the movies,” Dustin says of the star fruit trees, the rickety, jury-rigged bridges, the coconut palms, the pink dolphins and even the pet anacondas.

Each morning Dustin would be the first up. She would hop in a kayak and glide through the hang-ing vines as a host of birds gave the morning a cacophonous salutation.

“It was just how I always dreamed it would be,” she says of the river. “It was so peaceful. I just

loved mornings in the kayak.”The Yagua Indians would come

to Dr. Devin to trade handmade crafts or baby snakes and caimans for medicine or money. A bottle of aspirin would fetch a hand-etched wooden bowl or beaded necklace, Dustin says, adding that D batter-ies, T-shirts and Blow Pops were also highly sought after by the locals. Most families kept pigs or chickens and relied on a diet of fish fresh-caught by their children.

“Every day I would say, ‘Today’s even better than yesterday,’” Dustin recalls. “This was so up my alley.”

All too soon the group was back in the boat for the 12-hour return to Iquitos, giving Dustin time to write about her experience and what she wanted to pass on to her students and her own children. At USU she will teach the Connections class next fall for incoming freshmen and plans to base her curriculum on City as Text. She even dreams of taking a group of high schoolers down to Peru to conduct research at Dr. Devin’s. At home, she has noticed her children seem more open to change and new experi-ences (even if her teenage son did turn up his nose at a couple dollars’ worth of lunch money last week because it was in coins instead of bills. Peruvian kids “would swoop that up in a heartbeat,” she steams).

Most of all, Dustin notices the change within herself.

“I want to seize every opportu-nity out there to learn about other cultures and lifestyles,” she says. “I want to take on any adventure that comes my way.”

Snapshots from the Amazon

Danene Dustin wanted nothing — nothing! — more on her trip to the Amazon rainfor-

est than to hold a monkey, her all-time favorite pet-I-would-choose-if-I-could-really-have-one.

Yet when she finally got a chance to play with one, courtesy of a fam-ily living in a house built on stilts to avoid seasonal flooding, Martin the squirrel monkey chewed on her arm like a starving man going after an ear of corn. Luckily the bites didn’t break the skin, and neither being chomped by a monkey nor bug bites that left welts for weeks nor an encounter with a deadly fer-de-lance could diminish Dustin’s enjoyment of her trip.

As program coordinator for the Honors Program at Utah State University, Dustin was at a confer-ence in San Antonio last year when she was introduced to the City as Text program, a style of teaching based on active learning. Students immerse themselves in a loca-tion and culture to learn as much as they can experientially. When Dustin, who had served an LDS mission in Bogota, Columbia, and speaks Spanish, saw that the 2009 program was going to be held in the Amazon, her all-time favorite place-I-would-love-to-go-if-I-ever-got-the-opportunity, she knew she wanted in.

But such a trip would be expen-sive and mean time away from her family, as well as traveling alone

internationally. She mentioned it to her husband, Kevin, who replied, “You’re going.”

Which is how the North Logan mother of three came to spend eight days in the Peruvian rainfor-est last month. Even though Dustin had lived in South America and had seen Third World countries, she says this trip was nothing short of “life-changing.”

Compared to the lifestyle most Americans enjoy, she says, “You forget how the rest of the world has so little, and we get caught up in wanting stuff.”

Dustin says watching people in Peru spend long afternoons in a rocking chair and seeing how the children spent most of their lives outside playing marbles or soc-cer reminded her that “you can be happy with less,” although she was well aware of the hardships and poverty endured by many.

“People there seemed so content and happy with such a simple life,” she says. “It’s not the tangible things, the big house, the nice car, the newest gadgets, that bring hap-piness.”

The program, called The Amazon Institute: The Rainforest Frontier, threw Dustin together with five strangers from other schools and required that they venture well off the beaten path. As a result, par-ticipants went to villages that are rarely visited by tourists. In a typi-cal assignment, on their first day — after flying in to Iquitos, a city accessible only by plane or boat — Dustin and her roommate were told simply to “go to Punchana.”

They eventually found the city on the outskirts of Iquitos and spent the day interviewing the locals about their work.

Part two of the assignment was to meet with the other participants to discuss their various assign-ments. Each person was seeing the country from a unique perspective. For the biologist, for example, “everything was about bugs.” The geologist “was fascinated by rock formations.” As for herself, with a master’s degree in folklore, Dustin says, “I loved the people.”

Many of the 800 photographs she took are of villagers and their homes. Few of the Peruvians owned cameras, so they often came running when they saw hers.

“Families would gather their kids, bring out the pets and get in formation,” she says. One elderly man posed first with his Bible, then

with his walking stick and then with his machete, clearly showing off his proudest possessions.

On Day Two, Dustin dove into the Belén market, one of the world’s most vibrant, where she saw endless varieties of fruit dis-played alongside seafood, live ani-mals for sale and hanging raw meat of chickens, cattle and who knows what else.

“We didn’t do our assignments too well that day,” she admits, noting she was supposed to find a quiet corner to write about her observations but couldn’t pull her-self away from the spectacle. “That was one of the craziest days of my life. The mass of humanity, the smells ... they were selling every-thing from toucans to sloths to cattle skulls with the eyes left in.”

At the end of the day she gave away her Asics running shoes to

a woman who asked her to trade footwear, one of many chances she would have to barter. Dustin, who plans to run the Bear Lake Mara-thon this summer, had put the Asics to good use around the town plaza. She collected many an amazed stare, since having time to run for recreation is a clear sign of afflu-ence there.

On the following day the group left Iquitos and traveled by boat up the Amazon River to their tempo-rary home, a biological research station run by “Dr. Devin” of Florida International University. Here they took night hikes through the humid jungle, swam in the river — well, Dustin, who never got sick, swam; most of the Americans avoided the water — and took pictures of wild monkeys, snakes, frogs, hummingbirds, water buf-falo and other of the Amazon’s rich diversity of fauna. It was on a hike, fortunately during the day, that they encountered the fer-de-lance, which causes more deaths than any other American reptile. They snapped photos from a respectful distance and moved on.

“It was just like the movies,” Dustin says of the star fruit trees, the rickety, jury-rigged bridges, the coconut palms, the pink dolphins and even the pet anacondas.

Each morning Dustin would be the first up. She would hop in a kayak and glide through the hang-ing vines as a host of birds gave the morning a cacophonous salutation.

LUCILLE HANSEN, recipient of this year’s Women Over 65 Life-

time Achievement Award, said during her acceptance speech: “This is probably the nicest thing that’s ever happened to me.” Every year, members of the Advisory Board to Utah State University’s Women’s Center select and honor women from the valley who have made a difference in the community and women’s lives.

The award ceremony took place in USU’s Taggart Stu-dent Center East Ballroom last week. Live background music performed by pianist Moragh Morrison and cellist James McWhorter played while sup-porters gazed at murals high-lighting past award recipients. A table also displayed pictures and artifacts about Hansen’s accomplishments and life. After a welcome and intro-duction by board members, Hansen spoke to an audience of friends, board members, family and supporters of the Women’s Center. After gifts of flowers and a silver frame were presented, a buffet of chicken sate, quiche, egg rolls, cake and cookies, punch and coffee finalized the ceremony.

According to a statement made on the Women’s Center Web site, the Lifetime Achieve-ment Award “counters society’s emphasis on youth in America and educates that people live very active and productive lives in later years.”

This is definitely true of Lucille Hansen. At 74, she still coordinates and runs the Noon Tabernacle Summer Concert Series and the Christmas concert series she established seven years ago.

But the tabernacle concerts are only one of many accom-plishments for Hansen — she has also raised four children

as a single mother and is the proud grandmother of 17 and great-grandmother of three, with one more on the way.

During the introduction, Camille O’Dell, an advisory board member, said Hansen’s son e-mailed the following: “When I think of Mother, I think of someone who made a difference to a lot of people; she makes you feel good about yourself just by being around her. She’s the most selfless, generous person I know.” A sister described Lucille as “a sparkler on the Fourth of July”; another sister called her “a Logan treasure.”

Hansen’s “sparkler” person-ality and humor shone through during her acceptance speech as she described herself as a “social butterfly”: “I’d flit around and visit people and my mother didn’t always know where I was,” she said.

Hansen said she chose to go to BYU because she saw a picture of the basketball team

in the newspaper and thought they were “so cute” and imag-ined how much fun it would be to go there. After her first term, her father clipped her butterfly wings a bit and told her he did not send her to BYU so she could just play — he told her, “If you want to do that, you can come home.” She then went to work and com-pleted her bachelor’s in ele-mentary education and music in 1957. She married and moved with her husband to Idaho Falls. For 10 years she stayed home with her children and then returned to teaching after a divorce.

As Hansen briefly sketched her life, she said her butterfly wings were clipped by her first marriage. She humorously thanked her ex-mother-in-law for finding her ex-husband a new wife so “he and his prob-lems could move on.”

“Life doesn’t always turn out the way you think as a Beehive Girl (the LDS

Church’s title for 13- to 14-year-old girls). For example, as a Beehive Girl, I never dreamed I’d be standing here receiving this award,” she said.

Twenty-three years after earning her bachelor’s degree, Hansen earned her master’s in education from USU.

“I have a huge thirst for knowledge and am always tak-ing a class,” she said. Even at 74, her education continues; currently she is enrolled in religious studies and LDS Institute classes.

Hansen taught in the public schools for 31 years and said, “I was a right-brained but-terfly. I like to have fun while I’m learning.” She said she felt it was her duty to travel and learn about all the cultures and places she taught about in social studies. She has visited six out of seven continents, has either judged or helped coor-dinate Utah’s Geography Bee for the past 21 years, and has been involved in UofU’s Mid-

dle East Outreach Programs. Before formally retiring from teaching in 1998, Hansen spent one year teaching in China at the University of Science and Technology (equivalent to the U.S.’s M.I.T.).

After returning from China, Hansen dealt with some health issues and worked as a tab-ernacle guide to slow down, which she really did not do; instead, she started giving tours that told about the his-tory of the tabernacle.

“I’d taught Utah history for many years so could tell a few stories about the tabernacle — and occasionally they were true, but they (visitors) never knew the difference,” she said.

In 2002 she decided the tabernacle atmosphere “was dead” and needed some “liv-ening up,” and that’s when she came up with her idea for the free summer noon concert series. In May 2002, Hansen got the approval to go ahead with her idea, giving her just three weeks to fill the approxi-mately 60 concert slots that were to begin June 1 and last all summer. Seven years of full concert series attest to its success.

“I’m really having a good time with this and like to involve as many people in the community and allow them to improve their talents,” Hansen said. “It’s really a win/win situation for the performers and those who get to hear the concerts.”

Hansen ended her speech saying she was “honored to be part of such a prestigious group of women.” Over the past 23 years, the Woman’s Center Advisory Board has honored more than 90 women from the valley and welcomes future nominations for this award.

Applications, a list of past recipients, and more informa-tion can be found at www.usu.edu/womencenter/involvement/.

Donny Osmond tickets are now on sale from USU!

THE JAZZ KICKS band, sponsored by the USU music

department and led by Larry Smith, will present a spring concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, in USU’s Manon Caine Russell-Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall. Admission is $5 for the general public and free for students.

For this concert, the Jazz Kicks Band will feature a number of compositions and arrangements by the bari-tone saxophonist and com-poser Gerry Mulligan. As a teenager, Mulligan arranged for bands in Philadelphia; he first gained national rec-ognition arranging for the Gene Krupa, Claude Thorn-hill and Elliot Lawrence

bands. In the late 1940s he wrote for and played in the Miles Davis nine-piece “Birth of the Cool” band in New York City.

Early in the 1950s he moved to Los Angeles to write for the Stan Kenton Orchestra. The pieces he wrote for Kenton became instant classics and are con-sidered to be some of the best recordings ever made by the Kenton group. While in L.A., Mulligan played baritone sax with a pianoless quartet that also included trumpeter Chet Baker. The quartet imme-diately became the most popular small jazz group in the U.S. He started winning readers and critics polls as the best baritone sax player and continued to do so for as long

as he lived. In the mid-1950s he led a sextet for a couple of years but returned to the quartet format again.

In 1960, Mulligan started his exciting Concert Jazz Band, a 13-piece band with great jazz soloists who toured North America and Europe for several years. He then returned to the quartet format. In the late 1970s he once again led a big band for a few years and won a Grammy award.

The Jazz Kicks Band’s spring concert will feature selections from Mulligan’s various incarnations: big band, quartet and sextet. All the band members will be featured as soloists in the program: Baritone saxophon-ist Jon Gudmundson has

numerous solos fulfilling Mulligan’s role in many of his pieces; Todd Fallis is bass trombone soloist on “Makin’ Whoopee”; guitarist Brad Wright and keyboard player Ryan Conger are soloists on Thelonious Monk’s “Round Midnight”; Karlee Heaps will sing “Why Don’t You Do Right” and “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To”; and Liz Woolley will sing “I Wish You Love” and “I Thought About You” with the band.

Jazz Kicks Band members also include Greg Wheeler, Tyler Whittaker, Larry Smith, Mike Reeder, Hal Briggs, J. Paul Ward, Grayson Osborne, Jason Gamer, Roger Kar-ren, Andrew Watkins, Sarah Houghton, Jim Schaub and Travis Taylor.
