The start of somethingArtist Gene Needham

plans to transform vacant buildings into

art galleries

new

One of my favorite songs of all time is “Imagine” by John Lennon. I’m sure most of you

have heard it a mil-lion times, but if you’re like me, it never gets old.

I appreciate the lyrics longing for people to come together — to put religion and pos-sessions aside for peace. I especially love the chorus which mentions dreaming of the world as one.

Dreams come in all forms; trips to Europe, writing a book, opening a postcard business, learning to play the guitar and taking art and photography classes are a few of mine. For oth-ers, a dream come true may be own-ing a home, seeing their favorite band in concert, designing or constructing an amazing building, or winning the

famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Con-test.

For local merchant Gene Needham, one of his dreams is turning Logan into a place where artists can gather and display their work (page 8). It’s a lofty dream as he plans to complete major construction on some vacant buildings in town that will eventually become public art galleries.

One of the best things about art is it often brings people together in a way that other mediums can’t. It’s open for interpretation, it can reflect all kinds of emotion and show us the world in ways we never imagined before. It’s the same way a song can help us remember to dream. In the words of John Lennon:

“You may say I’m a dreamerBut I’m not the only oneI hope someday you’ll join usAnd the world will be as one.”

1All mixed up

The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with the bluegrass

band Town Mountain on Wednesday, July 27, at 7:30 p.m. at the Logan Arthouse, 795 N. Main in Logan. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 at the door and are available by calling 435-881-9076, or take your chances at the door. The con-cert is sponsored by Import Auto and Utah Public Radio.

You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again, “Town Mountain’s not your granddaddy’s bluegrass,” or “Town Mountain is a great traditional bluegrass band.” Fortunately both of these state-ments are true.

How do they maintain this sound? A lot of it has to do with influence. Everybody in the band brings their own unique musi-cal background to the table. Some of the boys grew up listening to classic country such as George Jones and Waylon Jen-nings, while others were paying attention to Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead. But at some point in time they all started

to expand their musical horizons. Some found jazz, some found punk, some found Americana, but it’s safe to say that all of them, at about the same time, either found or started to pay more attention to one of America’s oldest musical tradi-tions, bluegrass.

Now 10 years after this discovery the band is ready to plant their foot into it’s sixth year of existence. Starting back in 2005, the band won the prestigious Rockygrass band competition. That win kicked the band’s future into high gear, establishing the group as a force among American string bands. Their live show is not to be missed. You are now more than likely to see the band at major festivals across the country from the west coast, Yonder Mountain’s String Summit to North Carolina’s Merlefest and all points in between.

Musical influence, fine-tuned vocals, precision crafted instrumentalists, and charming stage presence are all ingre-dients in what makes a sound ... unique.

One more ingredient that is essential in producing this sound: new songs. Town Mountain has the capacity to bring fresh and exciting material to their high-quality music. With topics ranging from love lost and heartache to the weariness of a midnight drive across Americas heartland to politically charged topics that many musicians steer clear of. You will find that Town Mountain’s songwriting is heartfelt, sincere and honest.

This year Town Mountain has teamed up with Pinecastle Records to release their third album, “Steady Operator.” Now the band, more musically mature and honing in on a sound that suits them collectively as well as personally, is ready to show the acoustic music world that they are in fact on the cutting edge of old and new. A recognizable sound with youthful interpretation of a music that continues to evolve, this is bluegrass.

A little piece of Utah history will come to life in

Newton this weekend with six historic rock houses built in the late 1800s open for self-guided home and garden tours. Newton is off the beaten track, and is still a small farming com-munity, with a population of about 780.

The tour is being held for the benefit of the local Town Library. The library was established in 1999, with the small-town initiative of Cleo Griffin, a long-time New-ton resident, now in her 80s. Griffin grew up loving books, thanks to a neighbor whose liv-ing room served as something of a lending library in the small

town of Georgetown, Idaho.“I thought we ought to have a

library in Newton and decided to take it on as a project. My living room wasn’t big enough to house all the books we all needed,” Griffin jokes, “so I

talked the town into giving us space in the town hall. We got started with just a $50 check from the book club and one box

of books. Now we have about 23,000 books, audio books, DVDs, computers, the whole works!”

Sarah Rigby, the current library director commented,

“We’ve come a long way since our beginnings. The library

started in a small, unused class-room, and then moved into what used to be the town gym. Now we need to hold a sale every year to make space on our shelves.”

The library will be selling about 2,000 of its excess books and videos on Friday night and Saturday.

Roxanne Salisbury, the cur-rent chairman of Newton’s Library Board, is excited about the historic rock house tour because it will raise funds for the library, but also because she grew up in Newton and appreci-ates its history.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these old houses, which are Newton’s treasures. It is remarkable that so many of them are still stand-ing, lived-in, and well-loved by their owners and the townspeo-ple. I’ve heard the homeowners

plan to tell some stories about the lives of the people who built their houses, and about the trials and tribulations of restoring old houses,” Salisbury said.

The houses will be open from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. Tickets are $5 for adults (children under 12 are free) and available at Lee’s Marketplace in Logan and Smithfield, the

Newton Library in the Munici-pal Building, and the Newton Market, which is in the center of town. It is all part of an old-fashioned Pioneer Day celebra-tion that will include a picnic in the park, with the Newton Market, a historic store, and the only one in town, offering free refreshments to all ticket hold-ers for the home tour.

History comes to life in Newton homes

information about each house. But we found so many interesting stories about the early settlers that the book just kept growing,” said Woodward. Tickets for this self-guided tour are $5 and may be purchased at the Newton Market, Lee's Market Place, The Cache Valley Visitor’s Bureau, or the Newton Town Library during regular library hours. Tour booklets are $2 and may be purchased at ticket locations or at any of the open houses. For more information, or to purchase tickets by mail, call 435-563-3654 or go to http://pioneerrockhouses.blogspot.com.

A Map of the town and the house on the tour follows.

Verao Jazz Combo will perform delightful jazz standards, with tunes seasoned with Brazilian and Venezuelan rhythms, as well as gypsy swing and ragtime. Verao Jazz Combo is made up of five talented musi-cians: Eliza Done, David Done, Rick Langenheim, Devin Seamons and Ben Williams.

Irish Dance Academy An Tus Nua in Logan, is Cache Valley’s only certified Irish dance school. An Tus Nua Logan continues the tradition of the traveling Irish dance masters of the 19th century, teaching both traditional and contem-porary Irish dance under the auspices of An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha, the Irish Dance Commission in Dublin, Ireland.

Don’t miss out on the last two weeks of Utah

State University's Old Lyric Repertory Company’s summer season with its four entertaining stage productions at the historic Caine Lyric Theatre in down-town Logan.

Led by artistic director Den-nis Hassan, the Old Lyric Rep-ertory Company (OLRC), is a professional theater program based in the theatre arts depart-ment in the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State.

“We have already had a fan-tastic season with four strong shows and are excited to finish it off with a bang,” said Hassan.

This summer features “The 39 Steps,” “Little Shop of Hor-rors,” “See How They Run” and “Amadeus.” Plays run until Aug. 6.

“The 39 Steps” is an adapta-tion of the classic Hitchcock

spy story and a Cache Valley premiere. Four actors portray dozens of characters in this classic murder mystery. The production runs July 29 and Aug. 4. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. nightly with an addi-tional 2 p.m. matinee Aug 4.

A Lyric favorite, “Little Shop of Horrors,” is this year’s comedy-horror musical. The main character, Seymour Krel-born, hits a streak of luck when he discovers a strange and interesting plant that takes him on an exciting and dangerous adventure.

“Little Shop of Horrors” runs July 28, Aug. 3 and 5. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. with an additional 2 p.m. matinee July 28.

“See How They Run,” writ-ten by Philip King, is a British farce at its best, complete with slamming doors, mistaken iden-

tities and, of course, missing trousers. The production runs July 26, Aug. 2 and 6. Perfor-mances begin at 7:30 p.m. with an additional 2 p.m. matinee Aug. 6.

Fitting with the Caine Col-

lege of the Arts Summer Music Institute’s emphasis this year that features the composer Mozart, The Old Lyric Reper-tory Company presents “Ama-deus,” written by Peter Shaffer.

The play runs July 27, 30 and

Aug. 1. Each night’s produc-tion begins at 7:30 p.m. with an additional 2 p.m. matinee July 30.

Tickets for OLRC produc-tions can be purchased by visiting the Caine College of the Arts Box Office at Utah State University in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, open 9 a.m.-noon, Monday through Friday, by calling 435-797-8022 or online (arts.usu.edu). Tickets are also available at the Caine Lyric Theatre from 1-5 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday, and an hour prior to cur-tain on show nights. Individual ticket prices range from $18 to $25 for adults, $15-$21 for seniors and USU faculty and staff and $12-$18 for USU stu-dents and youth.

For more information on the OLRC’s 2011 season, visit its website (arts.usu.edu/lyric).

Summer theater program heads into home stretch

“Horrible Bosses”Rated R★★★This raunchy buddy comedy wallows in silli-ness — gleefully, and with-out an ounce of remorse or self-consciousness

— and even though you’re a grown-up and you know you should know better, you will be happy to wal-low right along as well. It’s a film that’s wildly, brazen-ly stupid — but also, you know, fun. Because like

“Bad Teacher,” “Horrible Bosses” knows exactly what it is and doesn’t aspire to be anything more, and that lack of pretention is refreshing. It isn’t trying to say anything profound about society or the economy or the fragile psyche of the post-mod-ern man. It’s about three guys who hate their jobs and want to kill their boss-es. And really, who among us hasn’t pondered such a plan? Naturally, no mem-ber of this trio is nearly as clever or sophisticated as he thinks he is. Together, they bumble and bungle every step of the way and occasionally, by accident, they get something right. But the dynamic between Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day as they bounce off each other is cheerfully loony, and the energy of their banter (which often feels improvised) has enough of an infectious quality to make you want to forgive the film’s general messi-ness. Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Anis-ton, as the titular bosses,

are clearly enjoying the freedom of playing such showy, inappropriate char-acters. 98 minutes.

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”Rated PG-13★

1⁄2 Director Michael Bay serves up another loud, long, bruising and wearisome onslaught of giant, shape-shifting robots. Bay tries to inject more flesh-and-blood consequence this time, but the human element arises largely from archi-val footage involving the 1960s moon race, along with images that may disturb younger kids as screaming, scrambling humans are vaporized by the ‘bots like insects in a bug zapper. In 3-D, too, so you get to wear those clunky glasses for the franchise’s longest movie yet. Puny humans Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro and Tyrese Gibson again are caught up in the war between benevolent Autobots and evil Decepticons, joined by new cast members Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Fran-ces McDormand, John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey. Leonard Nimoy provides the voice of an Autobot elder, his age-old, gravelly vocals proving the most human element in the movie. The visuals are dazzling, but Bay lets the battles grind on so long that the motion and noise turns numbing. 154 minutes.

“Friends with Benefits”Rated R★★

1⁄2 Director and co-writer Will Gluck (“Easy A”) has crafted a hyper, R-rated, postmodern rom-com that laments the genre’s saccharine falsehoods while ultimately falling prey to the clichés it strives to upend. The dialogue is snappy and the plot makes efforts for emotional realism, but the story is a familiar one: romantically exhausted friends (Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) try to forge a sexual relationship without emotion. They have terrific comedic timing and look great in bed together, but don’t have enough friction for real chemistry. Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins lead a strong supporting cast, but Gluck’s film is too smooth for the realism and mockery it seeks. Its best parody comes in a film within the film, a mock rom-com with Jason Segel and Rashi-da Jones. Easily superior to and far smarter than the earlier released “No Strings Attached.” 104 minutes.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

We’re now to the fourth comic book

superhero movie of the summer. It’s easy to see why superhero movies are such blockbuster fod-der. Big explosions, giant action set pieces, and an ingrained go-get’em American spirit. None more American than Cap-tain America himself.

World War II has just started. America, and the rest of the world, is at war with Hitler and his Nazis. While Hitler searches for “trinkets” of the occult another German Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) searches for true power. He finds a glowing cube in a church which apparently possesses the

“power of the gods.” How, why, or when this cube came to be so powerful is never explained. It’s a glowing cube for heav-en’s sake, what else do you need to know?

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is a scrawny nobody who’s been turned down for vol-untary military service numerous times. He has the heart of a lion, but the body of a 12 year-old. He’ll never be physically ready to fight. That is until he meets a scientist (Stanley Tucci) that takes a liking to him and volun-teers him for a super-sol-dier experiment. He goes into a pod, is strapped down, and after a couple minutes comes out with bulging biceps, chiseled abs, and he’s also grown a foot or two for good measure. Steve Rogers is now Captain America.

With most super-hero movies we learn that

“with great power comes great responsibility.” Rogers takes this respon-sibility to heart. He wants to help his country by any means necessary. The

sculpted body and super-human strength are only a means to an end for him.

“Captain America: The First Avenger” looks great. It’s bathed in a sepia tone much like “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” was. It’s defi-nitely fun to look at, but unfortunately that’s about it. The problem with the movie is that it feels too rushed — like it’s sprint-ing towards its conclusion so we can finally have an

“Avengers” movie. Hugo Weaving’s Red Skull is never given enough screen time to become real menacing. When the villain isn’t believable, or even all that scary, it’s hard to be invested. It’s difficult to feel a sense of dread when the villain isn’t given ample time to prove his malevolence. We never believe that Red Skull might succeed, because Captain America deals with him and his henchmen rather easily.

Captain America puts together his own band of soldiers that he uses to take down Red Skull and his armies, but we never

get to know them either. They spout a couple one-liners here and there, but it feels as if most of their scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Mon-tages fill up dead space where characterization should be. It’s tough to care for characters you hardly hear from. If a couple of them bite the dust, or in this movie’s case, get vaporized, no matter. There are other extras to populate the scenes with.

Seasoned actors like Stanley Tucci and Tommy Lee Jones know how to make the most of the small screen time they’re given; the younger actors don’t fair as well. The entire movie feels like a glossy sheen with more substance underneath trying to get out. Only the gloss is all you can see. The movie whisks by you, throws a few explosions your way, Captain America tosses his shield a few times,

smacks a few Nazis around, and presto – you have a superhero movie.

It is mildly fun to sit back and watch, but when compared to other comic

book movies like “The Dark Knight” or “Iron Man” (or even “X-Men: First Class” and “Thor” of this year) it’s lacking something. A human ele-ment that makes you care.

“Captain America” feels hurried and threadbare, but for anyone looking for a mildly pleasing action movie, this one is for you.

The Reel Place

By Aaron Peck

If you’re going to dream, you might as well dream big.

And local merchant Gene Needham is dreaming — dreaming of turning Cache Valley into an artists’ haven

through his latest venture, Logan Fine Art, currently known as The Art Center.

The center started as a collection of art supplies at The Book Table in downtown Logan, then spread to its own building, first on Main Street then to the old Everton build-ing at 25 W. 100 North about five years ago. Now Needham is relocating again, to the old Cinema 3 movie theater at 60 W. 100 North.

Needham, who has bachelor’s and mas-ter’s degrees in art, has had a “developing art interest” since 1973. Now in his 70s, he says he needs something to do, and has chosen to continue focusing on the growing art popula-tion in Cache Valley.

“I’ve been a merchant my whole adult life,” he says. And now he wants to “bring together the good artists we have in the val-ley.”

Combining those talents led to the creation of The Art Center, a place that provides class-rooms, open work space, framing supplies and services, art supplies and more. The new center will provide the same, but with a lot more room, including 5,000 open square feet for gallery space, plus two classrooms.

Needham’s hope is that his new venture will bring together and inspire local artists, both new and amateur. He says so many art-ists go “from finger-painting to sketching things … like dogs” then don’t know what to do next; he wants to help them find their own dream.

Many artists graduate from Utah State University then remain in the valley, he says, and he wants to give them a place to sell and display their work: “I’d like to create a league of artists that are associated with Cache Valley.”

The idea to expand is a new one. After he bought the old theater building last Novem-ber because it was “such a good price,” he said it took only four days to decide what he

wanted to do with it.With the help of recent art graduate

Michelle Larsen, Needham has been building on his new idea, both figuratively and liter-ally. Their to-do list includes a dozen items, such as hosting workshops; putting on art contests and competitions; hosting shows; providing school study programs; collaborat-ing with local high schools and art teachers; providing better art and framing supplies and services; publishing an art-focused newslet-ter; creating a community calendar; and host-ing his own high school art show. He even hopes Larsen will eventually become the val-ley’s “portfolio adviser” for budding artists.

Converting the old theater into a space fit for an art gallery hasn’t exactly been easy. Needham says he’s had to jump through hoops — from Logan city to the Cache Val-ley Historical Society — and is just now see-ing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Workers have leveled the theater floor and brought the building up to code; now they just need to finish the electric work, win-

dows, insulation and sheetrock. Needham hopes to have it finished in about a month.

If anyone can do it, though, it’s Gene Needham. He has been building and remod-eling buildings since 1968 and has owned 23 buildings just in downtown Logan.

The dream doesn’t stop here — Need-ham’s long-term plans include opening a fine art museum in the vacant building on Main Street near 300 North (another building he bought because he couldn’t pass up the great price). He says he “wants to see Logan develop its own fine art museum.”

If everything goes as planned, Needham will bring the famous Twyla Tharp quote to life for artists and residents who call Cache Valley home: “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.”

There’s a micron-thin veneer of trust that

keeps your life from falling apart. Every day you give a bank teller, a food server or a humming machine critical information, all the while trusting that it is some-how encrypted or the random human being looks official enough for you to trust.

Case in point: I go into the bank and deposit $1,213 of accumulated checks from my vast financial empire and ask for $60 cash back so I can maybe buy a can of Diet Coke and tank full of gas on the way home. The teller asks for my driver’s license and enters the entire driver’s license number before she can give me the three $20s. I question this heightened level of security and she says

“Well, you want us to be as careful as possible with your money don’t you?”

Well actually, no, I think to myself. I would like any and

everybody to deposit $1,213 in my account and only take out $60. I don’t even care if they are American citizens. After several months of this I could retire.

I know the teller was just following procedures, but the procedures don’t make sense. Security is an illusion. People complain about the Internet being insecure but then go into any restaurant anywhere, hand their credit card to a stranger who disap-pears for 10 minutes before coming back with a receipt.

The whole Rupert Mur-dock and Daily World News hacking people’s cell phones scandal just convinces me that nothing is really safe. I’m pretty sure that anything you have could be stolen at any time if there are enough people out there who don’t like what you are doing. It would probably drive you crazy if you spent much time thinking of all the ways your

personal information could be stolen.

Fortunately nothing is real out there anyway. There is very little tangible money being exchanged. In fact the government is suppos-edly sitting on $1 billion in one dollar coins that it can’t get people to spend because they are just too inconve-nient. They tried a program of mailing them to people postage-free but soon dis-covered that people were just charging them to their credit cards for the frequent flier miles and then immediately depositing the coins in the bank; repeat frequently until you have two free tickets to Hawaii.

I might as well write my passwords on my forearm with a Sharpie. The only problem is, I have enough passwords for three or four forearms. Some of them haven’t changed for 10 years while others I have to change

every six months. Some require numbers, letters and symbols while others prohibit tildes, at-signs and ampersands. Do you even know what those are on the keyboard? Then there are the security questions such as

“what was the name of your first pet?” The only problem is if your pet has a four-letter name that’s not acceptable on some site because they only accept five-letter or lon-ger answers.

Don’t try to keep it simple and memorable because sev-eral Internet businesses now ban passwords that are too easy to guess such as “pass-word” or “123456.” Don’t try to make it too cute because you might have to repeat and spell embarrassing pass-words such as “squeakypants” or “flufflebutt” if you need help from a live person run-ning tech support from India.

OUT ON THE TOWN

More than 400 people gathered for the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre fundraising gala event on July 15. The theme of the night was “Dickens’ Delight,’ and those in attendance enjoyed an English dinner buffet at the Riverwoods Conference Center. Musical selections were provided by Vanessa Ballam, Stefan Espinosa, Stephen Carey and a Charles Dickens read-ing was given by Mark Gollaher. After dinner the group made their way to Ellen Eccles Theatre to see “Oliver!” which was produced by Utah Festival Opera and Musi-cal Theatre and starred 11-year-old Jace Salcido as Oliver Twist and Michael Ballam as Fagan.

“You Know What?”

by Maddi Radford

If you think about it,

You can walk the streets of New York

And not feel alone.

You can play your bass in the street

And being the sui generis person you are,

Hum along. But even while stuck in your basement

Drinking that cold cup of coffee you have there,

You will never find out where you are

Unless you dare to play that bass.

Unless you dare to walk alone in New York.

Unless you dare to put that quarter

In the gumball machine,

Even though you’re twenty-one

And too old for Bubbalicious.

You have to try,

Because you know that someday

Everyone will leave

And you’ll be stuck listening to the radio

And the crickets outside your bedroom window.

By the way, the radio plays bass.

You can choose someday

If it will beYou.

“Pioneer Days”by William Humphrey

On Pioneer Days we remember,Those who crossed the plains.They blazed the trial to Utah,So remember their great names.

The journey wasn’t easy,It was so far to go.But with their faith and courage,They arrived, that we know.

From these heroes, of the past,We can learn, just what to do.And if we have faith and courage,We never need be blue.

So on this day remember,Our pioneers so true.And honor their memory,It is the thing to do.

* This week’s New York Times Best-seller List *

By Adam GoldmanThe Associated Press

When I first learned the title of a new book

that details a botched CIA operation in Afghanistan that claimed the lives of seven agency employees, I worried that the author hadn’t done his homework. But author, Joby Warrick of The Washington Post retells one of the worst intelligence debacles in the history of the CIA, an event that shook the spy agency to its core. He successfully tears back the curtain on how the CIA conducted the operation, with graceful writing and an eye for detail.

On Dec. 31, 2009, a young doctor named Humam al-Bala-wi blew himself up at the CIA base in Khost. His powerful bomb blast sprayed body parts across the compound. Not only did the base chief die but he also managed to kill al-Bala-wi’s Jordanian handler, who was a cousin to King Abdullah II. Six other CIA officers were wounded.

It was a major victory for al-Qaida and a stunning defeat for the CIA.

Warrick, who clearly got help from the CIA and the Jordanian General Intelligence Department (GID) to write his book, picks an unsympathetic vehicle to drive the narrative:

al-Balawi.Warrick’s gamble works.

He plunges into al-Balawi’s life. At first, it’s not clear how much value al-Balawi holds as a spy. He breaks quickly during his GID interrogation, but sur-prises his handlers and suggests he should go to the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan, where al-Qaida operatives are hiding.

The GID and CIA decide to take a chance. They have noth-ing to lose by sending him to Pakistan — if he dies, nobody would notice.

Warrick recounts what hap-pens in gruesome detail: The dead; the wounded; the car-nage. Later, the CIA exacted revenge. On the day one of the dead was buried, the CIA killed al-Yazid in a drone strike.

The book ends without Warrick fully exploring the aftermath. He doesn’t probe the thinking of the senior CIA officials who approved the fiasco, nor does he discuss why no one was held account-able. Why didn’t CIA Director Leon Panetta punish anyone? Because he was afraid of the hard-to-handle clandestine service turning on him? He certainly bought their line after the attack. Mistakes happen in this risky business. Turned out there were systemic failures, not mere mistakes. These were questions worth answering.

Still, Warrick tells a riveting tale. It’s a must-read for coun-terterrorism and spy junkies.

‘The Triple Agent’ is a fast-paced page turner

By Alicia RancilioThe Associated Press

Readers looking to draw parallels between

Katie Lee’s first novel, “Groundswell,” and her real life might be disappointed.

Yes, the book follows a pro-tagonist named Emma whose marriage to a celebrity falls apart. (Lee and singer-songwrit-er Billy Joel split in 2009 after five years of marriage.)

But Emma’s story is differ-ent. She catches the eye of actor Garrett Walker while working as a production assistant on one of his films.

Garrett pursues Emma, lav-ishing her with expensive din-ners, gifts and lots of attention. They marry, and life seems like a romantic movie until Emma catches Garrett in an affair. To get away from the paparazzi, Emma flees to Mexico, where she falls for her surf instructor.

It’s interesting to read about Emma’s transformation from an ordinary girl to the wife of

a movie star. And readers will sympathize with Emma when she realizes that her fairy-tale life wasn’t so perfect.

“Groundswell” is a good beach read and holds its own among chick lit.

Lee, who has made a name for herself as a TV personality and a chef, is also a pretty good storyteller.

Katie Lee’s ‘Groundswell’ is a good read for the beach
