The U.S. Navy Band Northwest’s
rock group Northwest Passage will
perform a concert in Boardman.
Senior Enlisted MUCS Roy
Brown, the group’s assistant director,
said the ensemble will perform a
variety of songs — from classic rock
and Motown to pop and country.
“They cover a variety of styles to
it a broad base of demographics of
where they perform,” Brown said.
“There’s so much good music out
there.”
The group’s repertoire includes
the likes of the Dave Matthews
Band, AC/DC, Journey, Red Hot
Chili Peppers, Boston and Lynyrd
Skynyrd, as well as current sounds
heard on the radio.
The free performance is Friday,
Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in the theater at
the SAGE Center, 101 Olson Road,
Boardman.
“We were so impressed by
the Navy Band last time they
performed,” said Kalie Davis,
SAGE Center manager. “This free
concert is a huge beneit to the
community and we hope everyone
will come out to enjoy the show.”
Brown said the group most
recently has been performing at a
Fleet Week event in San Francisco.
The concert in Boardman is a
perfect stopover on their way home
from those performances, he said.
Members of the ensemble,
which features ive performers and
a sound engineer, play with other
A trio of Wallowa County
writers will share their works in
the irst Fishtrap Fireside of its
fourth season.
Featured writers include
Elizabeth
Enslin,
Fred
Hauptmann and David Weaver.
Enslin is the author of “While
the Gods Were Sleeping: A
Journey Through Love and
Rebellion in Nepal,” a 2016
Oregon Book Award inalist.
She lives in a straw-bale house
and raises yaks, pigs and garlic.
Hauptmann’s memoir is “Damn,
I Shot My Horse.” He was born
in Germany in 1948 and his
family immigrated to Canada
when he was 5 years old and
later to the United States. His life
has been tumultuous, sometimes
cruel, sometimes funny, but
never boring. Weaver lives and
writes in Wallowa and this is his
irst reading at Fishtrap Fireside.
The event is Friday, Oct.
14 from 7-9 p.m. at 400 E.
Grant St., Enterprise. There is
no admission charge and light
refreshments are available.
The ireside also includes an
open mic for audience members
to share their stories. The
Fishtrap Fireside is the second
Friday of each month from
October through April.

SAGE Center in Boardman.
Navy musical groups. Navy Band
Northwest plays upwards of 400
performances a year, with North-
west Passage typically playing 100
engagements a year.
Navy musicians, Brown said, are
often busy between rehearsing and
performing. Whether it’s learning
new songs or brushing up on older
set lists, the musicians strive to be
the best they can.
“Being a musician is one of those
things that requires daily practice,”
Brown said.
The Eastern Oregon audience,
Brown said, are in for a real treat.
Most of the current Northwest
Passage ensemble has been
performing together for nearly two
years. While that might not seem
like a long time, Brown said Navy
ensembles often rotate members on
a yearly basis.
“They are really quite a good
ensemble with the time and experi-
ence they’ve had as that particular

Blunt appears in a scene from “The Girl on the Train.”
‘Girl on the Train’
doesn’t stay on the rails
By JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
ate Taylor’s “The Girl
on the Train” may
be technically set in
the Westchester suburb of
Ardsley-on-Hudson, but
its cocktail of commuter
trains, marital inidelity and
alcoholism make its proper
setting Cheever Country.
The unhappy, martini-
stained lives of New York
suburbanites have long been
a rich vein for writers like
John Cheever, Richard Yates
and Paula Fox. “The Girl
on the Train” is the trashier,
paperback version. Its
old-school title may suggest
Hitchcock or maybe Fincher
(who himself is remaking
Hitchcock’s “Strangers on
a Train”). But Taylor’s ilm,
disappointingly, is nowhere
near the league of either.
Instead, it’s closer to the kind
of early ‘90s psychological
thriller where bad things
happen in slow motion
and deadly instruments are
drawn from kitchen drawers.
It’s adapted from
Paula Hawkins’ popular
London-set novel, the
success of which was
predicated on comparisons to
Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,”
a trio of unreliable narrators,
all women, and the way it
cleverly untwisted female
clichés of domestic life:
the bitter divorcee (Rachel,
played by Emily Blunt),
the sexy “other woman”
(Megan, Haley Bennett) and
the unwitting wife (Anna,
Rebecca Ferguson).
They are each introduced
in their own chapter, but
our central igure is Blunt’s
boozy, devastated Rachel,
the so-dubbed “girl” who
by all appearances is
suspiciously like a woman.
She spends her days riding
the Metro North into and
out of New York, cursing
the suburban “baby factory”
while mini liquor bottles fall
off her lap. From the tracks,
she obsessively gazes at a
house where she spies who
she believes is the perfect,
impossibly handsome couple
(Bennett, Luke Evans).
From the train she
sees hints of an affair or
possibly a crime, and begins
T
“Girl on the Train”
★★☆☆
R, 105 minutes
involving herself like a
drunk Jimmy Stewart, on
the rails instead of conined
to a wheelchair. But the tale
adds another layer — an
incredulous one — to her
voyeurism. As it happens,
Rachel used to live a few
houses down, where her
ex-husband (Justin Theroux)
now lives with his current
wife (Ferguson) and baby.
The mystery kicks in
when Megan goes missing
— another girl, gone. Her
character is set up as a kind
of slinky femme fatale, who
is working as a nanny for
Anna down the street. In
scenes with her therapist, she
sounds like she’s plotting a
getaway. “I just can’t be a
wife anymore,” she says.
Through a boozy fog,
the blackout-plagued
Rachel believes she knows
something about the case.
She, herself, is a suspect
because of her frequent
creeping around her old
home and continuous phone
calls to her ex. On the night
in question, Rachel wakes up
mysteriously bloody.
Blunt can’t quite pull
off the famously dificult
task of believably playing
drunk; her slurred words and
blotchy face are overdone.
But it’s her steely presence
that gives “The Girl on the
Train” the veneer of a ilm
better than it is.
But Taylor isn’t able
to believably blend the
overlapping perspectives
and “The Girl on the Train”
comes across as a lat,
predictable puzzle whose
characters lip from one
extreme to another.
Dangerous fantasies
of marital bliss are at the
heart of “The Girl on the
Train.” There’s something
worthy beneath the pulpy,
preposterous plot that wants
to give redemption to some
old female stereotypes. But
Taylor’s ilm merely shifts
awkwardly from one trop
to another, like an uncertain
passenger changing trains.
