FROM THE EDITOR The timing — and location — couldn’t be much better for the members of For Tomorrow We Die. In need of a place to put a concert on to celebrate the release of their first CD, the quartet didn’t have to look far thanks to the recent emergence of the Valley Event Center at 290 W. Main St. in Hyrum.

Allen Robbins, Rex Davis, Spencer Nielsen and Tycen Singler all graduated from Mountain Crest High School, and three of the four grew up right

in Hyrum.

“So, to be able to release our album right here in Hyrum means a lot to us,” Davis says.

Originally constructed in the mid1990s as Scooter’s Movie Theater, the large, white building on the west side of Hyrum most recently housed the Azteca Market and Reception Center. But the square structure sat vacant for a couple of years before Steve Parkinson and his son, Casey, purchased it.

Casey, who will serve as manager of the Valley Event Center, says that they originally didn’t know what they would do with the building.

“People would just drop by and ask

what our plans were, and we’d say, ‘What would you like us to do?’” Casey says.

“Almost unanimously, people said they’d like a reception center like was here before.”

Saturday’s show (see page 4) is the first of many concerts and parties and other events the Parkinsons hope to host at the refurbished Valley Event Center (call 9944579 for more information).

“We’re looking for any opportunity we can get,” Casey says. “We’re just really excited to bring all these events to people in Hyrum, and hopefully the rest of Cache Valley.”

For Tomorrow we rock

Local band helps open new venue Saturday

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

The four members of For Tomorrow We Die have been playing together for just over three years, and more than half of that time, the band has been working on putting together its first album.

Made up of Mountain Crest High School graduates now in their mid-20s, the group found the process a challenge thanks to things like school, careers, marriages and children.

“It’s pretty tough to try and be a grown up … and a rock star,” lead vocalist/ guitar player Allen Robbins declares with a laugh.

“I had no idea the amount of time that it takes to put an album together. Not just writing, but the studio time and producing it.

“Overall, it took close to two years just because of scheduling and because recording takes forever.

It’s a lot of work.”

But after all those months of hard work and scheduling conflicts, For Tomorrow We Die is finally ready to officially release “A Life Worth Living” at a concert Saturday night at the Valley Event Center in Hyrum. Formerly the home of Scooter’s Movie Theater and Azteca

Market and Reception Center, Robbins also remembers when the large building at 290 W. Main St. was known as the South Valley Center.

“When I was younger, bands used to be play here, and I always wanted to play here,” explains Robbins, one of three Hyrum natives

in the band. “But by the time I could play, the building was vacant. So, I’m really excited to play here.”

In addition to For Tomorrow We Die, five other local bands will perform Saturday: Call Me Dreamer, Tr3ason, September Say Goodbye, Wretched Bones and False Witness. The doors to the Valley Event Center will open at 6 p.m.

with the first band taking the stage at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets for the show can be purchased in advance at KSM Music for $8, and those ticket stubs can be redeemed for a free copy of “A Life Worth Living.” Tickets at the door will cost $10 and will not include a CD. Saturday’s show will actually be the first that For Tomorrow We Die has performed since June, when the band played at Warped Tour See ROCK on Page 12

Pet: Waylon From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Hi there.

I am one of 10 siblings that were brought here from Ogden. We were part of a hoarding case that forced our owner to surrender us. I couldn’t be happier to be here at the Cache Humane Society. I enjoy playing with my new friends and siblings. I also have never gotten to run free outside and am loving it. I hope to find a new home soon, so I can continue to learn new things.

I haven’t had any formal training, but am responding really well to getting onto a schedule. Come meet me, and the staff will be happy to help you learn more about me. Call 792-3920.

The Cache Valley Center for the Arts is proud to announce that the internationally acclaimed Imago Theatre will be bringing it’s family hit “ZooZoo” to the Ellen Eccles Theatre at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28.

Imago’s shows have been described as Cirque Du Soleil-evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a unique, yet accessible, French-influenced avantgarde playground. “ZooZoo” is penguins playing musical chairs, a cat trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos with insomnia, anteaters as waiters and a madcap revue of illusion, comedy and fun that has inspired audiences nationwide. Imago has performed in China, Europe and at some of North America’s most revered festivals.

“We are thrilled to extend our regular age limits for this show to include children ages 3 and up,” said Wally Bloss, Executive

The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with Moors & McCumber at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 19, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West.

James Moors and Kort McCumber are an acoustic duo that craft beautiful story songs that walk the line between rootsy folk and melodic pop. The two songwriters met at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in 2005. Sitting around a campfire swapping songs, they each heard something in the music of the other that just fit. The two have been performing and writing together ever since.

Having collectively sold more than 15,000 copies of independent releases from the stage, the duo has now released two of their own full-length albums.

Tickets for the show are $13 and are available via PayPal at www. bridgerfolk.org, by calling 757-3468, or by taking your chances at the door. Seating is

Maybe a bit of the movie’s blandness can be traced back to its extensive reshoots.

The original version of the movie had already filmed a sequence where a theater full of innocent people is shot up by some of Cohen’s men.

“Gangster Squad” is all guns and no substance.

It’s an overly stylized gangster picture that takes the “Ocean’s Eleven” formula and applies it to an ultra-violent version of “Dick Tracy.” It’s slick looking and full of shootouts and one-note characters. Basically, everything you’d expect from a January movie.

Even though the beginning of the film indicates that this movie is based on a true story, there’s nothing real life about it.

Everything that HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” gets right about the gangster genre, “Gangster Squad” gets wrong. At no point does it attempt to dissect its varied characters.

Instead the bad guys scowl and hate, while the good guys are driven by heroic bravado and we’re left to watch as they shoot it out in overly stylized slow-mo.

Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) is the classic all-American hero type. He’s bound by duty and responsibility and is appalled at the way gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) has taken over Los Angeles. O’Mara greets us with the standard voiceover narration to set the scene and his no nonsense character’s motivations. Cohen has become far too powerful, though.

His organized crime syndicate has grown rapidly. He now has judges, police chiefs and patrolmen on his payroll. He’s untouchable.

But there are a few distinguished cops that can’t be bought. The police chief, played by a hoarsely grizzled Nick Nolte, assigns O’Mara to take care of Cohen and his gang, “Off the books.”

Meaning they won’t need police badges or warrants.

CENTER OF ATTENTION

Full slate of winter classes under way at Cache Valley Center for the Arts A new term of art education classes began at Cache Valley Center for the Arts this week.

The community classes range from creative drama and creative movement to digital photography and wheel throwing.

There is “a little bit of something for everyone,” said Andrea DeHaan, arts education coordinator at Cache Valley Center for the Arts, or CVCA. Classes are offered for ages 3 to adult. Classes at the center — including those led by organizations like Unicorn Theatre, E.A. Art School and Valley Dance Ensemble — focus on drama, dance, computer art instruction and visual arts, which includes painting, drawing and ceramics.

DeHaan said the education programs offer a venue to artists, and are also a good opportunity

for parents who want “to keep their children enriched and involved after the school day is over or during the summer.”

During any one term, CVCA typically offers about 40 classes, DeHaan said, and the number of participants can range from 150 to 400, depending on the time of year.

She said one of the popular classes this term is digital photography — the beginning digital photography class filled so quickly, they had to create a second session.

DeHaan said the ceramics room at the Bullen Center is always buzzing with activity: “It’s definitely one of our most popular programs.”

Beth Calengor is the director of ceramics at CVCA. She has been teaching ceramics in the

same room at the Bullen Center for years.

“I just really love pottery,” Calengor said. “I really love that you start with just something from the earth and, working with the clay, it becomes something.”

Calengor teaches techniques including hand building, slab work, rolling coils and wheel throwing, which she said is probably her favorite.

In 2010, Cache Valley Center for the Arts merged with Alliance for the Varied Arts, DeHaan said. “At that time, we inherited a lot of programs and since then we’ve branched out,” she said.

Classrooms are located at the Bullen Center and Thatcher-Young Mansion in Logan.

For more information about CVCA, visit www. cachearts.org.

STORY BY ARIE KIRK • PHOTOS BY JOHN ZSIRAY

The year 2012 was mainly a brain freeze for me. I spent most the time in disbelief that we were not smote by some higher power that had become annoyed by our behavior. I was counting on the Mayans, but that fell through. I imagine some omniscient being slapping us like a puppy nipping at its heel: Look at me, look at me; I’m cute aren’t I? Well, actually we aren’t. These are just a short list of things that were dull fingernails on my mental chalkboard this year.

Epic: I guess it is just the latest in the escalation of superlatives from groovy, hip, cool, hot, awesome to epic.

While I await the new anointed one, I nominate “craptastic!” That was a craptastic bowl game by Alabama Monday and an epic fail by Notre Dame.

excess, creating jobs is a poor indicator of national wealth. Wars create jobs, diseases create jobs and, of course, multi-billiondollar campaigns that end in only one winner create a bunch of temporary jobs for advertisers and that deep-voiced threatening narrator guy.

Lance Armstrong: As of this writing he has been stripped more times than a Las Vegas showgirl. I fully expect his thirdgrade teacher to come forward and strip him of the gold star he won for winning the 50-yard dash at recess. The state of Texas has proposed taking away

the blue ribbon he won for leathercraft at the state fair at age 10. Vatican officials confirm that one of the Pope’s first tweets will be the renunciation of Lance Armstrong’s baptism. This is all about riding a bike, right?

Bucket list: I’m getting to the age when compiling a bucket list sounds more dignified than just going nut-bag crazy on a mid-life crisis binge, but couldn’t we come up with a better analogy? Please just visit my Amazon.com wish list.

LOL: I actually heard someone say “LOL” — not the words that it stands for, just the letters as if they were verbally texting. It is another overused cliché to talk about signs of the end times, but this tells me that the machines have won and we can’t tell the difference between talking to each other in person and inputting to a computer.

RSVP is the new expletive: I actually think that people are becoming slightly more civil in response to all the recent tragedies, but somehow

we have become so inthe-moment that we cannot possibly commit to an event that is further than 12 minutes in the future. It looks physically painful when I ask people in person, so I resort to email and all the electronic invitation plug-ins and I still get virtual dancing in place and writhing to find an answer.

Global climate warming/change/whatever: OK, just for the sake of argument let’s say climate change isn’t all caused by human activity ... neither is a giant meteor coming towards Earth, but I bet we would rally the world to try to stop the meteor. Stop blaming, start doing.

I don’t want to sound like 2012 was an epic fail. On the bright side, I realized that if you never take down your Christmas lights, you never need to put them up again. Meditate on that.

Books Book sheds light on traditional societies Rasha Madkour Associated Press

What if, in trying to figure out the best way to lead our lives, we could conduct tests on the different methods?

According to author Jared Diamond, such trials are already taking place. In his new book, “The World Until Yesterday,” Diamond argues: “Traditional societies in effect represent thousands of natural experiments in how to construct a human society.

They have come up with thousands of solutions to human problems” — solutions, he points out, that are different from those adopted by modern, industrialized societies.

Diamond, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Guns, Germs, and Steel” and is a geography professor at UCLA, warns against romanticizing and idealizing the past, while encouraging readers to consider that some traditional practices may be a better fit for us. What follows is an extensive, textbooklike examination of issues ranging from conflict resolution to treatment of the elderly, language diversity to salt intake.

In a striking anecdote early on, Diamond relates the story of a New Guinean boy who was killed after darting in front of a minibus.

Through time-honored traditions, the driver (and his company) paid the boy’s family “sorry money” and participated in a “say-sorry” ceremony. Both sides took time

to talk — the driver’s boss said the food and money they were bringing were nothing compared with the life of the child; the boy’s father acknowledged the death was an accident. They then shared a meal together and shook hands at the end. Diamond contrasts this to the civil lawsuit and criminal charges that would likely be brought in the United States.

Allo-parenting — where a child’s regular caregivers extend beyond just the parents — is another area where tradition appears to trump modern practices, Diamond says. Grandpar-

ents, aunts, uncles, other adults and older siblings play pivotal roles in caring for children, providing diverse influences and sharing in the responsibility. Anthropologists are often struck by the “precocious development of social skills among children in those societies,” Diamond says, “and they speculate that the richness of allo-parental relationships may provide part of the explanation.”

Traditional practices can offer indirect lessons, too. Investors would be wise to take cues from the practices of Andean farmers, Diamond says.

Their scattered plots were deemed by outsiders “appalling” in their inefficiency, yet the farmers’ goals weren’t to maximize time-averaged yields. What good are nine productive years if the tenth year has no yield, putting them at risk of starvation? Their goal, then, was to make sure yields never drop below a certain level. The diffuse plots account for variation and unpredictability in crop yield from field to

field, year to year, Diamond writes. In the same vein, if you’re depending on your investments to pay current expenses, you need to settle for a lower yield in exchange for more security and stability.

The book is liberally peppered with personal anecdotes from Diamond’s various expeditions. He recounts one memorable incident where his New Guinean companions refused to sleep near a tall dead tree for fear it would fall

and kill them. Diamond thought they were being absurd. But as months of forest camping went by, he realized that he heard a tree falling almost every day. As such, if New Guineans spend much of their lives camping, it behooves them to take precautions with repeated low-risk activities because the hazard is cumulative.

The same can be said in modern societies with driving a car, Diamond argues.

While there is no short-

age of thought-provoking material in the book, it’s unclear whether a casual reader would have the patience to slog through some of the more mundane, drawn-out sections.

In a chapter looking at human violence, Diamond mentions that the Kung of southern Africa had 22 homicides in 49 years — then proceeds to detail each incident.

Still, Diamond’s style is a model of explanatory writing, and he delivers on his premise that the past is worth revisiting.

National Geographic photographer to visit USU Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts has partnered with the Journalism and Communication Department from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to co-host National Geographic photojournalist Lynn Johnson and human rights advocate Jen Saffron at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16, in the Performance Hall on USU’s campus.

Johnson and Saffron will host a discussion about their recent social documentary project in India, “Overcoming Religious Extremism in India: The Koraput Survivors Project.”

The project focuses on helping the Koraput survivors of religious sectarian violence in Odisha state, India.

In 2008, a group of armed Hindu extremists attacked and burned the Koraput village of

Christian Indians, seeking to forcefully reintegrate the villagers into the caste system left behind by their Christian beliefs. The survivors fled into the Indian jungle to escape and now live as part of the Dalit — the untouchable class.

“I think as a journalist, it’s our responsibility to get us all to think about each other in different ways,” said Johnson. “I hope that what we are bringing to campus gets students to think about the many ways they can both witness and serve society.”

This is an excellent example of art serving the needs of society for more than just entertainment, said Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts.

“The use of photography and journalism to tell a story touches the heart of people for change,”

“That was the last show we played together,” says Rex Davis. “It’s been a while. We’ve just really been focused on finishing the album.”

In addition to Robbins and Davis, who provides the screaming vocals for the band, For Tomorrow We Die includes bassist/keyboardist Tycen Singler and drummer Spencer Nielsen. The group also played on the Warped Tour’s stop in Utah in 2011, but Davis says the second time around was far better.

“The crowd response we got this time was just overwhelming,” he explains. “The first year, we were pretty nervous and they had us start playing before the gates even opened.

But this year, we started playing just as Mayday Parade’s show was ending, and their crowd just walked in front of us and stayed there.

“It was just crazy to be a local band, playing with bands that we loved in high school. And to have that kind of crowd in front us was a really cool experience. I think it’s the funnest show we’ve ever played.”

Davis adds with a smile, “That Warped Tour show will probably be

Jessop said.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but when talking about human need and pain, that old cliché is especially true, said Matthew LaPlante, assistant professor in the Journalism and Communication Department.

“A picture makes the need and pain so visceral that it catches the attention. I think this presentation will inspire students and illustrate the power of photography.”

Johnson is a photojournalist with more than 35 years experience and many credits in “National Geographic” and “Sports Illustrated.” She is also an educator for National Geographic’s Photo Camps, training photojournalists living in countries that include Haiti and Chad. While on assignment for the National Geographic Lynn Johnson took this portrait of Anil, who was tortured in India, she discovered the Kora- and beaten for eight hours in India because of his commitment to being a Christian. put survivors.

though, and many of the lyrics might be rather surprising to anyone who really listens. Three of the four members are returned LDS missionaries, and Robbins says, “You can definitely see our LDS influence in there. There are some references but not a lot of people pay that much attention.”

“No one catches it,” Davis adds.

“Most people wouldn’t even think of it since it’s a heavier style of music.

They wouldn’t even consider us being as strong LDS as the band is.”

The band says most people consider their music to be “post-hardcore,” although they prefer to call it “popcore … because it’s pop and hardcore.”

While much of the band’s individual songs are melodic, it’s the screamer who delivers the group’s real bite and its metal edge. The lyrics for the majority of For Tomorrow We Die’s Tycen Singler is the bassist and keyboardist for For Tomorrow We Die. songs are written by Robbins and the one that when this is all said and Three of the band’s songs can also Davis before the rest of the band gets done, will really stick out.

Because of his military career, Verdine has lived and traveled along the East Coast, as well as Greenland, Mississippi, Alaska, Wyoming and California. He painted and showed in galleries in Maryland, but he began to paint “in earnest” when he moved to Cache Valley.
