FROM THE EDITOR After ending up as second attendant in both 2012 and ’13, Karlie Major of North Logan won the top prize at the 2014 Miss Valley Pageant last Saturday night at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

The daughter of Stephanie and Jeff Major, Karlie is currently attending Utah State University and pageant director Debbie Peterson has high hopes for the brunette heading into the Miss Utah Pageant, which will be held June 16-21 in Salt Lake City.

“I think she’s gonna be in the Top 10, easy,” Peterson declared. “She’s so pre-

pared.”

Peterson has been involved with the Miss Cache Valley Pageant for more than two decades and has served as the director for past 11 years. She said she “had a feeling” this would be Major’s year.

“She’s just a beautiful young lady with a great platform, and she’s really matured these past few years,” Peterson explained, pointed out that Major went on a study abroad program last summer that had her visiting places like Paris and Croatia while teaching little girls how to dance.

This year, Major ended up being selected over 13 other young women while competing in talent, physical fitness, interview and evening wear categories.

Major’s first attendant is Courtney Mair, the daughter of Todd and Trudy Mair

of Paradise, and her second attendant is Rosie Nguyen of Logan.

In addition, the 2014 Cache Valley Outstanding Teen was also selected at the pageant. That honor went to Emily Robinson, daughter of Janette and Justin Robinson of Paradise, and her first attendant is Hope Clements, the daughter of Mark and Nancy Clements of North Logan.

“Karlie and Emily have already got together to talk about how they go into local schools together to share their platforms,” Peterson said.

If you’re interested in having any of this year’s royalty make an appearance at a function, you can contact Peterson at misscachevalley@hotmail.com.

all mixed up Seeking Bear River scenes Photos wanted for upcoming BRWC exhibit

CVCB to perform ‘Sleeping Beauty’

The Bear River Watershed Council has issued a call for entries for its upcoming “Radiant or Ravaged” photo exhibit on the Bear River watershed.

“We are asking photographers to search through their work and get out and take images that portray the radiant beauty or ravaged impacts of the watershed and submit them for an exhibit in April,” says Dan Miller, chairman of the BWRC board. “We hope to engage amateur and professional photographers, as well as scientists, to take a close look at our local watershed — a place that sustains life — with a different eye.

Not only to see the beauty, but also to look the other direction toward the impacts from human activities that may not be beneficial to the environment, the watershed or human health.”

For this exhibit, BRWC has partnered with photography students in Utah State University’s Department of Art and Design.

“We want to get the word out to the public and specifically

The good news is “300: Rise of an Empire” doesn’t feel like a direct-to-DVD sequel. The bad news is that it feels more like a “300” TV series spinoff.

It’s more “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” than it is “300.” An overthe-top bloodbath of little consequence. It’s a movie with only three real characters, while everyone else is thrown to the meat grinder. It’s just as preposterous as the first, but it lacks any kind of the “Us Against the World” spirit of the first. Sure, there are insurmountable odds here, too. But they’re met with such indifference from the film that it soon becomes clear that the only purpose is to fast forward through the “story” so we can get to the next CGI-enhanced action sequence.

Pulling Through: Smart grabs

I

n her own words, Michelle Smart “wasn’t good at anything” during her high school days.

“I didn’t play sports ...,” she says, “I didn’t do music.”

My, how things have changed for the 2003 graduate of Sky View High School.

Smart, despite being relatively new to the sport, is one of the best female armwrestlers the nation has to offer. After all, she recently captured the Ultimate Armwrestling League (UAL) women’s lightweight title.

That’s a pretty good accomplishment, especially when you consider Smart has only been seriously competing for less than two years now.

Smart defeated Tamara “The Wild” Mitts 5-0 to capture her title at UAL 6. The event was held on Jan. 11 at the Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind. “It actually took me seven pulls because of elbow fouls and such,” Smart explains. “We pulled seven times, but I won all seven matches.”

It was the thrill of a lifetime for Smart.

STORY BY WADE DENNISTON “It was really exciting for me to see — I’ve been in it for two years — where I was at with somebody with such great talent,” Smart says. “She’s been in it for 23 years and won world championships ... so to hang with somebody like that was pretty cool.”

Did Smart ever imagine she’d win a UAL title so quickly?

“No, but I’ve just been working real hard and I really, really wanted it,” Smart says. “That’s what kind of gave me the extra drive. I finally found something that I could do — I wasn’t ever really good at sports or anything in high school ....

“So, to finally find something that I really enjoyed gave me a lot of ambition to change my life. I started eating healthier, going to the gym and just changing what I needed to focus on.”

Smart has always loved to armwrestle, but she didn’t realize there were competitions in the sport until 2013.

“I found a competition in Idaho at the Idaho

State Fair and I took second against the world champion,” Smart recalls. “She told me to get into it and I’ve been practicing straight for two years.”

Smart is employed full-time at Pepperidge Farm

in Richmond. She and her husband, Jesse, are also the proud parents of two girls — Kaytlin, 10, and Makena, 7. With so much seemingly on her plate, how much time does Smart actually devote to armwrestling?

s national armwrestling title

“I try to hit the gym four to five days a week — at least four,” Smart says. “And I do table time, where I practice at the table one or two days a week and do little things like that at my house.”

Smart used to train in Bountiful with the likes

of fellow armwrestlers Todd Hutchings and John Brzenk. She’s also spent time practicing with Jordan Sill and Dustin Green. However, Hutchings recently moved to Arizona and the practices stopped.

“The last couple of months since he’s moved, we haven’t had any practices,” Smart says. “I practiced with them for quite a while, so it set me up with some good stuff at home that I can do with pulleys and things like that. I have a table at home that I use.”

The UAL was founded in 2010 by former world champion Bill Collins and entrepreneur Robert Drenk.

Smart says she would like to grow the sport in Cache Valley.

“I really want to help grow the women’s sport, get more women to know about it,” Smart says. “I’d like to get the Cache Valley area to know about it so we can get more people practicing and things like that; hold some tournaments.

“Like for me, I didn’t know that there was anything like that,” Smart continues. “I didn’t know there were competitions around the world. I guess I never even thought about Googling it. I just thought it was something you did with your brothers and sisters.”

I really want to be part of the slow food, localvore, foodie yumminess, but one thing stops me: the absence of coffee. Well, that and bananas, pineapples and Australian wine. I may not be a world traveler, but I enjoy being a world eater. There are so many foods that are as American as apple pie with extra-hydrogenated fat that we can’t reasonably grow here.

I love the idea of eating local, but it’s intellectually confusing.

have Starbucks as one of its sponsors.

I know I am spending too much time focusing on yummy, yummy, steaming hot, delicious coffee, but it is the antithesis of local. For the most part, the only reason the world became connected was because we craved coffee, tea, salt, sugar and other exotic foods.

Apart from food, buying anything local has always been problematic. I think I read that there are more foreign parts in a Ford F-150 than in a Toyota Tacoma. If I buy a Korean-made TV or one

of those Apple iThings, does it matter if I buy it from Amazon, a big box store or the one the few remaining independent electronics stores in town? The people are really at the short end of the stick are the ones that make the products.

They get paid the same amount no matter where I buy it, so my main consideration has to be for the retail people who sell the stuff.

Somehow Costco sells the same cheap stuff at the same cheap price as Walmart, but Costco is more highly regarded for how they treat and pay their employees.

Where is the extra

money going?

It’s complicated, but trying to do the right thing always has been.

Maybe that is the allure of those CTR rings my Mormon friends and neighbors wear. When in doubt, you can look down at you hand and think, Oh yeah, choose the right, even if what’s right is riddled with ambiguity.

Eating and buying local has to be one of those things — like honesty — that you aspire to but to which you will always fall short.

The characters are exciting, and the story escalates as the initial job becomes more elaborate. Readers familiar with Evanovich’s novels will love this series, and hopefully there will be more adventures by this writing duo.

Go ‘Into the Woods’ in Perry The Heritage Theatre in Perry will present “Into the Woods” from March 7 to 29.

Based on the musical by Stephen Sondheim, “Into the Woods” will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Matinees will also be performed at 2 p.m. on March 15 and 22.

Tickets are $10 for adults; $9 for seniors and children.

Directed by Brad Whitaker with musical direction by Claudia Bigler, the cast of “Into the Woods” includes: Kelli

Morris, Nathan Bigler, Kenzie Pace, Grant Christensen, Diana Handy, Cheighny Merkley, Jennifer Christensen, Ally Braegger, Jason Whitaker, Cherie’ Hansen, Jennifer Hunsaker, Chelsea Cummins, Jenica Christensen, Joseph Burgan, Jay Christensen, Brianna Taylor, Alec Bradford, Rob Christensen, Madison Merkley, Elysia Christensen and Duane Rice.

Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Detective Agency finds himself in charge in “The Bootlegger,” by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott, the latest in the adventure series.

It’s 1921, and both Prohibition and bootlegging are in full swing. Joseph Van Dorn and some of his men are aboard a ship that’s chasing a rum-running vessel. Bullets start to fly, and Van Dorn is critically injured. Bell must save the detective agency. He quickly gets to work finding colleagues who are looking the other way when it involves booze — and money in their pockets.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of them.

Bell must also stop the mastermind behind most of

the bootlegging, a Russian criminal who has a bold plan to take out the United States.

The Isaac Bell series continues to tell compelling stories. Tidbits of history are sprinkled throughout the narrative, and it’s fun to filter out fictional characters and events from historical facts.

CCC hosts ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ The Cache Community Connections is hosting a night of “Who Do You Think You Are?” at 7 p.m. Friday, March 14, at the Logan Tabernacle.

This fun event is free and open to the public.

Everyone seems to be interested in learning about their ancestors.

One of the most popular uses of the Internet is genealogy, searching family roots and connections. We seem to be interested in learning about our connections to other people, both near and far.

The popular television series, “Who Do You Think You Are?” began in Great Britain but has become a success on American television as well. In the series, a celebrity is guided through the process of becoming acquainted with ancestors, often for the first time.

Learning about an ancestor’s life’s struggles, challenges

and victories can give purpose and understanding to one’s own life. Strength and resiliency in our life often come from knowing that someone just like us has met and overcome a similar or greater challenge. The connectedness among family members across generations provides understanding. As we learn more about our ancestors, we may also learn that those with whom we are closely related were as different from us in some ways as those who now live worlds away, either literally or in political opinions and ideologies.

This evening promises to be a fun night as we enjoy learning a little more about our friends and neighbors, and who knows, we may find we are actually cousins.

The film isn’t a total bore, so parents could find themselves mildly entertained.

The exhibit will also include 10 historical images of the Bear River watershed provided by the Merrill-Cazier Library’s Special Collections at Utah State University. Dan Davies, Special Collection’s photograph curator, is excited to present a historical aspect to the exhibit and says that he understands the significance photographs can play in the future to help understand the past.

To augment the exhibit, the Stokes Nature Center will host several photographic programs that include: • Dan Miller, Bear River Watershed Council,

who will show images from their Motorized Use Data Project (MUD) and explain how these images have made a difference in the local forest and watershed.

• Brian Greene, Utah Water Watch, who will show people citizen science projects that use apps to document plants and animals. He will highlight a couple of smartphone apps that use photos to collect scientific data. The class will conclude with a nature walk around the SNC, allowing participants to take photos and test out the apps.

CVCB

Continued from Page 7 my allergies started acting up. Most of the time it appears that the people of Greece are living in some type of zero-gravity snow globe.

It’s such a bizarre cinematic choice. Look at all this floating dust and ash, cool huh?

Everyone speaks in gruff whispers. It’s a melodramatic mess of grunts and hero speeches. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so dull.

If there’s one interesting aspect of “300: Rise of an Empire” it’s Eva Green’s relentless desire to not only chew up scenery, but to spew it all over the audience after she’s done tasting it. She’s such a gloriously wacky wicked villain that any time she’s not on screen it feels like you’re watching a completely different movie — counting the seconds until she’s back acting like the wonderful nutcase she is. Nothing else matters but Eva Green’s apparent insanity. Nothing.

Ashes to dust, and all that.

Supporting these characters is an ensemble of nearly 50 company members as well as more than 50 public cast members. Public auditions were held in February and had more than 150 participants. More than 200 hours of rehearsal and volunteer time goes into creating this production of “Sleeping Beauty.”

Luisa A. Igloria, of Norfolk, Va., is the winner of the 17th annual May Swenson Poetry Award, presented by Utah State University Press and the Literary Estate of May Swenson. Igloria will receive a cash award of $1,000 and her winning collection of poems, “Ode to the Heart Smaller than a Pencil Eraser,” will be published by USU Press in summer 2014.

The judge for the 2014 award was Mark Doty, American poet and memoirist. Doty selected Igloria’s work from

among 30 finalists chosen by a panel of professional poets and university teachers of poetry from hundreds of entries from across the United States and several countries abroad.

Doty discussed Igloria’s work and her selection as the award recipient.

“When Luisa Igloria cites Epictitus — as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place — she introduces the crowded and contradictory world her poems portray:

a realm of transience, yes, where the vulnerable come to harm and everything disappears, but also a scene of tremendous, unpredictable bounty, the gloriously hued density this poet loves to detail,” he said. “‘I was raised/ to believe not only the beautiful can live on/ Parnassus,’ she tells us, and she makes it true, by including in the cyclonic swirl of her poems practically everything: a gorgeous, troubling over-brimming universe.”

A well-published poet, Igloria is professor of creative

writing and English and director of the MFA creative writing program at Old Dominion University. Beyond the 10 books she has previously published, her work has appeared or been accepted in numerous anthologies and journals, including “Poetry,” “Crab Orchard Review” and “The Missouri Review.”

Originally from Baguio City in the Philippines, Igloria now makes her home in Virginia.

Doty is a National Book Award-winning poet and influential voice in American letters.

Doty has published more than 12 volumes of poetry and prose and he is professor/writer in residence at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. The May Swenson Poetry Award honors her as one of America’s most provocative and vital writers. During her long career, Swenson was loved and praised by writers from virtually every school of American poetry. She left a legacy of 50 years of writing when she died in 1989. She is buried her hometown of Logan.

UP Bison featured in exhibit COMING Unicorn presents ‘Heads’

For 500,000 years until the early 1860s, 50 million bison roamed the plains of North America. By 1890, there were fewer than 300. An exhibit that explores the “before” and “after” of the bison’s dramatic decline is currently on display at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History and will continue through March 15.

Admission is free.

The exhibit dramatizes the emergence of the bison as an “American icon” with kiosks, banners, photographs, sculpture and such objects as a bison skull, a contemporary painted bison hide and

and co-curated by Anne Morand and Dr. Lynn Spriggs. Morand, who died in July 2013, said, “Bison represent universal ideas of an American wild West; they remind us how the transformation of the West brought lasting environmental and social changes. Their tragic demise and near extinction bring a realization that nature has its limits.”

foods. In Irish culture, there are a lot of potatoes, but that’s not all.
