FROM THE EDITOR Sometimes figuring out what to eat can be such a hassle. Have you noticed? Don’t get me wrong, I love to eat. It is planning a meal, going to the grocery store and preparing the food that gets to me.

As I’ve written here before, I’m not much of a cook.

When I’m tired at the end of the day, cooking sounds like a lot of work. In addition to being short

on energy, I’m missing some pretty crucial things — like food. Last week a friend went through my kitchen. He counted about 20 food items. That isn’t a lot, he said, pointing out that his tally included ketchup, mustard, pickles, ice cream and six boxes of cereal.

I may not always have the energy or ingredients to make a meal, but I somehow manage to make dessert occasionally. That said, I am excited to announce the newest addition to my kitchen: doughnut pans. I bought doughnut pans earlier this week and can’t wait to use them. I also have a

doughnut cookbook filled with recipes for glazes and cake flavors that sound amazing. So this weekend (hopefully), I’ll be baking doughnuts.

What are you doing this weekend?

There are plenty of events going on around the area. Celtic Night begins tonight at Ellen Eccles Theatre in Logan and “Into the Woods” is at the Heritage Theatre in Perry. To learn about these events and more, check out the following pages of this issue of Cache Magazine.

Local pens young adult novel

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

In need of another chapter to help complete her first novel, local author Marcy Hope Williams utilized a “Back to the Future”-like moment. Although she didn’t realize it at the time, she had actually written something a decade earlier that fit perfectly into “Wise Eyes: The Adventure Begins.”

“When I sit down at the computer, I just write whatever I’m guided to write, and I was inspired to write that chapter even though I didn’t know what to do with it,” Williams explains. “But I filed it away, and about 10 years later I started writing this story, and I thought, Oh my gosh, there’s the missing chapter right there.”

The first book of a planned trilogy, Williams took about a year to write “Wise Eyes” — not counting that inaugural chapter. She describes the book as “a contemporary coming-of-age story dedicated to the great Beehive State of Utah.”

Set in Cache Valley, “Wise Eyes” tells the story of a 14-year-old boy named Daniel, his friend Jenny, and their friends and family. Williams says the book would primarily be of interest to young people between fifth and eighth grade.

“I’m marketing it as the first green, young adult novel, and I truly think it is,” Williams adds. “I’ve been a vegetarian for 40 years and a vegan for almost 20, and Jenny turns vegetarian in the book. It’s very contemporary.”

“‘Need for Speed’ doesn’t merely ask you to suspend disbelief. No, it straps your disbelief to a helicopter and dangles it over the Grand Canyon.”

Local author Marcy Hope Williams wrote “Wise Eyes.”

California, Williams lived in Hawaii for 14 years before relocating to Cache Valley with her now ex-husband and their family. Raising three children as a single mother kept her extremely busy, but she managed to go back to school at Utah State and completed her bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a master’s in folklore.

“I’ve been involved in literacy and language for a long time; I believe in it,” says Williams, a driving force behind the Festival of Words that has been held in Cache Valley in the past. “I believe that’s the way to help children keep on the right track, and to have answers, opportunities and alternatives.

“The more children read about different characters and what roads they choose, if they get in that situation,

maybe it will help them make a better choice.”

Williams has already published several short stories, including “Twiga,” a folktale about a young giraffe.

She published “Wise Eyes” through CreateSpace, Amazon.com’s self-publishing subsidiary, and put a photograph of her daughter’s dog, Blink, wading in Tony Grove Lake on the cover.

“This story was a way to couple my love of nature and animals and children altogether, and hopefully bring young adults to a sanctuary, a peaceful place,” Williams says. “My books are G-rated; they’re motivational; they’re uplifting. And yet, they’re different. They’re very different.”

——— “Wise Eyes” is currently available for $8.95 online at

Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, and locally at the Book Table, Stork Landing and Hastings Entertainment. Williams will also be featured at a book signing from noon to 3 p.m.

Saturday, April 12, at Hastings, 50 E. 400 North. For more information, visit Williams’ website at www.story-express. com.

Musicians to perform Brahms’ Requiem

By Eric Warren USU Media Relations

Cache Valley will play host to one of the most celebrated and recognizable pieces of music to come from Germany when the 300 members that make up the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra perform Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 28, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

“We are delighted to be able to perform this beautiful and very moving piece in Cache Valley,” said Craig Jessop, director and conductor of the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra.

“Brahms’ Requiem presents us with a unique opportunity to bring together musical talents from all over the valley, and beyond, to one stage and perform a magnificent piece of musical history.”

Jessop said that Brahms’ Requiem reflects a time of tragedy in Brahms’ life and shows how he chose to commemorate loss. Rather than use remorseful Latin prose, he created a celebration of life; a musical tapestry filled with elegant melodies, infused with the rich vocal textures of Germanic prose, and coupled with the beautiful sonance of a full orchestra.

According to Utah State University assistant professor of musicology Christopher M. Scheer, Brahms’ Requiem is arguably one of the most important pieces of choral music written in the 19th century.

“The inspiration for its composition may have been the passing of Brahms’ beloved mother, though many scholars have noted that some musical material

used in the Requiem dates from 1856, around the time of the death of his close friend, the composer Robert Schumann,” Scheer said.

Though modeled on the Roman Catholic mass for the dead, Brahms drew his texts from Martin Luther’s German Bible, which is why the work is in German and not in the customary Latin. Scheer commented that Brahms takes many liberties with the traditional requiem texts, playing down and expunging references to Christian dogmas, while emphasizing the human experiences of suffering and bereavement.

The work reflects Brahms’ personal view of the spiritual, and he is even said to have remarked that the work should be called a human requiem.

“Everything about Brahms’ masterpiece is elegant and

exquisite,” said Jessop. “My hope is that our audience will fully experience the music as it fills the hall and reverberates with the grace it was composed for.”

To help accomplish that, Jessop has enlisted renowned vocalists Cindy Dewey and Steve Meredith.

Dewey, an associate professor at Utah State’s Caine College of the Arts, has appeared as soprano soloist with orchestras across the United States and Canada.

She has performed numerous works with American Festival Chorus and Orchestra, including Haydn’s Creation, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Orff’s Carmina Burana, as well as in works by Mozart and Bach. Dewey’s students have gone on to perform at opera houses in the United States and Europe, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Meredith is an oft soughtafter baritone and was a favorite of Grammy Awardwinning conductor Robert Shaw. Meredith sang Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and 9th Symphony under his direction with orchestras throughout the United States.

Meredith also has appeared regularly with other notable conductors, including Margaret Hillis, Hermann Michael, See BRAHMS on Page 10

Bridgerland Gala Concert

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and whether you are Irish or not, everyone can enjoy the spectacular “Riverdance”-themed show, Celtic Night, coming to Ellen Eccles Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 14, and Saturday, March 15.

Celtic Night 2014, traditionally presented

by Inishfre Irish Dance Company and Leaping Lulu, is the 10th annual Celtic Night, making it a special production for the whole cast. To commemorate the show’s 10th anniversary, Inishfre and An Tús Nua Irish Dance Academy will be performing together to make a few of the dance numbers extra entertaining.

Inishfre Irish Dance has performed in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming since 2005. Inishfre Irish Dance has 15 dancers ranging in age from 16 to 50 with diverse dancing experience, but all share a passion for Irish dance and the music that inspires it.

Founding director Julie Zufelt comes from a background in ballet and piano and became fascinated with Irish step dancing after experiencing “Riverdance.”

Zufelt’s original choreography is set to music that combines traditional folk tunes with driving rhythms and traditional and new-age instrumentation that culminate in extraordinary high-energy entertainment.

Many of the Inishfre Dancers are Logan locals, including high school students, college students and moms. The very first Celtic Night was held in the Whittier Center Auditorium.

It was supposed to be a fun, low-key performance, but it ended up selling out. Ever since then, it has just continued to grow and has become a tradition for many people in Cache Valley.

This year An Tús Nua Irish Dance Academy will be joining Inishfre on the stage. Terena Lund, the director of An Tús Nua, also participated in the first Celtic Night. Since then, she has become a certified Irish dance instructor and founded her own school, which contains national championshiplevel dancers.

Leaping Lulu accompanies all of the dancing at Celtic Night. Leaping Lulu is a neo-traditional Celtic folk band based

in Logan, that features Sara Gunnell on violin, Liz Fallis on flute and piccolo, Don Anderson on guitar and cittern and Kent Braddy on vocals, bodhran and cajon.

Tickets for Celtic Night 2014 are available at the Ellen Eccles

Theatre box office at 43 S. Main St., by calling 752-0026 or online at www.cachearts.org.

Reserved seating prices are $13 to $20. Visit www.bridgerfolk.org and www.leapinglulu. com for more information.

Utah State University’s Department of Music presents the Jazz Combos annual spring concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, in the USU Performance Hall.

“This concert presents a great opportunity for students and audience members to interact,” said Jon Gudmunson, director of jazz studies in the Caine College of

the Arts (CCA). “The students are able to learn firsthand what music the audience enjoys.”

Denson Angulo, USU CCA student, is coaching a combo called Mad Brittney and the Guy Tones. Angulo said the audience will hear guitar, keyboards, saxophones, bass and drums in a unique setting that is not common to popular

mainstream music today.

“Much of the music that will be heard is improvised on the spot so no two performances will ever be the same,” said Angulo. “The spontaneous construction of the music unfolds live and fresh before the audience’s eyes and ears.”

Other combos playing in the performance are Mickey D and the Fat

Fats, Muck Duck and the Caine Jazz Combo.

Tickets are $10 adults, $8 youth and seniors, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information, visit the CCA Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 435-7978022 or see the college’s Production Services website (arts.usu.edu).

Saturday, March 15, in the Kent Concert Hall at Utah State University. The best music students from Box Elder, Cache and Franklin counties auditioned for the show and 350 were selected. Admission is free to the public. For information, contact Logan High School band director Chris Rasmussen at 232-3823.

“Stravinsky created the piano version in a very orchestral manner,” Hirst said, “and much of it requires the solo pianist to elicit the same sounds

“Need for Speed” doesn’t merely ask you to suspend disbelief. No, it straps your disbelief to a helicopter and dangles it over the Grand Canyon. There’s a complete demolition of disbelief. One that requires so much brain shutting off that it’s almost impossible to enjoy all the macho engine revving. The “Fast & Furious 6” infinite runway is far more believable than just about anything that happens in “Need for Speed.” I guess that’s what we should expect from an adaption of a racing video game.

Tobey (Aaron Paul) is a street racing legend, only he’s never had the proper wheels to really make his dreams come true. He and his friends go to impossible lengths to pull off insane street races. We open with a street race which is run by what appear to be militarygrade computer systems, and someone in a Cessna up above spotting for traffic and cops.

FLIGHT

Willow Valley Middle School students perform in ‘Peter Pan Jr.’

H

YRUM — If you are going to do the play “Peter Pan,” the main character needs to be able to fly around.

While that may sound like a tall order for a middle school theater group, it recently became a reality.

EmmaKaite Coleman did take to the air last weekend when Willow Valley Middle School put on the production for three nights at South Cache. They needed to perform there, because the stage allowed more room for flying.

“When people think of Peter Pan, they think flying,” co-director John Caldwell said. “In my opinion, Peter Pan has got to be able to fly.”

And so it happened.

Of course there was a concern for safety. Caldwell said being safe was a top priority.

With Daniel Coleman — the father of 12-year-old EmmaKaite — running the flying harness and cable off stage, Peter Pan took to the air. Being a firefighter in Salt Lake County, Daniel Coleman made sure his daughter was in good hands the whole time.

“They wanted someone she (EmmaKaite) could trust on the other end of that line, because it is a pretty

skinny cable,” Coleman said. “... The hardest part are the landings, trying to get her to come down soft. Up and down is easy, but when you swing on a pendulum, moving at an angle, you need to let out more line.”

And how did EmmaKaite like being Peter Pan and getting to fly?

“They told us we would fly, but we didn’t know it would be like this,” EmmaKaite said. “... It’s been difficult learning to fly, because you have to keep yourself straight in the air and you want to turn and spin all over. But it’s been fun though.”

It was also interesting for the preteen to play Peter Pan. She has been in other productions and had “big parts,” but never the main one.

“I guess they ran out of boys,” EmmaKaite said when asked about playing Peter Pan. “... I wanted to be Tinker Bell or Wendy, but I got Peter Pan. It’s pretty cool. ... It’s been a tough play, but it’s really fun and exciting, awesome and funny too.”

And working with her father?

“I guess,” she said with a smile.

“For some jumps he has to jump off a ladder and pull the cable and land on his back and then lift me back up.”

Students from Willow Valley began rehearsing for the production back in October. This is the fourth year a show has been put on by the theater group from the school. While many raved about how fun doing “Oklahoma!” was a year ago, they have also enjoyed doing Peter Pan. “I love acting,” said 12-year-old Kaden Denison, who played John Darling. “Last year we did ‘Oklahoma!’ and it was so much fun. ... I still like this play, but ‘Oklahoma!’ was so much fun.”

“I’ve been in a lot of plays,” said 13-year-old Kehler Ames, who played Smee. “... I do want to continue in theater arts. All the hard work is worth it when you see that one person who enjoyed it thoroughly. I try to look at the audience, but it’s hard with the bright lights, but I like to see when I make a difference in a kid’s life.”

More than 50 students are involved this year in “Peter Pan.” There are 48 performers, who all had to try out.

Any student at the school can try out.

Then there is a handful of students involved behind the scenes, plus parents that help as well. It is a community effort.

“The thing about ‘Peter Pan Jr.’ is there are lots of parts; you can get a ton of involvement from tech people and scene people,” said co-director Kylie Funk, who is a teacher at Willow Valley. “... This is open to everyone. Your tryout determines the part that will work for you and is in your comfort level. There is something for everyone. We will never not give you a part. If you are committed and want to be here, we want you.”

Many of the students went into tryouts thinking about a specific part, but ended up with another. After practicing for a while, they realized how much they liked the part.

“I auditioned for John (Darling), Captain Hook, Peter Pan,” Kaden said. “... I was a little disappointed at first, but I’m pretty proud about my part now. I really didn’t know who John was until I looked into it.”

“I wanted to be Wendy, but I got Tinker Bell and I’m actually really glad I did, because it is so fun,” 13-year-old Emily Nielsen said. “I love it. ... I would encourage others to try out. It is so fun, no matter what

part you have.”

Brigette Noble agreed. The 11-yearold played Wendy.

“I think her personality is curiosity and I’m pretty curious about a lot of things,” Brigette said. “I like imagining things like she does with Peter, so I guess we could relate a little. ... I love meeting new people, makes me braver and I can share my talent more.

When I was younger, I was nuts about singing and ‘American Idol.’”

Carson Adams played two parts in the show. The 12-year-old was Captain Hook and Mr. Darling.

“It takes a lot of work,” Carson said. “And you’ve got to keep your grades up and memorize your lines.”

“The kids give a lot of time and effort,” Caldwell said. “... They learn to use their time effectively.”

This adaptation of “Peter Pan” was based on the play by J.M. Barrie and the 1953 Disney film. It is called “Peter Pan Jr.,” and has been out less than a year. Willow Valley is the first school in Utah to perform it.

“We try and pick a show the kids can be successful at,” Caldwell said.

“Some shows are too hard for this age group. This one was new, and we thought it would be good for the kids.”

It takes dedication to be part of the group, but those who participate have a passion for getting up in front of people and entertaining.

“It’s always fun, no matter what,” Emily said. “... It’s been a lot of work.

It’s either going to be awesome or it’s going to be a train wreck.”

Caldwell said the production went well, with a few technical glitches.

Funk marveled at how well the students have done in learning their parts.

“They are really talented and if you push them, they really do rise to the occasion,” Funk said. “It’s been so fun to see them be part of something that we try to make quality, but also challenging and to love that.”

Both Caldwell and Funk applauded the school district for “fighting” for a grant that allows an after-school program like this.

While this production is over, this weekend 85 students from Wellsville Elementary will be putting on “Aladdin Jr.” at the school in Wellsville.

TAKING

FLIGHT

Willow Valley Middle School students perform in ‘Peter Pan Jr.’

H

YRUM — If you are going to do the play “Peter Pan,” the main character needs to be able to fly around.

While that may sound like a tall order for a middle school theater group, it recently became a reality.

EmmaKaite Coleman did take to the air last weekend when Willow Valley Middle School put on the production for three nights at South Cache. They needed to perform there, because the stage allowed more room for flying.

“When people think of Peter Pan, they think flying,” co-director John Caldwell said. “In my opinion, Peter Pan has got to be able to fly.”

And so it happened.

Of course there was a concern for safety. Caldwell said being safe was a top priority.

With Daniel Coleman — the father of 12-year-old EmmaKaite — running the flying harness and cable off stage, Peter Pan took to the air. Being a firefighter in Salt Lake County, Daniel Coleman made sure his daughter was in good hands the whole time.

“They wanted someone she (EmmaKaite) could trust on the other end of that line, because it is a pretty

skinny cable,” Coleman said. “... The hardest part are the landings, trying to get her to come down soft. Up and down is easy, but when you swing on a pendulum, moving at an angle, you need to let out more line.”

And how did EmmaKaite like being Peter Pan and getting to fly?

“They told us we would fly, but we didn’t know it would be like this,” EmmaKaite said. “... It’s been difficult learning to fly, because you have to keep yourself straight in the air and you want to turn and spin all over. But it’s been fun though.”

It was also interesting for the preteen to play Peter Pan. She has been in other productions and had “big parts,” but never the main one.

“I guess they ran out of boys,” EmmaKaite said when asked about playing Peter Pan. “... I wanted to be Tinker Bell or Wendy, but I got Peter Pan. It’s pretty cool. ... It’s been a tough play, but it’s really fun and exciting, awesome and funny too.”

And working with her father?

“I guess,” she said with a smile.

“For some jumps he has to jump off a ladder and pull the cable and land on his back and then lift me back up.”

Students from Willow Valley began rehearsing for the production back in October. This is the fourth year a show has been put on by the theater group from the school. While many raved about how fun doing “Oklahoma!” was a year ago, they have also enjoyed doing Peter Pan. “I love acting,” said 12-year-old Kaden Denison, who played John Darling. “Last year we did ‘Oklahoma!’ and it was so much fun. ... I still like this play, but ‘Oklahoma!’ was so much fun.”

“I’ve been in a lot of plays,” said 13-year-old Kehler Ames, who played Smee. “... I do want to continue in theater arts. All the hard work is worth it when you see that one person who enjoyed it thoroughly. I try to look at the audience, but it’s hard with the bright lights, but I like to see when I make a difference in a kid’s life.”

More than 50 students are involved this year in “Peter Pan.” There are 48 performers, who all had to try out.

Any student at the school can try out.

Then there is a handful of students involved behind the scenes, plus parents that help as well. It is a community effort.

“The thing about ‘Peter Pan Jr.’ is there are lots of parts; you can get a ton of involvement from tech people and scene people,” said co-director Kylie Funk, who is a teacher at Willow Valley. “... This is open to everyone. Your tryout determines the part that will work for you and is in your comfort level. There is something for everyone. We will never not give you a part.

Brahms Continued from Page 4 Stewart Robertson and Robert Page. He is the music department chair and director of choral activities at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah.

Dewey concurred that it is generally believed Brahms wrote his German Requiem in honor of his mother, and said that it takes on special significance for her when she can perform it in honor of her own mother.

“Because of my close relationship with my mother, it is special to perform a piece that is about the mother-child relationship,” Dewey said. “In the fifth

movement where I sing the soprano solo, the choir’s text translates as ‘I shall comfort you, as one whom his mother comforts,’ and in that moment, I am truly comforted.”

Opening the program is Utah composer Jeff Detton’s Tritone: A Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, which was inspired by the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and is based around a tritone, the most dissonant musical interval. This performance marks the debut of Detton’s first major work for piano and orchestra.

Born in 1986, Jeff Detton showed exceptional musical talent from an early age.

Self-taught in his earliest years, Detton began

composing at age 8, and has been writing symphonic music since age 10.

Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem will conclude the sixth concert season for the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. “I can think of no greater season finale than this performance to enable us to continue our goal of providing a culture of musical excellence that edifies, entertains and educates performers and audiences,” Jessop said.

Ticket prices are $12, $16 and $20. For more information visit americanfestivalchorus. org, or call (435) 7520026.

The Jasper String Quartet will play a wide-ranging concert, including music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

The quartet is made up of J. Freivogel, violin, Sae Chonabayashi, violin, Sam Quintal, viola, and Rachel Henderson Freivogel, cello, who have played together as the Jaspers since 2006, when they formed the quartet at Oberlin Conservatory. Jaspers perform pieces emotionally significant to its members ranging from Haydn and Beethoven through Berg, Ligeti and living composers. They have commissioned string quartets from some of today’s up-and-coming composers, including Andrew Nor-

man, Nicholas Omiccioli, Conrad Tao and Annie Gosfield. They are delighted to be in the midst of a commissioning project with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis. Critics and audiences commend the Jasper String Quartet’s “programming savvy” (clevelandclassical.com) and they have performed throughout the United States and in Canada, England, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway and Panama.

Educational outreach is a highlight of the Jasper quartet’s

professional life. The members have brought many more than 100 outreach programs into schools and enjoy educational work of all types.

During the week before their performance in Logan, they plan three days of outreach with Cache Valley high-school and elementary-school students, as well as a master class at Utah State University.

Based in Philadelphia, Penn., the Jasper String Quartet is the ensemble-in-residence at Classic Chamber Concerts in Naples, Fla. The quartet recently released two highly acclaimed albums for the Sono Luminus label featuring the works of Beethoven, Schubert and Aaron Jay Kernis. In 2014, they will digitally release Beethoven Op. 131 on Sono Luminus as well.

Coming out of “Need for Speed” with any enjoyment whatsoever requires completely powering down any and all thinking. Don’t question a thing. Don’t question the ludicrously low amount of prison time that is handed down to a person involved in a street race which likely killed half a dozen police officers. Discount the idiocy on display as the movie has you believe that someone can take off and land a plane at will without any communication with any sort of air traffic controllers. Try not to understand the reasoning for such a risky race, where the winner retains all the competitors’ cars,

If you’ve ever played the “Need for Speed” games you’ll know that you can run into other cars, buses and even mountains. Your car will flip over, and then it’ll blink and appear right back in the middle of the road so you can keep going. At least the movie retains some sort of realism in that aspect.

Cache Valley Civic Ballet presents ‘Sleeping Beauty’ The Cache Valley Civic Ballet is proud to present its production of “Sleeping Beauty” at 7:30 p.m. March 21-22 and 24, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. An additional matinee performance will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 22.

“Sleeping Beauty” is a ballet in a prologue and three acts first performed in 1890. Thirty minutes prior to the matinee, Sandy Emile, the CVCB artistic director, will present a short lecture to better help the audience understand the story told within ballet.

The wonderful music by Tchaikovsky, colorful scenery, beautiful costumes and technical choreography will enchant audiences. The story centers on the beautiful princess Aurora, upon whom the evil witch Carabosse will cast a spell. On

her 16th birthday, princess Aurora pricks her finger on a spindle and falls into a 100year sleep. At the end of those 100 years, she will be woken by the kiss of a handsome prince.

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 go into creating this production of “Sleeping Beauty.”

For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit cachearts.org, visit the Ellen Eccles box office at 43 S. Main St. or call 752-0026. More information about the Cache Valley Civic Ballet is also available at cvcballet.org.

CCC hosts ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ Similar to the popular British and American television series, “Who Do You Think You Are?”, three local “celebrities” will trace their ancestral roots in an event at the Logan Tabernacle at 7 p.m. Friday, March 14. With the help of expert genealogists, Sister Marilyn of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, the Rev. Dr. Stephen Sturgeon, Vicar of St. John’s Episcopal Church, and Rev. Derek Forbes, Associate Pastor of the Logan First Presbyterian Church, will become better acquainted with their ancestors, and they have invited us to the event. In the course of our discovery, we will learn about the methods of research and free resources that are available to all to pursue a similar quest. Beyond being entertained, we hope that the evening will help to remind us that we are all members of the same big family. The event is sponsored by Cache Community Connections, our local interfaith and civic organization, and is partially supported

by RAPZ funds.

Choir to perform in Logan

From the Heart Choir will perform a free concert at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 16, at the Logan Tabernacle.

However, the students banded together and began the From the Heart Choir through their own extracurricular and financial efforts. Visitors to the performance should expect to hear solos, a duet and choir arrangements of songs such as, “Come Thou Fount” and “I Stand All Amazed.” The hour program focuses on the blessings of the atonement of Jesus Christ.
