FROM THE EDITOR It was just about two years ago that I was first introduced to Neon Trees.

Being of a certain age, it’s not unusual for me to be completely out of the loop when it comes to newer rock bands. So, even though the Provo-based group almost cracked the Top 10 with “Animal” in 2009, it wasn’t until a commercial released in 2012 that I finally started to put 2 and 2 together.

Because Neon Trees was featured in a Buck ad that ran seemingly every timeout during the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, “It started with a whisper,” got so

stuck in my stuck in my head that I finally just Googled that line to find out who the band was.

Much to my surprise, it was a group made up musicians with Utah and LDS ties, who named themselves after the palm trees featured at In-N-Out Burger. Since we only have so many Donnys and Maries in the Beehive State, that led to me purchasing their CD, “Picture Show,” when it was released about a month later.

While I can’t say I played the disc non-stop, the album was pretty good and the music and corresponding videos had an ’80s pop vibe to them, which I found entertaining and comfortable.

But until a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t thought much about Neon Trees for a year or so. That’s when I received an email

link to the group’s new CD, entitled “Pop Psychology.” Soon after, lead singer Tyler Glenn announced he was gay in a Rolling Stone article, and drummer Elaine Bradley was featured in a new “I Am Mormon” video.

So, this is just a heads up. Once “Pop Psychology” is released on April 22, you’ll likely be hearing a lot more about Neon Trees leading up to the band’s concert on June 16 at The Complex in Salt Lake City.

And that’s a good thing.

Whether you like the group’s music or not, there’s certainly nothing wrong with drawing attention to the music scene in our part of the world.

Spencers sharing magic

Prepare to be mystified as “Spencers: Theatre of Illusion” makes a stop in Cache Valley at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, April 18, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

This is not your run-ofthe-mill magic show, and Kevin and Cindy Spencer are not your typical magicians. The Spencers carry a lot of equipment in their 65-foot customized truck and trailer, but a rabbit and a top hot are not in the inventory.

an amazing six times, and, in 2009, were bestowed magic’s highest honor, the Merlin Award for International Magicians of the Year, joining the ranks of Hen-

ning, Copperfield and Penn & Teller.

“Spencers: Theatre of Illusion” is a family-friendly production that is hip, sophisticated, and filled with

original magic and illusions.

By blending the theatrical elements of a broadway-style production with the high energy of a rock concert, these artists take their audience on a journey to the brink of impossibility ... and back again. The Spencers have been described as “modernday Houdinis” by critics.

In addition to the performance at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, Kevin Spencer will be working at local schools April 15-16 as part of their Hocus Focus program.

Hocus Focus is based on peer-reviewed research that has been presented at various international education conferences, including the International Association of Special Education and the International Society for Teach Education. It is a student-centered, experiential-learning program for students with varying degrees of educational challenges and abilities to support the learning of all students including autistic, cognitive delayed, emotional disturbed, and learning disabled students.

USU delivers ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’ The Department of Music at Utah State University presents the opera “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12, in the Morgan Theatre at the Chase Fine Arts Center.

Tickets are $10 adults, $8 seniors and youth, $5 faculty and staff and free for USU students with valid ID. For more

information and tickets, visit the CCA Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

“Merry Wives of Windsor” is a comedic opera by Otto Nicolai based on the Shakespeare play of the same name.

Sir John Falstaff, a confirmed bachelor in love with drink and long past his prime, finds

that he is short on funds and connives to tactlessly woo two well-to-do married women.

Falstaff has underestimated Alice Ford and Meg Page.

When the two ladies realize that he wrote both of them the exact same love letter, they decide to turn the tables and teach Falstaff a lesson.

“It amazes me that a story written over 400 years ago

can still delight audiences today,” says Dallas Heaton, associate professor of opera in the CCA. “Full of comic moments and lovable characters that we can still identify with, ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’ is one of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies and has been a staple of the theatrical and operatic repertoire since its premiere.”

Handel’s “Messiah” will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 12, by a choir composed of members from nine local prestige choirs at the Logan Tabernacle in a Celebration of Easter, conducted

by John Ribera.

Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to donate food and hygiene items to the Cache Community Food Pantry.

The choir members are from the American Festival Chorus, Bel Canto, Christmas Benefit Concert Choir, Imperial Glee

Club, LDS Choirs, Men’s A Cappella of Cache Valley, First Presbyterian Chancellery Choir, St. John’s Episcopal Church Choir and the Towne Singers.

Ribera has been conducting choirs since the late 1970s in various states, as well as in Germany.

His love of music started at a young age singing and playing the violin in high school and college.

Ribera’s family moved to Cache Valley in 2000, and Ribera is currently an audiologist and an associate professor in the Department

of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education at Utah State University.

The soloists for this concert are soprano Lynnette Owens (from SLC), altos Gayla M.Johnson and Loralee Choate, tenor Ivon Cullumber, and basses Harry Heap, Ben Burt and Jonathan Choate. Familiar choruses include “Hallelujah,” “For Unto Us a Child is Born,” “And the Glory.” Solos will include “I know that my Redeemer Liveth” and “The Trumpet Shall Sound.”

‘Messiah’ at the Tabernacle COMING UP

Page 6 - The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, April 11, 2014

‘Captain America’ sets new April record with $96.2M LOS ANGELES (AP) — Disney and Marvel could be one of the finest teams around.

Continuing the success of their superhero franchise, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” has set a record as the biggest domestic April release ever. The Disney sequel debuted with $96.2 million, topping the previous record-holder, 2011’s “Fast Five,” which opened with $86.2 million.

“The Winter Soldier,” which stars Chris Evans as the shield-wielding superhero and Scarlett Johansson (whose sci-fi film “Under the Skin” also debuted this weekend with $140,000) as Black Widow, commanded 32 international markets last weekend.

Expanding to Russia, Australia and China in its second week, the Marvel comic adaptation, boasting a budget of over $170 million, earned $107.1 million internationally this weekend, bringing its overall worldwide haul to more than $303 million.

Also a touchstone for Imax, “The Winter Soldier” received $9.6 million of its U.S. haul on 346 screens showing the film in the enhanced resolution format. Internationally, it showed on 278 Imax screens, bringing in $6.5

million, $4 million of which was delivered from China.

“Captain America: The First Avenger,” which had a budget of around $140 million, debuted in July 2011 with $65 million. Overall, it earned $371 million worldwide.

Why the shift to an April release rather than remaining a summer launch?

“We looked at the possibility of creating separation from the other summer tentpoles,” said Dave Hollis, head of worldwide theatrical distribution for Disney. “There was an opportunity. We have the second Marvel film coming at the end of the summer in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ We wanted to start and end the summer and take advantage of this holiday. “ Meanwhile, Paramount’s biblical saga “Noah,” starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson, took a drastic dip in its second weekend, earning $17 million after debuting with $44 million. Still, it sailed into second place, crossing the $70 million mark domestically, while pushing Lionsgate’s young adult science-fiction thriller “Divergent,” led by Shailene Woodley, to third with $13 million in its third week. Its stateside total is now $114 million.

Music, color can’t make up for lack of a story

Aaron Peck

I like to use my 2 1/2-year-old son as a barometer for animated kid’s movies. At home he’s a connoisseur of child-friendly entertainment. He’s a huge fan of “Despicable Me,” but he’s also keen on old “Peanuts” movies, along with anything released

by Studio Ghibli (“My Neighbor Totoro” is his absolute favorite). So, when I take him to a movie like “Rio 2” and he’s completely tuned out after 20 minutes into the movie, wandering the aisles to find something more exciting to pay attention to, I know there’s something terribly wrong.

And so it goes with “Rio 2,” a beautifully animated kid’s movie defunct of anything that may make it special. Instead it recycles enough of the plot from “Fern Gully” to be called derivative, but doesn’t create enough new interest to be considered a success. It’s perfectly content with its forgettable songs, brainless dialogue, and bland predictability. If it couldn’t hold the attention of a nearly 3-year-old, how much of a chance do you think it has to bore every adult in the audience?

Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) is a stuttering blue macaw. In the first “Rio” we learned that Blu was one of two blue macaw’s left. So,

he was flown to Rio de Janeiro to mate with the last female blue macaw, Jewel (Anne Hathaway).

Time has passed and now Blu and Jewel are the parents to three rambunctious youngsters, because whenever animated movies get sequels the chances that kids are introduced to the relationship increase substantially (see: “Shrek”).

Blu and his family, living comfortably in a nature preserve, have become domesticated.

Even his daughter is carrying around an iPod, impossibly fitting the headphones into her tiny bird ear holes somehow.

Jewel isn’t satisfied with

this life. She’s afraid her family is losing that special something that makes wildlife wild.

When their human protectors, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) and Linda (Leslie Mann), expedition into the heart of the Amazon jungle, Jewel sees it as an opportunity to get her family’s wild instincts back.

If “Rio 2” is a hit at the box office, you’ll no doubt hear about how it’s an environmentalist ploy

to indoctrinate your children with tree-hugging tendencies. Yes, “Rio 2” is about a larger aspect of unnecessarily cutting down rainforests and illegal logging operations — a decent lesson for the kids, but one that is lost in the muddy mediocrity surrounding it.

There is one highlight in the movie, and that’s the cold-hearted, tattered old cockatoo Nigel (Jemaine Clement). He was the bright moment in the first movie, and he continues his strangle hold on the only interesting part of this one too.

It’s to the point where one wonders why the “Rio” movies weren’t simply centered around

him. Are we not to the point where we can focus kid’s entertainment on anti-heroes?

Not only is Nigel the only character with any sort of life, he’s also the only character with a decent song.

All the other songs in “Rio 2” are “Top of the Pops”-like fluff.

Nigel’s song, however, is a brilliant blend of pop music and Clement’s “Flight of the Conchord” roots.

Unsure of how to end the movie, the music starts swelling as an animated music video bids us adieu. Whenever an animated movie ends with a song-anddance number it’s a not so subtle indication that the entire movie went nowhere fast; a way to fit one more song on the soundtrack and brush aside any dramatic character resolutions that could’ve benefitted had they had the chance to develop in the first place. “Rio 2” is just another bright, colorful distraction for the kiddies, and another money-waster for their parents.

‘The Most Amazing Expe Cache Valley soccer players and coaches spend an eye-opening week in Nigeria It only lasted seven days, but it was a life-changing seven days for a group of 12 young women and a handful of parents and soccer coaches from Cache Valley.

You see, the group recently returned from a humanitarian project in Nigeria — an endeavor organized by the Utahbased non-profit organization Bridges to America Inc. The organization’s current project, entitled Save-A-Thon For Africa, was what took the group to Nigeria.

“It was the most amazing experience of my life,” Logan High senior Britnee West says. “I can’t talk enough about it.”

Adam Miles, the founder of Bridges to America Inc., used to live in the valley, and his daughter, Kylie, was a goalkeeper for the Logan Lynx soccer club. Miles, who currently resides in Park City, approached Logan Lynx head coach Chris Hollingsworth about doing a humanitarian project, and the rest is history — although it seemed like a pipe dream at first.

“I remember there was an email sent out, and at first I was kind of like, That’s way cool, but I don’t think that it will actually happen,” West says. “...

It was amazing just getting on that plane and being like, Wow, this is really happening.”

After a few months of dedicated fundraising — each girl was responsible for raising $1,500, while the adults who went committed to raise $2,000 — the members of the group made their way to Nigeria, where they put on soccer clinics, visited orphanages and distributed much-needed supplies.

The group of young women featured players from three different local club teams and ranged in age between 12

and 18. They flew into Lagos — the largest city not only in Nigeria, but Africa — on March 26, and spent most of their time in Osun. Like the United States, Nigeria is divided into states, and Osun is one of the country’s 36 states.

“Adam was tireless in the background working on this,” says former Logan girls coach Mitch Peterson, who made the trip with his daughter,

with their personal belongings, and the other crammed with a myriad of supplies to donate. The supplies consisted of soccer-specific items like balls, cleats and shinguards, school supplies, clothes for a wide age range and toys.

“And it wasn’t enough,” Peterson says with a laugh. “I mean, anything we had, (the Nigerian kids) wanted.”

Many of the girls crafted necklaces, bracelets and other homemade items

that’s all they’ve ever known and they’ve just learned to be so happy with it, and that was really cool to see and definitely a very humbling experience.”

Hollingsworth and West both marveled about how happy and friendly the people they met were. Both girls say that was the most unexpected reward they received from the trip.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect them to be so friendly and so willing to talk to us as much as they did,” Hollingsworth says. “So, it was really cool to get there, and all they ever wanted to do was just take pictures with us, or talk to us, or (hug) us. That was incredible.

I did not expect that at all.”

It warmed West’s heart to see the reaction she got when she waved to people on the streets. It was entirely different from the typical reaction back home, West asserts.

Each murder mystery will be presented at 7 p.m. in the Little Theatre at Sky View High School. Each production includes dinner and tickets cost $17 online at www. skyviewtix.org and $25 at the door.

Murder mystery dinner theater is a special type of theater that requires the audience to help solve the crime or crimes over a delicious meal as they watch bodies fall

Student director Reston Godwin says, “The play is set in the American Embassy in China during World War II during the celebration of the Chinese New Year. It is an exciting play of international intrigue.”

On April 21-22, “Showdown at Gambler’s Gulch” will play to Wild West enthusiasts. “Gamblers Gulch is a seemingly quiet Western settlement.

on Desert’s Edge,” a play about college students and their professors embarking on a study of nature in the desert.

Unfortunately, murder gets in their way. Peter Ahlstrom, assistant director, loves the characters and how real they are.

“The cast has a lot of good chemistry; we have a lot of comedians,” he says.

“An Heir of Mystery,” playing April 28-29, is proof of the adage: “Where there’s a will, there are 400 relatives.” Student director Tyler Dayley says, “My actors are so fun to watch. Several seem to be real experts at this type of theater. We’re having a great time!”

Finally, on May 19-20, “Space: The Fatal Frontier” will be presented by the Sky High Players.

David Sidwell, drama teacher at Sky View High School and also director of this last production, indicates, “I can’t believe how much fun we’re having! The play is so fun, being sci-fi and all, and we are having a blast making it as amazing as it can be.

All of the student directors are doing fabulously.

These shows are so fun to do, and I think audiences will enjoy these unique experiences.”

Books New bio explores the genius of John Updike

Ann Levin Associated Press

During his lifetime, John Updike was acclaimed as one of the greatest writers of his generation, the poet laureate of middle-class, small-town, Protestant America.

From the time he was a boy, submitting articles and drawings to school newspapers in his beloved hometown of Shillington, Pa., until his 2009 death at age 76, he produced an endless stream of short stories, novels, essays, poetry and criticism — more

“The more Updike one reads, and the more one learns about his life, the more blatantly obvious it becomes that he was enthralled by the detail of his own experience,” Begley writes. Yet Updike’s fiction was not merely “the prose equivalent to a live webcam,” he adds.

“He selected, he edited ... sharpening the blur of daily life so that meanings began to emerge.”

Updike called it his “relentless domestic realism,” and it reached its apogee in the four Rabbit

‘Poison Spring’ details dirty EPA history

By Jennifer Kay Associated Press

E.G. Vallianatos’ complaints about the heavy influence that large corporations wield over the U.S. government and environmental policy won’t be news to anyone who follows the debates over genetically modified crops or the ingredients in popular cosmetics. What is surprising and depressing

in “Poison Spring,” however, is when that influence began, especially over the regulation of pesticides.

According to Vallianatos, even at the dawn of the Environmental Protection Agency, when Republicans and Democrats alike claimed to be green champions, corporations were working within the agency to undermine public health and safety and protect

themselves, not the planet.

Vallianatos worked at the EPA for 25 years, starting in 1979. With journalist McKay Jenkins, he chronicles his frustrations and that of some of his colleagues over thwarted attempts to regulate and inform the public about pesticides and other chemicals used on farms and in homes.

Vallianatos’ outrage

sometimes gets bogged down in scientific jargon, but he makes a solid, damning case against putting political appointees in charge of a regulatory agency, as well as corporate claims about product safety. “Poison Spring” is Vallianatos’ call to arms, urging American consumers to hold their government accountable for policies that protect and reward polluters.

Musicians set to perform Idaho, Utah songs In late March and early April, noted musicians/musicologists Hal Cannon and Gary Eller will search Eastern Idaho and Northern Utah for songs written before the radio era (prior to 1923) about the early people, places and events of this region.

Such songs provide unique glimpses of the early culture

of the region. During the day, Cannon and Eller will scour museums, libraries and private collections for songs directly related to early Eastern Idaho/Northern Utah — everything from handed down oral tradition to handwritten lyrics to formal sheet music.

In the evenings, they will share regional music they

“But when this opportunity came up, Chris said, ‘Adam’s talking about doing this, he’s proposing it to the Lynx and would you be interested, Hanna and my daughter, and I said, ‘Yeah. I don’t know how, but yes.’”

While in Nigeria, the group visited and brought supplies to what Peterson calls “a real, traditional village,” where people lived in little huts and shacks, and subsisted in a primitive manner.

For instance, Peterson recalls people of the village climbing trees to get coconuts and extracting oils from various nuts.

The village was half Christian and half Muslim, Peterson says, which is almost unheard of on a continent that is notorious for its religious unrest.

Villagers made sure they took the group to the mosque and Christian church, Peterson says.

“The people in this village took a lot of pride in being united,” Peterson says.

Witnessing the joy of the Nigerian people in the midst of their poverty — “Sixty percent of Nigeria lives on $1 a day or less,” Peterson says — was deeply touching for Peterson.

“What I think it did for me was it connected me to something authentic and real I don’t find in a lot of my outside life, I guess,” he says. “The tradition, the tribe, the family, the survival, the rites of passage into adulthood, there’s a lot of things that I really think we miss out on. We have such an easy life. You know, that’s what the girls are walking out of there saying, ‘Geez, I’m never going to complain about it being hot today.’ ... For me personally,

it was an amazing experience to see how people adapt and survive and create happiness in their lives.”

Much of the group’s time was spent in the city of Illesa, where the girls played an exhibition match against a Nigerian youth team sponsored by the Osun government. There was even an announcer who provided commentary throughout the game, Peterson says.

Later that day, Osun dignitaries invited the group to a dinner and

While in Illesa, the group put on a two-hour soccer clinic for approximately 150 kids, Peterson estimates.

The group also made an appearance at a school for kids who are blind or have other special needs.

Additionally, the group spent time and delivered supplies at two different orphanages — one for children between the ages of 6 and 18, Peterson says, and the other for infants and toddlers. One of the babies at the orphan-

had absolutely nothing, but they’re so happy. And we have so much, yet we complain about what we don’t have. I don’t think I heard one person down there that complained about what they don’t have, so that was really inspiring to me.”

West was one of three players on the U18 Lynx squad that made the trip to Nigeria. Logan High junior Hailey Oldham and 2013 LHS graduate Alex Hollingsworth were the others.

Megan Hollingsworth was joined in Nigeria by five of her current or former U14 Lynx teammates in Noheli Mora, Kylie Miles, Elizabeth Oldham, Maizy Stull and Tabitha Smith.

Two players on the U14 Tsunami side were also part of the group, as was head coach Ray Larsen. Larsen was joined by his daughter, Kaycee, and Tsunami teammate Lucy Christensen.

Peterson’s daughter, Hanna, competes for the Thunder.

In addition to the aforementioned adults, the group was accompanied by Miles, Brandon Smith, Ed Christensen and Laurie Hemsley, plus professional photographer Travis Richardson.

“The girls worked really hard to make this happen,” Chris Hollingsworth says.

At nighttime they would go to sleep, In the morning they would creep.

Big red peony bushes by the step, Remembering them as I slept.

Snap dragons in the flower bed, That dad watered and kept fed.

Big purple plums on the tree,

In the fall we would see.

White roses that mother planted, Were never taken for granted.

It was buck in 1952, The beautiful yard where flowers grew.

Mom and dad no longer there, As I remember, as I care.

Injustice comes from, Lack of love.

Then judgement comes, Down from above.

When the race, Of life is won.

And your work, On Earth is done.

So be just to everyone, To do what’s right.

Is so much fun, And evil you will overcome.

If great the reward, You have won.

Updike Continued from Page 11 novels about everyman Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, each one set in a different decade against the backdrop of a changing America, from the 1950s through the ‘80s.

Begley, whose father, the novelist Louis Begley, was a classmate of Updike’s at Harvard, is particularly well-suited for the job of Updike biographer. In the introduction, he recounts a

family anecdote about the time that Updike visited his parents not long after he was born, saw the toddler in his baby chair, and showed off his lesser-known skills as a juggler. Young Adam laughed.

Over the decades Begley has remained a fan, yet his affection hasn’t blinded him to Updike’s shortcomings, including the oft-heard complaint that he objectified women. He sees Updike’s strengths and his weaknesses, and presents the full measure of the man in this engrossing and fair-minded book.

Wedneday, April 16, at Macey’s Little Theatre in Providence.

Most women adore chocolate, but then there’s that annoying guilt that nags at us in the back of our minds because chocolate isn’t the healthiest treat we could be enjoying. But don’t fret. Come discover the benefits of healthy chocolate, which will be taught

by NayDean Park. You must reserve a seat at the service desk, and please be on time.

Classes are for ages 10 and up.

“Spring Gardening” is the title of the class at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 17, at Macey’s Little Theatre in Providence. Each year we make a goal of growing our own fresh fruits and vegetables, but sometimes we are beginners and haven’t any idea what it takes to create a flourishing garden. Don Sproul is back in the Little Theatre once again to teach us what tools, fertilizers, etc. are required to really make a garden last. This class is great if you are a newbie to the gardening world, and even better for those with a green thumb. You must reserve a seat at the service desk.
