FROM THE EDITOR Alright. Alright. I don’t care what the wet, cold weather outside says. After spending a little time up at Beaver Mountain Ski Area last weekend watching the annual RMSHA hillclimb, I am declaring that winter is officially done, and we’re on to spring and summer.

So, I’m going to go ahead and put those winter coats, hats and gloves away, and make more room for shorts, hiking boots

and sunscreen (which I actually could have used some of while up at Beaver, when the sun would occasionally break through the clouds).

As you can see in this issue, I’m not the only one who is feeling anxious to do something different. There are a lot of events coming up the next couple of weeks, and I worked in as many as I could, whether it was a short story, a brief or a calendar item. Even then, I’m sure I probably managed to forget something, so I apologize if that was the case with something that you’re passionate about.

That said, quite possibly the most excit-

ing event of this weekend is the inaugural Soapbox Derby at the mouth of Green Canyon in North Logan. Organized by engineering students from Utah State University, the race along 1900 North is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Saturday.

I have no idea what to expect as far as the caliber of vehicles and competitors, but there’s likely to be at least a little bit of carnage and a whole lot of laughs.

Kind of like the hillclimb at The Beav, only going with gravity rather than battling against it.

Smithfield troupe to present trio of mysteries at SVHS Auditorium The Sky High Players will present three Murder Mystery Dessert Theatre evenings at 7 p.m. April 25-29, with a matinee of one of the productions at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 29.

The family-friendly productions: “An Heir of Mystery,” “Space: The Fatal Frontier” and “Death on Deck” are popular mysteries by Utah playwright Jim Christian. Audiences look for clues and try to solve the mysteries as they watch the show at the Sky View High School Auditorium in Smithfield.

Tickets to the Sky High Players’ performances are $6 per seat, payable at the door only. Dessert will be served.

For more information and

“An Heir of Mystery” is one of three productions being presented by the Sky High Players April 25-29 at the SVHS Auditorium in Smithfield.

specific show dates, visit sky highplayers.org.

“An Heir of Mystery,” playing April 25 and 28, con-

cerns the despicable inheritor-wannabes who seem to be unable to go low enough to rob the fortune from the

others. Characters include a narcoleptic butler, a clairvoyant, a clever maid, and other zany heirs who put on airs to

get what they want.

Audiences will wonder who is the captain of the ship in the sci-fi thriller, “Space: The Fatal Frontier,” playing April 26 and a matinee on April 29. Since Earth has been taken over by the alien Plasticons, their only hope is discovering the correct captain amongst various “Star Trek” references, alien beings, amazed Texans, and a snarky robot.

In “Death on Deck,” playing April 27 and 29, not only do audiences get to watch the swashbuckling antics of inept pirates as they take over the contemporary cruise liner the S.S. Enchantment, they get to play bingo and look for dead bodies, while snacking on cupcakes. It is most probably a wild time for all.

Tickets are available at the door only (no credit cards, please). Questions about the shows can be directed to Sky High Players’ box office during school hours at 5636273.

Little Bloomsbury coming up next weekend The 11th annual Little Bloomsbury Art Festival and Concert Series will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 27-29, at 181 N. 200 East — “where the teepee is.”

Free and open to all ages, this year’s festival is entitled “Peace and Hope.” Refreshments will be served.

Entertainment includes a magic show by Steve Viator and a concert with the Utah Storytelling Guild at 6:30 p.m. Thursday; an eclectic “Hope Concert”

by Esther Oluwalana and Philip

Coburn at 6:30 p.m. Friday; and a classical and contemporary “Spreading Love Concert” by pianist/author Dianne Hardy at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Featured artists include Amanda LaMont, Andi Jorgensen, Andy Worrall, Arlett Falslev Garcia, Aubrey Houskeeper, Daniel Johnson, Debi Bond, Eiko Anderson, Emalie Ball, Helen Barnes, Kathryn Howes, Kayla Rich, Kaylie Gage, Kevin King, Kristi South, Maria Ellen Huebner, McKell Flick and Richard Bland.

The Little Bloomsbury Art Festival’s Humanitarian Service Partner is Fight the New Drug, an organization started at Utah State University by Logan native Clay Olsen that is battling against pornography.

“We no longer have the luxury to sit idly by and do nothing,” Olsen says. “We must open our eyes to these realities and work together to find solutions.

Fight the New Drug’s “Fortify Program” is an online addiction recovery resource that helps individuals overcome

their struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors with more than 65,000 users in over 150 countries.

“Clay and his organization have created a global phenomenon in restoring confidence and hope in individuals and uniting families through scientifically and fact-based educational and recovery resources,” says Dr. B. C. Sun, founding executive director of the Little Bloomsbury Foundation. “And the fact that he started this movement while he was a stu-

dent at USU means a lot to us.”

“Acknowledging pornography as an epidemic that affects all of us,” Sun continues. “The Little Bloomsbury community of artists, musicians, and storytellers wish to add to the arsenal of individuals and families who are fighting ‘the new drug’ and other forms of behavioral and substance addictions with meaningful alternatives in the arts and humanities.”

all mixed up Night Ranger to rock Cruise-In After a two-summer hiatus, the annual Cache Valley Cruise-In will once again include a concert by a major musical act.

Night Ranger will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, June 30, at the Cache County Fairgrounds, marking the first time since a performance by REO Speedwagon in 2014 that the Cache

Valley Cruise-In has hosted a concert.

“The reason we felt a need to bring back the concert was because people wanted it,” explained Brandon Douglas, a member of the Cache Valley Cruising Association committee.

“They asked for it. We started a tradition, and I think we should probably

keep it around as long as people are willing to come out and support it.”

Tickets for the Night Ranger concert are on sale now at Lee’s Marketplace locations, as well as online at cachevalleycruisein.com and nightranger.com.

Ticket prices are $65 (floor front), $45 (floor middle) and $25 (floor back

and bleachers). Special VIP packages are also available for $300 and $150.

Best known for the 1984 power ballad, “Sister Christian,” Night Ranger is celebrating their 35th anniversary this year and released their 12th studio album, “Don’t Let Up,”on March 24.

So, have you thought about the work performed at the Hyrum Dam and Reservoir? Or, do you realize that irrigation, not recreation is the whole reason it was constructed and that the original irrigation pipes and gates are still in use today?

A

portrait of your progenitors may be sitting in the basement of a downtown Logan building, but a local group is working to get them digitized and onto the internet.

Thatchers, Maughans, Crookstons, Cards, Obrays, Worleys, Thomases, Reeses and Griffiths — about 200 portraits from Cache Valley settlers have been collected and stored in the basement below the Cache Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum. The museum shares a building with the Cache Chamber of Commerce, at 160 N. Main in Logan.

Sharon Johnson, member of the Cache DUP Museum Board, said a grant from the Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board is helping the DUP digitize these portraits before they’re further faded by exposure to light or damaged by humidity.

For years, ortraits had been sitting in stacks f the way, but recently the DUP a storage rack about 12 feet and 8 feet tall to help protect ortrait collection. Even then, the um doesn’t have room for any portraits.

“Part of our mission is to preserve the history of these people and to preserve their portraits, but we don’t want everybody bringing every one of their crayon portraits down to us … Because we can’t accommodate them,” Johnson said. “We can only store so many, because they’re so bulky.”

Many of the portraits in the DUP museum are “crayon portraits.”

Families would send their smaller photographs to companies to produce portraits. First, the company would use a solar enlarging camera to create a faint enlargement of the photo on a larger piece of paper. Artists would then draw over the top of the faint images, adding contrast and sometimes drawing in details like clothing and backgrounds that were outside of the solar enlarger’s scope.

Crayon portraits were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, since portraits were previously only available to more wealthy families, Johnson said. Then in the 1920s, crayon portraiture fell out of vogue and many local families donated their portraits to the DUP. “Initially, it was cool to have a picture of your ancestor in your home,” Johnson said. “It was this connection to your past. And then by the 1920s, it was like, ‘We don’t care, we can have that some other way.’”

Museum Docent Sandy Pitcher said it breaks her heart to see portraits similar to those in the DUP collection for sale in antique stores.

“It’s like, this was somebody’s relative, and here it is in an antique shop,” Pitcher said. “Somebody just threw it out.”

While the museum isn’t accepting more portraits due to their storage limitations, they are planning a workshop for people looking to preserve their own family photographs or portraits, according to DUP Museum Board Member Helen Rigby.

Some of the paper crayon portraits are mounted onto canvas, making them very difficult to remove from frames without shattering the paper or otherwise damaging the portrait.

Framed portraits will be photographed, rather than scanned, to digitize them.

Properly preserving the original portraits and their frames could take tens of thousands of dollars, Johnson said, making digitization one of the best ways to preserve this piece of local history.

Kids still prefer television for viewing

But children do love their other electronic devices NEW YORK (AP) — Grace Ellis has never known a time when you needed a TV to watch TV. The North Attleboro, Massachusetts, fifthgrader watches shows like “Liv and Maddie,” ‘’Jessie” and “The Lodge” on her laptop, iPad and phone.

“Sometimes I watch TV in the car,” she says. “I have ballet every day, so I watch on the way.”

She has a TV in her bedroom that isn’t hooked up to cable but

Why not? From birth, screen has advantages theirs has been a world of its own. of video digitally issuing “It’s much bigger,” from every screen.

In this 1953 file photo, four children watch a television in Baltimore, Maryland. Ever since Howdy Doody ushered in children’s television nearly 70 years ago, each new generation of viewers has been treated to a growing bounty of programs on a mushrooming selection of gadgetry.

their eyes, that network’s programing will be there.

Even so, it may be surprising that children nonetheless watch most television on, well, a television.

As in: old-fashioned linear, while-it’s-actuallyairing telecasts.

A new Nielsen study finds that in the fourth quarter of 2016, viewers aged 2-11 averaged about 17 hours of live (not timeshifted) TV each week.

Granted, that’s a drop of about 90 minutes weekly from the year before. But by comparison, kids in fourth quarter 2016 spent about 4½ hours weekly watching video content on other devices.

“Linear TV is still the lion’s share of where kids’ time is spent,” says Jane Gould, senior vice president for consumer insights for Disney Channel. “But it’s important for us to be in all the OTHER places where they are, as well.”

One reason: Those other outlets can pave the way for a new program’s arrival on linear TV. Gould points to “Andi

Mack,” an ambitious comedy-drama that debuted on Disney Channel on April 7. Weeks before it landed there, the series could be sampled on digital platforms including the Disney Channel app, Disney.com, Disney Channel YouTube, iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.

Count Grace Ellis among the legions of kids whose attention was snagged by this megabuildup. When “Andi Mack” premiered, Grace was one of the 9 million TV viewers who tuned in.

When “Sesame Street” premiered on PBS back in 1969, it joined a bare handful of TV shows (chief among them “Captain Kangaroo” and “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”) devoted to uplifting their young audience.

Nearly a half-century later, “Sesame Street” is going strong.

“PBS is still at its core,” says Sesame Workshop COO Steve Youngwood.

So is TV overall, as demonstrated by the series expanding to HBO a

year ago. TV currently accounts for 40 percent of its viewership.

But “Sesame Street” has never stopped adapting to an evolving media landscape that today finds 18 percent of its audience viewing on tablets, 14 percent on mobile phones and 25 percent on other streaming devices and computers.

That includes YouTube, where its program content has been a presence for some time.

Now it’s getting special focus with the launch of Sesame Studios, which Youngwood describes as “a separate production unit specifically for that platform. We want to harness the power of YouTube to educate kids just like we harnessed the power of TV 50 years ago.”

A half-century ago “streaming video” was an unimagined wonder. But today’s TV landscape has been upended by this technology, and by major streaming-video outlets like Hulu, Amazon and Netflix as they aggressively vie for kids’ (as well as everybody else’s) attention.

Netflix famously doesn’t disclose viewership figures. But according to Andy Yeatman, director of global kids content, “About half of our members around the world watch kids’ content on a regular basis. So it’s a very large, engaged audience.

“Between new and returning series last year, we added 35 new seasons of kids’ originals,” he says. Similar expansion is projected this year.

In a bygone era with just a handful of TV channels, kids could See KIDS on Page 11

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

It isn’t often that a movie’s title insists what you should think about it. Like its abusive Stepford Wife star character, “Unforgettable” blames you for not thinking what it thinks about itself. Or worse, what it thinks you should think about it.

Sure, there are plenty of movies out there about homicidal jilted exes. It’s not like this is a revelatory idea or anything. Being unoriginal isn’t even its most glaring issue, though. The worst aspect of “Unforgettable” is that it isn’t crazy enough. The way to sell this material is up the bonkers quotient.

In its current state this is a passable Lifetime Movie of the Week. It could’ve been so much more.

Unfortunately, if you’ve seen any sort of advertising for this you know what you’re getting into. Just know going in that there are no surprises.

Everything you thought would happen, does. The way you thought it would play out, is how it transpires.

It never deviates from its course. It never spices up its narrative. It never attempts to take any chances.

Slow and steady might win some races, but here

Logan High to present two British comedies Logan High School presents two delightful British farces running in rotation at 7:30 p.m. April 28-29 and May 1-2 in the Logan High School Auditorium.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for students and children and will be available at the door.

Showing on April 28 and May 1 is Noel Coward’s improbable farce “Blithe Spirit.”

The play is set in the home of novelist Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his first wife Elvira, who appears after the séance. She makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’s marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear

Elvira.

Showing on April 29 and May 2 is the rollicking farce “See How They Run”

by Philip King.

Galloping in and out of the doors of an English vicarage are an American actor and actress (he is now stationed with the Air Force in England and she is married to the local vicar), a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” four men in clergyman suits presenting the problem of which is which, and a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings-on and the trumped up stories they tell him.

So swift is the action, so involved the situations, so rib-tickling the plot in this London hit that at its finish audiences are left as exhausted from laughter as though they had run a foot race.

Wind Coulbrooke poetry USU concert set book coming out for April 28 Logan City Poet Laureate Star Coulbrooke has released a new poetry collection, “Thin Spines of Memory,” published by Helicon West Press.

The poems in this volume are centered around Coulbrooke’s formative years on a small family farm near the Bear River in Southeastern Idaho. Themes that recur in the book are fire, water and family. Topics range from the perils of rural childhood and the loss of innocence to the idyllic sense of wild nature supposedly tamed to a pastoral setting, tucked into the antics of animals and the progression of seasons.

USU art professor Jane Catlin contributed a work titled Coalesce for the cover. The colors and textures of the piece, created with transfers, paint, and pencil on Mylar, are reminiscent, to Coulbrooke, of the river and landscape in her poems. The images in the artwork — fronds of river grass, amoebic water creatures, shadowy layers of spongy or spiny greenery — seem to wave and scintillate as if in ripples of water.

Coulbrooke, a longtime admirer of Catlin’s art, invited her to contribute the piece. “It reflects the mystery, danger, and beauty,” she says, “of the river I’ve loved all my life; it conveys the sense of loss and redemption that I hope the poems contain.”

A book launch for Thin Spines of Memory will begin at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 30, on the third floor of the Bluebird Restaurant with a reception, reading and booksigning. The event is BYOB (bring your own beverage) with light refreshments. Free and open to the public. Come celebrate with the poet laureate and support your local arts community.

even that’s not enough.

“What they really look for is, to be surprised,” says Disney Channel’s Gould. “That’s the real challenge: How do we surprise and delight them?”

Schulman of the Katz Media Group has her own prediction for where the next

round of surprises might be waiting.

“Virtual reality has been hard to get off the ground, but kids are all about immersive experiences,” she says. When VR is ready for them, “that’s probably going to be the next big thing.”
