FROM THE EDITOR

I

t’s race season around here.

Every year in April or May 5Ks seem to pop up every weekend. So far, Cache Valley has already hosted the Shamrock Shuffle, the BraveHeart Run, the Second Chance 5K and the CAPSA Run From Violence fun run.

Forgive me if I missed one, or three.

This weekend will continue with more races, including the Child and Family Support Center’s Run from Abuse 10K, 5K and 1-mile run, and two fundraiser 5K races planned in Smithfield and at the American West Heritage

Center for two adults fighting cancer.

And perhaps there are a few I haven’t heard of?

The 5Ks around here are great because they all seem to support good causes, and since the races aren’t very long, a lot of people feel they can participate.

Plus, competing in 5Ks is hip these days.

What’s difficult is choosing which one to run.

A co-worker of mine really wanted to run the Second Chance 5K last Saturday, which raised awareness about organ donation, but he ended up at the CAPSA 5K instead, a race I competed in as well.

We’ve talked about how it’s difficult to support every race when there are so many for honorable organizations and a

bunch that overlap.

I’ve never felt like a good runner.

Instead, I’ve always felt like an off-andon poky racer. The slow and steady turtle, if you will. I tend to get out of shape every winter, then train for a couple races each summer.

I like that race organizers have been getting more creative in the last five or 10 years by adding elements like mud, color and team options to the mix. My goal for this year is to try a couple of those types of 5Ks, the first being the Color Me Rad race in Provo on Saturday.

For all the runners out there, I hope you find the right race for you this weekend. Have fun!

Carrots takes stage tonight “Anne of Green Gables,” one of the world’s most beloved novels, will be seen on stage as a musical adapted by Donald Harron at 7 p.m. April 27 and 28 by the River Heights Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The event is free to the public, but seating is limited, so audience members are advised to come early.

The show features the popular story in musical theater format, with charming songs augmenting the characters and action. Starring as Anne is Miranda O’Very of Mountain Crest High School. Her adoptive family, siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, are played by Marianne Sidwell, director of Summerfest Arts Faire, and Chris Rasmussen, orchestra director at Mount Logan Middle School and Logan High School. Members of the River Heights Stake play the other roles, including a large cast of children.

The production is directed

by David Sidwell, an adjunct professor at Utah State University.

O’Very has been seen

“We’re probably better off staying away from love and hate and sticking with like and dislike. I don’t think anyone went to war over dislike or married the wrong person in the throes of like.”

Pet: Sid From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Though

shy with strangers at first, Sid comes out of his shell quickly with sweet talk and petting. Because of his sweet, quiet nature, households with busy toddlers may not be the best fit for him. Sid has not yet been neutered and his long fur will need frequent brushing and occasional bathing to keep him looking his best.

all mixed up Jazz Kicks Band to perform Akiyoshi music

The Jazz Kicks Band will present a concert featuring the music of Toshiko Akiyoshi on Tuesday, May 1. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the USU Performance Hall.

Admission is $8 for general admission and free for all students. The Jazz Kicks Band is led by Larry Smith and is sponsored by the USU music department.

Akiyoshi was born in Manchuria. She began her piano studies at an early age. In Tokyo, at the end of World War II, she was introduced to jazz music by American GIs. She was entranced by the music and decided she wanted to devote her life to playing jazz. She was playing with local groups when she was heard by American jazz musicians and encouraged to come to the U.S. to study jazz at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. After her studies in Boston, she moved to New York City to begin her professional career. She played with top musicians (Charles Mingus, Charlie Mariano), but felt she wasn’t gaining enough recognition, so she decided to give a concert at Carnegie Hall. In this concert, she featured herself playing with a trio, and with a big band that played several of her compositions.

While getting a big band together for her concert, she

met tenor saxophonist and flutist Lew Tabackin. They soon married. Tabackin was playing in Doc Severinson’s Tonight Show Band when Johnny Carson and CBS decided to move “The Tonight Show” to California. Akiyoshi and Tabackin moved with it.

After a while, Akiyoshi felt Tabackin was getting restless, missing the vibrant New York jazz scene, so she decided to start rehearsing a big band to

add more interest to his musical life. She wrote new pieces and started forming a band to play her music. Eventually, due to the interest created by her challenging and exciting music and her use of flutes and clarinets, she had the top L.A. studio musicians playing for her. Tabackin was the featured soloist. Akiyoshi was the first woman to lead an all-male professional jazz big band.

Now, 10 years later, the Jazz Kicks Band is playing a concert of Akiyoshi’s music. Pianist Liz Woolley will be the soloist in “Harlequin Tears.”

Tenor saxophonist Mike Reeder will solo on “Song for the Harvest.” J. Paul Ward on trumpet and Tyler Whittaker on alto saxophone will be featured on the fiery samba “Success May Be Hazardous to Your Health.” “Transcience” is a solo vehicle for baritone saxophonist Jon Gudmundson.

Jim Schaub, bassist, will solo on “I Know Who Loves You.” Trumpeter Alex Meibos will solo on “Long Yellow Road.”

“Let the Tape Roll” showcases Roger Karren on trombone. Greg Wheeler’s alto saxophone will be featured on “Road Time Shuffle.” Vocalist Monica Fronk will sing several classics from the Great American Songbook including “Gone with the Wind” and Photo by Brian McMillen “The Song Is You.” The Jazz Kicks Band There was a lot of buzz includes Greg Wheeler, Tyler about the new band and many magazine and newspaper arti- Whittaker, Larry Smith, Mike Reeder and Jon Gudmunson cles were written.

Science Unwrapped to cover end of the world How will the world end? Maybe a giant asteroid will strike the Earth and send us the way of the dinosaurs. Perhaps a sizzling solar flare will knock out the world’s power and plunge millions into freezing, dark chaos. Or maybe the entire plant will simply be sucked into a black hole.

Utah State University’s Science Unwrapped welcomes celebrated astronomer Phil Plait to campus Friday, April 27, to explore this question. Plait is the author of the 2001 book “Death from the Skies: The Science Behind the End of the World” and Discover Magazine’s “Bad Astronomy” blog. He

speaks at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Center. Hosted by USU’s College of Science, the event is free and open to all ages.

Plait earned a doctorate from the University of Virginia in 1994 and helped to design NASA’s Hubble Space

Telescope.

Learning activities and refreshments follow Plait’s talk. Guests can make comets and craters, learn about space weather and find out what happens if people fall in a black hole. Weather permitting, guests can use telescopes to view craters on the moon.

Cache Valley Cancer Kids is a group of families in Cache Valley whose children have been diagnosed with cancer. They are teaming up with musicians to help raise funds for childhood cancer research and give every child a cure. A benefit concert for CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, an organization that supports and funds childhood cancer research, will be held May 3 at 7 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Childhood cancer research is underfunded which spurred the idea for the concert. In 2010, The American Cancer Society gave one penny of each dollar raised to childhood cancer research. The National Cancer Institute only

Trenton H. Chang

Sophie Spreier

donated 4 percent of their proceeds to research childhood cancers, while breast cancer received 24 percent alone. CureSearch gives 94 cents of every dollar raised to childhood cancer. The organization funds childhood cancer research at Primary Children’s Medical Center where children from Cache Valley are treated every year. Every day 36 children are diagnosed with cancer and every day seven of those children will die from childhood cancer.

At the May 3 concert, Vanessa Ballam, Stefan Espinosa, Brandon Lee, Trenton H. Chang, Sophie Spreier, Azure Kline, Nicole Tolson and Rebekah Blackner will perform.

Azure Kline

Nicole Tolson

Rebekah Blackner

Ballam and Espinosa have performed in theaters in Utah and around the country. Ballam currently serves as education director for the Utah Festival Opera and Music Theatre company and Espinosa serves as Conservatory director. Lee is a nationally acclaimed pianist and has been performing for more than 20 years. Chang, a 14-year-old pianist, was recently featured on NPR’s From the Top. Spreier and Kline will entertain on the cello, and Tolson and Blackner will play violin.

Cost for the concert is a $10 suggested donation. Ages 8 and up are welcome. For more information or to make a donation, visit cachevalleycancerkids.blogspot.com.

Color for Tessa Winger

Fundraiser includes a Splash of Color 5K, festival and concert Color for Tessa, a fundraiser for three-time cancer fighter Tessa Basset Winger, will be held April 28 at the American West Heritage Center. A Splash of Color 5K and 1-mile kids run will begin at 9 a.m. Cost is $25 for adults and $10 for kids. Runners will start the race wearing all white.

As they make their way through the course, they will be blasted with handfuls of colored cornstarch by the race crew.

A color festival with lunch, concessions, live music, a silent auction, raffle prizes, games, pony and train rides and baby animals will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $3. A Colors concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. at USU Eccles Conference Center. Cost is $10.

‘Narnia’ plays four more times this weekend “Narnia,” the musical version of C.S. Lewis’s classic “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” continues April 27 and 28 in the Dansante building.

The production is staged by two separate casts of 30 youth each. Performers range in age from 7 to 19 and are students of the Utah Festival Conservatory of the Performing Arts. Michael Ballam, who is a child at heart, guest stars as Aslan the lion.

“What makes this project such a great challenge, as well as such an important show for our students to tackle, is the sheer breadth of imagination it demands,” said Stefan Espinosa, director and Conservatory supervisor. “There are many themes throughout: courage, self-empowerment, faith and personal accountability, but the overarching message is one of limitless imagination.”

Children of all ages are welcome to attend. “Narnia” lasts just under two hours, including intermission.

The show plays April 27 at 5:30 and 8 p.m., and April 28 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 12 and younger. The recital hall holds 100 people and all performances are expected to sell out. Visit the Dansante box office at 59 S. 100 West or visit www.utahfestival.org for tickets.

Clockwise from above: Railway Banditas lead jammer Julie “Tic Tac Flo” Young tries to keep “Pickle” from the Hilltop Aces from passing her during a roller derby bout in Layton on Saturday; Young, left, tries to pass Hilltop Aces’ pivot “Cherry Von Sin;” Young leads the Railway Banditas onto the track before the bout.

GIRLS

BY JEFF HUNTER

he Doll Brawl was just over 15 minutes old when Tic Tac Flo took over as jammer for the first time of the night.

The Railway Banditas were in a huge, 37-10 hole at the time and showing little signs of life during their bout with the Hilltop Aces on the night of April 21. Jamming for the Aces was Pickle, a younger skater, who while not particularly fast on the open track, had already racked up numerous points against the Banditas with a bevy of slick moves.

At the sound of the referee’s whistle, Tic Tac Flo and Pickle quickly left the jammer start line behind, with Flo reaching the pack first. Realizing this, the Railway blockers cleared out a hole for her, and the pretty brunette hit the gap while losing little speed. As Flo was breaking loose of the pack, under the guidance of their pivot skater, the rest of the Banditas turned their concentration towards Pickle, who soon found herself all bottled up.

Skating smoothly by herself around the oval taped out on the floor of the Eclipse Expo Hall at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Tic Tac Flo caught up to the back of the pack in no time.

Now the lead jammer, she found the going tough, however, and received a big bump from a much larger Hilltop skater known as Cherry Von Sin. Although she managed to stay on her skates after her battle with Sin, Tic Tac Flo promptly absorbed another shot from Aces’ blocker Slayer Cake. Forced off the track on the inside, Flo had to slide to the back of the pack. But that seemed to relax the Aces and within seconds, Tic Tac Flo found a crease on the inside and lapped all five of Hilltop skaters.

With Pickle still caught up in traffic, Flo decided to take the five points and signaled the end of the jam by placing her hands on her hips. As the Railway fans ringing the track cheered, Flo’s teammates immediately swung into action and started getting organized for the next jam, which would start in just 30 seconds.

The Banditas were still way back, but at least they finally had some momentum going their way.

W

hile the Railway Banditas were unable to completely rebound from their early deficit and lost to the Aces, 118-99, roller derby as a sport is clearly making a comeback throughout the world.

Most popular in the late 1950s and the ’60s when bouts were often broadcast on national television, roller derby all but disappeared in the United States in the following decades. Amateur, all-female leagues started popping up in the early 2000s, however, and the release of the movie “Whip It” in 2009 helped create some additional interest in the sport.

There are now about a halfdozen roller derby leagues in Utah, although none in Cache Valley. But because of their passion for the sport, a handful of women from the extreme north end of the state spend hours every week driving down to the Wasatch Front to skate. The closest of the leagues, the Junction City Roller Dolls, is based in Ogden and fields three home teams (the Railway Banditas, Hilltop Aces and the Aftershocks), as well as a traveling squad made of the league’s top skaters known as the Junction City Trainwrecks.

he Doll Brawl was just over 15 minutes old when Tic Tac Flo took over as jammer for the first time of the night.

The Railway Banditas were in a huge, 37-10 hole at the time and showing little signs of life during their bout with the Hilltop Aces on the night of April 21. Jamming for the Aces was Pickle, a younger skater, who while not particularly fast on the open track, had already racked up numerous points against the Banditas with a bevy of slick moves.

At the sound of the referee’s whistle, Tic Tac Flo and Pickle quickly left the jammer start line behind, with Flo reaching the pack first. Realizing this, the Railway blockers cleared out a hole for her, and the pretty brunette hit the gap while losing little speed. As Flo was breaking loose of the pack, under the guidance of their pivot skater, the rest of the Banditas turned their concentration towards Pickle, who soon found herself all bottled up.

Skating smoothly by herself around the oval taped out on the floor of the Eclipse Expo Hall at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Tic Tac Flo caught up to the back of the pack in no time.

Now the lead jammer, she found the going tough, however, and received a big bump from a much larger Hilltop skater known as Cherry Von Sin. Although she managed to stay on her skates after her battle with Sin, Tic Tac Flo promptly absorbed another shot from Aces’ blocker Slayer Cake. Forced off the track on the inside, Flo had to slide to the back of the pack. But that seemed to relax the Aces and within seconds, Tic Tac Flo found a crease on the inside and lapped all five of Hilltop skaters.

With Pickle still caught up in traffic, Flo decided to take the five points and signaled the end of the jam by placing her hands on her hips. As the Railway fans ringing the track cheered, Flo’s teammates immediately swung into action and started getting organized for the next jam, which would start in just 30 seconds.

The Banditas were still way back, but at least they finally had some momentum going their way.

W

hile the Railway Banditas were unable to completely rebound from their early deficit and lost to the Aces, 118-99, roller derby as a sport is clearly making a comeback throughout the world.

Most popular in the late 1950s and the ’60s when bouts were often broadcast on national television, roller derby all but disappeared in the United States in the following decades. Amateur, all-female leagues started popping up in the early 2000s, however, and the release of the movie “Whip It” in 2009 helped create some additional interest in the sport.

There are now about a halfdozen roller derby leagues in Utah, although none in Cache Valley. But because of their passion for the sport, a handful of women from the extreme north end of the state spend hours every week driving down to the Wasatch Front to skate. The closest of the leagues, the Junction City Roller Dolls, is based in Ogden and fields three home teams (the Railway Banditas, Hilltop Aces and the Aftershocks), as well as a traveling squad made of the league’s top skaters known as the Junction City Trainwrecks.

Raven

gives it his all. Whether or not his character reflects the way Poe really acted is irrelevant.

It’s fun seeing Cusack lost in the role, spouting off poetry at a steady clip, badgering bartenders who are sick of him drinking and not paying, coming up with insults only a literary genius could think up. That’s where the real fun and

games are. The whole serial killer nonsense feels tacked on and silly.

Now that this movie is out of the way, how about someone make a true-to-life biopic of Poe starring Cusack in the role. I have a feeling that would be a much better use of film.

Continued from p. 7 If you end up going to see “The Raven,” the real reason to watch it is Cusack’s performance.

It’s obvious that he knows he’s in a less-thanstellar movie, but, like Nicholas Cage, he still

Alvarez crosses borders for ‘A Wedding in Haiti’

By Jennifer Kay Associated Press

Wedding invitations are meant to be joyous proclamations, but Julia Alvarez received one in 2009 that she had hoped would never come.

A casual promise to attend a young employee’s wedding was suddenly, firmly, expected to be fulfilled, but doing so required a trip to Haiti, a place the Dominican-American writer never intended to explore.

“A Wedding in Haiti” is Alvarez’s account of how she reluctantly visited the other side of her parents’ homeland and found family connections in spite of language and circumstance.

Sky View teacher to release summer serialized novel Marty Reeder, creative writing teacher at Sky View High School, will spend his summer writing, editing and releasing one chapter of a new novel to the public each week.

His project begins June 5 and has been funded through family, friends, local businesses and strangers. He said he was inspired to write his serialized novel after reading similar works by Charles Dickens, Jules Verne and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Reeder’s novel, “Once Upon a Fjord,” will be a young adult fiction book based on an 11-year-old Norwegian boy who meets a helpful Finnish sailor after tragedy strikes.

Those who donate to Reeder’s project through www.kickstarter. com, will receive emails of each chapter and other rewards.

Search for “Once Upon a Fjord” on the website. Donations will be accepted through May 1.

The Dominican Republic shares the Caribbean island of Hispanola with Haiti, but Alvarez, known for exploring her heritage in her writing,

including her novel “How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents,” never crossed the border until Piti’s wedding.

Alvarez met the Haitian teen called “Piti” for his small size in 2001. He had come to the Dominican Republic to find work, and over the years he became like a son to Alvarez and her husband, who run a coffee farm in the country’s mountains.

In 2009, he invited Alvarez and her husband to his wedding in northwestern Haiti.

The next year, Alvarez drove Piti and his wife back to their families to check in after a catastrophic earthquake leveled much of Haiti’s capital, throwing the small, vulnerable country into greater

Brennan writes chilling gem

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

An FBI trainee ends up over her head when she helps investigate a congressional sex scandal in “Silenced,” the latest in the Lucy Kincaid series by Allison Brennan.

Lucy is rising up the ranks of the FBI, and she’s ready for her final round of training. A woman found dead in a park appears to be the victim of a sexual attack. When she’s identified as the mistress of a congressman, the case appears to be a slam-dunk. Then another woman is murdered and the evidence reveals she was a high-class prostitute with several well-known clients. Is the congressman covering his tracks?

A simple case becomes complicated when Lucy’s P.I. boyfriend helps her with the investigation. They quickly discover a witness who appears to know the killer’s identity and the truth behind the deaths.

uncertainty.

“A Wedding in Haiti” is an open-eyed view of Haiti before and after the earthquake. Alvarez has no agenda for her visits, other than attending to people she considers family; she’s not a missionary, she’s not a journalist, she’s not there to save anyone or rail against foreign policy.

Her small traveling group packed in her husband’s pickup truck lacks a security detail. “We’re just here to look,” Alvarez tells someone who inquires about what a white couple is doing in a Haitian bakery on their own.

Though Alvarez is naive

about what it takes to survive in Haiti and navigate its border with the Dominican Republic, her lack of cynicism leaves her open to the small but not insignificant victories of ordinary life: the sweetness of fruit that seemed too scrawny in the basket, the tidy order of a dirt yard freshly swept in the morning, the box of spaghetti that had to be delivered by car, not on foot, because a homecoming is a kind of ceremony.

“A Wedding in Haiti” is Alvarez’s view into the rural Haitian family life that never makes the news.

Continued from p. 9 Soon Bursztyn was hooked and when she was trying to decide where to pursue her Ph.D, having a roller derby league nearby was a factor. She’s playing with the Aftershocks this year, as well as traveling with the Trainwrecks.

Amanda Howard, who started a roller derby club at Utah State, recently moved to Ogden, while another skater, Ingrid VanZanten, temporarily left the league when her college schedule became too demanding. Two other Cache Valley skaters, Amber Greening and Nina McDermott, have joined JCRD’s “Fresh Meat” program that requires newcomers to display a certain level of skating competency before competing in an official bout.

“It’s a huge commitment,” Young said. “Practice is twice a week for three hours, if you’re on the travel team, and you have to be geared up and ready to go.”

“So, that makes it like six hours a practice for those of us who have to drive down there,” Bursztyn noted.

Although Bursztyn and the Aftershocks didn’t compete in the Doll Brawl on April 21, she still went down for the day with Young. And that day started in Layton at 8 a.m. with them and some other skaters taping out the track on the floor of the expo hall so the teams could practice
