Union Pacific’s “Living Legend” No. 844 steam locomotive paid a brief visit to Cache Junction Tuesday morning on its way to Ogden. (John Zsiray/Herald Journal). Gavan Pearson as Hosiah Ward, Megan Gwynn as Alma Ward, Jenna Pack as Girl perform during the dress rehearsal of “Mother Hicks” Tuesday at Mountain Crest High School in Hyrum. Students will perform the play, written by Suzan Zeder, at 7 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Monday in the MCHS Auditorium.

FROM THE EDITOR It’s a big week at Utah State University next week. In addition to the normal festivities surrounding graduate and undergradutate commencement ceremonies on Friday and Saturday, respectively, USU will also hold presidential inauguration ceremonies for the first time in a quarter of a century. It’s really hard to believe, but the last inauguration ceremony at Utah State

University was held for George Emert in 1992, a date noteworthy to me because it came less than a year after I first relocated to Cache Valley. Noelle Cockett, of course, has already been serving as USU’s 16th president since the first of the year. However, her official installation ceremony will take place next Saturday during commencement services at the Spectrum, a couple of days after a concert, inaugural address and a reception after held in downtown Logan. Those events are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The concert and address are free

and open to the public, but if you wish to attend, you must obtain a ticket. To reserve a seat, visit usu.edu/president/ inauguration. Seats have been going quickly, but if you’re not able to get into the Eccles Theatre in person, the event will be streamed live online at AggieCast. It should be a great weekend at Utah State University and in Logan. And inasmuch as USU is my alma mater, I certainly hope that it’s a very memorable few days for President Cockett and Aggies everywhere. — Jeff Hunter

Smithfield troupe now presenting three shows 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

“Death on Deck” is one of three productions being presented by the Sky High Players through this weekend at the SKy View High School 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 Festival underway now 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.” Visit fightthenewdrug.org and littlebloomsbury.org for more information.

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.

Coulbrooke set to release book 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. The event is free and open to the public.

specific reference to guest artist Randol Bass, who has amassed a myriad of works as one the United States’ most prolific composers and arrangers for more than 40 years. Bass will join the Wind Orchestra in multiple capacities for the evening. He will conduct and perform on piano among several of his own compositions of various

styles. As a pianist, Bass will perform the epic piano concerto, “Variations on a Nursery Tune” by Ernst von Dohnanyi, and be guest composer/conductor for several other works, including “Baile de Fuego, Three Vignettes” for trombone solo and wind ensemble, and “A New Birth of Freedom” for narrator and band.

LHS presents pair of plays 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.

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

Full Steam ahead with old No. 844 Vintage railroad fans gather for look at steam locomotive out of Cheyenne, Wyoming A lot can be learned from a smile. It would have been hard to find a face — young or old — that wasn’t sporting an ear-to-ear grin that almost captured the size of the Union Pacific’s “Living Legend” as it pulled into Cache Junction Tuesday morning. As No. 844 swung its 115-foot, semigloss black figure into the small railroad stop in northwestern Cache County for the first time in nearly 20 years, the large group of people swarming around the tracks may well have resembled the throng that gathered for Theodore Roosevelt’s whistle stop in 1912. As the last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific, the high-speed engine was greeted by an estimated crowd of 700 people that stretched from the bridge over Cutler Reservoir up to State Route 23. No. 844 pulled six iconic “Union Pacific Yellow” cars, one of which was a Challenger “Vista Dome” car from the ‘40s that offered panoramic views to riders on their journey. Cache Valley railfan and Lionel train collector Andy Pederson — also known locally to Utah State fans as Captain Aggie — was on hand for the whistle stop equipped with his harmonica. “I’m a train fanatic,” Pederson said between embouchures. “I’ve ridden behind this engine several times as See STEAM on Page 10

I consider myself more of a trend observer than a trendsetter. Trending lately seems to be chorizo, which is available at Maverik and as a new Spam (the meat-ish product, not the internet) flavor, so you know it must be good. Also trending is chipotle-flavored everything, including a restaurant-ish place by the same name. The third and most personally annoying trend is introvert envy. There are more than 15 legitimate books on introverts that show up on an Internet search including of course “How to be an Introvert for Dum-

Being an introvert was something I and my fellow intros held onto tightly as something that made us unique; even if painfully so. That’s why we need to be entrepreneurial and start instructing the screeching extroverts how to pass as introverts in their job interviews. Let mies.” Come to think of me give you a few introit, dummies are probably also trending because they ductory lessons: • The 10-foot rule: There have their own section is some arcane business in the bookstore and two branches of the government trope that says if a customnow.

Introverts are (very quietly) setting a trend them. By engage, I mean asking some rhetorical question such as “How’s it going?” or “Can I help you?” If you want to pass as an introvert you need to learn to anticipate your path and circle around sales and service people. Failing that, just pretend to be looking at your phone so you don’t have to interact; this is believable in most situations. • Carpooling: What sounds like a fun road trip to extroverts sounds like mobile waterboarding to introverts. If you want to pass for, introverted you need to come up with excuses why you need to just “meet you there” even if it is a 500-mile trip. Eluding to contagious

diseases usually works or you can go with the more mundane, “I have to make some other stops along the way.” • Pretend to listen to people: This will drive extroverts to head explosion, but you need to at least feign listening to people before you jump in with your super awesome opinion. It will also be more convincing if you throw in real questions. Try replacing “How’s it going?” with “Do you think that genetic editing will save or destroy the world?” Alternately replace “What are you doing this weekend?” with “How do you think climate change will impact lawn mower sales?”

• Eschew collaborative workspaces: I honestly don’t think these work for anyone; they are just a cost-cutting ploy by building designers who will never have to work in the buildings they design. “Hey, if we eliminate several of these walls and doors. we can sell it as ‘collaborative.’” Similar to the vanpool scenario, you can claim to have clinical claustrophobia and/or turrets syndrome. I could tell you more but that might keep you from purchasing the entire course: “7 Steps to Pretending to be an Introvert.” ———

Johnson just wants to entertain you LOS ANGELES (AP) — In 2000, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was trying to break into Hollywood. He was off to an OK start. The pro-wrestler already had a following, a role in “The Mummy Returns” and high-wattage charm. He also had no acting experience, no idea how Hollywood worked, and, besides a few idols in Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger, no blueprint for success. “I couldn’t say, ‘Oh, let me just follow the half-black and half-Samoan actor who was also a wrestler. Let me follow his path.’ That wasn’t an option, that wasn’t there. So I was forced to create my own,” Johnson said recently. “I have an ideology that I always like to share with the inner group, and with some people on the outside, and I’ll share it with you: I don’t just want to play the game. I want to change the way the game is played.” And he did, becoming one of the world’s biggest movie stars in the process, with a booming production company,

a year-round filming schedule, 84.4 million followers on Instagram, 11.2 million on Twitter and a reported $64.5 million salary in 2016 that

put him at the top of Forbes’ highest-paid actors list. “Alone among his generation, Dwayne Johnson has aimed for middle of the road,

broad, appealing, leading man status,” said Richard Rushfield, who runs the Hollywood newsletter The Ankler. “While his peers have carved out more

edgy, cool, of-the-moment profiles, Johnson has assiduously whittled down the rough edges of his early ‘The Rock’ wrestling persona.” Simply, the 44-year-old superstar is an entertainment machine and, like Schwarzenegger before him, summer is his main stage. There’s his pre-summer “Fast and the Furious” movies, which Johnson is credited as helping to revitalize. The latest is expected to cross $1 billion globally this week. But Johnson has also proven himself to be a summer draw on his own in leading roles in the disaster pic “San Andreas” in 2015 and the buddy comedy “Central Intelligence” in 2016. This summer, he’s betting on “Baywatch,” out May 25, as a potential new franchise. “I love being able to create big movies or TV shows that entertain people, that make them happy.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Fate of the Furious” sped into first place at the box office again, leaving new thriller “Unforgettable” and historical drama “The Promise” in the dust. Universal Pictures’ eighth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise earned $38.7 million in North American theaters over the weekend, down 61 percent from its debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. The newcomers could not compete with the high-octane film, which had the biggest worldwide opening of all time last weekend. It has earned $908.4 million globally so far and is expected to cross $1 billion this week. Holdovers dominated the charts on this quiet weekend in theaters. “The Boss Baby” took second place with $12.8 million, and “Beauty and the Beast” landed in third with $10 million. Disney’s animal documentary “Born in China” opened in fourth place, with $5.1 million from 1,508 locations. The two

The Old Barn Community Theatre in Collinston will present “The Mousetrap” on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays April 28 to May 20.

‘Mousetrap’ set on the Old Barn stage Don’t miss the Old Barn Community Theatre’s production of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery “The Mousetrap.” A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, a spinster with a curious background, an architect better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange man who claims his car has overturned in a snow drift and a magistrate who makes life miserable for everyone. This play is based on

Agatha Christie’s story “Three Blind Mice,” “The Mousetrap” includes one of Chrisite’s switch finishes. Performances of the “The Mousetrap” will be presented every Monday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. from April 28 to May 20 at the Old Barn Community Theatre in Collinston. In addition, matinees will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, and Saturday, May 13. Tickets can be purchased online at oldbarn.org, or by phone reservation at (435) 458-2276. Tickets are $9 for adults; $8 for children and seniors.

The audience is king. And he’s going to put in the work to make sure they’re smiling. It’s that thinking that led him to the “Baywatch” movie. Johnson was a teenager when the show was at the height of its popularity. He appreciated the “sexiness” of it, but also considered it kind of cheesy. Then, about five years ago, he was told it was the most successful television show of all time —

I’ve ridden it to Portland before, and it is impressive.” Along with the crowd, Pederson marveled at the sheer size of the 907,980 pounds — the equivalent of 140 full-size trucks — of steel rolling on its massive 80-inch drive wheels. “Steam engines are the most impressive machine made that we can watch go,” he said. “There is nothing as big as these. You can’t even imagine how they built some of these locomotives. When you see a wheel that is as big as you are: How do you put a rim on something like that.” Fourth-graders from Birttny Amott’s class at Mountainside Elementary in Mendon were fortunate enough to jump on a bus and witness the locomotive’s visit. Of the students, Zach Christensen said it was neat to have the “steam car” come back to Cache Valley for the first time in 20 years. With children of all ages lining both the east and west sides of the track as the train was thundering into Cache Junction, one parent was heard asking, “Now this was better than school today, wasn’t it?” Former Representative Stephen Bodily was on hand for the event, noting that in 1996 an unparalleled global hit. And that settled it. Johnson would have to don the red trunks. The film is not the television show, nor is it trying to be. There are still red suits, and the babes and the bodies and some of the same names (Johnson is Mitch Buchannon, the role originated by David Hasselhoff), but he says their movie is funnier, raunchier, more actionpacked and, well, more selfaware. The cast includes Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario and Priyanka Chopra. “I always say, I have one boss. Not the movie studios ... The audience. The people. They’ll dictate if there’s anoth-

representatives from around the state went on a “train excursion” to commemorate the Utah Centennial. After a blast from its piercing steam whistle, the locomotive departed Cache Junction as it steamed through Bear River Canyon toward Brigham City. Despite a slow climb into Box Elder County, the locomotive opened up clinging to the

four-foot, eight-and-a-halfinch wide track as it raced effortlessly with the trailing cars toward Brigham City. Upon conclusion of the nearly 1,600-mile “Boise Turn Special,” the locomotive will take a month-long rest at the Union Pacific Steam Shop in Cheyenne before embarking in June for Omaha to attend the College World Series.

er one,” Johnson said. “I think we have a good shot.” His philosophy for what works is pretty simple, too. Balance great action with genuine humor and you will usually send the audience home not just happy, but “floating.” “You know that cool feeling that you feel when you walk out of the theater thinking, ‘That was the greatest movie!’ And you’re kind of floating and talking about it in the car? I like that kind of thing,” he said. And he’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that, even if it means 4 a.m. wake up calls, promoting projects with the vigor of P.T. Barnum and

working a 12-month shooting schedule two years in a row all while maintaining a personal life with his partner, Lauren Hashian, and 1-year-old daughter, Jasmine. He’s already filming the arcade game pic “Rampage” and will go straight on to “Skyscraper,” a hostage thriller from his “Central Intelligence” director. Suddenly, it’ll be December and time to promote his big Christmas release “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” “What is this ‘break’ thing you speak of,” Johnson said with a chuckle. “But it’s a good time for me. There’s a lot of good things going around.”
