FROM THE EDITOR I’ve climbed some pretty big mountains in my life, and the funny thing is, a lot of times the view from below is actually better than the view from the top because you can see the mountain itself. That’s one reason why when I was in Alaska years ago covering the Aggie basketball team at a preseason tournament, I determined it was worth the effort to rent a car and try to drive down to the entrance of Denali National Park ... in late November. To be
honest, I didn’t know at the time that having the weather clear enough to see Mount McKinley/Denali from just about anywhere is extremely rare that time of year, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have spent more than three hours driving 120 miles on solid ice in a futile effort to take a photo of the tallest mountain in North America. But it’s my love of mountains that makes it easy for me to understand the major effort that eight trekkers from Utah — six of them from Cache Valley — recently made to get to base camp at Mount Everest in Nepal. One of those trekkers — Logan native Jeremi Broadhurst — shares some of her amazing photos from that journey in this issue
of Cache Magazine, documenting the groups’s trip from Utah to Kathmandu, a rather short jaunt to the airport at Lukla, a 40-mile hike up the Himalayas to Everest’s south base camp at 17,598 feet and then a helicopter ride back to Kathmandu. It was quite a trek, and I have to admit to being a bit jealous. And had I been with them, I’m sure I would have experienced a little bit more jealousy as I saw climbers heading up Everest, getting acclimated for a summit push. But in the end, I’m sure just seeing the tallest mountain in the world would be more than enough. — Jeff Hunter
Gallery to host Mormon Artists exhibit More than 50 highly acclaimed LDS artists are gathering together to bring an exhibit like none other to the people of Cache Valley and the surrounding area. The Inaugural Exhibition of the Society of Mormon Artists will be presented from May 12 to Aug. 31 at the Logan Fine Gallery. Artists far and wide have rallied to the call of Dr. Vern G. Swanson, retired director of the Springville Museum of Art, and Cynthia K. Dye, LDS art specialist, who founded the Society of Mormon Artists on April 6. Rarely has there been a more concentrated group of distinguished LDS artists in one place than there will be at the Inaugural Exhibition for the newly formed organization. “Logan is the perfect place for our first show,” says Dye, who grew up in nearby Providence. “There is nowhere that surpasses the beauty and pastoral scene of Cache Valley, Utah. Driving through Sardine Canyon is a breath-taking experience, especially as the canyon opens up to the valley below with the Logan Temple in the distance. “Our artists are enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring their art to areas outside the metropolitan Salt Lake area where these kinds of exhibits are usually featured. Instead of having to make a trip to the Church History Museum or the BYU Art Museum to view a religious art show, the Society of Mormon Artists is

bringing the art to the front door of Logan residents. Of special interest will be the Sacred Art Room, with more than a dozen original
paintings and sculptures by such established artists as Robert Barrett, Joseph Brickey, Linda Curley Christensen, Michael Aaron Hall, Ben
Hammond, Jeff Hein, Glen Hopkinson, Gary Kapp, Del Parson, Clark Kelley Price, Walter Rane, J. Kirk Richards, Julie Rogers, Gary Smith, LeRoy Transfield, Kraig Varner and William Whitaker. Local residents will be pleased to see the works of Joshua Clare, Barbara and Glen Edwards, Michael Malm, Larry Winborg and Kent Wallis. Included in the exhibition is a 10-foot masterpiece by Adam Abram, titled “The Ascension of Christ.” There are not many galleries that could even house something of
that size, however, the Logan Fine Art Gallery, renovated from a former movie theater, has the right wall space to accommodate the painting. Other works in the room will focus on the birth, teachings and life of Jesus Christ, with poignant depictions of the Garden of Gethsemane, the cross of Calvary, and the resurrected Savior. A variety of styles and themes will be shown in the main gallery. Surely, “Bear Lake Raspberries,” a whimsical painting by Dennis Smith will remind many of trips to the lake. And no one will want to miss “Porter Rockwell” by A.D. Shaw, or the large iconic piece “Dr. Pierce’s Barn” by Larry Winborg. Most of the artwork will be available for purchase. The opening gala reception for artists and the public will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 12, at the Logan Fine Art Gallery at 60 W. 100 North. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, visit societyofmormonartists.org.

all mixed up Night Ranger coming to Logan 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.
Slants to play Why Sound Portland-based group performs Saturday night The Slants, a band out of Portland, Oregon, will perform on Saturday, May 6, at Why Sound. Detour will open the show, which will begin at 7 p.m. at 30 Federal Ave. Admission is $7. The Slants — consisting of vocalist Ken Shima, guitarist Joe X. Jiang, drummer Yuya Matsuda and founder/bassist Simon Tam (whose stage name is Simon Young) — are an all-Asian-American rock band, who formally applied for a trademark in 2010, but a trademark examiner rejected the application, stating that “The Slants” was a disparaging term On January 18, 2017 The Slants went before the Supreme Court of the United States in regards to Lee v. Tam, the band’s case fighting to trademark their name. On that same day, the band released a music video for the first single

UFOMT tickets available now Single tickets for Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre’s silver anniversary season are on sale now. Thanks to increased popularity and by using the newly restored Utah Theatre, the Festival’s season has been extended additional weeks and will run from June 23-Aug. 9. “This season is a celebration of iconic genius,” said Michael Ballam, founding general director. “All the works are the supreme offerings in each form of storytelling through music.” The Festival kicks off its 25th season with “Seussical,” a musical featuring favorite Whoville characters including the Cat in the Hat and Horton the Elephant, June 23-Aug. 7, at the Utah Theatre. Productions at the Ellen Eccles Theatre include “Rex” (July 6-Aug. 7); “Madame Butterfly” (July 7-Aug. 8); “The Music Man” (July 7-Aug. 9); “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (July 8-Aug. 8); and “The Pirates of Penzance” (July 8-Aug. 9).

eral volunteers. Members of the Summerfest board of directors work as volunteers, each taking an area of responsibility such as food, hospitality, music, plein air contest, coordination of volunteers and more. “We are very grateful for all the folks who volunteer their help for Summerfest,” says Summerfest executive director Elaine Thatcher. “We couldn’t
do it without them.” Summerfest has several projects that can help Boy Scouts earn their Eagle rank. The projects require scouts to organize their own teams of volunteers and to take charge of specific areas of festival operation. These can include helping with setup or teardown, assisting artists, keeping the grounds clean and so forth.
Other volunteer opportunities exist for individuals and organizations. “We always need booth sitters who can be available to sit in artists’ booths for a few minutes so the artists can take a break,” Thatcher says. “And a couple of years ago, we had someone work off some community service hours with us. He was extremely helpful, because he knew how to fix
electrical and other situations.” Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Thatcher at 213-3858 or elaine@logansummerfest.com. The 2017 Summerfest Arts Faire will take place June 15-17 and feature 138 visual artists, 38 performing groups and 20 food vendors on Tabernacle Square in downtown Logan.

Now in its 34th year, the annual Summerfest Arts Faire depends heavily on volunteers. Each year, more than 300 people help make the festival happen. This year, Summerfest is searching for volunteers in several categories: Eagle Scout and youth projects; business and organizations who will take on a particular aspect of the festival; and gen-

EVEREST VIEWS GROUP OF UTAHNS COMPLETE TREK TO SOUTH BASE CAMP
In early April, six Utahns embarked on a journey that would take them from the Beehive State to base camp on the southern side of Mount Everest in Nepal and back to Utah in the span of just 10 days. The group included current Cache Valley residents Doug Kohler, Jeremi Broadhurst, Kori Broadhurst, Max Barfuss and Ben Banham, along with Cache Valley native Victor Baugh and Utah residents Ed Misch and Keith Duchek. Jeremi Broadhurst, a physical education teacher at Thomas Edison South Charter School in Nibley, shares some of her photographs and thoughts from the journey to the base of the world’s tallest mountain. Our group was so excited to begin our trek to Everest base camp in Nepal. We were expecting that we would have to take a hopper plane from Kathmandu to Lukla and the Tenzing-Hillary Airport. This airport is dubbed the most dangerous airport in the world due to the extremely short landing area. Our guide informed us that we would be going by helicopter instead of plane. I was quite relieved, but some of the members of my group were a little bit sad about not getting the hopper plane adventure they had thought they would get. The helicopter ride from Kathmandu to Lukla was beautiful. The Himalayas are magnificent. I kept asking the pilot “Is that Everest?”, but he told me that we would not be able to see it from where we were. Once safely on the ground we exited the helicopter. Another helicopter was coming in for a landing so the safety crew asked us to move out of the way. As we scurried up a small hill, the gust from

the incoming helicopter knocked us down to our knees. We had a great laugh and could not wait for more excitement on our adventure. We immediately started spinning the prayer wheels and walking to the left of Mani stones that were there in Lukla. The excitement of the many prayer wheels and Mani stones/walls never wore off for me over the course of the eight-day trek. We took a day to acclimate at Namche Bazar. The morning of our acclimating day, we took a hike up to higher elevation to get our first view of Mount Everest. The first place we went to had a statue of Tenzing Norgay, the first Sherpa to summit Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. Here we got our first peek at Mount Everest. I was so excited. This was
the reason I was here, to see Mount Everest and make it to base camp. We also had an amazing view of Ama Dablam. I fell in love with Ama Dablam, she was breathtaking and we would be rewarded with epic views of her for the next couple of days. The views while in the Himalayas were extraordinary in any direction we looked. The day we hiked to Everest base camp was the first day that my legs began to feel tired. We had a lot of rocky terrain and a long day. It felt amazing for our entire group to all make it to base camp. Some of our group were suffering from altitude sickness. They had to show some mental and physical strength to get there. It was a celebration when we all
made it. We took many pictures by the prayer flags. We signed the rocks and congratulated each other. It felt so good to accomplish what we set out to do. We still had one more hike to endure. All but three of our group were able to complete this hike. I went in a group of three, plus our head porter for a sunrise hike up Kala Pathar. This was definitely the hardest part of the trek for me. We left around 5:15 a.m. It was bitter cold and windy. The first day we actually used all that cold weather gear we packed. My water line froze in my hydration pack, and I had left my water bottle behind so I ended up doing this hike up with no water. It was just over a mile with over 20 percent grade. I fell into my pace and did not stop until I felt the sun hit my back. I turned and saw the sun peeking over Mount Everest. It was breathtaking! I took a few pictures and continued on my way. It was steep and it seemed to go on forever. The last stretch was over big boulders. The air was thin. I finally reached the peak of Kala Pathar, and I felt so happy. Once again, I celebrated with my group and took pictures. My altimeter read 18,520 feet — more than 1,000 feet higher than base camp. I felt GOOD. My body did not let me down. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I knew that this adventure had changed me. I felt so lucky that I was able to come to Nepal and have this experience. The Himalayas felt magical to me. I will never forget my time there. Sir Edmund Hillary said it best, “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”

None of the action sequences seem all that inventive, but what it lacks in spontaneous creativity it makes up for in humor. Gunn has a lot of balls to juggle here. He’s got to provide deeper characters, expand their origins, run through a plot and bring them closer together all in preparation for teaming up with the Avengers at some point to fight Thanos. He juggles everything quite admirably and makes you forget, for a moment, that “Vol. 2” is yet another placeholder in the line leading up to “Infinity War.” And as far as Marvel movies go, if you can make one of them feel like it isn’t part of the larger whole, even when it is, that’s a success.

Following on the heels of Marvel’s super-serious superhero installment, “Captain America: Civil War,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” offers up jokes and loud laughter to help balance out the sad moments. For the most part, it works. The entire opening credit sequence features the impossibly adorable Baby Groot dancing without a care in the universe, as his team fights a horrific space monster in the background, perfectly setting up a lighthearted tone. So, it’s quite surprising when the movie throws you a curveball halfway through and begins plunging into the somber backstories of our seemingly happy guardians. “Vol. 2” exists as an effort to shed more light on these characters and open them up for introspection. The first movie introduced us to them, and we found ourselves saying, “Hey that raccoon is sassy.” Now the raccoon is still sassy, but he’s also got a heart, and feelings, attachments, anxieties and

Just as school bells have evolved over time from a brass bell rung by hand to a computerized tone from a speaker system, education from pioneer days to the present has progressed dramatically. A historical exhibition featuring photographs and artifacts titled “From A to Z – Schools in Box Elder County, Past and Present” will be on show at the Brigham City Museum April 1 through June 10. The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City. Admission is free. Hours are Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. For further information, please call (435) 226-1439 or brighamcitymuseum.org. In March 1851, William Davis, his family and a few friends settled in Shoshone Indian country near Box Elder
Creek. Parents were the first educators in the area, and the Bible was their textbook. Two years later, Henry Evans, who was the first school teacher in Box Elder, walked from house to house teaching children their ABCs. In 1853, a log cabin schoolhouse was built next to the Box Elder Fort at 300 North and 200 West. Parents paid their children’s tuition directly to the teacher in cash or produce from their farms. A pioneer named Nels Madsen wrote, “(The teacher) received cash or carrots.” In 1861, religious leader Brigham Young asked William Watkins to teach all ages in the courthouse. Young divided Box Elder, later named Brigham City, into four wards See EXHIBIT on Page 11
