FROM THE EDITOR My birthday’s coming up soon, which means it’s also time for Richmond to celebrate Black & White Days.

The similar dates around the middle of May are all I have in common with one of Cache Valley’s best spring events, of course. Pretty much everything I know about holsteins I learned from “Far Side” cartoons.

But this year is the 100th annivesary of Black & White Days, and so the Western Spring National Hol-

stein Show will be an even bigger deal than normal. In addition, Lewiston-based author Robyn Buttars has a new book out that uses Black & White Days as a backdrop.

“When I decided to write ‘Heart Tied,’ a novel about Jenny, a young woman from a Cache Valley dairy farm, I had no idea it would be available in the same year as two major dairy celebrations,” explained Buttars, adding that the National Dairy Herd Information Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

“But, with the forthcoming centennial celebration of the Western Spring National Holstein Show — also known as

Richmond Black & White Days — it is an exciting time to publish a book featuring a woman who loves showing her holstein dairy cattle and participates in the Richmond Black & White Show.”

Buttars, who also penned the novella “Christmas Rose,” will be in Logan on Saturday to sign copies of “Heart Tied.”

She’ll be at The Book Table from 2 to 4 p.m. along with other local authors Janet Kay Jensen, Carole Thayne Warburton, Jolynne Lyon, Rod Miller and Randy Willie. The Sassafras Folk String Band will be provding entertainment along with cowboy poet Rod Miller.

High school awards set for Saturday Broadway meets Utah on Saturday, May 9, when more than 200 performers from 24 high schools across the state will compete in the fifth annual Utah High School Musical Theater Awards.

The prestigious competition is organized and sponsored by Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre, in cooperation with Broadway Across America Utah.

UFOMT sent 13 judges to 23 Utah high schools over the past six months to judge their musical productions.

Finalists, including ensembles and individuals, will perform in front of the live audience at 7 p.m. at the Kent Concert Hall located in Utah State University’s Fine Arts Center.

“Deciding finalists in each category involved more debating amongst the judges than usual because it’s a very talented group of performers and successful productions across the board this year,” said Kevin Nakatani, UFOMT education business manager.

Tickets are $15 for students ages 5-18 and $20 for adults. They can be purchased in advance by calling the UFOMT box office at 750-0300 ext. 3 or through arttix.org. Best dress or formalwear is encouraged.

Months of preparation culminate on this red-carpet evening hosted by Michael Ballam, founding director of UFOMT. After the per-

formances, awards will be given for best musical, best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress as well as best director, choreographer, ensemble and orchestra. Awards will also be given in technical categories for best set design, costume design, lighting design and technical crew.

“There’s nothing like it in the state,” said Vanessa Ballam, Utah Festival’s education director. She described past ceremonies as “complete euphoria.” She explained the high schools are supportive of each other and that while it’s a competition, it’s more a chance to “celebrate excellence.”

Nakatani agrees. “Hearing the audience erupt in applause for strong performances by other ‘competing’ schools really drives home the sense of commonality, community and unity of the theater arts. It’s truly uplifting.”

Utah Festival will sponsor and send winners in the Best Actor and Actress categories to New York City to participate in the National High School Musical Theater Awards. As a testament to the high caliber of Utah performers, both 2014 winners received national acclaim.

all mixed up Utah photographers featured in Brigham City

“Dry Dock, Antelope Island” by Barry Parsons

Three premier Utah photographers embrace serendipity as well as predictability in the images on view in the Brigham City Museum’s exhibition “Roaming” May 2 through June 24.

In their photos, Robert Hall, Barry Parsons and Michael Slade absorb such spectacles as the Viking Graveyard in Sweden, Bottleneck Peak and Navajo Arch in Utah, Cape Royal in Arizona, Mission Espada in Texas, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and the cloud-spattered skies over St. Kitts in the West Indies. Hall lives in Lehi, while Parsons resides

in Wellsville and Slade lives in Riverton.

The Brigham City Museum is located at 24 N. 300 West. The entrance is on the west side.

Admission is free. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 1 to 5 p.m.

Saturday. For further information, please phone (435) 226-1439 or visit brighamcitymuseum.org.

Hall’s range of output widens continually because of visits since 2005 to Southeast Asia to photograph the urban sprawl in China where traditional Chinese life meets the new economy. He

titled this portfolio “Ghosts of the Elders.” Hall has also traveled to Chennai, India, since 2006 to photograph the city’s buildings that date from the 7th and 8th centuries, ancient temples and rock carvings.

In addition, he has documented the missions in San Antonio, Texas.

For the museum’s exhibit “Roaming,” Hall has submitted images taken in France and the West Indies as well as Arizona, California, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. The artist uses large format cameras to create his photos.

Richmond City and the national dairy industry will celebrate 100 years of Black & White Days this year.

The country’s longest running dairy show, Black & White Days will be held May 12-16 in Richmond.

The show began in 1915 when a group of dairy cow breeders organized an event to celebrate their common interests of dairy farming and dairy cattle. The first exhibition took place on March 17, 1915, on the farm of C.Z. Harris in Richmond. Today, Harris’s great grandson, Craig Harris, still operates the dairy, Harris Dairyland, and he is the show’s chairman.

Governer Gary Herbert will attend the closing dairy class on Friday, May 15, and the Grand Marshal for Saturday’s parade is

His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max (played

by Brack Carmony) believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades Max to get into Tito’s Otello costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Tito.

Max succeeds admirably, but Tito comes to and gets into his other costume ready to perform.

Now two Otellos are running around in costume and two women are running around, each thinking she is with Tito. This madcap, screwball comedy will leave you teary-eyed with laughter.

‘Avengers’ sequel comes up short of U.S. record LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Avengers are mighty, but not enough to beat themselves. The Marvel and Disney sequel earned a staggering $187.7 million in its debut weekend, making it the second biggest U.S. opening of all time according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.

But “Avengers: Age of Ultron” failed to top the all-time record of the first film’s $207.4 million debut in 2012.

Although “Ultron” was the only new film in wide release this weekend, it had some significant small screen

competition: The Kentucky Derby, the NBA playoffs, and the Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao fight.

Numbers could shift by the time Monday actuals roll in, but it seems the robust counter-programming may have blockaded another record for Marvel and Disney.

Still, for Disney’s head of distribution Dave Hollis, the weekend was a “spectacular result” for the film, which cost a reported $250 million to produce.

Playing on 4,276 screens, the audiences for “Ultron’s” debut were 59

Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian agreed that the failure to top the first film is “in no way” a disappointment.

Considering the level of competition this weekend in the sporting world, it shows that movie going holds its own against all other options,” he said.

‘I Am Big Bird’ tells Spinney’s story NEW YORK (AP) — He has lent body and soul to a certain 8-foot-tall 6-year-old for nearly half a century, all the while hidden from sight.

Now Caroll Spinney drops his fine-feathered obscurity (and emerges from his garbage-can fortress as Oscar the Grouch) for an enchanting film portrait, “I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story,” which celebrates this “Sesame Street” puppet master who, at age 81, continues to breathe life into a pair of the world’s best-loved personalities.

The documentary will be available starting Tuesday on iTunes and video-on-demand and arrives in theaters nationally May 15.

“Why now?” says Spinney with a smile. “Well, I’d rather see it come out while I’m alive.”

In a recent joint interview with Debra, his onetime colleague and his wife of nearly 40 years, Spinney, sporting shaggy silver locks, a trim beard and a self-effacing manner, calls the film “kind of flattering, ‘cause I was never cool.

But Big Bird and Oscar are cool to people.”

In this April 10, 2008 file photo, Michelle Hickey, a Muppet wrangler adjusts a book for Big Bird, voiced

by Carroll Spinney, so he can read to Connor Scott during a taping of “Sesame Street” in New York.

The film, produced by producers Dave LaMattina, Chad Walker and Clay Frost, has been in the works for five years. No wonder. It draws on a wealth of material from Sesame Workshop, as well as

the personal archive built over a lifetime by Spinney, an early adopter of 8mm movies and, in the 1970s, the earliest personal video.

“When you saw the carloads of photographs and movies

leaving our house with the filmmakers,” says Debra Spinney, “you knew it would take them forever to look through all that stuff.”

They had a lot to wade through all right — a chron-

icle of a ground-breaking series, a one-of-a-kind artist who helped make it triumphant, and the storybook marriage that kept him inspired.

His childhood wasn’t so idyllic. Growing up in Waltham, Massachusetts, he was a shrimpy kid with big ears, a girl’s name and a love of what the other boys derided as dolls. He had seen a puppet show when he was 5 and was hooked by what seemed a perfect way to express himself.

“Somehow, I was shy enough to not care about being seen,” he explains. “And I figured if I could ever get on a TV show with a character that I enjoyed doing, it might even get famous.

“And,” he sums up with a grin, “voila.”

In between, he spent years in local kids’ TV playing kooky characters and performing with a variety of puppets.

Then he met Jim Henson at a puppetry festival. The Muppets virtuoso was helping put together an innovative children’s show for public television.

Ah, summer! It’s here at last. Well, according to Mother Nature, summer doesn’t start until June 21. Thankfully, Uncle Cinema (he’s real, I promise) takes a more lackadaisical approach to seasonal switches. He’s more interested if $200 million-plus blockbusters are being released weekly. If they are, then it is indeed summer.

“The Avengers: Age of Ultron” officially — according to Uncle Cinema — kicked off the summer movie-going season. Huge budget?

Yes. Big actors? Yes. Superheroes in danger?

Yes. Well, OK then. Case closed. Summer is here.

June 21 is simply a formality tied to an equinox, solstice or whatever.

As has become customary here at The Herald Journal, we’ve trotted out an annual list of the upcoming popcornmunchers that will inevitably extract your hardearned dollars from your wallet. An effort that has taken various forms over the years. This year, we’re going with a straight rundown of the calendar because (imagine me saying this in my best Vin Diesel voice) we live our lives one movie release date at a time.

May 8 Let’s just forget about this week, alright? Something called “Hot Pursuit” opens, and it’s definitely not a sequel to “Need for Speed.”

OUT OF THE SWAMP AND ONTO THE STAGE Cache Theatre Company brings ‘Shrek the Musical’ to the valley for the first time

P

laying the title role in the Cache Theatre Company’s current production of “Shrek the Musical” has come with an unexpected cost for Parker Beus.

The 24-year-old Garland native says he normally prefers to sport some facial hair, but that’s a very bad idea considering the mask and extensive makeup required to transform himself into the green ogre known as Shrek.

“Last year I played Corny Collins in ‘Hairspray,’ so I also had to be clean shaven for that,” Beus laments. “For some reason, every show I do requires it. But I wouldn’t even think of growing something out right now. Otherwise, I’d rip it off every night after the show.”

The irony, of course, is that Beus plays an ogre — a creature certainly not known for good hygiene — but he says that he more than makes up for the lack of facial in other ways.

Based on the 2001 movie entitled “Shrek,” Beus, of course, needs to bulk up a little bit, and that requires the use of a fat suit.

“The most cumbersome part of it is, it can’t come off until the mask does, and the mask takes about half hour to 45 minutes to take off at night,” Beus explains. “So,

I sit around just kind of wallowing around in my own swamp for a little while; I have to ring it out afterwards.

It’s just very warm and very insulated, so the whole smelling like an ogre part is not an exaggeration.”

And then there’s the mask.

Makeup artist Marissa Olson tries to get Beus into the chair more than two hours before the curtain rises, which means he easily spends more than six hours total in green face.

“It’s like Bruce Banner transforming into the Hulk,” points out “Shrek” castmate Brad Baillio. “Only it just takes a lot longer.”

“But it really is a transformation once the mask’s on and the cowl is on,” Beus declares. “I not only look like an ogre, but I feel like one.”

Beus was about 10 years old when the first “Shrek” movie was released starring Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow, and he says, “I thought it was the greatest thing.”

“I was a die-hard “Shrek” and “Shrek 2” video fan,” he says. “I grew up watching all of the time, so I was really surprised that they made a musical out of it, but it’s turned out to be one of my favorite musicals.”

Many of the other cast members say that they loved the “Shrek” movies growing

up, as well. Lauren Bowe, who plays Princess Fiona, says had the “Shrek: Super Party” video game, and that her and her little brother even made up their own “Shrek” board game.

“That’s how much we were into it,” the 24-year-old Bowe says. “I actually even had some of the lines still memorized from the movie.”

The Cache Theatre Company production of “Shrek the Musical” includes more than 60 people on the cast and crew, who started rehearsals back in February for the show’s eight-performance run at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Puppeteer Caroll Spinney voices Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on “Sesame Street.”

He leaves no doubt he has led a joyous life, but like every resident of Sesame Street, he has faced heartbreak.

There was the painful breakup with his first wife, who couldn’t abide his puppet passion.

There was the sight of shuttle Challenger

exploding in 1986, killing everyone aboard, including Christa McAuliffe, a sight particularly upsetting for Spinney since the New Hampshire schoolteacher had been picked as the flight’s civilian passenger — bumping Spinney, NASA’s original choice.

Bird, in a culture that is skewing ever younger?)

Nonetheless, Spinney today remains busy securing the Big Bird legacy while continuing to cope with inevitable headaches.

For instance, he reports that his vintage analog monitor has recently been replaced with an LED screen, which isn’t necessarily an improvement: It’s a little larger and doesn’t fit so well inside his costume.

“We had an awful time getting into the Bird yesterday,” he confides.

Not that Spinney is one to get his feathers ruffled by a job he still clearly adores.

But despite the heights he’s achieved, the film reminds us: It’s not easy being Big Bird.

“Did you get the news?”

Continued from Page 6 Bringing Spinney on board, he handed his new hire a couple of challenging new characters. One was Oscar the Grouch, a paragon of negativity, albeit lovably so, while the other, by chance, was Oscar’s polar opposite: a towering chick-child with a sunny-day disposition and a literally wide-eyed view of the world.

Big Bird was largely in synch with Spinney’s own upbeat sensibility, but that doesn’t mean playing him isn’t grueling. The film uncovers the claustrophobic contortions to which Spinney has subjected himself since “Sesame Street” premiered in 1969.

And, of course, there was the sudden, unthinkable death of Henson in 1990 at age 53. The film shows Spinney, in character as Big Bird, at Henson’s memorial service singing “It Isn’t Easy Being Green,” the signature song of Kermit the Frog, the Muppet with which Henson is most identified. Big Bird concluded with a skyward glance and murmured, “Thank you, Kermit.”

“People asked, ‘How come you didn’t cry?’” says Spinney. “I cried plenty later.”

In the years that followed, life went on for “Sesame Street” and for Big Bird, even as a toddler Muppet named Elmo began to steal Bird’s limelight. (Is no one spared, even Big

Bird

His right hand is raised aloft inside the creature’s 5-pound head to animate its buggy eyes and 18-inch-long beak.

His left arm controls the Bird’s left wing. He furnishes its voice in real time while interacting with other characters he can see only on a tiny monitor strapped to his chest, with strips of his script taped around the screen for him to follow.

The first season, it was even trickier: He had no monitor. He was effectively flying blind.

“And at first, Jim wanted you to walk backwards,” Debra reminds her husband.

“That way,” Spinney laughs, “he thought the legs would bend properly (at the knees), like a real bird’s. I said, ‘Jim, I kind of reject that idea.’”

The photographer believes there are some themes you cannot exhaust, thus he returns time and again to shoot in the City of Rocks in Idaho, as well as Antelope Island and Rozel Bay in Utah. Some of the natural glories Parsons has turned his camera on include Deep Canyon in Utah and Bear Trap Canyon in Montana. All of these images will be in the exhibition.

July 3 “Terminator Genisys” — Things don’t look good.

Granted we’re still a decent ways away from the release date, but the newest “Terminator” movie has been lambasted every time it tries to promote itself. First off, there were those horribly phony-looking production photos shot on an unused airport runway for some reason. Now the movie’s trailer is being picked apart by “Terminator” enthusiasts as they pull out all of the scenes that were presumably lifted from the previous films (which appears to be every single scene in the entire movie).

“Magic Mike XXL” — Many shirtless dudes dancing around in a sequel to that surprisingly decent movie about many shirtless dudes dancing around. It’s not actually directed by Steven Soderbergh (he is, however, the editor and cinematographer) this time

around, so I find myself a little iffier about the potential outcome.

July 10 “Minions” — Perhaps the cutest group of Cheeto-shaped sidekicks to ever appear in movies gets their own sequel.

With subtitles? Hopefully it has subtitles.

July 17 “Ant-Man” — Oh hey there, Disney. Fancy seeing you here again. Here we get another Marvel installment as the Marvel Universe grows even larger (or smaller given

the hero’s abilities) with the introduction of Paul Rudd as Ant-Man. Mired in production entanglements, like famed director Edgar Wright leaving the production citing “artistic differences,” doesn’t bode well.

“Pan” — Because Peter Pan has not, and will never, be adapted too many times.

July 24 “Trainwreck” — More R-rated humor as red-hot Amy Schumer finds herself in the starring role of another twohour Judd Apatow dramadey.

“Pixels” — I don’t know about you, but “Pixels” has so many red flags I hesitated mentioning it. I’ll list them in order of horribleness (worst to still kinda bad): Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Columbus.

August 7 “Fantastic Four” — Disney is the lord and ruler of Marvel, but it doesn’t stop studios like 20th Century Fox from trying to reboot Marvel franchises they’ve already tried before. Perhaps a hip, new cast will breathe new life into rubber dude, rock dude, flame dude and invisible lady.

Or maybe (most likely) not.

August 14 “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” — Yes! Finally a movie from that one obscure television show that you sort of remember watching that one time at your grandma’s when the TV was left on. Or was that “Knight Rider”? Seriously, though, this has potential. A throwback espionage film directed by Guy Ritchie?

Yeah, I’ll give that a chance.

“Masterminds” — Utah’s own Jared Hess has a new movie coming out this summer. He also had a new movie at Sundance, but this movie is not that movie. Got it? This one assembles a bunch of well-known comedic actors, like Hess usually does, who plan a bank heist. Hilarious hijinks ensue.

August 28 “Hitman: Agent 47” — We’ve reached the end. Summer is officially over, as far as Uncle Cinema is concerned.

And in true Hollywood form it sort of just fizzles out. Sure, it’s a sequel to a movie based off a video game, but that’s summer for you. Squeezing every last drop out of established franchises no matter how underperforming they may be.

So, as summer begins and the big-budget movies start flowing into our theater houses, remember that seeing all of them is pretty much mandatory. Uncle Cinema is really serious about this.

Shrek Continued from Page 9 Heaps, it represents the first time that “Shrek the Musical” has been presented in Cache Valley.

“I’m thrilled to help bring this story to life in Cache Valley for the first time,” Heaps says. “The stage production takes all the crazy humor from the movie and transfers it to the stage in a way that will leave audiences delighted.

“It deals with themes of heroism, beauty, rejection, forgiveness, the confines of an idealistic society, and mixes them with plenty of ogre-related humor and countless fairy-tale parodies that have come to make the story so well-loved.”

There is at least one member of the musical cast who does not like the “Shrek” movies, however. That’s Baillio, who plays Shrek’s nemesis, Lord Farquaad.

“I honestly don’t really like ‘Shrek’ the cartoon movie very much,” Baillio admits in true Lord Farquaad fasion. “It’s not like my favorite, but the musical is way more entertaining to me. It was just really fun and energetic and entertaining, and I thought that sounds like it would be a really fun show to do. And I don’t really do shows every often.”

A native of Texas, Baillio literally went

Where Bowe really makes out, though, is with her transformation into ogre.
