FROM THE EDITOR It’s that time of year when hundreds of Utah high school students are just as focused on the playoffs of various spring sports as they are the end of the school year. Thanks to Michael Ballam and the Utah Festival Opera & Music Theatre, high school theater students throughout the state also have a similar event to cap off their year. The fourth annual Utah High School Musical Theater Awards will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 10, at the Kent
Concert Hall on the campus of Utah State University. Sponsored by the UFOMT, tickets for the awards show are $15 to $20 (call 752-0300 or visit www.arttix.org to purchase tickets in advance). Over the past six months, performances from 32 schools from around the state were juried with many of the finalists — about 250 of them — scheduled to perform on Saturday. Finalists from local high schools this year include: Best Musical (“Titanic,” Logan); Best Actor (Dane Braddy, Logan and Trent Thomas, Sky View); Best Supporting Actor (Cameron Conrad, Sky View); Best Supporting Actress (Allison Lee, Logan and Kenzie Davis, Sky View);
Best Cameo (Thomas Guest, Logan); Best Director (“Seussical,” Sky View); Best Costume Design (“Seussical,” Sky View) and Best Orchestra (“Titanic,” Logan). Thanks to the generosity of the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre, the two students honored with the Best Actor and Best Actress awards be able to attend the National High School Musical Theater Awards in New York City in June. Who knows? Perhaps if you attend Saturday to see “the best of the best” in Utah prep theater, you might just see a future movie or Broadway star when he or she was a mere high schooler. — Jeff Hunter

all mixed up Logan Fine Art hosts new exhibit Logan Fine Art Gallery will be hosting the artwork of Simon Winegar and Linda Marion during the month of May beginning with a reception for the public from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight. The exhibit will run through May 31. Creating moods that are often romantic and thought provoking, Winegar’s tonalist landscapes are meant to provide collectors with a view of the world that runs counter to some of the more negative versions of it that are found in today’s culture. “Sometimes it seems like we live in an ugly, unforgiving world”, Winegar told American Art Collector in 2008. “So, the point is to attempt to beautify the world. I want to create a mood that moves the viewer.” After entering the market in 2000, Winegar’s work became instantly respected and honored. He has been featured in many magazines, books and art venues that have shown his work in a light of professionalism and quality. His work shows in Simon Winegar and Linda Marion will be featured during the month of May at Logan Fine Art. some of the most respected galstudied with professors Alvin the walls of the Springville temporary Masters of Fine Art. leries in the United States and Marion received her training Gittens, Doug Snow, Ed has been seen in almost a dozen Art Museum, The Museum of in drawing and painting at the Church History and Art and the one-man shows to date.

The 20 ringers range from high school to retirement age, represent a number of local churches and wards, originally hail from all over the country and have anywhere from a few months to a few decades of ringing experience. Thanks to the generous support of many in the community, the choirs have added a fifth octave of English handbells and a fifth octave of chimes since their appearance in the tabernacle in
December. The full range of bells and chimes will be used. The bell choirs rehearse from August through May during which time they typically give a several performances at churches, retirement apartment complexes, nursing homes and other venues. They have participated in the American Festival Chorus’ Christmas concerts for several years. One of their most enjoyable activities has been their annual trip to the Utah State campus to flash mob various classes at the end of the fall semester.

‘Spider-Man 2’ ropes in $92 million opening NEW YORK (AP) — Spider-Man can still sling it at the box office. “The Amazing SpiderMan 2” debuted with $92 million in North American theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. It was a solid opening for Sony’s Columbia Pictures, which has released five movies about Marvel’s web-slinging superhero in the last 14 years. The release of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” essentially kicks off Hollywood’s summer season and its annual parade of sequels and spectacle. Marvel movies have regularly commenced summer moviegoing in recent years, and the “Spider-Man 2” opening begins the season with a businessas-usual blockbuster performance. Last week’s No. 1 film, the female revenge comedy “The Other Woman,” starring Cameron Diaz, slid to a distant second with $14 million in its second weekend. The rebooted “Spider-Man” franchise starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone isn’t performing quite as strongly as Sam Raimi’s trilogy with Tobey Maguire. On opening weekends, the Raimi films grossed, in order: $114.1 million, $88.2 million and $151.1 million. The “The Amazing Spider-Man,” also directed by Marc Webb, opened on a Tuesday in 2012, making $62 million on its debut weekend and $137 million

But its proximity to the local college is its downfall. Not too long after Mac and Kelly move in, the house next door is sold to a fraternity. Teddy (Zac Efron) is the buff fraternity leader.
He’s all smiles and abs. Mac is instantly drawn to the coolness Teddy exudes. So much so that at first he’s willing to forgive how loud they’re being simply because fitting in with the cooler, younger crowd seems so enticing. But it isn’t

Where “Neighbors” excels is when it’s simply jumping from one shenanigan to the next. Teddy and Mac trade blows as each one tries to one-up the other. Schemes are formulated. Plans are hatched.

When done right, as “Neighbors” is, the gross-out R-rated comedy is immensely satisfying. Actor Seth Rogen has been at the center of quite a few of these movies over the past few years. He’s a master of comedic improv and spinning crude humor into a tapestry of flowery profanity that makes you laugh as much as you cringe. Here he teams up with fellow funnyman director Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”), who understands the pacing of a raunchy comedy, and how to get the most of his actor’s innate abilities to improvise. I don’t want to read too much into “Neighbors” because it’s mostly surface hijinks which simply happen to be very clever. Though, there is this undercurrent running through it that those who’ve moved onto different stages in life — like getting married, having kids — are always looking over the proverbial fence at the partying youngsters, wondering

Rogen battles buff Efron in ‘Neighbors’
the ROMPSTOMPERS Death Ray Comics was packed last Saturday night for Free Comic Book Day, but it wasn’t comics that were drawing a crowd this time — it was The Rompstompers. The local band played with enthusiasm and force and those in attendance responded in kind, rocking out and dancing throughout the comic shop. Let’s get together The band was formed in 2011 by Gavin Mikesell, who is the vocalist and guitarist, and his cousin Josh Mikesell, who plays drums. “We both wanted to do something that was more goofy and mess around, so we started the Rompstompers. We wanted to be punk and heavy,” says Gavin. “Like the Pixies,” Josh chimes in. “We wanted to not care. We just wanted to do something.” “Exactly,” Gavin says agreeably. “We just wanted to play music that we didn’t have to care about.” After playing together for some time, they eventually brought in Colton Anderson, a friend of Gavin’s, to play bass. While The Rompstompers have been heavily punk-infused, Gavin says he has considered letting their sound evolve, but wants to take it “album by album.” “What we’re doing is really fun and I enjoy it,” he says, “but I don’t think that we could write it forever. We’ll have to evolve someday.” Working on it The process of coming up with a song falls on Gavin, who does most of the initial work writing up lyrics and music. “Pretty much anything that I (discover) goofing around on the guitar and sounds cool becomes a Rompstompers song,” he says. “Lyrics are pretty quick. I have an idea in mind and I jot them down.” After Gavin gets a song down, he brings it to Colton and Josh who add in their parts and the group refines the whole song together. Colton jokes that, in the name The

the chance to interact with their fan base. “They’re very consistent,” Gavin says. “They come to our shows all the time even though they’ve heard it plenty of times. They still enjoy it.” Colton agrees, saying “they’re a lot more active than other bands I’ve been in. They participate a lot more.” Indeed, the Saturday show, which was put together at the last minute, was a testament to the loyalty and enthusiasm of their fervent and growing following. Charity work Along with playing for fun and fans, The Rompstompers also use their talent for charity work. The band recently played at a CAPSA benefit show at the Whittier Center along with other local and regional music groups that helped raise $950 for the organization. “We do a lot of charity work,” Adam says. “We love to play shows anyway (and) it brings awareness to things that need to be brought up. (A benefit show) is an opportunity to play a great show and spread awareness at the same time.” Upcoming album and tour Along with their regular local and regional performances, the band is also gearing up for their first out-ofstate tour. “First out-of-state show (too),” Gavin notes. The tour will take them from Utah to Vegas, down to Arizona, then up through California. But before they do that, the band is planning to drop their first full-length album. With 11 tracks total, they are currently in the process of writing and recording the last song. “Watch out for our album,” Gavin says. ——— To follow The Rompstompers, like them on Facebook at facebook.com/ therompstompers.

McMurtry reimagines OK Corral gunfight By Ann Levin Associated Press
Larry McMurtry, descendant of Texas cattlemen, can’t stop writing stories about the American West. His latest novel, “The Last Kind Words Saloon,” reimagines the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, an event he brought to life more vividly in his 2006 novel, “Telegraph Days.” In this version, itinerant lawman Wyatt Earp and his pal Doc Holliday, the dentist turned gambler/ gunslinger, are in the frontier town of Long Grass, Texas, where Wyatt’s wife, Jessie, tends bar at the Last Kind Words Saloon. A big cattle deal is
going down between an English baron and Charles Goodnight, a real-life Texas Panhandle cattleman whom McMurtry has written about before. Historical figures like Buffalo Bill Cody and the Kiowa warriors Satank and Satanta drift in and out of the action, as do fictional characters
from McMurtry’s earlier works, including Nellie Courtright, the lusty frontier journalist/narrator of “Telegraph Days.” Inevitably, Wyatt and Doc make their way to Tombstone, Arizona, where Wyatt reunites with his lawmen brothers Virgil and Morgan and begins feuding with the Clanton gang. The climactic events of Oct. 26, 1881, unfold in a few sentences, ending on an odd note of marital discord between Jessie and Wyatt. McMurtry clearly isn’t interested in burnishing the Wyatt Earp legend — he’s portrayed as a surly, shiftless wife beater — but he doesn’t offer much of a counter history either. The novel — he calls it “a ballad in prose whose characters are

Years after the gunfight, she discovers that Wyatt and Jessie are living in a dilapidated bungalow in San Pedro, California. Wyatt is “rheumy-eyed” and doesn’t remember much about the shootout.

“A New Life”

By William Humphrey
I’m going to start a new life, Full of hope and free from strife. The future’s bright with good news in store, I’m going to knock on that golden door.
When I see you, I am so surprised, And quick grabbing a pen to write. About the poem just popped up in my mind, It is like the whole spring in your eyes. And the flowers blossom in your smile, Your face is bright like the sun in the sky. All that creates a beautiful picture so nice, I love of the image of your fair sight.
Tomorrow is a great new day, I’ll have a job, I’ll have good pay. The future’s rosy, so I’ll say, Tomorrow I’ll be on my way. I’ll buy a new home, And find a good wife. All will be well, We’ll have a great life. As days come and go, Troubles will flee. Life will be swell, For my wife and me.

He gave his years of service, So far away from home. And did his duty with a smile, But never with a groan. When they write the history, Of so many years ago. About this U.S. sailor, The story we will know.
“The Circus” By Judy Talbot One day the circus will come, So entertaining and so much fun. We watched strong men unloaded the rig, To let the tiger free, and even a pig.
Big-nosed clowns were very funny, The sky was blue, the weather was sunny. Hot dogs and popcorn were being sold, Some fans stood up, they were bold.
Elephants and lions will be seen, Not appearing to be mean. From the grandstand where we sat, There came a lady way too fat.
The jugglers threw the balls just right, So amazing, what a sight. It’s all over way too fast, The day is gone, all in the past.

She graduated with a BFA in 1967, followed by a one-year stint as a VISTA Volunteer working in the northern Appalachian.

Later, Marion returned to school at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Sudies in Bologna, Italy, where she gained an extensive list of awards and accolades.

The Bird and The Bear will be joined by special guests Colby Bair and the Dangerous Mood and Tyson Oswald for an intimate show at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 14, at Why Sound, 30 Federal Ave. Admission is $5. When The Bird and The Bear perform together, people can’t help but take notice. The husband/ wife duo treat every note as an intimate moment; not just between the two of them but with their audience. Based in Nashville, the duo hail from two different sides of the globe. Mirthe Bolhuis — originally from The Netherlands — traveled to Music City for years, soaking up as much of the vibrant music scene as she could; while Garry Wood moved to Nashville from Wyoming in 2010 to pursue a career as a songwriter. Fatefully, they met one day in the summer of 2011, forming an almost immediate connection and sparking a relationship. In 2013 they wed, cementing their roles as partners in music and life. Often compared to artists such as The Civil Wars, The Lone Bellow and Shovels and Rope, the couple also draws comparisons to classic duos like Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, as well as Stevie
