FROM THE EDITOR It’s not even here yet, but I’m already lamenting the fact that the summer is just going to fly by.

As much as we look forward to warm days, long days, snowfree trails and outdoor events in this part of the world, it’s hard not to just want things to magically slow down until some time in September.

However, there is at least one exception to that desire for me this summer — I really can’t wait for the arrival of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah on Aug. 3.

This year will mark the first time the state’s most prestigous cycling race will

pass through Cache Valley. That Monday morning, professional riders will open the week long race with an epic, 132-mile-long stage that will begin and end in Logan. But in between, some of the world’s top cyclists will ride up Logan Canyon, drop down into Garden City, then circumnavigate Bear Lake. I assume they’ll stop off just long enough to get a raspberry shake before climbing back up to Bear Lake Summit, flying down Logan Canyon and then taking a final spin around the valley.

While the men rides are gone, there will also be a women’s criterium within the city limits, which means, it won’t exactly be business as normal in Logan on Aug. 3.

That means there will be plenty of opportunities to help out during the race, and the Tour of Utah recently sent out a

press release hoping to find some volunteer support.

“Each volunteer receives a green, commemorative Tour of Utah T-shirt, and a drawstring cinch sack filled with additional Tour of Utah merchandise: adjustable hat, water bottle, souvenir sunglasses, key chain and sun screen. Each day volunteers will also be provided a box lunch, courtesy of Subway, and Dasani water.”

Sounds like a decent reward when added to being able to see at least a portion of both the men’s and women’s races.

If I wasn’t going to be involved with covering the Tour of Utah, I would certainly do it myself. But if you’re interested, the volunteer application is available online at tourofutah.com/experience/volunteer.

Christiansen to perform Thursday at Why Sound The definition of syncopation is: “the art of finding rhythm in unexpected places.”

Those who study jazz music will know that syncopation is 99 percent hard, technique-based work, and 1 percent pure, creative, open-ended artistry. Yet, that 1 percent of offbeat interest can define an entire song, style or artist.

Drummer Kobie Watkins, a featured performer in the next installment of Corey Christiansen’s Why Sound jazz series, is one such artist.

Watkins will sit in as a special guest with the Corey Christiansen Trio at 7:30 and 9 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at Why Sound, 30 Federal Ave. Synergetic bassist Aaron Miller will also perform during the devening. Tickets are $15 at the door.

This combination of highly stylized musicianship promises to provide a most artful and fascinating night of jazz music that listeners of all ages and interests will deeply appreciate.

Watkins’ style ranges through sultry, sensuous rhythms and acidic, experimental jazz, but underpinning the obvious variations in speed and form, a subtle, holistic, and totally original style

slowly becomes apparent.

Watkins approaches his art masterfully: rolling through wide fills in varied time signatures that somehow always flow back into a

song at the most unexpected and delightful moments.

This engaging and playful expression of percussion keeps the listener engaged, always wondering where this master of rhythm’s next trick will appear.

This talented, disciplined musician is deeply committed to teaching and helping others cultivate their own style through education, but is also a bit of a wanderer.

Having obtained a master’s degree in music in jazz pedagogy (i.e., jazz education) from Northwestern University in 2003, Watkins has subsequently toured extensively through the United

States and abroad, including Africa, Europe, Asia, Canada and South America.

Christiansen is a professor of guitar studies at Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts. The son of legendary local guitarist and instructor Mike Christiansen, Corey Christiansen received a bachelor’s degree at USU, then worked with renowned jazz guitar educator Jack Petersen while obtaining his master’s in jazz performance at the University of South Florida.

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

‘Paiute’ exhibit open at USU Traveling show open at library until May 29 University Libraries at Utah State University hosts the traveling exhibition “Southern Paiute: A Portrait.”

The limited-run exhibit is a part of the Utah Arts and Museums’ Travelling Exhibition Program.

It can be seen at MerrillCazier Library in the atrium gallery now through May 29.

In 2000, Michael Plyler and Logan Hebner began to photograph and interview Southern Paiute elders from throughout their homelands in the Great Basin, Colorado Plateau and Mojave Desert.

And now, this exhibition celebrates the lives of 13 of the elders. Their book, “Southern Paiute: A Portrait,” features more than 30 interviews and portraits, representing every tribe and band from throughout the See USU on Page 12

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 ready to celebrate B&W Days 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 See DAYS on Page 11

a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.

Each year, Utah State University sponsors a Common Literature Experience to bring students, faculty, staff and Cache Valley community members together in reading a common book. Approximately 2,500 new students taking the University Connections course read the book during the summer and complete a

reflective assignment prior to the beginning of the class.

They also attend the literature convocation, held the Saturday before university classes begin.

This year’s literature committee, composed of students, faculty, staff and members of the community, reviewed many excellent nominations and selected “The Emerald Mile,” a gripping account of

the fastest boat ride ever to take place down the Colorado River.

Called remarkable and informative, the book details the harrowing events of the winter of 1983 when a small three-man dory was propelled, at suicidal speeds, down the river by an unusually massive amount of headwater runoff which nearly ruptured the Glen Canyon Dam.

Gallery to host opening

Logan Fine Art shares work by Jones and Green Logan Fine Art Gallery will present two very special artists May 29 through July 31.

The artwork of Barbara Ivie Green and Mallory Jones will on display beginning with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 29, at 60 W. 100 North.

Green will also be teaching during a two-day workshop May 29-30. This workshop will include information on how to achieve a variety of effects, such as how to create the illusion of fur and landscape technique for foliage. Green will also cover composition, perspective, under painting and glazing.

“These are my trade secrets and will give an artist an edge in the art world,” Green says.

Call Logan Fine Art at 7530333 to sign up. The workshop costs $500 dollars for two days of instruction.

Green has shown in the prestigious Greenwich Workshop Gallery of Connecticut, and she has won many Best of Show awards while authoring two books: “Treasures of Egypt” and “The Ghost Pirate’s Treasure.”

“I paint using reference photos, however, I am not necessarily trying to render the image exactly as it appears, but more to expressing life as realistically as I can see it,”

In line with USU’s celebration of the Year of Water, the title highlights engaging issues that explore themes of conservation, culture, politics, Western heritage and heroism.

“The Emerald Mile” is available at the USU Campus Store in the Taggart Student Center.

Jones, another very gifted artist, will also exhibit her breathtaking photography at Logan Fine Art Gallery.

Jones has a sensitivity that allows her to capture ethereal moments in nature such as is demonstrated in her photograph of a trumpeter swan entitled “Morning Stretch.”

“The versatility of photography is a major draw for me — rang-

ing from breathtaking vistas to the incredible details of a single petal or butterfly’s wing,” Jones says. “I hope to share the beauty of all that I see whether formed by nature or human design.

Jones is also willing to give what it takes to capture the perfect moment, including wading out in the middle of a cold stream with all her equipment in hand and See HOST on Page 12

‘Avengers’ sequel tops list, crushes ‘Hot Pursuit’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — The “Age of Ultron” is not over. The Avengers sequel topped the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row with an estimated $77.2 million according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.

The film has earned a staggering $312.9 million in just 10 days in theaters, tying with “The Dark Knight” to become the secondfastest film to do so.

While a wild success by any measure,

the film is still lagging behind the record-setting precedent of 2012’s “The Avengers,” which made $103.1 million in its second weekend in theatres and had a domestic total of $373 million at the same point in the cycle.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” also added $68.3 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $875.3 million.

NEW YORK (AP) — With less than two hours before dress rehearsal for the Mother’s Day edition of “Saturday Night Live,” the mood seemed relaxed. Studio 8H at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where guest host Reese Witherspoon would soon preside, was almost deserted. And Lorne Michaels, “SNL” creator and executive producer, exuded mellowness as he welcomed a reporter to his office just past 6 p.m. to chat about the 40th season (which concludes Saturday at 10:30 p.m. MDT, with Louis C.K. hosting) as well as late-night TV in general and what lies ahead.

Here’s an edited version of that conversation: AP: Things appear remarkably calm around here!

There were so many moving parts, and all the emotion. When it turned out as well as it did, I think we were all stunned. Then I, for one, was very happy to get back to doing the normal shows.

AP: But the season finale won’t be exactly normal, will it?

Michaels: It’s always complicated, because you have a feeling of, ‘I’d like to go into the summer with a great memory of that show,’ so you feel a different kind of pressure. The way you get through the season is: There’s always next week. And then, with the finale, there’s three

“It was a formula for whatever reason didn’t resonate with the critics, and I think that had an impact on its box office,” Dergarabedian said.

since in reality he only has about 15 lines of complete dialogue. He has no choice but to participate in the deadly action.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

The kinetic, manic energy of George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” is undeniably sensational. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. A perfect parenthetical insert in the cinematic history books.

As we find ourselves mired in the age of computer-generated emptiness, “Fury Road” crashes the party in the most wonderful of ways.

It’s a two-hour reminder of what it’s like to witness real cars crashing, cruising and exploding. You know how you felt when you saw CGI used in “Jurassic Park” for the first time? Well, that’s what this feels like, but with practical effects. They feel new again.

As this opera of sand, fire and violence plays out, you soon realize that Miller’s screenplay is all show and don’t tell. We’re thrust directly into the midst of a strung out, desperate civilization that has given itself over to extreme zealotry.

There’s really no exposition needed.

Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) is a large, ugly man who rules over a mass of starving, thirsty people. He owns the water, so he owns them. The key here is that Miller paints a perfect picture of the desolation and confused religious idolatries of the population with only a few scenes. It’s masterful execution of storytelling.

Max (Tom Hardy) gets caught up in the action after he’s captured and used as a secondary blood source by Nux (Nicholas Hoult), one of Immortan Joe’s “warboys.” Imperator

‘2015: a ROCK ODYESS T

PHOTOS

BY JOHN ZSIRAY Ryan Newman of Mendon checks out the rocks he collected from a pan full of sawdust at the Cache Rock and Gem Club show. An amethyst crystal from Uruguay.

he Cache Rock and Gem Club rocked the house, so to speak, last at this year’s 2015: A Rock Odyssey rock and gem show at Bridgerland Applied Technology College.

“We’re not one of the biggest gem shows, but we’re the best,” club president Gary Warren said with a laugh.

The hall where the show was held May 7-9 is large and loud, and during the show it was crowded with tables and vendors showing their finds and their wares, some of which can be found locally, while others were from as far away as Mexico.

“We’ve got people with selenite crystals out of Mexico, we’ve got stuff that’s just found around Utah and that, we’ve got septarian nodules, we have different minerals,” Warren said. “Basically from Utah, that’s in Utah, but they do come out of state, too.

We do have stuff that’s coming out of Wyoming and Colorado and Washington.”

The Cache Rock and Gem Club, which has about 35 active members, goes rock hounding every month. Sometimes this involves just scouring local hillsides in a day trip, while other times it means a trip to a place like Moab. They meet the third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Logan Library and set up a rock trip for the next Saturday.

The club is very family oriented, and friendly, too. Some members have backgrounds in geology, while others just picked it up as a hobby and learned along the way.

Richmond resident Bob Stewart, who was running a table for his business, Mexican Rose Agates, said he and his wife started seriously rockhounding at his wife’s family ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico.

“At the very first, the rocks we were collecting were desert roses, the calcite roses,” Stewart said. “And, the ranch ground is just covered with them, and (my wife) grew up there and she never paid attention … they were just pretty.”

Stewart said they started looking around and he was surprised at how much agate was just lying on the ground on the private property, which had been virtually undis-

turbed for centuries.

Most of the agates they collect are called nodular agates, probably formed from volcanic activity, he said. Agate is a crystalline rock, found in many types of rocks, and is known for its fine grain and bright color.

“My degree is in fisheries and wildlife sciences. So, we (knew) a minor amount of the geology, but I learn a lot from this guy,” Stewart said, referring to Warren. “Actually, it really helps to be around a lot of people who know rocks … I’ve learned more in the last two years, just dealing with the club, dealing with rocks, about rocks, than all of my life put together.”

Next to one wall at the show was the treasure hunt table, manned by Becky Matz and her three kids, where kids could dip a pie tin into a box of wood shavings and then use tweezers to pull out gems hidden in the fluff.

The Matz family became interested in rock hounding about five years ago.

“It all started because this one was really interested in rocks,” Becky Matz said, referring to her 12-year-old son, Logan.

“I just like looking for rocks because it’s sort of like an Easter egg hunt where you get to go and find little surprises, and I just think that they’re beautiful and fun as decorations. Just cool to collect,” Logan said.

Becky, her husband Chad, and their kids, Logan, 15-year-old Kacie and 9-year-old Jessica, try to make it every month to the rock and gem club’s trips. It’s a great way to spend time together and learn, she said.

“My husband was not into rocks, but then we went on the first rock hunt, and he was hooked,” Becky said. “This is like a treasure hunt.”

At the Matz home, there are plenty of gems to go around.

“All underneath my bed is completely full,” Logan said. “Outside in the porch is boxes all around, and tubs and stuff, in the rock garden there’s piles of them, out on the hill we have piles of them, down inside the garage there’s more piles of them, and out in the shed we have more piles. I think we have a decent amount.”

It has been a tough year for in crime and punishment. Not the bleak, voluminous pre-Putin Russia Dostoyevsky novel, but rather our less comprehensible justice system.

After months of investigation, the Ferguson and Baltimore crimes remain unsettled. However, just four months after the Super Bowl that most people had forgotten, the governing bodies of sports have passed sentence on the perpetrators in the deflated football scandal. It was not technically a crime but rather a rule infraction for which suspen-

football pressure could not have been explained by mid-game temperature variations and chance alone. If only we could convince people of global climate change so easily.

Did the punishment fit the crime? Since $1 million probably barely pays for a week’s worth of marketing for the Patriots, why not put that money to better use and fly them all over to Nepal to move rubble for a couple weeks?

They are big strong guys; that should work. There would be some symmetry in punishing silliness with seriousness.

Being a simultaneously frivolous and warmongering country, we have a difficult time with

punishment. The Boston Marathon bomber’s fate is being debated on the basis of both compassion and retribution. On the one un-blown-off hand, some are against the death penalty for moral reasons, while others are citing that life in prison starting at age 20 is a much harsher punishment than death. Everyone wins on this one because we want the harshest punishment while still feeling morally superior to the barbaric behav-

ior in other parts of the world.

Throughout history we have tried to make the punishment fit the crime, or, in Biblical terms, garner an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. I’m guessing this goes back to when fighting was a little more brutal and body parts were extracted in the process. No need to kill someone over the loss of an eye or tooth; just make a fair exchange in an involuntary organ donor sort of way. It’s

hard to understand how it escalated to a beheading for a religious slur.

Beheadings seem to be becoming popular and not just on “Game of Thrones.” We stand appalled though we were lynching people in the United States just a couple generations ago; the main difference is there was no YouTube then.

It actually took the U.S. several years to pass laws against lynching because See CRIME on Page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — David McCullough’s latest work of history followed a spontaneous path, from a book about many Americans in Paris in the 20th century to the biography of just two.

“Among the people I turned up were the Wright brothers, and it just astonished me that they were even in France, let alone that it had an important part to play in their story,” says the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, a Boston resident visiting New York to promote “The Wright Brothers,” coming out this week.

“Just reading about them, I realized how much more interesting they were, how much more compelling than I had any idea. And I thought, ‘No, this is the book.’”

The 81-year-old McCullough was interviewed recently in a private study at the Yale Club in Manhattan, a favorite setting for the Yale alumnus. He sees “The Wright Brothers,” already optioned by Tom Hanks for a planned miniseries, as the last

of an unofficial “trilogy of accomplishment,” following his landmark “The Great Bridge” about the Brooklyn Bridge and “The Path Between the Seas” about the Panama Canal. Paris is part of the Wrights’ story because they at first received more support from the French than from the Americans. McCullough also traces their childhood in Ohio, their devoted parents and Wilbur’s relentless self-education, the bicycle shop where they first revealed their mechanical genius and the 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that later allowed them to claim honors as the first successful pilots (McCullough dismisses recent claims by Connecticut officials that a resident of their state, Gustave Whitehead, was the real pioneer).

One of the world’s most popular and honored historians, McCullough has written about presidents, Paris, bridges and natural disasters. But he sees common themes and approaches in his work. His first book,

er was which (Short answer: Orville wore a mustache, Wilbur didn’t). McCullough educated himself through reading and travel, visiting Kitty Hawk, Paris and other sites of their early experiments and looking through thousands of pages of letters and diaries.

Slade’s awareness of the world also consists of Utah landmarks where he photographed “Panoramic View from Stansbury Island,” which is the second largest island within the Great Salt Lake. Slade has been visiting the lake’s shores, islands and hidden places for nearly 20 years.

USU grad receives the Billington Prize Jared Farmer, a Utah State University College of Humanities and Social Sciences alumnus, is the recipient of the 2015 Ray Allen Billington Prize awarded by the Organization of American Historians.

Farmer graduated magna cum laude in 1996 with departmental and university honors in history.

The prestigious Billington prize is awarded biennially to the author of “the best book about American frontier history,” which includes the pioneer periods of all geographical areas, and comparisons between American frontiers and others. The prize honors Ray Allen Billington, who served as OAH president from 1962-1963.

He was a prolific writer about American frontiers.

Farmer was honored for his book “Trees in Paradise: A California History.”

The book tells the history of the Golden State through its trees, both those brought to the state beginning in the booming Gold Rush era (citrus, eucalyptus) as well as native varieties such as the giant redwoods.

Botanist Sir Peter Crane, author of “Ginkgo,” commented on Farmer’s book. “(The book is) a sweeping and brilliantly observed history of the promise and pitfalls of the California Dream, as seen through the intertwined lives of trees and people,” Crane said.

Farmer received his undergraduate degree in history from Utah State University and went on to earn a master’s degree from University of Montana and his doctorate from Stanford University. He currently is an associate professor of history at the State University of New York-Stony Brook.

“As an Aggie, I’m especially gratified to win a major book prize for American frontier history,” Farmer said.

“It was on Old Main Hill where I started doing serious western history with encouragement from professor David Rich Lewis and other USU faculty affiliated with the ‘Western Historical Quarterly.’”

Hebner began writing about the Southern Paiute in 1990 when the Kaibab Band on the Arizona Strip turned down hundreds of millions of dollars by refusing to allow a hazardous waste incinerator on its reservation. Impressed by the decision, he asked to see interviews with different elders.

“As a lifelong resident of Cache Valley, I have grown up with the beauty and variety of Utah landscapes and wildlife,” Jones says. “I have been fortunate to live for short periods of time in Jackson Hole, Scottsdale and Seattle, giving me opportunities to photograph some of my favorite places over and over again.

Although their homeland — containing 16 national parks and monuments — is now appreciated for its beauty, until recently their deserts were considered useless, and the Southern Paiute culture survived in isolated, ignored pockets in these American deserts. As late as 1918 the San Juan Paiute still lived their ancient migration between Douglas Mesa and Allen Canyon in southeast Utah. The elders often told stories, heard from their grandparents, from before

“Together, the portraits and interviews paint a compelling picture of the depth of their shared history with each other and their lands, the challenges they face today and how very different their lives and culture were just one or two generations ago,” Utah Arts and Museums information said.

From 2000-07, Christiansen was the senior editor at Mel Bay Publications, and from 2007-08 he was the director of curriculum and artistic director of the guitar department at The Music School in American Fork. In the fall of 2008, Christiansen assumed duties teaching at USU, as well as at the famed

Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.

Christiansen replaced his father as the director of guitar studies at USU in July 2013.

Christiansen’s music draws on the tradition of the masters but leans towards the future — rooted in the tradition of the jazz language but just bluesy and gritty enough to not alienate larger audiences. His current music follows his first two recordings, proving he has the ability to keep the artistic integrity of the music without pushing listeners away.

AP: What are your thoughts about Letterman’s retirement from ‘Late Show’ next week?

Michaels: He has the highest level of integrity. I watch his show, and there’s something very honest about it, and truly funny. Because he’s been in New York, and he used to be in this same building (hosting ‘Late Night’ from 198293), and because his bandleader (Paul Shaffer) used to be here (in the early years of ‘SNL’) there’s

AP: Letterman is leaving after a total of 33 years in late-night talk, at age 68. You’ve been running ‘Saturday Night Live’ for 40 years, along with many other projects, and this season you observed your 70th birthday. Do you have an exit strategy?

Michaels: I have no plans not to be here. It’s what I do, I love it, and I feel really strong and clear about what I want to do. In terms of the hours, and how hard it is, well, the schedule is the schedule. I leave here on Tuesday nights around 2 o’clock in the morning.

Dr. Tom D. Crouch, a Wright biographer praised by McCullough and a senior curator at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., told The Associated Press that he had looked through the diaries while working on his own 1989 book and missed the Haugh entry. Crouch gives McCullough “full credit for being the first to identify Wilbur’s assailant in a Wright biography.”

McCullough tries to connect his books to the present and sees in the Wrights an exemplary case of persistence. They endured numerous failures, humiliations and near-fatal mishaps, including a
