FROM THE EDITOR Close to two decades ago, I went down to Salt Lake City to work on a Cache Magazine story about the United State Bowling Congress Open Championships. While wandering around the Salt Palace Convention Center and watching bowlers from all over the country, I encountered a group from Anaconda, Montana. Although I was originally from Idaho and living in Cache Valley, the Big Sky bowlers and I had an immediate kinship due to a legendary connection: Wayne Estes. The greatest basketball player in Utah State history, Estes grew up in Anaconda
before being enticed to play basketball in Logan. The All-American had just become the first Aggie to surpass 2,000 career points when he was electrocuted on Feb. 8, 1965, leaving two communities in mourning ... and that grieving has never really stopped. Wednesday afternoon, Utah State officially named its new basketball and volleyball facility in honor of Estes. As Herald Journal sports editor Shawn Harrison so accurately put it, the event was “A day of reflection and looking forward for Utah State athletics.” While the Estes Center will certainly aid in recruiting and help coaches and athletes perform at a higher level, the structure is hardly just a building with Estes’ name slapped on the front. Numerous exhibits and artwork in the front foyer celebrate the legacy of Wayne Estes, and
the work done by USU athletic director Scott Barnes et al clearly moved Estes’ family, who traveled down from Montana for the grand opening. As great as Estes was before his life was cut short, it’s entirely possible that a building at USU would have been named in his honor even if he hadn’t died 49 years ago. But as I drank in the exhibits Wednesday, I couldn’t help but think that the beauty of Estes’ all-too-brief life is that he will forever live in his youth, knocking down hook shots in Aggie shorts now regarded as much too short. Wayne Estes is like our — and Anaconda’s — John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe or James Dean. A legend who left us too soon, but who will always be remembered as a young superstar frozen in time. — Jeff Hunter
Cannonball’s grandiose run
Old daredevil turns focus to bike trip across U.S.
– Dennis Hinkamp’s advice to Godzilla (Page 10)
By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
At the moment, the man known as “Cannonball” Smith is not exactly moving at a pace representative of his nickname. Dressed in a flannel shirt, cargo pants and a rain jacket, David Smith, Sr., is slowly working his way up his way up Wellsville Canyon on Monday afternoon. As cars and trucks fly up the hill on U.S. Hwy. 89/91, he walks about 30 or 40 yards at a time before sitting alongside the edge of a road on a handmade, one-legged stool that is strapped around his midsection. But then, Smith is just short of 71 years old. Not to mention, his mountain bike is weighed down by a small trailer loaded down with provisions. The Atlantic Ocean certainly seems like a long ways away, particularly when Smith declares: “I don’t ride bikes. This is a new thing.” The bike, however, is not. An old silver Cannondale with mismatched tires, the front of which is already quite worn, Smith’s steed comes equipped with a coffee can attached to the handlebars. Painted yellow with a white lid, the can contains

Jon Hamm’s baseball film is corny but fun
presented by
By Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer
Let’s face it, there’s something about a baseball movie that just invites corniness. The hardest hearts soften at the mere sound of a cracking bat. It’s hard for a filmmaker to resist laying the syrup on too thick. And so it is with the Disney film “Million Dollar Arm,” which makes a direct, uncomplicated, er, pitch for your heart — a pitch that will probably hit its mark, despite your best instincts telling you this movie should really be subtler at almost every turn. Oh well. Somehow, this flaw doesn’t feel like the biggest crime — especially when you have a high-quality cast at work. The quality starts with Jon Hamm, who by virtue of his well-known charisma, makes a good case for his future film career, now that his days as Don Draper

on TV’s “Mad Men” are sadly ending. Like Draper, Hamm’s character here, the reallife sports agent JB Bernstein (the film’s based on a true story), has a certain narcissism at his core. Unlike Draper, however, this isn’t a deeply drawn character. Whatever faults he displays at the beginning (he prefers to date sexy models, and he wants to make money — oh no!) are pretty much neatly cured by the end. In any case, the best parts of the story are actually not about Ber-
nstein, but about the two young Indian men he brings to America in hopes of creating the next international baseball sensation — and opening up a huge, untapped market in the world’s second most populous country. Hence the title, “Million Dollar Arm,” which is the contest that Bernstein devises to find his young stars. As the film begins, Bernstein and his partner Ash (the always entertaining Aasif Mandvi) are searching for

The Reel Place Aaron Peck
A big-budget summer blockbuster has no right being this artistic. It has no right being this intelligent, this fascinating and this concerned with getting it right. If “Man of Steel” was any indication, Hollywood is content with blowing up as many buildings as possible, as long as they don’t have to do it in any sort of interesting way. It’s hard to avoid hyperbole at this point because Gareth Edwards’ revisiting of “Godzilla” is revelatory as far as summer fare is concerned. It’s a heady sci-fi thriller with killer pacing, fine characters and a purposeful use of computer animation. Without drowning the entire audience in expository scenes, the film lays out the premise in its carefully choreographed opening credits sequence. Alexandre Desplat’s frenzied score hits you like a ton of bricks. His energetic, thumping score is one of the many highlights of this movie. As the score swells, we’re instantly sucked into the story. Old classified nuclear test footage is
other gigantic monsters in the middle of a metropolitan area, there’s a strong homage being paid to the original films. There’s an artistic flare at work here, like when Godzilla roars and then his head slowly disappears into a cloud of debris. But the most absorbing aspect of “Godzilla” might be how utterly helpless humans are to stop what is happening. Sure, they try to come up with a few solutions, but they’re never really in control. There’s always this constant feeling of helplessness from the humans, which in a way is a refreshing idea. We aren’t bombarded with macho military men hell-bent on destroying the monster no matter the cost. Instead they think logically, but always out of

‘The Princess
The Smithfield Youth The story during annual He STORY BY SHANNON NIELSEN • “It’s not about the
show, it’s about the children.” That’s the motto for the Smithfield Youth Theatre, a local theater where every child who signs up will be in the show, no matter what. Susan Burras, the director of the theater, said these productions are an opportunity for kids to come out and enjoy many aspects of the theater. “The whole process is really an amazing thing,” she said. “It blows me away every year.” Burras has been the director for the last five years but has worked with the theater since it started nine years ago. This year’s Health Days production, “The Princess and the Pea,” was an adaptation of the Hans Christian Anderson story where the king and queen go on a journey to bring back the finest princesses from around the world to see who their true heir is. The production had around 170 children participate, including many children who have literally grown up in this theater. Will Weber, who is now 13, has been a part of every production
since he was five. It’s almost like his second home. As the King, he said he was able to be the fun-loving, easygoing character. “I like to make my characters funny,” he said, “because I’m kind of a funny person.” One of the things he made his own is what he did on his throne.
The throne was too big, he said, so he couldn’t touch his feet to the ground, which drove him crazy. So, he decided to make that one of the King’s quirks. He’d swing his feet every time he sat down. He loves the productions for the annual Health Days celebration and says he plans on being a part of it until he’s out of high school.
Above, Megan Durrant acts with Josh Watts during a dress rehearsal for “The Princess and the Pea” in Smithfield. Top, Durrant, right, interacts with Elijah Larson during a scene as Emma Hansen rests on a bed.
“I love the butterflies before,” he said. “It’s just a load of fun for me.” Burras said besides the actual creation of the story and production, her favorite part every year is the two weeks she gets to work with the kids to finalize the production. She loves the theater and music, so Burras loves what she does, but she said the kids are really what steal the show. “You can’t know what it’s doing for these kids,” she said. “It makes me feel like the pebble in the pond.” Burras’ kids were a part of the theater, she said, and have since come back after graduating from high school and college to be assistants and help with the productions. Former participants who are at Utah State University come back to help with the event, as well, and that gives them experience and great networking abilities. Not only do the people want to come back to help the production, but it gives them the feelings they had when they were in them. Burras’ daughter even said it was the highlight of her childhood. Tara Gregory, the Caribbean
s and the Pea’
eatre presents the classic ealth Days celebration PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN ZSIRAY Princess, is 17 and has been a part of the Health Days productions since they started. She said every year is so different but always so much fun. “Sometimes just being on stage is fun,” she said. “It’s so fun to be a part of it.” Performing with the theater, Gregory said, has been a big part of her growing up. She feels at home on stage and has made some great friends throughout all her years in the productions. Juli Weber, one of the choreographers, said she had been a part of Health Days when she was younger, when it wasn’t a children’s show and more of a variety show. “Of course, I wanted to be involved and I wanted Will to be involved,” she said. “It’s a family affair.” Weber said there are two things that are amazing and unique about this production every year. “I love the chaos that turns into awesomeness in the end,” she said. “And I love that everybody can be involved.” Regardless of talent, no one gets turned away, Weber said, and that makes it so much more enjoyable for everyone involved. Having her
kids be a part of the productions has made everything she does worth it, she said. “It gives them experience that they wouldn’t get anywhere else,” she said. “We do this, and they love it. It’s a great outlet.” It introduces children to theater from a very young age, Weber said, which is priceless.
The show is put together in just two weeks, Burras said. Aside from those two weeks, she spends the next year doing research about which story to do, writing an adaptation of the story, picking music, creating lyrics, and figuring out costumes and any other thing along the way to make the productions possible.

Smithfield city has helped immensely, she said, and without their support, the show would not go on. “I’m just grateful we get to do this every year,” Burras said. “In a larger community, I might not get this opportunity.” Even though every child who signs up for the show gets to be a part of it, the parents get to be a part, as well. With over 100 parent volunteers who do choreography, costumes, lighting, props, sets and many more things for the production, the show is possible because of their contributions. “It’s not just the kids that get a lot out of it,” Burras said. “I love that the community does this for our kids.” Kids are really the reason for the theater, she said. The No. 1 goal is to give an opportunity to every child that wants it. Even though Burras loves that the show miraculously comes together in two weeks, with over 100 kids working hard to remember everything within that time, it’s all about the experience the kids have. “It’s not a matter of what the show looks like,” Burras said. “It’s all about the kids.”

A little advice for my old pal, Godzilla sun motionless on rocks unless disturbed. Given your size and surly reputation, I’m guessing you could lie on any rock anywhere for as long as you wanted without anyone bothering you. If you are like me, I think you will find that naps are one of life’s greatest pleasures that have only been fully utilized by dogs. Travel and explore: It certainly seems that cities annoy you, yet you keep coming back to them. Maybe you just need to spend a little more time in rural areas where the pace of life us slower and there are fewer people shooting
at you. Might I suggest the Florida Keys or Cabo San Lucas — both have excellent local food and fruity rum drinks. I think a couple weeks on the beach would change your whole outlook on life. Don’t forget the sunscreen LOL! Retirement planning: I’m having to go through the same thought process myself; what am I going to do when I retire or should I retire at all?

Sherrié Austin to perform in June New
Australian singer/songwriter Sherrié Austin will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 27, at the Bullen Center Carousel Ballroom. Tickets are $28 are available at cachearts.org, by calling 752-0026 or at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts Box Office at 43 S. Main Street. Tickets are limited. Austin burst onto the American country music scene in 1997 with the release of her first album, “Words,” which produced the hit singles “Lucky in Love,” “One Solitary Tear,” “Put Your Heart into It” and “Innocent Man.” She went on to release “Love in the Real World” (1999), “Followin’ a Feelin’” (2001) and “Streets of Heaven” (2003). The title track from “Streets of Heaven,” which tells the heartbreaking story of a mother praying for her dying 7-year-old daughter, reached No. 18

Dr. Serizawa humbly states, “The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control ... and not the other way around.” It’s a profound statement. As we watch the U.S. Navy helplessly follow Godzilla’s hulking mass through the Pacific Ocean heading straight for San Francisco, we realize he’s right.

Books Dylan’s fans comprise strange subculture
By Jerry Harkavy Associated Press
A Bob Dylan obsession manifests itself in a variety of ways in “The Dylanologists: Adventures in the Land of Bob.” Dylan fans from around the world celebrate his May 24 birthday by converging on the northern Minnesota town of Hibbing, “the capital of the Land of Bob.” They may stop for a burger and a beer at Zimmy’s, the Dylan-themed bar and restaurant in the town that Robert Zimmerman fled more than 50 years ago before he
took on a new identity and became arguably the most influential and enduring entertainer of his time. For the more obsessed, such a pilgrimage is not

One night, though, idly channel-flipping between a cricket game and Susan Boyle’s famous out-ofnowhere audition on “Britain’s Got Talent,” Bernstein comes up with the idea to find cricket players who might be able to pitch a baseball. Thus begins a picturesque journey through the Indian countryside — making for director Craig Gillespie’s most compelling visuals — for Bernstein and the wise-cracking, constantly napping baseball scout he recruits, Ray (the reliably cranky Alan Arkin) and a local baseball fanatic working for free, Amit (sweetly played by the comic actor Pitobash.)
nearly enough. Seeking a material link to their idol, they acquire pieces of the original windows of Dylan’s home after its most recent owners replaced them. “It’s like the four thousand relics of the true cross,” one fan said. Another Dylan devotee bought Dylan’s highchair and the home in Duluth where his family lived when he was born. These Dylan enthusiasts, or Dylanologists, as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney calls them in his very readable and entertaining book, include artifact collectors, fans who attempt to record his concerts, scholars who
look for hidden meaning in his songs and those who seek a personal connection with their hero by getting to the front of the house at concerts and trying to make eye contact with him. Part of Dylan’s mystique is his career-long refusal to communicate with fans about changes in his musical styles or the themes and lyrics of his songs. “What better way to build your following than to tell people to go away?” Kinney writes. “Dylan kept people off balance. He did the unexpected. He refused to explain himself.” His quest for privacy only fuels the efforts of

‘Neighbors’ move into the top spot LOS ANGELES (AP) — Seth Rogen and Zac Efron have bested the web-slinger at the box office. Rogen and Efron’s familyversus-fraternity comedy “Neighbors,” was the top draw for moviegoers this weekend, unseating last week’s champ, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” The R-rated “Neighbors” debuted with $51 million in ticket sales, pushing Spidey to second place with $37 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Most of the young men they find can’t pitch worth a darn. But ultimately they come across Dinesh (the handsome Madhur Mittal, of “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (the soulful Suraj Sharma, who starred in “Life of Pi.”) Neither is actually a cricket player. But no matter — they
“Sustaining a No. 1 ranking is generally tougher in the summer than any other time of year,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “You don’t expect a comedy to be able to unseat an epic blockbuster, but historically it happens more than you think.” R-rated comedies have traditionally found success in the summer movie season: Think “Bridesmaids,” ‘’The Hangover,” 2012’s “Ted” and last year’s “The Heat.”
“Neighbors” stars Rogen and Rose Byrne as new parents finding their footing in the suburbs when a fraternity led by Efron moves in next door. Filled with goofball and grossout gags balanced with a dash of heart, the comedy boasts some epic party scenes and ample shirtless Efron. Another comedy, the Cameron Diaz-Leslie Mann revenge romp “The Other Woman” held onto third place in its third week of release, adding $9 million to its take.

that they’ve barely touched a baseball and don’t even know what the glove’s for. Of course, there are yet more obstacles. The two are homesick. Forced to live in Bernstein’s apartment, they wreak havoc in his dating life. Luckily, the next-door neighbor, Brenda, is a pretty, smart,

caring medical student (Lake Bell). This eventual relationship is telegraphed in such an obvious way, there might as well have been a subtitle when Brenda first appears: “SOONTO-BE GIRLFRIEND.” Will the two players overcome their lack of training, their nervousness, and the cynical baseball press corps to have their moment of glory? Will Bernstein realize that there’s something more important than making money? Uh, have you ever seen a baseball movie? (And besides, we told you this was a true story.) But let’s not nitpick. It’s a baseball movie! It’s heartwarming, and hey, it has Jon Hamm. Enough said. ——— “Million Dollar Arm,” a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG “for mild language and some suggestive content.” Running time: 124 minutes. Three stars out of four.

While his route is still a bit sketchy, as of Monday he planned to ride and push his bike and trailer over to Brigham City, then south through Salt Lake City, Provo and Moab. “Then I’ll work my way on down to Cortez — I think that’s Texas,” he says, badly misplacing Cortez, Colorado. “Then I’ll probably take (Interstate) 82 across the country to the other side of Alabama, that way I’ll miss the Appalachians, so I don’t have to try and climb over them. “But it’s not too far around the bottom of the Appalachians up to Myrtle Beach.” One of Smith’s daughters currently works as a human cannonball in South Carolina, and he plans to find a homeless person in the Myrtle Beach area who would be interested in using his trailer. “She finishes in late September; I can prob-

The best known Dylanologist — he is credited with coining the
term — was A.J. Weberman, who in the late 1960s and early ‘70s famously sifted through the garbage bins outside Dylan’s Greenwich Village house in search of clues to a secret code allegedly hidden in the singer’s lyrics. Weberman went on to comb through the trash of Jackie Onassis, Henry Kissinger and Dustin Hoffman, among others. For some Dylan fans, nothing tops the prospect of scoring a concert spot at the foot of the stage. But winding up “on the rail” means arriving the night before the show, waiting in line without sleep and swapping sharp words and elbows with others who have the same goal in mind. Kinney describes how it’s done by going

I think I would learn something about people.” On Smith’s blog, which he plans to update along his trip, Smith says he slipped and fell in the shower just before starting his journey. But the man who never suffered any severe injuries during 36 years as a human cannonball never thought for a second about not heading out for South Carolina on the Monday after Mother’s Day. “It’s great getting old; I love getting old,” Smith proclaims. “And I encourage people to do something. I’m sure they can do more than they think they can if they just get started.” ——— To see “Cannonball” Smith in action as a daredevil or follow along on his journey back East, visit thejourneyofcannonballsmith.blogspot.com.

After Smith retired, Marie logically assumed most of her husband’s adventures would be much more sedate, but soon he started talking about walking across the country. Then he decided to ride a bike. “I kind of hoped he’d change his mind,” she says. “I think it’s going to be tough.” As of Thursday evening, Marie says Smith was actually near Morgan and was planning to take a day off to rest. He didn’t take a whole lot with him as far as food goes, partly because he says he wanted to experience homelessness along his journey. “I don’t know the next time I’ll get a shower,” he says while sitting by his bike on Monday. “I’ll probably have to find a lake or a stream.
