FROM THE EDITOR This week’s cover story by Lance Frazier is on Smithfield’s Health Days, and that means we’re officially on the clock.

Although summer’s not even truly here yet, it already feels like summer is quickly slipping away.

Mendon’s already had May Day, Smithfield’s done with Health Days and Richmond is all about the holstein this week during Black and White Days.

Ever since moving here over two decades ago, I’ve always thought the

unique summer celebrations held throughout Cache Valley are one of the best things about living in this area.

And after surviving a long, cold winter, it’s real easy to get excited about all the food, fun and entertainment to look forward to this summer.

While this is by no means a comprehensive list of gatherings and dates to consider attending over the next three-plus months, I’m sure there are more than enough events to whet your appetite for summer fun as the weather gets warmer and warmer: • Cache Valley Rendezvous, May 24-27.

• Celebrate Providence, June 8.

• Summerfest in Logan, June 13-15.

• Nibley Heritage Days, June 17-22.

• Old Mill Days in Millville, June 22.

• Idaho Days in Franklin, June 27-29.

• Hyrum’s Star-Spangled Fourth of July, July 4.

• Lewiston’s Fourth of July Celebration, July 4.

• Cache Valley Cruise-In, July 4-6.

• Pioneer Day in Logan, July 24.

• That Famous Preston Night Rodeo, July 25-27.

• Bear Lake Raspberry Days, Aug. 1-3.

• Cache County Fair and Rodeo, Aug. 8-10.

• Wellsville Founders’ Day, Aug. 30-Sept. 2.

all mixed up Children’s Choir to perform in Logan

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

The Salt Lake Children’s Choir will head north to perform at 7:30 p.m. tonight at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 85 E. 100 South in Logan.

The public is invited at no charge. The concert is suitable for those over 6 years of age.

Now in its 33rd year under the direction of founder Ralph B. Woodward, the Salt Lake Children’s Choir has long been regarded as one of the finest ensembles of its kind in the nation. “(Woodward) called me to see if there was a time and place for the choir to come and perform here in Logan,” concert organizer Carolyn Bentley explained. “We worked out that they will be coming to Logan on May 17 to perform their spring repertoire, which they presented in Salt Lake City in April.

“We and others of Cache Valley always drive down to attend this outstanding con-

cert every spring, but this year, they are bringing their program to Logan to perform.

It is always thrilling to hear these pure, lovely voices

Spring Organ Concert scheduled for May 24 The Spring Organ Concert will held at 7 p.m. Friday, May 24, at the Logan Tabernacle. The concert will feature four organists: Karla Axtell, Kelvins Smith, Harry Heap and Jonathan Rose.

Axtell traveled to Italy in 2011 with the USU University Choirs where she accompanied the choirs in various cathedral performances. She is currently studying organ with Lynn Thomas.

Smith received a

master’s degree in 1992 from BYU in organ performance, and he is currently a guest organist at the Salt Lake Tabernacle.

Heap served as organist and choirmaster at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Logan for 20 years and has performed and directed choral and organ concerts in the Logan Tabernacle.

Rose joined the musical staff of St. John’s in 2009 as organist and choirmaster.

trained in the tradition of the European children’s choirs.”

Widely admired for its remarkable artistry and its pure, angelic sound, the choir

has been featured at numerous conventions of the American Choral Directors’ Association, has performed and recorded with the Utah Symphony and

Mormon Tabernacle Choir and has been heard on PBS and Public Radio International.

For the past three Christmases, the Salt Lake Children’s Choir was also heard on American Public Media’s “Performance Today” which is carried by some 260 public radio stations nationwide.

The program will include the music of Palestrina, Robert Schumann and Edvard Grieg, folk songs from Sweden, Scotland and Southern Mexico, as well as sentimental favorites “’O sole mio” and “When It’s Springtime in the Rockies.” Also heard will be the choir’s own ethereal setting of the Sara Teasdale poem “Stars,” the Native American “Zuni Sunrise” and choir’s lively calypso “Down by the Seashore.”

The traditional “A Day in Spring,” written by the director, will conclude the program.

Visit childrensing.com for more information on the Salt Lake Children’s Choir.

Westminster Bells to play Tabernacle Using four octaves of English handbells and three octaves of chimes, the Westminster Bell Choirs will fill the Logan Tabernacle with the sounds of everything from classical to contemporary favorites at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 18.

The performance will include “Andante” from Vivaldi’s “Concerto in G Major,” the spiritual “Joshua Fit the Battle of The Westminster Bell Choirs will perform at the Jericho” and Lady Gaga’s Logan LDS Tabernacle Saturday night.

“Just Dance.” The audi-

ence will be encouraged to drum along to the African beat of “Bwana Asifiwe! (Praise the Lord)” and enjoy the Cinderella story anew through Westminster ringer Jill Bowers’ newest composition, “Cinderella’s Escape.”

The 20 ringers of the two Westminster Bell Choirs will be joined by Claire Cardon on violin, Emma Cardon on cello, Nathan Hult on percussion and Colleen Gordin on bass guitar.

Marking the 30th year since its inception, the Clarkston Pageant “Martin Harris: The Man Who Knew” will be presented Aug. 2-3, 6-10 and 13 to 17.

Free tickets are now available for this production which recounts some of the early events surrounding the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the life of the prominent Palmyra, N.Y., citizen: Martin Harris, one of the three

witnesses to the origin of the Book of Mormon.

The bi-annual pageant is presented in the outdoor amphitheater adjacent to the Clarkston Cemetery, where Martin Harris is buried. The event traditionally draws thousands to the picturesque farm community on the west side of Cache County.

Admission is free, but reservations are required and may be obtained online at www.clarkstonpageant.org.

It’s time to purchase tickets for this year’s show, which will run Sept. 3-7, in the Evan Stevenson Ballroom at Utah State University. Call 752-0026 or visit celebrateamericashow.com.

If any piece of classic American literature should be depicted on film with wildly decadent and boldly inventive style, it’s “The Great Gatsby.” After all, who was the character of Jay Gatsby himself if not a spinner of grandiose tales and a peddler of lavish dreams?

And Baz Luhrmann would seem like the ideal director to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story to the screen yet again, to breathe new life into these revered words, having shaken up cultural institutions previously with films like “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!” But in Luhrmann’s previous films, there still existed a fundamental understanding of the point of the stories he was telling; beneath their gorgeous trappings, they still reflected the heart and the purpose of the works from which they were drawn. His “Great Gatsby” is all about the glitter but it has no soul — and the fact that he’s directed it in 3-D only magnifies the feeling of artificiality.

His camera rushes and swoops and twirls through one elaborately staged

The people of “Peeples” make a better impression than most collections of oddballs in the weary mold of comedies centered on meeting the prospective in-laws. They still overstay their welcome, though.

With a long, boring buildup that finally pays off with scattered laughs in the second half, “Peeples” also manages to leave a better impression than the “Tyler Perry Presents” tag on the posters might imply. This is broad comedy, but nowhere near as broad — or boorish and shrill — as producer Perry’s own family adventures (for disclosure’s sake, there are screechy relations here, but Perry’s Madea fortunately isn’t among them). Craig Robinson moves up from caustic supporting player on “The Office” to show himself an engaging romantic lead in the chubby, lovable, gregarious Jack Black school, while Kerry Washington lightens up from heavier drama as the love of his life, a daddy’s girl whose daddy — a stern

“Star Trek Into Darkness” is fantastical summer fare through and through. It doesn’t matter that the villain, while played remarkably well

by Benedict Cumberbatch (“Sherlock”), is somewhat underwritten.

And it doesn’t matter that the story of the movie feels like something that’s been cobbled together from various “Star Trek” TV show plots. What the movie lacks it makes up for in complete sensory overload — in a good way.

J.J. Abrams’ newest “Star Trek” film is, well, what do the quotes on the TV spots always say?

“A non-stop action thrill ride!” While those kinds of quotes are awfully cliché, here they’d be spot on. There’s a whole lot to love about “Star Trek Into Darkness,” and most of that has to do with the insane amount of deep space action that’s going on.

The story is pretty slim.

John Harrison (Cumberbatch) is a terrorist with frightening capabilities.

He poses a real threat to Starfleet and has the means to attack them.

‘Great Gatsby’ fares well at box office first week

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gatsby looks almost as great as a superhero at the weekend box office.

Leonard DiCaprio’s “The Great Gatsby” partied like it was the Roaring ‘20s with a $51.1 million debut that made it a surprisingly strong runner-up to comicbook blockbuster “Iron Man 3.”

Studio estimates Sun-

day put “Gatsby” at No. 2 behind Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero sequel, which pulled in $72.5 million domestically to raise its total to $284.9 million after just 10 days in U.S. theaters.

With an additional $89.3 million in its third weekend overseas, “Iron Man 3” lifted its international total to $664.1 million and its worldwide haul to $949 million.

Action!

origins of the beloved characters they’re playing. They use that to their advantage.

The action is fast and furious. Barring the inevitable “Can there really be fiery explosions in space?” arguments, Abrams gives us a great feeling of what it would be like out there in the great expanse. So many space travel movies and TV shows give space a linear feel. They place spaceships on the same plane as one another, straight across from each other like there is invisible ground beneath them.

Here Abrams understands that in space there really is no up or down. He is able to create some breathtaking scenes this

way.

Though the action is fraught with danger and is highly entertaining, Abrams does have the tendency to blur the image with purposeful shaky-cam. He doesn’t use it incessantly, which is a plus. If it weren’t for the 3D, I’m sure that the shaky-cam cinematography wouldn’t have bugged me nearly as much. Although, if you do see it in 3D, be warned that those shaky scenes are hard to comprehend while wearing those cumbersome glasses.

In the end Abrams has created yet another satisfying send up to a beloved franchise.

Will it please the geeks and Trekkies of the world? I’m sure some will be disappointed with the results. That’s fine, there’s really no pleasing some people.

The truth is, “Star Trek Into Darkeness” is the most exciting movie in this early summer season and there have already been a few pulse-pounding movies released. It’s sort of what the summer movie season is all about.

PICTURES OF HEALTH The city of Smithfield comes together for annual Health Days celebration

I

t might seem incongruous to call an event Health Days when it prominently features cotton candy, smoked sausages, guys called “Cheeseburger” and Lion Pups — those deep-fried, secret-recipe corn dogs (served with secret sauce) found only at Blue Sox baseball games.

Smithfield Health Days embraces all of those treats, but counterbalances them with a fun run, cycling events and activities that keep the kids hopping. All in all, it adds up to 89 years’ worth of annual celebrations that draw visitors near and far.

Kevin Dupree, a Utah State University graduate who now lives with his family in St. Anthony, Idaho, came to see old friends and to participate in Health Days. He and his wife Mandy, along with three of their young children, ran the 5K and were all wearing matching race T-shirts afterwards.

“We’ve been down for Health Days in the past, so we scheduled it in,” Dupree said. “It’s good weather, and the race is fun because you come down the canyon (at the end) so it boosts your time.”

The weather last week was indeed spectacular, maybe even too warm for those watching the live band or the horse pulls at the arena at Forrester Acres, where Health Days has been held in recent years. The horse pulls are a relatively new addition, more or less replacing a youth rodeo that faded away not long ago. The pulls feature giant draft horses dragging tons of weight for short distances, and harken back to the 1920s, when such horses actually did field work

and Health Days was born.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge issued a proclamation declaring a Saturday in May as national “health day,” according to a carefully kept scrapbook of the Smithfield event, and an elementary teacher started things locally by encouraging her students to have their teeth examined. “The focus on health has been emphasized through the years to include all aspects of health activities for the entire body,” the scrapbook notes.

These days Health Days boasts a week-long schedule that includes a family bike ride and a more serious mountain bike ride, a golf tournament, a music competition, a royalty program, a youth theater group performance, a 5K/10K/1-mile run followed by a pancake breakfast, a parade, a softball tournament, an adult baseball game and, to cap it all off, a fireworks show. Some of the activities are fundraisers for healthrelated groups, and each requires support from the community, usually in

the form of volunteer labor.

“We have some great people in the community,” said Brett Daniels, director of the Smithfield Recreation Center, which coordinates much of the schedule. “The nicest thing was when we moved down here (to Forrester Acres, from a location along Main Street).”

That move allowed organizers to group virtually all of Saturday’s activities on the west end of the park, near the arena, where a good-sized crowd endured that hot sun to watch an old-timey competition that has been resuscitated by a group of men for whom horse pulling is a hobby, not a vocation.

“It’s something that started from the old farmers,” said LaMont Poulsen, who is the chairman of the Cache County Fair but on Saturday was enjoying a rare afternoon as a spectator. “It’s just kind of a fun deal for these guys today.”

Most of the eight teams involved were tuning up for the following weekend’s Black and White Days, a larger event in Richmond which draws serious pullers from around the region and even Canada. Each team of two horses is accompanied by a driver and two “hookers” who are responsible to secure the harness to the weighted sled before the eager horses begin churning their dinner plate-sized hooves. On this day, Scott Downs and Phillip Spackman’s teams tied for first, each moving 6,500 pounds the required 20 feet.

Why it’s hard not to ask the question I know it is just one of those innocuous conversation starters but “Where ya from?” is a really loaded question. Unlike “How’s it going?” it is actually is supposed to illicit a descriptive response.

Separating the metaphysical, psychological and geographical is the hard part. Here is how I break it down.

Where do you call home? Home is more of a psychological examination. For some, home is the clichéd place you hang your hat; for others the place you live can never be

Hey there ... where did you grow up?

considered home no matter how many years you have lived there. I find this sentiment common among people who are in Utah but not of Utah; you know what I mean.

Where were you born?

This is easy enough for most people since there is physical record. However, it doesn’t really represent where you are from if you didn’t spend much time there. Say you were born in Hawaii while your mom was on vacation, you probably

would not think of yourself as Hawaiian. And of course, asking someone where they were born always opens you up to the wise crack “in a hospital.”

Where did you go to high school? This is what I usually ask when people dance around where they are from. You may have been a child of the military or had parents who changed jobs a lot, but high school graduation is a shared experience and a time when most people recall becoming somewhat of an adult. I do feel sorry for people who went to several high schools. That should be the one stable time in your life.

Where are your people from? This is sort of a folksy way (from my Missouri roots) of asking where your relatives are from in the United States. The trend of children moving all over the country and world is still

a relatively new phenomenon, so most of us have a concentration of relatives somewhere. Sometimes I will frame the question as “where would you have a family reunion if you were to have a family reunion?”

Where are you ancestors from? This question gets to your lineage. I’ve had European friends remark at how obsessed Americans are with this detail. A typical American will generally speak in percentages that give rise to the melting pot image of American.

“Well, I’m 20-percent Irish, 30-percent Italian, 25-percent French and 25-percent traveling

salesman.” That joke never gets old. But seriously folks, since we perfected — but did not invent — the practice of divorce, affairs, single mothers and adoption, it is hard to be really sure of your linage without genetic testing.

Where are you really, really, really from? I’ve only had a mild interest in genealogy but I have always been keenly interested in genetics. When genetic testing got down to the reasonable price of $200, I decided to give it a try. There are a few companies that do this, but I chose National Geographic because it has the best photos and

Books Dan Brown returns to Europe for ‘Inferno’

NEW YORK (AP) — Dan Brown sees the world a little differently than the average person.

“I wish I could travel for pleasure,” says the author of such scenic blockbusters as “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels and Demons,” in which secrets and suspense are combined with a guided tour of Italy and other stops in Western Europe. “Everything I see is a potential idea and I wish I could turn that off. Maybe I shouldn’t. But, yes, every little work of art that I see or place that I travel to is a potential idea.”

Brown, 48, spoke recently at the midtown Manhattan offices of Random House

continent and a chance, he hopes, to interest readers in the classic 14th century journey in verse by Dante that provides the title for his new novel.

“My hope for this book is that people are inspired either to discover or rediscover Dante. And, if all goes well, they will simultaneously appreciate some of the incredible art that Dante has inspired for the last 700 years,” says Brown, who with “The Da Vinci Code” helped Inc., where he jokingly inspire customized tours imagines setting a novel of the Louvre, Westmincalled “Random Cipher,” ster Abbey and other setwith hidden passageways tings in the novel. running throughout the Brown’s new book, pubbuilding.

Continued from Page 8 Driver and event organizer Eric “Cheeseburger” Christensen said he drives his team “every night in the summer if I can,” to work them into shape.

“It’s kind of like a weight-lifting competition,” he said. “If you don’t condition yourself, you’re not going to do well.”

The duo also has to work in nearperfect concert or their efforts will go for naught, added Christensen, who earned his nickname after winning a team-roping competition by yelping, “Cheeseburgers for everybody!”

Annette Pritchett used to bring her children to Health Days when they lived in Smithfield. Now she lives in Hyde Park and brings her grandchildren to ride on the “train” pulled by an ATV, and to chase candy shot from a cannon by two “mountain men.”

Counter-espionage became necessary during his European travels for “Inferno.”

“Researching now is a double-edged sword,” Brown says. “It’s great because I’ve got access to things I never had access to before. But it’s also more difficult because I’m trying to write in secret on some level and people know who I am.

So half of the questions I ask are totally irrelevant to the book, just to keep people guessing.”

Dante was highly critical of the Catholic church and Brown was happy to let readers and critics wonder if he would renew the controversies of “Angels See BROWN on Page 12

“This is a good place for kids,” Pritchett said. “I like that it’s so spacious, and I’m loving the good weather. I’m just watching my grandkids having fun. There are so many fun activities.”

Dani Lundberg, who coordinated the event for the Rec Center, said that variety is the key to attracting people from all walks of life. The fact that Health Days comes in May and more or less kicks off summer adds to the allure.

“It’s tons of fun for everyone because it involves so many different groups,” she said. “It’s one of the biggest events for Smithfield citizens.”

So maybe the Health Days title does apply, even for those who merely stroll around the vendor booths trying to decide between the Navajo taco and the barbecue sandwich. Because maybe it’s as much about mental health as anything. And it just wouldn’t feel right to force a guy to change his nickname to Veggieburger, even for one weekend.

Brown Continued from Page 11 and Demons” and “The Da Vinci Code,” both of which enraged church officials with such speculations as a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. But the target in “Inferno” is overpopulation, an issue not raised

by Dante even in his crowded rings of Hell.

“I’m always trying to keep people guessing,” Brown says. “When people heard I was writing about Dante, they said, ‘Of course, he’s going to be critical of religion.’ ...

That would have been too obvious.”

Brown does briefly take on the Vatican in “Inferno” for its “meddling in reproductive issues” and he praises Melinda Gates, “a devout Catholic herself,” for raising hundreds of millions of dollars to improve access to birth control.

Author Dan Brown’s latest book “Inferno” was published by Doubleday and released on Tuesday.

But instead of reviewing church history, Brown has spent the past few years studying the future. He has

Trek Continued from Page 3 “They assume you know about the world or the characters.

“The approach to ‘Star Trek,’ especially for ‘Into Darkness,’ was to make a standalone movie.

“You never have to have seen our first film or the original series. It’s its own thing. If you have, you’ll be rewarded, but you don’t have to.”

Abrams’ characters are drawn directly from the original series, led by impulsive, cocksure Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and uber-logical Vulcan first officer Spock (Zachary Quinto). But the filmmakers gave themselves freedom to play with character and plot, thanks to some alternate-universe sleight of hand.

“Star Trek Into Darkness” picks up where the first film left off, with the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the midst of a high-octane outer space adventure. Then a personal crisis shakes Kirk’s confidence, and a terrorist attack shatters Starfleet. Soon the crew are off in pursuit of a villain

immersed himself in transhumanism, which advocates the use of technology to alter the mind and body,

and has his characters debate the morality of genetics. Among those thanked in his acknowledgements are not just art scholars in Italy, but the “exceptional minds of Dr. George Abraham, Dr. John Treanor and Dr. Bob Helm for their scientific expertise.”

The book subscribes to no faith, but does contain a moral, from Dante himself: inaction during a time of crisis is a sin. Overpopulation, Brown says, is an issue so profound that all of us need to ask what should be done. The author himself has not decided.

“This is not an activist book. I don’t have any solution,” he says. “I don’t fall on the side of any particular proposed solution. This is just my way of saying, ‘Hello, there’s an issue that people far more skilled than I am in these topics need to address.’”

CVCA Continued from Page 5 3 that picks up from July 29 to Aug. 8. Registration is now open and filling quickly.
