CALENDAR 15 See what’s happening this week in Cache Valley
This could be it. Finally. As I write this early Thursday afternoon, there are dark, menacing clouds gathering above Cache Valley, and the weather forecast is calling for an 80 percent chance of rain before the end of the day. But after Thursday, for the first time in weeks — if not months — the 10-day forecast shows no signs of rain for Logan. This is, after all, right about the time we normally start to dry out in Cache Valley, at least in recent years. Usually we get
rain on a regular basis until the last week of May or the first week of June, and then it’s like someone turns the faucet off and we suddenly start to dry out. But as wet as this May has been, I think most of us started to wonder if that would ever happen. While the rain has certainly been welcome after the dreaded “drought” word was being tossed around so much in March and April, things did get a little out of hand, making it pretty much impossible to get your lawn mowed before it reached rain-forest status. And since the worst of the storms have been coming through on the weekends, it’s been a pretty lousy month for outdoor events. Health Days in Smithfield, Black & White Days in Richmond and the annual Cache Valley Rendezvous, which
had already relocated from Left Hand Fork in Blacksmith Fork Canyon to a site near Newton, all had to battle bad weather in May, leading to canceled events and/or decreased attendance. But now that we’re apparently ready to heat up and dry out, it’s definitely time to get outside and take advantage. It’s hard to believe that the annual Summerfest Arts Faire is just two weeks away, and after that, it’s just a few weeks to the Fourth of July. So, while it’s still green and lush, it’s definitely time to head up the canyons for a drive or a hike and enjoy the scenery ... which looks a lot more like Hawaii right now than you ever thought it could. — Jeff Hunter
Four ‘hot shows’ set to hit stage at downtown theater
The Lyric Repertory Company at Utah State University brings four hot shows to one cool place this summer. “The Lyric has been a big part of the community since 1967,” says Dennis Hassan, co-artistic director of the Lyric Rep. “This season we have a great cast from across the country, including interns and apprentices.” Opening this year’s season is “Noises Off,” a comedy by Michael Frayn. In this play within a play, a manic menagerie of traveling actors rehearses a flop called “Nothing’s On.” Personal problems from divorces and illicit love affairs to missing contact lenses distract the actors. Doors slamming, on and offstage plotting and misbehaving sardines all figure in the plot of the hilarious and classically witty play, Hassan says. The funny farce plays June 11-13 and 20, July 8, 11, 14, 18, 24 and 30. “Noises Off” is rated intermediate for mild adult themes. Arlene Hutton’s “Last Train to Nibroc” opens June 17. In December 1940, an eastbound cross-country train is carrying the bodies of American writers Nathanael West and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also on board is religious and bookish May, and charming, young flyer, Raleigh, who is heading to New York to be a writer. The two discover they are from neighboring towns and Raleigh decides to take May to the Nibroc Festival in Kentucky. Through distance and heartache, May and Raleigh find a spark that carries on through the aftermath of World War II. Watch the lovers in their search for happiness June 17-19 and 27, July 9, 15, 25 and 31. “Last Train to Nibroc” is rated intermediate for mild adult themes. Opening June 24, the award-winning

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

Lovestruck Orlando flees his angry and selfish brother Oliver. Banished Duke Senior also heads to the woods, where he and his lordly buddies like life much better than they did in court. The whole crew meet up with shepherds, some of whom are wise, some of whom are wacky, all of whom are in love. This is “As You Like It” — Shakespeare’s own gender-bending version of “Into The Woods.” Logan Youth Shakespeare will present this delightful and insightful comedy in its

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. See UTAH on Page 11
USU hosts ‘S. Paiute’ exhibit at the library 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 Merrill-Cazier 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 confederation in Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California. See USU on Page 12
family from Salt Lake City will perform a repertoire of sacred, classical, folk and Broadway songs; anything from “Orange Blossom Special” to Lloyd Weber’s “Pie Jesu.” The group consists of Brody and Corine Hart and their four children. Brody sings and plays the piano and organ, while Corine and all of the children sing and play the violin. Hartstrings
has performed numerous times on Temple Square for the Families Making Music concert series, Temple Square Concerts in the Park summer concert series and First Night Celebration. They performed last Christmas in the Logan Tabernacle for the first time and are thrilled to be back this spring. As a family, they have performed together as far away as India and Brazil.

“Serene Splendor” by Barbara Ive Green
Green says. 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 11

‘Tomorrowland’ takes the top spot at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — The future doesn’t look so bright for “Tomorrowland.” Disney’s expensive fantasy adventure essentially had Memorial Day weekend to itself, and still only pulled in a modest $41.7 million in its first four days in theaters according to Rentrak estimates on Monday. It’s a disappointing debut for a film that cost a reported $180 million to produce. Disney put their full weight behind
the Brad Bird-directed film with an ambitious George Clooney-led promotional campaign. “It’s not ever ideal to be below your estimate before the weekend starts, but it feels like it’s too early to judge the run,” said Disney’s Distribution EVP Dave Hollis. Going into the weekend, tracking put the film in the $40 to $50 million range. And yet, he said, this is the gamble that studios must take when trying to introduce an original film to the marketplace.

Both films experienced modest drops and earned $38.5 million and $32.1 million respectively. See BOX on Page 13
‘Texas Rising’ takes big-screen approach LOS ANGELES (AP) — The success of “Hatfields & McCoys” and “The Bible” inspired the History channel to go Texas-sized big with its new miniseries. “Texas Rising,” a 10-hour saga about the fight for independence from Mexico, was shot in wide-screen CinemaScope and was directed by Oscar-nominated Roland Joffe; features armies of extras in sprawling battle scenes; and includes songs performed by Kris Kristofferson, George Strait and Jose Feliciano amid a full symphonic score. But when “Texas Rising” debuted on Monday, executive producer Leslie Greif and leading men Bill Paxton and Olivier Martinez hoped viewers appreciated the story’s nuances as well as its breadth. The second episode aired on Tuesday, while the final three will be shown on Monday nights from June 1-15. “We wanted to try to tell the story from a lot of perspectives, so there
are really no villains in our piece,” Greif said. “There are villainous deeds ... but we didn’t want to have a paintbrush and say this side is right and this side is wrong.” “Texas Rising” opens in 1836 with the aftermath of the Alamo Mission battle, a critical Texas Revolution event in which Mexican troops wiped out their opponents known as Texians. The drama tracks a mix of real and fictional characters through the subsequent politics and equally savage battles that led to the creation of the Republic of Texas and ultimately the U.S. state. The deep-bench cast includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Brendan Fraser, Jeremy Davies, Ray Liotta, Rob Morrow, Thomas Jane and a turn by Kristofferson as Andrew Jackson. The male-dominated story’s key female role went to Cynthia Addai-Robinson as the real-life woman known as the Yellow Rose — although her

Houston’s most telling accessory was a ring, a gift from his mother, inscribed with the word “honor,” said Paxton, who chides himself on finding out belatedly that Houston wore it on his pinkie and not the ring finger as shown in the movie.

behind them in the distance you can see a cargo ship with containers falling into the ocean as it lists to the side. I wonder if they will be any more of those cargo ships with falling containers.

The gleeful destruction of all things urban California in “San Andreas” is actually quite exciting. Sure, collapsing computer-generated buildings have been a hallmark of past superhero movies, but they’re only leveling one large skyscraper — at most two — during their runtime. “San Andreas” levels all of the buildings. If it’s made of concrete and glass, you better believe it’s going down in the most spectacular way possible. It’s quite the destructive spectacle. So, while the action scenes of people running for their lives from hunks of manmade stones of death are very impressive, the rest of “San Andreas” isn’t as much. Referencing, and even languishing in, the tropes of bygone disaster movies doom the introspective character cut-scenes, and the various storyline outcomes, to perpetual formula. Whenever the movie is faced with the chance to either take the welltraveled road of cliché or do something slightly different, it always — always — chooses the former. It never even gives the other road a second thought. You’d think with a seasoned screenwriter like Carlton Cuse (“Lost”), “San Andreas” might throw in a few narrative novelties. Not so. It’s a straightforward mess of concrete carnage as the important players narrowly escape near-death experiences time and again in order to deliver stilted catch phrases, and realize what’s truly

‘San Andreas’ isn’t without its faults
Presenting Stained Glass Floral Joan Justis to exhibit her artwork at Fuhriman’s Framing and Fine Art From afar, Joan Justis’ oil paintings of outside floral arrangements might appear to be something typical. But take a closer look, and you realize it’s something outside the box. The way she creates shape and depth by overlapping warm and cool colors; creating a space in between each pedal of flowers makes the composition appear as if she’s using stained glass to create them. Hence the title of her newest collection of work “stained glass floral.” This work and others will be on display at Fuhriman’s Framing and Fine Art in downtown Logan during the month of June. An opening celebration will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 6. “I challenge myself in my paintings, and I decided I wanted to do more abstract images of florals, so I set rules for myself,” Justis said of stained glass florals in an interview from her home. “I’ve always been a realistic painter — many painters paint that way — and I wanted to create a new way that’s partic-
ular to my style. This is what I came up with.” Justis, who has long used her home studio to paint oil paintings of gardens and wild spaces, said she wants people who come to gallery in June to feel “the glory of living things, the spirit of the garden.” “I really work hard with color; color is so important to me,” she explained. “I work hard to find colors that work with each other and against each other; it will take a long time. I challenge myself with color and compositions; this time I’m challenging myself on style.” Lindsey Sleight, owner of Fuhriman’s Framing and Fine Art, said Justis’ works are a perfect addition to the gallery during the summer months, when there’s an increase in visitors and the Summer Citizens program is going on. “Her work is a fun take on summer that is a little bit different than just the regular landscape or floral, there’s more detail to it” she said. “This is a perfect time to show it in our gallery.” Justis, a Chicago native, has

Story by Kevin Opsahl Portrait by Eli Lucero been a picture maker and a teacher since childhood. She earned a bachelor of arts at Brigham Young University majoring in art and elementary education. As a mother of
seven she continued developing her talent with watercolor on the kitchen table. “My children are constantly telling me I’m showing them things (in nature) they
wouldn’t see otherwise,” Justis laughs of her now fullgrown children. “I was raised by my mother to notice these things.” Upon moving to Utah, she completed her master of fine art in 2001 at Utah State University, where she taught basic drawing for three years, but she’s a self-described lover of all forms of art. “I told (my professor at USU) I had to live to 102 to try all of the different mediums out there,” Justis said. After graduation she taught first grade at Sunrise Elementary School and brought many state arts programs to her school. Now she spends her days painting in a naturally lit home studio in the back of her home. “I always think of my paintings as windows to another place,” Justis said. “I want that place to be beautiful, inviting, uplifting and filled with the joie de vivre or the joy of life. So I use colors, texture, space and composition to create that place within the window frame. The painting is successful when I have been able to share what I feel.”

I was a vegetarian before being a vegetarian was cool and certainly before there was the sub-genre of vegan. I’ve spent most or my life as an endurance athlete and stayed under 200 pounds for all but two months of my life. Still, I just want to grab a pair of Hostess CupCakes out of the vending machine for lunch in protest to the fear-mongering cult of excessive labeling. Choice is a good thing up to a point. Too many choices can just make you freeze up and buy the cheapest thing on the shelf. I know everyone thinks they can discern a farm-fresh egg from a factory-farmpreserved egg, but I won’t bet the freerange mortgage on it.

I like local. I like the idea of helping out the people who share the same air and roads with me. However, I also like coffee, wine, pineapples, bananas and shiny new iThings. So I guess the next level of “local” is that I can buy these necessities of life from local stores rather than having them trucked in from Amazon.com. But those UPS truck drivers are local people, right? It’s complicated. I thought we were a country of individualistic narcissists, but really we are all about labels and false certainty. When I decide to splurge on a pepperoni and sausage pizza, the last thing on
my mind is to inquire if the crust is gluten- or GMO-free. If I occasionally want to eat yummy, yummy bad-for-me food, I don’t want to be reminded of the pitfalls of this decision. “Oh, well as long as it is gluten-free, go ahead and make it triple cheese,” I imagine people thinking. Gluten must be the new cholesterol since I have seen bananas labeled as both cholesterol and gluten-free. Though this is technically true in both instances, it is like labeling beer as a healthy vegetarian beverage. Maybe we should trick people and start labeling things as glutton-free and see if

Denice Turner is back in Cache Valley this week, and it’s clear that the author of “Worthy” is happy to be here. Although she is “a small-town girl” who grew up in Tremonton and has spent the past two years teaching in the education department at Black Hills State College in Spearfish, South Dakota, Turner earned two bachelor’s degrees at Utah State University (theater and English) and spent 12 years as a teacher at Mt. Logan Middle School. “Cache Valley always feels like home for me,” she says. “It’s just that kind of place that I always bounce back to.” Turner is in town to visit family and promote “Worthy,” her second book that was recently published by the University of Nevada Press. A licensed pilot who spent three years regularly flying to Reno to work on her Ph.D at the University of Nevada, Turner’s first book was “Writing

It’s me telling my story and my mother’s story simultaneously.” Turner’s mother, Helen Harper, died in a fire in Roy in 2007, and according to Turner the reason for the “weird house fire” has never been found. Afterwards, she says a note written by her mother stated: “I think I’m going to die because I said too much.” “It wasn’t that she was planning her own death, but she sensed that she was going to die and wrote it in this strange note,” Turner says. “And I’m like, Who said too much to whom? Where? What?” In a press release,

In the end, this is a memoir not just about loss, but about all of the fragile human bonds that are broken in the pursuit of perfection. “Wry and extraordinarily candid, ‘Worthy’ will appeal to readers interested in the dynamics of family heritage, Mormon doctrine, and the subtle corrosive Jeff Hunter/Herald Journal costs of shame.” Now a professor at Black Hills State University, former Turner said that durCache Valley resident Denice Turner wrote “Worthy.” ing her graduate studies, she studied “writing and “Worthy” is described as be worthy of her mother’s healing” and decided to “a memoir of loss and the love.

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. There is strong emotional content in the photographs that Slade has produced over the years during his travels worldwide, specifically a family history project in Sweden. His views
of Sweden in the exhibition include the “Church and Cemetery in Frosthult,” “Mill and Stream in Komstad” and “Old Fishing Boat in Ramma.” 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.

She is an artist that captures moments that would go unnoticed without her gift and determination. “As a life-long 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
“And the more I wrote about her, the more I was able to forgive her, and forgive me, quite frankly,” Turner states. “So, the whole process was therapy for myself; it was a selfish endeavor in that way. But I knew that if I really wanted to understand this, I’d have to go into all of those dark places, and there’s some pretty dark places in that book. “But while it’s kind of a dark story in places, I think the overall theme is really quite beautiful because I think I came to understand her in a way I would not have had I hadn’t done all of the research and looked at all of her journals and all of her writing and tried to trace the arc of her life.” ——— “Worthy” is available in paperback and Kindle form at Amazon.com.

NEW YORK (AP) — Music and dancing ruled on the airwaves last week, as “Dancing With the Stars” and “The Voice” tuned up to score five out of the 10 most-watched shows. ABC’s “Dancing” took the top two slots, followed by a pair of regular broadcasts of NBC’s “The Voice.” A third, special edition of “The Voice” ranked ninth. Adding to the chorus of unscripted fare, CBS’ “Survivor” took fifth place, according to the Nielsen ratings company.

At this point, it’s not nitpicking historians but viewer habits that are of concern. Greif said hours were spent perfecting each visual and sound element despite the likelihood that many people will watch the sweeping miniseries squeezed onto a laptop or smartphone. The purist in him wants it to be seen in a darkened room and on the biggest screen possible. “The truth is most people don’t watch TV that way, but I like to pretend they do,” he said.
