FROM THE EDITOR My father passed away Sunday night.

Like most fathers and sons, there are things about us that are very similar and areas in which diverged ... specifically when it came to entertainment. However, under the circumstances, it feels appropriate to concentrate on the areas in which my father influenced me for the better when it comes to music, television, movies and art: • I don’t think I’ve ever watched a John Wayne movie when I didn’t think about my Dad, and now I know I definitely won’t. There was pretty much nothing better in the world than after a successful day of fishing on the lake, gathering around the relatively tiny TV at our cabin after dinner and watching “The Sons of Katie Elder” for the hundredth time.

One of the last times I was alone with him for a length period of time, we

watched “McClintock” together. Although he had already seen the film numerous times before, due to his dementia, he basically thought he was seeing it for the first time and couldn’t have been happier.

• When staying at our cabin, it was a must that my Dad — in effort to get us out of bed and out on the lake just as the sun was coming up — break out a cowboy album and crank up the volume to an uncomfortable level. (Rarely is it the case where the child yells at the parent to turn his music down).

It wasn’t until I was on an LDS mission that I realized how much I missed that old cowboy music, particularly Marty Robbins’ classic “Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs.” Now I dare not drive across Montana or Wyoming without “Big Iron” and “El Paso” — or the underrated “The Master’s Calls” in my stereo.

• Growing up in a home without air conditioning, during the hottest months of the year, my parents would let me sleep in a roll-away bed in their huge, downstairs bedroom. Not only was it much

cooler down there, but each night, my Dad would watch the evening news at 10 p.m. on KSL, which was always followed by “M*A*S*H.” Then he’d usually fall asleep during a rerun of “The Streets of San Francisco.”

Because of that, I will always regard “M*A*S*H” as one of the greatest shows of all time, and just last fall, I downloaded the MP3 of the “Streets” theme song so I could listen to it while driving around San Francisco. (Unfortunately, I wasn’t driving a mammoth 1970s Ford LTD. And rather than getting big air and bottoming out, you can only drive about 10 mph in downtown San Francisco these days).

• One of the best trips I ever took with my father was to the Charlie Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, a place he had never been despite being a lifelong fan of Russell’s artwork. It was pretty much the only time I was able to take him to a new place that we could discover together, and will forever be a special memory.

YouTube sensation returns to Logan Stuart Edge comes home to sign copies of his ‘On the Edge’ Known as Stuart Edge to most of the world, the man whose diploma from Mountain Crest High School says “Stuart Edgington” on it returned to Cache Valley last week as both a YouTube star and a published author.

“I honestly credit Cache Valley a lot for me being the man I am today,” Edgington stated before signing copies of his new book, “On the Edge: How My Crappy Job Changed My Life,” at Deseret Book on Thursday night. “It’s relatively safe — at least when I grew up — and there’s good people here, and it’s full of talented people, as well.

“There’s so many talented people in music, in the arts and sports. A lot of inspiring people have roots here, and so just being able to grow up in Cache Valley was amazing. I could not think of growing up in a better place that would help prepare me for what I am doing today, and the stuff I want to continue to do in the future.”

Best known for the videos he’s been creating on YouTube since 2012 under the pseudonym, Stuart Edge, Edgington hopes to provide some inspiration himself with “On the Edge: How My Crappy Job Changed My Life.”

Originally approached by Cedar Fort Publishing about writing a book, he said it’s basically a biography that also provides some “behind the scenes” information about his unique life that has included an appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in 2013 and more than 25 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.

“Opening myself up about a lot of things was kind of interesting,” Edgington said. “I mean, nothing too crazy has come out of it. No one has been

like, ‘What? Holy cow! I had no idea.’

“I think it was just good for some people to just get a little bit more information about me, but not necessarily just about me because I tried to write the book so that people who didn’t know me could read it and be inspired.

“It is a book about my life, but it’s not just a book for my fans. I tried to write inspiring stories.”

A native of Logan who attended Hillcrest Elementary, Edgington’s parents divorced when he was in middle school, and his mother, Janiece Seegmiller, soon took he and his younger brothers, Steven and Spencer, on an adventure to Colonia Juarez,

Mexico, where she took a job teaching school. Stuart ended up graduating from Mountain Crest in 2007 after his family returned to Cache Valley, but he soon found himself back in Mexico serving an LDS mission.

Afterwards, like most returned missionaries, he had some big decisions to make, and as much as he loved Cache Valley, Edgington decided to move to Utah County to attend school at Utah Valley University.

“When I got back from my mission, I said, ‘OK, life is starting now. I’ve got to figure out what I want to do,’” Edgington recalled. “And the only reason I went to UVU is because my

mom told when I was on my mission that UVU’s ballroom dance team was on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’

“I took social dance classes in high school, and so I thought maybe would be cool to try out. So, that was maybe the first thing that sparked the first move.”

When he first moved to Utah County, Edgington was offered a job cleaning porta-potties — “Something I didn’t want to do for two reasons: No. 1 and No. 2,” he said with a chuckle — but that experience helped direct him on his current career path. Documented in the See LOGAN on Page 10

all mixed up Cloward featured at gallery

“The Walk” by Jason Cloward

A new artist will be featured at the Logan Fine Art Gallery during the next CVCA Gallery Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 10.

Jacob Cloward from Salt Lake City is innovative, iconic in his style and his paintings are large and impressive.

“I found myself gravitating towards Western-style art,” Cloward says. “The genre fascinates me. I’ve always been keen

on Western movies and the history of the American West; one of the great cultural time periods of America. There are many stories still to be told about the rugged people that discovered and established this country. I find myself drawn towards those ideals, and the striking images that have been created in all forms of art.”

Cloward spent much of his life sharpening his craft as a visual

storyteller. He takes inspiration from art in all forms, but he has most recently gravitated toward urban art, comic books and abstract expressionism. His years of experience in both digital and physical image creation have helped him develop a cross-medium technique for producing his paintings.

The gallery is located at 60 W. 100 North. Visit loganfineart gallery.com for more information.

est Southern songwriters for four decades.

Known for anecdotal songs that defy easy categorization, Taylor has released seven solo albums and influenced such well-known artists as Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett (both of whom have covered several of his songs) and Steve Earle.

He was recently nominated for an Emmy award in musical composition for his work on a Storyworks television documentary “Road Kid to Writer: The Tracks of Jim

Tully.”

Taylor has appeared on “Austin City Limits,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “Mountain Stage” and BBC Radio.

According to Lovett, “I’m always the opening act when I’m around Eric. I love his voice, and he has a great narrative quality and sense of detail. He sort of takes you out of your own reality and into the reality of his songs. It’s good writing no matter how you cut it.”

Lyric Rep set to hit stage Utah State company to present four shows Utah State University’s Lyric Repertory Company — the Lyric Rep — brings audiences music, mystery, love and laughter in the summer 2016 season.

“The Caine Lyric Theatre has been an integral part of the community for more than 45 years,” said Richie Call, co-artistic director of the Lyric Rep. “We have a cast of amazing actors from all over the country.”

And, Call notes, a number of long-time audience favorites return this summer. The company offers four shows that, when all have opened, play in repertory.

Opening this year’s season is “Arsenic and Old Lace,” a comedy

by Joseph Kesselring.

This Lyric Rep favorite includes some of the most beloved characters of all time. Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal fam-

Richie Sheng concert

In preparation for a big event in Salt Lake City, Richie Sheng will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, in the USU Performance Hall. Admission is free, and anyone interested in piano is invited to come.

The 12-year-old is preparing for the International Junior Gina Bachauer to be held in Salt Lake City the week beginning June 13. This event includes people from all over the world. Sheng, who is instructed by USU’s Gary Amano, is a semifinalist.

The son of Lieyi Sheng and Wei Pan of Pocatello, Idaho, is one of 26 pianists from all over the world that will be playing at the event.

Amano wants to get him ready by having a recital in front of a crowd.

“Richie is absolutely one of the most promising students that I’ve had,” Amano said. “He is absolutely incredible. He is playing the entire Goldberg variations of Bach at this competition. The only students I’ve had do that are college students. He is playing repertoire that college students do and very few of them. At age 12, he really stands out. ...

Richie just loves to perform.”

The USU professor said Sheng is doing things unheard of for someone his age.

NYC bound: Chang prepar Logan High School graduate set to perform at legendary venue Story by Shawn Harrison • Photo by Eli Lucero

P

laying on a big stage in front of a large audience is nothing new for Trenton Chang.

The recent Logan High School graduate has been wowing music enthusiasts for more than a decade with his talented piano playing. Later this month he will perform a concert series in New York City in various historic locations, including a Carnegie Hall recital for the celebratory 125th anniversary season.

“I’ve gone to Carnegie Hall once before and it was pretty cool,” Chang said.

The only child of Tom Chang and Hsiu-Hsiang Liu performed Tuesday night at the Utah State Performance Hall to help raise money for his trip.

“I have received a large scholarship for my performance, and my parents can cover the travel expenses, but I still need to raise $2,600 to account for the remaining performance costs,” Chang said.

The 18-year-old performed three pieces on Tuesday that added up to about 50 minutes of playing time. He has spent several months going through pieces in getting ready for his performances in New York City. He will be performing the entirety of Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto.

“That is an amazing piece,” Chang said. “It is staple at concert halls all across the world.

I’ve really enjoyed learning it.”

He will also perform Chopin Ballade in G Minor, plus a few smaller works that will be “thrown into the mix.”

Several things draw Chang to a piece.

“If I like playing it, like how it sounds, good conception of it, then I like it,” Chang said.

“When you are playing it, you’ve got to have good conception of it. You’ve got to be able to think and imagine where you are going with it. If you can build a clear picture in your head about what this piece is about, what you want to do, then you are engaged enough enjoy it.”

Does he create his own music?

“When I was very little I did some piano compositions, if you can call them that,” Chang said with a laugh. “Now I make electronic music with my laptop.

It’s really fun. There is a whole technical aspect. It’s interesting to find new pathways and challenges to explore in music.”

Chang is a two-time recipient of the Chopin Foundation of the U.S. Scholarship and a threetime Utah Symphony Salute to Youth soloist. He has performed around the Salt Lake City area as well as Cache Valley. He is a regular during the summer at the Noon Music Series at the Logan Tabernacle.

“Trenton is one of the few students who have performed with

Logan High School gradiuate Trenton Chang plays the piano as h

the Utah Symphony three times,” said USU music professor Gary Amano, who teaches Chang now.

“They don’t let them do more than three, and a very select group of students win that privilege to play

three times, and Trenton is one of them.”

In a press release, Julie Jordan — the Artistic Director/Founder New York Concerti Sinfonietta — welcomed Chang to join a talented

lineup in New York.

“It is my passion to present gifted international music students and young artists in their debut with the coveted concerto performance opportunity with

our extraordinary New York Concerti Sinfonietta with memorable Carnegie Hall debuts which can enrich and support your young career,” Jordan said. “I was most taken with your audition in Salt

Lake City as well as your most impressive resume full of your musical as well as academic and extra-curricular accomplishments and honors. Bravo on all of your achievements as you have participated and contributed so much already in your young life. I feel privileged to welcome you to our 2016 International Shining Stars roster and will follow up with you to support you ongoing with continued performance opportunities both here and abroad in the years to come.”

Chang, who was born in Minneapolis, moved with his parents to Logan at a young age and began playing the piano at 5.

He has been with Amano for the past 10 years.

“He is a wonderful teacher and he has allowed me to become the pianist that I am today,” Chang said of Amano.

How did he get started so young?

“I don’t exactly remember, but from what my parents tell me, we had this electronic keyboard at home, not a real piano,” Chang explained. “Apparently I started playing really small things by ear. My parents decided to hook me up with some local teachers and eventually, I got here (USU).”

“I remember this little, little kid that came for the youth conservatory,” Amano said. “We have the monster concert and I just noticed this little kid playing better than all the older kids.

I asked, ‘who is that kid?’ Every year he would come back and outplay all of the older people. “... He stood out from the very beginning. He is one of the most

unusual students I’ve had. He’s extremely musical. ... Trenton always had great musicality and all the skills. He is a great reader and memorizes very solidly. He performs with the same standard.

He really has just been an outstanding student.”

Amano credited Chang’s first teachers for getting him started, but when one moved, Amano invited him to come to USU Chang tries to play every day, but was busy with many other endeavors while in high school.

On the weekends, he would practice up to five hours. In high school, he was on the debate team for four years — the president this past year — the editor of the school newspaper and was involved in the business and health career club to name a few.

This fall he will attend Stanford University. He chose the school over a conservatory because he has so many interests and a degree from Stanford will “open a lot more doors.”

So, what does he see himself doing in the future?

“That’s a big question,” Chang said. “I’ve narrowed it down to about a 1,000 different things.

Only a 1,000, it’s an improvement. I do want to keep music in there. If I don’t become a performer, I still want to be able to interact with people in the music scene.”

——— For those that missed the performance earlier this week and want to help Chang with his fundraiser, there are several options to do that. A check can be sent to the Utah State University Youth Conservatory and designated for Trenton Chang. Also, there is a Gofundme page. The link is: gofund. me/2648f8v8.

‘Alice’ bombs; ‘X-Men’ on top with $65M NEW YORK (AP) — Johnny Depp’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” bombed over the Memorial Day weekend with just $28.1 million through Sunday in North American theaters, while “X-Men: Apocalypse” debuted on top with an estimated $65 million.

The anticipated showdown of the two big-budget films turned out to be little contest for 20th Century Fox’s latest “X-Men” installment.

Both films were lambasted by critics, and neither drew the audience many

expected over the holiday weekend.

Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” had more than bad reviews to deal with. On Friday, as the film was hitting theaters, Amber Heard, Depp’s wife, was granted a restraining order after alleging the actor previously assaulted her. She appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday with a bruise on her right cheek.

Some fans called for a boycott of “Alice Through the Looking Glass.”

Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, said it was

difficult to quantify how much the fortunes of Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” turned Friday afternoon when news of Heard’s allegations spread.

“I think the reviews had more to do with the film’s performance than any personal drama for Depp,” Dergarabedian said.

Before Heard’s court appearance on Friday, Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” sequel had been expected to

Fun and games rule the ratings NEW YORK (AP) — The calendar may not say summer yet, but the fun and games dominant onscreen mean the season has already begun for television networks.

Competition shows or sporting events accounted for 14 of the 20 most-watched programs last week, the Nielsen company said. This is programming most likely to be watched live, giving them the advantage over scripted programming that is often watched on a time-delayed basis.

Three telecasts of “The Voice” on NBC landed in the top 20, along with three prime-time editions of “The Price is Right” on CBS featuring the casts of CBS programs.

The NBA’s Western Conference finals between Golden State and Oklahoma City was clearly the audience’s choice over the Cleveland-Toronto series in the East. Game seven of the Warriors-Thunder series on Memorial Day proved to be the most-watched program in the TNT network’s 28-year history.

NBC won the week in prime time, averaging 5.1 million viewers, and also

won among the 18-to49-year-old demographic advertisers seek. CBS averaged 4.84 million viewers, ABC had 4.75 million, Fox had 3.2 million, Univision had 1.8 million, the CW had 1.5 million, Telemundo had 1.3 million and ION Television had 1.2 million.

TNT was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 3.29 million viewers in prime time.

For the week of May 23-29, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “Dancing With the Stars” (Monday), ABC, 12.34 million; NBA Playoffs: Golden State at Oklahoma City, Game Six, TNT, 10.81 million; “The Voice” (Tuesday, 9 p.m.), NBC, 10.59 million; “Dancing With the Stars” (Tuesday), ABC, 10.49 million; “The Voice” (Monday), NBC, 10.26 million; NBA Playoffs: Oklahoma City at Golden State, Game Five, TNT, 10 million; NBA Playoffs: Golden State at Oklahoma City, Game Four, TNT, 8.63 million; “The Voice” (Tuesday, 8 p.m.), NBC, 7.61 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 7.29 million; “Law & Order: SVU,” NBC, 7.19 million.

out gaining steam for a bigger payoff in the end.

Perhaps the biggest difference between “Popstar” and “Spinal Tap” is that the strained friendships in “Popstar” never feel like the crux of the comedy. They feel secondary, placed there to add the requisite emotional element that all R-rated comedies are required to have these days.

It’s the most unsatisfying aspect of the whole movie, even though it’s supposed to be what drives the story.

The trick is to listen closely to the lyrics of the songs Samberg performs and what they say about the music industry as a whole. A few songs are simply lists of words strung together to a beat, which is essentially what the movie is. A list of threaded scenes connected by only the thinnest of plots and more than a few laughs.

‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’

**NO DISCOUNT TICKETS OR PASSES ACCEPTED *TIME ChANgE

Page 9 -

While “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” might aspire to be the “Spinal Tap” of the millennial generation, it’s more like a musical version of Andy Samberg’s other recent mockumentary, “7 Days in Hell.”

“Popstar” lacks the subtle dry wit that made “Spinal Tap” such a classic. It’s more of a blunt comedic instrument rather than the surgical hilarity Christopher Guest put on screen.

That’s not to say “Popstar” isn’t funny. It is, but like any episode of “SNL,” some of the bits land and others fall short.

The narrative follows closely along the lines of “Spinal Tap.” Musicians dealing with loss of fame, solo acts destroying friendships, terrible marketing decisions, backstage phoniness. It’s all here.

Connor4Real (Samberg), aka Kid Connor, has struck out on his own. Once part of the Style Boyz, Connor now commands millions in revenue due to his hit solo songs. He’s surrounded himself with yes men and a stunning array of personal assistants.

“He has 32 people on his personal payroll,” boasts his manager (Tim Meadows). He’s at the top of his game.

That is, until he brings out an ironically offensive song about equal rights. He hits rock bottom. His album isn’t selling, and he’s forced to go on tour with a fellow rapper just to sell tickets.

The real cleverness of the movie exists within the lyrics of Samberg’s

“My life definitely moves quick,” he admitted. “But I try and slow it down as much as I can sometimes because I don’t want it to get too out of control.”

Edgington helped pay for his mother to finish up her Ph.D at Utah State University, but also had her serve

“Stuart likes to see people earn the things they receive,” noted Seegmiller, who currently teachers math at Mount Logan Middle School. “He doesn’t give anything away for free. But, I always tell him, ‘Remember how you changed those fivedollar bills into 20s in that one video? Why don’t you try that trick again?’”

Edgington clearly inherited some of his mischievous nature from his mother, who admitted, “I think my boys were embarrassed by some of the things I did.

“It’s exciting,” Seegmiller said of her oldest son’s unusual life.

Continued from Page 8 open above $60 million. Disney estimates that the film, which cost $170 million to produce, will gross $35.6 million over the fourday weekend.

It’s a staggering fall for a sequel that returned Depp — one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, albeit with a recently checkered box-office history — as the Mad Hatter. “Alice in Wonderland,” featuring then-novel 3-D, made more than $1 billion worldwide in 2010 after opening with $116 million domestically.

“It’s a disappointing result,” said Dave Hollis, distribution chief for Disney. “We have embarked on a branded tent-pole strategy that makes big bets. But when you make big bets, there are times when you have results that are disappointing.”

Hollis declined to speculate on the impact the allegations against Depp had on the film’s opening.

It’s a rare blip for Disney, which is already crossing $4 billion in ticket sales in 2016 — a record pace buoyed by hits like “Zootopia,” ‘’The Jungle Book” and

“Captain America: Civil War.” The flop of “Alice” made “X-Men: Apocalypse” look comparatively steady. But the seventh “X-Men” installment opened well below the $90.8 million debut of 2014’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past” or the $132.4 million bow of February’s “X-Men” spinoff “Deadpool.”

Still, the film, made for $178 million, has already made $185.8 million internationally. Fox had looked to keep expectations in check for the film, directed by Bryan Singer. It stars “X-Men” regulars Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and others, but it introduces a number of newcomers, including Oscar Isaac, Tye Sheridan and Olivia Munn.

Chris Aronson, distribution head for Fox, called it not a reboot but “a readjustment” to pave the way for future installments featuring the new performers.

“I’m very pleased,” Aronson said. “It’s right on track with what our expectations were going in.”

The video-game adaptation “The Angry Birds Movie” grossed $18.7 million in its second weekend, good enough for third place. “Captain America: Civil War” followed with $15.1 million in its fourth weekend.

—Some stores take you right to the water, but don’t quite lead you in. At Small World Books, on the Venice boardwalk in California, store owner Mary Goodfader says that customers are as likely to be poets as beachgoers. The current top seller is a classic indoor read, Don DeLillo’s chilly “Zero K.” “We don’t really have anything designated beach reads,” she says. “People don’t come in for that. They get their ‘Moby Dick’ or Charles Dickens instead. Not since “Fifty Shades of Grey” did we have a summer beach read.”
