We just had Memorial Day. And now Flag Day and the Fourth of July are on the near horizon. That pretty much makes this the most patriotic time of the year. But stuck in between those red-whiteand-blue holidays is today’s date: June 6. Inasmuch as this year marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day, there’s likely to be more attention than usual paid to the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. But to me, it’s seemingly always been a significant date. From the time I was a kid, I can remember making note of it. However, the significance of June 6 really hit home for me in the late ’90s when I read Stephen Ambrose’s excellent book, “D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World
War II,” and saw “Saving Private Ryan.” I can still remember sitting in a movie theater in Casper, Wyoming, absolutely transfixed by Steven Spielberg’s World War II classic. I’m not sure I took a breath during the first 15 minutes, which depicted the experience of Tom Hanks’ character, Capt. John Miller, as he came ashore at Omaha Beach. That scene undoubtably changed the way combat is now being depicted in the movies. Certainly no film can adequately depict the brutality of war, but there is a definitely a new emphasis on realism that helps us understand a little bit better what our veterans have gone through. After “Ryan,” Spielberg and Hanks went on to make Ambrose’s “Band of Brothers” into an award-winning miniseries, then collaborated again on “The Pacific.” The duo is now taking to the air with “The Mighty Eighth,” another World War II production which chronicle the efforts of the
Eighth Air Force in the skies over Europe. I happened to come across a trailer for the upcoming series on YouTube shortly after having an opportunity to fly on a B-17 Flying Fortress on Memorial Day. That B-17, which was already used in the film, “Memphis Belle,” will also be featured in the “The Mighty Eighth.” The pilot who flew me out of West Jordan has also given rides to the screenwriter, as well as Donald Miller, the author of “Masters of the Air,” the book the series is based on. Like the opening scene in “Saving Private Ryan,” the three-minute-teaser for “The Mighty Eighth” is intense and downright brutal in its depiction of combat in World War II. And it only makes me even more grateful on this June 6 that so many men were brave enough to face the horrors of war in real life on one of the most pivotal days in our nation’s history.

Josh & Gary chase dreams Local duo determined to make it in music
– Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, on ‘Maleficent’ star Angelina Jolie (Page 6)
By Mariah Noble staff writer
Though many dream of making it big in the music industry, there are few who actually take action to back that dream up. But the two members of local group Josh & Gary say they are the latter. “There’s the people who say it, and there’s the people who do it, and I think we’re the people who do it,” says Gary Bennet, who sings, raps and helps write songs for the group. Bennet says he and Josh Baxter, the other member who sings, plays guitar, writes and mixes the tracks, became friends about a year after graduating from high school and got serious about making music a little over a year ago. The two, now ages 21 and 20 respectively, teamed up with Baxter’s father to build a studio in a barn behind Baxter’s parents’ house, where they’ve been producing their own music ever since. “We support everything (Josh) has done,” Travis Baxter says. “He’s done gymnastics, soccer, baseball. We wanted him to get an opportunity to try everything and find out what he loved. He was a pretty good soccer player,

too, but as soon as he got a guitar, he changed. You could just tell. That was his passion.” Josh’s mother, Molly Baxter, says she has been impressed with both young men and how motivated they’ve been. “I think it’s made (Josh) grow as a person and made him more aware of the world,” she says. “I just think he has grown up. Music has made him grow up. It’s changed him.” Bennet and Josh Baxter say they’ve been inspired and motivated by several musical groups, as well as experiences in their lives. “I used to be really reli-
gious when I was younger,” Bennet says. “None of my family members were religious at all. I just kind of decided to do it by myself. … I had a bunch of experiences where I didn’t really think it was for me as much, and I was going to go on a mission feeling like I was forced to, and I think when I decided to not do what everyone else was telling me to do, just be myself, I think that’s what brought this out.” He also says he’s had good friends who have helped get him to this point. Josh Baxter says music has always been the “driving force” behind what
he’s done in life. He says he and Bennet have been influenced by other artists in every genre, from country to hip-hop to punk rock. He says religion-wise, he had experiences similar to Bennet’s. “As much as I don’t really like religion — I don’t bash on it; I just personally don’t like it — as much as I don’t like it, it’s had a lot to do with the way I am today,” Baxter says. Baxter says his biggest goal is to be able to make a living off the music he produces so he can do it fulltime. That idea is his biggest See CHASE on Page 13
Pet: Abby From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: Spunky, tough little Abby started out life with pretty hard circumstances. She and her Siamese mix brother, Alex, were born to a feral mother along with six other kittens in an outbuilding on a farm. During very cold weather in December they became very ill with a respiratory infection. A Four Paws volunteer became aware of their illness and volunteered to take them home to nurse them back to health. They are both now healthy, playful and full of energy. They are both tough and can sometimes be cautious, but are loving when they feel safe. Indoor only. Adoption fee is $60.

“It’s a unique thing,” said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. “Her star power transcends borders and genre.” Seth MacFarlane’s Western comedy “A Million Ways to Die in the West” was out-gunned by “Maleficent.” The R-rated Universal release opened in third place with a tepid $17.1 million despite a starry cast of Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron and Amanda Seyfried. By contrast, MacFarlane’s “Ted” (for which he’s making a sequel) opened with $54.4 million in 2012. Last weekend’s top film, Fox’s mutant sequel “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” dropped to second with $32.6 million. It’s a somewhat steep decline for “Days of Future Past,” but the film made $95.6 million internationally in its second week, good enough to push its global cumulative total past $500 million already.

Let’s start with the obvious. For its core audience, “The Fault in Our Stars” is essentially criticproof. If you’re a fan of the wildly popular young-adult book by John Green, and have already shed tears at its story of teenage cancer patients learning about life, love and sex as they fight to stay alive, then you’ll be a fan of this movie.

Both author and fans have pronounced the movie, directed by Josh Boone, extremely faithful to the novel,
NEW YORK (AP) — The biggest box-office debut of Angelina Jolie’s career propelled Disney’s twisted fairy tale “Maleficent” to a scary-good $70 million opening. The PG-rated fantasy beat forecasts to easily top all films over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Though “Maleficent” was early on considered a risky endeavor for Disney that might turn away family audiences by retelling “Sleeping Beauty” from the villain’s perspective, the film emerged as a hit largely because of the draw of Jolie. Star power has been increasingly elusive in modern Hollywood, where name-brand concepts often rule the box-office. But Jolie, in her first liveaction starring role in years, drove interest for “Maleficent” despite lackluster reviews from critics.

The summer movie slate is packed to the rafters with superheroes. Most are consummate good guys. While many of them have a couple character faults, they’re ready to fight for the greater good without hesitation. There are many things to love about the alieninvasion-war-epic-timetravel movie “Edge of Tomorrow,” but the most endearing aspect is that the central hero is a coward. He doesn’t want to save the world. He’d rather hide hoping someone else picks up the slack. It’s a refreshing departure from the gungho heroes we’re used to seeing; heroes that seem to only exist for the sole purpose of saving the world from world-conquering villains, forces and invasions. There’s a scene, a few minutes into “Edge of Tomorrow,” where Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is discussing the war effort with a particular no-nonsense general played by Brendan Gleeson. Cage is a PR talking head for the Army. A man brought in to sell the military

Cage, thrust into battle unprepared and unwilling, is killed within minutes. He then awakes at the same moment, at the beginning of the same day, with a memory of what has already happened to him. What makes “Edge of Tomorrow” so downright enjoyable as a heady sci-fi thriller is its taut screenplay penned by Christopher McQuarrie. Based off of the novel “All You Need is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the screenplay is a darkly

Larson also gave away the food she made on Tuesday. “Our recipes come from our readers and they’ve been tested, so I can trust they’re going to work,” Larson said. “I love to travel, meet Taste of Home fans everywhere I go, and it’s just a lot of fun to get up there and share my love of food and ways to make things faster and easier for people.” For this year’s show, Logan High’s auditorium was transformed into a kitchen. Larson showed attendees how to get started with many of the meals, mixing ingredi-
ents for sauces, layering pasta and handling meat. Attendees were able to watch Larson through three video monitors. In between recipes, Taste of Home video segments were shown offering bits of trivia, such as “How much milk does it take to make a pound of cheese?” and “What is the only walnut that is commercially produced?” The answer: 10 pounds and English, respectively. Larson said the central focus of the show is to equip families, food enthusiasts and amateurs with easyto-make recipes. “We want people to go home feeling like they can be successful in the kitchen,” she said. “If I can get people excited about even one recipe, my job is done. We just want people to have an entertaining and educational evening at the same time.” Larson said the recipes are especially good for people who don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing a meal. “I know they’re short on time, and they don’t want to spend six hours in the kitchen getting dinner ready. So, at Taste of Home we’re all about recipes people have been cooking for years at home that are easy for them and their families to make,” Larson explained. That’s not to say that all of them are easy; some are “a bit more involved.” “But I show you how to make it at home so you’re not intimidated by it,” Larson said. “Maybe you
can think of other ways to use that idea in that recipe that they have at home.” What’s great about Taste of Home Cooking Show, Larson added, is that she sees all different levels of cooks at the show. “I think some people are just not quite sure where to get started, and then some people have cooking for 30, 40 or 50 years and are maybe just there for new ideas,” she said. One trend Larson said she is seeing is that people are taking an increased interest in cooking and supplies. “I think people are curious about what is going into their food, and the best way to know that is to cook it yourself from scratch,” Larson said. “A big thing right now is to make things that are better for their families and less expensive, and so a lot of times, cooking can do that for you.” Another trend the culinary specialist sees is that people are becoming less intimidated by cooking themselves. “I think it’s OK to experiment when your cooking. Usually when I take a recipe, I’ll follow it step-bystep the first time; I’ll make it and then the next time I’ll think, I’ll add a little bit more — you know, I’ll change it a little bit more to my personal taste,” Larson said. “I think sometimes people are afraid to step away from the written recipe. That’s what I like to share at the show — it’s OK to try something different.”

Logan Fine Art Gallery to host ‘We Three’ Logan Fine Art Gallery unveil its newest exhibit, “We Three,” during the CVCA Gallery Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 13. The Utah Watercolor Society Miniature show will also be held the same evening. “We Three” will feature the artwork of longtime artists and friends, Dilllen (Humphries) Marsh, “Matched Pair” by Barbara Edwards Roxanne (Mitchell) Pfister
Princess Festival set for June 10-14 The idea of bringing young people together to empower them with good, easy-to-learn values while entertaining them with fantasy characters of a fairy tale world was the dream of community leader and businessman Ron Hatfield. A father and grandfather of 36 girls, Hatfield and his family felt inspired to create a storytelling experience to combine fun and simple lessons so that each girl can feel special and learn to become a true princess. In 2008, Ron and his wife opened
their home and estate to almost 400 little girls and their families marking the first Princess Festival. After finding a home in Utah Valley the past six years, the Princess Festival is heading out to different locations in Utah and California this summer and will be coming to the Cache County Fairgrounds June 10-14. Tickets for the Princess Festival and the Daddy Daugther Ball are now available online at princessfestival.com. Call (801) 830-0911 for more information.
and Barbara (Summers) Edwards. The exhibit will be on display from June 13 to July 5 at Logan Fine Art Gallery, 60 W. 100 North. The “We Three” artists first began to cement their friendship in eighth grade while attending middle school in 1966 in Ucon, Idaho. Under the guidance of their art teacher, Bob Whitney, the trio took the first steps together on an art
trek that has spanned five decades. In high school, Marsh, Pfister and Edwards were three of the five founding members of Bonneville High School’s Art Society. After high school, the three friends eventually all ended up together at Utah State University and begin to paint in acrylics and oils under the tutelage of Glen Edwards and Jon Anderson.
Years, marriage and children later, “We Three” still get together for an almost annual “retreat.” “Our first retreat was in 1988; we went to the Teton mountain range to paint,” Marsh says. “Since then we have retreated about 20 times, and now Logan Fine Art Gallery has extended an invitation to ‘We Three’ to exhibit together as a threewoman show.”

Books Koryta’s latest is thrilling adventure story Oline H. Cogdill Associated Press
Michael Koryta’s latest novel skillfully melds a thrilling adventure story set against the Montana wilderness with a poignant coming-of-age story. “Those Who Wish Me Dead” moves at a brisk pace as Koryta weaves in themes of redemption, survival and grief to illustrate how ethical choices can reverberate. Teen Jace Wilson is spending the afternoon jumping in the pool of an abandoned quarry near his Indiana home when he dives next to a dead body. Jace then witnesses two men in police uniforms dragging a man to the quarry and killing him. Jace escapes, but leaves
behind his identification and clothes, which the men find. To keep him safe, former U.S. marshal turned security expert Jamie Bennett places Jace in a Montana wilderness training program for troubled teens run by survival expert Ethan Serbin. To protect Jace, Ethan won’t know which of the seven boys he is.

Blogger Jim Beviglia tallies Springsteen’s Top 100 By Joe Mandak Associated Press
Music blogger Jim Beviglia is trying to do far more than start arguments with his latest book, “Counting Down Bruce Springsteen: His 100 Finest Songs.” He ranks Springsteen’s officially released studio recordings song by song from No. 100, “The E Street Shuffle,” to the predictably No. 1, “Born to Run.” “Sometimes the obvious choice is obvious for a reason,” Beviglia argues in support of his
cliched top pick. Overall, six cuts from the eight-song “Born to Run” album made Beviglia’s list, all ranked No. 19 or better. Still, Beviglia’s choices are hardly predictable. Fan faves like “She’s the One,” ‘’Ramrod” and “Something in the Night” are missing, while “Cautious Man,” ‘’Zero and Blind Terry” — and even “Outlaw Pete” — made the list. “He’s become so revered for his live music, and rightfully so,” Beviglia told The Associated Press. “But I don’t want people to
lose sight of those original recordings, and he’s really meticulous about how these records are supposed to sound. He’s an amazing
record maker, and I hope (the book) sends people back to those original recordings.” Beviglia reviewed every studio-recorded song Springsteen has “officially” released, the lone exception being “American Skin (41 Shots),” which debuted on a live album chronicling the tour when it was written. Some ranked songs come from after-thefact compilations like the 66-song “Tracks” box set or “The Promise.” Both include songs left off original
albums, which nonetheless became known to fans through bootlegs or word-of-mouth from live performances. Only a few artists record enough songs to even make the “100 Finest” treatment worthwhile. Beviglia’s first book ranked Bob Dylan’s Top 100. Next up: The Rolling Stones. For some perspective, The Eagles, one of the largest-selling bands in the world, have released barely more than 80 studio-recorded songs. Springsteen is unusually prolific, one reason
why his devotees track concert set lists like degenerate gamblers poring over horse racing forms. Fan website Backstreets.com notes that Springsteen played 182 different songs at 34 concerts this year alone. And before streamlining his songwriting and recording on more recent releases, Springsteen commonly recorded more than 60 songs for some albums, before choosing the 10 or 12 that would make the final cut.

‘Charlie Brown’ heads for Old Barn Theatre “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” is opening on Friday, June 6, at The Old Barn Community Theatre in Collinston. Directed by Audrey Mason and Becka Shultz, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown!” is an entertaining musical comedy based on Charles Schultz’s famous comic strip “Peanuts.” The show depicts an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. A day made up of little moments, from Valentine’s

It’s hard to believe it’s only been two years and change since Woodley’s breakout performance in “The Descendants.” Don’t you feel like you’ve known her much longer? Perhaps it’s because she’s established herself so firmly as one of our most interesting and yet also most grounded, honest young actors.

It starts with Pseudolus, a crafty slave trying to earn his freedom by helping his young master, Hero, with the hand of the beautiful but slow-witted courtesan, Philia. However, Philia is promised to another — the great Roman solider Captain Miles Gloriosus. Directed by Vanessa Ballam and the kickoff production to the Lyric Rep’s 2014 season, “Forum” is a light, witty, fast-paced musical that takes comedy back to its roots. “Forum” combines situations and comedy from the Roman playwright Plautus with the energy and
fast-pace of classic slapstick vaudeville. “Forum is a surprisingly complicated show, and I love a challenge,” Ballam says. “It’s great for the actors to flex their vaudevillian muscles and all while singing Sondheim’s lyrics and melodies. I’m working the cast very hard, this won’t be your traditional ‘Forum’ in every sense, we have some tricks up our sleeves.” In addition to “Forum,” the 2014 season of Lyric Rep will include “Tons of Money,” “The Musical of Musicals, The Musical” and “The Elephant Man.”
onscreen. That’s particularly crucial in the role of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old with an easy wit — intelligent, wry and pragmatic without being overly cynical. Hazel barely survived thyroid cancer as a preteen; a flashback shows the agonizing moment when her mother (a touching Laura Dern, in a difficult part) told her it was OK to “let go.” But Hazel didn’t, and now, buoyed by an experimental drug, she’s already taking college classes. She wears nasal tubes, which carry oxygen from the portable tank she carries with her always. Urged by her doting parents to try a cancer support group, she

reluctantly attends, and there meets Gus — better known to readers as Augustus Waters (the appealing newcomer Ansel Elgort), along with his sidekick, Isaac (Nat Wolff). Gus is handsome — very handsome — and somewhat cocky, though clearly this is a fighting mechanism. Gus has lost a leg to cancer, but he’s apparently in remission, and determined to live — not just any life, but an extraordinary one. But what defines an extraordinary life? The movie explores this theme as it follows Hazel and Gus to Amsterdam. Their goal: to meet Hazel’s favorite author, Peter Van Houten (a suitably crusty Willem Dafoe), and ask
questions about his novel, “An Imperial Affliction” — a book with which Hazel is obsessed. The trip is by turns disappointing, inspiring, joyful, and tragic. A crucial love scene is beautifully handled, with nary a false note. It’s unfortunate that an earlier moment, involving a trip to Anne Frank’s house, feels uncomfortable — cheesy, and, in its juxtapositions, somewhat tone-deaf. It’s important to note that the scene — and the rationale behind it — is conveyed far more successfully in the book. But that’s a fairly rare misstep. And now we must inform you, dear moviegoer: About three-quarters of the way through, if not sooner, you’ll

And it’s hard to imagine you too won’t succumb, even a little. And that’s because of Woodley. “The world is not a wishgranting factory,” Gus says. No, but in finding a young actress who can make an audience fall apart while her character somehow remains fairly together herself, the filmmakers certainly saw their own wish granted. ——— “The Fault in Our Stars,” a 20th Century Fox Film Corp. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language.”
Hatch show set for June 14 In their first performance at the ThatcherYoung Mansion since last January’s Winterfest, the Hatch family returns with a single Summerfest show at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 14, at 35 W. 100 South. This year’s Summerfest performance will feature the debut of a new illusion for the ensemble, the famous “See Thru Guillotine” illusion created by William Schmeelk based on an idea of Alan Wakeling. “I have two historic posters in my collection that feature intriguing accounts of what one might characterize as apparent audience mutilation,” magician Richard Hatch says. “One, from Hartford, Connecticut, in 1855 boldly proclaims that it will ‘conclude with the celebrated nose amputation, large noses preferred.’ The other, circa 1880, says that it will conclude
with the ‘Egyptian vivisection in which the professor cuts a living man to pieces in the presence of the audience.’ The latter likely involved a trained assistant, rather than an audience member, but the Guillotine illusion that we will present on June 14 will show a solid steel blade penetrating the neck of brave audience member. Since Sunday is Father’s Day, we are hoping one of the fathers in attendance will stick his neck out for this amazing illusion.” The 70-minute program will also feature music by Bach, Kreisler and Saint-Saens and magic by Punx, Vernon and Robert-Houdin, among others. Tickets to the performance are just $10 and may be reserved by calling (435) 932-0017 or purchased online at hatchacademy.com.

Somehow “Edge of Tomorrow” energetically packs together a disparate collection of narrative elements into a cohesive, engaging whole.
