CALENDAR 15 See what’s happening in Cache Valley

’ve been feeling like a bit of a basket case lately. On Monday, I sat in the parking lot of Wal-Mart crying for a variety of reasons, none of which should have been as big of a deal as I made them. I knew this even then, but somehow couldn’t stop the tears and boogers from taking over my face. I couldn’t go home because I’d come to Wal-Mart for a reason, but I couldn’t enter the store either knowing my eyes were all red, puffy and leaking. We all have those moments, right? Where we are just a little too upset for the situation? Where something catches us off guard and suddenly we’re in front of a big box superstore sequestering ourselves in our cars until we can get the nerve to exit

and face the world again to buy a spray bottle and dish soap? Please say yes. My tears were flowing because I’d been catching box elder bugs in my apartment for three days. These insects find their way inside my apartment year round, but I usually only see one every couple weeks. Last Sunday, after being gone all day, I caught 10 within a half hour on my ceilings, walls and windows. There are two designated plastic cups for bug catching at my place, and instead of killing the critters, I’ve been releasing them outside for the last year. I’m so uncomfortable with bugs, however, that getting near them is kind of hard for me. So, catching 10 to 20 box elder bugs at once caused some trauma, especially since a bunch more were congregating around my porch. This was a real-life nightmare for me. Catching, releasing and knowing they would probably just come back

somehow. By Monday I’d had enough. I ended up at Wal-Mart buying something that would get rid of them; my friends suggested dish soap. Now I’ve begun spraying them outside, but that still makes me feel bad. Call me crazy or whatever, but it doesn’t make me feel much better to kill them. Anyway, I’m always trying to remind myself that all things are temporary. There’s really no reason to cry. The box elder bugs will eventually be gone. A good reminder of impermanence hit me this week when I learned more about the band Kansas that will perform Wednesday in Logan. One of their songs is stuck in my head now. I’m sure you know it. “Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more.” — Manette Newbold

Art on the Lawn to raise funds for students In its eighth year, Art on the Lawn will take place this weekend at the Old Crookston Home, 1491 E. 2300 North in North Logan. The annual event raises funds for the Dean F. and Bessie C. Peterson Foundation for Cache Valley Arts and Literacy. A sneak peek opens the event tonight from 5 to 7 when Texas Roadhouse will provide light h’ordeuvres. On Saturday, guests are welcome from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be a silent auction, entertainment by several local bands, a chili cookout and more. Plein air artists are welcome to come with easels and paint around the property. There will also be an old car show on the lawn. This year, some money will be raised for the Daniel Robert Lynch Art Education and Scholarship Program which benefits high school students in the county. Most of the teens in years past have used the tuition money to attend USU. This fundraiser includes an opportunity for someone to come away with great art for very little in donations. Mountain Crest High School teacher Michael Bingham has organized “Mini Masterpiece Mystery” for Art on the Lawn. Patrons can purchase a 5-by-7-inch piece of art in a bag. Some patrons will receive work valued up to $300 from professional artists, others will get student artwork from Sky View or Mountain Crest High. Either way, customers will end up with something really nice, said event organizer Lucy Peterson Watkins. All proceeds will benefit the

ALL MIXED UP Learn how native plants were used for cultural purposes The executive director of the American West Heritage Center is the next featured guest at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology and its “Saturdays at the Museum” series. The theme for Saturday is ethnobotany. Bill Varga offers a presentation at the museum at 1 p.m., discussing how American Indians and pioneers used plants found in northern Utah for medical, culinary and cultural purposes. Many of these plants can still be used for the same purposes today. In addition to the presentation, there will be crafts for children, including making cordage and paper flowers. The museum will also give tours of the exhibits “Atlatls, Nets and Pinyon Nuts: Gathering Food in the Prehistoric Great Basin” and “Great Basin Basketry.” Event organizers offer a description of “ethnobotany,” provided by the National Tropical Botanical Garden. “Ethnobotany along with the related disciplines of ethnobiology and ethnoecology are of central importance for understanding and improving the sustainability of our relationships with the living world.” Varga’s presentation at the museum will demonstrate how an understanding of the living world allowed American Indians and pioneers alike to prosper in the harsh land that defines northern Utah. The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.

Austin Weyand to share light, acoustic sound Finger-style guitarist Austin Weyand will perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 10, at Why Sound. Cost is $5. Weyand is passionate about the guitar and has run the gamut of performing situations. From playing guitar concertos with symphony orchestras, jazz jam sessions in Chicago, bluegrass and Celtic music on a tour through Europe, a local rock band which plays regularly in the Intermountain West, to Spanish Flamenco for an eightweek run of the U.S. premiere of “Zorro the Musical,” Weyand can’t get enough of the guitar.

Monday, July 2 Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre

Singers and musicians from the UFOCMT perform selections of their own choosing every Monday. The music often previews numbers from the UFOCMT productions but there is always a good mix of popular music, Broadway show tunes and opera. Always well attended, it is best to come a little early to get the best seats.

Wednesday, July 4 Brandon Lee and Sisters: Piano Virtuosi

Relic is a group of veteran musicians based in Cache Valley that performs easy listening, acoustic oldies. With more than 100 years of performing experience between its three musicians, Relic is an appropriate name for the group ... but don’t let that scare you. Their sound is fresh and their performance is entertaining. With three guitars and three voices, Relic paints a musical landscape with their intricate harmonies. Their song list includes numbers from the great artists of the ’60s and ’70s, such as The Beatles, The Eagles, James Taylor, Bread, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Kansas and America — songs that everyone remembers and loves from the “golden era” of popular music.

Thursday, July 5 A Broadbent Family Affair: Musical Variety

Richard and Merrilee Broadbent and family began singing together in college. When it became apparent that their duo was too good to break up, they got married and increased the size of their ensemble by four. (Thanks to some great marriages, they’ve added two more.) Michelle is a graduate of USU and BYU, was BYU’s “Singer of the Year,” and has studied and performed internationally. Nicole has performed since childhood and sung in musicals, and several elite choirs. James, also a musical veteran, sang leading roles as a freshman with USU Opera Theater and in Chamber Singers. He added another talented member when he married Annie Ferrin last year. Finally, we have Christopher, age 12, who sings in the Cache Children’s Choir.

Tuesday, July 3 Relic: ’60s and ’70s Pop Music

Friday, July 6 Debbie Ditton and Students: Vocal The Lee Family Pianists have been thrilling audiences for more than 20 years with their unique ability to perform together on a single instrument. The music they will perform Wednesday will include a selection of patriotic, classical and Latin infused compositions, as well as American Songbook Classics. Brandon and Sherilyn are each graduates of USU’s Caine College of the Arts, and are currently student teachers there. Shannon has completed high school studies and is deciding which field she would like to enter for collegiate study. They are all proud to be Cache Valley residents and continue to support arts in the area.

Debbie Ditton has lived and taught voice in Cache Valley for 18 years. She currently directs with Music Theatre West, a local theater company, with credits including “Annie,” “Music Man” and “Slipper and the Rose.” This fall, she will return to the stage as Mrs. Fairfax in Jay Richards’ “Jane Eyre.” Her noon music performance will include some of her favorite pieces from various genres and she will be joined by a few of her friends and students. Debbie is a great supporter of the arts in Cache Valley and has just accepted the job of director for the Summerfest Arts Faire for 2013 and beyond.

movies Steven Soderbergh makes movies about sexy subjects, then strips away the sexiness about them. He is fascinated by process, often to a clinical extent. In recent years this has been true of “The Girlfriend Experience” (starring real-life porn star Sasha Grey as a high-priced Manhattan call girl), “Contagion” (about a viral outbreak that claims lives worldwide) and “Haywire” (featuring mixed-martial artist Gina Carano as a special-ops agent seeking revenge for a betrayal). Even the glitzy, star-studded “Ocean’s 11,” one of Soderbergh’s most pleasingly escapist films, takes its time laying out every detail of its ambitious Las Vegas casino heist. Now he’s directed “Magic Mike,” about the cheesy world of male stripping in the cheesy setting of Tampa, Fla. Yes, the dance numbers themselves exude masculine, muscular heat — how could they not with guys like Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello strutting on stage in barely-there costumes? — but Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin take us behind the scenes and linger over the mundane minu-

You’re going to have to be a Seth MacFarlane fan in order to enjoy the comedic trappings of “Ted,” a movie about a foul-mouthed teddy bear magically brought to life by a child’s wish. Chances are if you think “Family Guy” is one of the worst television shows you’ve ever watched, you’ll probably end up thinking “Ted” is one of the most unfunny, crude movies you’ve ever had to sit through. On the other hand, if you find McFarlane’s brand of trademark referential humor something you simply can’t live without, you will laugh all the way through this

Cuddly, crude ‘Ted’ not for the faint of heart

Guitarist Rich Williams shares his story, Kansas history

Photo courtesy Rick Diamond

ich Williams suddenly recalls one summer night during his childhood in Topeka. Several decades have passed, but the scene is now fresh in his mind. The boy of about 12 lies in his bed. The windows are open, and the music from a nearby block party pervades more than just his room. “There was something about that moment that I really identified with,” Williams said. “In hearing that band play when I was young, it was kind of like the boy who wanted to join the circus. There was something about all of that that called me. And that was really ... the first time that I had really felt that before.” Now 62 years old, Williams — one of two original members of the rock band Kansas — has been called one of the greatest guitar players of his generation. It was a “calling,” rooted in those impressionable years. Williams said he had “completely forgotten” about that memory until recently. “I always said, ‘It’s when I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan; you know, that’s when I (decided) that I wanted to be a guitar player’ and this and that,” he said. “It was before that, you know, in hearing the bands play kind of in the neighborhood. It’s something I personally just was born to do.” In the early 1970s, Williams said he and the other Kansas originals were unified by a desire to make music that was authentic. “We wanted to write our own solid material, not sing about cars and girls and ... not play songs with the same four chords and with the same beats and same time signatures,” he said. “We really wanted to be original.” Williams added, “I think that’s what brought all of us together was we really wanted to pursue this as a real band of creating music, writing our own material, doing this seriously — not as a little

Legendary rock band Kansas will headline this year’s “Freedom Fire” Independence Day celebration at Utah State University’s Romney Stadium July 3. The American Festival Orchestra will accompany Kansas. Other acts include the following: American Festival Chorus and Orchestra, John Jacobson’s America Sings! with more than 300 local youth performers, Mile Marker 6, Old Lyric Repertory Company, Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre and Enlight Ballroom Company.

income boost.” In fact, the group, originally formed in Topeka during 1973, struggled financially early on. By the time “Leftoverture” — Kansas’ fourth album — came out in 1976, the band was “heavily in debt” with the record company, having signed a “terrible record deal,” according to Williams. He continued, “We had to pay for the costs of virtually everything out of our share, which was peanuts. So while they were making tons of money, they’re recouping from us all the costs of everything from our pittance they were throwing us. So it wasn’t until ‘Leftoverture’ actually went gold that we broke even with past debt.” The first track on that album, “Carry on Wayward Son,” was the group’s first Top 40 hit. The song continues to be a mainstay on classic rock radio and is featured on the games “Guitar Hero II” and “Rock Band II” — which translates to greater exposure to the younger generation. Asked why that song and other singles such as “Dust in the Wind” (from 1977’s “Point of Know

Return”) have had such staying power over the years, Williams responded that their ambiguity may partly explain it. Referring to “Carry On,” Williams said it “can mean a lot to a lot of people — and not necessarily the same thing.” He added, “It is spiritual in that it is inspirational. It’s not spiritual in a religious sense, as much as it is ... more of a promise in your search that something good will happen.” Another explanation, Williams said, is that the song has perhaps helped people in times of trouble. “They’ve found maybe a bit of an answer there,” he said. And on the lighter side, Williams said the hit is noteworthy for what it lacks: “cheesy cliches about cars and girls ... that make you sound like an idiot when you’re in your 60s singing it.” Almost 40 years after Kansas was formed, Williams and Phil Ehart, who plays drums, remain with the band. Asked why he’s stayed all these years, Williams said the “grass was never greener for me.” “You know, I never thought of the band as something holding me back from what I wanted to do,” Williams said. “In my personal opinion, what we were best at was the combination of the experience and talent — all of those things combined made Kansas. ... The individual parts weren’t near as strong to me as the unit.” He said the fact that the band is still going strong means a lot. “Love us or hate us, we’re a force to be reckoned with, and we’ve put a giant footprint, you know, in rock ’n’ roll history,” Williams said. “I think what I’m proudest of now is just that we are here — almost 40 years later.”

Quilts depict Hawaiian culture at Brigham City Museum next month Over thousands of years, seeds, plants and trees were carried to the Hawaiian Islands by sea winds, birds and people. Because of the islands’ tropical warmth and humidity, they’re teeming with exotic flowers, fruits and other forms of green plant life. Dianna Grundhauser of Makawao, Hawaii, has immersed herself in the lushness of the “aloha state” to create art quilts that will hang in the Brigham City MuseumGallery’s National Quilt Invitational Exhibition July 3 through Aug. 28. The museum will be open July 4. Other artists invited to display their quilts are Marta Amundson of Wyoming, Kathie Briggs and Lenore Crawford of Michigan, Patty Hawkins of Colorado and Kathy McNeil of Washington. Quilters from Utah will also participate. The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West. Admission is free. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. For further information, call 435-226-1439 or visit www. brighamcitymuseum.org. In her quilts, Grundhauser

Your Stuff “Un Pregunta” By Heather Malmberg Do you ever stand up after sitting on your leg for over an hour and you fall over and land on your face breaking your nose which starts gushing blood so you grab something to mop up your face and realize it’s your little brother’s diaper which has not been used a blessing for which you thank any listening gods.

Your nose is in excruciating pain but you are unable to drive to the hospital because you leg is still completely numb so you trip around your house limping and screaming in pain while your dog confused and afraid pees in your favorite shoes? Yeah, me neither.

Charming, politically incorrect ‘Private Lives’ amuses critic

The Old Lyric Repertory Company’s ongoing production of “Private Lives” is an utterly charming and hilarious theater experience. The three-act classic comedy opened Thursday, June 21, with a performance that was still fresh as a daisy more than 80 years after the play was written by Noël Coward. One of the thrills of repertory theater is seeing performers whose work you previously enjoyed try on new faces and personalities in a different show.

Cronkite book excels at telling it the way it was By Douglass K. Daniel Associated Press

Memo to bloggers: Earning the title “most trusted man in America” doesn’t happen overnight. For longtime “CBS Evening News” anchor Walter Cronkite, decades spent reporting — not rendering opinions — preceded his unofficial coronation as the person to turn to for the straight story. It didn’t have to be that way. As historian Douglas Brinkley relates in his detailed and insightful biography, Cronkite could have become a crusader like his CBS News colleague Edward R. Murrow. Or he could have turned temporary gigs hosting a morning show or a game show into his life’s work. For that matter, he could have returned to his native Missouri. But reporting the news favored Cronkite’s nature — he enjoyed finding facts and talking to people — and it matched his training as a newspaperman and his early experiences in radio and as a wire service

reporter. For him, reporting with accuracy and fairness was a worthy calling — and at times an exciting one. Cronkite (1916-2009) was a good writer and tireless when it came to getting information. He moved from United Press postings in Kansas City and New York to London as the U.S. entered World War II. His experience as a war correspondent and as a postwar reporter in Moscow further seasoned his perspective and added to his

credibility. Cronkite joined CBS News in 1950, a late arrival to big-time broadcasting — the loyal “Unipresser” had turned down Murrow’s offer of a radio job during the war — but then excelled in the new medium with a wide variety of assignments. Brinkley writes of Cronkite’s stature in 1960, two years before he began a 19-year run as the network’s evening news anchor: “He had come to personify the CBS eye even more than Murrow, and was anointed by the TV viewers as America’s most likable and professional eyewitness to the 20th century.” Professional but not flawless. Brinkley points out that Cronkite had a sizable ego and found it difficult to fault himself whenever he suffered a career stumble. He stayed neutral on the air during the McCarthyism period, apparently not wanting to risk derailing his own career, and later saw nothing wrong with being a cheerleader for the space program or the environmental movement. Cronkite allowed his low opinion of Sen. Barry Gold-

Book brings values to the dinner table Winner of the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award in children’s education, “Epic Stories for Character Education” is a collection of short, illustrated, non-doctrinal stories from the Bible, Book of Mormon and classic literature. The purpose is to provide families with a resource to restore Judeo-Christian values in a time of moral decline. Drawing on Biblical traditions, author C.A. Davidson of Logan acknowledges everyone has to eat dinner and parents can naturally transmit traditional family values, without preaching, by sharing inspira-

Regional Reads tional stories at dinner time. According to Davidson, sharing scriptural stories builds Biblical faith and protects families from unholy influences. In response to September 11, 2001, Davidson sought to restore the “dinner talk” tradition as a way to strengthen families. She created the “Epicworld Dinner Topics” website, and has been providing online dinner topics for more than ten years. “Epic Stories for Character Education” is available at Hast-

water to affect his coverage of the conservative Republican, then for years accepted with little skepticism the Johnson administration line on Vietnam. Brinkley notes that Cronkite’s influential break with President Lyndon Johnson on the Vietnam War in 1968 came later than it did for some reporters. The anchorman is reported to have urged Robert Kennedy to run for president, and he was known as a soft interviewer, especially with presidents, regardless of party. Still, in those three decades when hardly a day went by without Cronkite appearing on CBS, his overall reputation for honesty and evenhandedness was enviable and contrib-

uted greatly to establishing the medium’s standards. That made the cold shoulder Cronkite received in the 1980s from the new regime at CBS difficult to take. The million-dollar contract he enjoyed for many years, Brinkley writes, was more about preventing the CBS icon from publicly criticizing the company and his evening news replacement, Dan Rather, than having him contribute to its airwaves. Brinkley’s impressive chronicle of one of the century’s great journalists burnishes Cronkite’s reputation anew. It’s a celebration of the triumph of hard work, dedication and the belief that getting the story and getting it right mattered most.
