FROM THE EDITOR It’s hard to believe it’s that weekend again already. You know, the one where all of the valley’s Fourth of July celebrations coincide with the popular Cache Valley Cruise-In. It means the summer is flying by much too fast, and that there’s a whole lot of entertainment options from one end of the valley to the next. Sure, it sometimes takes a little explain-
ing to newcomers or visitors why the biggest fireworks show of the holiday is on July 3 and not July 4. But honestly, isn’t that a great way to do it? That way, if you have to work on Friday I can’t attended the annual Freedom Fire celebrated at recently rechristened Maverik Stadium, you can still catch a show in Hyrum or Lewiston on Saturday night. And if you live on the north end of the valley, want to get up earlier and/or prefer to keep cool on the Fourth of July, you can attend the parade in Lewiston in the morning. But if you live at the south
end, want to sleep in and/or enjoy warmer weather, you can hit the parade in Hyrum at noon. And if you simply prefer horsepower to actual horses, you can skip the two Fourth of July parades altogether and settle in on Main Street Saturday evening for a couple hours’ worth of classic cars hot-rodding up and down Logan’s main drag. It’s certainly one of the best weekends to live in and/or visit Cache Valley, and I hope it’s a safe and happy Independence Day weekend one for everyone. — Jeff Hunter
‘Terminator’ story rolls on with ‘bonkers’ new sequel
– Rentrak media analyst Paul Dergarabedian on the debut of ‘Ted 2’ (Page 6)
By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
Look, I know that I shouldn’t have liked “Terminator Genisys” as much as I did. This franchise has reached peak levels of ridiculousness. “Genisys” plays fast and loose with time travel. It forces ponderous questions such as whether all their time hopping effectively erases all other previous “Terminator” movies. The film aggressively piles on time-travel paradoxes like its building the Great Pyramid of Giza out of them. At some point you stop thinking about, “Well, if they did that, does the last movie even happen?” and start thinking, “This is all just gleefully ridiculous. Bring on the next outrageous illogical plot twist!” Oh, perhaps I was simply down for an action movie that deals mostly with smallscale destruction of public property (not counting the judgement day nuke scene at the beginning). This summer movie season is full of movies that aren’t just content on destroying a couple buildings — all the buildings or nothing, seems to be their motto. “Genisys” has a few large action set pieces, but on the whole it’s not knocking down skyscrapers like dominoes, and in a way that

was refreshing. We begin in the future; 2029 to be exact. For those who are rusty on their “Terminator” canonical knowledge a brief recap of Skynet, John Connor, Sarah Connor, Judgement Day, and the ensuing resistance is offered. Kyle Reese (Jai
Courtney) is the narrator. He finds himself fighting right alongside John Connor as they’re on the brink of killing Skynet once and for all. Then they discover Skynet’s tactical time weapon, everything changes. This is where the plot line gets hazy, jumbled up
amongst time jumps and alternate timelines. One wonders how many timelines are simultaneously running in the “Terminator” universe. Then one wonders if it really matters if one knows. Reese is sent back in time to capture a Terminator that Skynet sent back in time before they lost the war. There Reese meets a young Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), who’s been hanging out with a T-800 lovingly named Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Once See BACK on Page 11

ALL MIXED UP Lyric Repertory Company season rolls on
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 The Lyric Repertory Company presents “The manic menagerie of traveling actors Mystery of Edwin Drood” through Aug. 1. 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” opened 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 See SEASON on Page 13

‘Ted 2’ lags far behind ‘World,’ ‘Inside Out’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — A foul-mouthed Teddy bear is no match for a pack of dinosaurs. Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted 2” opened far under expectations with $32.9 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday, ceding the top two spots to holdovers “Jurassic World” and “Inside Out.” While $32.9 million is a solid opening for an R-rated comedy, bigger things were expected from “Ted 2,” which cost a reported $68 million to produce. The Universal Pictures sequel was expected to
earn somewhere in the $50 million range going into its debut weekend, thanks to the record-setting precedent of the first film, which earned $54.4 million in 2012. In addition to mediocre reviews, perhaps the initial intrigue around a raunchy stuffed animal has worn off a bit. “It’s hard to maintain that hyper level of excitement once people have seen the talking Teddy bear,” Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said. “In comedy, it’s about inventiveness, newness and the shock value of
“We could have had a higher gross, but we get the gross we get. It was a very competitive marketplace this weekend,” said Carpou, who noted that the first film’s gross was a massive surprise to the studio. “Jurassic World,” also a Universal film, narrowly held the top spot for the third weekend in a row with a mighty $54.2 AP Photo million, pushing it past “Ted 2,” starring Mark Wahlberg, right, took in an under- the $500 million mark whelming $32.9 on its opening weekend. domestically — only the fifth film to do so in hissomething original.” itive response from exit tory.

Dead play final shows Iconic band set to perform last concert Sunday
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The songs still ran long. To the uninitiated, the communal rituals of the faithful fans probably looked strange. Was it trippy? Well, this was a Grateful Dead show, after all, the first in a handful over the next week that are said to be the last. The four surviving members of the Dead, joined by a trio of well-versed companions, launched their “Fare Thee Well” mini-tour Saturday night in Northern California, where the legendary jam band got its start 50 years ago and almost two decades after the death of beloved lead guitarist Jerry Garcia. During a performance that featured a little more than 3 ½ hours of music, the group’s socalled “core four” — rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh and percussionists Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann — unreeled a set list featuring both crowd-pleasers and

obscure pieces from their early catalog. The band got the Levi’s Stadium crowd of about 80,000 into its customary loose-limbed groove at the start with familiar renditions of “Truckin’” and “Uncle John’s Band.” From there, the rest of the first set veered unevenly through
“Cumberland Blues,” ‘’Born Cross-Eyed” and a 20-minutelong “Viola Lee Blues” that gave Phish front man Trey Anastasio, who had the honor and pressure of serving as Garcia’s surrogate on guitar, his first challenge on a solo. See DEAD on Page 12
high expectations every step of the way. He’s excited that it seems that audiences are returning for repeat viewings. Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out,” meanwhile, finished at a close No. 2, earning $52.1 million — only a 42 percent drop from its first weekend in theaters. Dergarabedian marveled at the consistency of “Jurassic World” and “Inside Out.” “These are no flash-inthe-pan movies. Both are delivering exactly what audiences want,” he said. See TED on Page 13
Ratings strong for CNN Campbell film NEW YORK (AP) — CNN’s airing of a documentary on singer Glen Campbell’s fight with Alzheimer’s Disease shattered previous viewership records for a movie on the news network. The Nielsen company said 2.76 million people watched “Glen Campbell ... I’ll Be Me” on Sunday, with another 1.26 million watching the rerun that aired immediately after. CNN started its film unit in 2012, seeking to broaden its programming mix to bring in viewers during slow news periods. It has aired some 20 movies, a mixture of films produced by the network or, like the Campbell documentary, acquired from outside sources. Previously, the movie “Blackfish” was CNN’s most popular film. Meanwhile, Lester Holt earned bragging rights during his first week as Brian Williams’ replacement as NBC “Nightly News” anchor. “Nightly News” averaged 8 million viewers during a particularly busy news week
with major Supreme Court decisions and the aftermath of the South Carolina church shooting. ABC’s “World News Tonight” had 7.7 million viewers and the “CBS Evening News” had 6.6 million. CBS was back on top in prime time, led by the return of its “Big Brother” summer series, averaging 5.5 million viewers. NBC had 4.5 million, and won among the youthful demographic that it targets. For the week of June 22-28, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “America’s Got Talent” (Tuesday), NBC, 11.08 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 8.78 million; “Celebrity Family Feud,” ABC, 8.28 million; “NCIS: Los Angeles,” NBC, 7.39 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 7.25 million; “Big Brother” (Wednesday) CBS, 6.92 million; “Dateline NBC,” NBC, 6.87 million; “The Bachelorette,” ABC, 6.64 million; “Big Brother” (Thursday), CBS, 6.42 million; “BET Awards,” BET, 6.27 million.

trippin’ through Florida to a stripper convention. And what we’re left with is a string of gleefully understated celebrity cameos (one which left me thinking, Huh, I wonder how they got Michael Strahan to agree to do that?), Channing Tatum being repeatedly asked to remove his shirt, and stripper routines that exponentially increase in level of difficulty as the film moves forward. There’s a certain audacity attached to “Magic Mike XXL.” A brazen attempt to sell an art film masquerading as a blockbuster in the middle of the summer movie season. Is it a comment
on just how much sex does sell? Although, if that’s the case — considering that this is a movie about strippers — the expected nudity is non-existent. Is it Soderbergh playing around in a sandbox to see just how much he can get away with, in regards to his auteur status? Or is it simply a better-made “Step Up” clone? Whatever it is, “Magic Mike XXL” remains a conundrum. It’s a movie that doesn’t even sport a general movie formula even though it’s set up as a formulaic road trip movie. Strange, right? It’s certainly a curious experience. An artistic endeavor, released in the heart of the summer movie season, billed as a franchise blockbuster sequel, featuring a cast of vapid characters that do nothing but dance sexily and yet there’s still something intriguing about it. Perhaps I’m a sucker for a wonderfully shot film no matter the subject. Or maybe the joke’s on me. UNIVERSITY 6 1225 North 200 East, Logan

The Reel Place AARON PECK
“Magic Mike XXL” is one of the strangest sequels in recent memory. It feels as if an elaborate joke is being played on the summer blockbuster season. It’s like a sly jab at franchise fever by packaging what is essentially an arthouse film with a mumblecore soul as a big-time summer blockbuster event full of chiseled abs and undulating pecs. While not directed by the venerable Steven Soderbergh this time around, it is shot and edited by him. The visual acuity is signature Soderbergh. The trailers lead you into thinking you’re getting a glossier, bigger version of the first “Magic Mike” movie, when in reality — at least visually — Soderbergh still retains his unique vision. You wouldn’t think that a movie about male strippers road tripping and stripping could be full of artistic imagery. But Soderbergh somehow turns these meathead man-babies into an artful project. His keen eye juxtaposed against the backdrop of such a ludicrous plot line feels like the biggest cinematic prank of all time. When the first “Magic Mike” — another disguised art flick sold as popcorn entertainment — scored relatively big at the box office, you’d think that its sequel would try to expand every bankable aspect especially in our current world of commercial sequel largess. You’d expect it to sell out to some degree. To take the stuff that made the first film popular (good-

A STAR-SPANGLED RODEO
Cowboys and cowgirls battle bulls, broncs and barrels
Since there’s nothing more American than a rodeo, it actually seems a little redundant for Hyrum to call its annual celebration of broncs, bulls, boots and blood the Star-Spangled Rodeo. The kickoff event for the city’s popular Fourth of July commemoration, the Star-Spangled Rodeo drew capacity crowds to the south end of Cache Valley last Friday and Saturday nights. “Time for the best reality show on dirt,” announcer Monroe Magnuson declared prior to the start of festivities on a very warm Friday evening. The 71st rodeo hosted by the Hyrum Saddle Club, this year’s event featured lots of red, white and blue to go with the usual collection of lovely rodeo queens on beautiful horses, and hearty cowgirls and cowboys trying to tame feisty livestock to the heavy-metal guitar riffs of classic rock bands. It was certainly a memorable weekend for the young financial secretary for the Hyrum Saddle Club, Craig Hibbard. Except for the few moments after he was knocked out, that is. After nearly two decades of pulling chutes at the Star-Spangled Rodeo, longtime chairman Jeff Burnett turned over that responsibility to Hibbard, who’s married to Burnett’s daughter, Amy. “Jeff’s been pulling chutes for 18 years, and I don’t think he’s every really had anything happen to him,” Hibbard notes. “But he gave me the job this year, and it’s a dang fun job. It’s quite the rush watching for the

cowboy to bob his head, then opening the chute and getting the heck out of way. “It’s also a pretty important job because if you open it too early, you get your butt chewed out. And if you open it too late, you get your butt chewed out.” After having nothing but fun on Friday night, Hibbard was opening the chute for bareback rider Ethan McNeil during Saturday’s performance when his night at the rodeo came to an abrupt end after less than three events. After quickly tossing McNeil, the
horse — a Broken Heart Rodeo Company mare named True Grit — kicked up her two back legs. One the bronc’s hooves skimmed the cheek of one of the bullfighters, while the other hit Hibbard solidly in the skull. “The bullfighter looked like he had been clawed by a cat, while I got clocked in the back of the head,” Hibbard recalls. “I don’t remember much for a while after that, other than waking up in the dirt. I tried to get up, but they were worried I had a neck injury and told me to stay down.
“They asked me what day it was, and I remembered what day. And then they asked me who the President of the United States was, and I said, ‘I’d rather not say,’ so they knew I was all there,” Hibbard adds with a cautious chuckle. With concerned fans and family members looking on, Hibbard was taken out of the arena on a backboard after about 10 minutes and transferred to Logan Regional Hospital by ambulance. A couple of CT scans later, he ended up with a couple of interior stitches and 14 staples in his head.

“The doctors were all just amazed that I didn’t have some sort of brain injury,” Hibbard says. “I’m dang lucky that I just have a wound on the back of my head in the shape of a horseshoe.” Hibbard ended up going home Saturday night — a couple of hours after the rodeo in Hyrum ended — and showed some “true grit” of his own by actually returning to his job at LeGrand Johnson Construction on Wednesday. “That horse, I think she knew
what she was after; she was going to get somebody, and it just happened to be me,” Hibbard says. “You’re always watching the bulls really close, but I learned my lesson to get the heck out of the way no matter what because those horses can sure kick, too. “But all things considered, I’m doing dang good, and I’m dang blessed to be here. Life’s short, and things can happen in a flash. Someone was definitely watching over me on Saturday night.”

The entire cast is brilliant, especially while performing rousing song-and-dance numbers that are whimsically unrelated to the musical’s plot. One of the show’s many pleasant surprises is Katie Francis playing the male title character in drag. That casting is not only in keeping with Victorian music hall traditions, but also provides the unusual opportunity for Francis and her adorable co-star Lacy J. Dunn to beautifully perform a love duet written to be sung by two sopranos. As the music hall’s master of ceremonies, Lyric veteran Joseph Tisa skillfully moves the musical along while

The band was organized many years ago to provide music for the delegates attending the National Letter Carriers Conventions and to perform for events and activities throughout our various communities. At their last convention in 2012, they played for 8,000 delegates in Minneapolis. The band has marched in the Days of ’47 Parade in Salt Lake City for over 50 years. Today the Salt Lake City band is only one of six U.S. Post Office bands remaining in the nation. Under the direction of Steve Talbot and Allan Cook, the 34 volunteer musicians continue the wonderful traditions that were established many years ago and love to share the joy of music with others.
providing deadpan commentary to help the audience keep up with numerous plot twists. Another cast standout is newcomer Peter Surace, who is wonderfully dastardly as a lecherous choirmaster. But is he the villain of the piece? You decide. As usual, set designer Dennis Hassan earns kudos for his evocative scenery. The only disappointment in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” is that the audience only gets to see one of eight possible endings, each with different songs and jokes. Of course, an insatiably curious theatergoer could always buy tickets for eight performances of the show and pray
for a different outcome each night. Even so, this wildly entertaining production would never get old. Lyric Repertory Company performances of “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” will continue at the Caine Lyric Theater at 28 W. Center St. through Aug. 1. ———

ing — if understated by today’s action movie standards — action set pieces that seem to flow one to the other without many hiccups. Sure, Jai Courtney has as much charisma as, say, the shirt he’s wearing, but the actors around him pull in the slack. Emilia Clarke gives a decent enough performance outside of her “Game of Thrones” motif. She’s quite capable of handling the Sarah Connor role this time around. Arnold is the real winner here. He doesn’t just make a cameo, he’s integral to the entire story. He’s got some knockdown-drag-out fights with T-800s, T-1000s and more. I don’t know, sometimes you’re just in the right mood for something so unapologetically ridiculous. This, I guess, was one of those times.

Seriously, you can’t even start entertaining the thoughts of multiple paradoxes, because they just keep coming. It’s bonkers. Completely bonkers. The real key here is the screenplay doesn’t try to get overly scientific about the mumbo-jumbo its concocting. It just goes for it. Well played. There are some excit-

The crowd-pleasing gimmick that “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” is best known for is allowing the audience to determine the musical’s ending. But the Lyric Repertory Company has doubled down on playwright Rupert Holmes’ original concept. The strength of the production that opened in Logan on June 24 is the intense spontaneity of its cast while interacting with the audience, giving the entire evening a thoroughly delightful flavor of improvisation. By the time that the audience has spent 15 minutes before the curtain and another 15 during intermission hobnobbing with the performers

The majority of the audience, which included former flower children with more than a touch of gray in their hair as well as millennials who were babies when Garcia died — were inclined to appreciate every chord, so grateful were they just to be there. “I’m in the right place at the right time and all the right people are here with me and it’s all perfect,” said Sabrina Donahue, 47 of Montana, who attended the show with her “best hippie soul sister” — a veteran of over

The parking lots around the stadium had more Subarus and luxury sedans than VW buses. There were fewer vendors selling tie-dyed T-shirts, glass pipes and jewelry than in the past, but enough to remind tailgating concertgoers they were in the right place. “I have this feeling about all the bands from the 60s — you want to see them one more time because they gave you so much,” said Larry Johnson, 64, of Seattle, who went with three college buddies.

Soldier Field is where they last played as a group before Garcia’s death at age 53. Although the original band members say July 5 will be the last time they perform together, they all have their own bands or musical projects and have teamed up as pairs for select gigs. “This is the end, but it isn’t the end,” said John Fauth, 20, of Oregon, who discovered the Dead two years ago around the time he bought a VW bus. “The community can’t just die.”
