FROM THE EDITOR This might sound strange, but I think about the Pioneer Day celebration in Mendon just about every night.

A few years ago, I was playing left field in the annual softball tournament held around Pioneer Day. After failing to come up with a ball hit up against the fence that I felt I should have caught, I was particularly determined to come up with the next ball hit my way.

Unfortunately, that soon proved to be a ball down the line that I normally would

have considered out of my range. But because of my increased determination, I dived hard for it, and actually got a little glove on the ball. But in so doing, I landed awkwardly, ended up skidding into the fence and somehow hurt my left shoulder, even though I was diving to my right.

Ever since then, my shoulder hurts anytime I try to sleep on my left side and slip an arm under the pillow. So, that’s why Mendon comes to mind any time I get tired of lying on my right side.

That said, Mendon does put on a great softball tournament every July. And the small community on the west side of Cache Valley really takes its Pioneer Day celebration very seriously.

Events have been going on out there all week long, building up to the finale on Saturday when one could start with the Handcart Half Marathon at 6 a.m. and end with fireworks after dark.

In between, the volunteer fire department hosts an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. for just $5, and there’s a parade at noon, followed by the epic, 12th annual Great Race, which has to be seen to be believed. There are literally more than a dozen other activities to watch or participate in, which will leave you sleeping like a baby — and certainly better than me — come late Saturday night.

USU Alumni show focuses on WWII era

In a departure from the usual outdoor setting, Utah State University presents its Alumni Band in concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 27, in the Kent Concert Hall in the Chase Fine Arts Center.

“This concert will focus on the music of World War II,” says Nick Morrison, conductor and senior associate dean in the Caine College of the Arts.

Morrison also said Tad Calcara, principal clari-

net of the Utah Symphony, and Lynn Maxine Rosen, violin in the Utah Symphony, will be soloists at the concert. The Larry Smith Jazz Kicks Big Band will also perform at intermission.

Calcara has been principal clarinet of the Utah Symphony since 1999.

He studied clarinet at the Manhattan School of Music, San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Music. Calcara can also be heard play-

ing chamber music in Salt Lake City or leading his 16-piece New Deal Swing Big Band, which specializes in classic jazz and swing music.

Rosen has played first and second violin, as well as viola, with the Utah Symphony for 26 years. She received a bachelor of music in violin performance with honors at Indiana State University and has studied with Joachim Chassman, Josef Gingold and Joseph Silverstein.

Rosen also founded and manages the Jupiter Trio.

The Larry Smith Jazz Kicks Big Band is led by USU professor emeritus Larry Smith and is comprised of other local musicians who like playing jazz music. Smith served as director of jazz studies in the CCA for more than 30 years until 2002.

Morrison said they chose the WWII theme because soldiers throughout the ages have taken their culture with

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Earlier this year a Luc Besson script, under the direction of the slightly mad director McG, turned into “3 Days to Kill,” a bonkers espionage movie which was both endlessly frustrating and weirdly beautiful.

With Besson behind the camera directing his own kooky story, he’s come up with something just as bizarre and even more enjoyable. When every other action director is zigging, Besson zags.

Just when you think you know where “Lucy” is going, it changes course.

It eventually gets where we’d thought it would end up, but the avenues it travels are alien to most.

“Lucy” happens to be a kaleidoscopic mashup of “Transcendence,” “Transporter” and “Tree of Life”; a weird pulsing beast of a movie that rushes along its 89-minute runtime without a second to spare. Time, as it turns out, is an extremely important plot device. So, treating its subject matter with respect, Besson never rests. His story blows by us at full force, at a dangerously feverish pace.

Solo Dragon: Benefit conce Dan Reynolds plays acoustic show in Sandy to help his friend fight cancer

P

laying in front of thousands of adoring fans has become the norm for Dan Reynolds.

The lead singer of Imagine Dragons is enjoying success and evergrowing popularity with his band.

The group recently won the Best Rock Performance Grammy to add to a long list of awards over the past year from the group’s debut album “Night Visions.”

But a week ago the Las Vegas native found himself at the Sandy Amphitheater. Instead of singing with Imagine Dragons, Reynolds was flying solo and in front of an intimate crowd of 2,700. And he loved every minute of his 12-song set. That’s because he was putting on a benefit concert for a very special friend — Cache Valley native Kim Olsen White.

“In the music world, everything is so me-me and selfish,” Reynolds said shortly before taking the stage on July 17. “So, it is good to be able to come home, see the people you love and to be able to help a very special person like Kim.” Reynolds attended BYU and has many ties to the Beehive State. Two members of Imagine Dragons are from Utah. And White has returned to her home state after a very successful college soccer career in Iowa.

While White and Reynolds are close friends and enjoyed seeing each other and visiting before the concert, the reason for the gathering is a serious one. White was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in March — adrenocortical carcinoma.

She had a cantaloupe-sized malignant tumor removed from on top of her kidneys and lost a son she was pregnant with in the process. Now she is going through chemotherapy in bat-

tling the stage-four cancer.

“It’s OK, just depends on the day,” White said of the treatment. “... I feel good for the most part.”

Reynolds was contacted by friends of Kim’s husband, Treagan White, about doing a benefit concert.

Bracelets distributed at the show declare “KIM CAN KICK IT!”

Story by Shawn Harrison • Photos by John Zsiray Imagine Dragons and maybe that would be a possibility. It was kind of wishful thinking — that would be cool, but that’s never going to happen.”

But the singer jumped at the idea.

“Absolutely, Kim means a lot to me,” Reynolds said. “This is a chance to be able to do something much more

meaningful than anything else that I’m doing as a musician.”

Reynolds also hosted a meet-andgreet session before the show as 107 people paid extra money for a chance to pose with singer in a photo and chat a little. Those VIP tickets sold out in five minutes. Several young females

left the back stage area with tears of joy.

Mindy Anderson, a family friend of the Whites, helped organize the benefit. She also set up an online site for donations, which had raised more than $11,000 earlier this week. It is called “Kim’s Kickin’ Cancer” and can be found online at: gofundme. com/helpkimwhite.

“I have three kids of my own, so for me it hit home and I wanted to do something to help,” Anderson said. “...

They (Dan and Mack Reynolds, Dan’s manager and older brother) have been so totally willing to help. They came here on their own dime and are not getting paid anything. They came here and paid their own costs. It’s just been so incredible and turned out awesome.

I just can’t believe the support.”

Reynolds had similar thoughts.

“It’s incredible,” he said. “There are people that couldn’t make it out tonight that wanted to donate, so they got online from all over the world and donated. It’s incredible to see people come together.”

Kim didn’t know about the benefit until a day before Imagine Dragons posted the benefit on its website. The 26-year-old was having a hard day and her husband cheered her up with the news.

“It definitely is overwhelming,” Kim said. “To see all these people that are willing to help out someone they don’t know, and then all my family and friends that are supporting. “... I’ve seen comments from people that are donating, saying they are just because they love Imagine Dragons.

Really cool things like that have been such a blessing.”

Reynolds and Kim White met in Iowa. He was serving an LDS mission, and she was playing college soccer at Iowa Western Community College.

Reynolds was playing a guitar and singing at an LDS Institute activity that White attended.

“We met on his mission and built a really good friendship,” Kim said.

“We wrote each other, spent some time together after his mission and have just always stayed in contact. He is just a really great guy. “... He has always wanted to sing, so it has been really awesome to watch him live his dream. To see them go huge is awesome.”

She said before being diagnosed, she really had no knowledge of cancer See SOLO on Page 12

The Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song “Love the One You’re With” is, of course, really an ode to infidelity and casual sex shallowly buried beneath the quartet’s sweetsounding harmonies. I think this has led, in a less hippie way, to the local-everything movement.

I’d like to suggest that we roll all that buy local, eat local, artisan, sustainable, hand-built, crafted, carbon neutral blah, blah, blah into the one all purpose catch phrase “Live Local.”

I admit that coffee, bananas and wine are the main food groups that keep me from being a true, local-only eater.

However, that doesn’t mean I can’t at least buy more of the stuff locally rather than pushing the magic Internet

Books Burke fashions an epic story in ‘Stranger’

By Bruce Desilva Associated Press

Author James Lee Burke is a descendant of tough Texas lawmen.

In fact, his maternal great-grandfather once tangled with some of the West’s most notorious gunslingers.

Although Burke is most famous for hardboiled crime novels featuring Louisiana lawman Dave Robicheaux, he has written seven fine novels inspired by the Hollan side of his family, changing the surname to Holland when he introduced Hackberry Holland, a hard-drinking

Weldon Avery Holland.

When we first meet him, it’s 1934, and Weldon, a teenager, is living on a hardscrabble Texas farm with his mentally ill mother and his grumpy grandfather, the man who had fought the likes of John Wesley Hardin, Bill Dalton and Pancho Villa. But now, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker wander into their lives, hiding out on the edge of the Holland property between lawyer, in “Lay Down bank robberies. Unsure My Sword and Shield” in if they are evil thugs 1971. or the avenging angels In “Wayfaring Strang- Depression-era popular er,” he introduces another culture made them out to be, Weldon is haunted member of the family,

by the encounter.

But later, as a second lieutenant, Weldon and his sergeant, Hershel Pine, discover what true evil is when a Waffen SS Tiger tank nearly takes their lives. Separated from their unit, they accidentally wander into an abandoned Nazi death camp where Weldon saves a young woman named Rosita Lowenstein, who eventually agrees to be his wife.

After the war, Weldon and Hershel return to Texas where they go into business together, building pipelines for the booming oil business. But rich and politi-

cally well-connected Texans are eager to destroy their business and acquire the unique welding process they have patented.

The two friends want to believe they left evil behind in Europe, but they soon discover that anti-Semitism is not foreign to American soil, and that rampant greed is just another form of evil.

The forces arrayed against Weldon and Hershel bear down on them with all the force of a freight train, tearing at their marriages, threatening them with prison and even attempting to

New Horizons coming to Logan Apes Orchestra designed to accommodate older students Are you someone who finally has time available to use just for yourself?

Many seniors have spent their entire lives dedicated to taking care of family and career responsibilities. Kids might now be grown up and gone. Perhaps retirement has come and for the first time ever you might have the time to explore new directions in your life.

Perhaps you always wanted to learn to play the violin as a child but never got the chance. Have you always been fascinated by the warm, rich sound of the viola?

Maybe you played in junior high then put away that cello, now much to your regret.

Perhaps you have thought to yourself, I wish I could learn to play a big bass fiddle. Possibly you are a mom or dad who has provided your children with years of lessons and orchestra oppor-

tunities, secretly wishing that you could learn to play that instrument yourself. Perhaps you have an instrument taking space in a closet, one that hasn’t been opened in years.

If any of these scenarios apply to you ... now is your time. This is the chance you probably never thought would come to you, an opportunity to learn to play violin, viola, cello or bass in an orchestra.

New Horizons is coming to Cache Valley. This orchestra is primarily designed for adults, 40 and older. Participants may be true beginners, people who have not played in years or adults who have already begun to take lessons on a string instruments.

There is a place for you, regardless of your level of experience.

Founded in 1991 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, by Roy Ernst, the

New Horizons concept is now an international organization with participating groups found in cities all over the world. There are no tryouts, no grades; just adults coming together to experience the joy of making music together.

The fall trimester in Cache Valley will begin Sept. 15 and end Dec. 10. Rehearsals will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at the Bullen Center, 43 S. Main St. Cost is $130 per trimester.

A Cache Valley New Horizons Orchestra open hose will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Bullen Center.

take their lives.

The epic story Burke has fashioned is thick with tension to the very end. His characters, both heroes and villains, are superbly well drawn, and as in every Burke novel, the poetic descriptions of both urban and country settings bring Texas to life on the page.

Burke’s last three novels, “Light of the World,” ‘’Creole Belle” and “Feast Day of Fools,” were arguably his best. “Wayfaring Stranger” joins them as one of his most powerful and ambitious novels to date.

The Whites currently live in Farmington with their daughter, Hensleigh, who will turn 2 years old in a few weeks.

“She (Hensleigh) keeps Kim happy,” Treagan said.

“She keeps me on my toes and is a little crazy, but my daughter is my reason for fighting,” Kim said.

Kim is the daughter of Gary and Jane Olsen of Providence and was an all-state soccer player at Mountain Crest High School. She had a very successful two years at Iowa Western, setting the school record with 24 goals and 17 assists as a freshman in 2006 and then breaking her own record with 26 goals and 15 assists as a sophomore.

“She was an incredible soccer player before blowing out her knee,” Treagan said. “Her skill and shot was still there, just not the ability to make quick moves.”

On April 27, the Family Series will conclude with “Little Red Riding Hood and the Not So Bad Wolf.” Most people are familiar with the classic tale of “Little Red Riding Hood,” but this rendition of the tale provides the audience with a different take.

Reynolds interacted with the crowd throughout the 12 songs he performed. He even asked for requests, then sang “Demons,” another Imagine Dragons song.

Reynolds also talked about each song and why he chose it.
