FROM THE EDITOR The peak of the local rodeo season is upon us.

That Preston Night Rodeo kicked off Thursday night and will continue to provide thrills and spills in Franklin County through Saturday, while the annual Raspberry Days Festival at Bear Lake will feature a rodeo Friday and Saturday nights at the Laketown Arena.

Then, of course, there’s the 2014 Cache County Fair and Rodeo, which will feature cowboys, cowgirls and lots of rough stock from Aug. 7-9.

One man who will surely see more broncs and bulldoggers than anyone else

over the next two weeks is James Fain.

A resident of Logan, Fain is that guy; the guy you always see inside the rodeo arena with a nice camera who is actually dressed like a rodeo cowboy — opposed to the rest of us photographers, who are more likely to be wearing shorts and a baseball cap than boots, Wranglers and a cowboy hat.

A rodeo legend in the West, Fain was inducted into the Utah Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Ogden on July 6.

A former rodeo cowboy himself, Fain has been taking photos at rodeos for more than 50 years and was named the PRCA Rodeo Photographer of the Year in 1996 and 2006.

After watching Jim in action for years and always being impressed by his ability to deftly avoid being crushed by feisty animals, I got to know him a little better a

few years ago in the process of gathering photographs for a story on him for Cache Valley Magazine.

Over the course of a couple of nights at That Famous Preston Night Rodeo, it was a pleasure to see Jim in his element, telling stories and interacting with cowboys and cowgirls while selling his photos, as well as out in the arena putting himself in the best possible position to record all the action.

To be honest, just like Jim, I think shooting rodeo events is the most fun you can have as a photographer. And I couldn’t be more jealous that he’s the opportunity to do that on an almost daily basis in some of the most scenic places in the country for more than five decades.

‘Young’ folk group comes up from Provo for concert

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

It wasn’t Yellowstone, Yosemite or Zion, but the indie-folk/Americana group known as The National Parks still seemed to feel right at home at the Old City Park in Nibley Wednesday night.

The Provo-based trio, which made some noise on iTunes’ singer/songwriter chart earlier this year, delivered a 12-song concert composed primarily of tunes from their debut album, “Young.” And although a stiff breeze left many fans scrambling for jackets and blankets as the sun went down, the audience at the small amphitheater was clearly appreciative of the opportunity to hear a free performance from a group that has been gaining national attention.

“This is my first time in Nibley, Utah, but it’s beautiful here, and you have all been great,” lead vocalist/ guitarist Brady Parks told the crowd.

The National Parks are led by Parks, a native of the Denver area now attending BYU, who also played the bass drum with his right foot during Wednesday’s show. The trio first got together with the aid of mutual friends, but original violinist Paige

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

Jeff Hunter/Herald Journal

Lead vocalist and guitarist Brady Parks performs with The National Parks Wednesday night at the Old City Park in Nibley.

Wagner got married and moved to Hawaii early in the spring, opening a spot for Bae Sorenson. A native of Salt Lake City also going to BYU, Sorenson played the violin while also tapping the tambourine with her

right foot while in Nibley.

Original keyboardist Sydney MacFarlane wasn’t present for Wednesday’s concert due to being “very pregnant,” according to Parks. Emily Brown, normally a member of another

Provo band called the Porch Lights, is currently filling in during MacFarlane’s absence.

“We’ve been touring all summer long,” Parks said.

‘Hercules’ is schlocky but entertaining film LOS ANGELES (AP) — You’ll have to say one thing for Brett Ratner’s production of “Hercules”: This movie has a sense of proportion. Running just over 90 minutes, the movie is often clunky, but at least it’s fast and unpretentious. And its likable star, Dwayne Johnson, manages to murder legions without ever seeming sadistic. Less violent than “300,” less compelling than “Gladiator,” this new addition to the sword-and-sandals genre seems likely to please the fanboy audience and stir up some impressive box-office numbers.

The film begins by recounting the legend of Hercules, with snippets of his famous 12 labors. But this is not the Steve Reeves version of the tale.

treacherous and villains are more complex than first appearances suggest. There’s just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight con-

noisseurs of carnage.

(The movie’s PG-13 rating seems fairly lenient.)

One problem with these battle scenes is the frenetic editing, See FILM on Page 12

‘Lucy’ bests the mighty ‘Hercules’ Scarlett Johansson film takes in $44 million at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luc Besson’s “Lucy” proved mind can overpower muscle, topping a remake of “Hercules” by director Brett Ratner at the box office on the weekend.

The Universal Pictures movie starring Scarlett Johansson as an accidental psychokinetic took in $44 million in North American movie theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“Hercules,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and produced by Paramount Pictures and MetroGoldwyn-Mayer, brought down an estimated $29 million.

It’s those poignant moments in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” which allow the movie to excel on an entirely different plane compared to other Marvel fare. Like “The Watchmen” and Dr. Manhattan, “Guardians of the Galaxy” has a character who transcends the explosions, exposition and action scenes. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) is the star, but Groot (Vin Diesel) is the movie’s heart.

Groot is a living, breathing humanoid plant whose vocabulary consists of “I am Groot,” specifically in that order. That’s all he ever says, yet there are moments within the movie where he seems to be the most intelligent being on screen. There’s a scene where the Guardians are engulfed in darkness. Groot raises his arm and produces tiny light-emitting spores which float around the room, lighting the way.

With all the spaceships, lasers, explosions and scenes of destruction, it’s in these small moments where Groot reminds us that the organic universe will always be stronger than an artificially constructed one.

Working in perfect conjunction with the emotional grounding that Groot provides is the movie’s instantly

“Guardians” movie features a story that works as the team’s origin. A desperate group of loners and outcasts melding together to destroy a common enemy in Ronan. While the structure is fairly standard as far as Marvel movies go, it’s Gunn’s screenplay that keeps everything running as smoothly as possible.

Still, there’s not much the screenplay can do facts across the galaxy for Ronan, who is one for a price. Of course, of those overconfident, the artifact he finds at the beginning is the all-evil-all-the-time, most super-important monologue-obsessed universal artifact ever villains who can’t see found.

Logan Fine Art to host show Aiken During the month of August, the Logan Fine Art Gallery in downtown Logan will host the artworks of Joseph Alleman and Ernie Verdine — two of Utah’s finest watercolorists. A reception in their honor will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, during the 2nd Friday Gallery Walk.

For artist Alleman, an important motive to paint lies in understanding his surroundings.

“I’m visually compelled by various forms of shape, value, pattern, etc,” he says. “Through the process of painting, I gain new and deeper insight into my subject and its surroundings as

these elements combine and communicate.”

Working in both watercolor and oil, Alleman’s paintings have become

highly recognized and collected for their visionary portrayals of the American West. As a signature member of

both the American and National Watercolor Societies, he exhibits regularly through gallery, juried, and invitational shows, and has been a featured artist in the majority of contemporary fine art publications.

Residing in Northern Utah, Alleman finds a great deal of inspiration in the region’s land, towns and people which make it unique.

“There is a beauty within the everyday and ordinary that only painting can reveal,” he says. “I’m drawn to these subjects in hopes of making and sharing such discoveries.”

‘Brides’ hits the stage at Old Barn It’s seven times the fun at the Old Barn Community Theatre in Collinston from July 25 to Aug. 16. “Goin’ courting” has never been as much fun as in this riproaring adaptation of the classic 1954 film, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.”

Tickets for “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” are $8 for adults and $7 for children and seniors.

Family passes (up to 6 people) are available opening weekend for $25. Performances are July 25 to Aug. 16, Monday through Friday at 7:30 p.m, with matinees on Aug. 2 and 9 at 2:30 p.m.

For tickets, visit oldbarn.org, (435) 458-2276 or in person at

3605 Bigler Road in Collinston the night of the show.

“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” tells the story of Adam and his brothers’ pursuit for brides.

Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, goes to town to get a wife and convinces a young woman named Milly to marry him that same day. They return to his backwoods home, only for Milly to discover that all six of Adam’s brothers also live in the log cabin. She sets out to reform the ill-mannered siblings, who are anxious to get wives of their own.

Then, Adam develops an inspired solution to his brothers’ loneliness ... kidnap the women they

want!

Directed by Heather Gleason, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” features Devery Greene Jeppeson and Matt Jeppeson as Milly and Adam, who are at the center of this rambunctious musical love story.

The supporting cast includes Shannon Hooley (Martha), Scott Mason (Benjamin), Jared Higham (Gideon), Mati Downs (Sarah), Sylvia Newman (Dorcas), Emily Feuz (Alice), Joseph Wall (Ephraim), Jordan Larson (Caleb), Katherine Newman (Ruth), April Higham (Liza), Thomas Guest (Frank) and Michael Higham (Daniel).

He had some success as a fledgling artist through much of his early adult years, conducting workshops and teaching some classes in watercolor as he traveled and relocated to the many parts of the country where his military career took him. Verdine retired from the military service in 1992 and was able to devote full time to being an artist. He moved to Logan from Upstate New York that same year and

We’ll soon be headed to Arizona, and we’ve had a lot of Utah shows.

We’ve been bouncing around quite a bit.”

The National Parks kicked off Wednesday’s performance with “As We Ran,” a song that drew national attention to the trio when it was released back in February — just a year after the group was formed.

After coming across mention of the band on social media, the National Parks Conservation Association contacted Parks and Co. and asked them to pen a theme song for a new National Park Experience documentary entitled, “Love in the Tetons.”

“As We Ran” tells the story of a young couple that gets married in Grand Teton National Park, and The National Parks donated all proceeds earned from the single to the NPCA

“Africa.”

“It’s not our song; it’s your song,” Parks said when introducing The National Parks’ version of the No. 1 Billboard hit from 1983.

“Actually,” Sorenson clarified, “it’s Toto’s song.”

The National Parks, who took the stage at Old City Park following a short set by local opening act, Where the Rowdy Things Are, also sold CDs out the SUV they drove up from Utah Valley, and, for the first time, T-shirts and hats with The National Parks logo on them.

The group plans to play weekend shows through the fall while continuing to attend school at BYU before recording their sophomore album during the winter. The National Parks are scheduled to return to Cache Valley for a concert at Why Sound in Logan on Oct. 11.

‘Home Place’ a strong debut for La Seur Oline H. Cogdill Associated Press

Carrie La Seur’s finely crafted debut chronicles a woman’s complicated relationship with her hometown of Billings, Montana, her relatives who stayed behind and her ancestral history.

La Seur’s graceful prose in “The Home Place” complements her incisive character studies of a family that has managed to keep most of its problems behind closed doors.

Alma Terrebonne left Billings and the family’s “home place” more than 15 years ago to attend college on a full scholarship, shortly after her par-

zen to death. The single mother of 11-year-old Brittany, Vicky led a troubled life of drugs, bad boyfriends and debt.

Alma plans to arrange Vicky’s funeral, visit with her older brother, Pete, and her grandmother, and settle Brittany with her aunt and uncle who had raised Vicky after their parents’ death.

But Alma finds her family in disarray. A slimy land agent has been threatening local ents were killed in a car families, including the Terrebonnes, over minaccident that maimed her ing rights to their propyounger sister, Vicky. erties.

New Horizons coming to Logan in September 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. 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.

Founded in 1991 at the East-

man School of Music in Rochester, New York, by Roy Ernst, the New Horizons concept is now an international organization.

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

Come meet the directors, pick up a required music lis and learn about rental/purchase options. For more information, call Patty Bartholomew at (435) 227-5556 or visit cachearts.org.

when it appears that Vicky’s death wasn’t an accident.

La Seur poignantly shows how characters are influenced by a sense of place, affecting their choices in life.

The Montana land that makes up “the home place” has been owned by the Terrebonnes for generations, representing all that the family was, what it will be and what it struggles with now. No one lives on the property, yet no one wants to sell the homestead. This home place, about an hour from Billings, is a refuge as well as a place of contention, paralleling the Terrebonnes’ lives.

“The Home Place” is one of the year’s strongest debuts.

The American Festival Chorus and Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre announce a concert entitled Best of Beethoven as part of Utah State University’s Summer Choral Workshop at 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 6, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

“Best of Beethoven is the culmination of Utah State’s Caine College of the Arts 2014 Summer Choral Workshop, and is

our fourth season of providing professional training for choral musicians and educators throughout the country,” says Craig Jessop, musical director of the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. “Supported by both the American Festival Chorus and the famed Utah Festival Chorus and Orchestra, Best of Beethoven is an opportunity for students, highly skilled amateurs

and professional musicians to come together and perform some of the greatest choral works ever composed.”

Tickets are $10 to $40 and can be purchased at the Utah Festival Box Office in the Dansante Building at 59 S. 100 West, by calling 7500300 or online at www. utahfestival.org.

Best of Beethoven features a performance of four of Ludwig van

Beethoven’s beloved choral works: Hallelujah from Christ on the Mount of Olives, Choral Fantasy, Sanctus Benedictus from Missa Solemnis and the fourth movement of Symphony #9 – Ode to Joy. “We’ll be commemorating the glory of the titan of composers,” says Michael Ballam, UFOMT’s founding director. “Listeners will delight in a smorgasbord

of Beethoven’s best and most beloved music.”

This year’s choral selection celebrates Beethoven’s genius as a composer, as well as the humanistic traits he delivers in his musical works. Hallelujah is the final chorus of Christ on the Mount of Olives and is, perhaps, one of the most recognizable pieces of music he composed. Choral Fantasy’s quirkiness has earned

a reputation of being an adored musical and the Sanctus Benedictus is considered by some to be the most beautiful piece from Missa Solemnis. And no tribute to Beethoven would be complete without the Ode to Joy from his Symphony #9, adapted from a poem written by Friedrich Schiller.

Continued from Page 9 Whether the lyrics are relatable or off-the-wall, Cox says punk, for many, is a gateway into the local music scene.

“I think most kids are getting into local stuff about the time they start picking up a guitar,” Cox says, “and teenage angst and complete lack of talent usually leads you to punk rock.”

Punk rock’s simplicity might make it easier for people to start playing, but that doesn’t mean everyone who plays it lacks talent, Allen says.

“Just because it’s punk, doesn’t mean the musicians can’t play the instruments,” Paul Cox of The Cotton Ponies holds his guitar during a rehearsal with his bandmates last week in North Allen says. “Sid Vicious was Logan.

“You mean besides the fact that nobody cares?” Cook says when put to the question in an interview, and the bandmates played off his half-joke.

“You play to the same seven people every time?” Cox says.

“That the audience is made up of other bands?” Cook says.

“Shows here are kind of weird,” Herrero says. “You’ll have three bands playing. The first group of kids shows up for the band they want to see, and then they leave, then the next group of kids comes in and they leave — and you’re like, why don’t you just stick around for the whole show?”

Come Saturday night, whether they’re playing to a packed house or just to the other bands on the bill, you can expect raw, straightforward punk rock from The Cotton Ponies.
