FROM THE EDITOR Let’s see. At sea level, the speed of sound is just over 761 miles per hour. That’s pretty fast. However, the speed of light is about 671 million miles per hour. That is, well, incomprehensible. But somewhere in between the speed of sound and the speed of light is something else unbelievably fast: the speed of summer. Seriously. I can remember thinking on Memorial Day that the Fourth of July would be here before I knew it. Now the Fourth of July was more than a month
ago, and Labor Day is fast approaching. It’s hard to believe that the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre will be presenting its final handful of shows of the summer this weekend, while the Old Lyric Repertory Company has already wrapped up its summer season. The classic vehicles of the Cache Valley Cruise-In and the band named after a classic vehicle (that’s REO Speedwagon in case you were wondering, not ’77 Gremlin) are long gone. And even the good folks at Pickleville Playhouse at Bear Lake only have one full week of shows left before scaling back to weekend productions. It doesn’t seem that long ago that Cache Valley also hosted the Festival of the American West over the span of two
weekends around the end of July and the first of August. If you weren’t around in those days, it’s rather hard to envision the Old West taking over a big chunk of the Utah State University campus, but it was a fun, educational and very ambitious event that I still miss a little bit each summer. Fortunately, this week’s cover story is about a reunion recently held in Paradise for participants from the festival’s pageant, “The West: America’s Odyssey.” It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years since the final Festival of the American West. But they say that time flies ... and it definitely flies even faster during a summer in Cache Valley. — Jeff Hunter
CGI version doesn’t live up to ‘TMNT’ of the past

“Guardians of the Galaxy” fed off of its peculiar humor and the likability of its characters. The standard Marvel plot was overshadowed by the screenplay’s willingness to embrace the weirdness and roll with it. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is the antithesis of Marvel’s breakout hit.

of levity to the more intense scenes. Oh, and don’t forget the senseless ogling of the pretty lead actress at the most eye-rollingly inopportune times. “TMNT” has that ever-familiar Michael Bay stench even if he wasn’t technically the one calling the shots behind the camera. As you probably know, the turtles are complete CGI creations. Gone are the days of actors dressed up in awkward, unwieldy costumes. These computer-generated vigilante reptiles are much more agile than their early ’90s counterparts. Yet, with all that agility and highoctane potential, the action scenes come off as incomprehensible as anything witnessed in the “Transformers” movies. It’s a digital mess of hand-to-hand combat that makes little sense. In one See NINJA on Page 11

Old Ephraim storytelling
Nearly 91 years ago, Old Ephraim, the last reported grizzly bear to roam the mountains of Utah, was shot dead in the Logan Canyon area. The Cache Valley Center for the Arts is hosting a storytelling of that fabled piece of local folklore by professional storyteller Daniel Bishop on the anniversary of the death of Old Ephraim. Bishop will share the story of the great grizzly at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at the Thatcher-Young Mansion. Admission is $10 per person. Tickets are available at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts box office at 43 S. Main St., by calling 752-0026 or by visiting cachearts.org. Bishop quickly mesmerizes his audiences with the simple use of voice and gesture. He is a theater graduate of Utah State University and draws upon his formal training to transport audiences into the vivid depths of imagination, bringing his stories magically to life. The audience at the ThatcherYoung Mansion can expect to live the experiences of Old Eph and Frank Clark as they dance the fatal tango of natural predator and shepherd farmer. The story of Old Ephriam is appropriate for the family, but it will include sequences that might be too intense for children under the age of 8.

‘If These Walls Could Talk’ debuts tonight New pageant to benefit the restoration of Preston icon When a grandfather trying to connect to his digitally-minded grandson, a father hoping to inspire his rambunctious young family and a young man in love trying to share a meaningful secret with his sweetheart unexpectedly meet in the Oneida Stake Academy building, they discover that sometimes walls can talk. The Oneida Stake Academy Cultural Center debuts its first ever musical pageant at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, and Saturday, Aug. 9, at 90 E. Oneida St. in Preston. “If These Walls Could Talk” is a clever musical written by local writer Cecelie Costley. Director Dani Dunn of Franklin brings together professional music written by renowned composer Tyler Castleton, snappy dancing choreographed by Paula Lemmon, Taessia King and Autumn Coats and local voices under the direction of chorister Karla Gundersen. There will also be colorful costumes assembled by Pat Moses and Glenda Swainston and Joe Ward’s horses and antique cars gathered by Doug West for a wonderful evening of song, dance and storytelling the whole family will enjoy. The elegant 124-year-old Oneida Stake Academy build-

The production involves dozens and dozens of local actors, dancers, costume directors, prop and scenery builders, musicians, staging, light and sound experts, singers, make-up artists and committee members. “I am thrilled about the storyline and music,” says Oneida Stake Academy Foundation board member, Necia Seamons, who has been dreaming about the idea of a pageant since the OSAF
was formed a decade ago. “Cecelie, Tyler and Dani have captured the essence of the academy’s story to be able to share it in an entertaining and uplifting manner. We are thrilled to share the production with the descendants and beneficiaries of the people who built the magnificent Oneida Stake Academy building 124 years ago.” On the evenings of the performance, the public is invited to bring a donation to help with the building’s restoration as a cultural center/museum of local history.

er animation is capable of when given the proper budget. Take out the characters entirely and package “Into the Storm” as a tornado simulator theme park ride, and I think they’re onto something. It’s the fact that the movie continuously brings us back to the dead-end stories of the residents of this tiny town that make it nearly unwatchable. Sure, we need something to ground us, but these people are just the worst. You’ll find yourself rooting for the tornadoes to suck them up into the great oblivion just so you don’t have to hear them whimper about their color-by-numbers sadsack backstories. At one point a tornado sucks up Propane (I think) from a damaged tank. It lights on fire, forming a spinning fiery whirlwind of doom. It’s in that moment, where all is right with the world. “Into the Storm” doesn’t have many of those moments, but that’s one of them. And it’s as glorious as it sounds.

Disaster movies. They pop up now and then, but since the genre’s brief revival in the late ‘90s, they’ve been consigned to the low-budget fate of the SyFy Channel. “Into the Storm” is essentially a SyFy movie of the week, with a multi-million dollar special effects budget. An utterly ridiculous super-storm premise with some rather neat computer-generated effects. I think I lost count around 10 or 12 tornadoes. “Into the Storm” isn’t interested in pesky science or anything resembling meteorology. Like “Twister” on PEDs, “Into the Storm” braves the first 15 minutes of dreadful character building, to unleash a string of CGI destruction that is as awe-inspiring as it is downright comical. When a humongous “we’ve never seen anything like this,” tornado starts picking up 747s like paper airplanes, tossing them into nearby air traffic control towers, it’s hard not to smile just a little. “Into the Storm” makes one fatal mistake, though: thinking we care about any of the poor people inhabiting

Cast and crew members who helped present “The West: America’s Odyssey” at the Festival of the American West over a 30-year period gathered together for a reunion in Paradise last Saturday. Attendees included: Gina DeBloois and her 6-year-old daughter, Marie (top left); Gerald R. Sherratt, who wrote the original script (in hat); and Sid Perkes, who directed the pageant 19 times (with glasses).
Old friends gathered together last Saturday night in Paradise to re-establish friendships formed while working to put on a popular pageant at the annual Festival of the American West. For three decades, “The West: America’s Odyssey” recreated scenarios in which people would find themselves in the Old West. Laurie Jackson, organizer of the reunion, said she was involved with the festival for 17 years, and she grew to feel at home in the atmosphere found there. “Through the ’80s, it pretty much defined who I was,” Jackson said. “The people in it became this core group of family. Even this many years later, this time of year I feel like I should be up at the Spectrum right now.” The Festival of the American West used to be held directly south of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on the HPER fields at Utah State University. For about 10 days each summer, an Old West street would emerge, including such displays as an ice cream shop, a saloon and a telegraph office, as well as shops for artisans such as a blacksmith and woodwright. There would also be a Native American camp with people weaving, sand painting and
making beads. Jackson said she also recalls a told Chinese horoscopes, representing the Ch ence from railroad workers. A variety of activities would be held through such as the Jim Bridger Competition, where p different Cache Valley communities would co things like sawing logs. Later, there would be oven cook-off, and anticipants would stage a s “People came from all over the world for it, said of the Festival of the American West.

Hosack-Meacham added that it soon became a family affair when her children got older. It taught them about both history and performing arts. She said two of her daughters went on to dance with the American Folk Ballet, in part because of the pageant where they were introduced to the group. She also said her kids were able to impress history teachers by their knowledge of Western history. But she, like Jackson, felt those who helped produce “The West: America’s Odyssey” did more than put on a show. “I didn’t have much of a family growing up, and this became a family,” Hosack-Meacham said. “We had cast parties in our backyard forever. We’re just friends. All the kids were the same age.” Hosack-Meacham said for years, she took her vacation from work during the Festival of the American West so they could be there. Paula Zsiray of Logan said she was only involved as a cast member one year, but she remembered the event as
a “nice cooperative effort” between the university and community. Heidi Munk, who was involved along with her family in the pageant for five years, said participating in the pageant led to her and her relatives understanding specific parts of history better than they would have if they hadn’t taken on the roles they did. In its later years, the Festival of the American West was moved to the Jensen Historical Farm — now known as the American West Heritage Center — in Wellsville. The pageant ran there from 1998 until it was discontinued in 2002. Jackson and Meacham said the group of pageant participants has had many members pass away since the production was discontinued, which Meacham said is “like losing a relative.” That was a big reason of why they decided to get together for a reunion. Jackson said she was pleased with the turnout, which included notable attendees such as Gerald R. Sherratt, who helped found the Festival of the American West and wrote the script for “The West: America’s Odyssey,” and Sid Perkes, who served as director of the pageant for 19 years.

I was going to wait until New Year’s to make this resolution, but I thought I’d get a head start. I’m probably the only person you know who is professing to start exercising less. Do I have the willpower to do it? We’ll see. I know this sounds like I’m just being contrarian, but I work from the premise that there is no such thing as a positive addition. There is addiction on one end of the scale and free will on the other end. In the middle there be dragons. Exercise just happens to be one of those addictions that gets you positive reinforcement, while most other addictions erode your health and/ or land you in jail. You can, however, become a prisoner of exercise if you are sucked too far to the addiction end of the continuum.

To that end, I’m not planning to go cold turkey or reshape myself into a sumo wrestler physique; I just want to steal a little time from working out to do other things such as walk the dog, make lawn art or write better columns.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ blows up at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Guardians of the Galaxy” blasted past expectations at the weekend box office. Marvel Studios’ cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista as members of an intergalactic band of rebels earned $94 million in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Ahead of its Friday debut, box office analysts initially projected that the comic book adaptation would earn between $60 million and $75 million in North America. The out-of-this-world launch gives “Guardians” the biggest opening for a film released in the traditionally lowkey month of August, a record previously held by the $69.2 million debut of 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum.” It also makes “Guardians” the third largest opening of 2014, coming behind the $95 million inauguration of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in April and the $100 million launch of “Transformers: Age of Extinction” in June. “Guardians,” which also features Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel voicing the computer-generated characters Rocket

Despite any apprehension, Marvel was betting on “Guardians,” written and directed by “Slither” filmmaker James Gunn, to be a blockbuster. The studio announced at Comic-Con in San Diego last month that a sequel is already set for release in 2017. Marvel’s next films are the follow-up “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Ant-Man” starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas. Both movies are coming in 2015. In a distant second place at the North American box office, “Lucy,” starring Scarlett Johansson as a woman with mind-bending powers, nabbed $18.3 million in its second weekend, bringing the Universal Pictures release’s domestic total to $80 million.

Books Book tracks insurgence that lifted Reagan By Michael Hill Associated Press
Even Republicans piled on President Richard Nixon as the Watergate scandal wore on. But not California Gov. Ronald Reagan. He said Watergate was being “blown out of proportion” and was “none of my business.” Rick Perlstein writes that incredulous reporters thought Reagan was acting like a “genial ostrich” ignoring the looming reckoning for American government. Ostrich or no, Reagan’s point of view resonated with people — or at least some people. “There were two tribes in America now,” Perlstein writes early in the book. And Reagan spoke powerfully to one of those tribes: the ones who were organizing around grievances like forced busing, the
ones who had the sense that the orderly America they loved was receding. “The Invisible Bridge” is the story of “the rightwing insurgency bubbling barely beneath the surface” through the mid ‘70s. And it’s the story of the national rise of the politician who benefited the most from that insurgency. Perlstein wrote about Sen. Barry Goldwater and the rise of modern
American conservatism in “Before the Storm” and continued his political and cultural history with “Nixonland.” This third book ends with Reagan’s narrow loss to President Gerald Ford at the 1976 Republican convention, which served as a marker to how far the conservative movement had come in a generation. To call this book rich in anecdotes is an understatement. Perlstein adopts a you-are-there narrative that gives the reader a sense of what average Americans took in during the turbulent period from Watergate to the 1976 elections. Readers learn about Nixon and Reagan, sure, but also about the onlyin-the-’70s phenomena like EST workshops, in which people paid $250 to have insults screamed at them. The account of John Dean’s televised
Watergate testimony includes both blow-byblow details and a snippet from the commercial aired during the hearing for Final Net (“So you finally got little Jamie married!”). Reagan fans looking for a heroic tale will be disappointed. Perlstein’s default mode is irreverence, and his Reagan is a storyteller who does not let the messy complexity of reality get in the way of simple answers. He calls the future president an “athlete of denial.” Democrat Jimmy Carter fares no better here. Perlstein portrays him as an opportunistic candidate happy to tell people what they want to hear. At more than 800 pages, the narrative bogs down during the Watergate hearings and in some other places. But the mini-biography of Reagan nestled in the pages is a page turner, as
new york times best-sellers HARDCOVER FICTION 1. “The Heist” by Daniel Silva 2. “The Book of Life” by Deborah Harkness 3. “Tom Clancy: Support and Defend” by Mark Greaney 4. “A Perfect Life” by Danielle Steel 5. “The Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt HARDCOVER NONFICTION 1. “America” by Dinesh D’Souza 2. “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand 3. “Blood Feud” by Edward Klein 4. “One Nation” by Ben Carson with Candy Carson 5. “Hard Choices” by Hillary Rodham Clinton
is Perlstein’s climactic account of the nail-biter presidential nominating convention in 1976. Ford won the nomination but Reagan won the hearts of many Republicans who wondered if they had just launched the wrong candidate into the general election.
Even Reagan couldn’t please everyone, though. Perlstein writes that Goldwater, Mr. Conservative himself, complained that Reagan had become “one of those people, the really ideological ones who won’t change.”
Miranda Corbie confronts her ‘City of Ghosts’ By Oline H. Cogdill Associated Press
A love of San Francisco — its flaws, strengths and eccentricities — permeates Kelli Stanley’s intriguing novels about private detective Miranda Corbie. Stanley’s novels capture San Francisco — and the United States — in the years just before World War II. War has been on Miranda’s mind since she was a nurse in the Spanish Civil War. In “City of Ghosts,” set during 1940, Miranda cautiously watches what’s hap-
pening in London, especially when it appears that her long-lost mother may be living in England. The private detective has little hope that she could bring her mother back to the United States until James MacLeod, an agent with the State Department, enlists her help. He wants her to investigate Huntington Jasper, a chemistry professor suspected of being a spy for the Nazis. The U.S. won’t acknowledge Miranda’s assignment if she’s caught, but the job comes with hefty pay and a ticket to England.
Miranda’s case leads her to dealers specializing in artworks stolen by the Nazis from their Jewish owners. Complications arise when Miranda is implicated in a series of murders, including that of a wealthy client and an acquaintance. Stanley keeps the novel on a brisk course as Miranda confronts her own city of ghosts, including a dysfunctional childhood, her stint as a prostitute for one of San Francisco’s top madams and the people whose deaths still haunt her. Fiercely independent during a time when that
wasn’t in fashion, Miranda continues to be a true survivor. Stanley’s affection for San Francisco establishes a strong sense of place and time in “City of Ghosts.” It is, Miranda muses, “A city made by dreamers who died paupers and paupers who lived like kings, dreams keeping them alive in the only way that mattered.” The author’s clear-eyed view of San Francisco and of Miranda’s character adds to the strength of the novel’s engrossing historical fiction.
“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
“Vintage Green” by Joseph Alleman
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.” Verdine was born in a small town in central Missouri in 1945. 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 settled into a historic home on 200 East. Once all the children had moved away from home, Verdine and his wife were each able to maintain a working studio in the upstairs rooms of their two-story brick home, along with all the antique furniture they have gathered from many years of residing on the East Coast and the Midwest. His wife, Sharon, is an accomplished textile artist who develops and makes wonderful hooked rugs. Verdine is primarily a landscape artist of the Northern Utah mountains and scenery around Cache Valley.
Annual Celebrate America Show set for Sept. 2-6
Once in a great while you experience an event that leaves you thoroughly entertained, loving life and thrilled to be an American. This year’s Celebrate America Show does just that — and more. To celebrate 15 years of big-band shows that have earned the title of “The premier big band show in the Intermountain West,” the show will take the audience on a star-spangled sentimental journey back in time. This year’s production runs Sept. 2-6 in the Evan Stevenson Ballroom at Utah State University. There’s no better way to impress your boss, reward employees or dazzle a date. Make it a
group event; bring friends and reserve your own table. Tickets are available for show and dance only, or the full package with dinner, show and dance. Group rates available for the Tuesday and Wednesday shows. Don’t wait. Call (435) 5537333 or visit celebrateamericashow. com today. This year’s production features the talented Stardust Singers and Dancers, along with ballroom dancers from Enlight Studios and the ever-popular Larry Smith Orchestra. Drummer Ned Smith will fly in from Washington to dazzle audiences with his highlycharged rendition of “Sing, Sing, Sing.”
Music includes “Ragtime,” “Willamania,” “Stout-Hearted Men” and “Paper Doll,” plus big band hits: “In The Mood,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Stardust,” “I’ve Got A Gal in Kalamazoo,” “Elmer’s Tune” and many others. Celebrate America Show founder Brenda Anthony says, “It’s a dynamite show that explodes with excitement and yet leaves you with a tender message of gratitude for the U.S.A. Where else does one ticket price give you three events: A delicious dinner, spectacular Broadway-style show and after-dinner, 1940s supper-club-style entertainment with a full band, singers and dance? That’s what makes the
Celebrate America Show unique and we’re going all out for our 15-year anniversary.” Each year the military anthems are a highlight of the show. This year Celebrate America adds an additional patriotic salute to four local veterans of World War II who will be presented with the Freeman Award in memory of longtime show supporter Col. Von Freeman. The 15-year anniversary also begins a new partnership with Utah’s Honor Flight, an organization that makes it possible for veterans to visit the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C.
Tickets available for the 2014-15 CVCA season Tickets are on sale now for the 2014-15 season of entertainment at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The upcoming season is a combination of two great series, the Marquee Series and the Family Series. The Family Series is a collection of three shows that provide family-friendly entertainment at a family-friendly price. The
shows in the Family Series will offer amazing talent on stage at prices that will allow families to bring the entire troupe down to the theater. Ticket prices and information about each show can be found at cachearts.org or call the box office at 752-0026. On Oct. 20, the first show in the 2014-15 Family Series will be Dallas Brass,
the national touring brass ensemble that will perform with local band students at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Dallas Brass has been touring in the United States for over 30 years. The company will come to Cache Valley before its performance and work with local band students. The local students will then be afforded the opportunity to
perform in part with Dallas Brass on stage. On Feb. 20, the second show in the Family Series will be “Laura Ingalls Wilder: Growing up on the Prairie,” an entertaining and insightful look into the life of a pioneer girl and her family as they moved West to find a place to call home. The musical is designed for grades 2-6, mak-
ing it the perfect show for the entire family. 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.
