FROM THE EDITOR This column is both personal and professional.

The professional portion is in regards to the West Yellowstone News, which will close its doors today. A small weekly newspaper based in West Yellowstone, Montana, the WYN is owned by Pioneer News Group, the same Seattle-based company that owns The Herald Journal. Due to a lack of advertising revenue, it was decided that the WYN would cease operations as of Sept. 2, leaving several people out of work and a wonderful little community

without a newspaper.

While the closing of the West Yellowstone News connects with me as a journalist that works for the same organization, it makes me even more sad because I grew up with Yellowstone National Park as practically my backyard. A native of Idaho Falls, my family was fortunate enough to have a cabin in the Island Park area, just about 15 miles away from West Yellowstone, so I usually got to see a copy of the couple of the WYN a couple of times a year.

In fact, long ago, I had an opportunity to take over the West Yellowstone News myself. I figured I could live at the cabin and commute — sometimes by snowmobile in the winter. However, I reluctantly turned down the opportunity, partly

because I was covering USU basketball at the time, and the Aggies were heading to tournament in Maui about the same time I would have been settling in for a very, very long winter along the Idaho/Montana border.

Through the years, I’ve sometimes wondered if I made the right decision — usually on a warm summer day in Yellowstone National Park, of course.

So, while it’s hard to see the West Yellowstone News go, the publication is at least going out with a bang. Visit the WYN’s website and Facebook page to see editor Jeremy Weber’s night photos of the big forest fires going on in the area right now, and you’ll understand what I mean.

Samonsky will speak, perform at annual event Part concert. Part interview.

All free. This year’s “The Road to Broadway,” presented

by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts, features Broadway actor Andrew Samonsky.

“The Road to Broadway” begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, in the Caine Performance Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

“Andrew has carried some huge shows,” said Jason Spelbring, an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre Arts at USU. “We are really lucky to get a Broadway actor of this caliber to talk to our students and entertain our community. We’re honored to have him as a guest of the Caine College of the Arts.”

Samonsky holds his undergraduate degree in vocal performance from CS Northridge, and his MFA in acting from UC Irvine. He recently played Robert in the first national tour of Jason Robert Brown’s Tony

Broadway actor Andrew Samonsky is the 2016 guest for “The Road to Broadway” hosted by USU’s Department of Theatre Arts in the Caine College of the Arts.

Award-winning musical “The Bridges of Madison County.”

“Through the grants I have received from the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation-Russell Family, the Tanner Chari-

table Trust and differential tuition, I want to expand my classroom beyond my majors and provide something to the whole community,” Spelbring said. “We also invite local high

schools and other theater and music classes. When you’re able to expand your teaching beyond the classroom, the learning happens in other areas.”

Since Samonsky holds his undergraduate degree in vocal performance, his approach to musical theater is classicalbased. To have him here to talk about that career transition and comparisons between a vocal performance major and a theater major is exciting, Spelbring said.

“We have one of the most beautiful performing arts centers in this area,” Spelbring said about the Caine Performance Hall. “To be able to utilize it and bring people to see it is great. It’s remarkable that our artists don’t have any assistance from a microphone and everyone can still hear them.”

Spelbring and Samonsky were classmates at UCI. “We launched our careers at the exact same time,” Spelbring said. “We stayed close and it’s lovely that all these years later I can reach out to Andrew and he now has a career that warrants him being a guest for the Road to Broadway series.”

USU museum opens new ‘Lighting the Fire’ exhibit The exhibition “Lighting the Fire: Ceramics Education in the American West” is on display at Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University. Drawing upon NEHMA’s important collection of 20th century ceramic objects, “Lighting the Fire” examines the significant contributions of potters who taught in universities and studios in

advancing the medium of clay in the American West.

An opening reception for “Lighting the Fire” will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, featuring a gallery talk with exhibition guest curator Mathew Limb, a Windgate Museum intern. The exhibition will be on display at the university through Dec. 10 The exhibition surveys the

work of more than 20 ceramic artists who, through their teaching philosophies, inspired generations of students to push the boundaries of the medium. The works presented illustrate how these innovative educators positioned clay as a fine art medium in the mid-20th century.

“Lighting the Fire explores the importance of educators in

the development of the ceramic arts,” Limb said. “Celebrating individuals from diverse backgrounds, this exhibition showcases how through experimentation, community and collaboration they challenged the art/craft binary and elevated clay as a respected medium of fine art.”

A native of Utah, Limb is currently a doctoral candidate

in the Department of Art and Architecture at UC Santa Barbara.

Admission to the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art is free and open to the public. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and by appointment.

HERE’S MUD IN YOUR EYE Paradise residents get down and dirty during annual Trout & Berry Days volleyball tourney

As the third game of the annual mud volleyball tournament in Paradise was coming to a close last Saturday afternoon, one spectator simply couldn’t take it anymore. There were simply too many pristine, perfectly white T-shirts still out on the court.

“You’re being way too careful!” she yelled. “Get in the mud!”

One of the final events of Trout and Berry Days, the tournament is one of the highlights of the small town’s summerending celebration. And while many of the participants managed to walk away with only muddy feet and a few speckles of mud sprinkled about their face and clothes, there were a few who embraced the opportunity to get down and dirty on a very warm afternoon.

“Dude! The kid flippin’ like pushed me over, so I was already muddy,” explained 16-year-old Chet Major, who was covered in mud nearly from head to toe by the end of his team’s run. “At that point, I might as well stay muddy.”

The winning team, unofficially known as the Albino Rhinos, seemed to be a little embarrassed that they

weren’t muddy enough by the end of the tournament. Anchored by Sylas Wells, who won a state wrestling championship at the 220-pound level as a Mountain Crest Mustand in 2012, the Rhinos ended up celebrating their title by — what else? — wrestling each other in the mud.

Of course, some of the Rhinos went quite reluctantly, particularly Wells’ wife, Katie, and Trinity Anderson, the other female on the team. And somewhere in the midst of the celebratory clash, Skyler Tolbert also took a shot to the nose, mixing bright red blood with dark brown mud.

“He about murdered me!” Tolbert said of friend/teammate Simeon Wells.

Fortunately for everyone, there was an irrigation ditch located just a halfblock away from the volleyball court, allowing participants a cool way to clean up prior to the annual trout dinner in the Paradise Town Square.

“It’s fun,” said Major, who has now played in five mud volleyball tournaments. “And even if you don’t win, you can get other people muddy.”

Top, teams compete in the annual Trout and Berry Days mud volleyball tournament in Paradise. Above, Katie Wells desperately tries to keep her head out of the mud. Below, two teammates battle for a dig.

This is a complicated drama. What Cianfrance does with this adaption is he allows the main characters room to develop. Each of their motives are different and it’s important we understand them.

Even within the allotted feature-length film runtime, he makes the film feel like a novel. We grow to know these characters as intimately as we would if we followed them through 300 pages.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of Cianfrance’s adaption is that it so easily could venture into sappy territory, but it never does. He highlights the pain of these characters without diminishing it with any phony sentimentality. Yes, the tears you may end up shedding during “The Light Between Oceans” will be wellearned ones.

‘Don’t Breathe’ takes out ‘Suicide Squad’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — The horror movie “Don’t Breathe” has reason to let out a big sigh of relief. Audiences turned out in droves for the late summer thriller, which brought in $26.1 million, according to studio estimates released Sunday.

That’s more than double the early predictions for how the scary pic would perform and far above the modest production budget, which was reportedly less than $10 million. Stage 6 Films produced and Sony’s Screen Gems oversaw distribu-

tion.

“Don’t Breathe” is about a group of Detroit teens who chose the wrong house to rob — that of a blind, vengeful veteran. It stars Jane Levy and Dylan Minnette and was directed by Fede Alvarez, who is known for the “Evil Dead” remake.

Sony Pictures Marketing Chief Josh Greenstein noted how rare it was for a film in this genre to have resonated so deeply with critics. The current Rotten Tomatoes score is a very fresh 87 percent. It also continues Sony’s

summer of seeing successes with original films that cost very little to make.

“This marks a string of very profitable hits for Sony with very modest budgets. ‘The Shallows,’ ‘Sausage Party’ and now ‘Don’t Breathe’ were all incredibly profitable because they were made for modest budgets and did incredibly well at the box office,” Greenstein said.

It’s also the latest horror success for Hollywood this summer, which has seen films like “Lights Out,” ‘’The Conjuring 2,” and “The

Purge: Election Year” thrive while their bigger budget, spectacledriven counterparts flailed.

“Don’t Breathe” effectively unseated “Suicide Squad” from its three week run atop the box office. This weekend, the comic book film “Suicide Squad” grossed $12.1 million, bringing its domestic total to $282.9 million.

Laika’s “Kubo and the Two Strings” took third place in its second weekend in theaters with $7.9 million. The $60 million film has now earned $24.8 million domestically.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Director Derek Cianfrance excels at capturing tactile grief. His previous movies, “Blue Valentine” and “The Place Beyond the Pines,” were each studies in different kinds of grief; the former about dealing with lost love, the latter about losing a loved one. His stories aren’t new, but they sure seem to get to the heart of the drama without coming across as silly or falsely sentimental.

“The Light Between Oceans” is an adaption of M.L. Stedman’s novel of the same name. It’s just after World War I and Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) has returned home. He spent the war fighting in the trenches, and his personality reflects that. He’s a stoic figure. He doesn’t talk much. He seems to be fighting another war inside himself.

Tom is now a lighthouse keeper living off the coast of Australia when he falls madly in love with Isabel Graysmark (Alicia Vikander).

They get married and move to the island where Tom mans the lighthouse.

Brigham City Museum hosting Peach Days exhibit Brigham City’s annual Peach Days is not as noisy as the National Hollerin’ event in North Carolina, or as wacky as the yearly tomato fight in Spain, or as novel as the underwater music festival in the Florida Keys, but it always features a beloved, pictorial display of fruit on the grounds of the old Box

Elder County Courthouse.

The Brigham City Museum of Art and History’s contribution to this year’s harvest celebration is the photography exhibit “Peach Days Through the Years” on view Sept. 6 through Sept. 28. Admission is free.

The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West. Hours are

Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.

For further information, please phone (435) 226-1439 or visit brighamcitymuseum. org.

Because Peach Days has the distinction of being the longest, continually celebrated, harvest festival in Utah and

is reported to be the second oldest in the United States, many photos have been taken and memorabilia collected since its inauguration in 1904, then donated to the museum.

On display in the exhibit are images of past fruit displays; parades, including many floats; Peach Days’ royalty; bathing beauties vying for

the title of Peach Queen; and special guests, notably Native Americans in ceremonial regalia.

The popularity of Peach Days fostered other local festivals and fairs, and photos of these special occasions as well as some county and state events are also on view in the exhibit.
