FROM THE EDITOR I have to hand it to our local libraries, they’re always trying to come up with new ways to go about doing things. And the Logan Library, in particular, seems to roll out a new program or a new actitvity just about every month. So, in addition to attending the Hispanic Heritage Festival (featuring “authentic Salvadoran food” and a whole lot more from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.); the Monday Night Movie (it’s “Center Stage” this Monday at 6:30 p.m.); Teen Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. (“Game On!” with a
large selection of video games); and Helicon West Open Mic Night (Thursday at 7 p.m., featuring essayist Patrick Madden this week), you can now “Book A Librarian” through the Logan Library. Described as “a new system of oneon-one learning experiences,” you can use Book A Librarian to “ask about how to use e-resources, basic genealogy research, understanding the library’s website, or any other question that may take time and attention to answer.” In order to sign up to Book A Librarian, one goes online to library.loganutah.org/ bookalibrarian and fills out a request form that allows you put down a preferred day and time, as well as select something you would like help in learning more about,
including: computer basics, 3D printers, Facebook, genealogy research and Microsoft Office software. The request form will then be reviewed by the library, and a librarian who specializes in a certain area will then reach out to the applicant to set up an appointment. It’s easy to see this being an appealing learning opportunity for anyone in need of increasing their knowledge in regard to a number of different technologies. So, if you’re interested, call the information desk at 716-9120 or visit the library’s website. Book A Librarian went live on Thursday, so the best time is probably right now. — Jeff Hunter

USU presents Jazz Vespers at St. John’s The Utah State University Department of Music in the Caine College of the Arts and the Aggie Music Project, the CCA’s faculty jazz band, are featured in Jazz Vespers at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, at St. John’s Episcopal Church. The musical prayer service is a simple, Compline service (no communion, no offertory). Jazz Vespers is a well-established and flexible term for jazz events held
within a church setting. “The Compline service is one of four Daily Offices, or prayer services in the Episcopal or Anglican tradition that occur at designated times, with Compline being the last one of the day,” said Steve Sturgeon, St. John’s vicar. “The custom of praying at regular intervals during the day follows the pattern used in monasteries.” Sturgeon said many Episcopal cathedrals in the
United States host a weekly sung evening prayer service called Evensong. “There will be a reception following the service, where musicians and attendees will be invited to mingle and chat,” Sturgeon said. “We’re looking forward to having the service again. The response from both the parish and the community was phenomenal last time.” The Aggie Music Project includes Dani Armour
(vocals), Max Matzen (trumpet), Greg Wheeler (saxes), Lane Weaver (trombone), Jon Gudmundson (saxes), Kevin Olson (keys), Corey Christiansen (guitar), Jim Schaub (bass) and Jason Nicholson (drums). Jazz Vespers at St. John’s Episcopal Church is free and open to the public, however donations are accepted. For more information, call 797-8022 or visit cca.usu.edu.

Limerick set to speak at annual history lecture Hair-raising tales from government workers and clerks? Yes, according to Patty Limerick, American West historian, author, teacher and the featured guest for the 2016 Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture in Logan. Limerick presents “Hair-Raising Tales from the Department of the Interior” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, at the Logan Tabernacle. The lecture is free and open to the public. The Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture is sponsored by USU Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries; the Leonard J. Arrington Lecture and Archives Foundation; the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and Utah State University. “We are honored to have Dr. Patricia Limerick deliver the Arrington Lecture this year,” said Ross Peterson, a member of the Arrington Foundation board and well-known writer, historian and Utah State University administrator. “As an award-winning historian, she presents a unique and refreshing analysis of what government servants do and feel as they work for the common good. This distinguished scholar is one of the great historians of the American West and her topic fits well with much of Leonard Arrington’s research and writing.” Leonard Arrington, the namesake of the lecture series, was a well-known historian and author and an economist. The “how and why” of Western development were important to him. The annual lecture honors Arrington, whose papers were donated to Special Collections and Archives, a division in USU’s University Libraries.
France of fall salons. In these salons, French artists showed their works. It gave new prestige to art that became an annual event by 1737. A spring salon has been offered in Springville for years, and for the past five years, the Logan Fine Art Gallery has presented a fall salon, which is open to all interested in presenting their art in Cache Valley.
Mike Malm is serving as the judge of this year’s Salon d’Automne. Highly respected arts among collectors and his colleagues, Malm lives in Wellsville with his wife, Juanita, and their four children. The surrounding rural communities and setting provide backdrops for his figure paintings and inspiration for his landscapes.
This year’s competition will be difficult as usual because of the high quality of work we have received. It takes an artist with a solid background and a discerning eye to judge the level of artwork in this competition, and Malm is just such an artist. Having studied under Del Parson, Glen Edwards, Richard Schmid, Burton Silverman and many great
artists, he has achieved a name for himself creating paintings with an inner glow and beautiful color harmonies and enchanting themes. The grand prize for this year’s Salon d’Automne is $1,500, while runners up will receive $500 and honorable mentions $100. Visit loganfineartgallery. com or call 753-0333 for more information.
Owenhouse coming back COMING UP ELC to host fundraiser
Montana-based illusionist set to return Sept. 30 Jay Owenhouse, a legendary escape artist and one of the most awarded illusionists in history, returns to Logan for a command performance — one night only in “Dare to Believe!” Owenhouse, who visited Logan last fall, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Tickets are priced $29.50 to $69.50, and are available by calling 752-0026 or online at cachearts.org. “Dare to Believe” breaks new ground with a brand-new, elaborate stage show — a mindboggling, spell-binding experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Owenhouse’s new show is a theatrical event where audiences not only witness the magic — they experience it. You’ll see audience members float in mid-air, get sawed in half and predict the future. “Dare to Believe” also features Owenhouse’s two bengal tigers. Owenhouse spent 2008 touring China and Japan, where his show received the “Best Touring Family Show in Asia” award. Now back in the U.S., he is working on his new TV series. Owenhouse can also currently be seen on Fox TV in the show “Magic On The Edge,” and in the television special called “Masters Of Illusion,” a program profil-

The English Language Center of Cache Valley will highlight the culture and cuisine of China and South Korea at its annual fundraiser dinner to be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at the Riverwoods Conference Center. The ELC is a non-profit organization serving the needs of non- or limited-English speaking adults. These people come to Cache Valley via diverse pathways: the largest group are people who live and work in our community and are looking to upgrade their employment status often with the goal of bringing other members of his/her family here to Utah; newly arriving refugees who have fled persecution from Africa, Burma, and the Middle East compose the second group; and finally, spouses of those completing advanced degrees at Utah State University. These individuals are in need of very intensive educational services. Oftentimes, these refugees, for example, have had few educational opportunities, or little experience with banking and money management, how to find employment, housing, or how to seek medical care and a myriad of other community survival skills. The ELC provides a safe, warm “family” for them as they acclimate and integrate. This is the fourth fundraising dinner and celebration, this year featuring the Sil Lum Kung Fu Kwoon of Salt Lake City performing the Lion Dance and a demonstration of the individual skills of traditional Kung Fu. Meet and greet our Student Ambassadors dressed in their native costumes who will delight you with their enthusiasm and experiences. Hear in their own words how the ELC has changed their lives for the better. Discover the heart of the ELC. We are introducing a departure from auctions and raffles this year making it easier and much more fun to contribute to the ELC that night. Please visit elc-cv.org and click on the link found below “Special Dates and Events.” You can purchase tickets or make a donation by clicking on the ‘donate’ page on the ELC website. Or call us at the ELC at 7506534.

Country music veterans help wrap up summer of music at Cherry Peak Ski Resort in Richmond

artway through last Saturday night’s performance at Cherry Peak Sky Resort in Richmond, Sawyer Brown lead singer Mark Miller paused to address the crowd after a period of musical bonding. “I want to a little survey,” Miller said. “I want you to be perfectly honest with me — this will not hurt my feelings — but I do want to know, how many of you folks have never, ever seen us live in concert, ever?” A good three-fourths of the audience raised their hands, leading Miller to react in mock indignation. “People! I kinda wish you would have lied! Never?” he said. “If you raised your hand and you have never seen us before, you need to get out more.” Country group Sawyer Brown is made up of five guys who previously performed as the backup band for performer Don King. They stayed together after King’s 1981 retirement. The group secured their first record contract in 1983 after winning on “Star Search,” a television competition hosted by Ed McMahon. “I tell my kids that we were the original American Idols. They just look
and me and they go, ‘Yeah, yeah sure, right, dad. Sure you were,’” Miller said. Sawyer Brown has been performing together for over 36 years, with regular performances in Utah at the height of their career, including shows at Logan’s Capitol Theatre, now known as the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The band is a high-energy group whose music quickly brings people to their feet, and no wonder. Miller himself is all over the stage when he sings, and while he appears to be as fit an agile as he was in his 20s, his fancy footwork is aided by a generous layer of baby powder sprinkled on the floor before the show. The group last Saturday’s performance with some of their work from the 1990s before they went back to the ’80s when Miller had a mullet and Betty was being bad.

“Lies, damn lies and statistics” is one of those Mark Twain quotes I’ve always latched onto but it turns out that the attribution itself is a lie because Twain did not come up with the quip. So I would extrapolate the quote to “lies, damn lies, statistics and attribution” and call it my own until otherwise spoken for. In other news, Albert Einstein never said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” though

What about “Try, try again?” Baseball players essentially do the same thing over and over again and are considered highly successful if they get a different result 30 percent of the time.

Kimmel to host Emmys Television awards show set for Sunday night LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel isn’t planning to use his superpowers at the Emmys. When the talk show host first emceed the ceremony four years ago, he pranked folks not watching the live telecast by bringing Tracy Morgan on stage to pretend to be unconscious. The host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” urged viewers to post “OMG Tracy Morgan just passed out on stage at the Emmys” on social media. A few years later, the “30 Rock” costar was seriously injured in a car crash. “I have to be careful because I obviously have powers that no one ever anticipated,” joked Kimmel after ceremoniously rolling out the red carpet Wednesday morning in anticipation of Sunday’s ceremony. “I’m hoping to be on the next season of (the Marvel superhero series) ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’” The massive red carpet — more like a red sidewalk, really — will cover the entire plaza

them busy, but nobody cares. If you really feel that America needs to be made great again, no cold facts will convince you otherwise. I do, however, understand the sentiment. I have never had a new boss come in and say, “You guys are doing great; keep it up, there’s no need to change anything.” Since numbers and rational thinking don’t seem to matter, I think I could provide some good sound bites that any politician could use: Did you know that there are more people unemployed now than during the Great Depression? Thanks Obama.
Of course, there is pretty much more of everything now so percentages rather than absolute numbers are what you should be looking at, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good putdown. I also think 108 percent of Russians voted to re-elect Putin. Do you know that every six seconds, onetenth of a minute disappears and we really don’t know where it goes? You have to say this in the deep scary election voice for full effect. ———

Return of NFL lifts NBC to ratings win NEW YORK (AP) — The return of football and back-toback prime-time interviews with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump led NBC to a decisive victory in the television ratings. Both the season-opening Super Bowl rematch between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos and a Sunday night game involving a Tom Brady-less New England team and Arizona both reached more than 20 million viewers, the Nielsen company said. NBC also reached 14.7 million viewers for the “Commander-in-Chief Forum” featuring Clinton and Trump. Given the rough reception given to moderator Matt Lauer, NBC may have a hard time celebrating that ratings achievement. The first debate between the two presidential candidates, moderated by NBC “Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt, is scheduled for Sept. 26. Add in summer’s top show in its waning weeks, “America’s Got Talent,” and it made for a dominant week for NBC. ESPN was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 2.42 million in prime time. NBC’s “Nightly News” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.9 million viewers. For the week of Sept. 5-11, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Carolina at Denver, NBC, 25.19 million; NFL Football: New England at Arizona, NBC, 23.08 million; “NFL Pre-Game Show” (Thursday), NBC, 18.51 million; “NFL Pre-Game Show” (Sunday), NBC, 17.67 million; “Commander-in-Chief Forum,” NBC, 14.72 million; “The OT,” Fox, 14.36 million; “Football Night in America,” NBC, 12.19 million; “America’ Got Talent” (Tuesday), NBC, 11.96 million; “NFL Kick-Off Show” (Thursday), NBC, 10.62 million; “America’s Got Talent”(Wednesday), NBC, 10.61 million.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adult audiences turned out in droves to take the plunge with “Sully,” director Clint Eastwood’s dramatization of the Miracle on the Hudson. The film took flight with $35.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, surpassing expectations by around $10 million. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who made an emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in 2009, minutes after taking off.

They also strive to acknowledge the cultural traditions of generations of people who have worked and lived on the deserts of the American Southwest.
The songs of 3hattrio are mostly original and even their old-time cowboy and pioneer songs have an unusual twist. Living in the same isolated place, surrounded by an inspiring landscape of red cliffs is what makes this group thrive. Their first album, “Year One,” was hailed by Baxter Black as a “profundo Gregorian sagebrush chant.” Since then, their second CD, “Dark Desert Night,” has been on the folk charts in the US and in Europe
and has received critical acclaim. A new album, “Solitaire,” came out on Sept. 9. Americana producer Jim Rooney says the music of 3hattrio “is a combination of the timeless and the transient. We are the transient ones in a timeless landscape. I’d say this trio has a good long future ahead of it.” And Julian Piper of Acoustic Magazine calls the trio’s music, “An ethereal magic that puts them in a field of one.”

Taking second place with $15 million was the Screen Gems thriller “When the Bough Breaks” starring Morris Chestnut and Regina Hill. It surpassed its modest $10 million budget, but failed to meet both analyst expectations and the precedent set by last year’s African-American thriller “The Perfect Guy,” which made $25.9 million on the same weekend. “Because of the success of so many of these films, most of us thought it would do more this weekend, but no one is going to be crying about it over at Sony. They’re already in the profit mode,” Dergarabedian said. Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution, echoed that sentiment, stressing that “The Perfect Guy’s” box office was “way beyond anyone’s expectations.” “We’re in good shape,” Bruer said, noting that it is the latest in a string of successes for the studio including “Don’t Breathe,” which placed third with $8.2 million, and “Sausage Party.” “Suicide Squad” took fourth place with $5.7 million, while the animated pic “The Wild Life” rounded out the top five with a dim $3.4 million.

I couldn’t have told you the date if I didn’t still have the ticket stub, and I don’t even remember many of the details. I think my super cool Aunt Fran drove me and my best friend to Salt Lake. I am still recovering from the shock of doing the math and finding out that concert was 27 years ago, when I was a senior in high school and much more gutsy than I am now in my middle-aged adulthood. I had no fear after that concert when I marched right up to the band’s scarier-than-life security guard and asked for an interview with the band. At the time, I had just started to dabble in journalism, and I thought it would be a blast to talk to this group of guys just prior to their next performance a few days away in Logan. Way back in the dark ages, I received a very quick

Larsen’s “Emergence,” written for the FSQ and featured on its new album, uses the concept of the water cycle as a metaphor for transformation. “The work begins with playful evocations of precipitation and builds to gushing descents of runoff and hazy depictions of evaporation,” McFaul said. “Simultaneously, it captures a vast, potent, emotional landscape. In its fourth movement, a wistful tune becomes distorted as its accompaniment becomes increasingly dark and jagged. Yet the work ends on a hopeful note, with us resolved in a shared melody, and ulti-

I got my interview, I wrote my mately, resounding as one gleaming, unified voice.” Bela Bartok’s fifth string quartet will finish the program. The work is in five movements and weaves folk elements with extraordinary structure as he creates a vast soundscape that remains forever original, McFaul said. The FSQ is preparing a cycle of Bartok’s complete works for string quartet to be performed as a singular and rare event planned for the 2017-18 season. “In the spirit of the Crossroads Project, the FSQ is launching social media campaigns called #makeityours and #makeityoursUSU,” McFaul said. “After 30 performances of the Crossroads Project, we have lived through the experience with literally thousands of audience members.
