FROM THE EDITOR Thanks to digital technology, it’s easier than ever to record a sporting event and watch it later. But thanks to digital technology, it’s also harder than ever not to accidentally encounter the score of the game you were hoping to watch later.

I don’t mean to brag, but I pulled off the impossible last Saturday night.

Of all the NFL playoff games broadcast over the weekend, I wanted to watch the Carolina Panthers-Seattle Seahawks contest far more than any other, and so I was extremely disappointed to see that game was scheduled for Saturday evening. Because of my responsibilities as an occasional sports writer, I was also committed to attend the New Mexico-Utah State men’s basketball game at the Spectrum, which was slated

to begin at nearly the same time as the NFL game in Seattle.

My first thought was, I can DVR it and watch it when I get home. And my second thought was, There is absolutely no way I am not going to hear or see the score since I would be surrounded by sports writers with laptops and iPhones.

And with former Aggies Bobby Wagner and Robert Turbin playing for the Seahawks, there are also plenty of other fans around Cache Valley these days who might reveal the score at some point.

I almost made a huge mistake by wearing a Seahawks hat to the game — obviously someone would say something to me then — but wisely decided to go igcognito. I then did what I was taught to do long ago in elementary school, and kept my eyes on my own paper ... or at least tried to focus on the court and not let my eyes drift onto other writers’ laptops.

Afterwards, I was sure someone in the press room would blurt out a score, so I

put on headphones and listened to music when I wasn’t listening to coach and players’ quotes. And in the few minutes it took for me to gather my things and leave the Spectrum, I was fortunate that no one said anything concerning professional football.

By the time I got out the Spectrum, I felt like I had just robbed a bank and was getting away with it.

But there was still one major hurdle — my wife. While she wasn’t asleep like I had hoped, when I got home she was (dare I say ... fortunately) dealing with a screaming baby and did not care to discuss anything other than how to get said baby to stop screaming.

When she closed the bedroom door, I finally knew I was home safe, and much to my surprise, I was actually able to enjoy the Seahawks’ 31-17 victory over Carolina just as much as someone who was able to watch it live.

Author’s wife helps share the story of husband’s war bride

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

It seems only appropriate that a complicated love story has now been told in a rather complicated manner.

“The thing that’s unique about this book is that I’m not the author,” Arlene Price says of “Love Letter for a Japanese War Bride.”

“It’s my husband that’s the author, and he passed away in September 2010. The book was ready to go that summer, and I’ve just always felt like I needed to publish it because it’s such a beautiful story.”

A native of Cache Valley, Arlene Price is the third wife of Stephen E. Price, who managed to complete “Love Letter for a Japanese War Bride” just before he died in Logan at the age of 75.

The book was recently published through the efforts of Arlene Price, even though the love story it chronicles involves Stephen Price and his first wife, Ryuko. Price was a sailor on a U.S. Navy destroyer assigned to the Far East when he first met Ryuko through a common friend in 1956.

Although Stephen Price was just 21 at the time and Ryuko was 29, age was not a factor for the couple. However, the fact that Price was an American seeking to marry a Japanese woman a decade after the end of World War II was a huge issue. The armed forces made it extremely difficult for servicemen to marry Japanese women, with permission usually taking between one and two years.

In the book, Ryuko also admits that she would have never even started to date Price if her father had still been alive, but after falling in love, the couple manages to overcome the roadblocks set up by the governments of

two former enemies and end up getting married in July 1957.

The couple initially lives in Japan before Price brings his “war bride” home like an estimated 48,000 other U.S. servicemen. After becoming the parents of three children, Ryuko suffers complications during childbirth

and she and her newborn daughter both die.

Devastated by the loss, Stephen Price struggles to raise his children while coping with his grief. He marries again “much too soon,” leading to See LETTER on Page 13

all mixed up ‘Seven Brides’ headed to Eccles Theatre The national tour of the hit Broadway musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” will be in Logan for two performances Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Showtimes are at 2 and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets start at $39 and are available at cachearts.org, by calling 7520026 or by visiting the box office at 43 S. Main St. “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” is a high-energy musical combining the classic, physical dancing styles with fun and energetic situations.

Not only do the brothers have to dance eloquently at times with their

brides, complete with eye-catching lifts and tosses, they also have fun and unique numbers that you would only see in “Seven Brides.”

One situation includes a complicated and physical dance with axes and another with blankets as Milly gets them to take a bath.

Finding a wife in the 1850s wasn’t easy for men living in the mountains of the Oregon Territory, especially when there are seven brothers in one family. That’s how our story begins in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Adam, the oldest of the seven, sets out for town to bring back a wife to take

care of the cooking, cleaning and mending. In town, he meets Milly, the server and cook at the local café. He knows that it’s sudden, but asks her to marry him. Milly is up for an adventure and says yes because she’s tired of being the cook for all the men in town and can’t wait to take care of just one man. But he “forgot” to mention those other six brothers waiting back at home. After her discovery, she sets out to make the others the most eligible bachelors around.

COMING UP

Poppins’ auditions Comedian coming to Eccles Theatre on Saturday ‘Mary Four Seasons Theatre Company announces auditions Comedian Paula Poundstone will take the stage at the Ellen Eccles Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17.

Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased online at cachearts.org, by phone at 752-0026 or in person at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts box office at 43 S. Main St. Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus 25 years ago and traveled across the country — stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went. A high school dropout, she went on to become one of the great humorists of our time.

You can hear her through your laughter as a regular panelist on NPR’s popular rascal of a weekly news quiz show, “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me.” She tours regularly, performing standup comedy across the country, causing Bob Zany of the Boston Globe to write: “Poundstone can regale an audience for several hours with her distinctive brand of wry, intelligent and witty comedy.”

Audience members may put it a little less elegantly: “I peed my pants.”

Neeson takes over top spot from ‘Hobbit’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — After three weeks atop the box office, “The Hobbit” has been taken down by Liam Neeson.

“Taken 3” nabbed the top spot at the weekend box office in North America with $40.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The third installment of the 20th Century Fox thriller series stars Neeson as a vengeance-seeking retired CIA operative with “a very particular set of skills.”

The original “Taken,” which also features Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen, debuted in 2009 with $24.7 million, while “Taken 2” launched in 2012 with $49.5 million. “Taken 3” also earned $41 million in 36 international territories this weekend.

“For Neeson to be at this stage in his career and be considered one of the premier action heroes is certainly unexpected, but it’s really cool and lucrative,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at box-office tracker Rentrak. “I don’t think Neeson expected back in ‘09 that ‘Taken’ would take off the way it has. It’s really enhanced his box-office appeal.”

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” slid to fourth place with $9.4 million following three straight weeks in first place. The total domestic take for filmmaker Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth finale now stands at $236.5 million. “The Hobbit” also earned $21.8 million internationally this weekend, pushing the worldwide total to $545.3 million.

★★★

‘American Sniper’

muck of war that it’s impossible to wash it all off. What starts as a personal introspective view of war, turns into a comment on its lasting negative effects.

The trailers and the studio marketing departments are trying to sell “American Sniper” as a wartime epic, using the marketing tactic of Kyle’s best-selling book by declaring that this is the story about, “The most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.”

It’s true that it’s based on the autobiography of a man who was extremely effective at killing, but that isn’t its focus.

Eastwood’s movie is much more interested in how war affects who a person is, how it shapes them, how it molds their personality, how it hardens them and how it shifts individual thinking and reality to bleakness, which is tough to overcome for most. And completely impossible to overcome for others.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, January 16, 2015

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Chris Kyle’s service to our country is worthy of extreme gratitude.

His book was brash and came across as jingoistic cockiness. Clint Eastwood has taken the meat of Kyle’s book, stripped it of the overblown bravado, and has instead aimed a laserfocus on the human toll of war. What war does to a person’s psyche.

How the grimy tentacles of war reach deeply, and darkly, into the lives of returned soldiers. Eastwood’s view of modern warfare is more intimate than one might expect.

“American Sniper” is a sobering look at war and its inevitable consequences.

There are two distinct aspects of “American Sniper” that make it the memorable movie it is. Eastwood’s skilled direction, which guides the story of Kyle through the most affecting parts of his life, has a way of showing us unforgiving images of war, but making them deeply personal at the same time. We see the war through Kyle’s point of view. The war never feels bigger than what Kyle sees and interacts with. Instead it’s this thing, always there, influencing everything Chris Kyle is. Everything he does.

Everything that he can do. Everything that he will become.

The second piece of the movie’s successful formula is Bradley Cooper’s unflinching portrayal of one of the military’s most prolific snipers. Kyle begins his career in the armed forces like many others did, when he sees America getting attacked and

Imagine Lady Liberty, a tooth, a bowling pin, a baseball, a Girl Scout cookie and a variety of animals running through an obstacle course, racing scooters, bowling, playing musical chairs and even having a dance off.

That’s exactly what the first-ever Mascot Charity Challenge brought to the Cache Valley Fun Park in North Logan last Saturday.

The event was organized to help raise funds for Special Olympic athletes from Utah State University.

According to their Website: “Aggie Special Olympics is a part of a worldwide organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in Olympic-type sports for people with intellectual disabilities. We strive to give athletes continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and share their gifts and friendship with family, friends, other Special Olympic athletes and the community.”

Over 200 people showed up to watch the inaugural event and cheer for the 12 mascots who competed.

Bill Knopps, the group sales consultant for the Cache Valley Fun Park, said the turnout was better than expected for the first year.

From mascots fighting over places to sit during musical chairs to mascots bowling for other mascots to help them get a higher score, there was a good combination of competition and sportsmanship.

“I love the fact that they got into it and really competed,” Knopps said. “But there was also plenty of sportsmanship.”

One mascot even got lost in the maze at the Fun Park and took over two minutes to resurface.

Grizzbee, the mascot of the Utah Grizzlies hockey team, said he didn’t take the prep run on the course, so it was really easy for him to get lost.

Coming up from Salt Lake City, he knew it was going to be steep

competition with the crowd favorite, USU’s Big Blue.

Though it was fun to compete with other mascots, Grizzbee said there was one thing on his mind.

“It’s hard not being the favorite,” he said.

Knopps said the mascots had an amazing effect on the spectators and especially the kids. Big Blue, he said, being the favorite, was in countless pictures with kids and adults alike. It makes you feel like a kid no matter what age you are, he

said.

“I love seeing the kids’ faces when they see one mascot, let alone 12,” Knopps said. “The kids’ faces light up, especially the Special Olympic athletes.”

As the mascots were announced

and came into the event in a parade, everyone cheered for every mascot. It was a day to help kids and to become a kid yourself.

Knopps said he hopes that this will become an annual event and get bigger and better every year.

“I would love to get more community participation,” he said.

“We’d love to get more sponsors and more mascots.”

With over $1,100 raised thus far, Knopps said, more donations are still coming in. Sam’s Club helped

with the event, having eight volunteers to oversee and organize some aspects of the competition.

Scott Northridge, the marketing and membership manager from Sam’s Club, said the company is doing a Volunteering Always Pays program.

“If we come over and donate our time, Sam’s Club gives that money to the Special Olympics,” he said.

“Next year, if we get started a little earlier, we can do a lot more.”

Knopps said he was very impressed with the way the community and businesses came out to help with this.

Knopps said he heard there is a mascot football game in Salt Lake City that’s used as a fundraiser for children with terminal illnesses, and he wanted to mirror what they were doing.

Getting 12 mascots in the same room was a dream come true, he said, but when the mascots started competing and interacting with each other, that’s what made the moment magical.

Knopps said hijinks like Lady Liberty losing her head in the maze, Grizzbee getting lost in the maze, crashing on a scooter and then getting a strike for another mascot, and all of the mascots getting together for the dance off were what the event was all about.

“I was hoping something fun like that would happen,” Knopps said. “They really got into it.

Grizzbee said it’s always enjoyable when mascots get together.

There is always so much energy that mascots naturally bring by themselves that when many of them are together, it only intensifies.

Getting lost in the maze and crashing on his bike, he said, was a way to help make the moment fun and entertaining for the spectators.

“It’s always fun to ham it up so that people enjoy it,” Grizzbee said. “That’s what mascots are for.

They’re here to entertain people, to raise money and be a good outreach for the community.”

Books Abel delivers a winner with ‘White Plague’

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

James Abel’s new thriller, “White Plague,” combines elements from “The Hunt for Red October” and the cutting-edge science from the best of Michael Crichton to send chills down the reader’s spine.

Marine doctor Joe Rush is sent into action when times are desperate. Besides being a top-ranked physician, he can also lead a team into potentially hostile and

classified mission, but he does his best to ignore questions about how he earned the moniker.

Rush receives orders to lead a team into the Arctic Ocean to rescue the crew of the USS Montana, a vessel that is in flames and adrift off the coast of Alaska. Can Rush and his team rescue the survivors in time? To make the situation more grim, a Chinese submarine is headed there lethal situations involving as well, and it’s obvious to Rush that the Chinese bioweapons. He’s earned the nickname “Killer Joe,” want the ship’s technology. When the survivors are thanks to an earlier, still

located, they show signs of being sick. Viruses are Rush’s specialty, but this pathogen may be beyond his level of expertise.

Abel is the pseudonym of an author who has the gift of creating pageturning fiction that reads like non-fiction. “White Plague” is so believable it feels like the author is reporting actual events.

Readers will be eagerly awaiting the next adventure featuring Joe Rush, but it’s difficult to imagine how Abel will be able to top this winner.

July debuts with ‘First Bad Man’ Hawkins’ ‘Girl on the Train’

By Ann Levin Associated Press The first sentence of Miranda July’s debut novel, “The First Bad Man,” suggests the almost surreal self-absorption of its problematic narrator: “I drove to the doctor’s office as if I was starring in a movie Phillip was watching.”

Cheryl — 43, single and childless — has a crush on Phillip, a rich, aging hippie who sits on the board of the Los Angeles nonprofit where she works and lusts after a 16-year-old girl. She’s on her way to the doctor — actually, a New Age practitioner of color therapy — because she suffers from globus hystericus, the anxiety-induced feeling of a lump in her throat that makes it hard to swallow. She has other problems as well: She secretly communes with babies — even fetuses — and believes that she and Phil were lovers in past lives.

Over the course of this uneven novel, Cheryl will become reasonably normal and happy but only after she has endured a number of symbolically charged ordeals. She’ll perform martial arts-style sparring that will leave her battered and bruised but feeling unaccountably empowered. She’ll imagine strenuous sex with other women as if she were a man. And she’ll become a surrogate

mother and more to Clee, the 20-yearold daughter of her bosses who is blond, buxom, beautiful — and a horrific bully.

Clee’s parents made a fortune repackaging self-defense classes for women into up-tempo fitness DVDs, then moved to bucolic Ojai, California, to start a family. Now they’re estranged from their child. “Everyone thinks it’s such a terrific idea to move out of the city to raise your kids,” Clee’s mom laments. “Well, don’t be surprised when that kid is pro-life and anti-gun control.”

The novel works best when July is satirizing the entitled do-gooders in Cheryl’s privileged circle, and she deftly captures Cheryl’s ambivalence about millennials like Clee, who wears tight, low-slung sweatpants, “an accumulation of straps on her shoulders” (a bra and tank tops) and feels OK about being zaftig. “Whereas girls in my youth felt angry but directed it inward and cut themselves and became depressed,” Cheryl thinks, “girls nowadays just went ‘arrrgh’ and pushed someone into a wall.”

But too much of the action, especially in the first half, comes off as metaphorical, giving the novel an anemic, otherworldly feel. July’s storytelling skills crackle to life in the second half, however, with a riveting childbirth scenario fairly teeming with blood, breast milk and guts.

has a very realistic plot

By Oline H. Cogdill Associated Press

How many times have you been on a train and wondered about the people who live near the tracks and leave their curtains open so that passersby can watch them?

That voyeuristic view of lives as seen from a distance echoes the themes of obsession, isolation and loneliness explored in “The Girl on the Train.”

British journalist Paula Hawkins deftly imbues her debut psychological thriller with inventive twists and a shocking denouement.

Rachel Watson does more than glance at the patio of the two-story house when her train makes its stop at a signal during the hour-

long commute to London. She’s made up a scenario about a loving couple she calls Jason and Jess, imagining a happy life as they sip their coffee in the welltended garden. Then one day Rachel spies the woman kissing another man — and her fantasy world undergoes a drastic change.

Rachel is no casual voyeur to the couple’s

domestic scene. Two years earlier, when she was married, Rachel lived four doors down from the duo — whose real names are Scott and Megan Hipwell.

Now often drunk, Rachel stalks her exhusband, Tom Watson, and his current wife, Anna, following them in her former neighborhood, sneaking into their house, even trying to take their infant daughter. When Megan disappears, Rachel insinuates herself into the investigation and becomes friends with Scott. She also tries to stop drinking. “I am interested, for the first time in ages, in something other than my own misery. I have purpose. Or at least, See GIRL on Page 12

Dean Sobon who was at the helm for the Prather Entertainment Group national tour of “Fiddler on the Roof” in 2014 will again bring this rollicking musical to life. He has worked for Prather Entertainment Group for more than 12 years.

Utah Continued from Page 4 was composed by Poulenc between 1930 and 1932 for piano, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon.

The work is playful and upbeat with themes that reflect the Jazz Age of the 1920s. Also reflecting jazz music (including tones that mimic Gershwin) is Ibert’s “Divertissement,” a piece of comic, heartfelt life that does not reflect the tumultuous time in history. Ibert asserted that “all systems are valid provided that one derives music from them.”

Praised by the Chicago Tribune as “being secure in the music and in his ability to convey his ideas,” Loebel, the evening’s guest conductor, is currently the associate director of orchestras at the New England Conservatory, following an 11-year tenure as music director of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. Prior to his Memphis appointment, Loebel had a decade-

Adventurers, soldiers, farmers and tradesmen came to the new continent and built towns with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles. Diversity became an American characteristic as there were the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden and the English Quakers of Pennsylvania, to name a few. In addition to the Colonial Period, the exhibit concentrates on the

long association with the St. Louis Symphony, serving as associate principal conductor.

Founded in 1940, the Utah Symphony is dedicated to offering orchestral performances that span the traditions of the past and present new possibilities for the audiences. The orchestra presents more than 70 performances each season in Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City and participates in the Utah Opera’s four annual productions at the Capitol Theatre in addition to numerous community concerts throughout the state and the annual outdoor summer series, the Deer Valley Music Festival in Park City. The Utah Symphony is one of the most engaged full-time orchestras in the nation.

“Crafting a Continuum: Rethinking Contemporary Craft,” features more than 60 works in wood, ceramic and fiber. It provides an international perspective on craft innovations from the past 50 years. There is an emphasis on recent work by artists exploring craft through a powerful blend of material, process and concept. The collection of work shown is from Arizona

State University Art Museum and includes emerging artists, including Sonya Clark, Anders Ruhwald, Mark Newport and Alison Elizabeth Taylor alongside influential, established artists that include Peter Voulkos, Ed Moulthrop and Dorothy Gill Barnes.

The exhibition is organized by the Arizona State University Art Museum and Ceramics Research Center in Tempe, Arizona, and is curated by associate director and senior curator Heather Sealy Lineberry and curator of ceramics Peter Held with assistance from the Windgate Curatorial Fellow Elizabeth Kozlowski.

Someone to live for, And I’ll find my way there.

Little Theatre in Providence.

Whether you go for the salad and breadsticks or go for the atmosphere, Olive Garden is one of the restaurants that’s hard to beat. Sometimes it’s a little out of our price range for date night, right? Wrong! Once you learn how to make it from John & Teddi Maynes, you’ll realize that you don’t have to hand over your pocket book to have that to-diefor Olive Garden flavor. You must reserve a seat at the service desk, and please be on time.

Classes are for ages 10 and up.

Classes are for ages 10 and up. Check us out on Facebook or visit littletheatrerecipes.blogspot.com for more information.

You meet some new people and ask them about themselves. Then, someone says, ‘Tell that story you used to tell,’ and then someone on the other side of the room spills a drink, and you mock them. No one ever applauds me when I leave a party, though. I think they high five.”
