“You’ve got to go downtown, George. It’s all downtown.”

While this is a quote from an episode of “Seinfeld” directed towards George Costanza by a supe-rior in the New York Yankees organization, the same might be said to all of Cache Valley this weekend.

It’s all downtown.Things get under

way Friday evening with the Cache Valley Center for the Arts Winter Gallery Walk, which will surely benefit from the above-

average weather we’ve been enjoying. And strolling through the various art

displays will make it extremely easy to mosey on into the 10th annual Winter Gift Market at the Bullen Center, which will run Friday night and all day Saturday. This year’s show includes a large number of vendors, including a new addition — local authors.

Writers with books to purchase and sign will also be found in abundance at The Book Table on Friday night for the store’s Midnight Madness event, which runs from 8 p.m. to midnight.

In addition, the American Festival Chorus will also present a total of three shows on Friday and Saturday at the

Ellen Eccles Theatre. This year the chorus will be joined by violinist Jenny Oaks Baker, vocalist Alexandria Sharpe and the Westminster Bell Choir for its annual Christmas show.

The Logan Tabernacle Christmas Con-cert Series also starts at noon Saturday with a performance by the Cache Chil-dren’s Choir, and there’s also music to be heard along Federal Avenue at Why Sound and Caffe Ibis.

That’s an awful lot of holiday entertain-ment to be found within easy walking distance, and that definitely makes down-town Logan the place to be this weekend.

Voice Male delivers ‘Jingles 3’

By Jeff HunterCache Magazine editor

Voice Male is returning to the Kent Concert Hall on the campus of Utah State University for its annual Christmas concert, featuring music from the popular six-man a cappella group’s all-new holiday album “Jingles 3.”

For the past several years, Voice Male has performed in front of full houses at the Ellen Eccles Theatre in down-town Logan. However, the group’s original roots are at USU and this year they are excited to return to campus for a 1:30 p.m. matinee and a 7 p.m. performance on Saturday, Dec. 15.

Tickets are $8 to $13 and are available at the USU ticket office, or online at www.voicemalemusic.com.

“It’s so cool to be head-ing back to the Kent again where we held our first big sold-out shows,” says John Huff, a tenor and one of the group’s founding mem-bers stated.

“It’s like coming home.”Originally formed 18

years ago at Utah State, Voice Male has since performed all over the Western United States for hundreds of thousands of fans. Their music is widely

Male released the “Jingles 3” album, which features their hallmark mix of light-hearted and warm-hearted arrangements of Christmas standards such as “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,”

“Frosty the Snowman,” “Deck the Halls,” “O Holy Night,” “O Come All Ye Faithful” and many others.

“I’m really proud of this

album, and I’m so happy to get to share it with our fans,” says second tenor Mike Bearden, who produced

“Jingles 3” and arranged much of the music.

Formed in 1994 as a nine-man group, in addition to Huff and Bearden, the cur-rent version of Voice Male also includes John Luthy (bass/percussion), Mike Willson (bass), Rick Mur-dock (baritone) and Richard

Kula will perform some of his original piano com-positions currently airing on

upon humanity. “I believe music is a power-

ful gift from God that can raise the spirit,” he says.

The Cache Valley Center for the Arts is proud to present the return of the Bar J Wranglers for a pair of Christmas concerts Sat-urday, Dec. 15, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Experience the spirit of the Old West as the Bar J Wranglers take their holiday charm on the road. Get ready for some more knee slap-pin’, toe-tappin’ fun by purchasing tickets for the entire herd. Tickets are $16 to $22 per person. Purchase online at www.Elle-nEcclesTheatre.org, at the Cache Valley Cen-ter for the Arts Ticket Office located north of the Ellen Eccles Theatre at 43 S. Main St. or by calling 752-0026.

“Every year the Bar J Wranglers pack

the theatre for an event that has truly become a cherished Logan tradi-tion,” says Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “The Bar J Wranglers mix up their holiday concert with a little cowboy poetry, stel-lar musicianship, and a healthy dose of down-home ranch humor.”

Well known in Cache County and beyond, the cowpokes hailing from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, present a show that is two parts music, two parts stand-up comedy and all-out entertainment

with a holiday twist. This concert is one of those events that will sell out. If you have waited, there are a few tickets left. The Bar J Wranglers will be mak-ing their 13th appear-

ance in Logan as part of the Cache Valley Center for the Arts 2012-13 Presenting Season.

Some folks call it a Western music show; some call it a stand-up comedy show with mas-

terful cowboy music; others call it the best musical experience in the West. As soon as the Bar J Wranglers take the stage, listeners leave behind their busy life and settle into a time long

ago – a time of the sing-ing cowboy.

The group was formed in Jackson Hole, Wyo. in 1983 by Babe Humphrey and has been passed down to his sons Scott and Bryan.

The Chorus will be performing a complete set of 19 songs, including Christmas favorites, a couple of fun, non-traditional Christmas songs, and a sprinkling of other songs. We will cover a wide variety of A cappella genres including do-wop, barbershop, madrigal, pop A cappella, classical and men’s chorus.

Jazz Kicks Band honors MonkThe Jazz Kicks Band is pre-

senting a concert of the music of Thelonious Monk at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at the USU Per-formance Hall.

Admission to the concert is $8; all students are admitted free.

The Jazz Kicks Band is led by Larry Smith and is sponsored by the USU Music Department. The band is comprised of Gregg Wheeler, Tyler Whittaker, Larry Smith, Mike Reeder and Jon Gudmundson (saxophones); Hal Briggs, J. Paul Ward, Alex Meibos and Grayson Osborne (trumpets); Roger Karren, Andres Watkins, Sarah Houghton and Todd Fal-lis (trombones); Kyle McKenna

(piano); Jim Schaub (bass); and Jason Nicholson (drums).

Thelonious Monk was born in North Carolina in 1917 but grew up in New York City. He had a few piano lessons as a youth but was mainly self-taught. By the late 1930s, he was playing profession-ally. In the early 1940s, Monk was the house pianist at Minton’s, a club in Harlem. There he, along with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gil-lespie and other young musicians, worked out the style of jazz that came to be called Bebop. Monk was, in fact, known as the “High Priest of Bebop.”

The Jazz Kicks Band will play some of Monk’s best-known

compositions. “‘Round Midnight”, his most recorded and performed tune, will feature Gudmundson’s baritone saxophone. “Well, You Needn’t” has solos by Smith and Ward. Watkins and Schaub are featured soloists on “Bye-Ya.”

“Pannonica,” named after Monk’s friend and patron Baroness Pan-nonica de Koenigswarter, has solos by Fallis and Wheeler. Mei-bos, Reeder and Nicholson solo on “Straight, No Chaser.” “I Mean You” features Karren and McK-enna. And vocalist Monica Fronk will sing “Santa Meets Theloni-ous,” “The Ballad of Thelonious Monk,” “The Christmas Song” and “The Christmas Waltz”.

The Old Barn Community Theatre’s 2012 season will conclude with the inspiring holiday masterpiece “A Christ-mas Carol.” This song-filled adaptation of Dickens’ classic tale reawakens the true spirit of Christmas in a heart-stirring carol of profound beauty and redemption. Under the direc-tion of and starring Marc Jen-sen, “A Christmas Carol” will run Dec. 7 to 22.

With a heart locked up tighter than a cash box, Scrooge must encounter the visits by three spirits for the chance to open up his heart and relish in the joys and aspirations of his fellow man. It is generally well known that the play ends with redemp-tion amid the joy which the holiday season brings. As Dick-ens concluded upon Scrooge’s redemption, “… he became as

good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew.”

However, it begins with a visit from the ghost of his old partner Jacob Marley who shares his missteps in life:

“Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my busi-ness; charity, mercy, forbear-ance and benevolence were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!”

“A Christmas Carol” will be performed at the Old Barn Community Theatre in Collin-ston at 7:30 p.m. every Monday, Friday and Saturday Dec. 7 to 22. There will also be matinees at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, and Saturday, Dec. 22.

For tickets, call (435) 458-2276 or visit www.oldbarn.org.

Tabernacle concert series gets under wayThe 2012 Logan Tabernacle

Christmas Concert Series includes 10 concerts and runs from Dec. 8 to 21. The series gives Christmas shoppers and the community a chance to hear a variety of excel-lent Christmas music.

The first concert is the Cache Children’s Choir and will begin at noon Saturday, Dec. 8. What

a great way to begin the holiday season. All four of the Choir’s four groups will be singing holiday favorites, as well as seasonal folk music. In addition to the wonder-ful children’s voices, an ensemble of harp, flute, cello, oboe and the magnificent Logan Tabernacle organ will join them.

Sunday, Dec. 9, is the 16th

annual Community Christmas Benefit Concert for the Cache Community Food Pantry. The 7 p.m. concert is free and open to the public, but a collection will be taken at the door for food items for the food pantry for those who would like to donate.

2 Hit the streets for the Winter Gallery WalkCelebrate the holiday

season and the arts by joining the Cache Val-ley Center for the Arts for the free CVCA Win-ter Gallery Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, in downtown Logan.

The Logan Art Dis-trict invites you to see a variety of art displayed in more than 18 busi-nesses and temporary galleries — all within walking distance and set within the heart of downtown Logan’s historic district. This event provides art lov-ers a free opportunity to socialize and tour a full spectrum of galleries, local businesses and non-profit art spaces – all in one day.

Start at any location and pick up a map; just look for galler-ies marked with the official CVCA yellow banner. For exhibition details, maps and art-ist info, visit cachearts.org or e-mail events@cache arts.org.

Over 18 locations will be participating in this seasonal winter walk. Enjoy everything from culinary ginger-bread masterpieces to artwork by some of

Cache Valley’s finest. The December Gallery

Walk features artwork by Ted Pease, Kathryn Ashcroft, Andy Worrall, Blake Ostler, Michael Langenheim, Julie Lamar-ra, Jeremy and Larry Winborg, Scott Bushman, Shad Anderson, Roxane Pfister, April Hay, Dilleen

Marsh, Johnny Lopez and Heaven Lansdell-Lopez with LNL PhotoFarm, Lee W. Kinder, Glen Edwards, Russ Fjeldsted, Logan City School stu-dents, Cache Valley Pho-tographers SMUG, 10th annual Winter Gift Mar-ket, 13th annual Parade of Gingerbread Homes and

the Cache Valley Chapter of the Utah Watercolor Society.

This month, Caffe Ibis will be highlighting

“PeezePix: Images that Speak to Me” — pho-tography by Ted Pease. Works will be displayed from Dec. 6 through Jan. 9 at Caffe Ibis, 54 Federal Ave. Ted Pease is a writer, photographer, fisherman, journalist and profes-sor of interesting stuff

—not necessarily in that order. When not teaching journalism at Utah State University, he lives in Trinidad, Calif., chasing salmon and images that speak to him.

This Gallery Walk also features the 10th annual Winter Gift Market, a local holiday gift market featuring more than 35

artisans with unique origi-nal works, and a variety of masterpieces by some of Cache Valley’s favorites. Visit the Bullen Center at 43 S. Main St. from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8.

Entertainment for the evening will include the USU Scotsmen Pipe and Drum Corps on Main Street from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and Kelin and Clovis, a jazz-guitar duo, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Bullen Center as part of the Winter Gift Market.

The holiday season is a busy time for gift giving and visiting with friends; the CVCA Gallery Walk is the best way to com-bine the two. Many of these artists are only on display for one night, so

you don’t want to miss your chance to view their current work, let alone the opportunity to pur-chase something unique. A piece of art makes the perfect gift.

During the walk, many of the locations will be collecting food for the Cache Community Food Pantry, and you can help the community get Hun-gry for the Arts by bring-ing a non-perishable food item with you to any loca-tion on the walk, during the Winter Gift Market Dec. 7 to 8 at the Bullen Center, or at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts throughout the month of December. Food bins will be available at most loca-tions; just look for the donation box and Hungry for the Arts sign.

Keep away from new ‘Playing for Keeps’“Playing for Keeps” is

a mean, spiteful movie that not only feels like its audience is too dumb to understand genuine love, but it treats all of its women like hapless cou-gars waiting to pounce on their pray. There isn’t one strong female character in this movie. They’re all tied inexo-rably to the whims of the childish men in their lives. The biggest prob-lem is they never take control and say: “Enough is enough!”

The other problem with this romantic com-edy (I use those two words as loosely as pos-sible, since this movie is neither romantic nor funny) starring Gerard Butler as a washed-up soccer star is that the first 70 minutes are devoid of any sort of point. The story mean-ders around, switching tones on a whim.

First, it’s a semi-sad story about a man who has lost his fame and fortune; then it becomes a light-hearted, father-and-son tale where father desperately tries to reconnect with his son; then suddenly the movie turns into a

ridiculous sex comedy as the desperate women of the town descend on the good-looking former soccer star like ravenous wolves. It’s frustrating to

say the least.George (Butler) is the

soccer star in question. He used to be one of the most famous soccer athletes in the world. Now, he finds

himself unemployed and divorced. He’s moved to Virginia to be closer to his son and is trying to break into the world of sports broadcasting.

Suddenly, familiar faces like Dennis Quaid, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones begin popping up. The women throw themselves at George without any rational thought. They act like over-the-top bimbos — almost like you’re watch-ing a dreadful episode of

“Two and a Half Men.” All the while George is trying to win back the heart of his ex-wife Stacie (Jessica Biel).

Stacie is set to be married to Matt (James Tupper). Matt seems to

be the only rational person in the movie, and what does that get him? Well, the absolute worst possible ending one could imagine. The way this movie treats Matt’s hapless charac-ter is shameful, but I digress.

The real promise of the movie comes with George trying to reconnect with his son, Lewis (Noah Lomax). Somewhere inside of this movie is a better movie where father and son connect through heart-to-heart conversa-tions and earnest actions. Instead that story is undercut by the resident cougars sneaking into George’s residence dressed only in their unmentionables. It’s sad that the movie feels like

the father-son relation-ship isn’t enough to keep people’s attention, so they resort to the lowest-common-denom-inator type of humor.

This tone-deaf movie is completely void of any interesting charac-ters, sincere humor or natural emotion. It’s like watching an overly long, awfully written sitcom for 90 minutes.

It cares nothing of candid feelings or char-acters that really care. It’s far too obsessed with giving us the same tripe we’ve come to expect from these ter-rible rom-coms for years now. Everything boils over to an ending that’s so sickly saccharine that one may find it hard not to gag.

It may have been “dead week” at Utah State University, but there were plenty of fes-tive sights at the International Lounge inside the Taggart Student Center.

While college students pre-pared for finals next week, some took time to take part in the annual Festival of Trees, which began Monday. Forty-six artificial trees were deco-rated by various groups and clubs.“We sent out letters to all

the clubs and organizations on campus and even a couple of off-campus companies and asked them if they wanted to decorate a tree,” said Sloan Bailey, the traditions director

at USU who was in charge of the event. “I provide all the trees through ASUSU Tradi-tions. ... We have clubs from athletics to fraternities and sororities, the HURD, differ-ent diversity organizations, honors clubs, everything.”

Each Aggie sport had a tree, and there was some friendly banter going on as the teams worked on their masterpieces.

“Ours is going to be the best tree here,” Aggie men’s bas-ketball player TeNale Roland said.“This is looking pretty solid,”

fellow USU basketball player Spencer Butterfield added.“We took a blank canvas and

turned it into this,” basketball player Sean Harris said.

The softball team was already declaring its tree the best, while members of the golf team didn’t say a lot but were definitely putting togeth-er a nice-looking tree.

Aggie men’s tennis was diss-ing on the football team tree, which was next to the one decorated by the netters.“I think ours is definitely

better than theirs,” men’s tennis player Andrew Whit-ing said as he pointed to the neighboring tree. “Ours looks good if you

squint,” quipped Zeno Kaste-lic, a tennis player. “Our goal was to be better than women’s tennis team. It’s going to be better.”

Fellow tennis player Matt

Sweet added, “This is a good way to get into the Christmas spirit.”

While there was some friendly competition, there was actually a contest this year.

“Normally, we haven’t done a contest,” Bailey said. “This year, I thought it would be a great way to entice people. So there is a contest.”

Judges were told to look for creativity, originality and overall presentation. There was also a students’ choice award, voted on by Aggie stu-dents.

Each group brought its own decorations.

Technology has made it harder to give music for Christmas. I used to love sifting through the exotically weird interpretations of the Christmas clas-sics to give as either spiritual or gag gifts relative to the intended relative. However, Xmas 2012 is an awk-ward technological nexus where I have to ask those much older than me if they ever got around to buying a CD player, and I have to ask the annoyingly young if they know what a CD player is.

Most people were happy to forget 8-track tapes that had to split songs to fit them in, and which always seemed to come unwound and thus littered the highways in 1970s. They lived, short brilliant lives along with the Ford Pinto and Chevrolet Vega and are now equally hard to find. They were not better than albums; they were worse than albums save for the fact that you could drive around with them. I do miss the clunky quirkiness of the ensuing cassette tape that allowed you for the first time to make a mixtape for your girl-friend. This brought ser-enading to the masses. Except for a few of those reel-to-reel audio-philes, this also marked the first time in history that you could listen to music in any order you chose. You could even move fluidly between genres to impress your potential love object with your depth.

You could do the same thing with CDs with bonus points for the shuffle function so that even after listening to it for the 100th love-

lorn time, you wouldn’t be able to guess which song was coming up next. After that, music and dat-ing descended into the Dark Ages. I guess you could send an MP3 mix as an email attachment or an iTunes playlist, but it lacked the sincerity of a hand-hewn tactile gift. I guess you could walk

hand-in-hand with dual headphones, but that is a potential pedestrian hazard.

The future probably is something more like Spotify or Pandora where you don’t really own the music; you just borrow it when you need it. I mean you don’t need to own every book in the library; you just need to be able to access them when you need them. Convenient and inexpensive, yes, but it takes away the notion of a hand-crafted gift of music. Plus there is not a used MP3 store to go to when you need a few extra bucks at the end of the month.

It seems like we have been trying to get away from albums with every conceivable technology, but we still come back to them for their retro

awesomeness. I read somewhere that the only recording technology that will work after the world-power-outage-zombie-apocalypse will be the album. You actually can connect a needle to a tin

can or orange highway cone and get a sound out of spinning a record underneath it.

I do miss the social experience of the record/cassette/CD store, but having instant access to

a song that fits your rot-ten mood at 10 a.m. on a Monday is pretty cool, too.

There was a com-petitive spirit to have the best-looking tree. But the decorators were also hav-ing fun as music played during the process.

“I think it’s pretty obvi-ous we do have the best decorated tree, even if we don’t win the prize,” quipped Zoe Fairbairn, who was in charge of the HURD tree.

There were some really original trees. The USU Illusionists used cards, while the Aggie Ski Club had a skier running into the tree.

“I’ve always liked to do unusual stuff,” said Morgan Thacker of the ski club, who came up with the idea for the tree the skiers decorated. “I figured we could show how different our club

is, just something out of the box. ... People have passed by and liked it, which is nice.”

The illusionists were

having fun, as well. “Later, we are going to make our tree disappear,” Jason Por-ter said. “Then suddenly it will appear in a needy

family’s house. We are magicians after all.”

The HURD had an A atop its tree instead of the traditional star.

“We wanted school spirit, so we got the colors blue, silver and white in there,” Fairbairn said. “We are the HURD, so we have to represent Utah State. An A is almost a star.”

A tree skirt made of Aggie Game Day T-shirts accompanied the HURD tree. “We wanted to get involved and like sup-porting organizations,” Fairbairn said. “It’s good that it’s going to families in need.”

USU Chiropractic Club president Lindsay June likes being involved and wanted to get the club involved in some service.

“We’re happy to be part of the Festival of Trees,”

June said. “... I thought we’d be competitive (in the contest) until we got here. There are some good trees. Mostly the thought is someone gets a nice Christmas tree.”

What were Bailey’s impressions of the trees this year?

“Everyone has gotten really creative,” Bailey said. “The main thing I said when I talked to them about decorating trees is to stay true to their organization or club. These are going to fami-lies in need, so I want them to stay intact with the holiday season.

“The ski club’s tree is very interesting and very fun. I love the skier run-ning into a tree. A lot of it is Aggie pride. There are lots of blues and whites and grays. There is no particular tree that I

love. I’m real excited.”The trees were on

display during the week. On Saturday they will be donated to Bear River Head Start and be given to families that are lack-ing a Christmas tree.

“I’ve always been into charity and helping out,” said Evan Thacker, the president of the Aggie Ski Club. “I saw this and the rest of the officers agreed to doing it. Plus, it helps us get our name out there. ... It’s just a fun activity. You get to decorate a tree, then give it away. That’s just awesome.”

That sentiment was echoed by other partici-pants.

“We thought it would be a good idea to pitch in and help out a needy family,” USU Illusion-ists president Steven Viator said.

VoiceContinued from Page 3McCallister (high tenor).

For nearly two decades, thousands of families have made Voice Male part of their Christmas traditions. Known for their blend of humor and tight har-monies, Voice Male has their audiences laughing and throwing ducks one moment, then turning their thoughts to the meaning of Christmas the next. Voice Male’s concert this year is sure to blend old favorites, such as “Tiny Little Baby,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and “The Chip-munk Song” with many of their new arrange-ments, which are sure to become crowd pleasers.

“We love doing our Christmas shows because all of us — the guys in the group, the audience, just everyone

— comes away feeling great,” Huff says.

SeriesContinued from Page 5

The concert will include numbers by a 100-member community choir, as well as several numbers by the Westminster Bell Choir. There will also be two organ numbers, and a guest appearance by the Mountain Crest High School Senior Choir.

The Willow Valley Singers and Players will perform at 7 p.m. Tues-day, Dec. 11. The Willow Valley Singers specialize in A cappella hymns, gospel songs and sentimen-tal songs from the 1800s to modern times. The Willow Valley String Band will join the Singers in a selec-tion of delightful holiday music.

The Towne Singers will present their Christmas music, along with the Mount Logan Middle School RED String Quartet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12. Conducted by Gary Poore and accompanied by Terri Dumcombe, the Towne Sing-ers will present a variety of Christ-

mas songs ranging from traditional favorites to more “pop” numbers. Featuring hree young prodigies, the RED trio got its name from the first letter of the first names of the group: Raymond Li (viola), Emma Cardon (cello) and David Kim (violin). They were a favorite of the summer noon series.

The USU Low Brass Ensembles, which will perform at 7 p.m. Thurs-day, Dec. 13, is made up of the trombone, tuba and euphonium. The ensemble began performing tradi-tional, seasonal, contemporary and jazz arrangements in 1991. All of the music for this program has been arranged by senior music education and tuba major, Bridger Burt. The USU Low Brass Choir is under direction of Todd L. Fallis, Profes-sor of Low Brass at Utah State Uni-versity.

As always, the Logan Tabernacle Christmas Concert Series is free of charge and everyone is welcome. The series encourages shoppers to shop downtown then walk to the tabernacle.

Caleb Chapman’s Crescent Super Band will bring the jazzy, big-band sounds of their brand-new Christmas CD to Utah State University’s Kent Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10. The band hopes to spread holiday cheer and get closer to its goal of rais-ing enough money for a once-in-a-life-time performance at Carnegie Hall next spring. The concert is part of a three-city tour the band will take in early December throughout Utah. Tickets are $10 for general admis-sion, $8 for students and seniors and $35 for a family of four or more and can be purchased at Caine College of the Arts box office. A portion of the sales from the band’s new CD will help defray about

$300,000 in travel expenses the band needs for their debut in New York City at one of the most famous music halls in the world. The CD project was supported by Legacy Music Alliance, a non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting and developing music education and perfor-mance in Utah. The band, composed of teens ranging in age from 14 to 18, recently recorded

“A Crescent Christmas” which includes some of their most requested arrange-ments such as “I’ll Be Home for Christ-mas,” “Jingle Bells” and newer favor-ites like “Boogie Woogie Santa Claus” and “Cool Yule.” Instrumental solos are highlighted in the pieces along with the band’s six fea-tured vocalists.

It’s 71 years and countingsince Pearl Harbor Baywas sneak attacked that December

day.We took the hit as innocent preywith faith our forces would make

them pay.

But we had a “trump” that negative morn;

our carriers were far from the fray.so survived to engage on a later day,and destroy Japan’s proud floating

array.

The action now moved to the South Pacific

as we increased in strength and resolve.

Our losses were huge as we closed the gaps

but our foe faired far worseas we were gradually changing the

maps.

Yet Japan hung tough even when losing,

“How can we end this without chang-ing plans?”

The answer came very secretlywhen Little Boy and Fat Man made

the frayfitted for modified B-29snamed “Bockscar” and “Enola Gay”,and two B-29 escorts to insure the

plan

“Boy” was dropped from 20,000.Its power released at two, and countless unsuspecting victimswere like instant residue.

Enola bounced from the blasteven 15 miles beyond,and blinding light from the masswas brighter than the dawn.Devastation was severebut not as bad as history taught.Plants were growing on the sitesix weeks beyond the drop.

Now, years plus years since “Boy” and “Gay.”

Current nukes are more potent by far,and many more nations nurse themall ready for war.Yes, the future is scarybut not for we vets … we’re not here anymore.

(P.S. Remember Pearl Harbor, but not forever)

“Pearl Harbor Avenged”By Lon Griffin

“May Those Who Live in the Shadow”By Anastasia Trumm

May those who live in the shadow be seen by those in the sunMay those who live in fear be influenced by the ones that live in happinessMay those who are afraid to change be changed by those who aren’t afraid

May people who are afraid, live in fear, and are in the shadows come out to the light and live in happiness

So may those who live in the shadows be seen by those in the sun

“Who is the One”By Katie Glover

Who is the one that really cares, who cares about it all.Who is the one that will pick you up once you start to fall.

Who is the one that will be there when you really need to cry.Who is the one that will be there and never say good bye.

Who is the one that will be there so you can live on.Who is the one that will be there so you can stay strong.

Who is the one that will always be your true friend.Who is the one that no matter what will be there until the end.

Who is the one that will always just be?I will tell you who that someone is.

Me.

YOUR sTUFF

Beauty is …Seeing a struggling person smile,Walking your first mile.Beauty is …Overcoming a fear,Then wiping away your tear.

Beauty is …Not what’s on the outside,But must rely on what you are inside.Beauty is …All the green trees turning to red,Or that kind word that someone said. Beauty is …The mountains melting into spring,

When all the beauty just makes your heart sing.Beauty is …A baby’s first cry,And watching the baby bird fly.Beauty is …A quiet person speaking out,

A crippled person still going about.

Beauty is …An old couple still holding hands,And the young family that have endured all of life’s demands.Beauty is …Loving each other, And being friends with one another.

“Beauty is ...”By Tanya Pirtle

“Best Friend”By Anastasia Trumm

“Rain”By Katie Glover

Having a hard time putting this all together.Knowing what to do or how to make it better.

Life is going much too fast, almost spinning out of control.I can’t seem to hold on to things but I guess that’s not for me to know.

People often say when it rains it pours.But what do you do when you get to that point where you feel

you can’t do it anymore.Some people say I need to keep a sense of humor. But it’s hard to even smile.

I remember when I use to be able to honestly laugh, haven’t felt that way for awhile.

Enjoying the small things is something I’m slowly learning to do.Picking good friends to associate with is something I’m doing too.

The rain keeps falling and then it starts to pour.I start to cry as I feel my heart getting sore.

I finally realize there is nothing I can do to stop everyone’s pain.So I wipe away a tear, go out into the storm and enjoy playing in the rain.

You are my friend Not just my friend but my best friend

You and I are the exact opposite But we fit so well together

You finish my sentences and I finish yours

We know what’s on each other’s minds whenever we look at one an

other

We will never be perfect We will never be the same

We will have flaws and always be different

I will always love you and you will always love me

as a friend

I am like the stem and You are the flower

We will never be apart Through the wind, rain, and sun

You are my friend Not just my friend but my best friend

We will be together through Thick and thin

No Matter What
