UTAH STATE COLLEGE
OF ENGINEERING HIRES ASSOCIATE DEAN
LOGAN — Christine Hailey was named associate dean for
the Utah State University College of Engineering this July.
A licensed professional engineer, Hailey comes to Utah State
with experience in industry and academia.
Hailey most recently served as the department head of mechanical
engineering at the University of Texas at Tyler. Hailey worked
with the faculty at UT Tyler to develop its new mechanical engineering
program and also worked to strengthen the research program in
the department. She said she understands the demands placed
on faculty time while supporting an educational mission of a
university.
"While I was at UT Tyler, faculty were able to secure funding
from NASA and NSF, in addition to supporting our primary mission
of undergraduate education," said Hailey.
College of Engineering Dean Scott Hinton said Hailey will be
an asset to the college. Hailey will have the responsibility
to lead the college's new engineering education initiative and
to strengthen the college’s research infrastructure.
"I would like to establish a stronger research culture
in the college that is complemented by a strong educational
component," said Hailey.
Hailey will work with Hinton and fellow Associate Dean Wynn
Walker to improve the research conducted in their college. Because
of experience working in academia as well as experience working
in the private sector, particularly at Sandia National Laboratories,
Hailey understands how organizations with strong research cultures
operate. At Sandia, Hailey worked as department manager of the
parachute technology and unsteady aerodynamics department, working
on several research projects including one to develop a technology
transfer program that allowed weapons parachutes to be useful
in civilian applications. Other projects at the lab included
working closely with NASA on the redesign of the Space Shuttle
Orbiter parachute system.
As associate dean, Hailey will also work to develop an exciting
freshmen experience for students just entering the college.
"We would like to attract the best and brightest students
in Utah and the region to our college and then retain them in
our programs," said Hailey.
Hailey earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics from Colorado
State University and a master's and doctorate in mechanical
engineering from the University of Oklahoma.
"Dr. Hailey's background includes both industrial and academic
leadership experience," said Hinton. "This is an ideal
mix to help move the College of Engineering into next century."

BOOK EXAMINES
NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONS
LOGAN — Utah State University professor Barre Toelken
got his start as a folklorist when he was adopted by a Navajo
family at age nineteen. He was a lost uranium prospector who
came down with pneumonia in their canyon.
Now he's written a book that repays his debt to the Navajo culture
and those who saved his life, "bodily, spiritually, culturally
and professionally."
The Anguish of Snails, published by Utah State University
Press, examines Native American visual arts, dance, stories
and songs, humor and thought patterns.
"Toelken's book is the culmination of a lifetime spent
working and living with American Indians and studying their
traditions," said editor John Alley. "His study of
Native American folklore in the West demonstrates what can be
gleaned from Indian traditions by Natives and non-Natives alike.
"Toelken considers popular distortions of Indian beliefs
and demystifies many traditions by showing how they can be comprehended
within their cultural contexts," Alley said. "He also
considers why some aspects of Native American life are not meant
to be understood by or shared with outsiders. He emphasizes
how much can be learned through sensitivity to and awareness
of cultural values."
Barre Toelken is the author or editor of numerous books and
articles on folklore and related topics, including The Dynamics
of Folklore, Morning Dew and Roses: Nuance, Metaphor,
and Meaning in Folksongs and (with Larry Evers) Native
American Oral Traditions: Collaboration and Interpretation.
He is the author of the journal Western Folklore and
professor of English at Utah State University.

FIGHTING ANIMAL
DISEASE AT THE NEW CENTRAL UTAH LABORATORY
NEPHI — The new Central Utah Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory
opened its doors following a July 21 open house. The Nephi facility
serves livestock producers, veterinarians and animal owners
in the central and southern parts of the state. The laboratory,
a branch facility of the state diagnostic laboratory in Logan,
is a cooperative venture of the Utah Agricultural Experiment
Station, Utah State University and the Utah Department of Agriculture
and Food.
The new 5,000 square foot facility replaces the branch diagnostic
lab in Provo which has aided veterinarians and livestock owners
since 1979. The new laboratory will provide a wider array of
tests than its predecessor, and houses a powerful lift to unload
large animals. The lobby doubles as a conference room for continuing
education seminars. In addition to a new building, two new staff
members — an office assistant and a serologist/microbiologist
— will be available to better serve clients.
"We appreciate the efforts of the legislators who have
helped to move this project forward," said UAES Director
Paul Rasmussen. "The lab is very important to farmers and
ranchers in the central and southern parts of the state and
their legislators have been very effective helping us to meet
their needs."
Jane Kelly, veterinarian and diagnostician currently at the
Provo lab, will continue to work with animal owners at the Nephi
lab, and both the Logan and Nephi locations will be under the
direction of Thomas Baldwin. In recent years the Utah Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory staff has performed more than 37,900 diagnostic
tests annually. The services are vital to the economic strength
of the state's animal industry as scientists diagnose diseases,
discover toxins and provide proof of animal health prior to
their being sold or transported across state lines. In addition,
technicians at the laboratories are on the front lines of defense
against diseases such as West Nile virus and chronic wasting
disease and aid veterinarians in diagnosing maladies in companion
animals.
"The better our labs are the better our diagnostic services
will be, whether we are working with pets or food animals,"
said State Veterinarian Mike Marshall. "We have great cooperation
in the state between people in agriculture, public health and
wildlife management, and we are dedicated to safe food, safe
people and controlling the spread of disease."

ALL
ABOARD FOR THE OLRC'S 2003 SEASON FINAL STOP
LOGAN — The Old Lyric Repertory Company's 2003 summer
comes to a close with the run of production number five, The
Last Train to Nibroc by Arlene Hutton. The romantic comedy
marks the end of the season Aug. 6–9 at the Caine Lyric
Theatre in downtown Logan (28 W. Center).
Ticket information is available by calling the Smith Spectrum
Ticket Office at (435) 797-0305. Tickets are also available
on the Web at www.usu.edu/lyric.
The Caine Lyric box office is open one hour prior to curtain
on performance nights and noon to 8 p.m. Saturdays. Tickets
purchased at the theatre box office are for that date's performance
only. For general inquiries call (435) 797-1500.
Set in the American South during WWII, the play includes three
scenes in which Raleigh, a sincere young man with a sly sense
of humor, and May, a feisty, altruistic young woman, seem to
be at cross purposes but are actually moving toward one another.
On a train from Los Angeles to Corbin, Ky., May thinks she and
Raleigh are strangers, even though they come from the same small
Kentucky area.
May's father is a landowner, while Raleigh's is a sharecropper.
May also wants to become a missionary and is disappointed by
every man she meets. Raleigh is good-humored and indulgent,
with no ties to classifications of society. The tale is about
a hesitant, chaste and improbable romance that forms over three
separate meetings.
The added play is a change from the normal four productions
of the OLRC season, but the company wanted to give something
a little extra this summer, said co-director Colin Johnson.
Besides the number change, The Last Train to Nibroc
also adds a twist to visiting actor Amy Tribbey's role in the
company.
"When Amy was hired and joined the company this summer,
it was a deciding factor to stage this production," Johnson
said. "Amy has performed The Last Train to Nibroc a number
of times, with great success."
That's not all — in addition to her acting experience
with the piece as the main character, Tribbey is teaming with
Johnson (who is also the director of this summer’s Forever
Plaid) as a co-director for the OLRC production.
"As an actress performing in a two-person show I anticipate
a certain amount of difficulty in directing while also on stage,"
Tribbey said. "But this is Nibroc. I know this
show intimately, and delight in it — it's one of the best
roles I have had the opportunity and great fortune to play.
I imagine we may get tied up at times during rehearsal, as I
will most likely have to stop the action entirely in order to
give a note — I won’t have the ability to watch
and take notes at the same time. I expect this may try Mr. Zeller's
patience, but I know him to be a very generous and gracious
actor, so I am sure he will forge on. He knows what he’s
in for stepping into this role, as I have done it before without
him, that certainly being one of the positives. I am so looking
forward to doing this show with him, and bringing a whole new
life to it. Patrick is going to be
wonderful in this role."
Tribbey's acting partner in the two-character piece, Patrick
Zeller, said he is pleased to be working with OLRC this summer.
This production of Nibroc marks his first appearance
west of the Mississippi. His recent stage credits include Andrew
in I Hate Hamlet at the Penobscot Theatre/Maine Shakespeare
Festival in Bangor, Maine, and Evan in As Bees in Honey
Drown with the Stoneham Theatre Company in Boston, Mass.
Zeller received a bachelor of fine arts degree in acting from
Emerson College and has continued his classical training with
Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Mass. Commercial credits
include spots with Nike and Sam Adams. Other recent projects
include the feature film A Totally Minor Motion Picture
with Jet Pack Productions and a year-long documentary piece
exploring the rising culture of fear in America with the Present
Tense Theater Project. Zeller resides in New York City where
he continues to pursue his career in theatre, television and
film.
Tribbey said she hopes audience members who see Nibroc will
see themselves in the character of Raleigh and May.
"I so adore this show and am very happy to be doing it
in Logan," she said. "In the past and in every venue
people love this play — the characters are so charming
and funny and quirky and lovely."
The Last Train to Nibroc has been staged by regional
theatre groups across the country, with the best-known productions
taking place at the 78th S. Theatre Lab and the Douglas Fairbanks
Theatre in New York during 1999.
Hutton's play was a finalist for the Francesca's Primus Prize.

ALUMNI BAND OFFERS
SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR LAST CONCERT OF THE SEASON
LOGAN — Utah State University's alumni band presents
a program of youthful and upbeat musical selections for the
last concert of the summer on Sunday, July 27.
"The band will play selections by John Williams from the
hit movie Harry Potter," said Nicholas Morrison,
director of the band. "Band members are hoping that this
will be particularly pleasing to the many younger concert-goers
who come to the performance."
The concert also features a performance by Craig Jessop, Utah
State University alumnus and musical director of the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir. Jessop will sing with the band from The
Fantasticks, a medley of hit tunes from the musical of
the same title.
"This is a special occasion for the band and for me,"
said Morrison. "I am honored that Craig would agree to
sing while I am conducting."
Other concert highlights include musical selections such as
Strike Up the Band by Gershwin and Suite of Old
American Dances by Bennett. An alumni and student flute
ensemble is included in the program.
The head of the Utah State music department, Bruce Saperston,
will make the official dedication of the band room as the "Max
F. Dalby Rehearsal Hall" as part of the program.
The concert is in the Kent Concert Hall at 7 p.m. Admission
is free and children are invited.
"We'd like to extend a thanks to our very supportive audiences
throughout the summer," said Morrison. "We'd also
like to remind permanent residents of Logan that the Utah State
University bands maintain an active schedule throughout the
year."

WHY DOES THE
BIRCH TREE WEEP? MAYBE IT'S OUR CLIMATE
LOGAN — The European weeping birch tree is commonly
found in North America. It is a graceful tree with a weeping
habit and beautiful white bark, said Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State
University Extension horticulturist. Its leaves provide a soft
rustle as the wind drifts through the tree.
"The only problem with this tree is it doesn't seem to
like Utah," he said. "It doesn't actually hate the
state, it just has issues with our climate."
This European native is accustomed to growing in a somewhat
acidic soil where the weather is wet and mild, Goodspeed explained.
The fact that it doesn't care for Utah's growing conditions
doesn't mean that it can't be planted here. In fact, a few of
these choice trees have grown in our area for years, have adjusted
to our lifestyle and even seem to thrive. However, there are
also many that look sick and miserable or have even died.
Several things are causing problems for these beautiful trees,
he said. Along with the low humidity, Utah's drought conditions
have stressed and weakened them, making them more vulnerable
to insects like the bronze birch borer.
"Although the European weeping birch is the one most commonly
planted, other birches grow in our area and seem to be a little
less touchy about their growing conditions," Goodspeed
noted. "There is even one that is native to our canyons.
"The water birch (Betula occidentalis) is a nice, small
tree which grows in our canyons close to streams and other moist
locations. This tree, which is normally found growing in multi-stemmed
clumps, reaches a height of around 20 feet, with an equal spread.
The bark is red to copper in color, and like all birches, has
light colored, horizontal lenticle scars which create an attractive
pattern on the darker colored bark."
A tree that looks similar to the water birch is the river or
red birch (Betula nigra). This tree also has a wonderful red-
to light-brown bark with attractive lenticles. It looks great
when grown in clumps as a multi-stem trunk and can reach heights
of 30 to 40 feet, he noted.
The red bark on both the river and water birch peel as the tree
matures. Both trees prefer a well-drained, moist soil but tolerate
heavier, wet soils. They can grow in partial shade, Goodspeed
said.
"As a general rule, a birch with red or cinnamon-brown
bark is slightly more tolerant of our climate and growing conditions
than the white bark species," he said. "However, with
proper care and maintenance, it is possible for a white barked
birch to survive in our area and look good in the landscape."
One of the more popular white-barked birch trees is the paper
or canoe birch (Betula papyrifera). This tree’s name is
derived from its white bark that peels off like paper as the
tree matures. It is a large birch ranging in height from 40
to 60 feet tall. It has the same climatic concerns as the European
weeping birch, but may be a little more resistant to the bronze
birch borer, Goodspeed said.
Another very attractive tree is the crimson frost birch (B.
X Crimson Frost). This newer selection is just gaining popularity.
One distinctive characteristic is its purple to red colored
leaves in the summer, which turn crimson to yellow in the fall.
The bark is antique white to cinnamon colored. Its susceptibility
to borers is still being questioned, but preliminary reports
suggest is has some resistance, he noted.
The whitespire birch (B. platyphylla japonica Whitespire) is
also supposed to be bronze birch borer resistant, said Goodspeed.
This birch has white bark, an attractive shape and nice fall
color. It can grow up to 40 feet tall and appears to be better
adapted to our harsh weather conditions.
"One problem for some birch trees is that stink bugs like
to gather on the leaves," said Goodspeed. "These mean-spirited
insects then drop onto an unsuspecting gardener or visitor and
present them with a somewhat odoriferous gift. Although these
insects are not harmful to the tree, they can make a real stink
if the tree is by a patio or deck. A registered insecticide
may help the situation."
Regardless of which birch tree is chosen, remember that drought
conditions can be very hard on them. Birches that are stressed
due to trunk damage, insufficient water, abuse or neglect are
more prone to a bronze birch borer invasion or other problems.
To increase their ability to withstand our climatic conditions,
water them deep and keep lawn mowers and weed eaters away from
their trunk. Plant birch trees in a protected area if possible,
and give them plenty of care. If treated properly, they can
live for many years in our climate, and even learn to like it
here in our arid state, Goodspeed concluded.

AG PROF NAMED
TO POSITION WITH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE
LOGAN — Lynn M. Dudley, professor in the department
of plants, soils and biometeorology, was recently elected president-elect
of the Pacific Division of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS-PD). AAAS is the world's largest
scientific society, serving 10 million individuals in more than
130 countries. The society advances science and innovation throughout
the world, and publishes the prestigious journal, "Science."
Dudley is co-author of a book published by AAAS-PD, which addresses
the problem of toxic levels of selenium, arsenic, uranium, nitrates
and pesticides in Western irrigation systems. The problem was
first noticed in the mid-1980s when elevated selenium levels
caused reproduction problems among waterfowl at a wildlife refuge
in the San Joaquin Valley. The book focuses, in part, on ways
to reduce toxics using irrigation engineering, physics and geochemistry.
The research was funded by the President's Initiative on Water
Quality.
Utah State University can look forward to having the AAAS-PD
meet on its campus next summer when Dudley assumes the presidency.
The Pacific Division encompasses California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Montana west of the Continental Divide.

FIREWISE LANDSCAPING
LOGAN — Fire danger is reaching its peak and homeowners
whose land borders undeveloped land should take extra precautions
to protect their property from wild fires.
A landscape that gives a building the best chance for surviving
a wildfire is one that provides a defensible space, said Michael
Kuhns, Utah State University Extension forestry specialist.
Fires need fuel, oxygen and heat to burn. Defensible space landscapes
are low in fuel, keeping the fire far enough away that firefighters
have a chance to defend the building. To construct a defensible
space:
1. Cut tall grass near structures. A fire in dry grass burns
quickly and is very difficult to control.
2. Remove excess brush and small trees from at least 30 feet
around buildings. Dense brush burns quickly and can provide
a "ladder" for low flames to reach up into larger
trees. Widely spaced trees and shrubs can be left in the landscape
for shade and esthetics.
3. On larger lots, maintain a fuel break of lowgrowing plants
30 to 70 feet out from buildings. Such fuel breaks act as a
buffer between the manicured landscape near the home and the
adjacent wild land.
4. Rake up leaves and twigs. Remove plant litter (dead leaves,
twigs, etc.) that accumulates under trees and shrubs to reduce
fuel loads.
5. Tree litter that accumulates on roofs and in gutters should
also be removed regularly. Large amounts of litter can accumulate
on lower branches of trees and shrubs and should be removed.
Removal of heavy litter accumulations in adjacent wild land
areas also should be done if possible. Removed litter should
be placed in an approved landfill. It should not be piled on
the property or in adjacent woodlands.
6. Prune tree branches. Prune branches up to ten to 20 feet
above the ground on large trees to prevent low fires from reaching
the tree crowns.
7. Thin dense tree groups. Though grouping trees is normally
a good landscaping technique, in fire-prone areas it can be
hazardous. Thinning these groups will slow the spread of fire.
8. Remove firewood and other combustible materials from around
buildings. Firewood should be stored on the outside edge of
your defensible space.
9. Make sure firefighters can reach all parts of your property.
Place fences, trees, retaining walls, etc., so that they don't
restrict firefighting equipment access.
10. Choose landscape plants that are less flammable. All plants
will burn if a fire is severe enough. Some plants are more fire-prone
than others, however. Conifers, such as pines and spruces, tend
to be fairly flammable, while many broadleaved trees are fairly
fire resistant.
11. Cooperate with neighbors to provide large defensible spaces.
A 30-footwide clear space around a home may not be adequate
in a severe fire, especially if neighboring properties have
not been welldesigned or maintained. Neighbors should cooperate
to reduce fire risk by having good defensible spaces that join
one another.
12. Check your landscape monthly. Maintenance is a never-ending
task. Inspect landscapes regularly and attend to problem situations
before they become serious hazards.
Though a 30-foot wide defensible space around a home is generally
adequate, maintain the additional fuel break at 30 to 70 feet
if possible, Kuhns said. Houses located high on steep slopes
will need wider clear spaces to protect against fires burning
uphill. Local wind conditions may also warrant wider cleared
areas. These techniques will not guarantee complete fire safety.
However, firewise landscaping can greatly increase a home's
chances of survival if a fire occurs.

HEAR
AWARD-WINNING PIANISTS AND SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIPS
LOGAN — The Cool Classic Summer Concert Series has been
a tradition at Utah State University for a number of seasons.
The series features the talents of young pianists, many who
have captured important competition titles, and proceeds support
piano scholarships at Utah State. This year's concerts are July
30, 31 and Aug. 1
All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and are presented in room 214
of the Chase Fine Arts Center. Free parking is available in
the lot directly west of the building after 4 p.m. Concert tickets
are available at the door. Admission is $5 per concert, or $10
for a series pass to all three concerts.
This year's Cool Classics Summer Concert Series offers three
sizzling evening programs showcasing young prize-winning pianists
and piano masterworks of Bach, Barber, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin,
Greig, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Ravel, St. Saens and more,
said Brooke Reynolds, series coordinator this year and Youth
Conservatory coordinator in the department of music at Utah
State.
Each concert provides a different theme, Reynolds said.
On Wednesday, July 30, "Young Pianists" is the theme
of the evening. All performers are under age 18 — and
each exhibits extraordinary musicianship and performance ability,
Reynolds said.
Three of the evening's performers — John Sargeant (13),
Bronwyn Tarboton (13) and Brandon Lee (17) — have performed
with the Utah Symphony Orhcestra in the "Salute to Youth"
concerts. Others on the evening's roster have won top prizes
in piano competitions in both Utah and Idaho.
Thursday, July 31, is "College Night" and features
Utah State University piano majors. "Under the direction
of professor Gary Amano, the piano program at Utah State has
gained an international reputation," Reynolds said. "One
of the performers of this second concert, Aram Arakelyan, came
to study at Utah State from Armenia."
Other performers for this concert, though Utah natives, have
traveled across the country winning national competitions, Reynolds
continued.
The Friday, Aug. 1, concert features an entire evening of piano
classics by the Coombs family under the banner of the "Coombs
Family Pianists."
The Coombs family has been a favorite in the Cool Classics for
many years. This summer features returning pianists, Hilary
and Jonathan, currently studying at The Juilliard School in
New York, who will be joined by their younger siblings Zachary
and Natalie.
" This concert is certain to be a memorable, musical experience,"
Reynolds concluded.
Funds collected from ticket sales benefit the USU Piano Scholarship
Fund. For additional information please call (435) 797-3018.

THE
PLAIDS MAY NOT BE AT THE CAINE LYRIC FOREVER, BUT AN ENCORE
PERFORMANCE GIVES THEM ONE MORE NIGHT
LOGAN — The Old Lyric Repertory is bringing back the
boys in plaid for one encore performance of the heavenly sent
"Forever Plaid" Tuesday, July 29, at the Caine Lyric
Theatre in downtown Logan (28 West Center).
The musical comedy seems to be an instant hit, according to
local theatre reviewer Bruce Ackerman, who said: "The fabulous
foursome (and supporting company) of the Lyric’s 'Forever
Plaid' not only touch perfection, but grab it by the handfuls
and sling it around the walls of the tiny jewel box theater
all night long. If this show gets any better over time, as it
is likely to do, watch out.
"These Plaids may find themselves at heaven's gate sooner
than they expect! It deserves no less than four perfect claps
out of four on the applause meter."
The encore performance of the production also has an added bonus.
The OLRC is giving the night something special, a curtain raiser
prior to music and mayhem. The company's fifth production, "The
Last Train to Nibroc" by Arlene Hutton, will serve as a
warmup to the evening — the first act of "Nibroc"
begins the evening followed by a 15-minute intermission before
the boys in plaid take center stage.
The preview of "The Last Train to Nibroc" serves as
an enticer for the additional production the OLRC is taking
on this summer, said Colin Johnson, OLRC executive producing
director. The fifth play runs in its entirety Aug. 6 through
Aug. 9.
Ticket prices remain the same ($10-$15) for the night, and OLRC
merchandise prices are discounted for the event. For ticket
information contact the Smith Spectrum Ticket Office at (435)
797-0305 or visit the OLRC Web site at www.usu.edu/lyric. For
general inquiries call (435) 797-1500. The Caine Lyric Box Office
is open at 7 p.m. for the evening.
After seeing the first act of "The Last Train to Nibroc,"
Johnson encourages patrons to return for the complete production
— the production adds the finishing touches to the OLRC's
season Aug. 6 through 9, he concluded.
