CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Pat Green on April 10 will headline the Cattle Baron's Ball, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The decade is getting off to a brisk start, thanks to a busy spring schedule at the Multi-Purpose Events Center facilities and Memorial Auditorium. They're brimming with almost a dozen country concerts, comedians, family events and sports entertainment events. B.B. King, who was at the auditorium Saturday, ushered in a busy season that will continue on the music side with Miranda Lambert and Wade Bowen (Feb. 13) and Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker (March 12), though the Flatts/Rucker concert — confirmed on Rucker's official site, www.dariusrucker.com — has not been announced by the MPEC, which is awaiting official confirmation from the band and promoter. A slew of comedians aim to tickle a funny bone or two, such as Ron White (Jan. 31), Rodney Carrington (March 11) and Paul Rodriguez (March 19). In the sports entertainment realm, look for the Harlem Globetrotters (Jan. 25) and the World to Wrestelmania Raw tour (Feb. 28), while children's shows on the horizon include Disney Live's Rockin' Road Show (Feb. 13) and the Lipizzaner Stallions (Feb. 23-24). Of course, spring is always bustling with festivals. There's the St. Patrick's Day Festival (March 13) and Cajun Festival (May 8), both downtown, the Red River Wine Festival (April 17), along with the big Woodystock Red Dirt Music Festival (April 17). Those who love the arts might want to check out a photography exhibit by Lou Reed at the Wichita Falls Museum of Art at Midwestern State University (opening Jan. 22), an exhibit by Larry Lemons at the Kemp Center (opens Aug. 12), "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Wichita Theatre (in July) or "Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical" at Backdoor Theatre (Oct. 8-23). And look for all the returning favorites, from the Oil Bowl football classic (June 12), which was rained out last year, to the World of Wheels car show (Feb. 5-7), Kiwanis Pancake Festival (Jan. 30), FallsFest (Sept. 24-25) and the Texas-Oklahoma Fair (Sept. 14-18), to name a few.

| New purveyor of tasty treats racing to famed Brickyard - Ibj.com Posted: 07 Jan 2010 08:06 PM PST Outsourcing efforts at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway continue. It's all part of IMS President Jeff Belskus' plan to return the Speedway's focus to racing. Under Tony George, the IMS handled its own food service and even sought to grow that division by taking on jobs at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and other outside venues. Belskus, who was the IMS' chief financial officer before taking over for George last summer, is far from done overhauling the Speedway's business. Belskus also is taking a hard look at operations of the Speedway's golf course and an announcement regarding that is expected in the coming weeks. Belskus stressed there are no plans to sell or close the course, which has been part of the Speedway for more than eight decades and once hosted a PGA Senior Tour event.

| Motorcycle sculpture found, taken by sculptor - Pantagraph Posted: 07 Jan 2010 06:48 PM PST LINDON -- Police have found the $100,000 statue that was taken from Timpanogos Harley-Davidson on New Year's Day, but whether criminal charges will be filed has yet to be seen. Lindon police chief Cody Cullimore said the statue appears to have been taken in the midst of a civil dispute between the artist who created the racing motorbike sculpture and the owners of Timpanogos Harley-Davidson. He said police had statements from both parties claiming ownership of the statue. The artist, Jeffrey Decker, provided a loan agreement allowing the business to display the statue as long as the business paid to insure it. On the other hand, Timpanogos Harley-Davidson provided documentation from bankruptcy filings in which the statue is listed as an asset of the business, Cullimore said. Decker approached the business 10 days ago and said he was going to take the statue, and the business said he could not. As of yet, it is unclear what crime, if any, occurred. "We don't have any idea if we're going to have criminal charges right now or not," he said. Police are continuing to investigate and will present their evidence to prosecutors to consider charges. Cullimore said there appears to have been some miscommunication between the parties. If charges are filed, it is possible Decker will face a charge of theft, or possession of stolen property. Even if he had the right to the statue, Decker may face criminal trespassing charges for going onto the business's property to take it. Cullimore said owners and employees at Timpanogos Harley-Davidson suspected Decker took the statue, but they were still right to report the statue stolen in order to have a full investigation. Assistant service manager Kyle Kelsey said several people at the business suspected Decker had taken the statue because he created it and has taken other statues away with permission in the past. Having delivered items to Decker's shop in Springville before, Kelsey said he knew where Decker's shop was and decided to stop there on his way home. He said when he passed the business, the statue was still on a flatbed in the driveway. Kelsey quickly snapped some photos with his phone, contacted his boss and sent the photos to police. Kelsey said the situation is somewhat awkward because he has obligations to his employer, but he also knows Decker. He worked with Decker and was not at the shop to get him into trouble, Kelsey said. "He's a really nice guy," he said. Charlie Openshaw, co-owner of Timpanogos Harley-Davidson, said the ownership of the sculpture is clear to him. The new owners of the business bought Timpanogos Harley-Davidson and its assets in bankruptcy court, and the statue is an asset of the business. "It's pretty clear to us," Openshaw said. "It's not like we didn't pay for it. We did pay for it." The previous owners of the business paid at least some money for the statue, and Openshaw said if there is dispute over whether Decker was paid for the statue, that dispute is with the previous owner. It is not up to Decker to take the statue, he said. "There's a right and a wrong way to do things," he said. One thing is certain, however, Openshaw said. Along with the statue, a large granite block was taken. The removal of that block was certainly theft, because it never belonged to Decker, Openshaw said. The large block has deep historical significance because it was used as a counterweight for cranes building the Salt Lake City temple, he said. "He clearly does not own the granite block, which he took as well," Openshaw said. Decker referred questions to his attorney, Randall Spencer, who said the issue is still potentially in litigation. "At this stage, we don't have any comment on the matter," Spencer said. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
| Troy Lee McQueen Helmet Debut at Anaheim 1 - Motorcycle USA Posted: 07 Jan 2010 02:30 PM PST
Troy Lee Designs today announced a three-year licensing partnership with the Steve McQueen estate, which is represented by GreenLight, to produce a collector's edition helmet line, to be unveiled to the public for the first time this week. The Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda Racing Team, which includes Wil Hahn and Cole Seely, will wear the helmet at this weekend's Anaheim 1 Supercross race on Saturday, January 9 at Angel Stadium. The new SE3 helmet, which will be on display at the Troy Lee hospitality area at Anaheim 1 and at the Troy Lee showroom in Corona, will retail for $525, with only 700 units going into production. Features of the new SE3 helmet include Dual Density Shock Pad System, and Dual Density EPS Liner, a newly designed nose guard, air ram top scoop intake, aggressive high flow mouthpiece, and quick-release cheek pads for emergency helmet removal, as well as a McQueen helmet bag. This will be the first in a series of Steve McQueen helmet styles that will roll out over the next three years. The first helmet in the line will be available at select retailers in the U.S. and internationally and online at www.troyleedesigns.com in June 2010. "My dad was an avid motorcyclist and huge supporter of the sport," said Chad McQueen, Steve's son. "It's great to see his love for motorcycling live on through new collector's edition helmets." "I have looked up to Steve McQueen my entire life," says Troy Lee. "I have always held great respect for him and everything he represented. I am truly excited to forge this relationship and look forward to designing a collection that represents Steve's timeless style and personality." Steve McQueen left an indelible imprint as one of Hollywood's most charismatic leading men. His balance of masculinity and sensitivity made him both a man's man and a ladies' man all at once. His revered roles in films such as Bullitt, The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair and Papillion have been often imitated but never repeated. An actor, race-car driver and father, McQueen was the epitome of the American dream, rising from hardscrabble circumstances to become one of the most famous movie stars in the world. His amazing life story is chronicled on his official website stevemcqueen.com. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
