Heather (Jensen) Peterson, passed away peacefully on April 2nd, 2024, after a 17 year battle with cancer, at the age of 59.

Heather was born March 4th, 1965 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Elsie and Reid Jensen, the youngest of their 3 children. She worked as a chemist for Kennecott Copper Mine And Salt Lake City Corp. She was an aide with the Cache County School District and was the Library Director at the Cache County Library in Providence, Utah. Her favorite job of all, however, was raising her 3 children.

She married her first husband Newton Holmquist on March 16th, 1991. They have 2 children, Holly and Bailey.

Heather married her current husband and eternal companion, Ronald Peterson, on January 24, 2003, and they were sealed on October 1, 2004 in the Logan, Utah Temple. Together, they have one daughter, Miranda.

Heather was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Her testimony of the gospel was ever growing. She attributed her successes in life, whether they were big or small, to that testimony.

She loved to craft, and sing, and she was an expert at the sewing machine. She made everything from clothing to costumes and bags to organizers. She even designed and created her eldest daughter's wedding dress. Heather was amazingly loving, caring, and wise both as a wife and a mom. She had the best advice and raised smart, strong, and independent children. She adored being a grandma and spent her time playing, reading, and singing with her grandchildren. She possessed endless love and care for everyone she met regardless of their background or lifestyle.

Heather was preceded in death by her parents, Reid and Elsie Jensen, her brother, Bryce Jensen, and her father-in-law Robert Peterson.

Heather is survived by her loving husband Ronald Peterson, and her children Miranda Peterson, Holly (Kolby) Naef, and Newton Bailey (Lisa) Holmquist. She is also survived by her sister Heidi Jensen, mother-in-law, Cornelia Peterson, and sister-in-law Brenda (Peterson) Brown, her nephews, Jordan and Ashton Brown, as well as her beautiful grandchildren Finley Naef and Emery Holmquist.

Heather and her family are so grateful for the love and support they have received over the many years from friends, neighbors, and ward members. She wanted to give a special thanks to Julie, Mitzi, and Gina from her chemotherapy who made a difference in her life.

BRING ME THE HORIZON’s ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’ Album Is ‘Nearly Finished’ – BLABBERMOUTH.NET

Posted on by

On the red carpet of the 2024 BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena on Saturday (March 2),BRING ME THE HORIZON singer Oli Sykes and drummer Mat Nicholls spoke to NME about the status of the band's long-awaited new album, "Post Human: Nex Gen". The LP was originally due last September, but was pushed back due to "unforeseen circumstances", with Sykes and the rest of BRING ME THE HORIZON "unable to complete the record to the standard we'd be happy with".

"It's nearly finished, but it's not finished yet," Oli told NME earlier today. Mat concurred, saying: "It's not quite finished, but it's closer than it has ever been. We came back off tour and built a studio in Sheffield and, yeah, just cracked on, got our heads down and everyone pulled together. And, yeah, we're getting there. It's this close. [holds two fingers very near each other]"

When the interviewer noted that BRING ME THE HORIZON has been promising the new album "for a while", Oli said: "Every time we think we've got it, we get another song, and it's, like, 'Oh.' It's gonna be very good though. It's like the best album ever. So it'll be worth the wait."

Mat added: "It does sound really good, and we're really happy with it. It takes time, doesn't it? You can't rush these things."

In January, BRING ME THE HORIZON released a new song called "Kool-Aid". The track was the first to arrive following the departure of longtime keyboardist and percussionist Jordan Fish in December.

Earlier this week, BRING ME THE HORIZON teased "Kool-Aid" by sharing a brief snippet in an Instagram story. The band also revealed in an official newsletter that the song was "coming soon" and available to pre-save/pre-add for fans.

Fish joined BRING ME THE HORIZON in 2012 and appeared on the albums "Sempiternal", "That's The Spirit" and "Amo", which he helped write.

BRING ME THE HORIZON has been called one of the most forward-thinking metal bands in the world. As it has grown, BRING ME THE HORIZON has undergone a musical progression from its earliest days as a metalcore band, in large part because of the production talents of Fish.

Jordan had been a major influence on BRING ME THE HORIZON's sound, inspiring many of the edgy guitar riffs and other elements on the "Sempiternal" album. His music production fingerprints can be found all over "That's The Spirit", which offered a stylistic departure from the metalcore genre.

When BRING ME THE HORIZON announced Fish's departure, the band said in a statement: "BRING ME THE HORIZON has decided to part ways with Jordan Fish. We want to thank him for the musical journey he took with us and wish him luck with everything in the future. Meanwhile we continue to work on 'Nex Gen', with brand new music coming very soon."

Fish added in a separate statement: "I'm really grateful for my 11 years with the band, and extremely proud of all that we have achieved together. I look forward to hearing what they do next, and wish them every success in the future. I'm excited to start this next chapter in my career."

The Ally, a Play About Israel and Free Speech, Tackles Big Issues – The New York Times

Posted on by

Before his audition for The Ally, a new play by Itamar Moses, the actor Michael Khalid Karadsheh printed out the monologue that his character, Farid, a Palestinian student at an American university, would give in the second act.

The speech cites both the Mideast conflicts specific history and Farids personal testimony of, he says, the experience of moving through the world as the threat of violence incarnate. Karadsheh who booked the part was bowled over.

I dont think anyone has said these words about Palestine on a stage in New York in such a clear, concise, beautiful, poetic way, said Karadsheh, whose parents are from Jordan and who has ancestors who were from Birzeit in the West Bank.

Farids speech sits alongside others, though, in Mosess play: one delivered by an observant Jew branding much criticism of Israel as antisemitic; another by a Black lawyer connecting Israels policies toward Palestinians to police brutality in the United States; another by a Korean American bemoaning the mainstreams overlooking of East Asians. These speeches are invariably answered by rebuttals, which are answered by their own counter-rebuttals, all by characters who feel they have skin in the game.

In other words, The Ally, which opens Tuesday at the Public Theater in a production directed by Lila Neugebauer and starring Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother), is a not abstract and none too brief chronicle of our times, a minestrone of hot-button issues: Israelis and Palestinians, racism and antisemitism, free speech and campus politics, housing and gentrification, the excesses of progressivism even the tenuous employment of adjunct professors.
