FROM THE EDITOR

ver the last few years Planned Parenthood’s annual Chocolate Festival has served me well. About four years ago, I was in desperate need of a couch. I use the word desperate lightly because, at the time, I was actually living in student housing near USU campus in a place full of couches. I would be moving to an unfurnished apartment within a matter of months, however, and being a recent college graduate, I didn’t have a lot of cash for furniture. My bedroom set would come from my parents’ house; it was the same one I’d

received when I was 4 years old. All other furniture would be hand-me-downs or purchased at the D.I. Or would it? I attended the Valentine Pro/Am Chocolate Festival that year where dozens of desserts were tasted and auctioned off, and a big raffle drawing finished the night. The event, a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, drew a large crowd as it always does, and I got my fill of chocolate. On a whim, I bought tickets for the raffle drawing, eyeing a love seat donated by Edwards Furniture. Then, I waited. I sat patiently through the auction where cakes, chocolates and pies were sold for hundreds of dollars to very generous people in the valley. Then, dozens of prizes donated by local businesses were given away, and finally, raffle numbers were read off for

the couch — and they were my numbers. You know those moments when you just can’t believe your luck? This was one of those moments for me. That couch is in my living room and I love telling people that I won it. Two years later, I decided to enter the festival with my own chocolate creation. I’m not usually a baker, but that day I took first place in the chocolates category, winning an hour-long massage. Like I said, the festival has served me well. For those of you who have never been, the chocolate festival really is a fun event. People are amazingly creative with their entries, and it always feels nice to support a good cause. This year’s festival is Saturday. Read all about it on page 8. — Manette Newbold

USU Youth Conservatory presents annual Monster Concert on Saturday The annual Utah State University Youth Conservatory Monster Concert returns to campus Saturday, Feb. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall, located in the Chase Fine Arts Center. Close to 500 students ages 5 to 18 will participate in this year’s concert. Unlike a typical piano recital, the students will perform in rotations of 20 students on 20 pianos, playing their parts in unison. “It’s like an orchestra of pianos filling the Kent Concert Hall,” said Kevin Olson, director of the Youth Conservatory and assistant professor of music in the Caine College of the Arts and the Department of

Music at USU. This year’s theme, “Once Upon a Time ...,” features the Utah Storytelling Guild whose members will provide narration between songs. The songs and stories will combine into a fantasy fable for audience members. The event is family-friendly and children of all ages are invited to attend, Olson said. The Monster Concert has been a yearly event since the 1980s. All proceeds will go toward a scholarship fund to support students and families with tuition for piano lessons at the YC. Tickets for the Monster Concert are $3 for general admission, $10 for a family group ticket and free

all mixed up Treat your Valentine with dinner, magic On Friday, Feb. 10 and Saturday, Feb. 11, the American West Heritage Center will offer a special dinner for two, prepared by Logan’s historic Bluebird Restaurant, followed by a vaudeville-style program of magic and music in the opera house. Wagon rides to and from the venue, historicallyattired staff and “spontaneous” gunfights will all be a part of both evenings. Seating for dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with the magic and music performance in the opera house following. The performance will feature repertoire from the Hatch family’s acclaimed ensemble performances, including “The Ink of the Enamored,” an effect conceived by the great Viennese conjurer, Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser (1806-75) in which the transformational power of love is tested with a borrowed wedding or engagement ring. Also on the program are Punx’s “Heart of Glass,” accompanied by SaintSaens’ “The Swan,” and “The Music Box of Anna Eva Fay,” inspired by the famous vaudeville psychic. That trick will be accompanied by the first movement of Beethoven’s celebrated “Moonlight Sonata.” Tickets are $55 per couple or $28.50 per person. For the show only, tickets cost $25 per couple, $15 per person and $12 per child. Dinner reservations are required by Feb. 7. Tickets may be reserved by calling the American West Heritage Center at 435245-6050.

t doesn’t take much for Mckenna Lewis to get excited about her role as Cinderella in Music Theatre West’s “The Slipper and the Rose.” Not only does she have the lead role in the show, but she says it’s like fulfilling every little girls’ dream. “I keep having little girl moments ... every little girl wants to be Cinderella, so sometimes I just get giddy and twitterpated that I’m playing Cinderella.” Lewis has been acting on stage since she was 12 years old, her first part as the mean orphan in “Annie.” Lewis has worked with the Utah Festival Opera Company, Sky High Players, Pickleville Playhouse, Old Barn Theatre and Music Theatre West. • Lewis says her favorite role was Beth in “Little Women” about four years ago. “It just was a touching show and it was a very deep show and so we developed a lot of close relationships in the cast.” • Music has always been a part of Lewis’ life. She says her parents both sing and have beautiful voices, and she’s played piano since she was a child. For the last two years, she also sang with Latter-day Voices, Logan LDS Institute’s audition choir. • “The Slipper and the Rose” is the British version of “Cinderella” and includes a twist in the ending where Cinderella is taken away from the prince. Lewis says that part is dramatic, and it’s one of her favorite scenes. • “It’s super heartfelt and she’s just singing with everything she’s got in her, so it’s fun to do that scene.” • Lewis says one thing that makes Music Theatre West shows unique is the live orchestra. • “The live orchestra is one of the reasons why it’s a very neat experience to go because it’s not pre-recorded music. It’s live, happening right there, so it’s a much fuller, richer sound and it just kind of adds to the whole experience. And the dresses and the costumes are incredible, too. I understand that they’ve got some awesome set pieces, so I think it’s just going to be a really, really impressive display of a lot of neat elements.”

Experience ancient Greece at anthropology museum Ancient Greece is the topic at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” activity provided by the Museum of Anthropology at Utah State University. Activities take place Saturday, Feb. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum. Interactive stations will be set up throughout the museum where guests can journey to ancient Greece. Museum visitors can learn about fashion in ancient Greece, the history of Greek culture, the mythology of the Greek gods, Greek art and how archeological excavations contribute to the understanding of ancient Greece. Activities for children will be provided throughout the day. Visitors can make copies of constellations named by the Greeks or make up their own constellations, event organizers said. “It’s no secret that the ancient Greeks have influenced the modern world,” said Prairie Fox, a Saturdays program planner. “From our system of government to the popular children’s books “The Percy Jackson Series,” Greek culture is still constantly affecting modern society.” The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information about this event, call 435797-7545 or visit anthromuseum.usu.edu.

wenty-five years ago, Lee Austin had no idea how the first-ever Valentine Chocolate Festival would pan out. Little did he know, it would become one of Cache Valley’s premier fundraisers. “We really had no idea what kind of response we would get and it was over and above all of our expectations,” Austin said. A year ago, the festival raised more than $22,000 for the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah and Logan Health Center. In fact, Nancy Sassano, who is on the Beehive State’s board of directors for Planned Parenthood, said this is the non-profit organization’s top fundraiser in all of Utah. “I think the chocolate theme is definitely something that people rally around,” Sassano said. “They love the creativity of the entries, the quality of the entries and the people that come to the Chocolate Festival are very much supportive of Planned Parenthood.” As a result, Sassano is very much looking forward to the 25th anniversary of the Valentine Pro-Am Chocolate Festival, which will take place Saturday evening at Accolade at Hamiltons Steak & Seafood. The public tasting and silent auction portion of the event will be held from 6:15 to approximately 8:30, with the live auction starting at 8:15. All dessert items — which fall under a range of categories, including brownies, cookies, cakes, chocolates, pies, tarts and non-chocolate desserts — will be assessed by a panel of judges before the auctions begin. Simply put, if you’re a fan of a wide array of goodies or are looking for a Valentine’s gift for that special someone, this is an event for you, Sassano said. “There’s really something for everyone,” said Sassano, who is the chair of the Chocolate Festival organizing committee. Not only are there a vast array of desserts, other items will be up for bidding. A year ago, a few of those items included a Thai dinner for eight, Spanish tapas and wine tasting for eight, a massage/pedicure package, bread baskets and an interior design consultation. Jeff Hunter/Cache Valley Magazine

Raffle tickets can also be purchased at the Chocolate Festival, with the grand prize generally being a piece of furniture donated by Edwards Furniture. Colleen O’Neill, who has helped organize the event since moving to Cache Valley in the mid-2000s, once remembers the grand prize recipient donating the love seat back to the auction. That act of generosity epitomizes what this festival is all about. “There’s quite a community in Logan that supports non-profits,” O’Neill said. “I have to say I’ve been very impressed by that, the level of community involvement.” If you plan on purchasing the most popular and delectable items, prepare to spend a handsome amount of money. Last year’s Thai dinner for eight — and their were two of them — went for $1,700 dollars apiece. The more pricey purchases are made during the live auction, which features the judges’ favorite items. The first- and second-place winners in each category, the Grand Prize and People’s Choice winners and all Professional entries are made available during this auction. Last year’s Grand Prize dessert, a dish of fudge truffles, went for $550, and the majority of the live auction items go for more than $200. “Another thing I remember was spending way too much money on a dessert, but enjoying it to no end,” said Val Grant, who served as the festival’s auctioneer for 20 years. “Yeah, some of that stuff was like buying a $1,000 bottle of champagne or something, but gosh it was just so good.” Those who have tighter budgets or are more frugal in their choices can purchase much more affordable items during the silent auction. Goody bags are also available for purchase, “so there’s a whole range of possibilities for people to contribute,” O’Neill said. Those patrons who are leery of bidding on items can still enjoy the ambiance of the event and sample the desserts for $10. A donation of $10 (per person) allows one to sample 10 different treats — none of which require refrigeration and none of which are made with raw eggs. As for those who construct the desserts, they are divided into four categories: Amateur, Professional, Parent-Child Teams (under 13) and Teen (13-17). According to the entry form, professionals are classified as caterers, pastry chefs, culinary arts students and restaurateurs. “The one thing that’s kind of cool is the non-professional desserts sometimes bring in more (money) at the auctions than the professional desserts,” said Sassano, who has been involved in planning this festival for at least 13 years.

Chronicle

Participants are judged on taste, texture, appearance/presentation and creative use of chocolate, according to the entry form. The competition is friendly but fierce, said Sassano, who estimated each entrant invests at least $100 to prepare their items. The top three in each category are awarded prizes. “It’s really hard for the judges to pick the best because it’s all really, really good,” Sassano declared. Approximately 500 people attend the Chocolate Festival each year, which ensures the 50 or so volunteers — everyone who invests time in the event is a volunteer — are kept on their toes. “The thing that’s always struck me the most is how impressive an event it is — the way it’s organized completely by volunteers and how well the committee works together,” O’Neill said. “I’ve done a lot of volunteer work over the years and this committee works so well together.” The first Chocolate Festival was held in 1987 and became a reality thanks, in large part, to the efforts of Mary Leavitt and Mary Piette. Before moving to Cache Valley, Piette lived in a part of Hawaii where a chocolate-based fundraiser was held. Grant, who was on the local chapter of Planned Parenthood’s board at the time, was all for trying something new. “We were searching diligently of ways to try and earn money for Planned Parenthood and one of the ways that was used, and not well, was making unsolicited phone calls asking for help,” he

most likely influence us to become good or evil. It’s pretty simple right? Andrew is constantly beat on by his father. His mother is sick and dying. Does Andrew think that the world is good and fair? No. It’s an unjust place and now that he has power, he feels like he can bend it to his whims. The setup between superhero and villain is the best part of “Chronicle,” but it takes a little too long to get there. It’s fun watching these kids abuse their powers in harmless, prank-like ways, but soon we want the story to progress. By the time the movie comes around to its climax, it cheats quite a bit. There are times you’ll find yourself wondering, “OK, now who’s filming?” The answer isn’t easy, because the filmmakers simply assume the audience is fully invested in the gimmick and won’t ask questions about where actual footage is coming from. In the end, “Chronicle”’ is a decent-enough addition to the superhero genre with a new way to tell the story.

said. “And gosh we all hated it.” Austin, who was also on the board at the time, was more skeptical. He wasn’t sure the community would get behind an event like this, but Piette was very persuasive and optimistic. “She thought this would work in Logan because there’s nothing else like it,” Austin said. “I mean, everyone does dinners and auctions, and now we have fun runs, bike races and golf tournaments. But this seemed like an interesting idea, so we kicked it around for a while and decided to go ahead and reserve the Whittier Center.” Much to Austin’s delight, the place was packed and “I was worried that we were going to run out quickly.” Austin credits a lot of the event’s initial success to the gregarious Grant — “he’s a ham,” Austin asserted — who took over the auctioning duties after the bidding had started. To this day, Austin’s favorite memories of the festival involve that first year and “trying to make

that fairly austere gymnasium at the Whittier Center look like a place for a big celebration.” Austin still can’t believe how high the bidding went in the event’s inaugural year. The festival was held at the Whittier Center from 1987-1989 and has since been held at Aspen Grove (1990-93), the Bullen Center (1994-2010) and now Hamiltons. Grant, who still volunteers as an auctioneer for an occasional Stokes Nature Center fundraiser, will forever have fond memories of his involvement with the Chocolate Festival. “I loved it. I could just stand up there and make a fool of myself and sell chocolate and raise money,” he said. “Yeah, it was just a kick ... because the type of auctioning that I did was really more of a comedy routine than anything else.” More information on Saturday’s fundraiser can be found at www. thechocolatefestival.com.

Hinkamp’s additions to ‘The Devil’s Dictionary’ Slightly Off Center DENNIS HINKAMP

I was watching a Republican debate and a hockey game broke out. All the mean-spirited politicking caused me to revisit one of my favorite books. Since I had a short attention span way before the Internet, one of my favorites is actually a brief piece of non-fiction called “The Devil’s Dictionary,” written by Ambrose Bierce in 1906. If it were written today it probably would be described as “snarky” and likely would contain a few pages on technology. In Bierce’s honor, let me give it a try. • Webinar — a new technology that allows anyone to bore thousands of people at once with their bland PowerPoint presentation. On a positive note, webinars make it possible to attend meetings while wearing your pajamas, checking your email and eating your lunch. • Apple — a computer company that turned gadgets into fashion accessories and decided that the letter “i” didn’t need to be capitalized. • Twitter — a tool that prompts you to compress your deepest thoughts to 140 characters and tell everyone what you ate for lunch. • Facebook — a highly personal diary that you leave out on the sidewalk for people to read, share and comment on. Then someone writes down all your personal information and sells it to retailers who will bug you for the rest of your life. • Terabyte — the cyber version of renting one of those storage sheds on the edge of town because

you have hoarders syndrome. • YouTube — the medium that made being viral an ambition. • Tech support — polite-speaking people in distant lands who secretly laugh at you. • Google — a silly noun that became a verb then grew up to become a monster. • Yahoo — a search engine that died because saying Yahooed doesn’t sound nearly as cool as Googled. • Quad core — your computer after extensive work on pilates. • 3G, 4G — cell phone company jargon for “you people will believe anything.” • Blog — a place similar to a bog where you can put all the stories and letters to the editor that have been turned down by reputable publications. • Comment boxes — the only unequivocal evidence Satan is real and the illusion of anonymity is like handing out mean pills. • Avatar — your real imagined self. • Hot spot — the thing that develops on your backside and makes you wriggle around after too

many hours online. • Multitasking — an excuse for avoiding completion or doing any one thing well. • Wikipedia — the magic 8-ball of reliable information. • Phishing — confirming “there’s a sucker born every minute” was an overly optimistic assessment of human gullibility. • Social media — the politically correct term for fooling around on the Internet and trying to figure out a way to make money doing it. • Dial-up — a method of Internet use akin to trying to eat an apple by sucking it through a soda straw. • Cloud computing — a method of remote data storage that requires the same dogged optimism as people who install white carpeting. • Netbook — a gross book after taxes. • Virus protection — the source of an uninterrupted income stream designed by former hackers. • Tablets — what the Ten Commandments were written on and now a portal to breaking every one of them. • Tech consultant — unemployed. Dennis Hinkamp would like to thank the political system for its sustainable supply of angst. He is among a number of freelance writers whose columns appear in The Herald Journal as part of an effort to expose readers to a variety of community voices. He is not an employee of the newspaper.

Books Making a case for Elizabeth Taylor as a feminist By Ann Levin Associated Press

Elizabeth Taylor was many things: a talented actress whose first star turn came at age 12 in “National Velvet”; an international celebrity whose eight husbands included her “Cleopatra” costar Richard Burton twice; an AIDS activist long before it became fashionable; a recovering addict, diet book author and friend of Michael Jackson; and a voluptuous, violet-eyed, raven-haired beauty for the ages. But was she a feminist? In a new book published almost a year after Taylor’s death, the cultural critic M.G. Lord maintains that Taylor was indeed that, notwithstanding her well-known affection for fabulous jewels, clothing and accessories not

normally associated with the women’s rights movement. Taylor’s stepdaughter Kate Burton, with whom the actress maintained a close relationship after Richard Burton’s death, disagrees with the premise, although she acknowledged in an interview that she sees “the thread of feminism” in some of her stepmother’s movies. “I don’t see her thinking of herself as a feminist,” she says. “I think she just does what she does.” Burton may be right, but Lord makes a fairly persuasive case that Taylor, even if she didn’t identify herself as a feminist, was such a commanding and original presence in both her personal and professional life that she instinctively communicated empowering messages to women. Thus the title of the book, “The Accidental Femi-

tive role model for women. In “Accidental Feminist,” she discovers latent feminist content in nearly a dozen Taylor vehicles, beginning with 1944’s “National Velvet,” when Taylor’s character dresses as a boy to ride her beloved horse in a national championship race. She goes on to consider Taylor’s roles in “A Place in the Sun,” “Giant,” “Suddenly, Last Summer,” “BUtterfield 8,” “Cleopatra,” “The Sandpiper” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” as well as her stage portrayal

nist: How Elizabeth Taylor Raised Our Consciousness and We Were Too Distracted by Her Beauty to Notice.” In the 1994 book “Forever Barbie,” Lord argues that the plastic doll with impossible curves was actually a posi-

‘Helpless’ a deeply puzzling thriller By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

A divorced father with a teenage daughter finds himself plunged into a suburban nightmare in Daniel Palmer’s “Helpless.” Tom Hawkins is a former Navy SEAL who is battling his ex-wife, Kelly, for visitation rights with his daughter, Jill, who wants nothing to do with him. He coaches soccer at the local high school, and Jill becomes one of the star players — though she would rather have someone else calling the shots. During a practice session, the police arrive and tell Tom that his ex-wife has been murdered. He immediately realizes that he’s the No. 1 suspect.

Tom’s nightmare has only begun: The police discover a blog detailing his secret love affair with one of the players on the soccer team. A

search warrant uncovers tons of teen pictures, with several team members in provocative poses. Tom is arrested for distributing child pornography, and he has to find out how someone could frame him so completely — and why. Even the FBI’s forensic computer analysis team believes he’s guilty. A man trying to be the best father he can be to his reluctant daughter now also has to prove his innocence. Trust plays a key role in the narrative of this compelling and deeply puzzling thriller. The end game is a bit complex, but the journey is worth the ride. Palmer has a gift with realistic characters — and a writing style that guarantees a sleepless night.

of a Southern matriarch in the 1981 revival of Lillian Hellman’s “The Little Foxes.” Like Kate Burton, you may not be entirely persuaded that “the subversive drumbeats of feminism ... swelled in the star’s important movies over decades from a delicate pitty-pat to a resounding roar.” But this provocative feminist appreciation will surely tempt you to rent or download her best movies, to acquaint or reacquaint yourself with this marvelous force of nature.
