FROM THE EDITOR As a father, you’re always concerned about when the time will come that you have to teach your children about death and loss. What I didn’t anticipate was having to teach my 9-year-old daughter about the passing of a television show last week. For some reason, I just assumed she knew that TV series don’t last forever no matter how much you love them. But I guess that’s the understanding
that comes from four decades of having seen my most-beloved shows come and go, from long-running TV classics like “M*A*S*H” and “Seinfeld” to short-timers like the original “Battlestar Galactica” and (the soon-to-be-revived) “Arrested Development.” It’s just a part of life. But coming to grips with the sudden end of “Victorious” — a Nickelodeon series starring teenage singer Victoria Justice — led to tears from my little girl. So, like we did with “Seinfeld,” my wife and I tried to commemorate the final episode with some friends and food from the show. Unfortunately, the teenagers on “Victorious”
mostly ate sushi — not an option for our 9-year old — so the best we could do was tacos and Hawaiian Punch. But when it was filmed, the last episode of “Victorious” wasn’t supposed to be the series finale. So, normal life will seemingly go on forever at Hollywood Arts High School. And considering how ... well, less than funny the series finale of one my favorite shows, “30 Rock,” was last week, maybe that’s not a bad way to go. Because that was just kind of sad in a different way.

It’s time to hit the streets

This border collie/rottweiler mix is about the cutest thing to happen to Cache Humane over the past couple of months. Diesel is a young pup that has most of his basic obedience down, and he will continue to do better and better. He would do best in a home equipped to deal with large needs. Diesel is over 75 pounds at nine months, and he has some growing still to do. We would love for him to go into a home that is patient and willing to teach him how to properly act.

all mixed up Small Potatoes comes up big The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with the talented duo Small Potatoes at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West. Tickets are $13 and are available via PayPal at www.bridgerfolk.org, by calling 757-3468, or you can take your chances at the door. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended. The concert is co-sponsored by Utah Public Radio and Import Auto. Nineteen years ago, Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso, the Chicago-area duo known as Small Potatoes, decided to hit the road. “In one year, we quit our jobs, bought a house, bought a car, and became full-time folk singers — not exactly the greatest combination, financially speaking, or what most people would call a sound business model,” Prezioso said. “We didn’t throw darts at a map, but we might as well have.”
Prezioso and Mainning might not have had the best plan, but what they did have were great songs and musicianship, and the ability to put on a show. After nearly 20 years, a million-and-a-half miles (not to mention five Dodge Caravans) and 3,500 shows, WHAT: Small Potatoes WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 WHERE: Crumb Brothers Bakery COST: $13
they are listed as a “favorite act” by many coffeehouses, clubs and house concerts across the U.S. They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Festival and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Hold your breath because here comes “Thoroughly Modern Millie” in a magical, mythical musical set in the Roaring Twenties when bobbing your hair and rolling your stockings was considered daring. Millie even colors her lips! Come out and support this year’s musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie” presented by Sky View High School’s very own Sky High Players. The show opened Thursday, Feb. 7, and will run Feb. 8 to 11 and 14 to 16. The show begins at 7 p.m. instead of the usual 7:30
p.m. curtain. Tickets are only $7 online at skyviewtix.org or $8 at the door the night of the shows. Group rates are available by calling 7579591. It’s 1922 and Millie (played by MaKenzie Davis) has arrived in New York. Millie has guts, pluck, charisma, moxie: a girl with big dreams from a little town. She is scared and excited to be there. She looks at her return ticket, tears it up, then sings and dances with the “moderns” and tells the world to “beat the drums, ‘cause
here comes thoroughly … modern Millie now.” Millie is then mugged and loses her scarf, hat, and shoe and after a tug of war for her purse, she loses that, too. And when Jimmy (Alex Eby) a brash city slicker with an irrepressible, buoyant personality, enters, Millie trips him. He tells her to go back to Kansas but she refuses. And to think, all of this in just the first five minutes! Don’t miss this fun, fast moving, musical with great songs and fabulous dance numbers.
A little taste of space Tabernacle Series presents an ‘Evening with the Stars’ The next event in the Logan Tabernacle Concert and Lecture Series is back by popular demand. “An Evening with the Stars: Cache Valley’s Role in Space” tells the history of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, Utah State University’s involvement and will show many of the stunning images captured by the WISE instrument on the Tabernacle’s large screen. “An Evening with the Stars: Cache Valley’s Role in Space” will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, in the Logan Tabernacle and is free of charge. The presenter is John Elwell, the program manager for the Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer, built by USU’s Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL). The WISE telescope was created by SDL for NASA to survey the whole sky. Launched into orbit in December 2009, WISE scanned the entire sky in infra-
red wavelengths, taking millions of spectacular images and discovering distant galaxies, comets and brown dwarf stars, and thousands of previously unknown asteroids. Elwell holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering, and he has spent the last 25 years working on space instrumentation. He has been involved in a variety of NASA and military programs, ranging from upper atmospheric research looking at aurora, to monitoring global earth systems with the NASA Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer, and most recently managing the WISE program for mapping the entire universe in infrared light. After spending his childhood taking apart old radios and TVs, Elwell entered college only to be disappointed to find that vacuum tubes were no longer part of the curriculum. In his spare time, he still

Anyone who enjoys looking at the night sky will be delighted with this presentation. The presentation, first given a year ago, was one of the most talked about events in recent Logan

The minimalism to which director Steven Soderbergh confronts filmmaking is admirable. So often we get caught up in the CGI-dominated Hollywood blockbuster machine that we forget about storytellers like Soderbergh who continually focus on characterdriven dramas. He’s announced that “Side Effects” will be his last feature film. If that’s actually true, he’ll be missed. “Side Effects,” the story of a woman besieged by depression and anti-psychotic drugs, is a perfectly engineered Soderbergh thriller complete with brooding characters, lushly framed shots, and a deliberately slowforming plot. The woman in question is Emily (Rooney Mara). Her husband (Channing Tatum) went to prison for insider trading. Ever since his arrest and conviction she’s been battling a host of mental problems, chief among them, depression. The mood is set right away as we’re sucked into the story by its blood-stained pro-

NEW YORK (AP) — The love-struck zombies of “Warm Bodies” swarmed the box office on Super Bowl weekend with a $20 million opening.

John Mijares fondly recalls his childhood days playing baseball on the streets not far from San Francisco. After the games, he and his friends would walk down to the neighborhood grocery store and buy packs of trading cards, hoping to find one of their heroes. “We’d look for our favorite players get some of these older cards in various during that time, which was the ’60s,” conditions.” he said. “And we were avid Giant fans.

A 1953 Topps started collecting cards when I was that Willie Mays, who he idolized growing age because we were just enthused with baseball altogether.” During high school, though, the hobby fell dormant, as he focused less on collecting and more on competing in track and field and cross country. For years, Mijares, 57, never thought much about collecting cards again. But when the Giants won the World Series in 2010, the hobby was rekindled. “It brought the little kid back out in me to watch and enjoy the Giants,” Mijares said. “I was a big Giants fan back then, and when I saw the Giants win the World Series, all hell broke loose, and it started up again!” In the 1960s, Mijares and his friends would buy packs of cards for five cents. “We’d sit there, and we’d trade the cards,” he said. Now, all the Logan resident has to do is go on eBay and find the right combination of his favorite players, an affordable price, and a reputable seller. “I’ve got quite a few cards of my own that I saved from my childhood, and I have (since) enhanced my collection up. While Mijares has never met Mays with some of the stars and some of the — “That’s my dream,” he says — he years that I was unable to get a hold of. has tried on one of the Hall of Fame Because some of these cards are older slugger’s baseball gloves.

“I go, ‘Really? Can I put it on?’” Mijares said. “And I put it on, and it was just a little small glove. ... It was a hell of a good glove. And I thought, ‘Wow, I put on a Willie Mays glove.’ That’s the closest I’ve gotten.” While Mijares occasionally collects cards from other sports, such as football and basketball — he’s the proud owner of a 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card — baseball cards of legends past, mostly from the 1950s and ’60s, are his real passion. “Sports altogether, but particularly baseball, was a big part of my childhood,” he said. “We would put numbers on our shirts of our best players. So I looked up to a lot of these guys, and it just motivated me to just have cards of these guys in a collection.” You can bet Mijares hears it from family and friends who don’t quite get his card collecting zealousness. “They think I’m having a childhood crisis, reliving my childhood,” he said. “But to me … it’s a good little investment. I tell my kids, ‘Hey, if I leave you these cards, don’t think about selling them for another 20 or 25 years. Then you’ll make money on them.’” Still, that doesn’t stop his wife from thinking he’s “addicted.” “My wife says I’m addicted, so it’s starting to worry me,” he joked. But Mijares says he’s always careful to stay within his budget, while adding about three to four new cards on average to his collection each month. “I collect them because I just enjoy having them,” he said. “It’s just a part of me, and it just brings back my past of remembering these guys and how the game was played.”

Among the takehome lessons from the Super Bowl are that brothers fight, commercials can be great when companies are suitably motivated, if you look like Beyonce nobody cares if you lip synch, Ray Lewis should be Oprah’s next guest and the light bulb is still an emerging technology. Focusing on the latter, you should know that the newest emerging technologies are secretly designed for middle-aged and older people. I have a little secret to divulge.

New tech is paying off for the old school like they were made from tiny Legos. Sound systems are becoming more sophisticated because we blew out our eardrums listening to all that loud rock ‘n’ roll on cheap boom boxes we carried around on our shoulders. Bluetooth, noise-canceling headphones and ear buds? That’s all for us. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg may think he invented a really cool new thing, but in reality it is the world’s largest scrapbook and grannies make up one of the largest percentages of new people logging on. So much so, there probably should be a new term called gram-spam:
the ability of your little old granny to now send mass mailings to the entire extended family with the click of a mouse. You want grandma’s secret pumpkin-pie recipe? Here it is coming at you on a PDF. You though hanging out at the genealogical library would distract her? Now she can spend days and weeks online tracing your family line back to the first protoplasm. And she can call you a lazy jerk for not sending your poor old grandma a video of the new kids’ first steps; because she just knows you have an iPhone. So there she sits tapping her foot waiting for the inbox to beep.
There probably is some grand-spam too, but it sounds too much like a Denny’s breakfast special. This brings me to the newest innovation; the Google self-driving car. I mean, don’t you wish someone or something other than old people were driving cars? No doubt they will first be available in Florida and Arizona. And as an added bonus, all you kiddos can safely text and tweet till your fingers bleed while you cruise down the road. Don’t say we never did anything for you. ———

La Catrina Quartet coming to Utah State Feb. 21 Chamber music with a Latin-American flavor is coming to Logan. La Catrina Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, at the USU Performance Hall. This unique concert will highlight Mexican composers as well as traditional classical chamber music. Regular tickets are $24, $10 for students and may be purchased at the door prior to the concert or through the Caine College of the Arts Box Office at the Chase Fine Arts Center, room 139-B, online at arts.usu. edu or by phone at 797-8022 Hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as wonderful ambassadors for music, the La Catrina Quartet is one of the most sought after ensembles on tour today. “Young, talented and passionate, Mexico’s renowned La Catrina Quartet is rapidly earning a reputation as a world-class ensemble,” says Columbus Arts.com. Founded in 2001, the quartert takes its name from a popular Mexican folk icon. Daniel Vega-Albela, Jorge Martínez
and César Bourguet are originally from Mexico, and their newest member, Roberta Arruda, is Brazilian. The quartet’s unique blend of Latin-American and standard repertoire has proved enormously entertaining for its diverse audiences, catering to the more traditional concertgoers while also attracting the next generation of listeners. Their infectious personalities infuse their playing, creating truly compelling performances. Every note the La Catrina Quartet plays is performed with energy, purpose and meaning. The Los Angeles Times wrote, “Mexico is known more for its mariachis than its string quartets, but the La Catrina Quartet [is helping] change some assumptions . . . youthful energy and mature artistry.” The group says its triple mission is to perform the masterworks of the string quartet repertoire, to promote Mexican and Latin American concert music worldwide, and to

work closely with composers in order to promote the performance of new music. Currently in Residence at New Mexico State University, the La Catrina Quartet tours regularly throughout the U.S. and Mexico. Among its numerous recognitions was a showcase performance of the “next generation’s classi-
cal music star performers” in Carnegie Hall. The quartet is recording four CDs of Mexican, Latin-American and European string quartet music. For its Logan concert, the Quartet will perform two beautiful traditional classical selections: Franz Joseph Haydn’s Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 64, No. 5 (“The
Lark”) and Antonin Dvorák’s Quartet in F major, Op. 96 (“The American”). The other three selections are from accomplished Mexican composers. Manuel Ponce’s Estrellita is a brief serenade which became a universal favorite, especially in Latin America and in the USA between World War I and World War II. “Canambu” by Eduardo Gamboa is based on the official dance of Cuba. And Javier Alvarez’s intricately playful “Metro Chabacano” is a unique cultural composition first performed in Mexico City’s busiest and biggest subway station. La Catrina Quartet will also hold a master class from 2:45 to 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the USU Performance Hall. The quartet will work with young musicians to expand their musical expertise and work directly with professional musicians. Middle, high school and college students are encouraged to attend. It is free and open to the public.

Another chapter to another book. Please turn the pages and take a look. Please take a seat, this might take a while. Some pages might make you cry, while others will make you smile. My last book was mostly sad, I don’t want this one to be the same. A lot of it I’m proud of while a lot of it I’m ashamed. Please don’t judge me or by what I say. If you’re going to, put this book down and walk away.
This book is filled with my most private things. So turn the pages and tell me what feelings this brings. Some days I’ll be happy, other days I’ll be sad. Yet everyday I’ll reminisce over all the feelings I have. Please don’t laugh or have pity over me. Just read each word and I hope you will see. That someday I was happy while others I was sad.

It’s a mixture and that’s the reason why the film found an audience.” Action films continued to fare poorly in 2013, as Sylvester Stallone’s “Bullet to the Head” opened with just $4.5 million for Warner Bros.

million in January. But both openings were poor. Along with the weak performance of Jason Statham’s “Parker,” which has taken in $12.4 million in two weeks for FilmDistrict, moviegoers aren’t turning out for traditional R-rated action movies. That trend should reverse itself when Bruce Willis’ “A Good Day to Die Hard” opens Feb. 14, Dergarabedian said. Last week’s top film, Paramount’s “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” dropped to second with $9.2 million on the weekend.
The other debut of note was Lionsgate’s “Stand Up Guys,” which stars Al Pacino and Christopher Walken as veteran gangsters on a last hurrah romp. Though it opened in limited release in 659 theaters, it took in just $1.5 million. The most Super Bowlappropriate film in theaters, the Oscar-nominated “Silver Linings Playbook,” continued to add to its stretched-out run for the Weinstein Co. The film, which centers on a family of diehard Philadelphia Eagles fans, came in third place, adding $8.1 million for a cumulative total of $80.4 million.
