A new local band, The Vine of Hearts is comprised of Heidi Boehm, Drew Viator, Julie Perry, Tyler Craig and OP Guardarrama. On the cover: Founded by Perry, The Vine of Hearts will perform at Why Sound on Saturday, Feb. 22. (Eli Lucero/Herald Journal)
FROM THE EDITOR It’s Friday, Feb. 14. Valentine’s Day. And love is in the air ... and inside this issue of Cache Magazine. It’s everywhere. This week’s cover story by Natasha Bodily just happens to be on a new band from Cache Valley named The Vine of Hearts, and Natasha’s profile of the group founded by Julie Perry includes some form of the word “love” on 12 different occasions. Perry says her No. 1 focus with The Vine of Hearts isn’t to get rich, but rather to “spread the love.” And even when she
admits that she’s occasionally tempted to beat on violinist OP Guadarrama, Perry adds, “But with love.” Love will also blossom tonight at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville with the presentation of Valentine Evenings of Elegance and Magic with local magician Richard Hatch, his violinist wife, Rosemary, and their pianist son, Jonathan. That’s a magical evening for sure. And, of course, for those who find the 1930s more romantic than our current decade, there’s Jazz Night at the Sky Club. Presented at the Logan Golf & Country Club, the 10th annual event features live big band music from the USU Jazz Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, jazz vocalists and local jazzman Larry Smith, who will deliver the tunes of Ella Fitzgerald and Glenn Miller
for those in the mood to dance. Then there’s Aaron Peck’s review of the new romantic movie, “Winter’s Tale” on page 3. It’s not a coincidence, of course, that this adaptation of the popular 1983 novel is being released on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, Aaron found the “Winter’s Tale” a bit too sappy, and, despite all the love flowing forth from the most romantic day of the year ... he didn’t love it. However, on page 7, Aaron was rather enamored with the remake of “RoboCop” — an outcome that he was clearly surprised by — but that does not necessarily mean that it’s a good idea for the men of Cache Valley to attempt to take their dates to a scifi/action movie tonight for Valentine’s Day.

‘Winter’s Tale’ runs cold Movie fails to capture passion of the book By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
Mark Helprin’s 1983 novel “Winter’s Tale” is famed for being a fantastical mythic tale of good versus evil. Demons fighting against the miracles that the human race possesses, and hope overcoming fear of the unknown — all set in a turn of the century New York City. Writer Akiva Goldsman (“The Da Vinci Code”) is tasked with adapting the story for the big screen. Those who are acquainted with the source material will almost certainly find it lacking in key areas. There are rumors that director Martin Scorsese thought “Winter’s Tale” was “unfilmable.” True or not, that’s probably an accurate statement given the quality of the product Goldsman has put together. “Winter’s Tale” is a story about small-time burglar Peter Lake’s (Colin Farrell) struggle with a demon named Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe). When I say demon I mean it, too. Soames may wander around New York’s Burroughs like a mob boss, but under that human flesh he’s hell spawn. We’re never really let into the reason why demons stroll
“Julie’s house has all these vines — I looked up at the ceiling and the vines were in a shape of a heart — that’s love. The vines — that is because we’re all connected. All our love is connected in a vine.” – Vine of Hearts’ Tyler Craig on the band’s name (Page 8)

freely amongst the living, but we’re left to assume that they’re simply looking to curtail the amount of miracles going on in the world. Consumption has blanketed New York, stealing lives of young, otherwise healthy people. Peter meets
one such lady while burgling her home. Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay) is dying. Yet, like so many stories professing the fairytale thought of true love at first sight, “Winter’s Tale” would have us believe that after a few words Peter
and Beverly fall madly in love. It’s ludicrous really, but we buy it to an extent because, well, it’s a movie. However, because their relationship is built on literally one happenstance meeting, it’s hard to ever believe this all-encompassing love they have for one another. No matter. What you need to know is that Peter is in love with Beverly. Soames hates Peter, and wants to kill Beverly before Peter’s miracle can be performed. Apparently every human has one miracle to give.

all mixed up Preston Jazz Band presents ‘Moondance’
By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor
The fact that the Preston High School Jazz Band is hosting “Moondance: A Night of Dining and Dancing” is a good sign that the once-lost music program is finally back and running at full speed. When director Wayne Manning first started teaching music at PHS six years ago, he says there hadn’t been a jazz band at the school for four or five years, and before that, the previous directors had struggled to find enough students

In Logan, the quartet will play Mahler, Fauré and Brahms. On their first North American tour in 2010, the Los Angeles Times said “(The Fauré Quartett) played with refinement and grace,” while The Calgary Herald said,

The Fauré Quartett will play Tuesday night at the USU Performance Hall.
“The playing is tremendously confident and assured, a confidence born of true musical understanding.” The four musicians met almost 20 years ago at the Karlsruhe Music Lyceum at the 150th anniversary of Gabriel Fauré, a highly influential French com-
poser, pianist and teacher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. “Chamber music is the only true form of music and the most authentic expression of a personality,” Fauré See FAURÉ on Page 6

Workshop on ‘Injustice’
A workshop entitled “Roots of Injustice, Seeds of Change: Toward Right Relationship with America’s Native Peoples” will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, at the Unitarian Universalists meetinghouse, 596 N. 900 East. Suggested donation: as you can. The Toward Right Relationship project of the Boulder Friends Meeting (Quakers) offers this workshop in response to calls from Indigenous leaders and the World Council of Churches. The two-hour exercise traces the historic and ongoing impacts of the Doctrine of Discovery, the 15th-century justification for European subjugation of non-Christian peoples. Our goal is to raise our level of knowledge and concern about these impacts, recognize them in ourselves and our institutions and explore how we can begin to take actions toward “right relationship.” We provide a resource kit with suggestions for continued study, reflection and action.

Valentine’s magic and music COMING UP
NEW YORK (AP) — “The Lego Movie” clicked with moviegoers, assembling an exceptional $69.1 million debut at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates. The better-thanexpected result made the Warner Bros. collaboration with the Danish toy company easily the biggest hit of the year so far. A sequel is already in development for the 3-D animated film, digitally drawn to mimic a world composed entirely of Lego bricks. The film has drawn raves from critics.

The film marks the biggest animation hit for Warner Bros., a studio that despite popular live-action franchises has struggled to develop animated hits on par with other studios. “I can’t imagine this not turning into a long-term franchise,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “This is such a runaway success that Warner Bros is now

‘Robocop’
Aaron Peck
Look, I’m as surprised as you are when I say this: The reboot of “Robocop” is a few directorial choices away from being a truly great sci-fi action movie. No, seriously. It is. Most might be thinking that this reimagining of “Robocop” is a quick cash grab. It doesn’t help matters that the movie is releasing in February, a dumping ground for Hollywood’s underperformers and Valentine’s Day movies. Others might be thinking about “Robocop 3,” which was the last PG-13 rated “Robocop” film, and how much it stunk. Anticipation isn’t really all that high for rebooting the “Robocop” franchise in general terms, but audiences may be surprised at how well this movie is made. “Robocop” serves to restart the story of Det. Alex Murphy, played famously by Peter Wellers, now played by “The Killing” TV star Joel Kinnaman. Murphy lives in the near future, 2028 to be exact.

‘Stories from World War II’ set for tonight Cache Community Connections will present “Life Stories From World War II” at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14, at the Logan Tabernacle. A free lecture open to the public, the event features three men sharing experiences from World War II and its aftermath, including a Dutchman (Henny Verhoef), a German (Edgar R. Lewandowski) and an American (Rex Thompson). Henny Verhoef Verhoef was born in Utrecht, the fourthlargest city in The Netherlands. His Holland home was on the pathway of the Allies bombing Henny Verhoef and fightersupport runs between England and Germany. His buddies
and he used to go outside and watch the dogfights between the Allied and German fighters from their roofs. When someone was shot down, they would go to see if they could help, or they would scavenge whatever they could to help their families survive. As a child, Verhoef helped the Underground deliver messages and whatever else he could on his bicycle. Though Holland was not ravaged by the Nazis, their atrocities were often in plain sight as they sought to find and exterminate Jews. He immigrated to the United States in 1956, and in ’59, he returned to The Netherlands to marry his sweetheart Stijnie. Verhoef, who graduated from Syracuse in computer engineering, likes to present Dutch culture in food and song, and last December he led the singing of Dutch
Christmas carols at the Cache County Senor Citizen Center. Edgar R. Lewandowski Lewandowski was born in Germany and was just a child when World War II broke out. Living in the Ruhr Valley — the Edgar R. main indusLewandowski trial region of Germany — there were constant air raids and bombing. His family’s home was heavily damaged by bombs, forcing them to live in their cellar. Food was scarce, but the government provided soup kitchens for the citizens. The really difficult time came right after the war when there was no established government, and the black market
was rampant. Lewandowski had to help out by walking miles and miles every day to beg for food for his family. Having survived difficult times, including the bombing of his homeland and constant fear in his area, Lewandowski decided to leave Germany for a more peaceful life. He immigrated to the United States in 1959 and settled in Logan. He had his sweetheart, Christel, follow him and married her in 1960. The Lewandowskis have raised two daughters and a son and have been married for 54 years. After graduating from USU, Lewandowski continued his studies at the University of Washington and spent the next six years teaching at the University of California before returning back to Logan, where he has resided ever since. Rex Thompson Thompson and his wife,
Edna, grew up in Clarkston. Childhood sweethearts, soon after they got married, Thompson enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He left his new wife and served for two and a half years in the Pacific Campaign, including the battle of Iwo Jima. Because he had experience grooming horses, Thompson became the Rex Thompson company barber. He assumed that would be his profession when he returned, but instead he became a postman who had basically the same route for 30 years. Thompson is affectionately known to his friends as “Pops,” and he and Edna recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

Though she is a master, she continues to attend more workshops and experiment with new ideas. “I’ve worked in a variety of mediums but have concentrated on transparent watercolor for the past several years,” Grussendorf says. “One of the reasons I love watercolor is because it keeps me on my toes; it’s not about control but having a relationship with the paint/water/paper/ brush. When I can be flexible in my thinking, trust the medium and the process, I’m often pleasantly surprised and thankful for the end result.

Books Andy Weir delivers with ‘The Martian’ By Jeff Ayers Associated Press
In the near future, mankind has successfully landed manned missions on Mars without mishap. The Ares 3 team, the third to explore the surface, has equipment, shelter and supplies for a two-month stay on the Red Planet.

shrapnel, and the other crew members, assuming the worst, take off, leaving Watney behind. After the wind dies down and the dust settles, he regains consciousness and discovers that he’s been abandoned — and the only person remaining on the planet. After repairing both his suit and the shelter, Watney realizes he must figure out how to survive so that he can be rescued by the crew of the next mission, which is scheduled to arrive in a few years. Weir has created an authentic portrayal of the future of space travel, and Watney is the perfect character to follow as he struggles in an unknown and hostile environment.

Experience ‘A Night of Soul’ USU’s Black Student Union hosts annual event on Feb. 21 The Utah State University Black Student Union, with the support of USU’s Access and Diversity Center, presents its annual event, “A Night of Soul,” at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, in the Taggart Student Center Stevenson Ballroom. Organizers say “A Night of Soul” will be an evening to remember. “I am excited that we have an outlet to express our culture through food, music and dance,” says BSU vice president Jeunee Roberts.

Disc golf fundraiser coming to fairgrounds A winter disc golf charity fundraiser will be held in honor of Evie Wentz, a North Carolina child who will have a kidney transplant in midFebruary. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Feb. 22, at the Cache County Fairgrounds. Nine-year-old Evie is having a kidney transplant at UNC Children’s Hospital in Chapel Hill, N.C., and funds are being raised to assist with transplant-related expenses. Evie was diagnosed with hemolyticuremic syndrome resulting in kidney failure. The

And, of course, it’s a great opportunity to involve some other groups at the school to help us pull off this event altogether.”
Also a part of this memorable evening will be horse-drawn carriage rides, historically attired volunteers and a special souvenir valentine and photo for couples. Seating for dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with the one-hour performance in the opera house to follow at 7 p.m. Tickets are $59 per couple for dinner and the show, and $29 per couple for the show only. Individual tickets for dinner or the show are available at half the couple price. Seating is limited and dinner reservations are required by Feb. 12. For tickets and more information, call the American West Heritage Center at 245-6050.
Wentz family needs an estimated $45,000 to pay transplant-related expenses. Evie’s father, Tyler Wentz, helped bring the first disc golf course to Logan while a student at USU. He now works with the military on the East Coast, but Cache Valley will always be home. The cost of this event will be $25 per person. You can register online at www.cachevalley discgolf.com.

Tale Continued from Page 3 Soames, for whatever reason, is meant to stop these miracles from happening. The supernatural rules at play here are vague at best. Even “The Adjustment Bureau” had more concrete rules for their supernatural overseers, and that’s saying a lot. “Winter’s Tale” gets bogged down and ultimately lost in a frozen sea of Lifetime-Movie-ofthe-Week sentimentality. Its romance is so syrupy, so unbelievable, that it’s hard to root for the starcrossed lovers. One might even find themselves cheering for Soames and his not-so-merry band of bowler-hat-wearing demons, though Crowe’s wavering accent may just provide more unintentional laughter than the movie might want. Simply, the story is never subtle enough to be meaningful, and never extreme enough to be interesting. It wallows around in a gray area of mushy, loveless romance. Characters skulk around with dour looks, pontificating about how everything is connected and how we become stars after we die. Nothing really grabs the viewer though. It’s a shiny palace built with balsa wood and Elmer’s Glue. A cheap, sappy story drawn from a superior novel. The problem with adapting a novel like this is that you need to approach it like the Wachowskis approached “Cloud Atlas.” You can’t hold back. It’s all or nothing. The biggest gripe I have with “Winter’s Tale” is that it jettisons its most interesting bits and fills up the remaining gaps with pure sap. An oozing romantic tale that just keeps going … and going … and going. However, unlike sap, nothing ever really sticks.

I taught myself and that’s the best way to learn, just go with it.” He says the community support might be going downhill from the stories he’s heard, but that the talent here is very gifted. “There are a lot of artists, they’re just not getting exposure,” Viator says. “It’s a smaller town, but it’s getting bigger.” “I don’t think there’s enough diversity in the

venues,“ Boehm says. “It would be nice if (Why Sound) was bigger in there so you could have more stage room and more people could come,” Craig adds. Though they wish Why Sound could have a bigger space, they couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to perform on its stage. Perry, who attends Why Sound shows and has performed as a soloist before, was approached by a Why Sound employee to perform again back in October. Their first performance as a band was great, she says, and had one similarity with her past solo performances. “I’m saying this, not to be about me, but the music — people really liked it. They were really feeling my energy and said, you know, ‘you’re really beautiful,’ ‘you have a great energy,’” Perry says. “I think people are really going to feel our stuff, even if it’s one or two people, that’s cool.”
By Brent Hislop My bestest friend is a bird of prey. He’ll bite my ear, then fly away. Have no idea where he goes, He’ll ride the wind; follows his nose. He’ll always return for another bite, He’s my pal, so it’s all right. Then off again to points unknown, Leaving me injured and alone.
He really loves the taste of me; But just the ear on the right, you see. Doesn’t stay too long to talk; I think that’s common for a hawk. I love to watch him fly about; He loves it too, I do not doubt. I’m sure he sings a song of cheer, But I can’t hear it – I HAVE NO EAR!
Piano festival sets schedule
Annual Wasserman event will begin on March 6 at USU The Wassermann Festival and Concert Series at Utah State University is among the important activities provided by the USU Piano Program and the Department of Music. Held every other year, the festival not only offers top-notch training for young pianists through workshops and master classes, it also brings the elite of the piano world to Cache Valley for performances. And this year’s roster of artists will not disappoint, according to Wassermann Festival Director R. Dennis Hirst. This year’s festival is also the first to take place after the death of the festival’s namesake, Irving Wassermann. This year’s festival honors his memory. “The many whose lives have been immeasurably enriched through professor Wassermann’s influence mourn his passing,” Hirst says. “His energy, enthusiasm and love for music and his students is irreplaceable.” The lineup of artists teaching and performing at this year’s festival include Daniil Trifonov, Sergei Babayan, Vadym Kholodenko, Sean Chen and Stephen Hough. The festival’s workshops and recitals are spread over a two-month period this year, beginning March 5 and concluding April 3. The festival opens with a duo recital with Daniil Trifonov and Sergei Babayan on Thursday, March 6. “This year we have the unusual situation of bringing in two pianists who have already staked a claim to the title ‘great’ in this century,” Hirst says, referring to Daniil Trifonov, Grand Prix winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition, and Vadym Kholodekno, Gold Medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. “This is the fourth time we’ve tried to get Daniil Trifonov here and he is
joined by Sergei Babayan. Both are remarkable musicians and I’m looking forward to the duo recital.” Featuring a piano duo at the Wassermann is a first under Hirst’s tenure. It adds a unique element to this year’s recitals, he says. Both pianists are on stage at the same time and the program includes works for two pianos as well as transcriptions of solo or orchestral works. The second round of workshop sessions and recitals brings two prize-winning pianists from the latest Van Cliburn Competition (May 2013), Vadym Kholodenko and Sean Chen. Chen will be heard in a solo recital first on March 20, followed by Kholodenko’s solo recital on March 21. The series concludes with festival favorite Stephen Hough, who will be making his third appearance. He will conduct a master class on April 2 and his solo recital is on April 3. All recital performances are held in the Performance Hall on USU’s Logan campus and all begin at 7:30 p.m. Information for the 2014 festival can be found online at www.usu.edu/wassermann. Students interested in attending the Wassermann master classes can register online. Those interested in observing the master class sessions can obtain tickets at the door prior to each session. Members of the public are welcome, but a ticket is required. Recital tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office located in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139-B. Reserved seating concert tickets are $24 for adults, $20 for USU faculty and staff and $12 for students ages 8 and older. Call the box office (797-8022) with questions, or purchase tickets online at arts.usu.edu.
