FROM THE EDITOR I don’t mean to sound like I’m complaining, but I get a lot of emails each week.

After more than 20 years at The Herald Journal in a variety of positions, my name has found its way onto a lot of mailing lists, including those involving sports, education, state and national news and arts and entertainment.

I’m also in charge of calendar items at the newpaper and all of the emails that come to hjhappen@ hjnews.com. In addition, I receive the emails directed towards two previous editors of Cache Magazine. When you add in all the junk email that comes to all of those addresses ... well, that makes for a couple thousand emails to wade

through every week.

Needless to say, the majority of those emails don’t really serve a direct purpose to current issues of Cache Magazine. But every once in a while, I do like to pass along something out of the ordinary that may or may not be taking place in Cache Valley.

This week, with spring training beginning in Arizona and Florida, I’m certainly in a baseball mood, so I was very interested in an email from the Salt Lake Bees. Were I singer myself, I would not share this information. But since I would fall somewhere between Roseanne Barr and Carl Lewis when it comes to alltime worst renditions of the National Anthem, here it is: The Salt Lake Bees invite interested individuals and groups to submit an mp3 file or YouTube video audition to perform the national anthem at a 2014 home game. Submissions should be sent

to Chance Fessler at cfessler@slbees. com or mailed to: Salt Lake Bees National Anthem Auditions C/O Chance Fessler 77 West 1300 South Salt Lake City, UT 84115 The Bees require that the national anthem be performed in the traditional manner with no styling or individual musical interpretation.

The anthem should be performed in a straight forward manner with the utmost respect and honor for what the song stands for. If selected, the same version must be performed at the game as it was on the submission.

Those selected for further consideration will be invited to audition in person at a date to be determined.

The driving force behind the Cache Valley Cowboy Rendezvous, Dale Major wants to make — what else? — a major announcement leading up to next week’s event.

“It’s free,” Major declares. “That’s probably the biggest thing.”

During the first three years of the annual gathering of cowboy poets and Western musicians and artisans in Hyrum, you had to purchase a ticket just to get in the door at Mountain Crest High School. But this year, while you’ll still have to buy tickets to the showcase concerts and the family dance, there will be no charge for admission, allowing attendees to roam the halls and take in a large variety of events and wares free of charge.

“We received some RAPZ funds, so everything is now free except for the Suzy Bogguss and Dave Stamey concerts and the Cowboy Family Dance Saturday night, but that’s only $5 per couple, so it’s almost free,” Major says with a chuckle.

“Hopefully some of the folks who have kind of been on the fence about attending because of the entrance fee will now come out. I think if they do, they’ll find it very

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

The Jets and the Sharks ‘West Side Story’ headed for Eccles Theatre stage The tour of the smash-hit Broadway revival of “West Side Story” is coming to the Ellen Eccles Theatre in downtown Logan for one night only, beginning at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 5.

Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction is recreated for the tour by David Saint, the associate director on Broadway. The original Jerome Robbins choreography is reproduced by Tony Award-nominee Joey McKneely (“The Boy from Oz,” “The Life”).

Tickets are $30 to $44 and are available online at www.cachearts.org, by calling 752-0026 or by visiting the Ellen Eccles Theatre box office at 43 S. Main St. “West Side Story” tells the story of star-crossed lovers Tony and Maria as they struggle to rise above the hatred and intolerance that surrounds them. “West Side Story” soars as the greatest love story of all time and remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway’s finest and features such classics of the American musical theater as “Something’s Coming,” See JETS on Page 13

For 500,000 years until the early 1860s, 50 million bison roamed the plains of North America. By 1890, there were fewer than 300. An exhibit that explores the “before” and “after” of the bison’s dramatic decline is currently on display at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History and will continue through March 15. Admission is free.

The exhibit dramatizes the emergence of the bison as an “American icon” with kiosks, banners, photographs, sculpture and such objects as a bison skull, a contemporary painted bison hide and a shield designed and painted by Allan Houser, a renowned Apache artist. Also on view are artifacts made out of buffalo hides, including a berry-pounding bowl, a beaded child’s dress and moccasins, and a powder horn.

The Brigham City Museum of Art and History is located at 24 N. 300 West. The entrance is on the west side. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday. For further information, please phone (435) 226-1439 or visit www.brighamcitymuseum.org.

‘Lego Movie’ blocks ‘RoboCop’ ‘About Last Night’ finishes third at the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Lego Movie” built a huge lead on top of the weekend’s new releases at the box office.

In its second outing, the Warner Bros. animated film featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett earned $48.8 million to take first place, according to studio estimates Sunday. That brings the film based on the toy brick-building franchise’s domestic box office total to $129.1 million, cementing it was one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

“It’s crossing over to all audiences,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “It’s not just a kids’ movie.

There’s something for boys, girls and adults, as well. The likeability is astronomical. That across-the-board appeal is giving ‘The Lego Movie’ unstoppable momentum, even in a weekend loaded with new competitors.”

Sony’s romantic comedy “About Last Night” starring Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy came in second place with $27 million. The strong showing further demonstrated Hart’s clout as a box-office draw. The actor-comedian’s other film, the buddy-cop comedy “Ride Along” with Ice Cube, nabbed $8.8 million in its fifth weekend to take the sixth spot at the box office.

The action-packed “RoboCop” reboot from Sony and MGM featuring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton captured third place with $21.5 million.

The weekend’s other new releases, Universal’s coming-of-age drama “Endless Love” and the Warner Bros. novel adaptation “Winter’s Tale,” respectively earned the fifth and seventh spots at the box office. “Endless Love” wooed $13.4 million, while the Colin Farrell drama “Winter’s Tale” made a chilly $7.8 million.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

What a bizarre little movie. “3 Days to Kill” is so odd that I’m still unsure whether I liked it or not. Written by Luc Besson (“Leon: The Professional”) and directed

by McG (“This Means War”), this movie is unlike whatever you’re expecting it to be — a genre mish-masher to the extreme. Every single scene feels completely different in tone than the one that came before. An experimental festival film that somehow got a wide release. That’s what it feels like. A movie that you’d see at Sundance, walk out, and wonder what exactly you just witnessed.

Out of the myriad of stories taking place, the main one is about Ethan Renner (Kevin Costner). He’s a CIA agent who’s found himself estranged from his wife and daughter because of the time he’s spent away. In a movie world full of invincible action heroes, Renner is something of a fresh idea.

Sure, he knows how to handle himself in tough situations, but he’s anything but invulnerable. He’s middle-aged and acts like it. He’s just found out he’s got cancer. Maybe a few more months to live. So the time is now if he wants to have a relationship with his teenage daughter, Zoey (Hailee Steinfeld).

Like Besson’s “Leon: The Professional,” “3 Days to Kill” is peppered with a coming together of two unlikely people. Between actions scenes, Ethan tries to find common ground with his daugh-

‘3 Days to Kill’

carefully constructed stories, which fit nicely into the box we think they should fit into. Now here’s an action movie that not only breaks the mold but shatters it. It doesn’t splinter the genre by crafty, preposterous action scenes. Instead it uses odd shifts in tone, and a surprisingly effective father-daughter story to piece its Frankenstein parts together.

Honestly, I couldn’t help but enjoy what I was watching. Perhaps it’s because “3 Days to Kill” is so utterly peculiar that there’s no other choice but to love it. Like a floppyeared mutt wandering the streets hoping someone somewhere will take it in.

There will be plenty of reviews that ridicule “3 Days to Kill” as being too disordered. I’d argue that the action movie genre needs a little disorder every now and then just to shake things up.

UTAH STATE ARTIST CAITLIN WILLEY ‘I want people to people watch with me’ STORY BY KEVIN OPSAHL PHOTO BY ELI LUCERO

C

aitlin Willey is a selfdescribed people watcher — and now she wants you to people watch with her, too.

The Utah State University senior is in the midst of creating a new series of artwork based on her snapshots of crowds in public places.

“Kind of like a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ meets classical painting,” to use her words.

“I think, How often do I go through life, and I’m just the star of the show, the supporting characters: my roommate, my family? And then there are people that just walk around and don’t have lives,” Willey says. “It’s a closed door, but if you open that door, those people have emotions, they have relationships. That’s what I want to communicate — I want people to people watch with me. It’s an aspect of taking time outside yourself and having empathy for other people. I want people to say, ‘they might have

an interesting life.’”

The USU senior — gunning for an art degree with an emphasis in drawing, painting and art education — got the idea for the watercolor and oil series on an aerial tram ride in France, where she served as a nanny for a year.

“We were all on this little tight tram, we didn’t know each other. There were a few little conversations, people looking out windows, and you wonder what brought them here; why are they on a tram?” Willey recalls. “I took a picture just above my head. I want to do pictures of different dramas that go around.”

Willey was hard at work on the series in the Chase Fine Arts Center at USU last week, but she was also putting the final pieces in place for her debut at the bimonthly Cache Valley Center for the Arts Gallery Walk in downtown Logan.

“I’m glad I get to be a part of it

because I think it’s a really cool event,” Willey says. “I do like talking about art with the community because I’m an educator. I think gallery walks are important because they show under-the-radar artists. It’s a little more intimate; you get to appreciate the art, but you also get to appreciate that sense of community and be proud these artists are from town.”

Willey also wants to clear up a common misconception people have about artists.

“People just think of art as a magic trick — ‘Oh, you can juggle, that’s cool,’ or ‘Oh, you can draw, draw me something right now in your head,’” she says with a laugh. “Artists are observers; it’s a talent like anything else and a form of communication.

Like drafting a paper or article, you have to learn mechanics.”

USU Orchestra presents Concerto Evening Utah State University’s Department of Music in the Caine College of the Arts presents its annual USU Symphony Orchestra Concerto Evening at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 27, in the Kent Concert Hall at the Chase Fine Arts Center.

Guest conductor for the evening is Germán Augusto Gutiérrez, director of orchestras and associate professor of orchestral studies at Fort Worth’s Texas Christian University. Gutiérrez is also director of TCU’s Latin American Music Center and the biennial Latin American Music Festival. Since 2000 he has also served as music director of the Youth Orchestra of Greater Fort Worth.

Concerto Evening will also

feature six student soloists — top winners of the concerto competition held by the Music Department in December. The student performers include Dallin Bassett, piano; Lauren Belliston, piano; McKenzie Clawson, violin; Nathan Hauck, guitar; Jaron Putnam, baritone; and Corie Schofield, violin. Concerto concerts pair solo musicians with the orchestra.

“The Beethoven concerto isn’t the Beethoven concerto without the orchestra,” Schofield says. “When this particular piece is played with an orchestra, it is more than a concerto; it’s another one of Beethoven’s symphonies.”

Schofield, on violin, will perform the first movement

Germán Augusto Gutiérrez

of Beethoven’s “Concerto in D Major” with the symphony orchestra.

Clawson, another student violinist, presents a piece by

Mendelssohn.

“It’s amazing to be able to hear Mendelssohn’s genius in how he composed the music,” Clawson says when discussing the composer’s “Concerto in E Minor.” “There are parts of the piece where I’m playing a duet with the oboe, clarinets, first violins and even the timpani.”

Clawson is featured in the work’s first movement and says she loves the feeling of being able to soar across the grand sound of an entire symphony playing behind her.

Belliston, who is performing Saint-Saens’ “Concerto no. 2” (first movement), also loves the feeling of being supported by an orchestra while playing a beautiful piece, and

says she gets a huge adrenaline rush.

“As a pianist, I mostly perform solo works but concertos provide a great opportunity to play with other instrumentalists,” she says.

“This is my fourth time performing a concerto with an orchestra and it is just as exciting and fun as the first time.”

Tickets for USU’s Concerto Evening are $10 adults, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information or tickets, contact the CCA Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, 7978022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

Books Romance novel editor tells of finding love

By Carolyn Lessard Associated Press

Patience Bloom works for a publishing house that’s best known for its steamy romances with happy endings.

In “Romance Is My Day Job: a Memoir of Finding Love at Last,” the bashful book editor chronicles her personal experiences from awkward prep school days, reckless college years and unsuccessful online dating to finally finding her “happily ever after” in her 40s.

Bloom juxtaposes her experiences with typical romance plots to demonstrate the stark contrast between fiction and reality. Wearing her insecurities as a badge of honor (she’s afraid to fly, plagued by self-doubt and possesses an unruly red mane), she proves to be very human and most relatable.

Her recollections will no doubt spark a few mortifying flashbacks

from readers’ own younger days.

As with many heroines in romance fiction, Bloom has faced conflict, including an unexplained and heartbreaking estrangement with her father. She

appears to prevail with only a few occasional setbacks.

“Romance Is My Day Job” is peppered with a few cringe-worthy moments, a la Bridget Jones.

Desperate to find a soul mate, she gets involved with the campus bad boy. After they split, she begs him (rather vocally) to take her back. Later she dates jerks like Nate the Spanker and constantly misreads — or ignores outright — the signs from these would-be beaus.

She diffuses her tales of woe with witty observations and genuine self-reflection. After years of accumulating a stockpile of “lessons learned,” she offers sage advice to women who are wading into the dating pool.

Bloom is eventually rescued by a knight in shining armor named Sam. He’s a high school crush who seeks her out decades later, not on horseback, but on Facebook.

Artist Continued from Page 8 Hailing from Bountiful, Willey has predominately done watercolors, but has also branched out into oils and printmaking.

“My art style, if I had to sum it up in one word: Empathetic,” the USU artist says. “Since I was in ninth grade I always wanted to do art for people. I wanted to do art so I can give it to my mom to hang on the fridge. I wanted to do art of peoples families and relatives because it meant something to them. I know artists get sick of that; they want to paint their feelings. But I’ve always seen art as connecting with people, and it’s only meaningful if it is meaningful with you.”

Willey will complete her student teaching this fall, and she hopes to continue painting and teaching abroad.

And she has one particular point of advice for her students: “Art is like taking a bath every day — if you don’t do it, you stink!”

Band Continued from Page 4 Joining the Jazz Band during “Moondance” will be the Preston High School Ballroom Dancers and the Jazz Choir. Five Preston High student vocalists will also perform during the event, which will features a full dinner, courtesy of donations from local food vendors, and a dance floor for the guests.

“The night is a fundraiser to help us purchase marching band uniforms, as well as other equipment for the band program,” Manning points out. “It’s also a good chance for our students to play some real dance music from different genres, like swing and Latinstyle. And, of course, it’s a great opportunity to involve some other groups at the school to help us pull off this event altogether.”

“Best Poet”

“Life As We Know It”

By Judy Talbot Phil, the best poet in his day, The words of wisdom he did say.

Concerned with his fellow man, Guiding them the best he can.

He is old, can barely walk, He loved to visit and to talk.

Being lonesome for his mother, For his wife, and his brother.

Jets Continued from Page 4 “Tonight,” “America,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere.”

The Associated Press says “‘West Side Story’ remains Broadway’s best dance-driven musical.

Five decades have not dimmed the extraordinary choreography or the score that pulsates throughout.” Variety says, “The true stars of ‘West Side Story’ are Jerome Robbins’ graceful, endlessly expressive choreography and Leonard Bernstein’s score, which still sounds bracingly modern a halfcentury after it was first heard. The music is a primal force.”

“West Side Story” was written by three theatrical luminaries: two-time Tony Award-winner Arthur Laurents (book) and multiple Tony and Grammy Award-winners Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics), in his Broadway debut.

“West Side Story”

By Terri Barnes

Poems were written that were good, Thinking about what he could.

On each subject he did write, He was the best poet in sight.

He lived long and gave his life, To his mother, his brother and wife.

He was happy as he could be, The best poet I could see.

“West Side Story” had a long journey to Broadway. Six years elapsed between Jerome Robbins’s first idea of a modern musical adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet” and its actual Broadway debut. Originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, “West Side Story” opened at the Winter Garden Theatre on Sept. 26, 1957, and garnered passionate reactions from critics and audiences alike.

The revival of “West Side Story,” on which this tour is based began with previews at the Palace Theatre on Broadway in February 2009.

It opened to critical acclaim, breaking box office records on March 19, 2009, and recouped its $14 million investment after running only 30 weeks.

Our bodies go Through many changes First it shifts Then rearranges

Things we thought Were in place before Are just about To hit the floor

The muscles we once Thought we had

Have disappeared And that’s really sad But that is all Behind us now It really is!!

I heard it fall

My get up and go Has got up and went So just enjoy yourself That’s the way it was meant

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

Irving Wasserman

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. 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, 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.

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.
