FROM THE EDITOR

H

ave you ever had someone ask you, “If you were a crayon, what color would you be?” A couple months ago this happened to me. I said I would be yellow and was quickly told that wasn’t good enough.

“Why would you be yellow? It has to match something you love, or something that describes you,” was pretty much the response I got.

I suppose I needed to be more creative, like the crayons named “magic mint,” “blizzard blue,” or “razzle dazzle rose.” In this group one person said

he’d be “T-shirt gray,” another said she’d be “sunset pink.”

So, I said I would be “sunflower yellow.” This fits me for a couple of reasons.

My favorite color is yellow, obviously, and I adore sunflowers. I was also born in September, when the sunflowers seem to pop out of the ground just in time for me, like a birthday present from nature every year.

As I was putting together this week’s Cache Magazine, the whole crayon conversation came to my mind somewhat randomly. After I read the feature story about “Journey to the Stars,” a concert combining musicians and science to showcase USU’s space research, I thought for a moment about how much I love

stars.

According to the band Coldplay, stars are also yellow, though in the sky they always look white. But, if I used a crayon to draw them, stars would definitely be yellow. So, now I can’t decide on what crayon color I should be. “Sunflower yellow?” “Yellow star?” “Yellow sunflower star?” Well, since I can’t decide, here are some Coldplay song lyrics for you: “Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow.”

If you come up with your crayon color, I’d love to hear what it is. Email me at mnewbold@hjnews.com.

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

‘Zombie Apocalypse’ topic for Science Unwrapped From movies to pop music, it seems the undead are already taking over the world. The usually staid Centers for Disease Control launched its tongue-incheek Zombie Apocalypse emergency preparedness campaign last year and even Utah State University’s Housing Services, with its wildly popular, campuswide “Zombies versus Humans” game, has jumped on the band wagon.

“A zombie apocalypse provides the perfect metaphor to illustrate concepts of mathematical epidemiology,” says USU mathematics professor Jim Powell. “And

it’s a lot of ghoulish fun.”

Powell will be the featured speaker for USU’s Science Unwrapped program Friday, Feb. 24, on campus.

He presents “Mathematics and the Life-Impaired: How the Theory of Disease Predicts the Zombie Apocalypse” at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Center.

Hosted by USU’s College of Science, the free event is open to inquiring minds, living and undead, of all ages.

Costumes are encouraged.

Using storylines from such movies as “Night of the Living Dead,” “28 Days

Later,” “The Walking Dead,” “Throughout history and and “I Am Legend,” as well today, humans have been as data from USU’s zombie fascinated by impending games, Powell shows how disasters and the threat mathematicians model an of apocalyptic scenarios,” epidemic. says Shane Larson, Sci“We’ll talk about how ence Unwrapped committee scientists develop models chair and assistant professor to predict the course and in USU’s Physics Departimpact of epidemics, the use ment. “For our spring series, of vaccines to eradicate dis- we’ve assembled an excitease and how ‘herd immuing slate of speakers to help nity’ works,” he says. us explore this topic from Hands-on learning actividiverse disciplines and ties and refreshments folpoints of view.” low Powell’s talk, which is For more information, call a continuation of Science 435-797-3517, visit www.

Rhythms Public treated to two solo recitals at USU

Marc-Andre Hamelin and Kevin Kenner to perform at Wassermann Festival

Two of the world’s top pianists will perform in solo concerts during the 2012 Wassermann Festival at Utah State University.

“Marc-Andre Hamelin and Kevin Kenner are among the finest pianists in the world,” said Wassermann Festival Director Dennis Hirst. “It’s quite a treat to have them both perform in Logan at one of the finest performance halls in the world all in the space of one week.”

Hamelin performs Friday, Feb. 24, and Kenner performs Thursday, March 1. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. at the USU Performance Hall.

Tickets for festival concerts start at $18 for adults and $8 for students age 8 and older. Tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139-B, by calling the box office, 435-797-8022 or online through the Caine College of the Arts website (arts.usu.edu).

Tickets will also be available at the door at each performance.

“The two concert programs are quite different,” Hirst said.

“Marc-Andre Hamelin’s program contains two of the most demanding pieces in the piano repertoire, Ravel’s ‘Gaspard de

la nuit’ and the Liszt ‘Sonata.’

Kevin Kenner’s focuses on celebrating the works of two master composers — Chopin and Dubussy.”

The first half of Hamelin’s program includes Haydn’s

Kenner’s March 1 concert opens with works by Claude Debussy, including “Reverie,” “Preludes” (selections) and “Estampes.” The Chopin “Preludes” are in the spotlight for the second half of the program.

Kenner is a Chopin expert, an honor and reputation he began to develop at age 17 when he first participated in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. There he was awarded the 10th place prize and a special prize from the jury for his promising talent. Ten years later, in 1990, he returned to Warsaw and the competition to win the top prize, the People’s Prize and the Polonaise Prize.

A guest director, direct from London, leads the efforts for the next stage production at Utah State University, Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic comedic operetta “The Pirates of Penzance.” “‘Pirates’ is a witty story with superb music and I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to spend an evening,” said Colin Baldy, guest director of “The Pirates of Penzance.”

Presented by the Department of Theatre Arts, the production runs March 1-3 and 7-10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Morgan Theatre located in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Logan campus.

Baldy flew in from London and arrived at USU on Feb. 7 to begin work on the production. He currently runs an opera touring company in England — Hand Made Opera — and is experienced in performing Photo courtesy USU Public Relations works of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Reviews by The Associated Press

Considering the eccentric, almost psychedelic fantasy worlds created in Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki’s tales, a story of tiny people living beneath the floorboards of a house seems almost normal. This latest from Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli also is a pleasant antidote to the siege mentality of so many Hollywood cartoons, whose makers aim to occupy every instant of the audience’s attention with an assault of noise and images. Slow, stately, gentle and meditative, the film is a marvel of image and color, its old-fashioned pen-and-ink frames vividly bringing to life the world of children’s author Mary Norton’s “The Borrowers.”

Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, with sound designer Gary Rydstrom directing a Hollywood voice cast for the Englishlanguage version, the film follows the adventures of tiny teen

‘Wanderlust’

Michael Martin Murphey

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

Once George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) reach the secluded hippie commune (er ... excuse me, “intentional community”) in the woods of Georgia, you pretty much know how the movie is going to play out. Plotting isn’t a strong point in the new gross-out R-rated comedy “Wanderlust.” It telegraphs every move.

There are no surprises when it comes to who is going to do what and when, but that’s not the point. The point is trying to make a predictable romantic comedy enjoyable with good jokes and funny scenes, which “Wanderlust” exceeds in doing.

This is where Paul Rudd shines. His everyday-guy charm comes through as he lays the sarcastic remarks on thick. Yes, some jokes are beaten to death.

Other jokes continue long past the point of general acceptance — where you may find yourself cowering a little in your seat wondering when they’re going to finally stop. That’s the point though. Even

though I felt slightly uncomfortable during a scene in which George psyches himself up for the commune’s acceptance of free love, tears were starting to form in my eyes because I was laughing so hard. “Wanderlust” masters the art of uncomfortable laughter.

The ending feels a little forced though. Everything comes together a little too nicely, but that’s OK because I found the journey hilarious. Paul Rudd has this instant likability factor that makes it impossible to hate him in a movie.

If you liked him in “I Love You, Man” you’ll adore him in this. What the movie lacks in original plotting, — the standard three act rom-com formula: set-up, fight, and make-up — it makes up for in hysterical jokes and a very likable cast.

Unique concert highlights USU’s accomplishments in space

Journey to the stars

W

hat do you get when the College of Engineering and the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University and the Space Dynamics Laboratory come together on a project?

That’s easy: A journey to the stars.

Well, not physically, but those who attend this Saturday evening’s performance at the Kent Concert Hall are promised an experience of a lifetime.

The show has been in the works for 18 months and will bring Engineering Week at USU to an end with a big bang.

“This is not a lecture on engineering,” said Douglas Lemon, the president of the USU Research Foundation, home of Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL). “This is really cool music.”

The program is titled “Journey to the Stars.” It is a musical tribute and honors USU’s pioneering accomplishments in space. The American Festival Chorus and Orchestra is headlining under music director Craig Jessop, who is the dean of the Caine College of the Arts.

“This is really something people are not going to hear in a long time,” Lemon said. “There are some unique things about the night, special pieces commissioned, special tribute to USU.” Lemon wrote the title piece for the program, which was edited by Heidi Swinton. The music was composed by Sam Cardon and Senator Jake Garn will be the narrator.

This project is personal for Lemon, as his wife is a member of the American Festival Chorus and he serves on the board, and he grew up with Jessop.

They worked on projects at Sky View High School together, and Lemon was thrilled to join forces with him again for this.

But it was Scott Hinton, the dean of the College of Engineering, who initially came up with an idea of combing forces of engineering, science and the arts.

“Shortly after Craig (Jessop) was

made the dean of the College of the Arts I saw how he was energizing the whole valley with his American Festival Chorus and saw all of the good things that were happening,” Hinton said. “It occurred to me, we have Engineering Week every February. It’s a national week set aside for engineers. ... It occurred to me, this would be a great opportunity for us to do something with the College of the Arts and the American Festival Chorus. How about doing a concert where we focus on some aspect of engineering and that way we can get the whole community together.

“One of the strengths of USU has been our space research. We got Doug (Lemon) in the loop. We decided to do this space theme and do it during Engineering Week and have it be the crowning, closing ceremony, so to speak, for Engineering Week on Saturday night.”

Lemon was more than happy to be involved.

“Scott (Hinton) and I both enjoy the arts and music,” Lemon said. “We celebrate music, nobody ever celebrates engineering. Where do we get a moment in the sun kind of thing. This is the seed of a thought.”

So, the process began with planning and getting on Jessop’s calendar.

Hinton felt the celebration should be broader than the College of Engineering, since many departments at USU have contributed to the space program.

“We often live in our silos and never talk to each other,” Jessop said.

“That’s what I love about this. I don’t know if the College of Science and the College of Arts have ever collaborated on an event. I think it is fantastic. “... It’s an honor to collaborate with our colleagues from the College of Engineering, from the USU research center and the Space Dynamics Laboratory — the fact that we were able as scientists, engineers and artists to celebrate our common lot as humans on this planet. It requires both the sciences and engineering and the arts to fully realize this great experience of

being human and alive at this time on the earth.”

Both Lemon and Hinton remember growing up and the fascination of the space race between the United States and what was then the Soviet Union.

Many universities in the U.S. started programs, including USU, to try and help answer a national threat. Lemon called it “patriotic.”

That was more than 50 years ago.

In preparation for this show, many old photographs will be incorporated into the program, explaining the history of the space program at USU. Lemon said the art forms of visual, musical and narration make up the 60-minute performance.

“It’s like a documentary,” Lemon said. “We have documentaries on whales, the Arctic, the jungles of Africa, whoever did the documentary on engineering? I think for the audience, the cool thing is a real quality documentary on USU and our accomplishments.”

The show begins with Jessop at the podium and beeping sounds that turn into the “Star Wars: Main Title” theme. Following that piece, the audience will be taken back a bit in time with “Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines.”

“Man has always been driven to discover,” Lemon said.

Next on the program is “Thus Spake Zarathustra - 2001 Space Odyssey” and “Empire Strikes Back: The Imperial March.” Lemon said rumor has it Darth Vader and stormtroopers may show up.

“There is some seriousness; there is a lot of humor and fun,” Jessop said.

“I think it’s going to be incredibly entertaining and at the same time very educational. ... It’s a pretty exciting event to be a part of. For the arts to be a part of this great celebration is an honor for us.”

Some inspirational pieces follow with “When You Wish Upon A Star” and “The Impossible Dream.”

A famous orchestra piece by Gustav Holst, “Jupiter from the Planets,” will be performed as the image of Jupiter

will be shown on the ceiling of the Kent Concert Hall. There will be other visuals during the entire program.

“High Flight” and “America the Beautiful” are next, setting up the title piece in “Journey to the Stars,” which runs 20 minutes. The show wraps up with “On Golden Wings,” which includes voice-overs from President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Neil Armstrong.

“People are going to leave there feeling really proud, proud of their country, proud of Utah State, proud of what they’ve done here,” Lemon said.

“It’s going to be a fun night.”

Plus, engineers really do understand music.

“Most engineers within the College of Engineering took music in high school,” Hinton said. “My guess is 80 percent were involved in band or choir. They have some musical training in their life.”

Lemon concurred: “A lot of engineers appreciate music, because beneath it, there is this language of math they are comfortable with. ... It’s more than just mathematics that unites arts and science and technology.

There’s a higher purpose about how we discover ourselves.”

All the hard work is about to be on display. Those involved are almost giddy to see the finished product.

“If you like arts and music, don’t stay home because you think it is engineering,” Lemon said. “It’s not.

It’s going to be fun. It starts with ‘Star Wars’ and Darth Vader is going to be there.”

“We each have our own journey, and this will be a night to remember,” Hinton said. “... It’s been a fun experience. Our hope is to have a real inspirational get-together to honor the engineers, the technicians and scientists from Cache Valley and to remind us where we were and where we are going.”

The program begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale at the CSA ticket office or online at www.americanfestivalchorus.org and cost $12, $16 and $18.

Unique concert highlights USU’s accomplishments in space

Journey to the stars

W

hat do you get when the College of Engineering and the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University and the Space Dynamics Laboratory come together on a project?

That’s easy: A journey to the stars.

Well, not physically, but those who attend this Saturday evening’s performance at the Kent Concert Hall are promised an experience of a lifetime.

The show has been in the works for 18 months and will bring Engineering Week at USU to an end with a big bang.

“This is not a lecture on engineering,” said Douglas Lemon, the president of the USU Research Foundation, home of Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL). “This is really cool music.”

The program is titled “Journey to the Stars.” It is a musical tribute and honors USU’s pioneering accomplishments in space. The American Festival Chorus and Orchestra is headlining under music director Craig Jessop, who is the dean of the Caine College of the Arts.

“This is really something people are not going to hear in a long time,” Lemon said. “There are some unique things about the night, special pieces commissioned, special tribute to USU.” Lemon wrote the title piece for the program, which was edited by Heidi Swinton. The music was composed by Sam Cardon and Senator Jake Garn will be the narrator.

This project is personal for Lemon, as his wife is a member of the American Festival Chorus and he serves on the board, and he grew up with Jessop.

They worked on projects at Sky View High School together, and Lemon was thrilled to join forces with him again for this.

But it was Scott Hinton, the dean of the College of Engineering, who initially came up with an idea of combing forces of engineering, science and the arts.

“Shortly after Craig (Jessop) was

made the dean of the College of the Arts I saw how he was energizing the whole valley with his American Festival Chorus and saw all of the good things that were happening,” Hinton said. “It occurred to me, we have Engineering Week every February. It’s a national week set aside for engineers. ... It occurred to me, this would be a great opportunity for us to do something with the College of the Arts and the American Festival Chorus. How about doing a concert where we focus on some aspect of engineering and that way we can get the whole community together.

MUSIC

Relic aims to entertain with the classics

By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Scott Olsen, Steve Roberts and Irv Nelson grew up listening to The Beatles, The Eagles, Bob Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The nostalgia of the music takes them back in time as they practice on their guitars together at Roberts’ home in River Heights.

“I remember I was walking downtown in California, walking across the street. I would have been 13 and I heard ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand.’ It was the first time … and my friend and I went, ‘Wow,’” Roberts says, as Nelson laughs and agrees.

“We grew up in a fun time, really,” adds Nelson, of Smithfield. “Much different than the YouTube and iTunes time.

There was a new Top 40 every week and that’s what the radio station played. And there was really only one decent radio station in most towns and you just listened to these songs over and over and over and took your guitar out and played them.”

Olsen, Roberts and Nelson make up the acoustic band Relic, a cover band playing classic songs generations past and present have come to adore.

The band came together about two years ago after they’d been playing for at least half a dozen years in The Fender Benders, another classic rock cover band with a much bigger sound. The Fender Benders have been seen at events all over the valley since 2003, from their beginning Firehouse days to demolition derbies, Smithfield Health Days, Summerfest, the North Logan 24th of July concert, and The Howl and a Homecoming Dance at USU. That band is made up of five members (including Jim Eliason and Carl Hart) and requires a huge sound system. After a while Olsen,

Roberts and Nelson decided they could play acoustic shows on a much smaller scale without a lot of set-up. With Relic, they just pack up their guitars and perhaps a small PA system and they’re good to go.

Another reason they formed Relic was because the economy the last few years severely hurt The Fender Benders’ gigs. Big events didn’t have money to pay musicians and a lot of their annual shows dried up. With Relic, the trio can perform at Pier 49 Pizza (which is owned

by Nelson), at weddings and Willow Valley Golf course (which Roberts’ wife owns) and anywhere else they’re invited without a lot of hassle.

Each musician has a pretty extensive background in music and combined they have more than 100 years of performing experience. Olsen, of Garland, remembers the moment he decided he wanted a guitar. He was on a choir trip with students Jennifer Meyers/Herald Journal from Sky View High School Above: From left, Irv Nelson, and his friend brought his new Scott Olsen, and Steve Roberts 12-string guitar and three or four rehearse with the band Relic in of them sat in the back and sang River Heights last week.

Your Stuff “Birth of a Shooting Star (Revised)”

By Arianna Rees As you lay in wet, ten ‘o’ clock grass, look closely at Prussian blue sky, you can see the stars glitter with the reflection of angels patiently watching you.

Their breath whistles through thin air, meanders through leaves, smells of rain, mountains, and fresh, unearthed soil.

Listen close.

Hear the soft, fluttery intake of breath, then suspense, then stillness hovering.

Angels step lightly in the heavens, twist their feet just enough to avoid stepping on stars.

Sometimes, as they step and breathe, step and breathe, a foot slips, a star shatters, shoots across the sky in a billion pieces.

Books ‘The House I Loved’ is ode to a Paris lost

By Kim Curtis Associated Press

The French novelist Tatiana De Rosnay rocketed to worldwide prominence after the well-deserved success of her best-selling “Sarah’s Key.” Her 2007 book tells a captivating tale about the roundup of Jewish immigrants in France and the daring locals who hid them during World War II. The characters in “Sarah’s Key” are complex, heartfelt and memorable — from Sarah herself to the modernday American journalist who’s compelled to uncover her story.

“The House I Loved”

again takes place in De Rosnay’s homeland, this time in Paris during the 1860s when much of the city is destroyed to make way for its rebirth into modernity. Against this backdrop, Rose Bazelet tells the story of her life and her dedication to her home in the form of a love letter to her long-dead husband.

The novel provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known (at least by many Americans) time in Napoleon’s Paris when hundreds of houses, shops and restaurants were destroyed to redesign the city into its 20 spiral-arranged arrondissements. As a love letter to Paris, the novel succeeds.

alleys? It seemed to me that tonight Paris had turned into a florid, overripe harlot flaunting her froufrous.”

But the few characters feel flat and hastily drawn, and Rose’s dedication to her husband’s family home feels forced and artificial despite her repeated and vehement declaration of her desire to die within its walls. Her devotion seems even more ill-placed when readers discover the great secret that happened inside the structure.

“What had become of my medieval city, its quaint charm, its sinuous dark

Local Festival of Words coming up The Bridgerland chapter of the Utah Storytelling Guild and Bridgerland Literacy, two of northern Utah’s organizations devoted to bettering communication, are putting on a festival for all ages celebrating the power — and fun — of words. A Festival of Words takes place March 10 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Bullen Center, 43 S. Main St., Logan. The festival will include storytelling, singing, dancing, workshops, vendors, kids activities and cooking with words. As part of the festival, kids will enjoy wand duels and other Harry Potter activities in Hogwarts Hall. At 7 p.m., the “Milk & Cookies Storytelling” concert will be held featuring storytelling, of course, but also music, magic, dancing and other arts. The entire event is accessible and family-friendly.

As part of the festivities, “A Festival of Words” is hold-

ing a call for artists to submit artwork to the festival gallery.

Cash prizes will be given to winners in adult and youth categories. Art can be in any medium and should come to the gallery ready to hang.

Sculpture and three-dimensional work will be displayed on a table. If the work is for sale, the festival won’t take commission; artists are free to sell their work for whatever price they see fit. The theme for artwork should be “Words” or any quotation taken from Ben Franklin’s “Poor Richard’s Almanack.”

Artwork should be submitted by Saturday, March 3, at noon and should be brought to the Summerfest Arts Faire office, 69 E. 100 North in Logan. For more information, contact the Festival Director David Sidwell at dr.davidsidwell@gmail.com.

In addition to artwork, the festival is also holding a poet-

ry and essay contest, with cash prizes for winners in adult and youth categories. All poems and short essays should be inspired by a quotation from Benjamin Franklin’s “Poor Richard’s Almanack.” Maximum lines for poetry is 30.

Essays should be 750 words or less.

Poetry and essays should be sent to the contest coordinator, Kolbie Astle, at kolbie.festival@gmail.com by Saturday, Feb. 25.

The festival will also feature youth storytellers from schools and home schools in the area.

Teachers wishing to participate can find a resource guide on the festival website with lessons, activities and other information about how to connect storytelling with the Common Core curriculum.

For more information about A Festival of Words, and to see a schedule of events, visit festivalofwords.wordpress.com.

The writing, however, is lovely — despite the jarring backward-looking use of the past tense throughout — and the sentiment thought-provoking.

“This house is like my body, it is like my own skin, my blood, my bones. It carries me like I have carried our children. It has been damaged, it has suffered, it has been violated, it has survived, but today, it will collapse.”

For the true Francophile, it will be enough.
