From the editor URING ONE OF MY first drives D in Logan seven and a half years ago, I asked my brother if people here knew what was going on in the concert world. Forgive me for being naive, but I thought Logan was this small town for college students who lived too far away from Salt Lake City to really know who was playing in the big city. My brother laughed. Of course people here know about the entertainment taking place in the state’s capital. And over the last half dozen years I’ve learned Cache Valley has its own little music scene as well if you tap into it. There are local musicians, and venues like Why Sound and The Logan Arthouse feature them all the time. The university, Ellen Eccles Theatre and Utah Festival Opera Company also bring in talented

performers from all over the country. Cache Valley has a lot to offer, not only for music lovers, but for those who appreciate art and other entertainment. Just this week I’m learning about dance performances and musicians coming here on tour as well as local theater productions. For me, the valley has become a place with endless possibilities for fun and entertainment. Sure, it’s not a big city by any means, but there is a lot to do here and I look forward to being right in the middle of it. For the past two years I’ve worked as the assistant feature editor for The Herald Journal, and before that, I worked for a little more than a year and a half as a writer and ad designer for Cache Valley Magazine. As former Cache Magazine editor Kim Burgess heads off to new adventures and life changes, I’m stepping in and I’m excited for something new. I want to wish Kim the best of luck with everything. — Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Repertory Dance Theatre to perform at Ellen Eccles Center for the Arts presents T Repertory Dance Theatre at 7:30 HE CACHE VALLEY

p.m. on March 15 and 16, in the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Let yourself be moved by one of Utah’s top touring modern dance companies. Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) will perform “Elements,” a dance concert designed to remind audiences of the beauty and fragility of our planet. This concert will feature the works of Ze’eva Cohen, Ford Evans, Eric Handman, Mary Frances Lloyd and Zvi Gotheiner. “RDT has been recognized worldwide for their long-standing commitment to dance preservation and creation,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “This concert showcases RDT’s dedication to the sustainability of our world and the arts.” Since humankind’s earliest years, alchemists have seen our planet’s fundamental essences

as “earth, air, fire, and water.” Our existence depends on understanding and solving problems relating to these essences. This repertoire defines the four essential elements to motivate our desire for clean energy, clean air, clean water and a clean and healthy earth. Highlights from the program include Zvi Gotheiner’s “Glacier,” a contemporary water ritual that imagines a future civilization coping with shrinking resources. Other works include “Watermark” by Ford Evans and lastly Mary Frances Lloyd’s “The Lady of the Lake,” the magical and mysterious supernatural Celtic goddess of water who will leave you breathless. Since 1966, RDT has inspired tens of thousands of students and teachers each year and has acquired over 330 pieces of choreography. Based at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in Salt Lake City, RDT contributes to the cultural, social and eco-

nomic vitality of the community and state. For more information, visit www.rdtutah.org. Tickets for RDT’s shows at Ellen Eccles Theatre are $16 to $22 with a wide variety of discounts including 25 percent off for USU students, half off for kids ages 5 to 18 and 15 percent off for groups of 15 or more.

scope that you aren’t sure how to use? Have an old telescope in your closet that hasn’t been out in years? Bring them to the monthly meeting of the Cache Valley Stargazers! This month the group is having their annual telescope clinic to help people get ready for the return of good weather and clear night skies. They’ll help you get your scope in working order, and talk about some of the things you’ll be able to see in the spring night skies.

Irish dance company ready for Celtic celebration I

n celebration of the season of St. Patrick, Bridger Folk Music Society is proud to present the seventh Annual Celtic Night coming March 18 and 19 to the Ellen Eccles Theatre. The Celtic Night program will feature local talent by Inishfre Irish Band (aka CuHulainn) and Dance Company along with local guest artists, Kent Braddy and emcee Ted Erekson. Audience members will experience a variety of dances and dance styles of Ireland intertwined with instrumental music, singing, story telling and sing-alongs. Local personality and story teller, Ted

Erekson, will join in to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend and emcee a spirited evening of good fun and merriment, Celtic style. The company has been dancing and performing around the Utah/Idaho area since 2003. Started and directed by Julie Zufelt, the company consists of nine experienced dancers with a wide range of dancing experience. Zufelt, with a background in ballet and piano studies, arranges and choreographs the dances, staying true to the traditional dances and styles of Ireland. After visiting Scotland and Ireland and having

been inspired by Riverdance, Zufelt became passionately immersed in Irish step dancing. She has chosen a program of both hard-shoe and softshoe dances that will be set to traditional Celtic music with a little New Age feel thrown in for good measure. Ticket prices range from $12 to $19 and may be purchased in advance at the Eccles Theatre, 43 S. Main St., in Logan or at the door prior to the performance. Tickets are also available online at www.bridgerfolk.org or www. EllenEcclesTheater.org. Students with a valid student ID will be given a 25 percent

discount on any ticket price. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s performance will

go to benefit Cache Valley’s Four Paws Pet Rescue and Cache Humane Society.

ERITAGE THEATRE H presents “The Secret Garden” at 7:30 p.m. March 4 to 26

String quartet to perform at USU

n Thursday, March 31, the Chamber Music Society of Logan will present the Cypress String Quartet at Utah State University’s Performance Hall. Known for its elegant performances, the Cypress’s sound has been called “beautifully proportioned and powerful” by The Washington Post, and the ensemble has been singled out by Chamber Music Magazine as “a Generation X ensemble to watch.” In August 2009, the Cypress released a recording of Beethoven’s Late Quartets Op.

131 and 135 and received good reviews from The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The recording was also featured in the Denver Post’s “Classical music: The year’s best discs of 2009.” The recording is the first of a three-volume set. Volume two was released in August 2010. The third disc will be released during the quartet’s fifteenth anniversary season, in 2011-12. The Cypress String Quartet formed in 1996 in San Francisco and during its first rehearsals together created signature sound through intense read-

ings of J.S. Bach’s Chorales. Built up from the bottom register of the quartet and layered like a pyramid, the resulting sound is clear and transparent, allowing the texture of the music to be discerned immediately. The quartet performs more than 90 concerts each year at venues across the U.S. and internationally. The concert in Logan starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $24 or $10 for students. They can be purchased by calling 435-7978022 or at www.arts.usu.edu.

on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. on March 12 and 19. The play will be performed at Heritage Theatre, 2505 So. Hwy 89, Perry. Tickets for adults are $9; seniors and children $8. Call 723-8392 for reservations from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday or Wednesday through Saturday. A young girl, Mary Lennox, is the sole survivor of a Cholera epidemic in India in 1904. Her parents and the other British officers dead, Mary is sent to the home of her uncle, Archibald Craven. He is her only surviving relative, his wife, Lily, having died in childbirth 10 years earlier. Archibald is a hunchback, grown bitter after the tragic death of his wife. He has closed off her beloved garden and his heart, not even seeing his own son. When Mary comes to his home,

the ghosts of her father and Lily seem to haunt her and her uncle. She turns to her maid, the gardener and a strange young man in the woods for companionship and guidance. These friends, along with the spirits of those who have passed before, lead her and her newfound cousin Colin to the Secret Garden and to, perhaps, one of the greatest secrets of life.

Still playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Adjustment Bureauâ&#x20AC;? Rated PG-13 â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;1â &#x201E;2 Matt Damon and Emily Blunt fall in love and flee shadowy figures in this immensely stylish romantic thriller. If only the ending lived up to the buildup. Damon and Blunt have crazy, sexy chemistry from the very first moment they meet. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a real treat to watch together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reserved and sort of smart-alecky congressman, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick-witted and flirty dancer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the contrast in their appearances and personalities just works. You want them to end up with each other, despite the many elaborate and creative obstacles that thrust themselves in the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path. With all that heat and hype, you long for a climax worthy of the dedication that their characters (and the actors) have given. Instead, writerdirector George Nolfiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film, based on a Philip K. Dick story, takes all that dazzle and wraps things up with a fizzle. Following intelligent debates about the nature of free will, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Adjustment Bureauâ&#x20AC;? ends in an overly simplistic, heavy-handed religious allegory that leaves you wondering, really? Is that it? 99 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beastlyâ&#x20AC;? Rated PG-13 â&#x2DC;&#x2026;1â &#x201E;2 Just as superficial and obsessed with looks as the characters and the mindset it rails against, which would seem like a bitter, frustrating irony if it merited the emotional reaction to care that much. Alex Pettyfer stars as the chiseled, blond Kyle. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrogant, moneyed and cruel, which makes him the perfect guy to rule his posh Manhattan prep school. Why not? Nothing else in writer-director Daniel Barnzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film, based on novelist Alex Flinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young-adult take on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beauty and the Beast,â&#x20AC;? even remotely resembles

any kind of nuanced reality, so we may as well play up all possible stereotypes. One day, Kyle crosses classmate Kendra (MaryKate Olsen), who may or may not be a witch. She places a curse on him that renders him â&#x20AC;&#x153;ugly.â&#x20AC;? Suddenly, his head is shaved and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covered with facial tattoos and scars that make Mike Tyson look understated. The thing is, Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markings are so artful and stylized, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually cool-looking, and not at all hideous. He is not an animal. Still, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuck this way unless he can find someone within one yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time who will love him for him. That person ends up being fellow student Lindy (â&#x20AC;&#x153;High School Musicalâ&#x20AC;? star Vanessa Hudgens), the class outcast. Neil Patrick

Harris, as Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blind tutor, gives a snappy performance thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only thing worth watching here. 86 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rangoâ&#x20AC;? Rated PG â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pirates of the Caribbeanâ&#x20AC;? director Gore Verbinski has crafted a relentlessly inventive animated amalgamation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chinatown,â&#x20AC;? Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns and the drug-conjured lizards of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.â&#x20AC;? Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a PG-rated kids movie, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an extremely cinematic animated film and a witty slapstick comedy. Johnny Depp voices the title character, a theatrically inclined chameleon whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounced from his pet lizard tank and cast into the Mojave Desert.

Arriving in the critter-populated town of Dirt, he dons the role of gunslinger and does it well enough that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made sheriff. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a method actor, it turns out. With the great cinematographer Roger Deakins serving as visual consultant and visual effects headed by Mark McCreery, the refraction of light in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rangoâ&#x20AC;? is so authentic that one swears the saloon full of gun-toting varmints is live action. Hans Zimmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score, a fun ode to Ennio Morricone, adds to the playful tone. With Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and Ned Beatty (as Noah Cross remade as a tortoise) among the fine voice cast. 107 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All reviews by The Associated Press Disney characters and artwork ÂŠ Disney, Disney/Pixar characters ÂŠ Disney/Pixar.

Makes me wonder how these alien races are reproducing so fast.

man and alien. In that way it succeeds for the most part.

These bipedal aliens in what appear to be metal war suits are versions of something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen dozens of times before.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply another alien invasion film without much to it. Still, in the right frame of mind it could make for a fun time at the theater.

artha Sears West says her grandchildren love her books and her neighbors say wonderful things about her artwork, but she can’t rely on what they think. “You just can’t trust friends and family,” the newly published Logan resident says. That’s why waiting to receive her first objective review on “Rhymes and Doodles from a Wind-up Toy” was so agonizing. It came just days ago from ForeWord Clarion, thrilling West by giving her five out of five stars on her book of poetry. “Rhymes and Doodles” has come on the heels of “Jake, Dad and the Worm,” a whimsical narrative about a child who discovers even though he is young, he can still learn and explore before he grows up. For West, who lives with her husband, Steve, in a classical home tucked away in a quaint Island neighborhood, these books represent a lifetime of thoughts and memories. “Jake, Dad and the Worm” was actually born more than 30 years ago, when the Wests were raising their three children in Maryland. Martha remembers hearing her family applaud a little worm who was slowly making his way through their backyard. “I was amazed and pleased to see that they enjoyed something so simple,” she said. So, a few years ago when she threw around the idea of writing and illustrating her own book, Steve suggested making the famous worm the focus of the book. Martha ran with the idea,

after being encouraged by her well-written daughter and professional artist. “I thought, ‘If he thinks I can do it, I can do it,’” she remembers of her thoughts following a conversation with son Allan West, who lives in Tokyo and paints large-scale pieces. West remembers her love affair with writing and artwork beginning early. As a 12-year-old she and a close friend spent their free time writing poetry. Also as a child, she received oil paints from her uncle, Jack Sears, a known writer and artist at the time. Throughout the following years, she cultivated both talents, going so far in high school as to receive a scholarship to attend the Chouinard Art School in Los Angeles every Saturday for months. After high school, West attended the University of Utah, where she mulled an art major but ultimately settled on French teaching after deciding to go after something she didn’t know much about. “It’s better for your character,” she says. After she and her husband married, they lived in Salt Lake before moving to the Washington, D.C., area where they raised their three children. When Steve retired 17 years ago, they planned to move to Seattle — to stay “on the water” — but stopped in Logan so Martha could see where Steve had spent his summers as a childhood. That’s when she saw their current home, which reminded her of her childhood house in

Bethesda, Md. With the Logan River running through its backyard, it fit the “on the water” requirement, she said, laughing. Throughout all of those years, West has kept a pen in hand and paintbrush nearby. Her own artwork — in addition to her son’s — grace the walls of her home. “For many, many years I’ve written a poem a day,” she said, adding that they usually are drafted for specific people in mind. Over the past couple of years, she started working on poems that applied to a broader audience. Those are what make up her 95-page “Rhymes and Doodles” book. But she admits they’re all written with a specific purpose in mind. One is dedicated to her daughter’s mother-in-law, a kind and gentle woman. Another describes a “minimally invasive” surgery and its aftermath. And a treasured poem is dedicated to her mother, who after a stroke at 87 couldn’t remember who Martha was, choosing to call her a “happenmaker” because she made things happen. West, who went back to school in her 50s to get a degree in linguistics, said she has other books coming. Her ideas for writing come to her sometimes late at night — prompting her to call herself a “wind-up toy,” as referenced in one of her book titles. For now, she’s cherishing her first review and looking forward to having her books available to the public at The Book Table, which she said has agreed to sell them.

Malbec wines soaring in popularity

he enemy of wine is oxygen. A newly opened bottle of wine often improves with airing, but kept overnight the oxidation begins. The end product is vinegar. The nice aspect of box wines is that wine in the sack is never exposed to air, and experiments have shown that these wines can last with good flavor for several weeks. Many of us wine drinkers like more variety in our wines, and we cannot drink a full bottle of wine in one night. The solution to this dilemma is the Vacu Vin stopper. Two stoppers and the vacuum pump can be purchased from Amazon for $11.88. I have been using these stoppers for over six months and find them quite durable and easy to clean. Several weeks ago, I got sick for several days. I had a bottle of Malbec stoppered in the refrigerator for several days before I felt like drinking wine again. The wine was not the same as first opened, but still quite drinkable. I highly recommend these stoppers if you tend to have opened bottles of wine. I also use them on the sherry and port wine bottles which are always open for weeks at a time. The increasing popularity of Malbec wines from Argentina is well known. The

Logan Liquor Store has almost doubled the number of Malbec wines available here. There are several selling for under $20 that rated between 88 and 91 nationally. The La Posta winery is represented by the 2008 Angel Paulucci Vineyard Malbec, and the 2008 Pizzella Family Vineyard Malbec, both at $16.99. The Pizzella Family Malbec is rated a couple of points higher than the Angel Paulucci, but both are well balanced with intense flavors of red berries. I have had several La Posta Malbec wines in the past and have always been impressed with the quality of their wines. My favorite continues to be the 2009 Crios de Susana Balbo Malbec at $14.99 with flavors of dark currants and chocolate. During the past month I also enjoyed the 2009 Alto Las Hormigas Malbec at $11.99, but unfortunately I noticed that it is currently out of stock. A blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is found in the 2008 Caro Amancaya at $17.70. This wine is the result of collaboration from the two famous names of Catena and Rothschild. I have not had a chance to taste this wine, but it is highly rated. In trying different wines I have not been so lucky this month. Dow makes great port

wines, but the 2008 Dow Vale do Bomfim at $9.99 from Portugal is a red wine that I find only average. This is my first excursion into Portuguese wines and I may not be back a while. I was looking forward to another bottle of the 2009 d’Arenberg The Stump Jump GSM at $9.99, but like the Alto Malbec the rack was empty. If it returns be sure to buy this excellent blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre from

Australia. I was more successful with white wines this month. I was quite surprised by the delightful flavors of the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris at $11.99 from Washington. I think the secret to this wine is the addition of some Viognier. Another joy is the 2009 Starborough Sauvignon Blanc at $10.99 from New Zealand.

Along with the citrus flavors and acidity that characterize these wines is a nice finish. I will buy another bottle of this wine soon. Joining the list of excellent dry Rieslings such as the 2009 Jacob’s Creek Riesling at $12.99 from Australia is the 2008 Villa Maria Riesling at $14.99 from Marlborough in New Zealand. There must be four or five high quality dry Rieslings in the Logan Store, but this one is rated the highest. To me Australia and New Zealand are dominating in the white wine arena. Fortunately for California they have not invaded the Chardonnay field. William Moore is retired from the Utah State University chemistry and biochemistry department and currently lives in Smithfield.

doesn’t work missing person cases. But the facts in Emily Burbank’s disappearance don’t add up, and Monroe finds herself back in a place she didn’t think she’d ever see again. “The Informationist,” Taylor Stevens’ debut novel, starts out a bit slow, but not sluggish. There’s a lot of groundwork to put down and a measured, deliberate buildup to the point at which Monroe is attacked, drugged and led out into the ocean on a boat, where she comes to as she’s about to be killed by her abductors. Obviously someone doesn’t want Monroe to find Emily. It’s at this point the real adventure starts, the action doesn’t let up and the book will refuse to be put down. Monroe’s escape brings her to the man she once loved, who now has cause and means to further betray her to enemy forces. “The Informationist” is a remarkable thriller; intense and heartbreaking, with a chilling, killer climax.
