FROM THE EDITOR Is it just me, or is it time to start thinking spring ... and summer? By the time the Aggie basketball team heads to the conference tournament, that means winter is officially over in my book. And with Major League Baseball already well into spring training in Arizona and Florida, it’s hard not to get sunshine on your mind. Especially since winter basically ended around here this year after the first week of January.
So, that means the Summerfest Arts Faire is coming up fast, and it’s definitely not too soon to think about getting involved. This year, Cache Valley’s annual celebration of art, music and food will be held Father’s Day weekend —June 18-20 — at Tabernacle Square under guidance of new executive director, Elaine Thatcher. Thatcher and other Summefest officials are already trying to line up volunteer help since it takes more 300 people to help build, run and take down one of the area’s favorite events. So, if you’re interested in volunteering for this year’s Summerfest Arts Faire as
an individual, you can visit the festival’s website at logansummerfest.com to see the numerous opportunities available. To register online, look under the “Get Involved/ Volunteers” page, or send an email to Laurie at volunteers@logansummerfest.com. And, if you have a group that is interested in participating, you can also contact Laurie at the same email address. Heaven knows there are certainly worse ways to spend a summer weekend in Cache Valley than enjoying beautiful artwork, wonderful music and great food while also aiding your community. — Jeff Hunter
But Disney tale should have stayed a cartoon By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
Disney’s “Maleficent” worked because it had the guts to put a villaincentered spin on a classic princess tale. It populated a once-animated world with humans, gave them humanistic foibles, and let them deal with real, honest emotion. Perhaps Disney’s live-action reimagining of their established animated properties should’ve ended there, because if “Cinderella” is any indication, “Maleficent” was the exception. Not the rule. Kenneth Branagh’s (yes, that Kenneth Branagh) “Cinderella” is wholly pointless the way it’s set up and executed. What’s the point in retelling an animated classic with real people if all you do is hire actors and tell them to act like their cartoon counterparts? “Cinderella,” with its garish sets and overacting extremes mirrors a Disney animated feature. Only, it comes across as an overpriced senseless remake without anything new to present. It’s as if Disney handed a blank check to ABC Family and said, “Here. Go make a liveaction ‘Cinderella’ movie.” And ABC Family decided

the best way to spend the money was to go for broke on computer-generated opulence. The story is familiar. After the passing of Ella’s (she doesn’t get her nickname Cinderella until later, after her idiot stepsisters move in) two adoring parents, her idyllic life in the countryside is shattered. Her
wicked stepmother takes over the estate, runs it into the ground and places Ella into indentured servitude. Lily James of “Downton Abbey” fame stars as Cinderella, and she is all exasperated sighs and billowing arm movements. It’s as if her arms are inexorably attached to her lungs; with every deep breath her arms
thrust outward and upward like she’s about to float away. Casting Cate Blanchett as Cinderella’s stepmother is, far and away, the best thing about the movie. It’s hard not to wonder had Disney taken the “Maleficent” approach, what kind of movie they could’ve made had they focused more on the stepmother’s point of view. It would’ve given us a new personal history to explore and possibly expanded the story a wellknown character, adding dimension to her otherwise villainous flatness. Alas, See LIFE on Page 13
Pet: Alice From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: Alice looks to me to be a Siamese mix. She is around 3-4 years old and weighs 6-8 pounds. I think that, given time to adjust, she would do just fine with other cats and dogs. She is getting used to both my cats and dogs, and she does just fine with children. She is also litter-box trained. If you are interested in this wonderful cat, please contact Sarah McDonald at (801) 603-1947 or mcdonald. sarah77@gmail.com.

Old Barn presents ‘Poppins’ COMING UP
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Neither a hyper-intelligent robot nor Vince Vaughn could save the box office this weekend, which is down 38.5 percent from the same weekend last year, according to Sunday estimates from box office firm Rentrak. While Neill Blomkamp’s R-rated “Chappie” might have taken the No. 1 spot in its 3,201 theater debut, its modest $13.3 million gross is hardly anything to celebrate. It’s a career low for Blomkamp, whose previous films “Elysium” and “District 9” debuted at $29.8 and $37.4 million, respectively.
Distributor Sony remains optimistic about its $49 million film about a police robot (voiced by Sharlto Copley) that learns how to think and feel. “It certainly opened in our realm of expectations for it for the weekend,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribution. He noted that the demographic breakdown of 60 percent male and 57 percent under 30 was good for the film. Sony and its subsidiaries have released all three of Blomkamp’s films. “I certainly believe, like Neill’s other movies, that it’s going to have a really strong multiple, and we’re going to come out fine on the movie,” Bruer said.

Walking into the screening for “Run All Night,” I was greeted by a glowering lineup of angry men, each scowl more determined than the last. It was the stationary promo image projected on the screen. The studios use these images to advertise the movie’s Twitter hashtag in order to get the audience tweeting after the credits roll. There was Liam Neeson, then Joel Kinnaman, then Common and finally Ed Harris. Their stares exuded testosterone. Four alpha males bearing down on me with all the solemnity they could muster during a photo shoot where a photographer presumably told them to grimace like mountain lions stalking prey. All this sullen scowling conveyed the inescapable fact that this movie was going to be really, really serious. We begin at the end, like so many movies do nowadays. The opening shot circles down from above as mob hitman Jimmy Conlon (Neeson) lies on a forest floor, bleeding profusely, narrating what appears to be his own demise. Whenever a movie begins at the end, we’re supposed to rhetorically ask ourselves, “I sure do hope we find out how we got here. Gee, this is really interesting stuff.” Lately, however, this gimmick has quickly worn its welcome. If not done with thought and care, beginning at the end could very well spoil your movie before it’s even started. Thus, we come to “Run All Night.” It becomes very clear, very fast, that “Run All Night” is going to be

SHAKE YOUR (PIRATE) BOOTY Logan Dance Club continues tradition started in 1938 Couples danced the night away last Saturday at the Logan Golf & Country Club during the Logan Dance Club’s “Shiver-Me-Timbers” Ball. Decked out in Jolly Roger flags and other pirate and nautical decor, the clubhouse housed about 70 attendees for the Logan Dance Club’s first event of the year. Since 1938, the group has held four costume-themed dances per year, each with an overarching theme. John Nelson and his wife, Colleen O’Neill, are committee members and helped organize this month’s dance. “It’s always been a live band, dancing and dinner,” Nelson said. “This year’s theme is ‘Dancing across the water.’ We have a Baja Beach Ball theme coming up in June; it’s a baja fiesta thing. Then we have a Luau Ball in September. In December is the Winter Formal, and that’s always a formal- suit, tie, tux, gown.” Nelson said the Winter Formal probably ties in most with the original dance club which has been going for 77 years. “It was filling a void for people in this valley,” he said. “It was always members, friends of friends kind of affair. Back then it was probably
more swing and then progressed to everything from the Ramones to Shania Twain to Steve Miller.” Nelson and O’Neill moved to Cache Valley from California about a decade ago, and the first five years they were here, the couple struggled finding a local nightlife. “We thought, We’re coming to a valley with 100,000 people, there has got to be something. It was discouraging for us,” Nelson said. “Then we met a couple who told us there was this dance club that had what we were looking for.” Nelson said the couple they met sponsored them into their first dance, which was costume-themed — a bonus for the two. “Who doesn’t want to dress like a pirate, or a biker, or a cowboy? It was like, Wow this is exactly what we’re looking for, and we get it four times a year,” Nelson said. With this group, Nelson said, you can really encompass the “dance like nobody’s watching” adage. Back in the ’70s, the live bands were often from Ogden and Salt Lake for Logan Dance Club events. Nelson said today there are more opportunities to use local bands.
The live band for the piratethemed ball was Heywire, a classicrock-style band with members from Cache, Box Elder and Salt Lake counties. “They rocked the house,” Nelson said. “They packed the dance floor for two hours.” The band for June’s dance hasn’t been decided yet, but the other two events will feature local bands: Wasatch Back in September, and Heather Davis and the F Tones in December. There are a few lifetime members who have been in the dance club for more than 40 years. Dale and Mattie Anne Webber have been attending for the past 45 years and watched the dances morph into a costumethemed party from a generally consistent suit-and-tie affair. “Some people go all out with the costumes, and others don’t dress up at all,” Nelson said. “There are awards for some of the best costumes.” “Whoever’s running the dance can come up with the awards,” O’Neill added. “We’ve made a lot of new friends, and we’ve have a great time.”

Nielsen wins Arrington Writing Award The winner of the 2014 Arrington Writing Award, a competition held in conjunction with the Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture at Utah State University, was announced at the Friends of Merrill-Cazier Library spring lecture on March 5. This year’s award went to Chad Nielsen and comes with a $1,000 cash prize. The writing competition is open to university students studying at any of the region’s universities. After reviewing the 2014 submissions, competition judges decided to award only one prize. Students entering the competition submitted an essay written after attend-
ing the Arrington Mormon History Lecture. This year’s lecture was held in fall 2014 and featured a lecture titled “Heroes and Hero Worship: Brigham Young and the Utah War” by Ronald Walker. The completion essays responded to and expanded upon the lecture. The title of Nielsen’s winning essay is “Hero Worship and Persecution: Zerah Pulsipher and the Utah War.” “Chad’s essay was well crafted, utilized extra sources and was a wonderful reply to Ron Walker’s lecture,” said Brad Cole, director of USU’s Special Collections and Archives and interim dean of University Libraries. “The judges were impressed with

Vogel art comes to Utah St. Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, a librarian and a postman of modest means, began acquiring works by contemporary artists in the 1960s. Over the next 40 years the couple amassed a vast, diverse collection of contemporary art that included almost 5,000 pieces by roughly 200 artists. The collection focused on conceptual, minimalist and post-minimalist art. Due to the continuing growth of their collection, in 2008, the Vogels worked with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., to announce a gift of 2,500 works by 177 artists, with 50 works going to one museum in each state. The gift was intended to heighten public awareness of contemporary art and artists. The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University is the beneficiary of the gift to the state of Utah. Art from the gift is featured in the exhibition “The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States” opening at the
Contemporary art collectors Dorothy Vogel, with her late husband, Herbert, donated art from their impressive collection that eventually went to museums in each of the country’s 50 states.
NEHMA on Thursday, March 19, with an opening reception and refreshments that evening from 7 to 9 p.m. “The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States” presents the complete Vogel gift to the state of Utah for the first time. The exhibition includes works by Lynda Benglis, Richard Tuttle, Lucio Pozzi, Cherly Laemmle,
Richard Nonas and many others. The pieces vary in style and medium and, presented as a whole, demonstrate the multitude of expressions within contemporary art. In conjunction with the exhibition, the documentary film “Herb & Dorothy 50x50” will be shown at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at the Kent Concert Hall located in
the Chase Fine Arts Center on the USU campus. Dorothy Vogel and filmmaker Megumi Sasaki will be in attendance for a post-film discussion. “As a museum dedicated to modern and contemporary American art, we at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art are so honored to be the recipient of the Vogels’ gift of 50 artworks to the state of Utah and to share it with our community,” said Katie Lee Koven, executive director of the NEHMA. “The Vogels’ passion for collecting art, coupled with their generosity in sharing a gift of 50 artworks to every state, is unmatched on a national level.” The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel exhibition is supported in part by Utah Division of Arts and Museums, the National Endowment for the Arts and Fuhriman’s Framing in Logan. Admission for all museum programs and exhibitions at USU are free, and the public is encouraged to attend.

New USU art exhibit opens up Utah State University’s Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art opens a second exhibition on Thursday, March 19, “ARTsySTEM: The Changing Climate of Arts and Sciences.” According to exhibit organizers, the arts and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields share a necessity for undertaking imaginative inquiry of what is perceived as truth and beauty. The ARTsySTEM exhibition highlights that endeavor by showcasing work that has both cursory and direct symbiotic relationships between the arts and sciences. Artists featured in the exhibition range from being inspired by science, including Mark Dion and printmaker Taiga Chiba, to those who engage in direct scientific analysis within a branch of STEM, as exampled by Allison Kudla.

The Logan Fine Art Gallery and the Cache Valley Chapter of the Utah Watercolor Society present the spring show, “Where We Live.” A reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 20, at the Logan Fine Art Gallery, 60 W. 100 North. An awards ceremony will be begin at 7 p.m. that night, and the exhibit will run from March 20 to May 9. Artists participating range from novice to professional, including Ernie Verdine, Kristi Grussendorf, Diane Adams, who are well known in the regional art world. Newcomers Jeannie Millecam and Eiko Anderson and many others are beginning to receive recognition for their unique styles of painting: Anderson for her delicate sumi-e Japanese brush painting, and Jeannie for her fresh plein landscapes
and scenes of Europe. The Utah Watercolor Society has been around for more than 20 years. Members support each other by critiquing each other’s art when attending workshops together and encouraging each other’s artistic endeavors. Laura Hawley is quoted as saying, “Artists are often solitary people but they still benefit from the support of a group. Eiko gave me my first 11-by-14 watercolor paper because I was afraid to go that big.” This is an example of the kindness and caring of the members. Phil Harrison, the show chairman, donates his time as do many others to make exhibits happen. All positions are staffed by volunteers, and it takes many people to organize the society’s activities.

Jazz Combos concert set for March 18 at Utah St. Utah State University’s Department of Music presents the spring Jazz Combos concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, in the Caine Performance Hall. Tickets are $10 adults, $8 youth and seniors, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information, visit the CCA Box Office in room L101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu. Combos are coached by CCA Department of Music faculty Max Matzen and Josh Skinner. “Combos I and II each learned at least one of their songs the old school way — by ear,” said Skinner. “They all listened to the same recording to learn their parts, and written
music was never used. Jazz is music learned aurally, which presents a unique and exciting challenge for students working to get better at it.” Combo III focused on learning “Did You Call Her Today,” a contrafact on the tune “In a Mellow Tone,” Skinner said. “Combo II also worked on learning tunes that were new and unique to their instrumentation,” said Skinner. “This includes ‘Riverboat Shuffle,’ ‘Unit Seven’ and ‘St. James Infirmary.’ “Those in attendance will have an opportunity to hear the results of hours of study and practice,” said Skinner. “Students will improvise and create music based on jazz standards.”
‘Russian Recital’ coming up at Caine Performance Hall
Utah State University’s Department of Music presents a “Russian Recital” with Nikolai Choubine, piano, and Cindy Dewey, soprano, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, in the Caine Performance Hall on the campus of Utah State University. The “Russian Recital” is free and open to the public. “Nikolai is originally from Russia and is here this year because his wife is an ethnomusicologist teaching at the Caine College of the Arts,” said Dewey, recital performer and director of voice in USU’s music department. “He asked me if I would like to sing some
Rachmaninoff songs, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work on my Russian with a native speaker. Rachmaninoff songs are fabulous and beautiful and make everyone want to become a singer when they hear them.” Dewey said the first time she sang Rachmaninoff, she coincidentally had the opportunity to be coached by another Russian pianist who was a music faculty member where she was then teaching. “Russian is a language full of consonant clusters, and in singing, the voice is carried on the vowels, so it is quite challenging initially for non-
native Russian speakers to figure out how to include all the necessary consonant sounds while singing without slowing down the arrival of the vowel sound,” said Dewey. Along with Rachmaninoff, the recital also features works by Mussorgsky and Scriabin. “I have chosen a program that is representative of Russian music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries,” said Choubine. “Mussorgsky is a composer who is associated with the Russian nationalist movement of the 19th century and often used Russian topics in his music.”

In 2014, Inishfre joined forces with An Tús Nua Irish Dance Academy to provide Cache Valley with both performance-style and competition-based Irish dance instruction.
An Tús Nua Irish Dance Academy was founded in 2011 by Terena Lund to specialize in Irish step dance competition training. Lund initially danced with Inishfre, but her search to become certified in Irish dance lead her to dance with the Crawford School of Irish Dance in Salt Lake City, and then to An Daire Academy of Irish Dance in Portland, Oregon.

As far as being family friendly, it is. However, I can’t say that most of the kids in the screening I attended were paying close attention as it drew to a close. There’s simply little point taking them to a movie that offers nothing more than the animated feature does. There aren’t even any catchy songs to enjoy. If the theater I was in is any indication, holding most children’s attention might be more than this movie can handle. But there is a silver lining. Attached to the beginning of “Cinderella” is a new “Frozen”-inspired short called “Frozen Fever,” which is utterly delightful. It’s only about five minutes long, but it’s better than just about anything in the feature presentation it precedes. Come to think of it, “Frozen Fever” isn’t so much attached to “Cinderella,” as “Cinderella” is attached to “Frozen Fever.”
