FROM THE EDITOR This year, I made an unofficial New Year’s resolution to keep a gratitude journal.

The goal is to record three things I am grateful for every day. I tried to do this last summer, but it didn’t last long — coming up with a list of what I am grateful for is a piece of cake, but taking the time to write about it every day is another thing.

This time around, I have done a better job, although I wonder how many

times I can say I am grateful for french fries.

Food makes a frequent appearance on the list. Cookies fresh out of the oven, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, doughnuts in the morning, radishes and mustard pickles have all been entries. Best friends, sweatshirts, brevity, dreams that make me laugh in my sleep, space heaters, postcards and good storytellers have also made the list.

Another dominant theme has been about the weather. Entries like “January is almost over” and “the sun doesn’t set at 5 p.m. anymore” reflect my anxious return for high temperatures and blue skies. That said, there

has been no shortage of gratitude on my part for the weather we’ve had the last week or two. Spring is coming, and with it, a beautiful Cache Valley summer.

I once heard someone say summer in Cache Valley is good for the soul, and I believe it. Reading outside in the sun, eating dinner at Summerfest, driving with the windows down, going to Cache Valley Gardeners’ Market on Saturdays and hiking — summer doesn’t get much better than that.

We live in a beautiful place, and for this I am grateful.

— Arie Kirk

Jazz ensembles to take the stage The Department of Music jazz students are jazzin’ things up for their performance Jazz Combos on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Hall on Utah State University’s Logan campus.

“This concert will feature some of our best students improvising, which has always been the heart and soul of jazz music,” said Max Matzen, assistant professor of trumpet in the Caine College of the Arts.

Several jazz combo groups will perform, including the Caine Jazz Combo, coached by Matzen.

Every student in the Caine Jazz Combo will be soloing, performing a repertoire challenging in many ways and on a high level, said Matzen. The works of jazz musicians Ryan Kisor and Terence Blanchard, among others, will be per-

Another jazz combo group creatively named “The Hellin’ Kellins” will also perform, featuring a student composition. That work, “Nasty’s Groove,” is composed by Trevor Vincent, a senior who plays the alto saxophone.

“Round Midnight” by Thelonius Monk and “Rio Funk” by Lee Ritenour will also be performed.

“Students will perform a repertoire challenging in a multitude of ways but also

Celtic performances begin tonight The Bridger Folk Music Society presents Celtic Night 2013 at the Ellen Eccles Theater in Logan at 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday, March 16. This St. Patrick’s Day celebration will feature Inishfre Irish Dance and Leaping Lulu playing an engaging mix of Celtic reels and jigs, Irish ballads sung by the band’s great tenor Kent Braddy and impeccable Irish dancing. Proceeds from Celtic Night 2013 will benefit Cache Humane Society and Four-Paws Rescue.

Inishfre Irish Dance has performed in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming since 2005.

Inishfre Irish Dance has 15 dancers ranging in age from 16 to 50 with diverse dancing experience, but all sharing a passion for Irish dance and the music that inspires.

Founding Director Julie Zufelt comes from a background in ballet and piano and became fascinated with Irish step dancing after experiencing Riverdance. Zufelt’s original choreography is set to music that combines traditional folk tunes with driving rhythms and traditional and new-age instrumentation that culminate in extraordinary high-energy entertainment.

Leaping Lulu is a neo-

traditional Celtic folk band based in Logan, featuring Sara Gunnell on violin, Liz Fallis on flute and piccolo, Don Anderson on guitar and cittern, and Kent Braddy on vocals, bodhran and cajon.

Leaping Lulu adopted its name from a jig composed

by Greg Boardman. In addition to their solo concerts and collaborations with Inishfre Irish Dance, Leaping Lulu is highly regarded for their Contra Dance music.

Leaping Lulu has recorded four albums. Highlights from past engagements include performances at the Salt Lake Arts Festival, Sun-

dance Film Festival, Celtic Stew Irish Music Festival, Thanksgiving Point Highland Games, Malad Welsh Festival, Logan Summerfest, Utah Irish Music Festival, and broadcasts on KRCLFM, KUSU and NPR’s “The Folk Sampler.”

Tickets for Celtic Night 2013 are available at the Ellen Eccles Theater box office, 43 S. Main St. in Logan, by phone at 435752-0026 or online at www. centerforthearts.us. Reserved seating prices are $15 to $19.

Pet: Deena From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: Deena is the most amazing silver tabby around! She is very unique in coloring, as she has no brown on her — she’s all silver and black! She is a super friendly and affectionate girl.

Deena does great with other cats. We are not sure how she is with dogs. She would probably do best with a little bit older kids, as she is very playful, and sometimes gets a little bit rough.

Deena needs an indoor only home, with a family that will give her the love and attention that she deserves! Call Sheri at 435787-1751 for more information.

Sundance may be over, but Logan has its own film festival to look forward to next weekend.

From March 21-23 Downtown Logan will play host to a wide variety of truly independent films that you’d likely never get to see outside of a film festival.

Over the years festivals like Sundance, while lively and fun, have fallen prey to showcasing big name stars in highly publicized movies.

In essence they’ve become “too Hollywood.” The advantage of a small town film festival like this

is getting the The Reel chance to see smaller, relaPlace tively unknown films that may surprise you.

This year I was asked to judge some of the narrative competition films. It was my pleasure to do it because I’m always on the lookout for new filmmakers and energetic voices. Having seen a few of the festival’s films already I can say that I was surprised at the quality of the movies that have been brought

in. The competing dramatic narrative films are deceptively good, and I’m not just saying that. It’s the truth.

Hopefully, you’re looking forward to the festival too. If you have no idea what to expect let me give you a few suggestions on what movies to make time for.

‘Wild Land’ exhibit celebrates artist Whereas many Americans in the 1820s viewed their continent’s untamed lands as an unknown to be feared and conquered, Thomas Cole, an English-born American artist, sought out nature’s untouched grandeur to explore and paint. He was particularly drawn to the haunting beauty of the Catskill Mountains in New York which were the setting for many of his paintings.

An exhibition about the artist’s life titled “Wild Land: Thomas Cole and the Birth of American Landscape Painting” is currently on display at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History through March 16. Admission is free. The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City.

The entrance is on the west side. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and from 1 to 5 p.m.

Fiddler performing at Ellen Eccles Theatre The Cache Valley Center for the Arts will present multi-platinum Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, in the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

“MacMaster’s jubilant instrumental music style is loved by audiences worldwide,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “MacMaster embraces the Canadian Cape Breton style in a live remarkable celebration that showcases her intricate fiddle playing but also her fun personality. The combination pays tribute to tradition but also adds some flare and diversity to her music.”

Gallery 12 paintings on display in Logan The Logan Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present the paintings of Gallery 12. These paintings will be on display March 15 to April 1, and everyone is invited to attend an opening reception from 6 to 8 tonight. Gallery 12 is simply a group of 12 professional artists residing in Idaho Falls, Idaho, who have banded together to present themselves for exhibits to promote each other and themselves at the same time.

graphics, “Wild Land” takes the audience on a journey with Cole as he revolutionizes American landscape painting. The artist’s genius lay in expressing the majesty, power and divinity of the natural world around him through strong contrasts of light and dark, extraordinary skies,

unnerving storms, trees blasted by lightening or wind, jagged cliffs and deep thunderous waterfalls. The interactive component of the exhibit includes board games such as “Walk into the Woods”; a CD of folksongs from the Catskill Mountains; and stereoview cards,

notably “Yosemite from Glacier Point.” Some of the objects on view will be a large studio easel, a stretcher bar set, a Thomas Cole paint brush, sketch books, ground pigments in small jars, a folding camp stool and, surprisingly, a broad axe in a tree stump.

Community band to present spring show The Cache Community Band and Cache Bones will perform a spring concert at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, at the Logan Tabernacle.

The Cache Community Band, now in its 37th year, is composed of many fine instrumentalists, ranging in age from 19 to 89 years old. The band includes two Utah Hall of Famers. The band’s music will consist of marches, two different musicals, a trumpet trio and a number featuring the clarinet section. The Cache Bones is a trombone choice that is made up mainly of members of the talented David and Jean Hunter family with several other outstanding musicians.

The only incredible thing about “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” is that way it makes Steve Carell so thoroughly and irreparably unlikable. In a film about magic tricks, this is the most difficult feat of all.

Even when Carell is playing characters who are nerdy (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) or needy (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) or clueless (TV’s “The Office”) or just plain odd (“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”), there’s usually an inherent decency that shines through and makes him seem relatable, vulnerable, human.

None of those qualities exists within Burt Wonderstone, a selfish and flashy Las Vegas magician who once ruled the Strip alongside his longtime friend and partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), but now finds his act has grown outdated and unpopular. Even within the confines of a comedy sketch, where he probably belongs, Burt would seem one-dimensional and underdeveloped with his hacky jokes and tacky clothes. Stretched out to

(The character’s cable TV show is called “Brain Rapist,” if that gives you an idea.) And there is some spark to the scenes between Carell and his “Little Miss Sunshine” co-star Alan Arkin as the master magician who inspired Burt as a lonely child and now lives anonymously at the nursing home where Burt is relegated to doing card tricks.

These small joys are few and far between in a comedy that’s mostly reliant on repetitive sights gags and increasingly desperate oneupmanship.

In theory, we’re supposed to feel for Burt because we see him being bullied in a flashback at the film’s start. The nerdy, neglected child of a hardworking single mom, Burt turned to magic for selfesteem, and found friendship with the like-minded and equally geeky Anton.

Their mentor was the oldschool Rance Holloway (Arkin), whose moves they watched repeatedly on VHS. Thirty years later, Burt and Anton are longtime headliners at Bally’s, going through the same bit night after night with little inspiration. For totally unexplained reasons, they hate each other — probably

There is little magic in ‘Burt Wonderstone’

‘Singin’ in the Rain’ Old Barn Community Theatre presents the iconic story on stage

O

ff of State Road 30 in Collinston, down a winding back route lies The Old Barn Community Theatre. Originally used as a barn, the building was converted into a theater in the round and has been functioning as a community theater since 1998. The facade is old, weathered wood with a sign out front as the only indication of what is inside. It may not look like a theater but it has put on dozens of plays over the years, including the latest production “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Based on the 1952 movie staring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds, the play tells the story of a silent film company making the transition to sound. The movie is often referred to as iconic, creating a challenge for any acting troupe. However, husband and wife directing duo Laura Lee and Marvin Hull felt they could do it.

“We had always loved the movie but when it came to the technical challenges of the show, we were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to pull it off. There were people who were skeptical we could do it and that kind of added to the challenge, to prove the skeptics wrong,” Marvin said.

“Because we could do it as a group, because it was something we were interested in and willing to devote time to and it was well known enough that it would draw a crowd, we decided to take on the challenge and go for it.”

The show stars David Hull as Cosmo Brown, Matt Jeppesen as Don Lockwood and Devery Greene as Kathy Selden. The show includes the same musical numbers as in the film, such as “Make ’Em Laugh” and “Gotta Dance.”

Marvin admitted he was intimidated by putting on such a familiar piece of work. “It’s a mixed bag because on the one hand, it’s well known and you don’t leave people guessing,” Marvin said. “But it is a little intimidating. For that reason, with things

that are that iconic, there are certain expectations.”

A few pieces of choreography mimic the movie in order to maintain a few of the iconic scenes such as Don, Kathy and Cosmo dancing in yellow

raincoats worn backwards or Kathy throwing a cake in Lina’s face.

“It does get a little disconcerting when you know that people are going to have expectations,” Marvin said. “And so as a result, we did our best to try and maintain some of that iconic stuff.”

Taking on a famous role didn’t bother Cece Craner, who played the squeaky-voiced Lina Lamont.

“Lina Lamont is actually a role I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve actually used part of her voice in her singing for auditions for other plays. It’s one of my top roles that I’ve ever wanted to do,” Cece said.

“I have enough experience in theater that I knew I could take it on. If they’re expecting the movie, it’s not going to be quite the same but I was up for the challenge.”

Also in regards to well-known scenes, there was the challenge of making it rain in the little theater.

David Hull, brother to Marvin, came through and designed a system to make it rain.

“It’s just a hose system that he’s connected to the warm water in our painter’s sink in the other room and strung up through. It comes up through a low intensity sprinkler system,” Marvin said. “And then he had to put directional wood pieces up there so it wouldn’t hit lighting equipment or microphones and wouldn’t spurt too far out into the audience because we’re not SeaWorld. We don’t expect to have a splash zone.”

“Singin’ in the Rain” will be playing March 15, 16, 18, 22 and 23. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are between $7 and $8 and can be purchased online at oldbarn.org or by calling the box office at 435-458-2276. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the show. The Old Barn Community Theatre is located at 3605 Bigler Rd. in Collinston.

‘Singin’ in the Rain’ Old Barn Community Theatre presents the iconic story on stage

O

ff of State Road 30 in Collinston, down a winding back route lies The Old Barn Community Theatre. Originally used as a barn, the building was converted into a theater in the round and has been functioning as a community theater since 1998. The facade is old, weathered wood with a sign out front as the only indication of what is inside. It may not look like a theater but it has put on dozens of plays over the years, including the latest production “Singin’ in the Rain.”

Based on the 1952 movie staring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds, the play tells the story of a silent film company making the transition to sound. The movie is often referred to as iconic, creating a challenge for any acting troupe. However, husband and wife directing duo Laura Lee and Marvin Hull felt they could do it.

“We had always loved the movie but when it came to the technical challenges of the show, we were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to pull it off. There were people who were skeptical we could do it and that kind of added to the challenge, to prove the skeptics wrong,” Marvin said.

“Because we could do it as a group, because it was something we were interested in and willing to devote time to and it was well known enough that it would draw a crowd, we decided to take on the challenge and go for it.”

The show stars David Hull as Cosmo Brown, Matt Jeppesen as Don Lockwood and Devery Greene as Kathy Selden. The show includes the same musical numbers as in the film, such as “Make ’Em Laugh” and “Gotta Dance.”

Marvin admitted he was intimidated by putting on such a familiar piece of work. “It’s a mixed bag because on the one hand, it’s well known and you don’t leave people guessing,” Marvin said. “But it is a little intimidating. For that reason, with things

that are that iconic, there are certain expectations.”

A few pieces of choreography mimic the movie in order to maintain a few of the iconic scenes such as Don, Kathy and Cosmo dancing in yellow

raincoats worn backwards or Kathy throwing a cake in Lina’s face.

“It does get a little disconcerting when you know that people are going to have expectations,” Marvin said. “And so as a result, we did our best to try and maintain some of that iconic stuff.”

Taking on a famous role didn’t bother Cece Craner, who played the squeaky-voiced Lina Lamont.

“Lina Lamont is actually a role I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve actually used part of her voice in her singing for auditions for other plays. It’s one of my top roles that I’ve ever wanted to do,” Cece said.

Handful of Iceberg lettuce leads to change of heart crunch.

Somewhere along the way I stopped eating Iceberg lettuce. No, not stopped eating it as often; I actually stopped eating it, a complete moratorium.

I buy red leaf, green leaf, romaine, spinach, baby greens and butter leaf.

But no Iceberg. I can tell you why. Somewhere along the way, someone told me that Iceberg lettuce had absolutely no nutritional value. Several someones, actually. So I reasoned that every bite of Iceberg was a complete and utter waste of jaw energy — like chewing mouthfuls of air.

Which is funny, because if you tell me that french fries or Twinkies (may they rest in peace)

Bread and Butter LAEL GILBERT

When I was young, I ate Iceberg lettuce. Do you recollect the stuff?

My mom would take the light green roundish head from the fridge and with the core pointed down, do a two-handed whack on the kitchen counter. With her fingers she’d fish out the dislodged core and fill the head with cold water. Then she’d swish it a few times and prop it upside down on a clean dish towel to drain. With a chop chop and a little ranch dressing, voila, we’d have salad. Or mom would deal out the large cup-shape leaves and we’d fill them with cottage cheese and cantaloupe. Or we’d top our burgers with roughly torn pieces for a little cold

have no nutritional value, I still eat them. But that is beside the point.

Last summer, my sister, who is an excellent cook, made vegetarian tacos at a family reunion.

She pulled a light-green head of Iceberg from the fridge, did a two-handed

whack on the counter, and chopped the stuff up as garnish. “How cute,” I thought, “old-school lettuce.” But, to be polite, I grabbed a cool handful and put it on my taco anyway.

It was so good. Better than good. I could not stop eating the stuff. The chopped lettuce was cool, crisp, tender, slightly sweet, and somehow deeply satisfying after a hot afternoon of pushing ping-pong balls across the lawn with my nose. It made the whole dish alive and fresh. I’d been missing out.

Iceberg lettuce does have some nutritional value, but not a lot. In one cup of lettuce there is eight calories, half a gram

$

protein, .7 grams fiber, 10 milligrams calcium and trace amounts of potassium, vitamin C, folate, vitamin K and betacarotene. So it isn’t going to be the next super-food.

But it is low in calories, has no fat, is cholesterol free and low in sodium.

And it is has a high water content … 96 percent, to be exact.

But here is the real kicker. Iceberg lettuce tastes good … if you eat it the right way. And for that reason I worked last week to perfect a wedge salad. If you are new to the concept, a wedge salad is (drum roll) a wedge of Iceberg lettuce with stuff on it. Wedges don’t come pre-washed in bags. I’ve got nothing

against convenience food, but you have to admit that a lot of bagged lettuce is not very tasty … limp, bitter and dry. Maybe that’s why Iceberg got such a bad rap in the first place … ubiquitous restaurant side salads are often from bags, often Iceberg (with a few dehydrated carrot shreds for color) and are only good if you drown them to the point that you don’t taste the lettuce anymore at all.

For my wedge salad I cut the head of lettuce in six pieces and soaked them in ice water for a couple of hours to maximize the crunch. Then I topped one with the See LETTUCE on Page 12

Films Continued from Page 5 shackled to his small hometown without much promise to do anything with his life. It’s a story of friendship, overcoming odds, and finding out what’s truly important. Showing at 10:30 p.m.

March 21 at Dansante Theater.

“Deprived” — First there was “Supersize Me,” where Morgan Spurlock got the ridiculous idea to eat at McDonald’s every meal, every day, for an entire month. Not to be outdone, local Utahan Kameron Jensen films his good friend Kurt Harris going without sleep for an entire week. The results are startling and often hilarious. Seriously, don’t try this, ever. Showing at 10:30 p.m. March 21 at Lyric Theater.

“Alquem Qualquer” (“Anyone Out There”) — I may end up tipping my cap a little too much here, but I don’t really care. This commendable little Brazilian film about a loveable, mentally handicapped man named Ze was my

favorite film I previewed before the festival. It’s a lovingly poignant tale about him and the young woman that comes into his life. Its slow, deliberate nature reveals the need for humans to interact, the importance of routine and the significance of breaking it. I sort of love this little film. It’s definitely one you should make time for if you’re planning on attending the festival. Showing at 7 p.m. March 23 at Dansante Theater.

“Things I Don’t Understand” — We’ve all seen movies about broken people. Sometimes they turn out to be life-affirming films like last year’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” On the other hand, sometimes they feel far too heavy-handed and morose to be enjoyable at all. “Things I Don’t Understand” is a melancholy affair, with a good dash of humor added in for good measure.

Lead actress Molly Ryman plays Violet, a disturbed but snarky young woman searching for anything to mean something in her life. Showing at 11 p.m.

March 23 at Dansante Theater.

Lettuce Continued from Page 11 following … spicy Thousand Island dressing, thin slices of purple onion, pieces of bacon (I know, it isn’t healthy, but the rich salty flavor and fatty taste of the bacon are a marvelous foil to the crisp coolness of Iceberg lettuce) and sliced olives. On the side I had a good thick slab of Crumb Brothers ciabatta slathered with room temperature butter. This was an incredibly satisfying meal. If you are feeling retro this week, pull on the parachute pants, get some neon bracelets on your arms and give a head of Iceberg a good two-handed whack on the counter.
