FROM THE EDITOR I must admit, it wasn’t until coming across a few recent stories online that I realized that this week in March is the perfect time for a man to have a vasectomy.

But now it just seems obvious. And honestly, somewhat appealing if you’re a fan of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

After all, you apparently need about four days to recover from the surgery, which means that those males who

undergo the procedure basically have an almost unending supply of great college basketball games to enjoy while they’re confined to bed.

It certainly beats lying in bed and watching golf and sitcom reruns during a stretch of beautiful summer weather in July.

“From a vasectomy standpoint, we probably do two to three more times vasectomies this month than the average month,” Dr. Tait Fors of the Wisconsin Institute of Urology stated in a story published on aol.com.

“Some of them absolutely admit it.

Some, we’ll kind of ask them if that had

any part in their thought process and they say no, but you can see the little twinkle in their eye.”

The downside, of course, is the associated pain. Not to mention, that from what I understand, after a vasectomy, you’re really going to want to avoid sudden, violent movement.

And that pretty much eliminates what I just did a few minutes ago while celebrating 12th-seeded Yale’s huge upset of fifthseeded Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Go Bulldogs.

CVCB presents ‘Beauty’

Ballet takes to the Ellen Eccles Theatre stage this weekend

– Cache critic Aaron Peck on “Divergent: Allegiant” (Page 9)

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

The Cache Valley Civic Ballet’s presentation of “Beauty and the Beast” returns to the Ellen Eccles Theatre this weekend.

Last performed at the Ellen Theatre 20 years ago, the CVCB is pleased to bring this classic tale back to Cache Valley at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 18, and 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 19.

The Cache Valley Civic Ballet believes that cultural enrichment is an important part of a student’s education.

In an effort to provide cultural opportunities for students and the community, the CVCB has partnered with a generous corporate donor to provide complimentary tickets for all kindergarten through fifth-grade students from Cache Valley.

An entire generation has grown up with the Disney version of the classic story. Patrons will find the ballet production familiar, but will be able to go beyond the Disney telling of the story as the ballet tells anew the story of love, kindness, and acceptance.

“Beauty and the Beast” adult ticket prices range from $10 to $21, are free for K-5 students, and high school and college students can take advantage of a 25 percent discount.

Tickets are available online at cvcballet.org, by calling 752-0026 or at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Box Office at 43 S. Main St. The role of Beauty will be performed

by Britnie Jenkins. Jenkins has studied with the Cache Valley School of Ballet for 13 years and has been a member of the Cache Valley Civic Ballet for six years. She has studied primarily under the direction of Sandra Emile, Karyn Hansen, Pamela Kirschman and Becky Erickson.

Previously she has danced the roles of Snow Princess, Spanish Pas de Deux and Marzipan lead in “The Nutcracker”

“It becomes lost in the world it creates without a clear path of where to go.”

and the Fairy of the Wildflowers in “Sleeping Beauty.”

The role of the Beast will be performed by Luke Anderson. Anderson began dancing in 2002 with the Cache Valley Civic Ballet. He has primarily

studied ballet under Emile, although he has also trained under Sergiu Brindusa and Beth Moore. In addition, he has attended numerous dance intensives and workshops specializing in a variety of dance styles.

Pet: Burgers From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Burgers is such a chill cat! He is good with other cats just as long as he has his space. He’s kind of an independent guy who would prefer just to hang out on his own somewhere in your house. He’s always been quiet and gentle so he could be great in any home just as long as he feels relaxed and safe. To learn more about Burgers, call the Cache Humane Society at 7923920, or visit the facility in person at 2370 W. 200 North. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

all mixed up AFCO set to present ‘Passion’ Dr. Craig Jessop will conduct the critically acclaimed American Festival Chorus & Orchestra, along with a stellar cast of soloists, the USU Chamber Singers and the USU Women’s Choir, in a performance of J.S. Bach’s revered sacred masterwork, “St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244,” at 7 p.m. Friday, March 25, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

A free informance and open rehearsal, providing insight into the work, will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 20, at the Logan Tabernacle.

Tickets to the performance at the Eccles Theatre at 43 S. Main St. are $13-$22. Children over 8 years old are welcome.

For more information, call 752-0026 or visit american-

festivalchorus.org.

Experiencing AFCO’s performance of this eloquent and profoundly moving work will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As a way to help bring this work to life for the audience, Jessop chose to use Robert Shaw’s English translation of the work.

“Shaw is very sensitive to the German textual/musical overlay and at the same time

very faithful to the Lutheran translation of the Bible as well,” Jessop says.

The Good Friday performance date was carefully chosen as well.

“Bach initially wrote the ‘St. Matthew Passion’ as a way to present the Passion story in music at Good Friday vesper services,” Jessop See AFCO on Page 10

DAM INSPECTION:

New ph look at

In his second book, “Dam,” Utah State University professor

of photography, Carsten Meier, hones in on the human relationship to wilderness, taking his readers on a picturesque journey through every dam he has ever visited.

Meier, 44, honed his interest in on dams during graduate school while reading Roderick Nash’s “The Wilderness and the American Mind,” which looked at the history of the American preservationist movement. Meier began to contemplate the dam as the perfect symbol for utilitarian architecture representative of humans’ relationship to nature.

“There’s something iconographic, almost a symbol for that particular relationship,” Meier said.

For his graduate thesis, he created a living dam out of natural materials on a small creek in Ohio. Meier was aware of the controversy surrounding dams and their ecological impacts, and he wanted to do something referencing the notion that a dam creates a degree of interruption within a landscape. What he found, from creating his own dam, was it created a small reservoir in the landscape. Water filled the dam in the springtime and Meier noticed that a few species, including turtles and copperheads, had made the dam their home.

“It seemed to provide more biodiversity,” Meier said.

In 2010, Meier decided he wanted to channel his interest in dams through a book using photography to tell their stories instead of words. As his second book following “Public Parking,” which featured the aesthetic of photographed parking garages, Meier began visiting dams considered controversial across the United States and Europe, and utilized a photographic typology style, placing similar objects in photographs next to each other in a sequence. Meier, however, goes a step further and extracts the dams from the photos to show the dams without valleys and the valleys without dams.

“It shows the sort of desire to have them removed and not knowing really what it will look like,” Meier said. “It sort of places this anticipation of these dams being removed from the landscape. At the same time it shows more in detail what just the dam without the landscape looks like.”

Working with an 8x10 camera on a tripod, Meier would visit and photograph dams, providing his viewers with an on-the-scene view of the landscape and transporting them to the dam’s site. The first dam he photographed was the Ecker Dam, which used to straddle the border between East and West Germany.

“What photography does as the principle function is to allow us to virtually travel, especially in architectural landscape photography which kind of comes together here,” Meier said. “We’re brought to these places simultaneously.”

“Dam,” he said, gives viewers the idea of what the purpose and the meaning of the dam is today. Meier contradicts this work

‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ finishes strong in debut

NEW YORK (AP) — Moviegoers didn’t have much to go on with the mysterious “10 Cloverfield Lane,” but the words “Cloverfield” and “J.J. Abrams” were enough.

The Abrams-produced monster movie, a socalled “spiritual successor” to 2008’s foundfootage hit “Cloverfield,” opened with a betterthan-expected $25.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was good enough for second place to the Disney animated hit “Zootopia,” which stayed on top with $50 million in its second week, a slide of only 33 percent from its opening weekend.

The weekend’s biggest disappointment was Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Brothers Grimsby,” which flopped with a mere $3.2 million. It’s a career low box-office debut for the shape-shifting British comedian by a wide margin.

Perhaps sensing trouble, Sony Pictures had postponed the release

date of the R-rated comedy numerous times.

Whereas Cohen’s most popular characters — Borat and Ali G — were deployed largely to satirize America, moviegoers showed less enthusiasm for the British parody of “Brothers Grimsby,” a poorly reviewed R-rated, U.K.-set spy comedy.

With the multiplexes stuffed with R-rated offerings (“Deadpool,” ‘’London Has Fallen,” ‘’Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”), the acclaimed “Zootopia” has had family audiences all to itself.

The film, which imagines a metropolis inhabited by animals, will have little competition before “The Jungle Book” arrives in mid-April.

Taking in $83.1 million internationally over the weekend, “Zootopia” has already made more than $430 million globally.

“With the marketplace loaded with R-rated fare, if you’re a family with kids, the only game in town right now is ‘Zootopia,’” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media

analyst for comScore.

“That film is reaping the benefits of studios somehow not realizing: ‘Hey, there’s a big void in this marketplace.’”

The directorial debut of Dan Trachtenberg, “10 Cloverfield Lane,” arrived with the opposite kind of hoopla that preceded

Abrams’ previous film, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The release of “10 Cloverfield Lane,” made for just about $13 million, wasn’t much advertised until an ominous Super Bowl spot.

Megan Colligan, head of distribution and marketing for Paramount Pictures,

said the sly, cryptic campaign got people talking about a movie that revealed little except its two stars (John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in a bunker.

“From a marketing level, it’s a challenge when a movie takes place in a relatively enclosed space

and you’re promising but not showing a bigger final act,” Colligan said. “But I think part of the excitement and mystery around the ‘Cloverfield’ name led to the promise that something exciting was going to happen, and the trust in J.J. as a brand that he delivers.”

similarities with “Allegiant”), at least it understood itself.

The world it created was succinct and fit its narrative. The “Divergent” universe is overpopulated with ideas and unable to think of good uses for them. Plus there’s an “Oblivion”-esque action sequence which is so laughable, so underdeveloped in thought and premise, that it will make you long for Kosinski’s death-defying canyon chase.

Perhaps the biggest problem with the “Divergent” franchise is that it’s so utterly undistinguished from any of the other teen dystopian dramas out there. Its story recycles ideas from others.

It becomes lost in the world it creates without a clear path of where to go. It’s essentially on autopilot. Maybe a harmless way to kill some time, but you should expect more from a multi-million-dollar franchise.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

As if ironically pointing out the bloat of this franchise, the third title in the “Divergent” series has ballooned from the one-word pattern of its predecessors (“Divergent” and “Insurgent”) to “The Divergent Series: Allegiant — Part 1.”

And yes, it’s “Part 1,” which means there’s a “Part 2” coming and hopefully — mercifully — “Divergent” will be put out to pasture.

This is a franchise that just doesn’t harbor the same fanaticism as the similar dystopian teen-saves-the-world series, “The Hunger Games.” The smattering of weak applause after “Allegiant” was over was proof enough that perhaps this series ran its course before the first movie concluded.

As we rejoin a cast of characters that are familiar — but unremarkable — you may have a hard time remembering just what’s going on here.

You won’t be alone. Just know, that like so many of these teen dystopian stories nothing is as it seems.

Tris (Shailene Woodley) has successfully led a mini-revolt against the murderous Jeanine (Kate Winslet) setting in motion a chain of events that should be more exciting. Instead, Tris and her rag-tag band of revolutionaries jump headfirst into a somber slog through tedious exposition and silly action sequences.

Future Chicago is now split after the death of Jeanine. Evelyn (Naomi Watts) threatens to push the balance of power back into Jeanine territo-

AFCO Continued from Page 4 explains.

“St. Matthew Passion” was first performed on Good Friday in 1727 at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. After Bach’s death, the St. Matthew Passion was virtually forgotten and never published until the young Felix Mendelssohn revived it in 1829.

suicides do not come up in conversation much around here. Writing long manifestos addressing the inequities of the world has been a leading indicator of membership to crazy club. Maybe you should write your own manifesto now and promptly throw it away. Or just let people figure it out the oldfashioned way. What crumb trail did you leave behind? Were you cranky or kind enough to be remembered? For now, just be kind to each other during these remaining election months.

——— Dennis Hinkamp says he won’t be writing his manifesto anytime soon because anything beyond 500 words is too much work.

A monumental musical achievement, the “St. Matthew Passion” was composed for double choir, double orchestra, organ and vocal soloists.

In the AFCO production, the role of the Evangelist will be sung by the incomparable tenor Paul Phoenix, formerly of the King’s Singers of Great Britain. Other soloists are: Darrell Babidge, Jesus; Celena Shafer, Soprano; Holly Sorenson, Alto; Robert Breault, Tenor; and John Buffett, Bass.

In Logan, the opera is presented by the students of the Caine College of the Arts and the Performance Practice Institute. The PPI embodies a project-based approach to the study of the history of performance, which enriches the intellectual and artistic life of the students involved while making accessible to Utah audiences exciting concerts of lesser known repertoires.

A pre-concert talk by Suzanne Cusick, professor of music at New York University, begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 18, and Saturday, March 19, in the Morgan Theatre of USU’s Chase Fine Arts Center. Those attending can also meet the puppets on the stage following the Saturday matinee performance of the opera.

Continued from Page 6 with landscape photographs that provide notions of romanticism. Through color photography and typology, Meier’s book, which is scheduled to be published on March 22, brings to life each dam that Meier has visited over the last five years.

“The dams are so extremely brutal in terms of their architecture and what they look like.” Meier said. “I’m using it (the book) not just to show collections of my photographs but rather to give the viewer an idea of what the purpose and what the meaning of the dam is today in our perception.”

sion is $12.

Regal Beagle will perform with Lizzy DeWitt Music and Salduro at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 24, at Why Sound, 30 Federal Ave. Admission is $6.

Among his influences are Ansel Adams, Stephen Shore, Bernd and Hilla Becher, with the Bechers inspiring him the most through their photographic typology to delineate water towers.

As a USU assistant professor of photography, Meier said passion is key in shaping the minds of aspiring photographers. Professionalism and balance between the conceptual approach and technical realization are among the many facets that help shape photography, he said.

“You’ve got to have a passion for it,” Meier said. “You really need to be completely into it, and you’ll find a niche for which you become a professor conceptually and technically.”
