FROM THE EDITOR It is no secret I am anxious for summer to arrive. I need more sunshine in my life and this waffling between sunny and cloudy weather just isn’t doing it for me. My lament over cold weather has been almost continuous since fall, so I was excited about the nice weather we had last weekend. I spent some time outside and it was lovely. The overcast skies have got

me feeling pretty antsy, so until we get more consistent clear skies and high temperatures, I’m trying to keep myself busy — going to different events around the valley and spending time with family and friends. Last weekend, my brother-in-law ran in a 5K, so I was there to support him. I also went to Celtic Night at Ellen Eccles Theatre. This weekend, I have plans to see “Tarzan: The Musical.” There are a lot of events scheduled for the coming days. Performances of “Sleeping Beauty” begin today at Ellen Eccles Theatre. There are two productions of “Heads and Tales” on

Saturday at Unicorn Pillow Theatre. The Jazz Kicks Band has a concert Tuesday, March 25. And on March 27, Four Seasons Theatre Company begins its production of “The Sound of Music” I find that going to the movies is a nice escape, too. Cache Magazine movie critic Aaron Peck reviews two of the movies — “Divergent” and “Muppets Most Wanted” — coming to theaters this weekend. Read about these events and more in this week’s Cache Magazine. — Arie Kirk

‘Muppets’ packed with laughs

“Being cast as Aurora has been one of my biggest dreams since I started ballet.”

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

Rarely does a franchise translate so well from generation to generation. Introduced to the world by Jim Henson in the mid-’50s, The Muppets have shown uncanny ability to flow and change with the times. Ageless puppets that seem to be universally beloved by both old and young, audiences and celebrities. Characters, that as far as we’re concerned, are operating independent of any puppet master. Something quite unique occurs to any person who happens to be on camera with them. A small twinkle in the eye, a slight childlike grin. Not too many other characters have quite this effect on people. “Muppets Most Wanted” is a follow-up to “The Muppets,” but as we’re so kindly informed during the first song-and-dance number, this is actually the seventh sequel since the original film, but who’s counting, right? Speaking of the first musical number, the entire song is a freeassociation brainstorming session concerning what this movie should be about. Self-awareness has always been a Muppets mainstay, and this song merely sets up how gloriously self-referential the movie will become. During that opening number not one of the Muppets speculated the true plot of the movie though. Through their loveable naiveté the Muppets have hired a new manager with an ominous sounding name, Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) to

Described as “powerful” (The New York Times), “polished, engaged” (The Classical Voice of North Carolina) and “compelling” (The Strad), the Jasper String Quartet will play a wide-ranging concert, including music from the 18th,19th and 20th centuries. The quartet is made up of J. Freivogel, violin, Sae Chonabayashi, violin, Sam Quintal, viola, and Rachel Henderson Freivogel, cello, who have played together as the Jaspers since 2006, when they formed the quartet at Oberlin Conservatory. Jaspers perform pieces emotionally significant to its members ranging from Haydn and Beethoven through Berg, Ligeti, and living composers. They have commissioned string quartets

Quartet’s “programming savvy” (clevelandclassical.com) and they have performed throughout the United States and in Canada, England, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway and Panama. Educational outreach is a highlight of the Jasper quartet’s professional life. The members have brought well over

100 outreach programs into schools and enjoy educational work of all types. During the week before their performance in Logan, they plan three days of outreach with Cache Valley high-school and elementary-school students, as well as a master class at Utah State University. During a musical residency at

the Banff Centre, they embarked on “guerrilla chamber music,” performing concerts in unusual settings around Alberta, Canada. Currently, the quartet works closely with Philadelphia’s Astral Artists to bring outreach activities to schools. At Oberlin Conservatory, the Jasper String Quartet studied with James Dunham, Norman Fischer, and Kenneth Goldsmith as Rice University’s Graduate Quartet-in-Residence. In 2008, the quartet continued its training with the Tokyo String Quartet as Yale

The Jazz Kicks Band, directed by Larry Smith, is presenting the second concert of Stan Kenton’s music Tuesday, March 25, in the Performance Hall on the USU campus. Concert time is 7:30 p.m. Admission: $8 for adults, students are free. When pianist Stan Kenton (1911-1979) launched his new band in southern California in 1941, he composed and arranged most of the music himself. His band, which he called “Artistry in Rhythm,” gained popularity in 1943 while playing at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Newport Beach. Soon, the band was popular across the U.S. Stan was always looking for new ideas and new composers and

“They say the war was terrible,” narrates our plucky protagonist, and just like that we’ve been thrust into yet another teenage-centric dystopian future where oppression is the new hotness. We descend on an overgrown Chicago. A distant future where people have been separated into districts… ahem, excuse me … “factions.” The go-to storytelling device of societal oppression, class systems. “Divergent,” along with just about every other young adult dystopian story, is obsessed with its clever ideas. Right from the outset we’re mired in copious amounts of exposition. Tris (Shailene Woodley), the plucky protagonist mentioned earlier, is tasked with getting us up to speed on the happenings of this supposed utopian society. The prologue is a dense jumble of plotting. The factions are named and explained — Abnegation (selfless), Amity (peaceful), Candor (honest), Dauntless (brave), and Erudite (intelligent). At some point I assume we’re supposed to let out a collective gasp at how original and creative this concept seems. Then we realize it’s simply a cliffnotes version of the Boy Scout Law (wonder which one of those fac-

“Divergent” lacks any sort of emotional connective tissue. At least “The Hunger Games” movies have a semblance of humanistic emotion. “Divergent” is void of any sort of societal context. We’re only allowed to know what we’re told. The characters aren’t given any wiggle room to show us the true horrors they live amongst. “Divergent” is so in love with its own plot it drops characterization by the wayside. With so many of these angst-driven scifi teen dramas coming out, a formula is taking root. A needlessly detailed prologue leads us in; we’re introduced to a young heroine with a wacky name who refuses to conform; segregation occurs; training commences; coming-of-age initiates: unlikely friends emerge; forbidden romances blossom; and eventually the oppressive powers-that-be meet their greatest

‘Divergent’ a mediocre and soggy story

‘Sleeping Beauty’ Performers in this classic ballet discuss their journey to the stage

he main character in “Sleeping Beauty,” is of course, the princess Aurora. However, her story wouldn’t be complete without the attention of the princes in her kingdom, including the dashing Prince Charming. Director Sandy Emile, director of the Cache Valley Civic Ballet, said while ballet brings to mind visions of beautiful ballerinas, ballet was once considered a form of martial arts limited to men only. The present full-length version of “Sleeping Beauty” opens at the Ellen Eccles Theatre this weekend, and five young men have starring roles in this classic ballet. Each of them has a unique story about how they were drawn to ballet. Steven Freestone of Amalga said if it would have been up to him, he wouldn’t have had anything to do with ballet because he thought it was “too girly.” However, after an unlikely series of events led him straight to ballet, he now has one of those lead roles in “Sleeping Beauty.” According to Freestone, his mom finally convinced him to take one year of ballroom dance when he was about 12 years old. At the end of that time period, Freestone said his mom would not push him into dance anymore if he really didn’t like it. “I fell in love with it (ballroom dancing) about halfway through,” he said. Some time later, he spent the night at a friend’s house, and the next morning, his friend said Freestone could either go home or go to ballet practice with him.

He went to ballet practice because he didn’t want to walk home in the rain, Freestone said. Once there, the teacher told him he could stand out in the rain — or he could dance. Stephen Milsap said as a child, he grew up watching recordings of his mom, who was once in “The Nutcracker.” At the age of 6, he expressed his interest in ballet. His family was living in Salt Lake City at the time and they commuted to Logan for years so he could dance with the Cache Valley Civic Ballet, which is one of only two community ballets in Utah. “I fell in love with it but my mom didn’t,” Milsap said. The family has since moved to Honeyville and Milsap now has one of the prince roles. McAuley Shoemaker of Logan joins Freestone and Milsap on the ballet stage. Shoemaker said his start in ballet came after a friend invited him to be a mouse — and at the time, he didn’t really know what that meant, so he just said “sure.” Shoemaker, who was participating in Aikido, a form of Japanese martial art, said he was actually excited when he arrived at the Whittier Center and learned he would be dancing in “The Nutcracker.” “I thought the ballerinas were beautiful and graceful and I wanted to be a part of that,” he said. Tabor LeCheminant describes himself as the “infant” of the group because he just started dancing last year. While he had grown up watching ballet and he thought male dancers were “cool,”

he had never pursued dance himself. Last summer, he was invited to the Civic Ballet by a girl — Freestone’s sister — and he has been there ever since. “It has been a really great experience to see how hard everybody works,” he said. These four princes dance along with Luke Anderson, who plays Prince Charming. They are all trying to capture Aurora’s heart.

Anderson is a USU engineering student and figure skater-turned-dancer. Inspired by the skaters who participated in the 2002 Winter Olympics, Anderson started figure skating to begin with. However, his instructor said he needed to work on becoming a more graceful skater, so Anderson was sent to Emile, who jokes that his grace is still an ongoing project. Over time, Anderson said he ultimately fell in love with dance and quit skating. “Dancing for me is a matter of being well rounded,” Anderson said. “I love the science in engineering, but also the art in ballet. I wouldn’t be happy with just one.” Each of the princes are featured in what could have been the first bachelor rose ceremony, and of course, Prince Charming has the magical kiss that wakes Sleeping Beauty, who is performed by leading lady Hanna Corcoran. “Being cast as Aurora has been one of my biggest dreams since I started ballet,” Corcoran said. At the age of 12, Corcoran danced in a single act version of the ballet as a maid of honor. Now, she has been cast in the role of the princess, an opportunity she says is the most challenging but also the most rewarding. “Sleeping Beauty,” which was first performed in 1890, begins Friday with an evening performance at 7:30. Saturday performances are at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and the final performance will be Monday, also at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at cachearts.org or at the Ellen Eccles box Office at 43 S. Main St. in Logan. — Amy Macavinta

It’s trendy to talk about your bucket list and the 50 things you absolutely positively should eat/see/read/hear/ buy/attend before you die. It is also the worst kept secret that these lists are just advertisements for products and vacations. The bucket list is really all about perspective; like the proverbial glass, is the bucket half empty or half full? Of course if you kick the bucket it’s 100 percent empty so that’s where the metaphor falls apart. But still, it’s pretty easy harmless fun to rattle off everything your greedy little imagi-

Bucket list really all about perspective south of San Francisco where there is a houseboat funded by a new Animal Planet reality TV show is waiting for us. I leave a note on the RV that says, “Sorry, keep my deposit” to Cruise America RV place and get on the boat with my dogs. Dennis’s Barking Barge Bucket List Cruise enjoys limited and short lived success until the sponsors bail out due to the high cost of dealing with 48 geriatric seasick dogs and a drunken captain. With what remaining money, Dramamine and kibble we have left we cruise up the coast to Oregon where I’m hoping euthanasia is still legal.

I know there some practicalities here that don’t work out; that’s why I said it is a dream. I know many of you have had the same dream; I was just the first one to write it down. But maybe the bucket is half full. Maybe there are things that you don’t want to don’t want to do before you die. Again, I’ll go first. I hope I don’t go crazy and get hair implants or a sports car; whichever costs less. I hope I don’t literally meet my maker. I would have liked to when I was younger and still under warranty but at this point all I would do

is complain about the built-in obsolesce of this particular model. I hope not to be a greeter at Walmart but could possibly consider something at Dunkin Donuts; everybody is happy around donuts. I hope I never look my age or like Keith Richards, whichever comes first. I hope to never look or sound like any of the people on “Duck Dynasty” even thought I did grow up in that neck of the woods. ——— Dennis Hinkamp would like to thank you all today just in case this bucket list is put into motion tomorrow.

Musicians to perform Brahms’ Requiem By Eric Warren USU Media Relations

Cache Valley will play host to one of the most celebrated and recognizable pieces of music to come from Germany when the 300 members that make up the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra perform Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 28, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. “We are delighted to be able to perform this beautiful and very moving piece in Cache Valley,” said Craig Jessop, director and conductor of the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. “Brahms’ Requiem presents us with a unique opportunity to bring together musical talents from all over the valley, and beyond, to one

stage and perform a magnificent piece of musical history.” Jessop said that Brahms’ Requiem reflects a time of tragedy in Brahms’ life and shows how he chose to commemorate loss. Rather than use remorseful Latin prose, he created a celebration of life; a musical tapestry filled with elegant melodies, infused with the rich vocal textures of Germanic prose, and coupled with the beautiful sonance of a full orchestra. According to Utah State University assistant professor of musicology Christopher M. Scheer, Brahms’ Requiem is arguably one of the most important pieces of choral music written in the 19th century. “The inspiration for its composition may have been the passing of

Brahms’ beloved mother, though many scholars have noted that some musical material used in the Requiem dates from 1856, around the time of the death of his close friend, the composer Robert Schumann,” Scheer said. Though modeled on the Roman Catholic mass for the dead, Brahms drew his texts from Martin Luther’s German Bible,

which is why the work is in German and not in the customary Latin. Scheer commented that Brahms takes many liberties with the traditional requiem texts, playing down and expunging references to Christian dogmas, while emphasizing the human experiences of suffering and bereavement. The work reflects Brahms’ personal view of the spiritual, and he is even said to have remarked that the work should be called a human requiem. “Everything about Brahms’ masterpiece is elegant and exquisite,” said Jessop. “My hope is that our audience will fully experience the music as it fills the hall and reverberates with the grace it was composed for.” To help accomplish

that, Jessop has enlisted renowned vocalists Cindy Dewey and Steve Meredith. Dewey, an associate professor at Utah State’s Caine College of the Arts, has appeared as soprano

soloist with orchestras across the United States and Canada. She has performed numerous works with American Festival See BRAHMS on Page 12

Books Writer reprises cross-country bicycle trip By Jerry Harkavy Associated Press

A cross-country bicycle trip, like an end to end hike of the Appalachian Trail, is usually a one-and-done experience, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that doesn’t bear repeating. Not so for Bruce Weber, a longtime reporter for The New York Times who at age 57 decided to reprise the coast-to-coast ride he took 18 years earlier, post a blog at stops along the route and then make the journey the focus of his latest book, “Life Is a Wheel.” After flying to Portland, bike to fly to a funeral in Los Ore., to pick up the $8,000 Angeles and a wedding in bike he shipped from New New Orleans. York, Weber set out from For readers who haven’t coastal Astoria on what pedaled the roads for some would be a 4,122-mile ride time, the author lays out the that took him to 15 states familiar agonies and dangers over a 101-day stretch that of long-distance cycling: included a few days off the

Story Continued from Page 7 threat. “Divergent” ticks away like clockwork, checking off all mandatory boxes on its dystopian-future checklist. Without any original thoughts, it flounders along defunct of heart or worthwhile characters. It’s too bad, since Woodley is such a superb actress when given the right material. Check out her work in “The Spectacular Now” and then watch “Divergent.” You’ll understand what you’re missing. She does the absolute best with what she’s given, but the

script is so bland, so sanitized. Never challenging the viewer (or in the case of Veronica Roth’s novel, the reader) to think for themselves. The generic instructions are laid out; all that’s left is to match the numbers with their corresponding colors and presto! A mediocre story, which hopes one day to be the next big billion dollar franchise. “Divergent” is a soggy story, bogged down by dopey romance and wooden characters. It’s hard to fault Woodley for wanting to helm her own YA franchise as an up-and-coming young actress, but sadly she’s overqualified for such derivative drivel.

steep, muscle-straining hills, fierce head winds, speeding truckers, roads with narrow or nonexistent shoulders and choppy, debris-strewn pavement. But magnificent vistas that elevate Weber’s spirits help compensate for the pain. Even after he bonks for the first time in 90-degree heat in the scrublands of eastern Washington, he abides by his mantra that “moving forward is the cure for all ills. Keep pedaling.” Weber’s trip is a solitary exercise, but the advent of the cellphone and the Internet make it far less lonely than the 1993 ride when pay phones offered his only link to the outside world. “One day you’re a Flintstone, the next a Jetson” is his take on the technology leap that enables him to dispense texts, emails and phone calls at

Brahms Continued from Page 11 Chorus and Orchestra, including Haydn’s Creation, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Orff’s Carmina Burana, as well as in works by Mozart and Bach. Dewey’s students have gone on to perform at opera houses in the United States and Europe, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Meredith is an oft sought-after baritone and was a favorite of Grammy Award-winning conductor Robert Shaw. Meredith sang Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and 9th Symphony under his direc-

will. The long hours in the saddle gave him ample opportunity for reflection, enabling Weber to share thoughts on life and death, of which he is intimately acquainted through his most recent work as an obituary writer. His book is more than a chronicle of his two-wheel journey across endless prairie and farm fields and through countless small towns and suburbs. One of the most fascinating sections recalls the author’s 1995 bike trip in Vietnam, a more gripping adventure than anything he encounters on his latest ride. He is arrested while riding alone in the jungle, then stranded without food or water, an episode he can now fondly look back on as “one of the great moments of my life.” He writes about his some-

tion with orchestras throughout the United States. Meredith also has appeared regularly with other notable conductors, including Margaret Hillis, Hermann Michael, Stewart Robertson and Robert Page. He is the music department chair and director of choral activities at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. Dewey concurred that it is generally believed Brahms wrote his German Requiem in honor of his mother, and said that it takes on special significance for her when she can perform it in honor of her own mother. “Because of my close relationship with my mother, it is special to perform a piece that is

times tumultuous relationships with family members, the changing cast of women in his life and how a wife and children never came to pass. But at a stage of life when thoughts of advancing mortality gain traction, Weber finally finds that special woman, a former co-worker named Jan, with whom he wants to share his life. The romance took root during a bike trip — how else? — in the south of France. And if Weber ever decides on a third cross-country bike ride, Jan intends to go with him. This delightful book is sure to appeal to cyclists who may harbor dreams of pedaling from coast to coast. But any reader simply looking for a well-written and entertaining travel story filled with insightful thoughts about life, family and aging will not be disappointed.

about the mother-child relationship,” Dewey said. “In the fifth movement where I sing the soprano solo, the choir’s text translates as ‘I shall comfort you, as one whom his mother comforts,’ and in that moment, I am truly comforted.” Opening the program is Utah composer Jeff Detton’s Tritone: A Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, which was inspired by the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and is based around a tritone, the most dissonant musical interval. This performance marks the debut of Detton’s first major work for piano and orchestra. Born in 1986, Jeff Detton showed exceptional

musical talent from an early age. Self-taught in his earliest years, Detton began composing at age 8, and has been writing symphonic music since age 10. Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem will conclude the sixth concert season for the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra. “I can think of no greater season finale than this performance to enable us to continue our goal of providing a culture of musical excellence that edifies, entertains and educates performers and audiences,” Jessop said. Ticket prices are $12, $16 and $20. For more information visit americanfestivalchorus. org, or call (435) 7520026.

The 2013/2014 National Tour of the new musical “The Addams Family,” based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will make its Logan premiere March 29 at The Ellen Eccles Theatre. “The Addams Family” will be performed March 29 at 2 and 8 p.m. at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

“The Addams Family” will be performed March 29.

The production features lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Craig Cassidy and puppetry by Basil Twist. “The Addams Family” features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in

her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and

drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. With a unique style that combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment, Addams’ drawings have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series and motion pictures.

his final decisions on his need and desire to hold onto the best of both worlds,” said Risch.

Arriving in Ogden, Utah, on Dec. 7, 1945, Joe McQueen originally intended to play a week’s worth of gigs at the famed Porters And Waiters Club, but wound up staying and making Utah his home. Over the years, Joe McQueen has had the distinction of being the first African American Musician to play white clubs in Ogden, Utah, as well as being the first African American to attend white clubs in Salt Lake City, when Dizzy Gillespie put Joe and famed jazz DJ Al Jazzbo Collins on the guest list. During his lifetime, Joe has had the opportunity to perform with such noted legends as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Lester Young, Charlie Parker and many, many others. In 2002, Utah Governor Mike Leavitt declared April 18 to be Joe McQueen Day. Over the past 12 years, this date has been marked with many concerts, celebrations and events. At the seasoned age of 94, Joe McQueen is not slowing down. He continues to perform more than 60 shows a year with his quartet featuring Ryan Conger on Hammond organ, Brad Wright on guitar, and Dr. Don Keipp on drums.
