ast week Arie Kirk used this space to share her love for reading and her ambitious goal to read all 341 books referenced or read on “The Gilmore Girls.” If you happened to see the staffers corner she wrote on the opinion page about a month ago, you’ll know she organizes her books by title, author or simply by color. Arie always has a book in her purse and may have recently caught the e-reader bug as well. She and I have had quite a few conversations about books and bookstores.

Arie is the one who suggested I visit Powell’s in Portland last summer which is by far the most amazing bookstore most people have probably ever seen. It’s got seven floors, takes up a whole block and has gigantic sections for everything including design, photography and art. While books and bookstores do have a place in my heart (I always wanted to work in a bookstore), I never make enough time to read. I’m ashamed to say “Jane Eyre” has been in progress for three months on my new Kindle. But one book that’s been on my radar lately is “The Hunger Games.” Soon enough I will be only person on the planet who has not read it or the rest of

the series. The movie based on the book was released today and a bunch of my friends are planning to see it. Aaron Peck gave the film an awesome review (page 6), so I’m sure audiences are going to be in for something great. Me? I’m waiting to read the book first. Every once in a while a movie comes out that inspires me to do this. “Eat Pray Love” and “The Help” are a couple of them. Everyone tells me “The Hunger Games” takes less than a week to finish and this is coming from friends who read less than I do. So, “Jane Eyre” may have to be put on hold, but maybe this will give Arie and me a new book to talk about. — Manette Newbold

Logan Out Loud celebrates first year

Come celebrate Logan Out Loud’s best (and only) year yet. The troupe is turning 1 and wants to celebrate with everyone who made that possible. Local improv group Logan Out Loud’s anniversary show will be Saturday, March 24, at 9 p.m. at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. Cost is $5. The weekly-performing comedy troupe, made up of Jonathan Ribera, Jordan Brown, Mike Grover, Kendall

Peck and Taylor Miles, draws in the crowd during every show. Audience members are asked to shout out topics or words the group uses in multiple skits. Logan Out Loud performances always generate participation for entirely on-the-spot shows and laughs. Every Saturday is different and a lot of the energy really depends on the audience. Before forming the improv group, all five of the members had been

involved with stand-up comedy, improv and acting. In a Cache Magazine story from last August, Ribera told reporter Lance Frazier that every improv group has their own chemistry. “I love the chemistry we built so each show, even though is different, has our own unique ‘nerds who discovered a team sport’ vibe.” For more information about Logan Out Loud, visit their Facebook page.

man will be woven throughout the monologues. Nearly all of the poetry Laitman has used in

the songs for this program is written by female poets. “As a vocal composer, my goal is to create dramatic music to express and magnify the meanings of the words while crafting beautiful and lyrical melodies,” said Laitman. “Each song becomes my interpretation of the poetry and creating music based on the words allows singers to easily communicate the essence of the poem to the audience.” Laitman has set the words of classical and contemporary poets in the composition of

two operas, an oratorio and more than 200 songs. Since launching her career in 1991, Laitman’s music has been performed frequently in the United States and abroad. “I am always delighted when my music is discovered,” said Laitman. “It is an honor to have a program at Utah State focus exclusively on my work.” Tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in Room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, online at arts.usu.edu and by calling 435-797-8022.

at Sky View, said the school was awarded $2,500 and 15 tickets to the Broadway Across America “Beauty and the Beast” production at The Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City. On Tuesday, a group of Sky View students and directors from their show took a bus to the KUTV news station to be filmed in the live segment. Then they went to the show at Capitol Theatre that evening.

Wharton said the prize money will be used to take all the students who acted in “Beauty and the Beast” to “Father of the Bride” at Hale Centre Theatre in May. Melinda Potts, who played the wardrobe in the Sky View play, said she felt they won because they did the whole show, had the entire cast and pretty elaborate costumes. “We were head and shoulders above them,” she said.

years later, it celebrated its first important milestone: after

3,358 performances, “Cats” became the longest running

musical in the history of British theatre. “Cats” played its final performance on its 21st birthday, May 11, 2002. “Cats” opened on Broadway on Oct. 7, 1982, at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City and continued to live up to its motto “Now and Forever.” On June 19, 1997, it became the longest running musical on Broadway. “Cats” ended its 18-year run Sept. 10, 2000, with 7,485 performances. Based on T.S. Eliot’s “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,” and with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, “Cats” won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes. In October of 1991, “Cats” became the longest continuously touring show in American theater history. Five continents, 26 countries and more than eight and a half million audience members later, “Cats” is still America’s most-loved family musical.

‘John Carter’

generated blippery converted to 3-D. It's the unfortunate film that's loaded with exposition and yet still ends up being massively confusing. It probably will also seem rather derivative, but that's because the source material, Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic pulp tale "A Princess of Mars," has been so influential on pop culture in general and science fiction specifically for the past century. Glimmers of "Star Wars," ''Superman" and "Avatar" are evident, but the uninitiated may still find it impenetrable. "Friday Night Lights" star Taylor Kitsch plays the title character, a Civil War veteran who's suddenly transported to Mars (or Barsoom, as it's known here) and finds himself in the midst of a different kind of civil war as well as an interplanetary romance. Lynn Collins, Ciaran Hinds, Willem Dafoe and Mark Strong co-star. 131 minutes. —Review by The Associated Press

Director // Andrew Stanton Starring // Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins and Willem Dafoe Rated // PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action

Ice Cube is shown in a scene from “21 Jump Street.” The TV show that made Johnny Depp a star is little more than a jumping-off point for this rowdy, raunchy big-screen update that aims for laughs over action and delivers them intermittently. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are surprisingly amusing together as newbie cops sent undercover as high school kids to root out a drug ring. Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller take everything — the car chases, the shootouts, the teen kegger, the goofy idiocy of the characters — to the extreme. —Review by The Associated Press

But that’s up to the parents to decide. “The Hunger Games” does achieve a great amount of entertainment.

Yes, there is life on Mars, and it's deadly dull. These are not words you would expect to use in describing a film from Andrew Stanton, director of the Oscar-winning Pixar favorites "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E," who's making his live-action debut. And yet there they are, and they're inescapable. Except for a strong cast, a few striking visuals and some unexpected flashes of humor, "John Carter" is just a dreary, convoluted trudge — a soulless sprawl of computer-

Center: Finn Brewer (right) prepares his ceramic dishes to be glazed during the final children’s ceramics course March 8. Right: Instructor Beth Calengor (left) works with student Addy Russell during class.

Students of all ages create art using clay, wheels and kilns

t may be the only community art class where students learn to pinch, stretch, spin and throw. In the Cache Valley Center for the Arts ceramics classes, participants employ all of the above techniques to turn unassuming lumps of clay into works of art. “There’s something that happens, you have a blob of clay, a piece of clay, and really it’s from the earth — you know, it’s clay — and all of a sudden, it can be something,” said CVCA ceramics director Beth Calengor about the process. “I love clay and I love showing people how to work with it.” Calengor estimates she has been teaching ceramics for CVCA, previously the Alliance for the Varied Arts, for at least 15 years. She holds a master’s degree in ceramics from Utah State University, where she specialized in altered and decorated porcelain bowls. She sold her work at fairs for a while, but she said teaching ceramics is “her dream job.” “(Being with CVCA) gives me a chance to do pot-

tery, and be not only making my own things, but teaching,” Calengor said. “It’s really a pleasure, honestly. I just love pottery and it’s really great to be able to have a studio to make things in, for all of us.” Pottery did not always come easy for Calengor, however. She said her first experience with the craft was a ceramics class she took as part of her bachelor’s in fine arts at Michigan University, where she studied painting. She said it was a lot harder than she had anticipated. “I had this idea that I should be able to do it, you know, right away, and I was not a natural. I was like, I’ll never do pottery again if I can just get out of this class,” Calengor said with a laugh. Later, Calengor moved to Salt Lake City and began taking ceramics classes at the Art Barn. This time, she fell in love with the art form. “I figured out how to throw (on a pottery wheel) and I found I really loved it,” Calengor said. “I just kept doing more and more and more and more, and bought

a wheel, and bought a kiln, and then went to graduate school for it, then came here (to CVCA).” “Never say never, because that means that you will end up doing it,” she added with a smile. While Calengor said some people pick up it right away without difficulty, some of her students expressed a similarly frustrating experience when they first tried making ceramics. Wells Martineau, an 18-year-old student in Calengor’s teen class, said when he first tried his hand at a pottery wheel, he couldn’t quite get the clay centered and it just turned into a messy lump. Now, he makes meticulously formed plates, bowls, cups and flasks, which he and his family use for medieval reenactments. He said now that he has the basics down, he turns his attention to the details, and there is always something to learn and to improve upon. Another of Calengor’s students, 66-year-old Marlene Conner, said part of the excitement of producing pottery

is never knowing what to expect when her pieces come out of the kiln. “Quite frankly, you’ll get big surprises — and sometimes they’re happy ones, sometimes they’re not,” Conner said. “But it’s always exciting to see what comes out, and you learn something every time.” Conner said she loves to make mugs, and lately, teapots. Community ceramics classes are divided by age into children’s, preteen, teen and adult classes, not by level of experience. That means there are people of all ability levels in each class, Calengor said, from those who have never tried pottery before to those who have done it for years and are looking to further hone their skills. She said that gives each class a good dynamic – where those with more experience can offer their help and advice to those who are just beginning. Calengor said while the children’s classes are more structured, the teens and adults can choose for them-

selves what they would like to work on during the class, and Calengor offers individualized help and instruction. Participants pay for the five- or 10-week sessions, and while the children’s classes include a lab fee for materials, the teens and adults buy clay separately for each piece they make. The price of glazing and firing is also included in the price of the clay, Calengor said. Each piece of artwork is fired twice — once to harden the clay, and once to set the glaze, which is the glassy, colorful finish applied to the outside of the artwork. In addition to teaching some classes, Calengor’s son, Daniel Bialkowski, operates the kiln located outside behind the Bullen Center in downtown Logan. He said the process of heating the kiln to the 2,347 degrees Fahrenheit required to turn the glaze into glass, controlling the oxygen levels in the kiln to get the chemical reactions just right and making sure everything goes smoothly takes about eight to 10 hours on average, and Bialkowski is there the whole time to control the pro-

cess. Ceramics students get to have their work fired at the end of each five-week session, and twice during the 10-week sessions. That way, Calengor said, by the time they are halfway through the 10-week course, they have seen the entire process and have a better idea what works, and what they would like to do during the next five weeks. The spring 10-week session began Monday, and Calengor said classes do not usually fill up until the second week of classes. Participants can register at any time during the 10 weeks, she said, or sign up for five weeks only. If students register late, she said class prices are then adjusted accordingly.

Books Manti author includes Logan in fantasy novel By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

When Carol Hansen decided to write a fantasy novel about a young English boy who learns he’s supposed to be a wizard, she knew she needed a magical place she could envision and write about. Hansen, of Manti, became familiar with the Logan area after her daughter moved and attended school at Utah State University. They would have picnics at Second Dam and hike to the Wind Caves together. The mountain-surrounded valley seemed magical and mystical to Hansen, so she included it in her novel “DarkStar,” which was self-published through Amazon about a year ago and is now available at Hastings and The Book Table. “DarkStar” tells the story of 17-year-old Alec, who is

reluctantly thrown into a magical world he doesn’t want to be a part of. Angry at the idea of his future, he is sent to live with his uncle, who happens to live in Logan. There, he meets 16-year-old Amrie, who is fascinated with his British background. As Alec struggles with his powers and a rivalry with his brother Ayden, romance begins. There are several familiar Cache Valley-area scenes in the book including Second Dam in Logan Canyon and Bear Lake. Hansen said many of her experiences with her daughter, such as picnics and hikes, inspired events in “DarkStar.” It took Hansen about five years before she published her book. She first tried finding an agent and publisher, but after a very long process of rejection, and then finally receiving a cou-

ple contracts she did not agree to, Hansen decided that wasn’t the route she wanted to go. Now that her book is available online and in local bookstores, she’s figuring out creative ways to get her name out. She found Matt Lande, a musician in L.A., and asked

Travel writer details saga of youth outlaw By Jerry Harkavy Associated Press

It’s not often that a travel and adventure writer who hopscotches the globe for good stories stumbles upon a riveting tale on his own doorstep, especially when he lives on a sparsely populated island in the far reaches of Washington state’s Puget Sound. But when teenage outlaw Colton Harris-Moore, whose thievery ranged from Snickers bars and frozen pizzas to expensive boats and planes, unleashed his “wily one-kid crime wave” on Orcas Island, it would have been impossible for a writer like Friel not to realize that a worldclass story had landed in his lap. Harris-Moore was captured in the Bahamas after nearly two years on the lam, and his saga ended early this year when a federal judge in Seattle sen-

tenced him to 6 1/2 years in prison. But the public’s fascination with the outlaw who was dubbed “the Barefoot Bandit” is sure to continue, fueled by Friel’s book and a planned Hollywood movie. The reader is introduced to the 17-year-old protagonist dur-

ing his white-knuckle flight in a stolen Cessna 182 over the jagged peaks of the Cascades while knocked about by 60 mph winds and sought by law enforcement. Being alone in the cockpit and lacking any official flight training add to the sense of adventure. He survived that and other brushes with mortality recounted by Friel, who chronicles the string of Northwest larcenies and incarcerations that culminated in a cross-country run and Harris-Moore’s capture at sea. Even as he becomes the object of a nationwide manhunt, the gangly 6-foot-5 youth comes across as more Huck Finn than John Dillinger. Harris-Moore’s brazen burglaries at houses, airplane hangars and marinas, usually carried out while shoeless, outwitted police and won him the support of countless fans.

if he would be interested in writing a song for her book. He agreed, read the book, but instead of writing one song, he wrote three which will be released on his next CD. This summer, Hansen is hoping to record music videos in Logan using Lande’s songs so she can put them on YouTube and other websites in an effort to promote her book. Eventually Lande and Hansen plan to organize “DarkStar” concerts; the first one is tentatively planned for this fall in Ephraim at Snow College. Currently Hansen is working

on getting funding to film the videos. She’s placed information on www.kickstarter.com which helps fund creative projects. She needs to raise $5,000 by March 29 to get funding from Kickstarter. As of Thursday, she and Lande had only raised about half the amount. Hansen is also working on her second book which will follow “DarkStar.” She plans to write an entire trilogy involving Alec and his wizarding world. For more information about “DarkStar,” look on Amazon or CreateSpace online.
