FROM THE EDITOR An acquaintance of mine from long ago absolutely loved two things: movies and baseball. But for some bizarre reason, he absolutely despised all baseball movies. I didn’t understand that at the time. And I still don’t. Sure, there are some very bad baseball movies. “The Scout” immediately comes to mind because we’re supposed to believe that Brendan Fraser manages to strike out 27 batters on 81 pitches in the World Series and hits two home runs in a 2-0 vic-
tory. Seriously? But there are some great baseball films out there, and in the spirit of Opening Day next week, here are some of my personal favorites in no particular order: • “Field of Dreams” — It’s really not going to work for you unless you feel like America, baseball and religion are all somehow intertwined. • “Pride of the Yankees” — Tearjerker starring Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig has to be the first classic baseball film. • “Major League” — Bob Uecker’s lines will live forever, and apparently so will Charlie Sheen’s attempts to live up to the nickname of his “Wild Thing” character.
• “The Natural” — The soundtrack alone makes this worth watching. • “Eight Men Out” — Some of the best baseball ever played in a movie. • “A League of Their Own” — Jon Lovitz is hilarious, and Tom Hanks delivered the immortal: “There’s no crying in baseball.” • “Bull Durham” — I grew up in a town with minor league baseball ... and I had no idea what really goes on in minor league baseball. • “The Sandlot” —This is the baseball movie you can’t wait to show your kids when they get old enough.

‘Ballerina Boots’ hits home Local artist and author takes aim at acceptance

PET OF THE WEEK
I hope some day my boots won’t scare them anymore. Until then, I will keep going and try my best. At least I can finally walk in shoes that feel good. The ballerina in the book is never given a name, making it easier for the reader to put herself or himself in the place of the little dancer who finds that she prefers to perform in big boots rather than “squishy satin slippers” — a comfortable concept for the small girl that the majority of the “tall people” simply refuse to acknowledge as being acceptable. Illustrated and written by first-time author Whitney Ferwerda, “Ballerina Boots” is a children’s book created to present a universal message to people of all ages. “I think it’s important that everybody knows they are special and important, and it’s OK to be just the way you are — quirks and all — and that life is about your best you, not trying to fit into someone else’s mold,” Ferwerda explains. “Our diversity is a beautiful thing that allows us to learn and adapt and see new perspectives.”
“It’s an entire alien invasion conducted by an alien force whose best offense is encircling a human hoping they don’t run away.”
Available for adoption

Whitney Ferwerda wrote and illustrated the children’s book “Ballerina Boots.”
“The challenge comes in how we deal with those differences,” the 26-year-old continues. “Are we asking ourselves: Am I putting up walls or excluding by making the argument that I’m right and you’re wrong? Or am I willing to listen and learn, and looking for common ground that opens up new dialogue and relationships? Is my focus my own ideologies, or what allows us to move forward together in a positive direction?
“Whether we come out on the same page or not, I would challenge everyone, myself included, to make the focus about being in fellowship with those around us, appreciating each other no matter our differences.” Ferwerda describes herself as “pretty much a Cache Valley native,” having moved her from Seattle when she was 9 years old. She attended Logan High School, where she was heavily involved in
art, music and theater, and graduated from Utah State University in 2010 in interdisciplinary studies, essentially ending up with double majors in art and women in gender studies. As part of her final project, Ferwerda was required to combine her two pursuits under the guidance of her professor, Brenda Cooper, and came up with the concept of a ballerina See BOOTS on Page 11
Pet: Jerry From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Jerry is a quiet, gentle cat who would love to be in a one-cat household (although his recent foster home has other cats and dogs, and he has been doing very well). He will watch you and want to be nearby until he has adjusted to being in a new home. Jerry is not crazy about most treats, but will eat Greenies. Once he has warmed up to his new family, you will find him wanting to sit next to you to watch TV, or lay on your feet when you sleep. If you would like to meet Jerry, please call Sheri at 787-1751. The adoption fee for this cat is $75, which covers his neuter surgery and up-to-date vaccinations.

all mixed up USU delivers Austen’s ‘Emma’ Chamber concert
Performances of Jane Austen’s famous story of misinterpreted romance “Emma” will continue at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 29, and Saturday, March 30, in the Morgan Theatre in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Utah State University campus. Presented by USU’s Department of Theatre Arts, there will also be a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $13 adults, $10 seniors and youth, $8 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For tickets and more information, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B in the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu. “‘Emma’ is almost 200 years old but is still so relevant today,” Jackson says. “It’s a terrific story full of the crazy mistakes, love triangles and misunderstandings we all experience when love is in the air.”
Young, headstrong Emma Woodhouse believes she has a special talent for matchmaking, but where the affections of others and her own heart are concerned she is charmingly clueless.

slated for Thursday
Utah State University’s Department of Music presents the Caine Chamber Ensembles at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4, in the USU Performance Hall. The performance is free and open to the public. “Chamber performance is much more difficult as there are fewer players and a much higher degree of accountability from each member,” says Max Matzen, assistant professor of trumpet in the Caine College of the Arts. “I always think these chamber performances are a very clear indicator of what our students are capable of.” The performance is an annual spring concert, featuring the Caine Brass Quintet, Caine Horn Quartet, Caine Percussion Ensemble, Caine Saxophone Quartet and Caine Woodwind Quintet. The music of 20th century composers, includKayli Jackson, left, and Gordon Dunn star in USU’s production of “Emma.” ing Astor Piazzolla, Ivan Trevino and Alfred Reed, will be performed.

Utah State University faculty, staff and students join members of the American Festival Chorus and a number of early music specialists to present Bach’s “B Minor Mass” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 30, in the USU Performance Hall. “Of all the many compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, the ‘B Minor Mass’ represents a combination of his musical genius and a statement of his devout Christian faith,” says Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts and
conductor of the performance. “To bring this great musical creation to USU and to the citizens of this region is a great honor.” Johann Sebastian Bach compiled the “B Minor Mass” in the final years of his life. Many of the sections in the mass come from Bach’s residence in Leipzig where he lived for almost 30 years, serving as the city’s director of choir and music. “Reworking many earlier compositions to create ‘B Minor Mass,’ Bach took the best examples from
his compositional career and combined them into a work that stands as a monument to his skill and, perhaps, to his conception of the divine,” says Christopher Scheer, assistant professor of musicology in the Department of Music. The work is a full Catholic mass, divided into four sections — first, “Kyrie and Gloria”; second, “Symbolum Nicenum” or “Credo”; third, “Sanctus”; and fourth, “Osanna, Benedictus and Agnus
Artist Cup at Mtn. Crest
The Young Artist Cup Committee, in association with Mountain Crest High School’s Performing Arts Department, will present the 14th annual Young Artist Cup Competition at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 11, and Friday, April 12, in the school auditorium. The piano performances will be Thursday evening and the vocal and instrumental performances will be Friday evening. Admission is free and everyone is invited. This annual event showcases the musical talents of Mountain Crest students. Students compete for cash prizes and trophies in six areas: graphic arts design, female vocalist, male vocalist, strings, See BACH on Page 10 brass/winds/percussion and piano. Awards will be given to first-, second-, and third-place winners in each category. As in year’s past, the logo for this year’s Young Artist Cup was selected from submissions by students in a competition held earlier in the year. The design by Noelle Baer of Providence was chosen to represent the 2013 Young Artist Cup. Baer will receive a trophy and cash prize for her work.
Lewis coming to Logan
Folk singer will perform April 6 The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with singer-songwriter Bernice Lewis at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, 291 S. 300 West. Tickets are $13 and are available via PayPal at www.bridgerfolk.org, by calling 757-3468, or you take your chances at the door. Seating is limited, so advance purchase is recommended. With three decades of performing festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, colleges, and house concerts, along with a half dozen acclaimed CDs, Bernice Lewis has built a solid national fan base. She is also a published poet, a producer and an educator extraordinaire. Lewis — who studied vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin, guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser, and songwriting with Rosanne Cash and Cris Williamson — has been a featured performer on NPR’s Mountain Stage program, as well as at the Kennedy Center. “For me, it’s about the songs, each different, each a well thought out message, each a labor of love,” Lewis says. Her most recent CD “She Undoes” was recorded in Nashville and produced by Grammy Award winner Charlie Chadwick. It features a duet with fellow singer-songwriter Cliff Eberhardt and a jazzy a cappella version of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” in addition to a collection of originals.
Saturdays at the Museum
Explore weaving traditions from around the world at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” event at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology. Activities are March 30 at the museum. Patrons are invited to join the museum as it unveils its recently updated “Traditional Weaving” teaching trunk. Visitors can also tour the museum’s Peruvian and Navajo textile exhibits and participate in activities that include weaving on miniature looms and creating quilt designs with crayons and markers. “Weaving and quilting function simultaneously as art and examples of material culture,” says Randi Martin, a museum assistant. “Different cultures have varying patterns, styles and methods of weaving and quilting. Every textile tells a story.” The USU Museum of Anthropology can be found on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, room 252. Admission is free. For more information visit anthromuseum.usu.edu.

Still playing What should be a hilarious, long-overdue pairing of two hugely likable, superstar comedians ends up being a major disappointment. As much film and television work as they do individually, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd surprisingly never have worked together. In theory, her smart, zingy persona should mesh beautifully with his easygoing goofiness — or their shared dynamic should bounce, or snap, or have some sort of life to it. Instead, Paul Weitz’s direction of Karen Croner’s script is tonally erratic: too fast in spots and too much of a slog in others. It certainly doesn’t help that the characters feel like types without much nuance. Even reliable comic veterans like Fey and Rudd can’t find much that’s new or fresh in these people, and as a result they have zero chemistry with each other. Fey, as a Princeton University admissions officer, is always uptight, precise and emotionally closed-off. Rudd, as

the do-gooder founder of an alternative New England high school, is always free-spirited, adventurous and open-minded. Even in the fantasy world of romantic comedies where opposites attract and sparks fly, these two have no business being together. Nat Wolff plays the odd, brilliant student who may be the son Fey’s character put up for adoption as a newborn and Lily Tomlin provides the film’s few moments of joy as Fey’s maverick feminist mother. 100 minutes. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic
If a big, dumb action movie knows it’s a big, dumb action movie and revels in that fact, is that preferable to a big, dumb action movie making the mistake of thinking it’s significant, relevant art? That’s the question to ponder here — if you can think straight and your ears aren’t ringing too badly. This sequel of sorts to the 2009 blockbuster “G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra” seems to have some cheeky fun with itself, from Bruce Willis cheerily revealing the arsenal he’s hiding in his quiet suburban home to RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan essentially showing up and playing himself. A major city is obliterated with the touch of a button and several others are in peril as the world hinges on nuclear destruction in what amounts to a hammy game of chicken. Nothing matters really. This is a movie based on a Hasbro toy, after all — it’s all spectacle and bombast. But at least “G.I. Joe” is aware of its vapidity compared to, say, last week’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” in

Film based on novel by ‘Twilight’ author fails to connect
Aaron Peck
Alien invasion movies are rarely defining cinematic experiences. More often than not they’re excuses for big-budget computer animation to run rampant while explosions destroy famous earthling landmarks. While those kinds of alien movies are usually pretty dumb, some of them can be quite fun. Then you have “The Host,” based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer, which is dumber on a completely different scale. This is a phony love story wrapped up in an even phonier science fiction flick. Aliens have invaded earth. They take over bodies “Body Snatchers” style. Yet, one wonders how an alien race, which is described as supremely benevolent, takes over an entire species like humans. What do they gain? See, these aliens, whom appear to be large glowing amoebas, don’t use any kind of weaponry. Yet somehow they’ve been able to almost completely take control of every human body. And once they’re in control of a human’s body, they never pick up a gun. They never act violently. They simply surround other humans hoping to grab them. It’s an entire alien invasion conducted by an alien force whose best

Oh, and all of the alien-infused bodies dress in all white because it looks oh-so-futuristic. “The Host” is an absolute chore of a movie to endure. It’s lifeless on every front. Even with a crowd full of Meyer fans, the screening was filled with awkward laughter during moments that pletely dead. The life were supposed to be form, which calls itself dead serious.

The Best of the Fi
SECOND ANNUAL LOGAN EVENT SHOWCASES 48 DIFFERENT FEAT
F
or those interested in movies and filmmaking, last weekend was a full smorgasbord of events in downtown Logan. The second annual Logan Film Festival wrapped up Saturday night with films at the Dansante Building and the Caine-Lyric Theatre. Those two sites were busy as 48 dramatic, animated and documentary films were screened. A year ago the LFF was a twoday event; this year it encompassed three days. There is hope the event will continue to grow and in the future perhaps be a five-day festival like other regional events. “The energy is a lot higher this year than last,” said Gary Saxton, who is with the Downtown Alliance and in charge of the Logan Film Festival. “The attendance appears to be about double from what it was last year. Film submissions were a little more than double too. ... Everything seems to be what it was last year and a notch higher.” Another noticeable difference from a year ago was the quality of the films submitted. Saxton called the entries “significantly better.” “We hope to make it a better experience for the filmmakers and the audience,” Saxton said. “I think that this festival is phenomenal,” said Erik Bateman, a local filmmaker. “The art scene that already exists here is only going to be enhanced by having a film festi-
val here. ... We have the opera and theater here. This is just another element that has been missing and in time could be a real treasure.” In the future, using the Utah Theatre after it is renovated would be part of the plan. If the festival grows, the Ellen Eccles Theatre could be a possible option as well. “These are great buildings,” Saxton said. “People who are visiting Logan, they love these old theaters. It’s a treat to have these.” One of the biggest goals of the organizers is to expose filmmakers to Cache Valley. The Utah Film Commission promotes the Beehive state, which does well, but mostly in southern Utah. The Northern Utah Film Commission is trying to entice more movies being made in this part of the state. “For the longest time I have told everyone that I know that I think there is so much potential in Cache Valley and Logan that is not being tapped,” Bateman said. “Bringing filmmakers here to see that, I think will only end up doing good things for the valley and community. ... There’s such tremendous talent here in Cache Valley. The more we can shine, the more people will recognize this is an untapped resource. I hope I represent the area well.” Tyler Woodbury, who was involved with the festival and part of a submitted film, agreed with Bateman. “We know there is a lot of film

Before it was screened, he said it was a bit nerveracking and exciting at the same time. The film had been screened back in November. “It’s amazing to watch this thing in your head come to life,” Bateman said during a question-and-answer session following the screening of his film. The film took three years to complete.
“You want everyone to see that creation of yours and see how they respond,” Bateman said. “It’s a lot of fun and mixed emotions. ... And it’s fun to share it with other people. I figure, at the very least, it will be worth a good laugh.” Woodbury has been part of two documentaries via a program called Arts Bridge through Utah State University. The latest was screened at the LFF. “Hillcrest Elementary: 50 years” was chosen as the winner for short documentary. Woodbury accepted the award, but said there were others that took part in the project, including co-director Amanda Beutler. “I didn’t know if it would even play when I entered it, because

TURES AND DOCUMENTARIES maybe there would be better entries,” Woodbury said. “For it to not only be accepted, but then the judges picked it, and the judges didn’t know it was my project, it was great.” One feature the LFF had this year to let people know about opportunities around the valley was the Cache Valley FAM Tour. Despite it being snowy last Friday, filmmakers were taken by shuttle to some of Cache Valley’s best film destinations around Logan and in the county. “We really want filmmakers to film in Logan, because of the economic impact it can have on our community,” Saxton said. “We need to develop that relationship with filmmakers and the Utah Film Commission so when filmmakers are thinking of Utah, we need to go check out Cache Valley. Everyone checks out Moab. We’ve got some great scenery here.” During the awards ceremony Friday night, Saxton told the gathering he would really like to see filmmaking happen in Cache Valley. There are getting to be more filmmakers around the valley as well. “There is kind of an emerging scene here, in my opinion,” Bateman said. “The university has had a group for a while, but at the same time ... it seems like the family is growing. It’s seems to be getting bigger all the time.” Bateman hopes young film-
makers will be inspired after attending the festival. He said the biggest hurdle is usually “yourself.” There were also lectures and workshops during the festival. “We had a gentleman here that won an Oscar (Jeff Consiglio for editing),” Bateman said. “We got to rub shoulders and got his insight. This is an invaluable resource for both the emerging filmmaker and the community.” The 48 films at the festival covered a variety of subjects and genres, including drama, comedy, history, social justice, health awareness, youth, family, arts and culture. There were local filmmakers from the valley, as well as many from throughout the state of Utah. Saxton said there was great response from California, Texas, New York and Illinois. “It’s getting to be legitimate enough for them (filmmakers) to say we should support our film, because some of them are world premieres and they only premiere once,” Saxton said. “We hope the Cache Valley citizens take advantage, because some of these films you may never see again.” The 2013 LFF was dedicated to Alan Hashimoto, who passed away recently. The USU professor played a big role in helping it get started. A standing ovation was given in Hashimoto’s memory during the awards ceremony.
Winning submissions to the 2013 Logan Film Festival included “Alguém Qualquer (Anyone Out There)’’ (top), “Born & Raised” (center) and “Shoot the Moon (above).

Emma Continued from Page 4 the dedicated cast, this show is one not to be missed.” Austen’s novel has been adapted for the stage by Jon Jory, a theatrical director, playwright and New York Theatre Hall of Fame inductee.

Bach Continued from Page 5 Dei.” Bach composed the sections at different times, beginning with the “Sanctus” section in 1724 and finishing with the “Credo” in the 1740s. “Bach’s ‘B Minor Mass’ is largely considered to be one of the greatest works of the western canon,” says Rebecca McFaul, violinist in the Fry Street Quartet and string faculty member in the Department of Music. “It is not often performed and was never performed in Bach’s lifetime, though it firmly holds its place as his Magnum Opus. It is our great privilege to prepare and give a performance of this work and to have focused this spring semester’s Collegium Musicum course largely on the topic of Bach’s masterpiece.” The Collegium Musicum course, taught by Scheer, McFaul and Robert Waters of the Fry Street Quartet, focuses on challenging students’ conceptions of early
of New American Plays. Set in the Regency era of England, the show requires British accents and mannerisms, multiple costumes and multiple sets. Female cast members wear corsets, an essential piece of women’s wardrobes in the time period. “I’m getting used to the corset, but I don’t know how women dealt with it back then,” says Kayli Jackson, a junior majoring in theatre performance who plays Emma. Emma Woodhouse is a congenial young lady who delights in med-
dling in other people’s affairs. She is perpetually trying to unite those who are utterly wrong for each other, but despite her interest in romance, Emma is clueless about her own feelings and relationship with the gentle Mr. Knightly. “Mr. Knightly has been Emma’s closest friend growing up and throughout the play he realizes he is in love with her,” says Gordon Dunn, a senior majoring in theater performance who plays Mr. Knightly. “Neither one of them can see it and miscommunication abounds in this show, but in the end everything turns music, or works written out. If you’re a sucker for before 1750. Students in romance and enjoy watching people act ridiculous the class have worked with early music special- because of misinformation, this is the show to see.” ists to see firsthand the challenges musicians face when performing music from this period, Scheer says.

Books Haynes’ new ‘Ice Cold Kill’ is a hot thriller
By Jeff Ayers Associated Press
Dana Haynes departs from his previous thrillers involving the aeronautics industry and takes on the alphabet agencies in “Ice Cold Kill,” a surprising and intriguing page turner. Daria Gibron, a minor character in both “Crashers” and “Breaking Point,” takes center stage in this new novel. The former Shin-Bet agent now works as an interpreter, but when her old handler arranges to meet her at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, she drops everything to see him. When she lands in New York, a coded message warns her of a trap. It turns out that her former
handler has been murdered, and she’s been linked to a much sought-after terrorist. She cleverly manipulates the situation to her advantage and puts her pursuers on the defensive. Knowing that she’s been burned, Gibron must use all her resources without help from her former allies. Shockingly, her best bet lies in teaming up with the terrorist to stop the real enemy. Together they learn the target on their backs is a distraction from the real operation that involves a deadly virus that’s been genetically modified to kill select individuals. Can they stop the plot in time? The bullets fly and the action never stops in “Ice Cold Kill,” Haynes’ best book yet.
