From the editor his has been one of those T weeks I was reminded to appreciate the little things. Last Wednesday evening I was driving around Logan, the cool breeze coming in my windows and the stars right above my head. I know this is cheesy, but in that moment I felt really lucky to be free to do the things I wanted, and to live in a beautiful valley. I tend to think about the purpose of life a lot, and often times my answer changes. But sometimes I think one of the main reasons why we are here is just to enjoy ourselves and the things we are surrounded with. Those things may be as simple as a night sky or the open air on an early spring night. Or they may be the moments we notice the mountains have

turned green again and are ready for hiking. I never get sick of living in this place thanks to the sunsets, the summers, the stars. In a couple of weeks the Cache Valley Center of the Arts will be celebrating Earth Day by combining local art and musicians into a downtown Logan event. Officially Earth Day is on April 22 and while this day often goes by without me thinking a lot about it, I think this year I will plan on doing something to celebrate it. Several of the people participating are using recycled items to create music, art and even fashion projects. It’s amazing what people can create from simple objects in front of them, some imagination, or perhaps a little rhythm. Whenever I feel like this, I always hope that it lasts — that I can remember to think of the little things. — Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

This dog is available for adoption! Pet: Billy From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: Billy, a

Labrador Retriever/Border Collie mix, has been with us at the shelter for three months. He is a big teddy bear that loves people. Billy is a 1-year-old, and great with children and other animals. Billy has become a true favorite of the shelter staff and volunteers that come to spend time with him. He is a fairly quiet dog. He is already neutered, which means his adoption fees are much less.

Family presents afternoon of magic and music

he Hatch Academy of Magic and Music presents “Matinée Enchantée,” an enchanted afternoon of magic and music in the historic Thatcher-Young Mansion on April 9 at 2 p.m. Deceptionist Richard Hatch and violinist Rosemary Hatch, co-owners of the Hatch Academy, will be joined by their son, pianist Jonathan Hatch in a 75-minute program featuring the music of Béla Bartók, Camille SaintSaëns, Johann Sebastian Bach and Fritz Kreisler and magic created by Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser, Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin, Dai Vernon and Punx, among others. A unique feature of the program is the ensemble aspect with magic and music performed simultaneously. While the performance includes numerous magical and musical solos, it is the ensemble pieces, with the magic choreographed to the music, that give this program

its special character. Richard Hatch holds two graduate degrees in physics from Yale University, but finds it easier apparently to violate the laws of nature than to discover them. A childhood interest in magic became a lifelong obsession after he met and was encouraged by the German magician Fredo Raxon in 1970. Richard has been a full-time professional “deceptionist” since 1983. Rosemary Kimura Hatch received her master’s degree from Yale School of Music and her bachelor’s degree with performer’s certificate from Eastman School of Music. She has performed with the New Haven, Hartford, San Antonio and Houston symphonies and with the Houston Grand Opera. Jonathan Hatch studied piano at St. Thomas University in Houston, Texas, and at the University of Texas in Austin. He is currently

studying piano privately while simultaneously pursuing studies to become a veterinary technician. In his spare time, he volunteers at the Cache Valley Humane Society. Richard said he and his wife first performed such a program at the Puppet House Theater in Stony Creek, Conn., in 1983. The matinées are currently scheduled for the second Saturday of each month at the Thatcher-Young Mansion, 35 W. 100 South in Logan. For these performances, the downstairs gallery space will be transformed into a 56-seat theater. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $7 for children under 12. Because there are only 56 seats are available, advance purchase is strongly advised to avoid disappointment. Tickets may be purchased online at the Hatch Academy website www. HatchAcademy.com or by calling 435-9320017.

All mixed up

Downtown Logan to celebrate Earth Day

he Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents the first Earth Day Downtown on Friday, April 22, from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on 100 South (between Main Street and the ThatcherYoung Mansion). The Earth Day Downtown Street Festival will include CVCA’s first public sculpture unveiling, entertainment, arts activities, food vendors, and booths for local environment and sustainability groups, Logan City, USU clubs, businesses, and more. The emphasis of this event is to inspire people to participate, no matter how big or small. In partnership with this event the Logan Downtown Alliance is celebrating Earth Day by staying open late. Enjoy Downtown “Alive after Five!” Earth Day provides an opportunity for us to embrace the world we live in and find out how we can serve as better stewards of the planet and its resources. As part of the festivities Jeff Keller with Sunrise Cyclery will provide a “Blip Pot” workshop that will inspire you to take your garden whereever you go. The USU Dress & Humanities Class, taught by Family and Consumer Sciences Education Assistant Professor Lindsey Shirley, will be showcasing recycled fashions. Logan High School Percussion Ensemble, under the direction of Chris Rasmussen, will be performing a “Trash Band” concert. Additional performances will be offered by various groups including: “The Gypsies Junk Jam,” a group of students and friends of Fast Forward High School. Under the direction of Todd Milovich, The Gypsies will be playing on a variety of found

objects. The evening will conclude with a community “junk” jam so be sure to bring something to play on or create your own “junk” inspired instrument. The arts are one way we can give back and provide a platform to inspire action, said Amanda Castillo, program CVCA program director. “This event is just one small opportunity to create dialog in the community and help us celebrate our journey in a fun interactive way,” she added. “If we all made a commitment to change or improving one green behavior, we would live in a very different world. That pile of junk may start to look like a mound of treasure if you are an artist or musician.” Many artists and musicians in Cache Valley are already creating music and art out of trash. The lifecycle of everyday products and the potential uses are endless. CVCA is “taking out the trash” by collecting a few items for future community art projects and art camp. If you have lids, caps, toilet paper rolls, 24-ounce soda bottles, CD-R’s, magazines, salt and cleanser containers, please stop by the Center. They would love to recycle your trash! This event is sponsored in part by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums in partnership with Logan City and the Logan Downtown Alliance. For details about Earth Day Downtown, call 435-752-0026 or come by the Cache Valley Center for the Arts located at 43 S. Main in Logan. You can also visit www. CacheArts.org. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

USU dance team to perform history of ballroom style

ome join the USU Ballroom Dance Team as they perform Ballroom Dance: Then and Now; The Classic and Contemporary, at the Ellen Eccles Theater, April 22-23. The team will take audiences through a historical journey of ballroom dance – to the ancient royal courts of Austria where ballroom dance first began, to the classic dances of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers as they graced the silver screen, all the way to the vivacious contemporary Latin dances of today. Ballroom Dance: Then and Now, features beautiful costumes and a variety of ballroom dances such as the Latin Samba of Brazil, the majestic slow Waltz of Vienna, the electric American Swing and many more.

2011 marks the 15-year anniversary of the USU Ballroom Dance Team. Over that span the team has performed for thousands of people. The current ballroom team has been busy performing across the United States. The hard work and attention to detail has garnered the team many awards at competitive events. For three years the team has been under the direction of Jeanne-Louise and Adam Shelton. Under the couples’ direction the team has achieved their highest competitive marks ever, placing second at nationals. Tickets for the April 22-23 show start at $12 with discounts for students. We ask patrons to be in their seats at 7:30 p.m.

Opera Guild organizes fundraiser

The UFO Opera Guild invites the public to attend their fundraiser evening April 16 at the Dansante, 59 S. 100 West, starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $65 per person and can be purchased now at the Dansante or can be reserved by calling 1-800-263-0074. The theme is South Pacific. Dress for the evening is also South Pacific and menu includes pork, fish, rice and island desserts. There will also be dancing and musical entertainment.

rittany Beecher, LindB sey Mickelsen and Erik “Riko” Wynn are USU students

and members of two dance companies on campus. Dance is their passion, all three say they have danced most of their lives, but they aren’t dance majors because no such major exists at Utah State University. Still, they and 29 others who share a love of dance, will be on stage this month for their yearending concert. The companies, Full Circle and Vilociti, perform Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the Chase Fine Arts Center’s Kent Concert Hall. Krissy Smith-Fry started the program at USU four years ago and now directs the two companies. “I was a dance major at another university and transferred to Utah State after my freshman year,” she said. “There was nothing here for students who wanted to continue to dance. I just decided to start a program. I do it to give students the opportunity to continue in their passion and to continue to grow not only as dancers but as students.” Smith-Fry said after she formed the dance company she started a push to encourage the school’s administration to reinstate dance as an academic program. “We use our dance companies to show not only the community but the university that dance is still very much a part of univer-

usicians at Mountain Crest High M School had the opportunity to show off their talents and compete in the 12th

sity life at Utah State.” She knows that should the USU administration decide to reinstate dance, it could be at least three years away. “I am really hopeful. Dr. (Craig) Jessop (Dean of the Caine School of the Arts) is really pushing for this program as is President Albrecht’s wife, Joyce. We are hoping within the next few years we can get the program reinstated.” Smith-Fry said the number of interested students grows each year with now 32 members in the two companies. Four performers dance in both companies. She said Full Circle is a modern or contemporary, jazz-based company including dancers who have a lot of technical training. “Vilociti is hip hop and break dance based, they are the more street style dancers.

“Both companies are extremely athletic. We had 75 students audition for Full Circle and there were 68 at the Vilociti audition,” she said. “There is high interest and that is very exciting for us.” Smith-Fry said this year’s concert theme is “Chromatics – Life in Color.” She said the idea is to depict the wide variety of ways we use color in everyday life. “We identify with colors as humans. For example some people identify with red as evil or as the color of love. We attempt in this show to have a wide variety of pieces that are really light and fun and happy and others that get the audience to feel something that they’re not really comfortable with.” Tickets are less expensive if purchased online (arts.usu.edu) or in advance at the Chase Fine Arts Center ticket office.

Film New this week “Arthur” Rated PG-13 ★★Another inferior, unnecessary remake, Russell Brand’s comedy at least is benign fluff that should please younger audiences unfamiliar with the 1981 comedy, even if purists who adore the original may hate this version. The movie is respectful of and faithful to Dudley Moore’s original — maybe too much so. The filmmakers tweak things to modernize the story and fit the persona of drunken, debauched, billionaire man-child onto Brand (not surprisingly, it’s no stretch for the British comic with the party-boy past). Yet the alterations are mostly cosmetic, including the big one, changing the sex of Arthur’s stern but loving guardian Hobson from a man (John Gielgud as Moore’s butler in the original) to a woman (Helen Mirren as Brand’s nanny). First-time director Jason Winer (TV’s “Modern Family”) stuffs this version with too many cute, cloying moments as Brand’s Arthur grows up while finding true love with a penniless tour guide (Greta Gerwig) and avoiding an arranged marriage with a corporate-climbing executive (Jennifer Garner). Considering the crudeness of many remakes, this could have turned out much worse. 110 minutes. “Soul Surfer” Rated PG ★1⁄2 Watching “Soul Surfer,” the story of Bethany Hamilton’s comeback after a shark attack, makes you long for a vivid documentary on the subject instead — preferably one of those excellent “30 for 30” offerings from ESPN.

promise a pretty standard action experience, but with one twist. The heroine is a young 16 year-old girl. The trailers are full of quicklycut high-flying action scenes. It’s sure to draw in a few action movie enthusiasts this Friday when it opens. I want to be there when those same people walk out of “Hanna” wondering to themselves what in the world they just sat through. “Hanna” is indeed full of some insanely choreographed action sequences, but the entire film is paced with a European feel to it. Much like “The American” was last year. Think of “Hanna” as “Salt” meets “The American” and you pretty much know what you’re in store for. Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) lives deep in the snowcapped Russian mountains where her father Erik (Eric Bana) has been training her for these past 16 years. He’s been grooming her to be a deadly assassin; to be a complete, ferocious fighting machine. Why’s he doing this? Well, it’s not really clear from the beginning. We’re simply observers, watching as Hanna undergoes rigorous training and studying, like it’s just part of her everyday routine. We soon learn that Erik has been in hiding for a while. He’s hiding from the CIA, specifically an operative in the CIA named Marissa (Cate Blanchett). Marissa is one of those CIA agents who doesn’t play by the rules. She enlists the help of nefarious

There are a few surprises later on that you’ll be glad I didn’t spoil. What I did want to talk about is why this movie is so different from any other movie you’ll see in wide release this year.

watching her interact with a completely foreign world. She meets a British family along the way, and learns about interaction. It’s really rare that you see a coming-of-age story mixed into an action film. It’s even more rare that it actually works. “Hanna” is a peculiar movie. One that has to be experienced. One that a simple review just can’t convey. It’s definitely a different kind of movie. Don’t you think that with summer of 2012 looming on the horizon with all those brain-dead superhero movies coming our way, that you owe it to yourself to check out something at the theater that’s completely original?

othing embodies the entrepreneurial spirit like a sick frontside 50-50, and there was plenty of both at the USU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council’s Rail Jam 2011 — a snowboard and ski trick competition held Tuesday in the Romney Stadium parking lot on a touring two-story-high snowboard rail apparatus. The attraction was the centerpiece of “E-Week” (Entrepreneur Week), which is put on by the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, but it’s difficult to say whether Rail Jam patrons came for the accompanying business expo and stayed for the Rail Jam, or vice versa. Regardless, a good time was had by all. “Their set is pretty sick, and everything’s pretty mellow,” said Spencer Olson of Salt Lake, one of the top boarders in the competition. “(I did) some front 50-50s, switch-up on the down, front lipslide, two sev-out and 360 and 180 off the little rocket slider. ... I wish I could do a couple more things. ... It’s good fun. I like it, good set-up. Fun to ride it.” Sporting a couple battle scars from a spill on one of his drops, Olson was awaiting the final round of competition, having moved on with a number of well-executed tricks. The IEC’s Rail Jam event was not only the second year in a row the tour had made its way to Logan, but it was also the ninth of 11 stops on

the Ford Campus Rail Jam Tour. The traveling crew, made up of snowboarders, has been out on the road in the late winter and early spring months for four years now. “It’s great. Besides setting up these events, we do a lot of snowboarding in different areas,” said Drew Diehl, of Pennsylvania, one of the founding members of the tour. “We do a lot of hiking, and a lot of going to different places — Trampoline Worlds, batting cages, roller rinks. We just try to have fun as much as possible. It’s great. I love it. It’s four years now, and I’ve been doing it every year and I can’t get away from it. “This is our last stop before we go back to Oregon for a month and a half. We have our finals in Portland, Ore. — downtown Pioneer Square. All the winners from the event top five from each category ... will go to Portland finals. The winners from this event will be invited to come to Portland finals. It’s on them to come, but there’s a $5,000 cash purse given away.” While it may seem like quite a task for the small crew to throw up the scaffolding that supports the rails, after enough times doing it and undoing it, Diehl has it down to a science. “This is my fourth year on tour. I’m the only remaining guy from the original year, so we have pretty much a whole new crew this year,” Diehl said. “... It’s not really that hard, as long as you know what you’re doing. It’s just basic scaffold-

ing.” Having drawn roughly 2,000 people to last year’s Rail Jam, the IEC decided to try it again for 2011. According to Brianne Petersen, a public relations student and vice president of events for the IEC, the hope is to make Rail Jam an annual event. “They had already done it last year, so we decided to make it an annual thing,” Petersen said. “... It has two purposes: one to have fun ... and two to give student businesses an opportunity to advertise for free. Any student business can have a booth here for free, with the hopes that a lot of people from the community and students will come and kinda see what’s going on and everything. ... We’re just letting student businesses ... get the word out to the community that we’re here to go big. Go big or go home.” As Petersen pointed out, Utah State has one of the best entrepreneurial programs in the country. So good, it’s starting to draw national attention. “We’re trying to promote entrepreneurship, obviously, and kind of showcase how good of an entrepreneurial program this school has, because it really is excellent,” Petersen said. “... I don’t know all the stats exactly, but I do know we’re one of the top in the nation. ... It was voted the most bang for your buck.” One student-run business that was at the expo was Rayne Clothing, out of Ogden. Having start-

ed just this past September, the maker of hats, beanies, shirts and hoodies for use in extreme sports was hoping to spread the word and get some exposure in Cache Valley. “We’re just trying to get our name out. We’ve been using Facebook a lot to who people who we are, but it’s great to get out to events like this,” said Jason Gardiner, a Weber State public relations major from Ogden, and one of the owners of Rayne. “... We have a great niche — we have a really cool logo and name. ... That right there gives someone an instant (recognition). They instantly like it. With that, all it is is getting the name out. ... We’d love for all of Northern Utah to know Rayne like any other brand they know; that they feel a part of Rayne because they’re from Utah. And then hopefully we’ll just continue to grow.” While profit is the sole objective for most businesses, Gardiner says Rayne is also about making a difference in the community and the world. “What we’d love to do is make enough profit to start making big organizations to start helping charities and different things so we can make a difference, especially in Northern Utah,” Gardiner said. “... Business is good. We’re really happy with it. Right now it’s self-sustaining, so we don’t have to put any more money into it. Our profit is helping us continue to buy clothing.”

the west coast. I was given a 2009 Debeque Gewürztraminer from Colorado near Grand Junction. This was an elegant, delicious wine with just the right amount of spicy flavor that denotes a gewürztraminer. To refresh my memory, I purchased the 2009 Willm Gewürztraminer at $14.99 from Alsace. On first tasting I found the Alsatian wine sweeter and heavier on the spiciness. After two days of drinking the Alsatian gewürz-

traminer I would say that I like both styles equally well. It would depend on the meal which one would be best. I found that there is a group of Gewürztraminers on one of the front panels of the store. The only one rated at 88 is the 2009 Chateau Ste. Michelle Gewürztraminer at $7.99. Their website gives all of details about balance including acidity, residual sugar and pH. Last month I recommended the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris at $11.99.

This Washington winery is producing some nice white wines at reasonable prices. Try a Gewurztraminer and you may be in for a pleasant surprise. The 2009 King Estates Pinot Gris at $15.95 (reduced price) is another beautiful example from Oregon. This is very dry and delicate wine with good balance as shown on their website. It has been some time since I visited blended red wines. At reduced prices are the 2008 Snapdragon Red at $6.99 and the 2008 Red Truck Red at $8.95. The Snapdragon is mainly Zinfandel and the Red Truck is a blend of five different grapes. Either should be good with a simple red meat meal. Two other red wines that have been recommended to me are the 2008 Seven Deadly Zins Zinfandel at $14.95 (reduced price), and the 2009 Di Majo Norante Sangiovese at $13.99. These are big wines with balance and flavor. The Di Majo Norante website gives details about making the wine. Last month I paid $11 for this wine, but I still think it has good value. I do not think the changes in the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will have much effect on our local store since the hours have already been reduced.

“The Three Musketeers” to play at USU he legendary T three musketeers and young Frenchman

d’Artagnan engage the Cache Valley community with a tale of treachery, heroism, close escapes and honor in “The Three Musketeers,” a stage production showing at Utah State University April 14-16 and 20-23. The work is presented by USU’s Theatre Arts Department in the Caine College of the Arts.

“The play guarantees a swashbuckling, melodramatic, comedic experience for the audience and provides our 19-person cast the opportunity to learn demanding new skills like 17th century court dances and formal sword fighting,” said Colin Johnson, interim department head for theatre arts and the show’s director. The theatre department employed Roger Dunbar,

a fight choreographer from Salt Lake City and USU alum, to train the cast in aspects of hand-tohand combat and sword fighting, Johnson said. A guest-artist grant from the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation – Russell Family made the professional training possible. In total, there are about 45 minutes of choreographed fight scenes throughout this actionpacked production, said

Ex-mayor offers insider’s account of city politics By The Associated Press

n the fall of 1974, a Imayor few days after he was elected of Providence, R.I.,

Buddy Cianci sipped beer with a few reporters and joked about the “Philistines” he had ousted from city hall. The denizens of the Democratic machine that had run the city for 30 years had trashed the place, he said, nailing wallboard over the historic building’s mahogany paneling and poking pencils through the eyes of the portraits of former mayors. His predecessors had left Providence in terrible shape. The city’s old industrial base had crumbled, its infrastructure was falling apart, its rivers were paved over with concrete, downtown storefronts were boarded up, its wealth of historical buildings were deteriorating, its tax base was imploding and the prevailing mood was despair. It was hard to find anyone but Buddy who thought the city had a future. But this young Republicanin-name-only (he later ran as an independent) had dreams of turning the city into a showplace. Today, Providence makes national magazines’ lists of the best places to live. It boasts of the biggest retail mall in New England, a revitalized downtown, winding rivers with gondolas and water taxis, restored historic buildings, a vibrant arts community and a remarkable assortment of great restaurants. While not all of this was realized during Cianci’s 21 years as mayor, even his detractors — and they are legion — acknowledge that he envisioned it and made much of it happen. But progress came at a cost. Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln C. Almond once claimed that the rebirth came

with a 30 percent corruption tax. And Cianci himself ended up spending nearly five years in a federal prison for running the city government as a criminal conspiracy. Cianci has already been the subject of one political biography: Mike Stanton’s bestselling “The Prince of Providence” focused on the dark side, recounting the charges against him. Now, in “Politics and Pasta,” Cianci has his say. His memoir is by turns insightful and evasive, serious and funny, selfdeprecatory and self-serving. He cops to none of the corruption accusations, writing that he was found not guilty of each specific criminal act, including soliciting bribes, that was brought against him. He never took a bribe — “not one cent,” he says — and maintains that he was unaware of the activities of other members of his administration who were convicted of doing so. His conspiracy conviction, he asserts, amounts to being found guilty of having served as mayor. Cianci pleads guilty only to playing ward-heeler politics: rewarding his allies with city jobs, using his power to settle political scores, and trading favors, such as planting trees,

fixing potholes and putting up photographer. He says he tried, traffic lights, to boost his popu- and failed, to get an Indian larity. casino in nearby Connecticut to After he won his first maypay the city $1 million a year oral election, Cianci writes, he in return for scuttling a Proviheld a fundraiser that brought dence casino he didn’t want in over $200,000 from donors built anyway. who “believed this was a vic“Sometimes,” he says, “every tory for good government or politician has to do the wrong people who wanted to do busithing to get the right thing ness with the city.

Today, Cianci is a radio talkshow host in Rhode Island, and he remains one of the state’s most popular, albeit controversial, figures. He slyly implies that his political enemies shake at the notion that he might, once again, run for mayor. “Politics and Pasta” is a compulsively readable — if not entirely candid — insider’s account of city politics by one of the most colorful and longest-serving mayors in memory. And it’s written by, as Cianci puts it, perhaps the only person who has ever been inside the White House, Windsor Castle and the federal penitentiary at Fort Dix in New Jersey. ___ Bruce DeSilva is the author of the crime novel “Rogue Island,” which has been nominated for the Edgar and Barry Awards.
