FROM THE EDITOR

f you’re bored this week, it’s because you choose to be. Putting Cache Magazine together the last few days has been a bit of a struggle as there are too many events to fit in 16 pages. I’m hoping everything is listed on the calendar on page 14, or that you’ll watch the Happenings in the features section on Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday for additional events. For those interested in the arts, there’s probably something for everyone. Since it’s the end of USU’s spring semester, the Performance Hall, Kent

Concert Hall and Morgan Theatre have been hosting various recitals and productions the last couple weeks. On page 5, you can read about more upcoming events including Kiger Hour, a percussion ensembles concert, a theater arts department play and the Logan Canyon Winds performance which celebrates the group’s 20th year together. For music lovers, check out page 4. Why Sound and Crumb Brothers are both hosting upcoming shows. And for those interested in magic, the Hatch family returns for their monthly show Saturday (page 6). If you haven’t been to one of these performances, give it a try. The Hatches provide a good mix of classical music with tricks that will

leave you guessing. For movie buffs, critic Aaron Peck says “The Cabin in the Woods” is a must-see (page 7). Apparently the less you know about it, the better, so if horror movies are your thing, go see the film before someone spoils it for you. Old Barn Theatre opens a new show tonight featuring a variety of Disney songs in “Remember the Magic.” Shows at the barn are always fun because the space is small and actors perform close to the audience on a round stage. And, of course, there is also the play featured as the cover story by Unicorn Theater. I hope you enjoy the arts this week! — Manette Newbold

Gallery Walk artists:

The artwork above will be on display in one of the Cache Valley Transit District’s buses during the Gallery Walk on Friday.

Join the Cache Valley Center for the Arts Downtown on Friday, April 13, from 6 to 9 p.m. for the CVCA Gallery Walk. This event provides art lovers a free opportunity to socialize and tour a full spectrum of galleries, local businesses, and nonprofit art spaces. Start at any location and pick up a map; just look for the yellow banner. For a complete listing of artists and participating venues or to view the map, visit cachearts.org. This is one of five opportunities this year for collectors and those experiencing this area for the first time to enjoy the arts community. The April Walk features more than 17 locations; enjoy everything from mixed media by Holly Conger to fine watercolor masterpieces by Ernie Verdine. Highlights range from ceramic works by Matthew Conlon, dry point prints by Christy Chambers, and a special bus artwork project organized by the Cache

County School District (CCSD) and the Cache Valley Transit District (CVTD) called “Art in Transit: Bringing Communities Together – Art in Transit.” The project’s focus is to bring art made by children into public places and showcase student-created artwork inside CVTD’s buses throughout the Cache Valley Region. Over the past few weeks, fourth graders at Providence Elementary have created drawings and prints relating to the theme “Bringing Communities Together” with art specialist Robin Evans, and Cache District arts coordinator Aurora Hughes Villa. The students’ original artwork has been arranged and reproduced onto vinyl bus placards and installed inside our first CVTD bus to be on exhibit at the Gallery Walk. The bus will be parked and open for viewing at 100 South (just south of the Thatcher-Young Mansion Gallery) during the event.

The Thatcher-Young Mansion (35 W. 100 South) will also have an exhibit on display with more artwork made by Providence Elementary fourth graders as well as artwork made by local high school students. For more information about the Art in Transit project or to learn how to sponsor art on the buses, please contact Hughes Villa at 435-7523925 ext. 2067. The CVCA welcomes a few new locations to the Gallery Walk including The Image Foundry, Jack’s Wood-Fired Oven, and Joy Ride Bikes. Gallery Walk location Joy Ride Bikes is hosting a “We Love Bicycles” art contest. Contestants in second through fifth grade will be entered into a drawing for a free bike by drawing/ creating a piece describing why they love riding their bikes. All the galleries and businesses included in the walk will stay open late to showcase artists.

Pet: Sophia From: Cache Humane Society Why she’s so lovable: Sophia

is a lazy, lap cat. She’s sweet, but independent. For those looking for a starter pet (the first they’ve ever owned) or just a sweet companion, Sophia is a good choice. She’s already spayed, but please keep in mind that she is a long-haired kitty and will need frequent brushing and occasional bathing to keep her looking her best.

Rhythms Crumb Brothers to host a dual CD release concert this month

Chimney Choir making a stop in Logan Thursday Chimney Choir will perform at Why Sound at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 19. Cost is $5. The band skillfully interweaves genres resulting in a folk-meets-world music sound, steeped in psychedelia. All multi-instrumentalists, writers and singers, Kevin Larkin, David Rynhart and Kris Drickey change instruments (sometimes within a song) and sing in three part-harmony, all while balancing field recordings

and computer synths with traditional acoustic instrumentation. Percussionist Carl Sorensen plays a junk yard kit comprised of glass bottles, a PBR can, a bike wheel, nails and a trash can lid. The trio is currently touring behind their new album, “Ladder,” recorded live in one take in a pipe organ chapel in front of an audience. For more information, visit www.chimneychoir.com.

The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a dual CD release concert with Austin Weyand and Jamie Bartschi on Saturday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West in Logan. The duo will play a mix of Celtic, swing and bluegrass music. Tickets are $13 and are available by calling 435-757-3468. Or, take your chances at the door. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase of tickets is recommended. The concert is co-sponsored by Utah Public Radio and Import Auto. Drawing from the refinement of classical music, the visceral experience of blues, classic rock, flamenco and the swinging dance feel of American jazz, Weyand creates a truly diverse and aweinspiring experience with the acoustic guitar. Weyand entertains with his pianistic approach to the guitar displaying melody, harmony, bass lines, even percussion in stellar arrangements and compositions that fascinate audiences wherever he performs. As the 2008 champion of the State of Wyoming Fingerstyle Guitar Competition, Weyand has drawn attention to his music. Weyand holds a master’s degree in guitar performance from Northern Illinois University where he studied intensively with eclectic classical, jazz and world music recording artist Fareed Haque. Bartschi is a master’s-level music therapist with a lifetime of performing, recording and teaching experience. An accomplished violinist, fiddle player and guitarist, she is noted for her ability to improvise and create beautiful arrangements and solos on

The CD is full of music that I love to play – improvised, playful and off the beaten path,” Bartschi said. “It is also an unpaved road for me in the sense that it is my first full-length album recorded in a real studio.” Weyand’s new CD entitled

“Too Much Information” showcases 11 powerful solo guitar instrumentals, nine of which are Weyand’s own compositions and arrangements. They include groovebased intricate compositions that will keep feet tapping; melodic ballads that were written for his wife and daughter; and thoughtful, inspiring arrangements of both popular and traditional music.

The Utah State University Theatre Arts Department will present the play “Two-Headed,” a 70-minute, two-character play depicting 40 years in the lives of two 19th century Mormon women in Utah. Production dates are April 16 to 21 with a 7:30 p.m. curtain time in the Julie Jensen Morgan Theatre located in the Chase Fine Arts Center at the Logan campus. “Two-Headed” is written by contemporary playwright Julie Jensen, who has incorporated her dramatic interpretation of historical events. Throughout the production, the main characters, Lavinia and Hettie, are both torn apart by polygamy, frontier living and the acts that occurred in the Mountain Meadow Massacre; however, these same elements bond the women for life. While the massacre and polygamy are playwright Jensen’s dramatic building blocks, the driving aspect of the play is the relationship of these two women who are at times enemies, but always friends. “I think ‘Two-Headed’ is about the struggle to survive your genealogy, be it good or bad,” said Lynda Linford, director of “Two-Headed.” “The public should come see this play because it is intense, inspirational and revealing. It’s a play that will truly make you think.” Tickets for “Two-Headed” are $13 for adults, $10 for seniors and youth, $8 for USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. “Two-Headed” is rated I for Intermediate and recommended for ages 13 and older.

As semester ends, there’s plenty going on

Kent Concert Hall to host percussion concert Monday The Utah State University Percussion Ensemble and the Caine Percussion Ensemble present a concert Monday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m., in the Kent Concert Hall. “This concert is exciting due to the incredibly diverse array of music,” said Jason Nicholson, assistant professor of percussion in the Caine College of the Arts. The pieces to be performed range from large percussion ensembles to a group of non-pitched percussion instruments accompanied by djembe drumming from West Africa. A variety of musical tastes will be presented in this concert, including numbers that feature marimba quartets and ensembles. “The audience will see an animated performance overflowing with energy and entertainment,” said Nicholson. The students that compose the USU Percussion Ensemble are both percussion majors and non-majors. The Caine Percussion Ensemble is made up of five percussion majors who auditioned for the group. Tickets range from free to $10 and can be purchased at arts.usu.edu.

USU museum aims to educate public on various disabilities The Utah State University Museum of Anthropology will host a discussion panel on the importance of understanding and respecting people with disabilities. The panel will be Saturday, April 14, at 1 p.m., in Old Main, Room 225. The goal of the panel is threefold: first, to educate the public on varying types of disabilities, second, to give individuals a glimpse into what it is like to live with a disability, and third, to present general guidelines on when and how to assist an individual with a disability should they need it. Prior to the panel, patrons will have the opportunity to read a Braille book after being introduced to the Braille alphabet. Throughout the day, the museum will show a video montage of several documentaries that illustrate the trials and triumphs of people with disabilities. “Every day we deal with people who have disabilities in some way or another,” said Jessica Swift, Saturdays Program coordinator. “The

difficult part is knowing how to overcome any perceived social awkwardness. For example, if you get to a door at the same time as a person who is visually impaired, do you hold it open for them? Or what is the most respectful way to talk to an individual with dwarfism? That is the goal for this Saturday, to spread awareness and answer questions.” USU students and members of the public are always invited to the museum any time during open hours: Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Funding for Saturday events is provided by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. The USU Museum of Anthropology is located on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building. For more information on this event, call museum staff at 435-797-7545 or visit anthromuseum.usu.edu.

‘The Cabin in the Woods’

Aaron Peck

Director // Drew Goddard Starring // Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford and Chris Hemsworth Rated // R for strong bloody horror violence and gore, language, drug use and some sexuality/nudity

“The Cabin in the Woods” is such a difficult movie to review because it relies so much on the secret, or secrets, that are possessed within its story. You might think that this is simply another movie where a group of unsuspecting college kids travel out to a secluded cabin in the woods and then come face to face with evil killers. If that’s what the trailers have led you to believe, then you’d be half right. There’s something completely different going on here which makes “Cabin” one of this year’s most enjoyable films. I dare only reveal what can be seen in the movie’s trailer. Five college kids head out on a weekend getaway to an isolated cabin far from the prying eyes of civilization. The kids seem to perfectly inhabit the horror movie clichés, almost like it was planned that way or something. You have the promiscuous hottie, Jules (Anna

horror movie she’s in. Fans of Joss Whedon already know that he’s one of the brains behind this movie. From the outset, you can tell Whedon is in charge here. The way he sets up his story mixing horror and humor is brilliant. This is one of the

funniest horror spoofs since “Shaun of the Dead” reinvented the genre. Here, Whedon rags on just about every horror movie cliché there is, but the true genius of the film lies with its intricate story. See CABIN on p. 11

Unicorn Theater turns 50

he Unicorn Theater is getting old, but it’s also just getting started. This year the local organization is turning 50. Although it has grown a lot in the preceding decades, there are some new places the leaders of the organization still hope to take it. “It started with one person and no money,” says Matt Omasta, a director at the Unicorn Theater and USU professor. “(It) has grown to a season of four to six shows ... plus multiple classes each semester. It’s involved people from the university, people from the community, kids from schools all over the valley ... It’s definitely been exciting.” That one person was Ruth Call, who founded the Unicorn Children’s Theater in 1962. Call felt that the valley needed a place where young children could get involved with theater and drama, so she committed herself to creating that place. It started out with just her teaching classes to children. Although Call passed away in 2004, her dream continues to go strong under the tutelage of her husband, W. Vosco Call. Over the years, the Unicorn Theater has expanded, at times partnering with other organizations such as USU, The Bullen Center or the Ellen Eccles Theatre for learning space, stages and other resources. Currently the Unicorn Theater employs 10 people, who take turns teaching, acting and directing plays on a semi-permenant basis; and while teaching children is still at the core of the Unicorn Theater, the organization has expand-

ed a bit beyond its roots. “(The Unicorn Theater) sprang into three different types of production,” explains Omasta. “The pillow classes (which are for younger kids), the bigger shows and then also a series of courses (such as) theater drama and exploration classes.”

For its 50th anniversary, the Unicorn Theater has a couple projects under its belt. “We’re doing ‘Wiley and the Hairy Man’ right now and we’ll be doing a production in the fall, probably along the lines of ‘The Wizard of Oz;’ a larger piece ... to showcase the development that’s happened over the last 50 years,” Omasta says. As for the future of the organization, there has been talk of expanding beyond just acting and perhaps even acquiring a place for the Unicorn Theater productions. “We’re certainly seeking (our own space) ... We’d like to see our main stage productions become something that everyone in the valley and beyond wants to come see. We’re able to pay our actors better stipends now. We’re bringing in people who are professionals in the field,” Omasta states. “I’m also interested in working with kids to write plays in the future and seeing if we might get that on the ball, ’cause right now it’s been mostly focused on acting with the kids.” But right now, they just hope you enjoy the show. “We really hope people come out this weekend,” says Omasta. “It’s going to be a great time.” “Wiley and the Hairy Man” opens at 7 p.m. tonight at the Ellen Eccles Theatre and is suggested for ages 8 and older. Additional showings will be held at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 14. Cost is $10 for adults, $8 for 13- to 18-year olds and $5 for children 12 and younger.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, April 13, 2012

Though I support the slow food movement and foodie groups, I sometimes find myself longing for the faster, highly processed, less complicated days of TV dinners and instant ice tea. Given my food background, it is amazing that I can fit through most doors and into most restaurant booths. I grew up in a home that was drunk on convenience. My educated peer group can get pretty snobby dismissing the historical significance of Pop-Tarts and boilin-bag stuff, because they are not taking into consideration the context of the times. Besides all the 1960’s hippie Woodstock stuff

people like to reminisce about, there was also a fast food and convenience food orgy going on. People now like to mock the global reach of McDonald’s, but back then it had just begun to dominate the U.S. with something called the All American Meal. It was a milkshake, fries and a hamburger which I think you could get for a dollar (remember gasoline was 25 cents a gallon then). This became the standard for what people wanted to eat in the new drive-in, drivethrough lifestyle. There was also a space race and eating like the astronauts didn’t involve home-baked bread and steamed, fresh vegeta-

bles. There were space food sticks and powdered orange juice-like beverages. The magic word “instant” was attached to food and beverages. Of course it was not exactly instant, but it was faster than brewing, boiling, peeling and soaking, etc., which we were previously chained to. The grocery isles were filled with instant mashed potatoes, coffee, ice tea, lemonade, chocolate milk, ready-to-bake cookie dough, whipped cream in a can, aerosol cheese and freeze-dried soup. Television was relatively new and it shaped how people ate as well. There were only three channels on about 12 hours a day with none

Before criticizing, consider Pop-Tarts’ history

of the recorders, streaming or digital excess we have now. You kinda sorta had to watch the program when it was on or miss it forever. This sometimes meant watching during dinner; hence the invention of the TV dinner and TV tray to put your TV dinner on while you

huddled around your 16-inch black and white RCA. The appeal of the TV dinner was that you could have your meat, vegetable, potato and dessert all in one easyto-throw-away tray. To add further temptation, there were few non-human dishwashers, so being able to boil stuff in a bag, defrost it or just scoop it out of can saved a lot preparation and clean-up time. This era was also right on the cusp of readilyavailable microwaves ovens, so the speedy alternative was stuffing all manner of foods into a toaster or some aluminum-wrapped thing into a regular oven to have it magically appear as a whole meal in 30 minutes.

I don’t regret my past even though meals were more like chemistry experiments than Norman Rockwell feasts. I still wonder how they were able to keep the Pop-Tarts icing from melting in the toaster, but I probably don’t really want to know.

Your Stuff “Jackals”

“Along the Way”

By William Humphrey

By Glenda Grindeland

I looked back on my childhood years. I was seeing all my regrets and fears. I used to know someone I considered mean and unkind. It was someone who had a set of rules to adhere to. And so down the halls of time, Along the way I found you. The story is the same. I found someone who was both gentle and The Jackals firing at the truth, kind. Sometimes the bullets maim. It was someone who loved everyone for no reason. Practice what you preach, I didn’t get what I thought as my right to life. Was said so long ago, I thought my life was supposed to be better. Jackals pretend righteous love, Along the way I found you. But they are from below. I grew up with someone whom I thought was mean. They preach hate, I understand It was someone who had impossible rules With a thin disguise. to live up to. Working on their plan of hate, The things I was taught, not clearly seen. They think that they are wise. The way I thought about God at all was wrong. Jackals work for Satan, Along the way I found you. It is stamped upon their heart. Someone I could tell my secrets to. Spreading terror is their thing, Someone who listened to what I had to say. From this they won’t depart. It was someone who didn’t try to clip my Why don’t they change their way of life, wings. This was someone who would be there if I Repent and become clean. tried to fly. If they loved the Great Redeemer, Along the way I found you. They never could be mean. I just wanted to say thank you for what you gave to me. Jackals circle round about, Screeching for fresh blood. A rifle cracks the shot is fired, Truth falls with a thud.

Books Mom picks sex offender over daughter in novel By M.L. Johnson Associated Press

Liz Reid’s 12-year-old sister delivers the bad news: “Terrence is getting out next month.” The sex offender their mother has married is being released from prison and moving in with them. Liz’s sister, Jaime, immediately flees to live with their alcoholic father and conniving stepmother. But Liz, having seen their father beat their mother innumerable times and survived a drunken driving crash with him at the wheel, balks. She’ll try to make it work. And so she ignores it when Terrence touches her, obeys his petty demands regarding pizza

toppings and TV show selections, and tries to block out the sounds of sex coming from her mother’s bedroom. She doesn’t

complain when her mother buys Terrence a new set of weights instead of getting her children shoes. And when her mother tells her she must move out, Liz cries. A lousy home is better than no home, and Liz’s sense of security is tied to her mother. For years, her mother took the blows from her father to protect the girls. But now she has a new life, and she has chosen: Terrence will stay, Liz will go. Liz and her sister soon find themselves shuttled among relatives: Terrence’s brother, their father, one aunt and then another. Yet no matter where they go, Liz cannot escape Terrence. He visits, he calls, he writes. Melanie Thorne’s debut

‘Heroes for My Daughter’ is deeply personal By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Brad Meltzer’s follow-up to his amazing “Heroes for My Son” features more talented individuals who prove one person truly can change the world. From the introduction of “Heroes for My Daughter,” where Meltzer delivers a personal message to his young daughter, the reader immediately understands how deeply personal this book is for the author. He wants his daughter to understand that anything is possible. What better way to demonstrate that belief than by using stories of people who have defied the odds or spoken up when they were told to be quiet? The subjects are diverse, from Helen Keller and Rosa Parks to Carol Burnett and Bart Simpson’s sister, Lisa. After reading the text accompanying the

hero, it makes perfect sense. One of the best stories tells of Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace, players on the woman’s softball team of Central Washington University. During an important game, Western Oregon University senior Sara Tucholsky hit her very first home run. While running around the bases, she missed first base. She turned back to touch the base and tore a ligament in her leg. She crawled back to first and couldn’t move. A pinch runner would negate the run, and if her teammates helped her, she would be called out. Holtman and Wallace checked with the referees to make sure it was OK if they carried Tucholsky around the bases so she could have her home run. That run cost Central Washington University the game and a playoff spot. But the team gained something more valuable, and provided a lesson for us all.

novel is raw with emotion as she describes Liz’s often futile efforts to protect her sister and herself from the predator their mother has invited into their lives. It is often hard to remember that this is, in fact, a novel and not a memoir. In a letter tucked in the front of the book, Thorne outlines the similarities between her life and her character’s. “My mom ... married a convicted sex offender,” she writes. “Like Liz, I was ‘asked’ to leave my home. And, like Liz, I was separated from my little sister at a time when we needed one another the most. Fifteen years later I still wonder what would have been dif-

ferent if my mom had forced her husband to leave instead of her daughters.” It’s a good question. Thorne’s novel is an eyeopener. It’s unlikely that anyone would disagree with a policy preventing sex offenders from living with young girls, but there’s almost no public discussion of what that means in practical terms. I suspect most of us believe that any good mother, any rational woman would choose her daughters over someone who has been convicted of sexual assault. But every year, hundreds, if not thousands, of women prove that’s not the case.
