From the editor n the last eight years I’ve Imake moved 11 times, and tomorrow will the twelfth. Most of the moves were minor, from apartment to apartment in Logan, when leases ended and/or I needed new roommates for one reason or another. I have lived with 42 different girls over the years, and am finally getting my own place. There will be good things about this: my mess will be all my own, I’ll be able to watch endless amounts of “Friends” without complaint, and the apartment temperature will always be at least 75 degrees. And maybe, because I won’t be working around roommates’ life plans, I’ll be able to stay in one place a little longer. Because let’s face it, moving sucks. A couple weeks ago I went to a show

at Logan Arthouse where a duo from California called The Milk Carton Kids performed. They play acoustic music and their harmonies are out-of-control good. That night they sang a song called “Permanent,” where they mentioned how something new always seems enticing because “you can open it and plug it in.” However, when it comes down to it, many of us want something that will last a little longer than that first moment of excitement. Something a little more permanent. Apartment living is interesting, because it never really seems permanent, at least not to me. And there’s something nice about that too. But I’m hoping that in this new place I can stay longer than I have in other places in the past. If you haven’t heard The Milk Carton Kids before, I suggest going to their site, themilkcartonkids.com, right now. You can download their album for free, and who doesn’t like free? — Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Interfaith choir to perform cantata By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

ccording to First PresA byterian Choir Director, Elisabeth Evans, power is the

way she would describe the upcoming Easter cantata at the Logan Tabernacle. The performance of “Passion and Glory of the Risen Christ” by Jack Schrader, will be held Sunday evening and include about 50 singers from various faiths in the community, as well as an 11-piece orchestra. “There are really awesome singers,” Evans said. “I’m just getting a dynamic range this year ... I’m just listening to the basses and sopranos and, geez, they sound good.” Evans was recruited to be the conductor of the Easter community choir by Lucille Hansen, who is in charge of the summer and Christmas performances at the Tabernacle. Hansen saw the cantata at First Presbyterian Church last year and asked if Evans would do it again, only on a larger scale. Last year’s performance had about 25 singers and a six- or seven-piece orchestra, Evans said, and to get more people involved this year, a call for performers was put out around Christmas. “And they came!” Evans, said, adding they have been practicing together since March. “I’m most excited about the power behind

the choird this year. These people are invested and they really feel what they are singing, and they show it. You hear it.” Evans said the cantata was published for the first time in 2010 and has “wonderful bluesy rhythms and piano parts” while telling the story of Jesus’ final hours. More than 10 pieces Sunday will be performed, along with some solos and orchestra music. “You’re hearing the story through the music as well as the words with the choir. The part that’s the most emotional is when Jesus is in the Garden, leading up to the crucifixion. You hear the nails pounded into the cross with the music. We haven’t gotten through that part without someone in the choir crying yet.” Evans added that the program ends with a very uplifting and hopeful feeling, and that throughout the performance, it’s easy to get carried away in the music and message. The cantata is being performed by the second interdenominational choir formed this year, the first being for the Martin Luther King program held at the Tabernacle a few months ago. Evans said there are members from the Presbyterian, Catholic, Mormon, Episcopal and Lutheran churches, as well as some members that don’t regularly attend any organized religion. The performance at 6 p.m. April 17 in the Logan Tabernacle.

Swashbuckling USU actors take stage as ‘The Three Musketeers’ he legendary three musketeers T 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 continuing to show at Utah State University April 15-16 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-to-hand 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 action-packed production, said Richie Call,

visiting assistant professor of theatre arts and fight coach. “I have the battle wounds from fight call rehearsals to prove it,” said Call. Adventure, drama, humor and romance combine to make this play family-friendly and entertaining, said Call. “I have enjoyed learning the difference between swashbuckling, the type of sword play we use in the play, and fencing, the kind of competitive, sporting sword play I’m more familiar with,” said Jason Craig West who portrays d’Artagnan. “The choreographer has been fun to work with because he is so creative and yet still open to suggestions,” West said. “That’s important to me because I like to give my two cents.” “The Three Musketeers” begins at 7:30 p.m. nightly in the Morgan Theatre of the USU Chase Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $13 reserved seating, $11 for USU faculty and staff, $9 for non-USU students and free for USU students with ID. Tickets are available online (arts.usu. edu), by phone, 435-797-8022 and in person at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center.

Coach of USU Ballroom Team

ince 2008 Adam Shelton has not only been coaching the USU Ballroom team, but also teaches classes at Enlight Ballroom, a business he co-owns with his wife, Jeanne-Louis. Since coming to USU, the college ballroom team has been able to place higher at competition than long-time rival University of California, San Diego, and within five years, Shelton would like to see the team compete in Germany at the World Formation Championships. A Brigham Young University graduate with 16 years of dancing under his belt (10 as a competitor and six as a coach), Shelton has big plans for the future. • “I was always interested in dance. I started with a tap dance group at age 5. My true introduction to ballroom dance was through a little red head girl that lived in my neighborhood. She was attending a ballroom dance camp that required partnership registration. I accepted her invitation and loved every second of ballroom dancing since.” • “Perhaps I am slightly biased because I am only 5’7’’, but I enjoy Latin dancing much more than Ballroom dance. Typically Ballroom dance is composed of making long graceful lines and Latin is about making quick moving curves. I suppose my small frame was built more for creating curves than lines.” • Most of Shelton’s competitive ballroom experience comes through the BYU Ballroom Dance program through their youth and college teams. • At BYU Shelton received training from some of the top professionals they bring in each year. He also had the opportunity to win several national formation dance championships through their program. • “During the last year of finishing up a corporate finance degree at BYU I was none to excited about the career options open to a finance graduate. So, I used the last year of college to come up with the details for Enlight Ballroom. Jeanne-Louise, my wife, grew up in Logan so coming here to start a studio seemed like the natural conclusion. So in the fall of 2008 we trekked up to Logan to start our studio.” • Enlight Ballroom offers classes for all ages and abilities. While the primary focus is on competitive youth ballroom from ages 5-18, the Sheltons also teach a weekly adult class on Wednesday nights.

Film New this week “Scream 4” Rated R ★★1⁄2 Ghostface’s 11-year layoff hasn’t made the “Scream” franchise feel any fresher. But with a decent beginning, a mushy midsection and a killer ending, the latest installment at least doesn’t feel any staler. Honestly, it’s not an unwelcome thing to watch the return of Neve Campbell as the slasher victim who wouldn’t die, Courtney Cox as the tabloid hack in bloodlust for a story and David Arquette as the bumbling Barney Fife of fright-flick cops. Director Wes Craven has added an attractive young harvest of fresh meat on the victim and psycho front, led by Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin, along with amusing cameos from Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell and others. “Scream 4” opens with the franchise’s usual prologue, this one modestly clever, heavier on laughs than suspense. But it gets the action rolling and the blood flowing for the main event: Campbell’s celebrity victim Sidney Prescott returns to her hometown on a book tour for her memoir about surviving her encounters with the various Ghostface slashers. Her arrival coincides with the anniversary of the original slayings, when the town’s teenage Sidney idolaters already are in a frenzy for the annual “Stabathon” party built around the Hollywood franchise inspired by her experiences. Of course, bodies pile up as a new Ghostface goes on a rampage. 111 minutes.

lot of passion A and personal feeling clearly went into “Rio,”

the 3-D animated adventure from director Carlos Saldanha, who devised this story as a love letter to his Brazilian hometown. It’s strikingly gorgeous, bursting with big images and vibrant colors. And the use of 3-D, which so often feels so needless and like such an afterthought, is surprisingly effective in the hands of Saldanha (director or co-director of the “Ice Age” movies) and his team. Stuff doesn’t come flinging at you in cheeky, knowing fashion — although that can be fun in its own gimmicky way sometimes — but in the flying sequences especially the chase scenes, the 3-D provides an extra thrill, an added layer of immersive oomph. Blu, a cerulean macaw who’s the film’s reluctant hero, hang-glides around the mountaintop Christ the Redeemer statue, and the depth of field that results is sort of awesome. The whole film has a tremendous energy about it, not just in the way it moves but in the snappy banter and screwball antics between Jesse Eisenberg, who voices the character of Blu, and Anne Hathaway, who voices the free-spirited bird Jewel. Eisenberg works his patented halting, neurotic delivery to ideal comic effect, while Hathaway is confident, bold and impatient as the female of the species who is his destiny. They clash so convincingly, you’d think they’d recorded

their scenes together. (They didn’t, which is unfortunately the norm in animation performances.) So much is so appealing for so long that you can almost forgive the fact that there’s not much story here in the script from Don Rhymer, Joshua Sternin & Jeffrey Ventimilia and Sam Harper. (Three others, including Saldanha himself, get story-by credit.) It’s essentially one long chase, with the usual romantic-comedy friction that will, of course, turn into love. Blu, as a baby, was abducted by smugglers who raided his jungle home to sell him and other beautiful birds illegally in the United States. He ended up getting lost en route and, luckily for him, falling into the loving hands of a nerdy, small-town Minnesota girl named Linda. Over the years, the two forged an amusingly inappropriate bond, and now are enjoying a comfy, co-dependent existence. Linda (voiced as an adult by Leslie Mann) has domesticated this bird she named Blu

the Conchords” voices the character with preening menace — complete with an elaborate production number — and he’s a hoot. From here, they must figure out how to break free so Blu can get back to Linda and Jewel can enjoy independence. (George Lopez, Jamie Foxx, will.i.am and Tracy Morgan lend their voices to the supporting players who help along the way.) The fact that they’re chained to each other — and Blu can’t fly, if you’ll recall — sets up plenty of slapstick and elaborate mad dashes across slums, beaches, forests and finally the spectacle of Carnival. Nothing deep or heavy here — just a good time and a pleasurable escape.

‘Rio’ bright and fun, especially in 3-D

Making movies Utah State University’s Fringe Film Festival inspired directors to create films about love and compete for cash

ontestants in this year’s Fringe Film Festival had four minutes to capture the eyes of judges with a movie themed “Twitterpated: a Spring Love Comedy.” There were about 20 entries, one coming from as far as New York, that have been narrowed to four final films and, tonight, the winner will be announced. The short-film festival is organized by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and the Logan Arthouse Cinema. Courtney Lewis, who is with USU’s Caine College of the Arts Production Services, said the contest has a “more edgy feel” than the usual Caine event. The intent of the Fringe Film Festival is to spark the interest and creativity of people, she said. “Our main goal is just to generate creativity,” Lewis said, and she wasn’t disappointed with this year’s entries.

“We’re really excited with the turnout,” she said. “There were so many spectacular films.” Films were judged based on 10 categories including cinematography and composition, writing, sound, score and delivery, Lewis said. There are four finalists — two determined by a three-judge panel and the other two by online voting. Lewis said the overall winner will receive $2,000. Other prizes include a giftcard to the USU Bookstore. The Fringe Film Festival will be hosted by the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. Tickets are $10, or two tickets for $15. Lewis said that from about 7 to 8 p.m., all the short films will be shown. The four films in the finals will be shown at 8 p.m. Here is a quick look into the life and creativity of the four finalists — Kevin Lacy, Quince Van Orden, Matthew Pool and Stephen Simmons.

Stephen Simmons

Age: 27 Film title: “I Love Me” Film synopsis: Before you can start loving anyone, you have to start loving yourself.

immons, a Utah native, said that in his films, he likes to have original ideas that challenge himself and clichés, so “I Love Me” isn’t the romantic storyline one might expect. “I like to challenge myself and think of ways I can switch things around and still fit in that type of genre ... I thought about a character falling in love with himself. From there on I took all these elements of a boy meets girl and just took out the girl. Boy meets himself,” Simmons said. Simmons, of Salt Lake City, would like to have a career in film. “I have no notions that I will be a huge Hollywood star or a big shot director,” he said. “I would love one day to live comfortably with my work as an artist,” he said.

Matthew Pool

ool has been interested in film since he was a kid. At 13, he got his first camera and he has been filming ever since. Pool, who is from Salt Lake City, graduated from The University of Utah with a degree in film studies and hopes to have a career in film. “Monday” was inspired by events in Pool’s life. He said every time one of his coworkers is upset, he writes notes on Postits and sticks them around their office. “I thought it would be kind of a cute story if love were involved,” he said.

acy grew up dreaming of directing movies, but he wasn’t sure a career in film was a practical ambition. “For a long time I was too worried about the practicality of that goal, but finally decided that life was too short to not pursue my childhood dreams,” he said. He graduated from the University of Utah in film and media arts and has been accepted into the American Film Institute’s Directing Conservatory in Los Angeles. Lacy, who grew up in Cache Valley and graduated from Sky View High School, said he learned from Nora Ephron’s commentary for “Sleepless in Seattle” that romantic movies need a “chase scene” and that is something he has captured in “Love Sick.”

Age: 23 Film title: “Silly Love Games” Film synopsis: John is an ESL tutor who has a romantic study session with the hot Ivanna, but as he tells his friends this tale, some other students tell how they remember things differently.

an Orden, a USU student from Illinois, said he “combined forces” with his brother to come up with the plot of “Silly Love Games.” He enjoys filming, but does he want a career in it? “Yes and no,” he said, adding that it is hard to get into the business. “Not everybody is a Brad Pitt or a Steven Spielberg.” Still, “Silly Love Games” won’t be the last film we see from Van Orden. “Look forward to more movies from me for sure,” he said.

Page 10 - The Herald Journal - Cache, Logan, Utah, Friday, April 15, 2011

Logan still a young and adolescent metropolis ogan isn’t too anyL thing. It’s not too big or too small, but it’s also not just

right. It’s not too young or too old. Like many towns and small cities in the west, it’s just a petulant, unpredictable, hormonally-challenged adolescent. To put it in perspective, the house I just moved out of was built about 100 years ago which makes it old only by Western U.S. standards. On the east coast and in the Midwest some houses have washing machines that old. Take a trip across the Atlantic Ocean and you’ll find homes with plumbing installed by Druids and Roman arches actually built by Romans. While there are many desirable things about being young, being fickle is not one of them. Adolescents want to be popular and do embarrassing things to achieve this. I know I was thrilled to get a Lowes, Home Depot and Starbucks for my

own selfish consumptive reasons. Many other locals applauded Old Navy, Pet Smart and Chili’s as signs that we were becoming a maturing metropolis. With every binge comes the ensuing hangover and morning of regret. We don’t know who or what we are; at least yet. To continue my youth analogy; do we want to be the popular kid with an iPhone and all the right brand name clothes or the interesting bohemian kid who wears artfully mixed thrift shop ensembles and writes poetry at the coffee shop? Because we are filled with those throbbing hormones of youth, most days the answer is yes, no and somewhere in between. I liked Logan just the way it was, while I still curse that I have to drive to Salt Lake City to catch a plane to anywhere. I want Logan to be different from, and conform with, the rest of the world simultaneously.

Slightly Off Center By Dennis Hinkamp

East coast cities have had several hundred years to decide what they want to be. Many of them have recreated themselves from fishing and farming economies to business centers, art communities or tourist destinations. They

built trains, subways and other means of mass transit not to save energy, but to simplify commuting. There are cities on the east coast where it costs more to park a car than to buy a car. The west is the land of eight-lane highways, drivethrough everything and free parking. Unless you pick your address carefully, there isn’t much of anything within walking distance here. If you do want to walk somewhere, there might not be a sidewalk to get there. Since everyone has a car, we have decided to draw strict lines between residential and commercial. I grew up in long-ago St. Louis with a corner store, laundromat, hardware store and, of course, a corner bar. Most western neighborhoods don’t even have definable corners because the original grids were based on agriculture and irrigation more than commerce. That’s fine, but since

we’ve eliminated most livestock from the city limits, we need to rethink bringing back more places like the Island Market. We are torn between the consistent taste of franchise coffee and burgers while simultaneously longing for a unique local flavor. The eat, drink and buy localvore movement is only partially driven by environmental concerns. Farmers markets are thriving because people want someplace to go that has a local feel and taste even if that taste is sometimes tasteless. Dennis Hinkamp admits that it is a contradiction that he still would like to have at least one Dunkin Donuts in town. He is among a number of freelance writers whose columns appear in The Herald Journal as part of an effort to expose readers to a variety of community voices. He is not an employee of the newspaper.

Roosevelt takes football’s side in ‘The Big Scrum’ By The Associated Press

hat's getting the W Panama Canal built or making peace between Russia

and Japan compared with rescuing football from damnation and dissolution? In the Age of Theodore Roosevelt, anything was possible. Sports history meets social history in "The Big Scrum" as John J. Miller examines the early years of an all-toodeadly pastime and why only presidential intervention may have saved football from the fate of cockfighting. Miller's easygoing narrative and keen eye for colorful detail should cheer sports fans and history

buffs alike. Football addicts are fortunate that T.R. was the man in the White House when, in 1905, no fewer than 18 players died from injuries suffered on the field. Roosevelt was sensitive to his fellow Progressives who felt scorn for the brutal game and demanded it be abolished. But he, too, was a product of the times, a period in which physical fitness began to be promoted on the same level as mental agility. Miller juxtaposes the decades-long evolution of football from a rugbymeets-soccer knockoff to an all-American sport with Roosevelt's own transforma-

tion from sickly rich kid to hardy, adventurous youth. He was still rich, of course, and all the better able to enjoy the things — boxing lessons and big-game hunts were but two — that came with wealth. In presenting a joint history of football and the 26th president, Miller focuses far more on why Roosevelt got involved than what he actually did as president to make a difference. Fewer side trips into the minutiae of both subjects might have put more energy into this dual narrative. But then readers could have missed out on the fact that painter Frederic Remington once soiled his college football

businesslike." And that college student Woodrow Wilson, later a Roosevelt nemesis, extolled the virtues of football for the Princeton newspaper and even served as an officer for the college team. And that a dead player's mother almost singlehandedly stopped an effort to ban football in Georgia. Roosevelt enjoyed solving problems, even those that didn't concern his office. He used his bully pulpit to cajole modern football's founders into revising the rules — the forward pass was one innovation — to make the game less lethal. In doing so, T.R. scored a touchdown for American sports.

‘Periodic Tales’ a charming look at the elements By The Associated Press

ome people collect coins or baseball cards. Others collect stamps or Pez dispensers. Hugh AlderseyWilliams collects the building blocks of the universe. Aldersey-Williams has been trying to collect pure samples of every element known to humankind — from the common to the rare, the inert to the lethal. His quest sprang from a simple desire: to see and feel the elements that otherwise seem to exist only as abbreviations on the periodic table. The author’s scientific sentimentality may be unusual. But he makes it easy to share his passion with his latest book, the charming “Periodic Tales: A Cultural History of the Elements, From Arsenic to Zinc.” Few people give elements a second thought outside of chemistry class, but each one has an interesting story. The

quest for gold drove some cultures to explore the world, while other cultures dismissed it as useless. Platinum is as plentiful as gold but it’s more valuable because of artificially created demand. And chlorine changed the way nations waged war. In this context, the elements are surprisingly fascinating. AlderseyWilliams writes about how each element was discovered, explains its place in human history and describes the cultural changes it wrought. The vignettes are interesting and eloquently written. The only drawback is quantity — with more than 100 elements, it’s hard to keep some of the stories straight. Aldersey-Williams eases the journey by avoiding complex language. Readers won’t need a strong science background to appreciate the stories. The best part of the book is the author’s evident passion. For example, after reading about an alchemist who extracted faintly glowing phosphorus from human urine, Aldersey-
