FROM THE EDITOR Spring is upon us. And as you’ll notice from the large variety of events crammed into this issue of Cache Magazine, a lot of people are ready to get out of the house and do something out of the ordinary.

And with this being Easter weekend, it seems the majority of us are planning to aid children as they hunt Easter eggs on Saturday, before turning our focus towards our religious beliefs on Sunday.

But for those seeking something with

a little more firepower than bunnypower, there’s the annual Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Hillclimb Association today and Saturday at Beaver Mountain Ski Area.

I know. After another long winter, most of us are ready to soak up some sun and enjoy warmer weather, so why would you want to go somewhere that still had 90 inches of snow?

Personally, I have never been much of a skier, but I grew up on snowmobiles. So, there’s just something particularly entertaining about being able to go up a hill that skiers and snowboarders usually go down.

In recent years, I’ve covered hillclimbs outside of Preston, Montpelier and Ogden, as well as the world championships in

Wyoming. While the Beaver Mountain climb can’t compare to the challenge competitors face in Jackson Hole, it’s still an exciting event to witness, especially if you make the effort to head way up the mountain.

Many of the top RMSHA riders and organizers are from Cache Valley, which makes The Beav one of the most special climbs on the circuit. So, it might just be the perfect time to take that family Easter egg hunt up Logan Canyon.

And should you want to make things a little more challenging, don’t color the eggs before you hide them in the snow.

Disney goes to Alaska for new nature film ‘Bears’

– Media analyst Paul Dergarabedian on the international success of ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (Page 6)

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

The Disney Nature series has a very certain purpose. This isn’t like the all-encompassing, epic scope nature documentaries produced by the BBC. No, these documentaries are geared toward families with young children. A way for children to easily empathize with wildlife without witnessing the gorier aspects of the animal kingdom. As with past Disney Nature docs, “Bears” is about an animal family just trying to survive in this cruel world.

In an effort to anthropomorphize the family of bears as much as possible, they’re given names, traits and even a few lines of hackneyed dialogue. Sky is the mama bear. She has two cubs, Scout and Amber. They’re grizzly bears, living in the remote nature preserves of Alaska. Sky has given birth to her two cubs over the winter, but it’s spring now and they’ve got to find food. When you boil it down, “Bears” is all about the search for food.

A year in the life of a bear family, trying desperately to find enough food to keep them going until they can find their next meal.

Amidst the constant threat

“It’s really about that Marvel brand. ‘Captain America’ can play in Peoria just as well as Hong Kong.”

of starvation they also have to deal with sneaky wolves and angry alpha male bears, both of which are also hungry and wouldn’t mind eating a bear cub or two.

Where documentaries like that of “Planet Earth” show an unfiltered vision of nature, these Disney documentaries shield younger viewers from the harsh realities of life in the animal kingdom. So, if you’re

planning on taking your children, you don’t have to worry about them witnessing bloodied confrontations, and other animals being ripped limb from limb.

That said, the poor salmon don’t get off nearly as easy.

There’s plenty of salmon carnage to go around.

Actor John C. Reilly (“Wreck-it Ralph”) narrates the proceedings. He’s a decent enough narrator,

although some of the tasks he’s given are ridiculously hammy. American kid-centric movies are uncomfortable with silence, so many of the slower spots are filled with inane dialogue that Reilly is asked to metaphorically put into the mouths of the bears. When Scout falls behind he yells, “Hey, mom! Wait up!” He’s asked to speculate on each bear’s feelings, and what they must be thinking at that exact moment. It gets tiresome.

Why not just let the beauty of nature speak for itself?

The anthropomorphizing of Sky and her cubs gets out of hand and is never quite See BEARS on Page 10

He tilts his head when you talk to him like he understands everything you are telling him. Jefferson loves to run and play, and he needs lots of exercise to work off some of his energy.

Jefferson’s adoption fee is $125, which includes the neuter surgery and vaccinations. We show dogs by appointment or at adoption events.

Singer-songwriter Danny Shafer

NEW YORK (AP) — “Captain America” continued to flex its Marvel muscle at the global box office, as “The Winter Soldier” took in $41.4 million domestically and $60.6 million overseas.

The strong second-week performance for the Walt Disney release in North America was enough to narrowly edge 20th Century Fox’s “Rio 2” in a springtime battle of sequels. The animated Amazon jungle tale “Rio 2” debuted with $39 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, almost exactly the opening weekend total of the 2011 Oscar-nominated original.

But “Captain America” has grown considerably in stature since its 2011 original, “The First Avenger.” With a global cumulative total of nearly $477 million, “The Winter Soldier” has (in two weeks domestically, three weeks internationally) easily surpassed the $370 million total of “The First Avenger.”

For a superhero whose costume is draped with the U.S. flag, Captain

America (played by Chris Evans) has proven particularly popular abroad. The international appeal of such a traditionally patriot figure was once doubted.

“The traditional rules just don’t apply anymore. It’s really about that Marvel brand,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “‘Captain America’ can play in Peoria just as well as Hong Kong.”

“Rio 2,” with a voice cast including Anne Hathaway and Jessie Eisenberg, also played well internationally. In its second week of release overseas, it made $62.5 million.

Two other new releases opened in a distant third and fourth place.

The low-budget supernatural horror film “Oculus” took in $12 million for Relativity Media.

The football drama “Draft Day,” starring Kevin Costner and directed by Ivan Reitman, debuted weakly with $9.8 million.

“Transcendence” is a plot-hole minefield. A techno-thriller based on a shaky premise that doesn’t even begin to start answering the questions it poses. Instead, it’s too caught up in forbidden love to make any sense of what’s going on in the story. It’s a movie with big ambitions, I’ll give it that. Lifetime cinematographer Wally Pfister (“Inception”) finally gets his shot to direct.

He’s certainly adept at understanding where his camera should be and how to frame a shot.

Unfortunately, the script, penned by relatively unknown screenwriter Jack Paglen, is as hollow as the promise of fully functioning artificial intelligence.

Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the preeminent leader in his chosen field, researching and developing artificial intelligence.

The idea is soon planted that an AI with the ability to think and operate on its own would soon become smarter than the collective intelligence of everyone who has ever lived in the history of the world. It’s a brave new

Depp tones it down in ‘Transcendence’

Some of the photographers featured at the “Radiant or Ravaged” photo exhibit include (clockwise from top left): Scott Smith, Craig Denton, Paul Cracroft, Tom Bunn and Janet Hancock.

STORY BY LANCE FRAZIER

To augment the “Radiant or Ravaged” exhibit, the Stokes Nature Center will host several photographic programs next spring that include: • Dan Miller of the Bear River Watershed Council, who will show images from their Motorized Use Data Project (MUD) and explain how these images have made a difference in the local forest and watershed.

• Brian Greene of Utah Water Watch, who will show citizen science projects that use apps to document plants and animals.

He will highlight a couple of smartphone apps that use photos to collect scientific data. The class will conclude with a nature walk around SNC allowing participants to take photographs and test out the apps.

‘Not your typical scenic photos’ ‘Radiant or Ravaged’ photo exhibit focuses on the Bear River Watershed

S

cott T. Smith’s scenic photos of the Bear River Mountain Range have appeared in calendars and in various publications across the country. Usually they feature stunning fall colors or snowcrowned barns or exquisite waterfalls that remind us why we live in Cache Valley.

But as Smith combs the area looking for beauty, he also comes across sites that trigger embarrassment, not pride.

“As I’ve taken those pretty shots, I’ve taken pictures of off-road damage too,” said Smith. So when Dan Miller, the driving force behind the ongoing “Radiant or Ravaged” photo exhibit, invited Smith to submit some of his work, the Young Ward photographer asked, “How much ravished do you have with your radiant?”

Smith’s submissions include a picture of a meadow slashed by deep tire ruts. The ruts are filled with water, upon which float soda pop bottles and other garbage. Smith took the photo was near the South Fork of the Little Bear River as he was working on a separate project.

“I saw that and stopped and said, ‘This is horrible,’” Smith said.

It’s not unusual for Smith to shoot “ravaged” photos. He sells them to stock photo agencies, which offer them to publications looking for pictures to illustrate stories on resource destruction. (One such shot of OHV damage in the San Rafael Swell ran in New York Times Magazine.)

Miller, board chair of the Bear River Watershed Council, came up with the idea for an exhibit after seeing photos taken by volunteers in BRWC’s Project MUD. The Motorized Use Data Project documents human-caused erosion and habitat degradation in remote areas, and the project has prompted several restoration projects. It also revealed a surprising amount of abuse in the region’s backcountry.

Miller said the goal of the exhibit is

to “engage amateur and professional photographers, as well as scientists, to take a close look at our local watershed — a place that sustains life — with a different eye. Not only to see the beauty but also to look the other direction toward the impacts from human activities that may not be beneficial to the environment, the watershed, or human health.”

The exhibit, hosted by BRWC and the Utah State University Department of Art and Design, is housed at the Thatcher-Young

Mansion in downtown Logan. It opened last Friday as part of Logan Gallery Walk and will close Wednesday, April 22. As part of the exhibit, USU Water Quality Extension will create an online photo gallery of the images. This will be linked to the Bear River Watershed Information System, and will also include an interactive map of the watershed that has the photos georeferenced.

USU student Beth Hansen helped organize the exhibit, and she said photos can tell stories in ways that nothing else can.

“Photographs are a good tool that can be used to show things that facts and figures can’t,” Hansen said.

“There is greater emotional impact in showing what we’re doing to the environment.”

Two of the 16 photos accepted into the show — which was juried by USU assistant professor of photography Carsten Meier and professional fine art and nature photographer Howie Garber — are by Craig Denton, a University of Utah communications professor and author of “Bear River:

Other photos in the exhibit feature a mallard duck taking off at First Dam, garbage left in a campsite and damage along a riverbank caused by overgrazing. Local photographer Tom Bunn submitted what Miller called an “extremely impressive” trio of photos featuring water in three forms: vapor, ice and liquid.

The exhibit also includes 10 historical photos of the area from USU Special Collections, and a series of shots gathered over the years by the BRWC. One of those shows a cow’s bloated corpse floating in the river. Another photo, a shot of an abandoned camp trailer in Providence Canyon, triggered a reclamation project. In the photo, the trailer is riddled with bullet holes and surrounded by empty shotgun shells, a shot-up propane tank and assorted garbage. Illegal ATV trails have killed off much of the brush on the hillside above.

“This is the epitome of everything,” Miller said. “There’s soil compaction, invasive weeds, chemicals from the clay pigeons and lead from shooting ... it’s a mess.

And this is Providence Canyon — when the snow melts the ruts lead the chemicals to the creek.”

Fortunately, today the area looks much better. A massive work project that included multiple volunteer organizations and the Forest Service resulted in the trailer and garbage being hauled away and new Last Chance to Change Course.” One fencing built that keeps vehicles of Denton’s photos shows a clear away from the area. pool of water surrounded by flowers.

I can’t claim to have been a longtime friend of Randy Wirth but I was a longtime acquaintance. We were both steadfast members of the old-guys-in-Speedos-eeewww (OGISE) club. Why not? We were fit, fast and still doing flip turns. If you don’t like the way it looks, that is your problem.

We just refused to swim in knee-length cloth bags. We first met at the university pool in the early ’80s and talked as recently as a month ago at the Sports Academy.

Most of our most meaningful conversations took place either before or after swimming.

The last conversation we had was something along the lines of, “Wow, all the stuff

A Cache Valley life Bears Wirth remembering

we thought would never happen in Cache Valley has happened.” There are coffee shops all over campus, a thriving gardeners’ market, beer on Sunday and even passable ethnic food. While staying in one place for 30-plus years can compost your brain, it compensates with perspective.

Few people plan to stay anywhere that long; time just slowly leaks out of a

tire of indeterminate size.

I gathered from some of those early swim talks that Randy had a plan to sell the business, say aloha to Logan and move to Kauai because the surfing here has always sucked. I probably had plans for something bigger, better and more exotic myself, but neither the Pulitzers nor the U.S. Olympic Committee ever called. That said, I don’t think anyone would describe either of us as living lives of regret.

I’m not sure why his plans changed, but it was probably coffee induced.

That’s what most people associate with Randy Wirth and Caffe Ibis now.

But 23 years ago, it was just a locker room dream.

And we had the most boring locker room guy talk ever. We discussed See LIFE on Page 12

On the bright side, the visuals here are stunning, a vast expanse of untouched wilderness featuring snow-capped peaks, lush flowering meadows, muddy shores, crystal-clear rivers, ponds bubbling with excited salmon, blue skies, and of course the majestic bears themselves. The film crew has done a masterful job at capturing the visuals needed to tell the story they want to tell.

“Bears” is at the top of its game when it’s focusing on the spectacular Alaskan wilderness. It’s

so beautiful and pristine that whenever Reilly perks up with some silly quote or statement, you almost get angry. It’s akin to being outside in a tranquil spot of nature and having it ruined by a group of rowdy, inconsiderate people unaware of the raw splendor they could be witnessing.

If you’re looking to

give your kids some family-friendly nature education — without all the blood and guts that go along with living in the animal kingdom — then this is the movie for you. It should be easy enough for your kids to relate with the bears, and it should be easy enough for you to connect with the remarkable display of nature.

Sky High Players present 5 different murder mysteries This April, the Sky High Players will be presenting their annual spring plays, which will be a series of five different dinner theater murder mysteries.

Each murder mystery will be presented at 7 p.m. in the Little Theatre at Sky View High School. Each production includes dinner and tickets cost $17 online at www.skyviewtix.org and $25 at the door.

On April 18-19, the play “That’s the Way the Fortune Cookie Crumbles” will be presented. Student director Reston Godwin says, “The play is set in the American Embassy in China during World War II during the celebration of the Chinese New Year. It is an exciting play of international intrigue.”

On April 21-22, “Showdown at Gambler’s Gulch” will play to Wild West enthusiasts. “Gamblers Gulch is a seemingly quiet Western settlement. Just below the surface though there are lies, deceit, gun-slinging, gold-hustling and a very contentious town meeting,” reports Kelton Miller, student director of the show.

Easter Continued from Page 4 The text of this cantata begins where most other works leave off, at the resurrection of Jesus Christ and follows through to Christ’s ascension into heaven. The role of Mary will be sung

April 25-26 features the production, “Doomed on Desert’s Edge,” a play about college students and their professors embarking on a study of nature in the desert. Unfortunately, murder gets in their way. Peter Ahlstrom, assistant director, loves the characters and how real they are. “The cast has a lot of good chemistry; we have a lot of comedians,” he says.

“An Heir of Mystery,” playing April 28-29, is proof of the adage: “Where there’s a will, there are 400 relatives.”

Student director Tyler Dayley says, “My actors are so fun to watch. Several seem to be real experts at this type of theater. We’re having a great time!”

Finally, on May 19-20, “Space: The Fatal Frontier” will be presented by the Sky High Players. David Sidwell, drama teacher at Sky View High School and also director of this last production, indicates, “I can’t believe how much fun we’re having! The play is so fun, being sci-fi and all, and we are having a blast making it as amazing as it can be.”

Illusion Continued from Page 4 magic and illusions. By blending the theatrical elements of a broadwaystyle production with the high energy of a rock concert, these artists take their audience on a journey to the brink of impossibility ... and back again.

The Spencers have been described as “modern-day Houdinis” by critics.

In addition to the performance at the Ellen Eccles Theatre, the Spencers will be working at local schools during the week as part of their Hocus Focus program.

Hocus Focus is based on peer-reviewed research that has been presented at various international

education conferences.

It is a student-centered, experiential-learning program for students with varying degrees of educational challenges and abilities to support the learning of all students

including autistic, cognitive delayed, emotionally disturbed and learning disabled students. For more information about this program, visit www. hocusfocuseducation. com.

This year’s cantata will mark the 15th year that the work has been performed.

Depp isn’t playing his usual wacko character.

He’s toned down, and like most toned-down Depp roles, he appears to be coasting through it.

There are some decent ideas about technology and its inherent dangers. Conveying them effectively is a different story. The movie wallows around in Evelyn’s misplaced love for a machine, neglecting the meatier sci-fi aspects it tried so hard to build in the first place.

The last time I checked the Ibis coffee locator I saw that it is even forging its way eastward into places such as Lubbock, Texas, and Columbia, Mo. If you have been to any charity event in the valley you probably have seen his coffee or benefited from Ibis contributions. So, in respectful memory of Randy, have a cup of coffee, even if you don’t like or condone coffee, and toast one of the best people ever to grace Cache Valley.
