CALENDAR 15 See what’s happening this week

know it’s only 50 degrees outside most days, but in many ways it already feels like summer. I spent Saturday of last weekend at a house on the Bear Lake shore playing catch in the backyard and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. On Sunday, I went to a friend’s barbecue, and even though it was a little chilly, as long as the sun was out, we were happy to sit back and chow down on cheeseburgers, chips and cookies. When movie critic Aaron Peck sent me

his summer movie preview this week, it made me even more excited the summer season is pretty much upon us. Some of the big blockbusters will start coming out two weeks from now. Waiting in lines outside movie theaters is part of summer for me. It’s a social thing. Although I’m not a big fan of watching new films with screamers and clappers, I do like a full theater with my friends and a bunch of strangers who are just as excited for a film I am. Popcorn and a bunch of treats and drinks to pass back and forth completes the atmosphere for me. Ah, summer movies. This year I’m especially excited for “The Dark Knight Rises.” I don’t know

how many times I’ve watched its predecessor, but every time I do, I’m still amazed at Heath Ledger’s performance. In fact, writing about it now makes me want to go home and watch it this weekend. That movie is just so good. I’m also interested in “The Amazing Super-Man,” even if I think it’s a little early for a remake. I like that in Peck’s column this week he also shares several films that may go under the radar when (or if) they play in Cache Valley. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled. Happy early summer! I hope you have a good weekend. — Manette Newbold

Film festival under way For the first time in Northern Utah’s history, Logan will be home to the second largest independent film festival outside of the Salt Lake City metro area and the Sundance Film Festival. Organizers of recent past Logan film festivals—including the Fringe Film Festival and the Real 2 Reel Film Festival—have joined together to create the Logan Film Festival and in doing so, founded it as a new nonprofit organization. With the support of the Utah Film Commission and the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development, the Motion Picture Association of Utah and the Utah Film Center, Logan is positioning itself to become one of Utah’s filmmaking destinations. The Logan Film Festival, running April 20 and 21, is a celebration of independent cinema

and is dedicated to self-financed filmmakers. Young and emerging filmmakers were encouraged to enter. One festival pass for $8 gets patrons entrance into 16 featurelength films and two short film sets at three local venues: The Lyric Theatre, the Dansante Theatre and the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. The festival hub, located at the Dansante Theatre, 59 S. 100 West, is open to the general public and will be available for photo opportunities with actors and filmmakers. The opening reception and awards ceremony will also be open to the general public Friday and Saturday at the festival hub. Visit www.loganfilmfestival.com for film line-up, event schedule and ticket information. For more information, contact Gary Saxton at 435-7522161 ext. 4.

“It’s going to be a pretty lively show; a lot of fun work and a lot of fun artists to talk to. We’re more on the digital side, so we’re excited to show off our graphic design and photography.” – Joni Severe, on the BFA exhibition

Celebrate Earth Day in Logan on Saturday In partnership with Logan City and Stokes Nature Center, The Cache Valley Center for the Arts will present the second annual Earth Day Downtown on Saturday, April 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on 100 South (Between Main Street and 100 West). The Earth Day Downtown Street Festival will include entertainment, music, arts activities, food vendors, hands-on environmental activities and booths for local environment and sustainability groups. Local bands Sassafras, Uncommon Collective, Dry Lake Band, Tim Pearce & Ryan Boyce, Au Tus Nua, and Katie Jo will all perform throughout the day. The emphasis of this

event is to inspire people to participate, no matter how big or small. “We are excited to see this event develop into an annual celebration,” said Wally Bloss, executive director of the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “When it comes to the earth, we should all take the time to celebrate what we are doing right. It is a special day because our decisions today will have impact on our enjoyment of tomorrow.” For details about Earth Day Downtown, come by the CVCA (43 S. Main in Logan), visit www.CacheArts.org, or call 435-7520026. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Museum patrons can now view exhibits that include “Dine: Weaving a Tradition of Strength,” “Obsidian” and “Ice-Age Peopling of the Americas” in various languages including English, Spanish and Navajo. Throughout the Saturday activities, tours of the exhibits will be given in both Spanish and English and will take place every half hour between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn how to weave using a loom.

All are invited to view spring's evening sky as the Utah State University Observatory opens its doors to the public Friday, April 20, from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Admission is free. “We invite the Cache Valley community to enjoy views of the night sky from our state-of-theart facility,” says James Coburn, physics department teaching laboratory supervisor and USUO coordinator. “We’ll be looking at Mars and Venus, along with Saturn, that is rising, and Jupiter, that is setting. We’ll also look for the Orion Nebula.” Located on the roof of USU’s Science Engineering Research (SER) building, the observatory houses a 20-inch reflecting telescope on a computerized mount that yields clear, crisp images of faraway planets and deep space objects. The observatory’s unique, half-circle building, designed and constructed by USU Facilities, features a circular staircase that leads to the telescope gallery topped with a metal dome mea-

suring 16.5 feet in diameter. All attendees are encouraged to visit www.physics.usu.edu/observatory before arriving on public night, as the gathering will be cancelled in the event of cloudy or inclement weather. The observatory’s telescope is accessible by stairs only from the SER building’s roof.

Parking for the event is available in surface lots near the Performance Hall at 1090 E. 675 North on the USU campus. The SER building is southwest of the Performance Hall. To access the observatory, visitors should take the freight elevator located at the northwest corner of the first floor of the SER building to the roof.

The Intermediate Choir of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus is coming to Logan to perform a joint concert with the Cache Children’s Choir. The concert will be Saturday, April 21, at noon in the Logan Tabernacle. The concert is free and open to the public. The Intermediate Choir will also sing Sunday, April 22, at St. John’s Episcopal Church as part of their 9 a.m. service. The Cantate Choir, the auditioned choir in Cache Children’s Choir directed by Dr. Sylvia Munsen, will host the LACC singers in their homes. “It’s a great way to get to know each other,” said Jill DeVilbiss, associate conductor of the Cantate Choir. “We have a very social group of singers. They love meeting others who are as passionate about singing as they are.” The Intermediate Choir is one of six choirs in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus. Founded in 1986, the chorus has more than 350 choristers in the six choirs. The Intermediate Choir tours regionally and has been to San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Portland. This is their third time to tour in Utah. They visited Salt Lake City in 1999 and Logan in 2004. In March 2001, they participated in an international children’s choir festival in Vancouver, B.C. The singers range in age from 9 to 15. Their director is Mandy

Carl Orff music to be performed Tuesday The Utah State University Department of Music presents “The Monastery ... After Hours” on Tuesday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m., in the Kent Concert Hall. The University Chorale, along with the Caine Percussion Ensembles, will perform Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana” among other works. “‘Carmina Burana’ is a dramatic arc of humanity, depicting secular topics familiar to audiences throughout the centuries,”

said Michael Huff, director of the University Chorale and Special Operations in the Caine College of the Arts. “The work begins with the bemoaning of fickle fate, explodes into a joyous celebration of drink, love and lust, and ends with the bemoaning of fate once more.” “Carmina Burana” is based on a collection of 13th century songs found in a German monastery. The songs were the work of a roving band of monks and clerics called

the Goliards, well-known for their drinking and debauchery. They were also known for their attitude of “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” “Carmina Burana” is about drinking, sex, love and the overbearing burden of fate. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and youth, $5 for USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information and tickets, visit arts.usu.edu.

“Narnia,” the musical version of C.S. Lewis’s classic “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” comes to life April 26 through 28 in the Dansante building. The production will be staged by two separate casts of 30 youth each. Performers range in age from 7 to 19 and are students of the Utah Festival Conservatory of the Performing Arts. Michael Ballam, who is a child at heart, guest stars as Aslan the lion. “What makes this project such a great challenge, as well as such an important show for our students to tackle, is the sheer breadth of imagination it demands,” said Stefan Espinosa, director and Conservatory supervisor. “There are many themes throughout: courage, self-empowerment, faith and personal accountability, but the overarching message is one of limitless imagination.” Children of all ages are welcome to attend. “Narnia” will last just under two hours, including intermission. The show plays April 26 and 27 at 5:30 and 8 p.m., and April 28 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 12 and younger. The recital hall holds 100 people and all performances are expected to sell out. Visit the Dansante box office at 59 S. 100 West or visit www.utahfestival.org for tickets. Call 750-0300 ext. 106 for more information.

Eccles Ice Center. Come watch local skaters, along with guest skater Camille Davis, perform to songs from around the world.

It’s about time for summer blockbusters The summer movie season will officially kick off the first weekend in May when one of the summer’s biggest and most anticipated movies hits theaters. That’s right, “The Avengers” is finally here. Along with “The Avengers,” there are plenty of other superhero movies to look forward to this summer. Comic book heroes usually take over the summer box office, and while the genre can be exciting, there are other, lesser-known films that you may want to familiarize yourself with in the coming months.

“The Avengers” (May 4) – The people at Marvel have been working toward this movie for years. We’ve seen movies about The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Thor, all leading up to the moment where they all come together. I’m excited to see this movie, but have reservations at the same time.

excited about their newest animated adventure. Coming up with original tales and characters is Pixar’s forte, and after a couple years of sequels, it’ll be nice to see them get back to original storytelling. “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” (June 22) – Just going by the title alone, how can you not be excited? “The Amazing SpiderMan” (July 6) – More superheroes. This time it’s a reboot though. It was just 2007 when we got “Spider-Man 3” and now they’ve figured that the series needs to start over again. I can’t say I’m really excited about seeing the story of Peter Parker told again, but

Summer comedies

“Dark Shadows” (May 11) – This movie could’ve gone in the blockbusters section also. A new Depp-Burton movie is always a draw at the box office, but coming out a week after “The Avengers” might hurt its chances of making big money. Also, people might have vampire fatigue, even though the movie actually looks quite funny. “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” (May 18) – This star-studded comedy about a bunch of women waiting for babies and a bunch of men dealing with fatherhood could either be as funny as “Knocked Up” or as atrocious as other ensemble cast comedies like “New Year’s Eve.” “The Dictator” (May 18) – Performance actor Sacha Baron Cohen is up to his old tricks again. He’s created a new character who just so happens to be an ego-maniac dictator. If you’re a fan of his comedy, then you’ll probably want to catch this one when it comes out. “Piranha 3DD” (June 1) – No really, they made another one. If you liked

“Safety Not Guaranteed” (June 8) – I saw this little comedic gem at Sundance. It’s categorized as a comedy, but there is a heavy helping of drama to go along with the laughs. It’s a near-perfect film that features a recluse who looks for a person to time travel with by placing an ad in the newspaper’s classifieds section. “Your Sister’s Sister” (June 15) – This is another movie I saw at Sundance. I found out around 80 percent of the movie was completely improvised dialogue from the actors, which is astonishing once you see the finished product. Keep an eye out for this dramedy starring Emily Blunt. “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” (June 22) – It’s got a well-known cast, but this movie comes out the same weekend as “Brave” and “Abraham Johnny Depp is shown in a scene from “Dark Shadows.” Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” so it’s sure to be tor was “Fantastic Mr. overlooked.

I do like director Marc Webb’s work in “(500) Days of Summer.” “The Dark Knight Rises” (July 20) – This has got to be the undisputed big movie of the summer. It’s so highly regarded that if you go to IMDB.com and check out what’s coming out that weekend, it’s the only movie listed. All the studios know anything going up against Batman is going to get absolutely crushed at the box office.

CAPTURING d e s i g n 2012 Bachelor of Fine Arts exhibition

n the final stretch of the 2011-12 school year at Utah State University, graduating graphic design and photography seniors will present their work at the annual Bachelor of Fine Arts exhibition. The BFA Show, called “Capture Design,” will showcase each student’s style in designing logos, business systems, posters and websites. These works will be on display April 20 starting at 4 p.m. in the Bullen Center, 43 S. Main St. “The show will give viewers an idea of how design can work for them,” said senior web design student Matt Hales in a press release. “Our work shows how design can affect many different aspects of everyday life.” The combination of the graphic design and photography majors, totaling 42 students, will make 2012 one of the biggest BFA exhibitions ever. “There are so many mediums to show it’s better for students to break it up into different sections,” said graphic design senior and exhibition organizer Joni Severe. The students all worked under the supervision and advisement of Alan Hashimoto, professor of art and design at USU. “I think they did a great job; they’re ready to go,” Hashimoto said. “We like to do this because we invite a lot of professionals from the community and Salt Lake City who come up and view the work, so the students have possibilities with internships and jobs.” The exhibit will coincide as a larger part of the Logan Film Festival which is screening independent films April 20 and 21 at three local venues: The Caine Lyric Theatre, the Dansante building and the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. Films will be chosen by a professional jury.

Due to the fact that the photography and graphic design departments will join forces for the first time, there have been new projects. Both departments teamed up to re-brand several businesses downtown. The businesses were: Belle Bridal, The Kater Shop, Stork’s Landing, Beehive Grill, Poco Loco, Norda’s, Salon Que and Indian Oven. The two departments have also teamed up with the design/landscape architecture department to redesign Logan’s 100 North Street block. Work from these projects will be displayed at the Thatcher House and the Logan Fine Arts Center respectively. “Gary Saxton, the president of the Logan Downtown Alliance approached our departments and proposed to us this challenge: To make 100 North a pedestrian-friendly place that would foster growth of the businesses currently there and to attract more business to the area,” said Ali Davis, a USU student and BFA public relations manager. The exhibition at the Bullen Center will feature catering from local restaurants and live music. “There’s a lot of students and a lot of work to show, and I think that will make this year a lot more interesting,” Severe said. “It’s going to be a pretty lively show; a lot of fun work and a lot of fun artists to talk to. We’re more on the digital side, so we’re excited to show off our graphic design and photography.” Last year an estimated 600-700 people attended the exhibition. “People who have been going to Utah State or people outside the university can see what a great program we have. There are a lot of really talented artists here. It really helps the connection between the campus and the community,” Severe said.

My 6-year-old threw me a zinger the other day after school. “Mom, is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?” “Well ...” “WRONG, it's a FRUIT!” Zing. I'll bet more than one of you have been zinged by this question. He's right of course. Botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit. The answer has nothing to do with what kind of plant the tomato comes from, but instead from what part of the plant a tomato is. Nearly every plant has a fruit – it is a strategy the plant uses to produce baby plants to toddle around the living room on a cold win-

Fruit, veggie or tuber? Let’s talk botany

ter's evening. A fruit is the swollen, sweet ovary of the plant – it is composed of seeds and the tissue surrounding them. Not only is a tomato the fruit of a tomato plant, the cucumber is the fruit of a cucumber plant, and the pumpkin is the fruit

of the pumpkin plant and so on. The same is true of green beans, zucchini, chile peppers and walnuts, as well as more familiar fruits like apples, blueberries and kumquat. They are all (botanically speaking) fruit. If it has a seed, it is a fruit. “So what then, is a vegetable?” you may ask. Good question. A vegetable, botanically speaking, is a plant we raise for food. We eat

the leaves, stalk, roots, shoots, pods, flowers, tubers, and any other part of the vegetable plant that is tender enough, has a high enough sugar content, isn't poisonous, and happens to taste good. Spinach and Swiss chard are leaves. Celery is a stalk. Vegetables like potatoes are technically tubers, not roots, meaning that they are specially designed plant structures which store

nutrients. When we eat broccoli, we are eating the flower. Asparagus are shoots. Some parts of the plant that we traditionally eat for dessert, like rhubarb, are actually a stalk and are therefore a vegetable. The real key to telling the difference between fruits and vegetables is knowing whether or not the plant wants you to eat it. To paraphrase the words of author Jeffrey Steingarten, a fruit is an ovary that

wants to be eaten, (as much as a plant can want). Fruits ripen in order for plants to send their offspring into the world. The fruit's color converts to eyecatching red, yellow, purple or orange to distinguish itself from the green foliage of the plant. It starts to broadcast a complicated mouthwatering chemical potpourri to attract animals through their noses. The sweet sugar levels peak. The

flesh loses its bitterness and gets soft and chewable. Plants cause all this to happen in an attempt to get their seeds into the stomach of a creature more ambulatory than themselves. Vegetables, on the other hand, don't want to be eaten. It doesn't assist plant propagation in any way to have a stalk or two amputated, or leaves denuded. That is why we don't have to wait for the chemical “eat me” message of ripeness in vegetables like we do with fruit. We just chop them down and hack them into pieces for our stuffing recipe before they get too fibrous and bitter from age. But honestly, how useful is all this botanical-speak? Sorry botanists, but if we classified food based on plant structure at the grocery store, mayhem, chaos, and grocery cart pile-up would certainly ensue. Grocers have discovered a better way, culinarily speaking. They put plant foods that are juicy and higher in sugar content in one section, and those that are more savory and lower in sugar content in another. Brilliant. This way would-be eaters can browse the “vegetable” section to find what is for dinner (caramelized eggplant parmesan), then head on over to the “fruit” section and decide what is for dessert (pineapple upside-down cake). “But won't he be flummoxed,” you ask, “if you hand a grocer a fruit that is small, hard

and dry?” Another good question. You are likely thinking of the fruit of the wheat, rice or oat plants. No, he would not be flummoxed. He would simply take your small, hard, dry fruit over to another part of the store he affectionately calls the “grain section.” Grains are still fruit, to be sure, but since they store well, are

starchy, and have low sugar content, they are processed into longerlasting shelf-stable items like flour, oatmeal and fruit loops. Beans, seeds and nuts are also the reproductive part of the plant. But since they are grown differently, are cooked differently, store differently, and have their own unique taste and texture, grocers have put them in their own sections of the store. Very convenient. Thank you, grocers. Now you know. So next time your 6-yearold queries about the botanical origin of the tomato, you can zing him right back. Feedback can be sent to laelgilbert@hot mail.com.

Richmond author publishes werewolf series By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Ashley Christensen, author of “Daughter of the Moon” and “Son of the Night,” said her novels just sort of spilled out on the pages of her notebook. “I’m always writing,” she said, and usually about vampires. But for “Daughter of the Moon” and “Son of the Night,” Christensen decided to take on werewolves. And although she’s written several books in the past, these were the first she published because she really liked the story. Both novels can be purchased together as one volume, and they are the first two of a four-part series. In “Daughters of the Moon,”

Zar Lucian has been the alpha in a werewolf pack for 100 years and he’s about to step

down to let his daughter, Zora, take over. She, however, is unsure if she is ready. When her parents leave for a while to a neighboring vampire territory, she must learn to protect her family and herself form the threat of an outsider pack. “Son of the Night” tells the story of Maddox Mist, a vampire prince whose family protects the Lucians after they ask for help. As he develops feelings for Zora, he must decide what is most important as danger approaches. Can he remain the vampire prince and protect the Lucians without giving in to his feelings? Christensen self-published her books together through E-BookTime last September. She said they each took

New author hopes book will incite laughter By Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

There’s one simple thing Kari Rich wants readers to get out of her book: A good laugh. “I wanted it to be really fun and really relatable,” Rich said of “Heaven Help Us!” which came out March 1. “There are a few little life lessons in there, but I want (readers) to relax and laugh and enjoy it. It’s a humorous book for sure.” Rich shares several essays and stories about her life, family and experience as a wife and mother. The collection ranges from being in the PTA to getting attacked by a hawk on her bike. Her book also incorporates a bit of Mormon culture since Rich is a member of the religion. “It does have LDS themes in it, but it’s definitely not all LDS,” she said. “Because that is my faith, it’s in there, but (the book) is really relatable for anyone. Most stories are not religious at all.”

Rich graduated in English from Utah State University and said she has always liked to write. When she started raising children, she began writing her experiences as humorous anecdotes. Over the years, she’s participated in writing workshops at USU, BYU and UVU and occasionally submitted her work to magazines and publishers. Her work has been printed in a few magazines, and online. “Heaven Help Us!” was accepted by Covenant Communications last July and then Rich was assigned an editor who worked on the book with her for about three months until they were both happy with the final product. “Heaven Help Us!” is now available at Deseret Book, Seagull Book and as an e-book on Amazon. Rich said seeing her book on the shelves is exciting because that was one of her liftime goals. “It’s nice to have it come about after so many years of

about a month or two to write depending on how often she had time. She would compose her stories in a notebook, then transfer them to a laptop as she saved money to get published. Christensen, 22, currently works at LD’s Cafe in Richmond and is a student at Utah State University. She plans to publish the third and fourth books in the series together as a second volume this June. When publishing “Daughter of the Moon” and “Son of the Night,” Christensen said she did try other publishing companies, but the two contracts she was offered cost too much. So, she decided to go with self-

publishing through E-BookTime and now her books can be purchased through www.ebooktime.com, www.amazon. com, www.barnesandnoble. com and at Hastings. Christensen said she’s had good response from readers so far, but is unsure how many books she’s sold. She would recommend her novels for teens to young adults. For those who would also like to publish their own books, Christensen said they should keep writing and never give up. “It can be done, but don’t give up just because you don’t think it will do well,” she said.
