I’m not sure how to approach crafting a dish that might pass a panel of judges. So I’ve compiled a list of lessons learned from following the highly addictive cooking show television genre, featuring series such as “Iron Chef,” “Chopped,” “Top Chef” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” ➤ Choose simple ingredients and find a way to make them more interesting. If a soup can be made with chicken instead of scallops, do that; scallops are notoriously overused on “Top Chef.” ➤ Do not cook something you have never tried before. In the dessert category, my recipe book is limited to a handful of tried-and-true cookie recipes — none of which are adapted to high altitudes — a pound cake, caramel icing, brownies from a box, and cobbler.

Cobbler feels like the best option, unless pound cake with caramel icing makes a last-minute rally. ➤ Do not argue with the judges. This isn’t an issue at the North Routt Chili Cook-off, as there is no television audience to hold in suspense and no reason for contestant-to-judge interaction. Still, arguing never works. ➤ Don’t put something on the burner and then walk away for half an hour. This seems to happen all the time on Food Network. ➤ Don’t put bacon in dessert. Professional pastry chefs can pull it off. I can’t. Contest organizers hope for 70 entries in this year’s cook off, so there should be plenty of food available to be dished into small serving cups Sunday. Even so, be sure to get to Glen Eden within a half-hour or so of the 2 p.m. event start — a sunny day and hungry crowd wiped out several chili contestants’ dishes by about 4 p.m. last year.

ince being tapped as a judge for the seventh annual North Routt Chili Cook-off, I’ve been considering entering the contest. My judgments will be confined to the “other” category — a several-times-stated-in-print lack of an affinity for chili convinced contest organizers to keep my point-scoring focused on soups and stews. It’s hard to resist the temptation of being able to hear other judges’ comments on any dish I might decide to enter in the red chili, green chili or dessert brackets of the competition. Contestants in the liquid categories are required to be at Glen Eden Family Restaurant & Tavern in Clark at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, hauling no less than 6 quarts of chili or soup in a Crock-Pot. With no slow cooker at my disposal and a handy stockpile of cobbler recipes from my grandmother’s church cookbooks, I’m leaning toward the 40-serving requirement of the dessert category. Having never entered any kind of culinary competition,

Let’s Dance 5- and 6-year-old dance students, from left, Riley Jacobs, Grace Suddeth, Emily Romero, Brisa Karow and McKenna Waldron rehearse their “Big Underwear” dance piece during rehearsal at the Oak Creek dance studio Wednesday. The 16th annual Let’s Dance program is 7 p.m. Saturday at Soroco High School.

Dancing their hearts out South Routt studio members ready to perform in annual show Margaret Hair 4 Points

Each year in November, dance instructor Tamara Bereznak reserves the Soroco High School auditorium for a spring concert. The next six months are filled with weekly dancing, bonding and smiling for the South Routt residents who take classes at the Let’s Dance studio. On Tuesday evening, the nine women in Bereznak’s ladies jazz class ran through the steps of two dances: a Latin-influenced piece called “Mas Que Nada” and a Michael Jackson-inspired rendition of “Smooth Criminal.” When the curtain goes up on the 16th annual Let’s Dance program at 7 p.m. Saturday, those dances — along with 16 other pieces performed by classes ranging in age from preschool to adult — will display the effort Bereznak’s students have put in since classes started in September. “I look at the class when they enroll in September, and then I put a piece to them,”

Key points ➤ 16th annual Let’s Dance program ➤ 7 p.m. Saturday ➤ Soroco High School auditorium, Oak Creek ➤ $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and children ages 12 and younger ➤ Tamara at 736-2513

Bereznak said. The dances are tailored to the personalities of the people in the class — this year’s program includes pieces in a range of styles including jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, pre-ballet, creative and African, she said. Let’s Dance offers classes for children as young as 3 at its Main Street studio in Oak Creek. Trixie Romero, who will perform with the ladies jazz class and the adult tap class Saturday, has been coming to the studio for about five years with her daughters, 13-year-old Brittney and 6-year-old Emily. In that time, Romero — who hadn’t danced before joining the studio — said she’s overcome the initial nerves of being on stage.

Matt Stensland/4 Points

Let’s Dance students, from front, Riley Jacobs, Grace Suddeth and Brisa Karow dance during their last rehearsal Wednesday before Saturday’s show.

“I remember the first year I was so nervous I thought I was going to puke, and then the second year it was so much fun,” Romero said. At Tuesday’s rehearsal, Bereznak reminded the dancers to keep their smiles big and their joy at the forefront through the class’s “Smooth Criminal” routine, which includes the side-lean from Jackson’s famous music video.

Sixteen years into leading the South Routt dance studio, Bereznak said it’s the confidence and enjoyment she sees on stage that drives her to produce the Let’s Dance program year after year. “When you put them on stage and they’re in their smiles and they were listening and they’re so proud of what they’re doing — that’s my reward,” she said.

Pop punk group Superchick plays at 7 p.m. today at the Steamboat Christian Center. The group has released six records on the independent Christian music label Inpop.

‘Rock What You Got’ Superchick lends Christian message to pop punk Margaret Hair 4 Points

Superchick tours can tend to be a little in your face: The pop punk band often travels with a megaphone, riling audiences with energetic tunes laced with hip-hop and dance beats. But the tour that will bring the five-piece group to the Steamboat Christian Center at 7 p.m. today is a little more rounded, said Superchick guitarist and singer Melissa Brock. “There’s a lot of heart in this show, so I think it’s something that people would like to see and would like to hear. And parents especially, when fans are just crazy all the time, parents are going, ‘What else is there?’ … I think this tour gets to why we do what we do,” Brock said. Superchick — with Tricia

On scene Notes from around town

Making my first trips to not-so-new businesses Warm weather, for whatever reason, has the tendency to encourage me to go check out things in town that have been around for a while but that I haven’t made it into. In the past week, that’s meant visits to three Routt County businesses that aren’t exactly new — one has been open for 1 1/2 years, the second has been serving food for about a year, the third opened its doors at the beginning of April — but that offer new experiences to anyone who hasn’t stopped in: ➤ GGs Coffee Shop, Hayden: The perfect place to drink a $1 cup of medium roast coffee and use free wireless Internet access to get some writing done, GGs was relatively quiet when I was there Thursday. With a collection of comfortable furniture, tables roomy enough to use as a temporary desk and the smell of ham-and-cheese paninis in the air, the place is welcoming to regulars and to anyone passing through. ➤ Geeks Garage, above Cellar Liquors in downtown Steamboat Springs: After hearing a few recommendations from co-workers and talking about the business’s new menu with Geeks Garage and Cellar Liquors co-owner Lori Bourgeois last week, I went to the upstairs Lincoln Avenue computer café and lunch spot Wednesday. The short menu features about half a dozen sandwiches — on Wednesday, that list included a french dip, grilled roast beef and turkey with avocado and chipotle bacon mayonnaise — and a couple of salads. The Monte Cristo sandwich I ordered melted deli ham, Swiss cheese and chunky jam together on grilled bread; for $7, it came with a choice of carrots, grapes or chips. Tag on a Coke, and the total bill was less than $10. That kind of price tag is a rarity in Steamboat, and the one-woman restaurant operation reminded me of a sandwich shop I managed in college. Definitely worth a return trip. ➤ The Deep Steep, downstairs in Old Town Square, Steamboat: This seller of high-end dry teas opened April 6 on the bottom level of Old Town Square. The ladies of the Artists’ Gallery of Steamboat encouraged a visit as they talked up a pre-Mother’s Day high tea the gallery is planning for 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Inside the store, a wall of shelves holds tins of flavored black, green and other types of tea. You can buy in bulk to brew at home or get a to-go cup brewed in-store. I tried the peaches and cream green tea; it had a light flavor and likely would be delicious on ice. — Margaret Hair, 4 Points

Pottery with style Student ceramics exhibit features 3-D work with a personal touch Margaret Hair 4 Points

Students in Lisa Derning’s Level 2 pottery class have a choice at the beginning of the course: hone their skills at throwing ceramics on a wheel or practice building them by hand. They learn how to build large works at angles that will keep them from cracking in the kiln, and how to spin clay in line with the laws of physics — so it doesn’t flop over or flail off the pottery wheel. “They learn all of those building techniques in pottery 1, and in pottery 2 they really start to figure out their own design,” Derning said. A display of 3-D ceramics work by Derning’s Steamboat Springs High School pottery students opens with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. today at the Steamboat Springs Center for Visual Arts. The show, part of First Friday Artwalk, also features work by students at Soda Creek Elementary School, Strawberry Park Elementary School, Lowell Whiteman Primary School and Steamboat Springs Middle School. Titled “A Celebration of Steamboat Youth Art,” the show includes work in a range of media, said Center for the Visual Arts gallery assistant Gabrielle Savage. “We’ve got graphite portraits from the high schoolers, we’ve got some terrific stuff from Lowell Whiteman that’s really funky; we’ve got watercolor paintings, mixed media stuff. … It’s just a very interesting and colorful show — bold and colorful,” Savage said. Derning said her students contributed about 40 pieces to the show, which will be on display through the end of May. The exhibit gives students a chance to showcase the personal styles they’ve spent the semester developing, Derning said. “You’ll see a wide range of different styles. It’s more oriented at creating your own project,” she said. Derning tries to give all her advanced students a chance to get their work out of the school and available for public viewing; the Center for Visual Arts hosted the high school’s AP studio art students in March, and East West Frame Shop hosted a one-

Janet Borden hangs a student’s artwork at Depot Art Center on Wednesday afternoon. The Routt County Youth Art Show, presented by the Steamboat Springs Arts Council, opens at 5 p.m. today as part of First Friday Artwalk.

Showcasing student art Youth show highlights work by Routt County children Margaret Hair 4 Points

For a piece of student art to make the cut for the Routt County Youth Art Show, teacher Susan Koehler isn’t necessarily looking for something that meets class objectives. “They’re pieces that I have selected from work throughout the year,” said Koehler, who teaches art to Hayden High School students and eighthgraders from Hayden Middle School. “These are pieces that go beyond the exercise component, and I think just transcend that and become strong and interesting pieces on their own.” Hayden students contributed about 50 pieces to the Routt County Youth Art Show — presented by the Steamboat Springs Arts Council and opening with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Depot Art Center. The number of pieces each school gets to submit is based on its population, said Rachel Radetsky, events and facilities manager for the Arts Council. The show features work by stu-

dents from public and private elementary, middle and high schools in Steamboat Springs, Hayden, North Routt County and South Routt County. Koehler said her students don’t design their work with a youth art show spot in mind. But the recognition does provide motivation for those who get a chance to participate, she said. “We’re so small in Hayden, and we show art to ourselves, and this is an opportunity to take it out to the next level and to acknowledge some kids’ work in a different environment with some new people to enjoy it,” Koehler said. This year’s show has anywhere from 200 to 275 pieces of student work, making it one of the largest collections the Arts Council has received for the year-end exhibit, Radetsky said. “We have allowed schools to submit more pieces than they have in the past, which has been really great because there’s so much talent,” Radetsky said.

CD reviews

Various Artists and Ben Folds “Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella”

At some point, pianist, singer and music producer Ben Folds realized his pithy pop songs are like crack to college students. The trend, he found, was particularly strong with a booming number of campus a cappella groups who were rearranging and re-recording his tracks. “Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella” is a collection of 15 songs, culled from a call for submissions of

live a cappella performances via YouTube. The Ohio University Leading Tones contribute a strong rendition of the Ben Folds Five single “Brick,” with a lead vocal performance that could make any Folds fan feel like they haven’t heard this song 7,000 times. The group also adds a little R&B breakdown bridge, which comes off significantly less cheesy than it sounds. The Mosaic Whispers, from Washington University in St. Louis, lend a stirring, well-balanced version of the semi-depressing coming-of-age story “Still Fighting It.” “The Luckiest” becomes a musical theater ballad under another Washington University group, and “Magic” sounds like a Philip Glass variation when performed by The University of Chicago’s Voices in Your Head. “University A Cappella” has more variety — and vastly better singing — than the standard Ben Folds record, and it has

more consistency than the standard student group CD. If you like Ben Folds or a cappella, this compilation will be a fresh way to listen to them. If you don’t, this compilation will be maddening and should be skipped. Rating: ★★★ — Margaret Hair, 4 Points

Times” or “Love and Theft” (2001) — Bob Dylan has come down with a case of the blues. The Chicago blues, to be precise. “My Wife’s Home Town,” one of a few throwaway cuts, pulls so blatantly from Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You,” that the bass-playing Chess Records house songwriter is given a co-author credit. While “Together Through Life” has more than its share of tender moments, and Dylan remains, at heart, a romantic, his third self-produced studio album also delivers the nasty sting of love gone bad and hope denied. Increasingly, the now-68year-old Dylan makes music that outwardly has less and less to do with “modern times.” “Together Through Life” continues that trend, and it still demonstrates Dylan’s ability to make music that connects with a resonating past, while speaking to the here and now. Rating: ★★★★ — Dan DeLuca, MCT

Square dance after reception Green Ridge Mountaineers member Ann Root describes square dancing as “fun and friendship set to music.” Immediately following the Youth Art Show reception, the Tread of Pioneers Museum and the Green Ridge Mountaineers hope to share that description with a community square dance.

The dance starts with a demonstration by the Mountaineers, who normally meet Friday nights at the American Legion hall in Hayden. Group members range in age from junior high school students to octogenarians. After the demonstration, the floor will be open to dancers of all ages to join in. The event is in celebration of the Tread of Pioneers Museum’s

50th anniversary. Square dancing was popular in Steamboat Springs in the years leading up to the museum’s formation in 1959, said Tread of Pioneers Executive Director Candice Lombardo. Film footage of a 1951 Steamboat Springs square dance festival will be playing during the event. “We have been aware of that history and have had this film footage, so doing some sort of

square dance is something that we’ve had our eye on for a long time,” Lombardo said. The square dance includes free refreshments, giveaways and door prizes. It’s the first of a series of events celebrating the Tread’s anniversary, Lombardo said. The museum at Eighth and Oak streets has an exhibit showcasing its five decades of chronicling and preserving Routt County history.

Showtimes

‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Action, PG-13, 107 minutes

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” finally answers the burning question, left hanging after all three previous “Wolverine” movies, of the origins of Logan, whose knuckles conceal long and wicked blades. He is about 175 years old, he apparently stopped changing when he reached Hugh Jackman’s age, and neither he, nor we, find out how he developed such an interesting mutation. His half-brother was Victor (Leiv Schreiber). Their story starts in “1840 — the Northwest Territories of Canada,” a neat trick, since Canada was formed in 1867, and its Northwest Territories in 1870. But you didn’t come here for a history lesson. Or maybe you did, if you need to know that Logan and Victor became Americans (still before they could be Canadians) and fought side-by-side in the Civil War, World War I, World War II and Vietnam. Why they did this, I have no idea. Maybe they just enjoyed themselves. Booted out of the Army in Vietnam, Logan/Wolverine joined a secret black ops unit under Gen. Stryker (Danny Huston), until finally, in Nigeria, he got fed up with atrocities. Nevertheless, he was recruited by Stryker for a SUPER secret plan to create a mutant of mutants, who would incorporate all available mutant powers.

‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’ Romantic comedy, PG-13, 115 minutes

Whatever it is about Matthew McConaughey that so gets under some folks’ skin, he’s well-practiced at playing the cocksure ladies’ man, turning “Failure to Launch” and “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” into perfectly serviceable romances. “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” is the best of the bunch, a romantic “Christmas Carol.” Rating: ★★★

‘Obsessed’ Thriller, PG-13, 110 minutes

Whoever thought remaking “Fatal Attraction” as a PG-13 thriller was a good idea earns much of the blame for this laughably arch dud. As they stumble through the minefield of racial-sexual politics, the filmmakers strip the heat and most of the guilt away from a story that was salable in seven short words — “Beyoncé and

Logan (Hugh Jackman, left) and Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) face off for the ultimate battle against each other in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

Am I being disrespectful to this material? You bet. It is Hugh Jackman’s misfortune that when they were handing around superheroes, he got Wolverine, who is, for my money, low on the charisma list. He never says anything witty, insightful or very intelligent; his utterances are limited to the vocalization of primitive forces: anger, hurt, vengeance, love, hate, determination.

At least, you hope, he has an interesting vulnerability? I’m sure X-Men scholars can tell you what it is, although since he has the gift of instant healing, it’s hard to pinpoint. There is little dialogue, except for the snarling of threats, vows and laments, and the recitation of essential plot points. Nothing here about human nature. No personalities beyond those

hauled in via typecasting. No lessons to learn. No joy to be experienced. Just mayhem, noise and pretty pictures. I have been powerfully impressed by film versions of Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man and the Iron Giant. I wouldn’t walk across the street to meet Wolverine. Rating: ★★ — Roger Ebert

bangs, his dance moves and his dubbed singing voice. Rating: ★★★ — Roger Moore, MCT

‘Monsters vs. Aliens’

‘Crank: High Voltage’ Action, R, 86 minutes

Chev (Jason Statham) wakes up post-op, realizes he has an artificial heart (the original stolen by Chinese organ harvesters) and quickly learns that he needs to get his real heart back and that he has about an hour to do it, depending on stops for re-jolting a battery apparatus in his chest. Rating: ★★

‘17 Again’ Comedy, PG-13, 100 minutes

A teen-friendly comedy built on the hazards of unsafe high school sex, the life you live wondering “What could I have become?” had contraception or the A-word been an option at 17? Pretty edgy fare for Zac Efron (“High School Musical”), a guy known for his

‘The Soloist’ Drama, PG-13, 117 minutes

Jamie Foxx stars as a homeless street musician who is written about by a Los Angeles Times columnist (Robert Downey Jr.) and becomes an overnight celebrity. Rating: ★★★

Animation, PG, 95 minutes

Monsters from the 1950s are released from a secret federal prison to join the 49-foot, 11inch Ginormica (voice by Reese Witherspoon) in saving Earth from hostile aliens. Probably fun for younger kids, but it lacks the humor and personality of earlier DreamWorks films like “Shrek.” Rating: ★★★ — Roger Ebert

Thriller, PG-13, 127 minutes

‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’

Russell Crowe is a seasoned newspaper reporter and Rachel McAdams is the paper’s plucky young blogger; together, they uncover an unholy political and corporate alliance. Smart, well-made, good work by Crowe, McAdams, Robin Wright Penn and Helen Mirren as the editor. Rating: ★★★

“Hannah Montana: The Movie” just shouldn’t be analyzed from an adult perspective — which, frankly, is irrelevant. The big-screen version of the Disney TV series is not made for us — it’s made for girls ages 6 to 14 and no one else. Rating: ★★★ — Christy Lemire, AP

we don’t want it to be just us up there jumping around and being crazy — we want to see the crowd jumping and singing along. 4 POINTS: What kinds of things do you do to get the crowd involved? MB: Just a lot of your basic hand movements and some jumping. And then there is a song where Matt (Dally) does challenge the audience to a dance-off, so there is some actual dancing and some dance moves that we would like to see people break for us, whether that’s the ‘running man’ or a little break dance or some line dancing. 4 POINTS: How would you describe Superchick’s sound? It sounds like pop punk with dance music mixed in. MB: I think it’s kind of got

a pop punk, funk, hip-hopish, ’80s music kind of feel. I think it just comes from our backgrounds, because we all like different music. Like Matt, he grew up listening to a lot of hip-hop and harder music, and Trish (Brock) and I didn’t. Trish and I, we love the ’80s; we love Pat Benatar and that type of stuff, so we like to add stuff like that. And then Max (Hsu) has a very electronic dance background, and then Dave (Ghazarian) has a classical and jazz background. So we try to take as much of that as we can. 4 POINTS: How does all that work together? MB: What happens is you end up with an album that has a little bit of something for everybody. … Maybe we’ve even created our own genre, but I’m not even sure what you would call it.
