Logan FilmFestival

a celebration of 48 films in 3 days

An acquaintance of mine from long ago absolutely loved two things: movies and baseball. But for some bizarre reason, he absolutely despised all baseball movies.

I didn’t understand that at the time. And I still don’t.

Sure, there are some very bad baseball movies. “The Scout” immediately comes to mind because we’re supposed to believe that Brendan Fraser manages to strike out 27 batters on 81 pitches in the World Series and hits two home runs in a 2-0 vic-

tory. Seriously? But there are some great baseball films

out there, and in the spirit of Opening Day next week, here are some of my personal favorites in no particular order:

• “Field of Dreams” — It’s really not going to work for you unless you feel like America, baseball and religion are all somehow intertwined.

• “Pride of the Yankees” — Tearjerker starring Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig has to be the first classic baseball film.

• “Major League” — Bob Uecker’s lines will live forever, and apparently so will Charlie Sheen’s attempts to live up to the nickname of his “Wild Thing” char-acter.

• “The Natural” — The soundtrack alone makes this worth watching.

• “Eight Men Out” — Some of the best baseball ever played in a movie.

• “A League of Their Own” — Jon Lovitz is hilarious, and Tom Hanks deliv-ered the immortal: “There’s no crying in baseball.”

• “Bull Durham” — I grew up in a town with minor league baseball ... and I had no idea what really goes on in minor league baseball.

• “The Sandlot” —This is the baseball movie you can’t wait to show your kids when they get old enough.

“It’s an entire alien invasion conducted by an alien force whose best offense is encir-cling a human hoping they don’t run away.”

– Cache Magazine movie critic Aaron Peck on “The Host” (Page 7)

Available for adoption

Pet: JerryFrom: Four Paws RescueWhy he’s so lovable: Jerry is a quiet, gentle cat who would love to be in a one-cat household (although his recent foster home has other cats and dogs, and he has been doing very well). He will watch you and want to be nearby until he has adjusted to being in a new home. Jerry is not crazy about most treats, but will eat Greenies. Once he has warmed up to his new family, you will find him wanting to sit next to you to watch TV, or lay on your feet when you sleep. If you would like to meet Jerry, please call Sheri at 787-1751. The adoption fee for this cat is $75, which covers his neuter surgery and up-to-date vaccinations.

Whitney Ferwerda wrote and illustrated the children’s book “Ballerina Boots.”

‘Ballerina Boots’ hits homeLocal artist and author takes aim at acceptance By Jeff HunterCache Magazine editor

I hope some day my boots won’t scare them anymore. Until then, I willkeep going and try my best. At least I can finally walk in shoes that feel good.

The ballerina in the book is never given a name, making it easier for the reader to put herself or himself in the place of the little dancer who finds that she prefers to perform in big boots rather than “squishy satin slip-pers” — a comfortable concept for the small girl that the majority of the

“tall people” simply refuse to acknowledge as being acceptable. Illustrated and written by first-time author Whitney Ferwerda, “Ballerina Boots” is a children’s book created to present a universal mes-sage to people of all ages. “I think it’s important that everybody knows they are special and important, and it’s OK to be just the way you are — quirks and all — and that life is about your best you, not trying to fit into someone else’s mold,” Ferwerda explains.

“Our diversity is a beauti-ful thing that allows us to learn and adapt and see new perspectives.”

“The challenge comes in how we deal with those dif-ferences,” the 26-year-old continues. “Are we asking ourselves: Am I putting up walls or excluding by mak-ing the argument that I’m right and you’re wrong? Or am I willing to listen and learn, and looking for com-mon ground that opens up new dialogue and relation-ships? Is my focus my own ideologies, or what allows us to move forward together in a positive direction?

“Whether we come out on the same page or not, I would challenge everyone, myself included, to make the focus about being in fel-lowship with those around us, appreciating each other no matter our differences.” Ferwerda describes herself as “pretty much a Cache Valley native,” hav-ing moved her from Seattle when she was 9 years old. She attended Logan High School, where she was heavily involved in

art, music and theater, and graduated from Utah State University in 2010 in inter-disciplinary studies, essen-tially ending up with double majors in art and women in gender studies. As part of her final proj-ect, Ferwerda was required to combine her two pur-suits under the guidance of her professor, Brenda Cooper, and came up with the concept of a ballerina

ALL MIXED UPUSU delivers Austen’s ‘Emma’ Performances of Jane Austen’s famous story of misinterpreted romance “Emma” will continue at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 29, and Saturday, March 30, in the Morgan Theatre in the Chase Fine Arts Center on the Utah State University campus. Presented by USU’s Department of Theatre Arts, there will also be a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $13 adults, $10 seniors and youth, $8 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For tickets and more information, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B in the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu. “‘Emma’ is almost 200 years old but is still so relevant today,” Jackson says. “It’s a terrific story full of the crazy mistakes, love triangles and misunder-standings we all experi-ence when love is in the air.”

Young, headstrong Emma Woodhouse believes she has a special talent for matchmaking, but where the affections of others and her own heart are concerned she is charmingly clueless. Jane Austen’s cherished romantic comedy of small

Four Seasons Theatre Company proudly pres-ents Michael McLean’s inspiring oratory “The Garden” at 7:30 p.m. April 8 to 11, in the Sky View High School Auditorium. From the creator of “The Forgot-ten Carols” comes this Easter musical allegory

The basic premise of

“The Garden” is: What could we learn about life, about ourselves, about the nature of repentance, faith, hope and love if the Garden of Gethsemane were to tell the story? This unique musical allegory is like nothing heard before — blending the right melodies, symbols,

lyrics and orchestral elements on their pal-ette and spreading them across an outstanding musical canvas includ-ing songs: “The Man With Many Names,” “I Can’t Grow” and “ The Breath of Spring.”

The production fea-tures many talented local performers such as Josh

Jacobs as the Man with Many Names, Whitney Wade as the Olive Tree, Nathan Allen as the Land-lord, Chloe Hansen as The Seedling, Craig Winder as the Millstone, and Jon and Kody Rash as the Ram and the Gardener.

“The Garden” will do for Easter what “The Forgotten Carols” has

done for Christmas — provide celebrants with a comforting, personal experience with the Sav-ior’s love through music and song.

Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door and are available at fourseasonstheatre.org or by calling 770-9763. Group rates are available.

Easter-themed ‘Garden’ comes to Sky View

Utah State University’s Department of Music presents the Caine Cham-ber Ensembles at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4, in the USU Performance Hall. The performance is free and open to the public. “Chamber performance is much more difficult as there are fewer play-ers and a much higher degree of accountability from each member,” says Max Matzen, assistant professor of trumpet in the Caine College of the Arts. “I always think these chamber performances are a very clear indicator of what our students are capable of.” The performance is an annual spring concert, featuring the Caine Brass Quintet, Caine Horn Quartet, Caine Percus-sion Ensemble, Caine Saxophone Quartet and Caine Woodwind Quintet. The music of 20th cen-tury composers, includ-ing Astor Piazzolla, Ivan Trevino and Alfred Reed, will be performed. The Caine Chamber Ensembles are composed of students who audi-tioned for the different groups at the beginning of the semester. All mem-bers of the ensembles are awarded a scholarship, provided by the Marie Eccles Caine—Russell family. For more information, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

Artist Cup at Mtn. CrestThe Young Artist Cup Committee, in association

with Mountain Crest High School’s Performing Arts Department, will present the 14th annual Young Art-ist Cup Competition at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 11, and Friday, April 12, in the school auditorium.

The piano performances will be Thursday evening and the vocal and instrumental performances will be Friday evening. Admission is free and everyone is invited.

This annual event showcases the musical talents of Mountain Crest students. Students compete for cash prizes and trophies in six areas: graphic arts design, female vocalist, male vocalist, strings, brass/winds/percussion and piano. Awards will be given to first-, second-, and third-place winners in each category.

As in year’s past, the logo for this year’s Young Artist Cup was selected from submissions by stu-dents in a competition held earlier in the year. The design by Noelle Baer of Providence was chosen to represent the 2013 Young Artist Cup. Baer will receive a trophy and cash prize for her work.

Saturdays at the MuseumExplore weaving traditions from around the world

at the next “Saturdays at the Museum” event at Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology. Activi-ties are March 30 at the museum. Patrons are invited to join the museum as it unveils its recently updated

“Traditional Weaving” teaching trunk. Visitors can also tour the museum’s Peruvian and

Navajo textile exhibits and participate in activities that include weaving on miniature looms and creat-ing quilt designs with crayons and markers.

“Weaving and quilting function simultaneously as art and examples of material culture,” says Randi Martin, a museum assistant. “Different cultures have varying patterns, styles and methods of weaving and quilting. Every textile tells a story.”

The USU Museum of Anthropology can be found on the USU campus in the south turret of the histor-ic Old Main building, room 252. Admission is free. For more information visit anthromuseum.usu.edu.

Celtic Night in Montpelier Celtic Night featuring folk band Leaping Lulu and select dancers from the Inishfre Irish Dance Company will be performing Friday, April 12, at the Allinger Community Theatre in Montpelier, Idaho, as part ofthe 2013 concert series for the National Oregon/Cali-fornia Trail Center. Dinner is at 6 p.m. followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. Dinner concert tickets are now on sale for $35 fea-turing a dinner choice of prime rib or Irish-themed Dublin Haddock. Show only tickets are available for $15 each. For ticket sales or other information about upcoming theater and center events, visit the National Oregon/California Trail Center, call (208) 847-3800 or visit www.oregontrailcenter.org.

USU musicians to perform BachUtah State University faculty,

staff and students join members of the American Festival Cho-rus and a number of early music specialists to present Bach’s “B Minor Mass” at 7:30 p.m. Satur-day, March 30, in the USU Perfor-mance Hall.

“Of all the many compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, the ‘B Minor Mass’ represents a combi-nation of his musical genius and a statement of his devout Christian faith,” says Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts and

conductor of the performance. “To bring this great musical creation to USU and to the citizens of this region is a great honor.”

Johann Sebastian Bach com-piled the “B Minor Mass” in the final years of his life. Many of the sections in the mass come from Bach’s residence in Leipzig where he lived for almost 30 years, serv-ing as the city’s director of choir and music.

“Reworking many earlier com-positions to create ‘B Minor Mass,’ Bach took the best examples from

his compositional career and com-bined them into a work that stands as a monument to his skill and, perhaps, to his conception of the divine,” says Christopher Scheer, assistant professor of musicology in the Department of Music.

The work is a full Catholic mass, divided into four sections — first,

“Kyrie and Gloria”; second, “Sym-bolum Nicenum” or “Credo”; third, “Sanctus”; and fourth,

“Osanna, Benedictus and Agnus

Lewis coming to Logan

The Bridger Folk Music Society pres-ents a concert with singer-songwriter Bernice Lewis at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, 291 S. 300 West.

Tickets are $13 and are available via PayPal at www.bridgerfolk.org, by call-ing 757-3468, or you take your chances at the door. Seating is limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

With three decades of performing fes-tivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, col-leges, and house concerts, along with a half dozen acclaimed CDs, Bernice Lewis has built a solid national fan base. She is also a published poet, a producer and an educator extraordinaire.

Lewis — who studied vocal impro-visation with Bobby McFerrin, guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser, and songwriting with Rosanne Cash and Cris Williamson

— has been a featured performer on NPR’s Mountain Stage program, as well as at the Kennedy Center.

“For me, it’s about the songs, each different, each a well thought out mes-sage, each a labor of love,” Lewis says.

Her most recent CD “She Undoes” was recorded in Nashville and pro-duced by Grammy Award winner Char-lie Chadwick. It features a duet with fellow singer-songwriter Cliff Eber-hardt and a jazzy a cappella version of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” in addition to a collection of originals.

Folk singer will perform April 6

Veteran singer-songwriter Bernice Lewis is slated to perform at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread on Saturday, April 6.

What should be a hilarious, long-overdue pairing of two huge-ly likable, superstar comedians ends up being a major disappoint-ment. As much film and television work as they do individually, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd surprisingly never have worked together. In theory, her smart, zingy persona should mesh beautifully with his easygoing goofiness — or their shared dynamic should bounce, or snap, or have some sort of life to it. Instead, Paul Weitz’s direc-tion of Karen Croner’s script is tonally erratic: too fast in spots and too much of a slog in oth-ers. It certainly doesn’t help that the characters feel like types without much nuance. Even reli-able comic veterans like Fey and Rudd can’t find much that’s new or fresh in these people, and as a result they have zero chemistry with each other. Fey, as a Princ-eton University admissions officer, is always uptight, precise and emotionally closed-off. Rudd, as

the do-gooder founder of an alter-native New England high school, is always free-spirited, adventur-ous and open-minded. Even in the fantasy world of romantic comedies where opposites attract and sparks fly, these two have no business being together. Nat Wolff plays the odd, brilliant stu-dent who may be the son Fey’s character put up for adoption as a newborn and Lily Tomlin provides the film’s few moments of joy as Fey’s maverick feminist mother.

Still playingIf a big, dumb action movie knows

it’s a big, dumb action movie and revels in that fact, is that prefer-able to a big, dumb action movie making the mistake of thinking it’s significant, relevant art? That’s the question to ponder here — if you can think straight and your ears aren’t ringing too badly. This sequel of sorts to the 2009 blockbuster “G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra” seems to have some cheeky fun with itself, from Bruce Willis cheerily revealing the arsenal he’s hiding in his quiet suburban home to RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan essentially show-ing up and playing himself. A major city is obliterated with the touch of a button and several others are in peril as the world hinges on nuclear destruction in what amounts to a hammy game of chicken. Noth-ing matters really. This is a movie based on a Hasbro toy, after all

— it’s all spectacle and bombast. But at least “G.I. Joe” is aware of its vapidity compared to, say, last week’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” in

which North Korean terrorists took over the White House in self-serious fashion, but our Secret Service agent-hero found time to make wedged-in, smart-alecky quips on the way to saving the day. That’s not to say that this “G.I. Joe” is good, aside from a couple of daz-zling action set pieces, but at least it’s efficient in its muscular mind-lessness.

‘Host’ with the most? Not even close

Alien invasion mov-ies are rarely defining cinematic experiences. More often than not they’re excuses for big-budget computer animation to run ram-pant while explosions destroy famous earthling landmarks. While those kinds of alien movies are usually pretty dumb, some of them can be quite fun. Then you have

“The Host,” based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer, which is dumber on a completely differ-ent scale. This is a phony love story wrapped up in an even phonier science fiction flick.

Aliens have invaded earth. They take over bodies “Body Snatchers” style. Yet, one wonders how an alien race, which is described as supremely benevolent, takes over an entire species like humans. What do they gain? See, these aliens, whom appear to be large glowing amoebas, don’t use any kind of weaponry. Yet somehow they’ve been able to almost com-pletely take control of every human body. And once they’re in control of a human’s body, they never pick up a gun. They never act violently. They simply surround other humans hoping to grab them.

It’s an entire alien inva-sion conducted by an alien force whose best

offense is encircling a human hoping they don’t run away.

But if these aliens are so kind, generous and compassionate why are they taking over humans in the first place? Stephanie Meyer’s idea of a conquering force of loveable beings is laugh-able. What they’re doing is in complete contradic-tion to what they are (or what they’re supposed to be).

The problem is that the story doesn’t even know what it wants the aliens to be, since the entire plot is a not-so-subtle plot to create the “Twi-light” love triangle with a slight twist.

Melanie Stryder (Sao-irse Ronan) is one of the last remaining humans

– all the others couldn’t

escape the deft-grabbing techniques employed by this super alien race. One night on a supply run Melanie and her little brother are caught. They’re trapped. When Melanie tries to lead the captors away from her brother, she’s captured and inseminated with one of these life forms. Only, she’s not com-

pletely dead. The life form, which calls itself Wanderer, takes over her bodily functions and brain activity, yet some-where inside Melanie is alive.

Yes, the entire 125 minutes of this movie is spent with Saoirse Ronan having laugh-worthy conversations with herself. Wanderer and Melanie both fall in love with different guys. The whole alien invasion plot is simply there to set the stage for another over-cooked, Meyer teenage love triangle.

This isn’t even decent sci-fi. The movie’s idea of cutting-edge science fiction ideas is throwing mirrored chrome plating

on cars, motorcycles and helicopters used by the aliens. Oh, and all of the alien-infused bodies dress in all white because it looks oh-so-futuristic.

“The Host” is an absolute chore of a movie to endure. It’s lifeless on every front. Even with a crowd full of Meyer fans, the screening was filled with awkward laughter during moments that were supposed to be dead serious. It’s the same kind of over-wrought ridiculousness that the “Twilight” movies were guilty of. It’s all soap opera fluff without any real substance. The teenag-ers pine for each other, but that’s all they do is pine. There’s no real emotion here. It’s all so superficial.

The movie manages to botch two genres: an alien invasion movie and a roman-tic drama. After that there’s really not much left other than two hours of longing gazes and idiotic internal dialogue.

Film based on novel by ‘Twilight’ author fails to connect

For those interested in movies and filmmaking, last weekend was a full smorgasbord of events in

downtown Logan.The second annual Logan Film

Festival wrapped up Saturday night with films at the Dansante Building and the Caine-Lyric Theatre. Those two sites were busy as 48 dramatic, animated and documentary films were screened.

A year ago the LFF was a two-day event; this year it encompassed three days. There is hope the event will continue to grow and in the future perhaps be a five-day festival like other regional events.

“The energy is a lot higher this year than last,” said Gary Saxton, who is with the Downtown Alliance and in charge of the Logan Film Festival. “The attendance appears to be about double from what it was last year. Film submissions were a little more than double too. ... Everything seems to be what it was last year and a notch higher.”

Another noticeable difference from a year ago was the quality of the films submitted. Saxton called the entries “significantly better.”

“We hope to make it a better expe-rience for the filmmakers and the audience,” Saxton said.“I think that this festival is phe-

nomenal,” said Erik Bateman, a local filmmaker. “The art scene that already exists here is only going to be enhanced by having a film festi-

val here. ... We have the opera and theater here. This is just another ele-ment that has been missing and in time could be a real treasure.”

In the future, using the Utah Theatre after it is renovated would be part of the plan. If the festival grows, the Ellen Eccles Theatre could be a possible option as well.

“These are great buildings,” Sax-ton said. “People who are visiting Logan, they love these old theaters. It’s a treat to have these.”

One of the biggest goals of the organizers is to expose filmmak-ers to Cache Valley. The Utah Film Commission promotes the Beehive state, which does well, but mostly in southern Utah. The Northern Utah Film Commission is trying to entice more movies being made in this part of the state.

“For the longest time I have told everyone that I know that I think there is so much potential in Cache Valley and Logan that is not being tapped,” Bateman said. “Bringing filmmakers here to see that, I think will only end up doing good things for the valley and community. ... There’s such tremendous talent here in Cache Valley. The more we can shine, the more people will recog-nize this is an untapped resource. I hope I represent the area well.”

Tyler Woodbury, who was involved with the festival and part of a submitted film, agreed with Bateman.

“We know there is a lot of film

activity going on in Cache Valley, but a lot of it is dispersed,” Wood-bury said. “We’re hoping to bring it together and hopefully bring more films to Logan, bigger films and film shoots.”

Bateman had his feature dramatic film “Equilibrium” shown Friday night at the festival. Before it was screened, he said it was a bit nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. The film had been screened back in November.

“It’s amazing to watch this thing in your head come to life,” Bateman said during a question-and-answer session following the screening of his film.

The film took three years to com-plete.

“You want everyone to see that creation of yours and see how they respond,” Bateman said. “It’s a lot of fun and mixed emotions. ... And it’s fun to share it with other people. I figure, at the very least, it will be worth a good laugh.”

Woodbury has been part of two documentaries via a program called Arts Bridge through Utah State University. The latest was screened at the LFF. “Hillcrest Elementary: 50 years” was chosen as the winner for short documentary. Woodbury accepted the award, but said there were others that took part in the project, including co-director Aman-da Beutler.

maybe there would be better entries,” Woodbury said. “For it to not only be accepted, but then the judges picked it, and the judges didn’t know it was my project, it was great.”

One feature the LFF had this year to let people know about oppor-tunities around the valley was the Cache Valley FAM Tour. Despite it being snowy last Friday, film-makers were taken by shuttle to some of Cache Valley’s best film destinations around Logan and in the county.

“We really want filmmakers to film in Logan, because of the eco-nomic impact it can have on our community,” Saxton said. “We need to develop that relationship with filmmakers and the Utah Film Commission so when filmmakers are thinking of Utah, we need to go check out Cache Valley. Everyone checks out Moab. We’ve got some great scenery here.”

During the awards ceremony Fri-day night, Saxton told the gathering he would really like to see film-making happen in Cache Valley. There are getting to be more film-makers around the valley as well.“There is kind of an emerging

scene here, in my opinion,” Bate-man said. “The university has had a group for a while, but at the same time ... it seems like the family is growing. It’s seems to be getting bigger all the time.”

Bateman hopes young film-

makers will be inspired after attending the festival. He said the biggest hurdle is usually “your-self.”

There were also lectures and workshops during the festival.

“We had a gentleman here that won an Oscar (Jeff Consiglio for editing),” Bateman said. “We got to rub shoulders and got his insight. This is an invaluable resource for both the emerging filmmaker and the community.”

The 48 films at the festival covered a variety of subjects and genres, including drama, comedy, history, social justice, health aware-ness, youth, family, arts and culture. There were local filmmakers from the valley, as well as many from throughout the state of Utah. Sax-ton said there was great response from California, Texas, New York and Illinois.“It’s getting to be legitimate

enough for them (filmmakers) to say we should support our film, because some of them are world premieres and they only premiere once,” Saxton said. “We hope the Cache Valley citizens take advan-tage, because some of these films you may never see again.”

The 2013 LFF was dedicated to Alan Hashimoto, who passed away recently. The USU professor played a big role in helping it get started. A standing ovation was given in Hashimoto’s memory dur-ing the awards ceremony.

Winning submissions to the 2013 Logan Film Festival included “Alguém Qualquer (Anyone Out There)’’ (top), “Born & Raised” (center) and “Shoot the Moon (above).

Continued from Page 4the dedicated cast, this show is one not to be missed.” Austen’s novel has been adapted for the stage by Jon Jory, a theatrical director, play-wright and New York Theatre Hall of Fame inductee. Jory served as artistic director of the Long Wharf Theatre from 1965 to 1966. In 1969, he took over the helm of The Actors The-atre of Louisville, and while there created the annual Humana Festival

of New American Plays. Set in the Regency era of England, the show requires British accents and mannerisms, mul-tiple costumes and mul-tiple sets. Female cast members wear corsets, an essential piece of women’s wardrobes in the time period. “I’m getting used to the corset, but I don’t know how women dealt with it back then,” says Kayli Jackson, a junior majoring in theatre performance who plays Emma. Emma Woodhouse is a congenial young lady who delights in med-

BachContinued from Page 5Dei.” Bach composed the sections at different times, beginning with the “Sanctus” section in 1724 and finishing with the “Credo” in the 1740s.

“Bach’s ‘B Minor Mass’ is largely con-sidered to be one of the greatest works of the western canon,” says Rebecca McFaul, violinist in the Fry Street Quartet and string faculty member in the Department of Music. “It is not often performed and was never performed in Bach’s lifetime, though it firmly holds its place as his Magnum Opus. It is our great privilege to prepare and give a per-formance of this work and to have focused this spring semester’s Col-legium Musicum course largely on the topic of Bach’s masterpiece.”

The Collegium Musi-cum course, taught by Scheer, McFaul and Robert Waters of the Fry Street Quartet, focuses on challenging students’ conceptions of early

music, or works written before 1750. Students in the class have worked with early music special-ists to see firsthand the challenges musicians face when performing music from this period, Scheer says. The class originally started as a student project and has developed into a course offered for the first time in the 2013 spring semester.

“The opportunity to use one of the great masterworks in recorded history as a teach-ing opportunity for our school has been a wonderful experience on many levels,” says Robert Waters, violinist in the Fry Street Quartet and string faculty mem-ber in the Department of Music. “The many layers of discussion and discovery that this project has opened have been fascinating and very fruitful.”

Tickets for “B Minor Mass” by Bach is $15 for general admission. For tickets and more infor-mation, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office, room 139-B in the Chase Fine Arts Cen-ter, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

dling in other people’s affairs. She is perpetu-ally trying to unite those who are utterly wrong for each other, but despite her interest in romance, Emma is clueless about her own feelings and rela-tionship with the gentle Mr. Knightly. “Mr. Knightly has been Emma’s closest friend growing up and through-out the play he realizes he is in love with her,” says Gordon Dunn, a senior majoring in theater performance who plays Mr. Knightly. “Neither one of them can see it and miscommunication abounds in this show, but in the end everything turns out. If you’re a sucker for romance and enjoy watch-ing people act ridiculous because of misinformation, this is the show to see.”

The Sky View Players’ final produc-tions for the school year will be held April 19 to 30. The group will continue to host four different, audience-inter-active, murder-mystery dinner theaters written by Weber State University pro-fessor Jim Christian.

All productions will also be served with a dinner that is designed espe-cially for that show. All menus are catered by Iron Gate Grill. The shows only run two performances each, so be sure not to miss out. Tickets can be purchased at ezticketlive.com or skyviewtix.org. Prices are lowest if the tickets are purchased at least 48 hours in advance.

“This is an opportunity for the audi-ences to do their own sleuthing, to be Sherlock Holmes, and to win fun priz-

es if they are good at it!” says director Nan Wharton.

Productions include “Death on the Deck” (April 19 and 20); “Slaughter on the Strip” (April 22 and 23); “Terrorfest” (April 26 and 27); and “Til Death Do Us Part” (April 29 and 30). All shows will be held in the Little Theater at Sky View High School, so seating is limited. Get your reservations today.

Tickers for dinner and the show purchased in advance are $17 per person if purchased at least 48 hours in advance, or $25 if after that time or at the door.

BootsContinued from Page 3who preferred boots over slippers. “When I presented my final project, it wasn’t a book,” Ferwerda says. “It was just my paintings and like a parable that later evolved into a book.” Over the next couple of years, Ferwerda com-pleted additional artwork while writing enough text for a 32-page book. A professional graphic designer, she ended up forming her own publish-ing company with the same name as her graphic art and marketing compa-ny — Blue Crow — and

“Ballerina Boots” went to press late last fall. Since then, Ferwerda has been sharing her book with as many peo-ple as possible through book-signing events and public readings. “The reaction has been really great,” she says.

“Kids have been awesome when I’ve read it at their school, and I’ve got-ten emails from people who are using it in their schools, including a col-lege campus.” Ferwerda says one response from a school counselor was particu-larly moving because the woman wasn’t only using it to help her students but her own daughter, as well. “She said her daughter was exactly like the bal-lerina; she dances to her own tune and she was afraid that of the ridicule she might face as she gets older.” Although Ferwerda says that she is not the ballerina in “Ballerina Boots,” she did draw from many of her own experiences where she has been in that type of situation — sometimes as the minority (the balleri-na) and sometimes as the majority (the tall people).

“It’s not the focus of the book, but many of person-al experiences that I drew from were with me identi-fying as a lesbian,” Ferw-erda explains. “I actually came from a background where I would have been the tall people and told someone else that they shouldn’t be gay or be who they want to be. “So, I guess I’ve been the ballerina in the sense that I’ve gone through that same journey of learning to be OK with who I am, and that it’s a good thing to follow your heart and be who you’re comfortable being.” Ferwerda, who is cur-rently at work on another children’s book entitled

“Henry the Gladerpillar,” says she hopes “Ballerina Boots” is “relatable for all ages,” but really wants the message to hit home with kids. “I wanted it to be for the child who’s picked on because he wears glasses or like science instead of football, or the girl who’s concerned about her weight,” she notes. “I mean, at some point, we all end up being in the shoes where we don’t feel

like we fit in or we’re not good enough.”

———“Ballerina Boots” is avail-

able online at www.blue-crow.org/books, as well as at Amazon.com. Copies are also available locally at Hastings, and Ferwerda will be signing books from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Sego Event Planning and Floral Design, 41 N. Main St.

‘The Croods’ catches fire with a $44.7M opening

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The cave-man comedy “The Croods” left an indelible mark on the wall, opening at No. 1 with $44.7 million, according to Sunday studio estimates.

The 3-D adventure from Dream-Works Animation and 20th Century Fox features a voice cast including Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Cath-erine Keener. They play a prehistoric family encountering danger and strange new creatures when they’re forced to find a new cave.

Opening strongly in second place with $30.5 million was “Olympus Has Fallen,” an action thriller from “Train-ing Day” director Antoine Fuqua in which North Korean terrorists take over the White House. Gerard Butler, as a secret service agent, leads an all-star cast that includes Aaron Eckhart as the president, Morgan Freeman and Angela Bassett.

“The Croods” has now made $108 million worldwide, also opening this weekend in Russia, the United King-dom, Germany and Spain. In the Unit-ed States, it’s the only game in town as far as animated films for the whole family, and it will continue to be so as kids head out of school for spring break

over the next couple of weeks.“It’s a terrific crowd-pleaser, it got

an A CinemaScore and an A-plus with audiences under 18, which leads me to believe a lot of kids loved the movie,” said Anne Globe, chief marketing officer for DreamWorks Animation.

Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for 20th Century Fox, said

“The Croods” had a stronger opening than the $40 million the studio had projected.

“To come in at the $45 million mark, ahead of ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ which was another terrific movie from DreamWorks Animation, is a great start to the spring holiday,” Aronson said.

“Olympus Has Fallen” also opened higher than expectations — much higher — given that FilmDistrict fig-ured it would end up somewhere in the under-$20 million range, said president of distribution Jim Orr. This is by far the biggest debut for the independent distributor, which was just founded in September 2010; the previous best was the $14.3 million the “Red Dawn” remake made over last year’s Thanks-giving weekend.

Dana Haynes departs from his previous thrillers involving the aeronautics industry and takes on the alphabet agencies in “Ice Cold Kill,” a surprising and intriguing page turner.

Daria Gibron, a minor char-acter in both “Crashers” and

“Breaking Point,” takes center stage in this new novel. The for-mer Shin-Bet agent now works as an interpreter, but when her old handler arranges to meet her at Grand Central Station in Man-hattan, she drops everything to see him.

When she lands in New York, a coded message warns her of a trap. It turns out that her former

handler has been murdered, and she’s been linked to a much sought-after terrorist. She clev-erly manipulates the situation to her advantage and puts her pur-suers on the defensive.

Knowing that she’s been burned, Gibron must use all her resources without help from her former allies. Shockingly, her best bet lies in teaming up with the terrorist to stop the real enemy. Together they learn the target on their backs is a distrac-tion from the real operation that involves a deadly virus that’s been genetically modified to kill select individuals.

Can they stop the plot in time?The bullets fly and the action

never stops in “Ice Cold Kill,” Haynes’ best book yet.
