In the last eight years I’ve moved 11 times, and tomorrow will

make the twelfth. Most of the moves were minor, from apartment to apartment in Logan, when leases ended and/or I need-ed new roommates for one reason or another.

I have lived with 42 different girls over the years, and am finally getting my own place. There will be good things about this: my mess will be all my own, I’ll be able to watch endless amounts of “Friends” without complaint, and the apartment temperature will always be at least 75 degrees. And maybe, because I won’t be working around roommates’ life plans, I’ll be able to stay in one place a little longer. Because let’s face it, moving sucks.

A couple weeks ago I went to a show

at Logan Arthouse where a duo from California called The Milk Carton Kids performed. They play acoustic music and their harmonies are out-of-control good. That night they sang a song called “Perma-nent,” where they mentioned how some-thing new always seems enticing because “you can open it and plug it in.” However, when it comes down to it, many of us want something that will last a little longer than that first moment of excitement. Some-thing a little more permanent.

Apartment living is interesting, because it never really seems permanent, at least not to me. And there’s something nice about that too. But I’m hoping that in this new place I can stay longer than I have in other places in the past.

If you haven’t heard The Milk Carton Kids before, I suggest going to their site, themilkcartonkids.com, right now. You can download their album for free, and who doesn’t like free?

All mixed up

By Manette NewboldCache Magazine editor

According to First Pres-byterian Choir Director,

Elisabeth Evans, power is the way she would describe the upcoming Easter cantata at the Logan Tabernacle.

The performance of “Passion and Glory of the Risen Christ” by Jack Schrader, will be held Sunday evening and include about 50 singers from various faiths in the com-munity, as well as an 11-piece orchestra.

“There are really awe-some sing-ers,” Evans said. “I’m just getting a dynamic range this year ... I’m just listening to the basses and sopranos and, geez, they sound good.”

Evans was recruited to be the conductor of the Easter com-munity choir by Lucille Hansen, who is in charge of the summer and Christmas performances at the Tabernacle. Hansen saw the cantata at First Presbyterian Church last year and asked if Evans would do it again, only on a larger scale.

Last year’s performance had about 25 singers and a six- or seven-piece orchestra, Evans said, and to get more people involved this year, a call for performers was put out around Christmas.

“And they came!” Evans, said, adding they have been practicing together since March. “I’m most excited about the power behind

the choird this year. These peo-ple are invested and they really feel what they are singing, and they show it. You hear it.”

Evans said the cantata was published for the first time in 2010 and has “wonderful bluesy rhythms and piano parts” while telling the story of Jesus’ final hours. More than 10 pieces Sun-day will be performed, along with some solos and orchestra

music.“You’re hearing the

story through the music as well

as the words with the choir. The part that’s the most emotional is when Jesus is in the Gar-

den, leading up to the cruci-

fixion. You hear the nails pounded

into the cross with the music. We haven’t

gotten through that part with-out someone in the choir cry-ing yet.”Evans added that the pro-

gram ends with a very uplifting and hopeful feeling, and that throughout the performance, it’s easy to get carried away in the music and message.

The cantata is being performed by the second interdenomina-tional choir formed this year, the first being for the Martin Luther King program held at the Taber-nacle a few months ago. Evans said there are members from the Presbyterian, Catholic, Mormon, Episcopal and Lutheran church-es, as well as some members that don’t regularly attend any orga-nized religion.

The performance at 6 p.m. April 17 in the Logan Tabernacle.

The legendary three musketeers and young Frenchman d’Artagnan

engage the Cache Valley community with a tale of treachery, heroism, close escapes and honor in “The Three Musketeers,” a stage production continuing to show at Utah State University April 15-16 and 20-23. The work is presented by USU’s Theatre Arts Department in the Caine Col-lege of the Arts.

“The play guarantees a swashbuckling, melodramatic, comedic experience for the audience and provides our 19-person cast the opportunity to learn demanding new skills like 17th century court dances and formal sword fighting,” said Colin John-son, interim department head for theatre arts and the show’s director.

The theatre department employed Roger Dunbar, a fight choreographer from Salt Lake City and USU alum, to train the cast in aspects of hand-to-hand combat and sword fighting, Johnson said.

A guest-artist grant from the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation – Russell Family made the professional training possible.

In total, there are about 45 minutes of choreographed fight scenes throughout this action-packed production, said Richie Call,

visiting assistant professor of theatre arts and fight coach.

“I have the battle wounds from fight call rehearsals to prove it,” said Call.

Adventure, drama, humor and romance combine to make this play family-friendly and entertaining, said Call.

“I have enjoyed learning the difference between swashbuckling, the type of sword play we use in the play, and fencing, the kind of competitive, sporting sword play I’m more familiar with,” said Jason Craig West who portrays d’Artagnan.

“The choreographer has been fun to work with because he is so creative and yet still open to suggestions,” West said. “That’s important to me because I like to give my two cents.”

“The Three Musketeers” begins at 7:30 p.m. nightly in the Morgan Theatre of the USU Chase Fine Arts Center.

Tickets are $13 reserved seating, $11 for USU faculty and staff, $9 for non-USU students and free for USU students with ID. Tickets are available online (arts.usu.edu), by phone, 435-797-8022 and in per-son at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center.

Sky High Players’ final productions for the school year will

Tickets can be purchased at

ezticketlive.com or skyview-tix.org today. Prices are low-est if tickets are purchased at least 72 hours in advance.

Nan Wharton, the director, says, “this is an opportunity for the audience to do their own sleuthing, to be ‘Sher-lock Holmes’, and to win prizes if they are good at it!”

A little about each show and menu is listed below:

Sky View High hosting mystery dinners

• “I was always interested in dance. I started with a tap dance group at age 5. My true introduction to ballroom dance was through a little red head girl that lived in my neighborhood. She was attending a ballroom dance camp that required partnership registration. I accepted her invitation and loved every second of ballroom dancing since.”

• “Perhaps I am slightly biased because I am only 5’7’’, but I enjoy Latin dancing much more than Ballroom dance. Typically Ballroom dance is composed of making long graceful lines and Latin is about making quick moving curves. I suppose my small frame was built more for creating curves than lines.”

• Most of Shelton’s competitive ballroom experience comes through the BYU Ballroom Dance program through their

youth and college teams.

• At BYU Shelton received training from some of the top professionals they bring in each year. He

also had the opportunity to win several national formation dance championships through their

program.

• “During the last year of finishing up a corporate finance degree at BYU I was none to excited about the career

options open to a finance graduate. So, I used the last year of college to come up with the details for Enlight Ballroom.

Jeanne-Louise, my wife, grew up in Logan so coming here to start a studio seemed

like the natural conclusion. So in the fall of 2008 we trekked up to Logan to start our studio.”

• Enlight Ballroom offers classes for all ages and abilities. While the primary focus is on

competitive youth ballroom from ages 5-18, the Sheltons also teach a weekly adult class on

Wednesday nights.

• Shelton plans to have his youth team they com-pete at the U.S. Formation Championships for the first

time this year, and has goals of winning the champi-onship within five years.

— Manette Newbold

Since 2008 Adam Shelton has not only been coaching the USU Ballroom team, but also teaches classes at Enlight Ballroom, a busi-

ness he co-owns with his wife, Jeanne-Louis. Since coming to USU, the college ballroom team has been

able to place higher at competition than long-time rival University of California, San Diego, and within five years,

Shelton would like to see the team compete in Germany at the World Formation Championships. A Brigham Young University graduate with 16 years of dancing under his belt (10 as a competitor and six as a coach), Shelton has big plans for the future.

011MEET AdAM

Coach of USU Ballroom Team

Come join the USU Ballroom Dance Team as they perform Ballroom

Dance: Then and Now; The Clas-sic and Contemporary, at the Ellen Eccles Theater, April 22-23. The team will take audiences through a historical journey of ballroom dance – to the ancient royal courts of Austria where ballroom dance first began, to the classic dances of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers as they graced the silver screen, all the way to the vivacious con-temporary Latin dances of today. Ballroom Dance: Then and Now, features beautiful costumes and a variety of ballroom dances such as the Latin Samba of Brazil, the majestic slow Waltz of Vienna, the electric American Swing and many more.

2011 marks the 15-year anniver-sary of the USU Ballroom Dance Team. Over that span the team has performed for thousands of people. The current ballroom team has been busy performing across the United States. The hard work and attention to detail has garnered the team many awards at competitive events.

Tickets for the April 22-23 show start at $12 with discounts for stu-dents. We ask patrons to be in their seats at 7:30 p.m.

“Scream 4”Rated R★★

1⁄2 Ghostface’s 11-year layoff hasn’t made the

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

“Arthur” Rated PG-13★★Another inferior, unnecessary remake,

Russell Brand’s comedy at least is benign fluff that should please younger audiences unfamiliar with the 1981 comedy, even if purists who adore the orig-inal may hate this version. The movie is respectful of and faithful to Dudley Moore’s original — maybe too much so. The film-makers tweak things to modernize the story and fit the persona of drunken, debauched, billionaire man-child onto Brand (not surprisingly, it’s no stretch for the British comic with the party-boy past). Yet the alterations are mostly cosmetic, including the big one, changing the sex of Arthur’s stern but loving guardian Hobson from a man (John Gielgud as Moore’s butler in the origi-nal) to a woman (Helen Mirren as Brand’s nanny). First-time director Jason Winer (TV’s “Modern Family”) stuffs this version

with too many cute, cloy-ing moments as Brand’s Arthur grows up while find-ing true love with a pen-niless tour guide (Greta Gerwig) and avoiding an arranged marriage with a corporate-climbing execu-tive (Jennifer Garner). Considering the crude-ness of many remakes, this could have turned out much worse. 110 minutes.

“Soul Surfer”Rated PG★

1⁄2 Watching “Soul Surfer,” the story of Bethany Ham-ilton’s comeback after a shark attack, makes you long for a vivid documen-tary on the subject instead

— preferably one of those excellent “30 for 30” offer-ings from ESPN. Ham-ilton’s tale is, of course, inspiring. In 2003, when she was just 13 years old, she lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing near her Hawaiian

home. An up-and-comer in the sport, she wanted to get back on her board as soon as possible. A month later, she was in the water again. Now, at 21, she continues to compete pro-fessionally.

“Soul Surfer” takes that story of complex emotions, determination and faith and turns it into overly simplistic mush. Director and co-writer Sean McNa-mara’s film is an uncom-fortable combination of pat, feel-good platitudes, two-dimensional characters, cheesy special effects and generically idyllic scenery. AnnaSophia Robb, who stars as Hamilton, cuts through some of the gooey tedium with a natu-rally athletic presence and no-nonsense attitude (and the star of “Bridge to Tera-

bithia” and “Race to Witch Mountain” does much of her own surfing). But

“Soul Surfer” consistently tries to make her transfor-mation as easily digestible as possible. 106 minutes.

“Your Highness” Rated R★★The knights-errant — strong emphasize on the errant — behind this adventure comedy spend more time wallowing in medieval filth than weav-ing clever laughs and engaging action. Reunit-ing key players from “Pine-apple Express” — James Franco, Danny McBride, director David Gordon Green — the movie plays like a Middle Ages role-playing fantasy dreamed up by the giggly stoners of that earlier comedy.

Co-writer McBride and his collaborators apparently set out on a quest to ram as much coarse language and as many adolescent sexual gags into a movie as possible, maybe to cover the fact that the movie doesn’t contain much else. He and Franco play sibling princes who team with a mysterious warrior (Natalie Port-man) to rescue a damsel (Zooey Deschanel) from an evil wizard. Crassness overwhelms the movie, the vulgar language los-ing all force by incessant repetition, deadening the lingo so that even the occasional witty wise-cracks aren’t funny. 102 minutes.

By The Associated Press

A lot of passion and personal feeling

clearly went into “Rio,” the 3-D animated adven-ture from director Carlos Saldanha, who devised this story as a love letter to his Brazilian home-town.

It’s strikingly gor-geous, bursting with big images and vibrant colors. And the use of 3-D, which so often feels so needless and like such an afterthought, is surprisingly effective in the hands of Saldanha (director or co-director of the “Ice Age” mov-ies) and his team. Stuff doesn’t come flinging at you in cheeky, knowing fashion — although that can be fun in its own gimmicky way some-times — but in the fly-ing sequences especially the chase scenes, the 3-D provides an extra thrill, an added layer of immersive oomph. Blu, a cerulean macaw who’s the film’s reluctant hero, hang-glides around the mountaintop Christ the Redeemer statue, and the depth of field that results is sort of awe-some.

The whole film has a tremendous energy about it, not just in the way it moves but in the snappy banter and screwball antics between Jesse Eisenberg, who voices the character of Blu, and Anne Hatha-way, who voices the free-spirited bird Jewel. Eisenberg works his pat-ented halting, neurotic delivery to ideal comic effect, while Hathaway is confident, bold and impatient as the female of the species who is his destiny. They clash so convincingly, you’d think they’d recorded

their scenes together. (They didn’t, which is unfortunately the norm in animation perfor-mances.)

So much is so appeal-ing for so long that you can almost forgive the fact that there’s not much story here in the script from Don Rhymer, Joshua Sternin & Jef-frey Ventimilia and Sam Harper. (Three others, including Saldanha him-self, get story-by credit.) It’s essentially one long chase, with the usual romantic-comedy fric-tion that will, of course, turn into love.

Blu, as a baby, was abducted by smugglers who raided his jungle home to sell him and other beautiful birds illegally in the United States. He ended up get-ting lost en route and, luckily for him, falling into the loving hands of a nerdy, small-town Minnesota girl named Linda. Over the years, the two forged an amus-ingly inappropriate bond, and now are enjoying a comfy, co-dependent existence. Linda (voiced as an adult by Leslie Mann) has domesticated this bird she named Blu

to such an extent that he makes his own breakfast and enjoys hot cocoa with marshmallows — but he never learned to do what most birds can do, which is fly.

One day, a scientist named Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) arrives to inform Linda that Blu is the only male left of his species. They must

travel at once to Rio de Janeiro to allow Blu to mate with the last female of the species, Jewel. Anxious about leaving their familiar surroundings, they none-theless make the trip.

But this first date, um, doesn’t go quite as everyone hoped. Not only do Blu and Jewel not get it on, but they

hate each other — and Jewel is too busy any-way planning her escape. Then they’re captured by another set of smugglers, with help from a hideous and diabolical cockatoo named Nigel. Jemaine Clement of “Flight of

the Conchords” voices the character with preen-ing menace — complete with an elaborate pro-duction number — and he’s a hoot.

From here, they must figure out how to break free so Blu can get back to Linda and Jewel can enjoy independence. (George Lopez, Jamie Foxx, will.i.am and Tracy Morgan lend their voices to the support-ing players who help along the way.) The fact that they’re chained to each other — and Blu can’t fly, if you’ll recall — sets up plenty of slapstick and elabo-rate mad dashes across slums, beaches, forests and finally the spectacle of Carnival.

Nothing deep or heavy here — just a good time and a pleasurable escape.

Spring Love Comedy.”There were about 20 entries, one com-

ing from as far as New York, that have been narrowed to four final films and, tonight, the winner will be announced.

The short-film festival is organized by Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts and the Logan Arthouse Cin-ema. Courtney Lewis, who is with USU’s Caine College of the Arts Production Services, said the contest has a “more edgy feel” than the usual Caine event.

The intent of the Fringe Film Festival is to spark the interest and creativity of people, she said.

“Our main goal is just to generate cre-ativity,” Lewis said, and she wasn’t dis-appointed with this year’s entries.

“We’re really excited with the turn-out,” she said. “There were so many spectacular films.”

Films were judged based on 10 cat-egories including cinematography and composition, writing, sound, score and delivery, Lewis said. There are four final-ists — two determined by a three-judge panel and the other two by online voting.

Lewis said the overall winner will receive $2,000. Other prizes include a giftcard to the USU Bookstore.

The Fringe Film Festival will be hosted by the Logan Arthouse and Cinema. Tickets are $10, or two tickets for $15.

Lewis said that from about 7 to 8 p.m., all the short films will be shown. The four films in the finals will be shown at 8 p.m.

Here is a quick look into the life and creativity of the four finalists — Kevin Lacy, Quince Van Orden, Matthew Pool and Stephen Simmons.

Story by Arie Kirk

Making moviesUtah State University’s Fringe Film Festivalinspired directors to create films about love and compete for cash

Stephen SimmonsAge: 27Film title: “I Love Me”Film synopsis: Before you can start

loving anyone, you have to start loving yourself.

Simmons, a Utah native, said that in his films, he likes to have original

ideas that challenge himself and clichés, so “I Love Me” isn’t the romantic story-line one might expect.

“I like to challenge myself and think of ways I can switch things around and still fit in that type of genre ... I thought about a character falling in love with himself. From there on I took all these elements of a boy meets girl and just took out the girl. Boy meets himself,” Simmons said.

Simmons, of Salt Lake City, would like to have a career in film.

“I have no notions that I will be a huge Hollywood star or a big shot direc-tor,” he said. “I would love one day to live comfortably with my work as an artist,” he said.

Matthew PoolAge: 25Film title: “Monday”Film synopsis: A boy and girl

working in the same office start a friendly game of surprising the other with Post-it notes.

Pool has been interested in film since he was a kid. At

13, he got his first camera and he has been filming ever since. Pool, who is from Salt Lake City, graduated from The Uni-versity of Utah with a degree in film studies and hopes to have a career in film.

“Monday” was inspired by events in Pool’s life. He said every time one of his coworkers is upset, he writes notes on Post-its and sticks them around their office.

“I thought it would be kind of a cute story if love were involved,” he said.

Kevin LacyAge: 26Film title: “Love Sick”Film synopsis: Will he ever catch

the girl of his dreams?

Lacy grew up dreaming of direct-ing movies, but he wasn’t sure a

career in film was a practical ambi-tion.

“For a long time I was too worried about the practicality of that goal, but finally decided that life was too short to not pursue my childhood dreams,” he said.

He graduated from the University of Utah in film and media arts and has been accepted into the American Film Institute’s Directing Conserva-tory in Los Angeles.

Lacy, who grew up in Cache Valley and graduated from Sky View High School, said he learned from Nora Ephron’s commentary for “Sleepless in Seattle” that romantic movies need a “chase scene” and that is something he has captured in “Love Sick.”

Quince Van OrdenAge: 23Film title: “Silly Love Games”Film synopsis: John is an ESL

tutor who has a romantic study ses-sion with the hot Ivanna, but as he tells his friends this tale, some other students tell how they remember things differently.

Van Orden, a USU student from Illinois, said he “combined forc-

es” with his brother to come up with the plot of “Silly Love Games.”

He enjoys filming, but does he want a career in it?

“Yes and no,” he said, adding that it is hard to get into the business. “Not everybody is a Brad Pitt or a Steven Spielberg.”

Still, “Silly Love Games” won’t be the last film we see from Van Orden.

“Look forward to more movies from me for sure,” he said.

011 Logan still a young and adolescent metropolis

Logan isn’t too any-thing. It’s not too big or

too small, but it’s also not just right. It’s not too young or too old. Like many towns and small cities in the west, it’s just a petulant, unpredictable, hormonally-challenged ado-lescent.

To put it in perspective, the house I just moved out of was built about 100 years ago which makes it old only by Western U.S. standards. On the east coast and in the Mid-west some houses have wash-ing machines that old. Take a trip across the Atlantic Ocean and you’ll find homes with plumbing installed by Druids and Roman arches actually built by Romans.

While there are many desir-able things about being young, being fickle is not one of them. Adolescents want to be popu-lar and do embarrassing things to achieve this. I know I was thrilled to get a Lowes, Home Depot and Starbucks for my

own selfish consumptive reasons. Many other locals applauded Old Navy, Pet Smart and Chili’s as signs that we were becoming a maturing metropolis. With every binge comes the ensuing hangover and morning of regret.

We don’t know who or what we are; at least yet.

To continue my youth anal-ogy; do we want to be the popular kid with an iPhone and all the right brand name clothes or the interesting bohemian kid who wears artfully mixed thrift shop ensembles and writes poetry at the coffee shop? Because we are filled with those throb-bing hormones of youth, most days the answer is yes, no and somewhere in between. I liked Logan just the way it was, while I still curse that I have to drive to Salt Lake City to catch a plane to anywhere.

I want Logan to be different from, and conform with, the rest of the world simultane-ously.

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

built trains, subways and other means of mass transit not to save energy, but to simplify commuting. There are cit-ies on the east coast where it costs more to park a car than to buy a car.

The west is the land of eight-lane highways, drive-through everything and free parking.

Unless you pick your address carefully, there isn’t much of anything within walking distance here. If you do want to walk somewhere, there might not be a sidewalk to get there. Since everyone has a car, we have decided to draw strict lines between residential and commercial. I grew up in long-ago St. Louis with a corner store, laundro-mat, hardware store and, of course, a corner bar. Most western neighborhoods don’t even have definable corners because the original grids were based on agriculture and irrigation more than com-merce. That’s fine, but since

we’ve eliminated most live-stock from the city limits, we need to rethink bringing back more places like the Island Market.

We are torn between the consistent taste of franchise coffee and burgers while simultaneously longing for a unique local flavor. The eat, drink and buy localvore move-ment is only partially driven by environmental concerns. Farmers markets are thriving because people want some-place to go that has a local feel and taste even if that taste is sometimes tasteless.

it is a contradiction that he still would like to have at least one Dunkin Donuts in town.

“No Place to Call Home”by Nephi Montana

Just traveling around,with no place to call home,

can give you a feelingI have often known.

I’d settle down if I knewwhich town to pick.This drifting around

can get you feeling sick.

I’ve seen some pretty places,the people there are great

With all this moving around,how long will I have to wait?

A little home in the countrythat I could call my own.

Would be the answer to a dream,I’d no longer have to roam“Anonymous Friends”

by Wilma Hunsaker

The other night at our house

We got quite a scare

For some one rang our door bell

But we found no one there.

We looked up the street and down the street

But we could find no trace

We decided the runners must run real fast

They could win most any race

Then our eyes saw some cookies

They were on the plate just laying there

We tried very hard to resist them

But now the plate is bare.

And then we noticed a greeting card

It was such a pretty one

And it said such very nice things

Oh it was such a lot of fun.

The cookies were especially good

We ate them right away

And the special card that came with them

Will be planted in our hearts to stay

Now with all the excitement our problem is

And we really don’t want to raise a fuss

But we need to find out about these friends

Whose name is just Anonymous.

P.S. Whoever you are Anonymous, we love you.

“Surgeon’s Solo/Daunting Duet”

by Cindy Chase

Tell me the number that measures your pain.

Is it three, is it seven or twelve?

How can we measure the depth of a void?

Should we ask? Should we try? Should we delve?

Who should remember that someone remains

After the surgeon is finished?

Is it relevant someone’s alone and afraid,

Why bother that someone’s diminished?

Are we not caving to weakness

To dwell on the transience of pain?

Given a week or a month or a year

It’s unlikely such nuisance remains.

Should the makers of magic consider the cost

Isn’t price to be left to the patient?

We fixed her up good, better than new

So where is our standing ovation?

You gave it away, sir, the day that you chose

To install a deaf ear and blind eye

The sculpture you buried beneath someone’s skin

Lies trembling, wondering why.

Even the art of prescribing for pain

(Which I think must require a license)

You declare is the duty of someone you paid

To stand between you and your patients

Write up a formula, one size fits all

Your system keeps time marching onward

New surgeries line up, each unaware

That neglect is your follow-up standard.

As long as you stay in your sterile domain

Your hands always clean, donned in rubber

Those lost, in despair, behind firewall’s shame

Can keep track of their pain with a number.

Some people col-lect coins or baseball

cards. Others collect stamps or Pez dispensers. Hugh Aldersey-Williams collects the building blocks of the uni-verse.

Aldersey-Wil-liams has been trying to collect pure samples of every element known to human-kind — from the common to the rare, the inert to the lethal. His quest sprang from a simple desire: to see and feel the elements that otherwise seem to exist only as abbrevia-tions on the periodic table.

The author’s scientific senti-mentality may be unusual. But he makes it easy to share his passion with his latest book, the charming “Periodic Tales: A Cultural History of the Ele-ments, From Arsenic to Zinc.”

Few people give elements a second thought outside of chemistry class, but each one has an interesting story. The

quest for gold drove some cul-tures to explore the world, while other cultures dismissed it as useless. Platinum is as plentiful as gold but it’s more valuable because of artificially created demand. And chlorine changed

the way nations waged war.

In this context, the ele-ments are surprisingly fascinating. Aldersey-Williams writes about how each element was discovered, explains its place in human history and describes the cultural changes it wrought.

The vignettes are inter-esting and eloquently

written. The only drawback is quantity — with more than 100 elements, it’s hard to keep some of the stories straight.

Aldersey-Williams eases the journey by avoiding complex language. Readers won’t need a strong science background to appreciate the stories.

The best part of the book is the author’s evident passion. For example, after reading about an alchemist who extract-ed faintly glowing phosphorus from human urine, Aldersey-

Williams tries to duplicate the feat. It’s not often that a story about urine is so gripping.

“Periodic Tales” is a rela-

tively quick read, and Aldersey-Williams writes with simplicity and elegance. The stories may not help you on your next

chemistry test, but they’ll help you appreciate the building blocks that are all around us yet all too easy to overlook.


What's getting the Panama Canal built or

making peace between Russia and Japan compared with res-cuing football from damnation and dissolution? In the Age of Theodore Roosevelt, anything was possible.

Sports history meets social history in "The Big Scrum" as John J. Miller examines the early years of an all-too-deadly pastime and why only presidential intervention may have saved football from the fate of cockfighting. Miller's easygoing narrative and keen eye for colorful detail should cheer sports fans and history

buffs alike.Football addicts are fortu-

nate that T.R. was the man in the White House when, in 1905, no fewer than 18 players died from injuries suffered on the field. Roosevelt was sensi-tive to his fellow Progressives who felt scorn for the brutal game and demanded it be abol-ished. But he, too, was a prod-uct of the times, a period in which physical fitness began to be promoted on the same level as mental agility.

Miller juxtaposes the decades-long evolution of football from a rugby-meets-soccer knockoff to an all-American sport with Roosevelt's own transforma-

tion from sickly rich kid to hardy, adventurous youth. He was still rich, of course, and all the better able to enjoy the things — boxing lessons and big-game hunts were but two — that came with wealth.

In presenting a joint history of football and the 26th presi-dent, Miller focuses far more on why Roosevelt got involved than what he actually did as president to make a difference. Fewer side trips into the minu-tiae of both subjects might have put more energy into this dual narrative.

But then readers could have missed out on the fact that painter Frederic Remington once soiled his college football uniform with slaughterhouse

blood to make it appear "more

businesslike." And that college student Woodrow Wilson, later a Roosevelt nemesis, extolled the virtues of football for the Princeton newspaper and even served as an officer for the college team. And that a dead player's mother almost single-handedly stopped an effort to ban football in Georgia.

Roosevelt enjoyed solv-ing problems, even those that didn't concern his office. He used his bully pulpit to cajole modern football's founders into revising the rules — the forward pass was one innova-tion — to make the game less lethal. In doing so, T.R. scored a touchdown for American sports.
