“Morning on the Bear River” by Brad Teare — It should come as no surprise that the house of Brad and Debra Teare doubles as an art gallery, given that the Providence residents have been painting, sketching, etching or otherwise creating artwork for nearly 30 years. Pieces of their work are also displayed from Cape Cod to Salt Lake City, but this weekend they will be presenting for the first time a little closer to home. Read more on Page 8.

AVE I EVER TOLD YOU how much I hate grocery shopping?

I must get it from my mom, because we both hate it with every fiber of our being. I try to bribe my co-workers almost every week to go for me — I even offer up to $50 payment each time — but they’ve never taken the bait.

I think my husband and I shoot ourselves in the foot a bit, though.

We hate it so much, we refuse to go on those gigantic shopping sprees once a week or once a month that most families go on, the ones where you spend hundreds of dollars and stock up on everything you’ll need until the next big shopping trip. Instead, we have to go almost every day. Last night I went for cat food and

cheese; tonight I’ll have to go for milk.

It’s not that we don’t know what we’re doing. We just hate going so much that we can convince ourselves to make the trip for just a couple items — “I can do this; all I need is cheese. It’ll just take a minute!” Then I get home and realize there are three other things I needed. So the next day I go to the store thinking, “I can do this; all I need is milk. It’ll just take a minute!” Then I get home and realize ... well, you get the drift.

If we stock up on a few lunches and dinners in one trip, the next day we just need soap, or toothpaste, or vitamins, or cat litter. It’s a never-ending, vicious cycle we can’t seem to get out of. Don’t any grocery stores deliver? I’d pay good money!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Where social issues fuse with theater

Actors John Belliston and Jessica Jackson rehearse a scene from “Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico.”

Valley Dance to present evening of modern dance ALLEY DANCE V Ensemble will present an evening of modern

dance featuring original choreography at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 24, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for students and children and $25 per family, and available at the Eccles Theatre box office, by calling 752-0026 or online at www.center forthearts.us.

“Moveable Parts” will feature Valley Dance Ensemble’s adult performing company and junior

performing company, and highlight students from the community dance classes.

Original choreography by Salt Lake-based guest choreographers Lori Higbee and Amber T. Wade, and Valley Dance Ensemble company members, will be performed.

Explore a range of movement possibilities inspired by paranoia, motherhood, the push/pull of decision making, the beauty of chaos and monsters under the bed. A reception will follow the performance.

HE FUSION Theatre Project’s latest production, “Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico,” will play at 7:30 p.m. April 22-24, 28-30 and May 1 at the Caine Lyric Theatre, 28 W. Center, Logan. Tickets are $13 for adults, $11 for senior citizens and USU faculty, $9 for nonUSU students and free to theater faculty and USU students, and available at the Caine School of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, FA 138-B, by calling 797-8022 or online at www.boxoffice.usu.edu.

In “Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico,” the play’s main character, Calvin Wesley, follows the compelling mystery behind the discovery of human bones from 12 Mexican migrants found in the southern Arizona desert. This is a fictional story for mature audiences only, inspired by actual life-and-death events. The characters in the production are based upon interviews conducted by company members during the spring of 2009 around the borderlands of Arizona and Mexico.

Presenting the production is the Fusion Theatre Project, an experimental theater company

based at Utah State University that strongly emphasizes socially relevant themes in original progressive theater works. The idea for the production was chosen not because of the politics surrounding the topic, but rather the company’s wish to present the long-standing issue from a humanistic standpoint, said Fusion Theatre Project founder and playwright Shawn Fisher.

John Belliston, a senior at USU majoring in theater who plays the main character, Calvin Wesley, hopes attendees gain an understanding of the complexity of the current United States and Mexico border issue.

“It’s an exploration towards American attitudes,” said Fisher. “As Americans, we often look down on Mexican migrants because we think they’re lazy, but we fail to see these people have walked hundreds of miles through scorching desert to go to work so they can feed their families.”

Cast members include USU students and several faculty members and professionals.

While in the process of writing the play, company members from the Fusion Theatre Project gained inspiration by interviewing border patrol, Mexican

migrants, Arizona residents and people on both sides of the border while walking trails Mexican migrants had walked only minutes before.

The play has nothing to do with golf. An actual sign at the Fort Brown Memorial Golf Course in Browning, Texas, states, “Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico,” and provided not just an eye-catching title, but a pervading metaphor for the production, the playwright said.

Many Americans think of Mexico as their little playground, Fisher said. He believes Americans look down on others trying to accomplish what our ancestors did a long time ago.

“We aren’t trying to convince anyone on a certain political view,” said Fisher. “We hope the audience walks away realizing, whatever their political point of view is, we are dealing with human beings and we need to understand and respect what they have to go through.”

“Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico” is a funny, dark and emotionally provocative exploration of a current social issue by both the dynamic characters and audience.

From busking to Crumb Bros.

Dana Hubbard brings guitar, harmonica, stories to life

S

INGER/SONGWRITER Dana Hubbard will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 24, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan. Tickets are $13 and available by calling 757-3468.

Seating is limited, so advance reservation is strongly recommended.

For more information, visit www. bridgerfolk.org.

Hubbard is a warm and engaging personality on stage, singing, telling stories and playing the guitar and harmonica. In 2009 he was selected as a finalist in four national songwriter showcase competitions and two national acoustic blues competitions. In addition to his first-place wins above, he also won second place in the 2009 Utah State Instru-

mental Championships for fingerstyle guitar. Hubbard has performed as a song competition finalist at the Wildflower Festival in Texas, Mountain Music Festival in Utah and Tucson Folk Festival in Arizona, and was a finalist in the West Virginia Appalachian Blues Competition.

Born and raised on the central coast of California, Hubbard attended the University of California-Santa Cruz only long enough to finish an elective course on country blues before he hit the road and never looked back.

With his acoustic guitar he busked the streets of Berkeley and San Francisco. He eventually put together his own band, The Delta Twisters, which he led for over a decade in the burgeoning blues scene playing clubs, juke joints and biker bars.

By the time Hubbard moved on to bigger venues and theaters, the guitar in hand had become electric and he began sharing the stage with legends like Albert King, James Cotton and Etta James, and opening shows for artists like Greg Allman, Chris

Isaak and Robert Cray. All this performance experience culminated in his first CD release, “Tummy Lust,” which showcases his impressive guitar skills as well as his songwriting ability.

Hubbard returned to the acoustic guitar as his instrument of choice with the release of his second CD, “Livin’ Live.” When Hubbard plays guitar you can hear the bass and the back-beat rhythm along with the melody and chords. If you look around for his backup guitar, you won’t find one; this is Hubbard performing solo.

On his latest CD, “The Grounds Keepers,” each track is a single guitar performance with no overdubs and no re-makes. What you hear is a singer/ songwriter front and center, addressing issues of environmentalism and social injustice in a voice that sometimes growls and sometimes lilts or laughs. Hubbard has a social activist soul with a bluesman’s grin.

Film New this week “The Back-up Plan” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 This gets sitcommy early and often, and just for good measure, throws in old TV favorites Tom Bosley and Linda Lavin in brief, one-note roles. But regardless of their presence, or that of the appealing (and frequently shirtless) Alex O’Loughlin in his first leading-man role, this is a vehicle for Jennifer Lopez, who is front and center and looking flawless at all times. The first time we see her character, Zoe, she’s at the doctor’s office with her feet in the stirrups being artificially inseminated, wearing false eyelashes and perfect lip gloss. In case we couldn’t possibly imagine what she’s thinking, the script from Kate Angelo (a former sitcom writer) offers this helpful voiceover: “Oh, God, I hope this works. I’ve wanted this for so long.” Yeah, it’s like that. Director Alan Poul (who also has a TV background) hits every obvious note, complete with pratfalls, pregnancy cliches and cheesy pop-music cues that signal the characters’ emotions in painfully literal fashion. He also cuts away to Zoe’s adorable Boston terrier for cheap reaction shots so frequently, it could be a drinking game. All these devices are in service of a plot that’s pretty thin. Zoe is prepared to have a baby on her own, only to meet and fall for the hunky Stan (O’Loughlin). Since they get together pretty early, the rest of the movie consists of contrived flare-ups that threaten to keep them apart. PG-13 for sexual content including references, some crude material and language. 104 min.

Still playing “Oceans” Rated G ★★★1⁄2 Fish that look like rocks — or scarves, or a jeweled brooch, or anything but fish — are among the fascinating underwater creatures that inhabit “Oceans.” This stunningly beautiful documentary is the second in a series from the new Disneynature label, which gave us “Earth” exactly one year ago on Earth Day. Whereas that film fol-

lowed wildlife across the globe, “Oceans” takes a plunge deep into its waters, with jaw-dropping results. Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud provide a truly immersive experience, without the three-dimensional IMAX effects of the similar — and similarly awe-inspiring — “Under the Sea 3D” from 2009. Having spent seven years working on “Oceans,” including four years gathering footage, they’ve created countless how’d-theyget-that? shots. The narration from Pierce Brosnan can get a bit cutesy at times, but that’s probably to make “Oceans” as palatable as possible for the young viewers to whom much of the film is intended. Like its recent predecessors, “Oceans” also contains a message about the importance of protecting our underwater expanses and the beings that call them home from pollution and climate change: familiar but, unfortunately, still necessary words to hear. G. 84 min.

“Death at a Funeral” Rated R ★★1⁄2 The original “Death at a Funeral” only came out about three years ago, so it may seem a bit soon to resurrect it. But director Neil LaBute and an allstar cast surprisingly breathe new life into the material. The British farce about an extended family coming together for a funeral, with elaborate hijinks ensuing, debuted in 2007 to mixed reviews and minimal box office. The main problem with director Franz Oz’s film was that it was all over the place in tone — veering between dry wit, scatological slapstick and sticky sentimentality — with dull sections that dragged in between.

This new version works better because at least it knows what it is. LaBute just goes for it, playing up the wilder elements of the story, of which there are plenty.

And the hugely talented comic cast, led by Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan, is definitely up for such raunchy physicality — though no one is working outside his comfort level. It’s a nearly verbatim remake, from chunks of dialogue to wardrobe details to an unfortunate scene of extended

toilet humor. But the setting this time is the Los Angeles home of an upscale black family that’s lost its patriarch. R for language, drug content and some sexual humor. 92 min.

“Kick Ass” Rated R ★★★1⁄2 Director Matthew Vaughn has made a superhero action comedy so funny fans might need to see it again just to catch the gags they missed from laughing so hard the first time.

The film is seriously, nastily violent, both satirizing the excesses of superhero flicks and showing genuine, hurtful consequences of the cartoon action Hollywood serves up. As an 11-year-old masked vigilante, supporting player Chloe Grace Moretz simply owns this movie, deliriously complemented by Nicolas Cage as her doting but dotty dad. They team up with a costumed comic-

book geek (Aaron Johnson) to take on a crime boss (Mark Strong) and his son, a supervillain wannabe (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Alternately sweet, savage and scary, Moretz makes you believe she really could beat the stuffing out of grown men two or three times her size. It’ll never happen, but she deserves a supporting-actress nomination come Academy Awards time. R for strong brutal violence throughout, pervasive language, sexual content, nudity and some drug content — some involving children. 118 min.

“Date Night” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 Steve Carell and Tina Fey’s night out is not so much a bad date as a sad date. These are two of the funniest people ever on television, yet this big-screen comedy is a dreary, uninspired waste of their talents — and

those of the top-name cast inexplicably appearing in throwaway roles, including Mark Wahlberg, Mark Ruffalo and James Franco. The movie manages the barest glimmers of the droll humor of Carell’s “The Office” and the snappy wit of Fey’s “30 Rock.” Carell and Fey have an easy, affectionate rapport as run-down parents whose big evening out leads to mistaken identity and sets them on the run from crooks. The actors try hard to make it work, but the lowbrow sensibilities of director Shawn Levy (the “Night at the Museum” movies) leave them tottering through painful verbal exchanges, lame stunts and other dreadfully unfunny hijinks.

PG-13 for sexual and crude content throughout, language, some violence and a drug reference. 88 min.

EADLY ONLY IN its dullness, the comainducing, comic-bookadapted action flick “The Losers” aims to serve as a placeholder until “Iron Man 2” arrives with the summer’s heavy artillery.

That “The Losers” and its ragtag band of Special Forces operatives fail to achieve even that modest goal speaks to the filmmakers’ utter lack of imagination as well as the busy smugness with which they offer their smorgasbord of nothingness.

What’s interesting about the movie has more to do with the people involved than the mess they’ve splattered mostly off screen. (The film’s PG-13 mixture of bloodless violence and unseen killings seems almost quaint now in the wake of the gonzo brutality seen in last week’s comic book headliner, “Kick-Ass.”) “The Losers” comes from the caffeinated DC/Vertigo comic series by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock. Diggle calls the comics his “mancrush love letter to Shane Black,” the highly paid screenwriter behind the “Lethal Weapon” movies.

That man-crush was likely shared by Peter Berg (“Hancock”), who adapted Diggle’s comic with writer James Vanderbilt (“Zodiac”), Berg’s collaborator on the 2003 tonguein-cheek jungle adventure “The Rundown.”

These guys are capable writers, comfortable in the genre.

So what happened? Instead of

“The Losers” Rated PG-13

By The Associated Press

producing a heady homage to slick, ’80s action movies or a winking salute to Sam Peckinpah and his wild bunch of losers or even a faithful adaptation of a serviceable comic, Berg and Vanderbilt have watered down the material to the point of irrelevance.

We first meet our Special Forces agents in the Bolivian jungle where they’re on a search-and-destroy mission to take out a nasty drug lord.

Each Loser has a single name (Clay, Cougar, Pooch, Jensen and Roque) and exactly one

defining characteristic (in order named: brooder, cowboy hat guy, family guy, wacky Tshirt guy, brooder who doesn’t like the other brooder).

The mission goes bad. A bunch of cute ragamuffins are killed in the most perfunctory manner possible. The Losers get mad and vow revenge, going after the American-flag-

lapel-pin-wearing CIA “super spook (Jason Patric channeling Goldfinger) who engineered the betrayal.

Director Sylvain White (“Stomp the Yard”) tries hard to give the thin material a kind of tossed-off casualness, hoping the explosions and heavymetal soundtrack will fill the

empty spaces of the convoluted plot. It’s all noise, no substance. The line at the concession stand probably has more tension than what’s happening inside the theater.

As the team’s leader, Jeffrey Dean Morgan comes off as a budget-version George Clooney. Better is Chris Evans, cast against type as the nerdy computer specialist. Evans has a nice touch with the recycled banter and delivers the movie’s funniest moment with a spoton version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Geek It Girl Zoe Saldana (“Avatar”) is on board, too, fighting, shooting, disrobing, usually at the same time. The movie’s one great image has Saldana silhouetted on top of a mountain of cargo containers, a missile launcher at the ready.

What’s she doing here? Well, as Tom Petty sings, even the losers get lucky sometimes.

“The Losers,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for scenes of intense action and violence, a scene of sensuality and language. Running time: 98 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Debra Teare

“The fun of this is making things super-real. I’m kind of a perfectionist by nature.”

* Story by Lance Frazier *

t should come as no surprise that the house of Brad and Debra Teare doubles as an art gallery, given that the Providence residents have been painting, sketching, etching or otherwise creating artwork for nearly 30 years.

From the living room through the kitchen and upstairs into their shared workshop, it seems no wall is without at least one of Debra’s trompe l’oeil still lifes or one of Brad’s woodcuts.

Pieces of their work are also displayed from Cape Cod to Salt Lake City, but tonight they will be presenting for the first time a little closer to home at a reception at JF Prince Gallery in North Logan, despite Debra’s misgivings about being in the spotlight.

“I would rather be in the background and have the focus be on the art,” she says, “but most people don’t know what we do, so it will be kind of fun to do a show here.”

Both Debra and Brad are lifelong artists. Debra grew up in Cache Valley and says she “always loved art.” At the prompting of her father, a schoolteacher who also dabbled in art, Debra went on to study illustration at Utah State University.

Although she eventually dropped out of the program, she picked up painting seriously again about 10 years ago. Her chosen style is trompe l’oeil, French for “trick the eye,” a classic technique involving realistic imagery that creates an almost 3-D appearance.

“The fun of this is making things super-real,” Debra says. “I’m kind of a perfectionist by nature.”

While Brad likes “the looseness and creativity of playing with paint,” she says, “I like to get it just so.”

Growing up in Manhattan, Kan., Brad knew he wanted to study illustration, and came west to USU on the recommendation of a friend. After studying at USU and the University of Idaho, he got into cartoon animation, landed a job with the New York Times and went on to illustrate science-fiction book covers. That led to a commission to do book covers for some of James Michener’s sweep-

ing historical novels, which he did as wood-cuts, and, Brad says, “tha when wood-cut took over my care a little bit.”

The wood-cutting process is pain takingly slow, detailed work. Brad first draws the image in pencil on a wood block. He then carves the im into the wood, puts ink on the bloc and runs it through an old printing press to transfer the image to paper For a full-color image he will do e identical plates, one of each color, constantly adjusting the color com nations to get just the right mix.

Brad also does oil painting, and says he would prefer to do only tw

To see the show

An opening reception for t work of Brad and Debra Tea will be held from 6 to 9 tonig May 23, at JF Prince Gallery 2600 N. Main, Ste. 106, Nor Logan. Brad’s work includes paintings and wood cuts, an Debra’s work is trompe l’oeil lifes. The event will be cater

or three of the time-consuming, ca pal-tunnel-inducing wood cuts eac year. When he’s not working on hi own pieces, he helps Debra by cra ing the wooden frames she uses as props. A single piece for Debra mi consist of a frame containing a ph graph, an ancient tin can and a flo in a blue bottle. The effect is distin tively retro, a throwback to greatgrandmother’s farmhouse kitchen.

Their workshop is filled with bottles, vases, marbles, postcards, old books and other treasures min from antique shops. As Debra loo at the pieces, montages will come to her. She composes the pieces an shoots a photograph to refer to as she paints, although her plans ofte require refinement.

“Sometimes you have an idea a you set it up and shoot the photo a it doesn’t work, so you play with ferent combinations,” Debra says.

Both artists have won awards for instheir work.

Their individual paintght, ing styles complement each other y, well, different as they might be.” rth Sometimes both will paint the s oil same object, like the gnarled tree Debra rendered in her typical nd near-photographic style while l still Brad created a softer, larger verred. sion in subtle hues. But their discussions about art are more colarlaborative than competitive, and each ch speaks highly of the other’s skills. is Apparently those skills were inheraftited by their daughter, Ashley, now s 25, who in fifth grade won the family ight a trip to Lake Powell with one of her hoto- pieces. Ashley now dabbles in a variety ower of artistic endeavors, something Debra ncsays is standard practice for artists.

“When you’re trying to make a liv. ing as an artist you have to try a lot of stuff,” she says. , So Brad runs a studio in Salt Lake ned City, as well as a blog, bradteare. oks blogspot.com, and they both particie pate in shows around the country. nd Both hope to continue their painting as long as possible, although Debra en fears her eyesight may not hold up for the type of detail work she speand cializes in. Brad, on the other hand, and anticipates painting for decades to dif- come: “I can paint until I’m 90 if I . “I can stand up.”

History buffs invited to AWHC conference

T

HE Intermountain Living History Consortium will present the fourth annual, family-friendly Intermountain Re-enactors and Living History Conference on April 30 and May 1 at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville.

The conference will feature workshops and presentations about life skills from the past that will appeal to old and young.

There are also sessions on how to be a presenter of just about any topic for non-history museums, parks and other venues. Storytelling, team driving, blacksmithing, showmanship, effective interpretation, pioneer cookery, 19th-century life and manners, and other topics will be among the subjects explored. A special workshop on Scandinavian pioneer music will be presented by keynote speaker Clive Romney, a well-known pioneer

music expert and LDS songwriter. There are specific workshops and sessions for adults and for children, and the conference is priced so families can attend together.

On Friday, April 30, longer workshops will be presented on a variety of topics. Participants will also enjoy the fourth annual Living History Dutch-Oven Cook Off, where any living history organization or other team may battle for top culinary honors — and everyone else can enjoy the food. After dinner a special melodrama party will be held with 19thcentury theatrical activities.

Three light meals will be included in the price of the conference. To save money, individuals and families can “camp out” in one of the pioneer buildings at the Heritage Center for free, or conference participants can choose to lodge in one of the official conference hotels for a reduced cost.

“Living history” is usually defined as dressing up like people from the past and actually doing the things that were done in the past using old methods and techniques.

In this way, history is made more real and more fun for many. Re-enactors often take the personae of characters from the past and try to recreate them for audiences.

Program director David Sidwell said that the conference, first held in 2007, includes participants with not only a history background, but also includes docents from other museums around the state. He also indicated there are several members of historical societies such as the Daughters of Utah Pioneers who come and enjoy the conference each year To register for the conference or to find out more information, including prices, call 245-6050 ext. 10 or visit www.livinghistory conferencesite.org.

N.Y. during WWII: Fears, thrills and bustle

By The Associated Press

ELLUVA TOWN” “H is a helluva read. Richard Goldstein, who writes for

The New York Times, is the author of several books about World War II. For his latest, he takes a line from “New York, New York,” a song in the musical “On the Town,” where three sailors on leave sing about the city as a “helluva town.”

During the war, it was certainly that.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, panic gripped New York, which was considered at risk for bombing. Residents feared what happened to London during sustained bomb-

ing by Germany might happen to Manhattan. The Empire State Building was considered a prime target.

Within hours of the attack, young men started enlisting, the mayor’s Office of Civilian Defense was said to have 950,000 volunteers, and there were more than 115,000 air raid wardens.

The city didn’t have a single air raid siren.

Along with the rush to secure the city’s treasures, like a Gutenberg Bible and the first edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” New York also worked to set up a way to black out the city.

The FBI was kept busy hunting Nazi spies, and the Navy received help from mafia bosses to secure the city’s piers.

New York’s harbor was packed with warships and cruise ships pressed into service to take troops abroad. Many of the ships were also packed with ammunition, making fires extremely dangerous, and there were several.

Amid the fear and patriotism, the theaters still staged plays — productions such as “This Is the Army” and “Winged Victory,” and nightlife went on. Many Hollywood stars performed at the Stage Door Canteen, entertaining those about to ship out to war.

Amid the bustle, refugees from Europe began pouring into New York. With them came artists, scientists and giants of the

literary world.

Goldstein also tackles the darker side of the time — Irish Catholic youth gangs attacking Jewish youngsters while the police looked away, racism that sparked the riot of 1943 — but then presents the case for New York’s postwar status as the new center of the world.

“With London yet to recover from the blitz and the buzz bombs, Paris still emerging from the long German occupation, and Berlin and Tokyo in ruin, physically unscathed New York reigned as the pre-eminent international city.”

“Helluva Town” is a fascinating look at a remarkable time and a remarkable town.

Silverstein’s prose in ‘Nothing Happened’ is first-rate

By The Associated Press

M

EMOIRS ARE A tricky genre. Even trickier thanks to authors like James Frey, who fabricated parts of “A Million Little Pieces” earlier this decade.

That scandal helps explain the subtitle to Jake Silverstein’s “Nothing Happened and Then It Did: A Chronicle in Fact and Fiction.” Divided into eight chapters, with the odd-numbered chapters labeled FACT and the evennumbered FICTION, the author’s preface declares: “Chapters identified as the former can be trusted not to deviate from what happened in real life. Events related in chapters of the latter category are wholly invented.”

A device that is meant to be transparent instead may confuse some readers. The entire memoir reads chronological. Events that happen in the fiction chapters are often cited in the fact chapters, making everything

blend until the reader isn’t sure what’s real or imagined.

But for readers willing to go along for the ride, Silverstein’s adventures and prose are firstrate. From searching for the grave of Ambrose Bierce in West Texas (fact), to a treasure hunt in the Louisiana bayou (fiction), the memoir traces five years in the author’s life when he moved across the American Southwest and Mexico hoping to find a story worth selling that would launch his journalism career.

His insights about the profession he aspires to (and now practices; Silverstein is the editor of Texas Monthly magazine) are revealing.

As he unfolds a map of Mexico looking for a place to live, he writes: “I had the notion that it would be good to live someplace where there was nothing happening. That way, when something did happen, there would be no one but me to write about it.”

Silverstein’s writing is crisp and he’s gifted at finding (or

imagining) the little details that make a scene come alive. The chapter chronicling his participation in the seventh annual convention of the Famous Poets Society in Reno, Nev., is laugh-

out-loud funny.

In the end, we’re left with a fiction chapter about a man Silverstein names Baker Tenholz.

His special gift? He’s a master at shorthand, filling endless

notebooks with observations that he rarely bothers to reread.

“You must preserve your memories,” Tenholz tells our half-memoirist. “At the end you will have nothing else.”

‘Oceans’ brings enormity of sea up close

F

ISH THAT LOOK like rocks — or scarves, or a jeweled brooch. or anything but fish — are among the fascinating underwater creatures that inhabit “Oceans.”

This stunningly beautiful documentary is the second in a series from the new Disneynature label, which gave us “Earth” exactly one year ago on Earth Day. Whereas that film followed wildlife across the globe, “Oceans” takes a plunge deep into its waters, with jawdropping results.

Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud provide a truly immersive experience, without the three-dimensional IMAX effects of the similar — and similarly awe-inspiring — “Under the Sea 3D” from 2009.

Having spent seven years working on “Oceans,” including four years gathering footage, they’ve created countless how’d-theyget-that? shots. It took them 28 weeks of waiting, for example, to acquire their up-close-andpersonal moments with a blue whale, a creature a half-block long and weighing 120 tons.

That’s among the nuggets of

Aisle Seat

★★★ 1/2

“Oceans” Rated G

By The Associated Press

information narrator Pierce Brosnan provides in his soothing Irish tones. At times, the script veers toward the cutesy, but that’s

probably to make “Oceans” as palatable as possible for the young viewers to whom much of the film is intended.

It’s not just the images themselves that are striking, but also the way in which they’re pieced together. Perrin and Cluzaud, who also directed the Oscar-nominated documentary “Winged Migration,” have crafted a nonfiction film that’s shot and edited like a feature.

They make us feel an emotional connection as we watch the intimacy of a female walrus delicately caring for her pup, or the heartbreaking sight of baby sea turtles scurrying across the sand for their tiny lives just moments after being hatched.

(This would be a good time to urge you to bring tissues.)

Meanwhile, along the shore, sea otters frolic in Monterey Bay and penguins in the Arctic emerge from the frigid water, only to shake themselves off and waddle away. The adorable factor is high.

Still other moments are striking for their enormity: scads of

spider crabs crawling over one another in undulating waves across the ocean floor, or sea birds dive-bombing the surface in symphonic fashion as they hunt for fish, with scores of dolphins leaping and twisting among them. The sweeping score from French composer Bruno Coulais, who also worked on “Winged Migration,” heightens these scenes.

It is highly unlikely that you would ever have the opportunity to witness such spectacles in person; Perrin and Cluzaud scoured all five oceans to bring them to you. And Brosnan, as narrator, reminds us that all this majesty is in danger: Like “Earth” and “Under the Sea 3D,” “Oceans” includes a message about the importance of protecting our underwater expanses and the beings that call them home from pollution and climate change.

These are familiar but, unfortunately, still necessary words to hear.

“Oceans,” a Disneynature release, is rated G. Running time: 84 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

PBS documentary tracks human-canine connections

By The Associated Press

ENNIFER ARNOLD J spends her life breeding, training and matching service

dogs for people with disabilities or special needs.

It was her own quest for a dog that saw her through her darkest years when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and her father’s death dimmed her chance for independence.

“I remember not wanting to leave the house,” she said. “I felt very awkward, scared. It surprised me how frightened I was to be left alone. You feel so vulnerable.”

Arnold has written a book, “Through a Dog’s Eyes,” that

comes out in September. A PBS documentary based on the book and narrated by Neil Patrick Harris debuts April 21 (check local listings for time).

Harris, star of “How I Met Your Mother” and a dog owner, said he was “wildly moved” by the documentary about the bond between the service canines and the people they help.

“You can see it in the faces of these dogs,” he said.

Arnold was 16 and carefree, enjoying life with her mother and eye surgeon father in Atlanta. Then doctors said she had multiple sclerosis and she found herself in a wheelchair.

Her father tried to get her a service dog, but she was far

down on the waiting list.

So they decided to set up their own service dog training school, Canine Assistants, an academy her father planned to fund by delaying his retirement. Three weeks later, he was hit and killed by a drunken motorcycle driver.

But Arnold and her mother didn’t abandon the dream.

They went to work and raised money for the school. It took 10 years, but they incorporated on Dec. 31, 1991, and started training their first dog in March 1992. Canine Assistants is now among the largest service dog providers in the country.

“Through a Dog’s Eyes” looks at Arnold’s treat-based

teaching methods. The film focuses on five people, their families and the dogs.

Bryson Casey, 30, of Kansas City, Mo., served in Iraq as a captain with the National Guard. He came home and was in a car crash that left him a quadriplegic. He and his dog Wagner bonded instantly.

“Some of the most healed people I’ve ever known are quadriplegics,” said Arnold.

She is now 46, her disease is in remission and she is married to the academy’s staff veterinarian. Her mother died in 1997.

In the last 20 years, Canine Assistants has given away 1,000 dogs; there is a waiting list of nearly 2,000.

Haggard sounds at ease on new album

By The Associated Press

AD ACTOR,” THE “B most intriguing new song on Merle Haggard’s new album,

“I Am What I Am,” veers furthest in its melody and lyrics from what’s expected from this country music legend. But the song’s message — that he’s lousy at faking emotion — stays right on point.

The rest of the 12-song collection hangs its hat on the lived-in style Haggard has been distilling for decades: self-defining songs filled with unvarnished sentiments about love, society and personal struggles set to lightly swinging West Coast country arrangements.

On his first album for Vanguard

Records, Haggard sounds at ease on every level. His mature love songs are about finding comfort (“The Road to My Heart”) as well as joy (“How Did You Find Me Here”). As usual, Haggard reflects on his past (“Oil Tanker

Train”) and on what America has lost in modern times (“I’ve Seen it Go Away”). But this album dwells on life’s simple pleasures, as in the sprightly duet with his wife, Theresa, on “Live and Love Always,” best known as a song Hank Williams recorded.

At 73, country music’s most prolific and powerful poet may not like everything he sees in the world, but he sounds content with where he resides in it CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: On “Mexican Bands,” Haggard pays tribute to mariachi music by describing his attempt to improve his Spanish while indulging himself in Mexico, all set to a horn-spiced, south-of-the-border arrangement.
