played at a graphic design exhibit tonight at the Bullen Center in Logan. Seniors in the graphic design program were assigned to create a portrait of themselves for the exhibit.

From the editor

T

here are a thousand things that make each person unique, and I love discovering those details. I’m talking about the quirky things that make a person special and rare.

For instance, my mother loves cotton candy so much she once drove an hour and a half to get some. My dad eats a giant bowl of cereal every night while watching the news.

I had a roommate once whose specialty was making spaghetti at midnight. Another loved Harry Potter so much she’d read the series at least five times and constantly had the books on CD in her car.

One of my friends is known for always having candy on him — so often that someone once told him he was like a piñata. He also has a whole drawer of candy in his room.

One of my coworkers is obsessed with matching. It’s to the point where he must

have 200 baseball hats in all different colors and shades. Another coworker and friend loves animals and trees more than anyone I know. Have a question about Alpines? Ask her. Want to know where to find a cute picture of a kitty online? She’ll know.

Tonight USU graphic design students are showcasing pieces of who they are with an exhibit at the Bullen Center. The theme of the night is “I AM,” and the designs are as different as the people who made them. Some are colorful, others are subtle, and there a bunch of them are abstract and thought-provoking.

If I were to design a portrait of me, it would include a sunflower somewhere, or maybe running shoes. There would possibly be a map in the background because I’m always dying to travel. Or, maybe it could depict my irrational fear of ghosts or my love for pizza.

To see more of the creative designs by the students, flip to the middle of the magazine, and better yet, come to the exhibit.

Count Basie music celebrated next week

T

he Jazz Kicks Band, sponsored by the USU Music Department and led by Larry Smith, is giving a Spring Concert May 3 in the new Performance Hall on the USU campus. The concert begins at 7:30.

Admission is $8. All students are admitted free.

The music of Count Basie will be performed in this concert. The popular Count Basie Band was one of the few big bands that kept touring long after most big band leaders had given up. The Basie band still continues to tour, though without the Count, who died in 1984.

Bill (Count) Basie was born in Red Bank, N.J. As a child, he studied piano with his mother. His first professional jobs were accompanying vaudeville acts.

It was while traveling with a vaudeville act that Basie was stranded in Kansas City, Mo., around 1928. Soon he was playing with the top bands in Kansas

City. He was pianist for the Benny Moten band when Moten died after a tonsilectomy in 1935.

Basie, with some of the stars of the Moten band, started his own seven-piece group and became very popular in KC. They played head arrangements in a loose rhythmic style that has become known as Kan-

sas City Swing.

New York talent scout, music critic, enthusiast and promoter John Hammond heard the band on the radio and went to KC to see if they were as good as they sounded. After he heard the band play, he convinced Basie to enlarge the band and go to New York City. The

Basie band went to New Pianist Liz WoolYork by way of Chiley is featured on “The cago with many stops Kid from Red Bank,” along the way, playing and tenor saxophonist a lot of jobs to help get Mike Reeder is soloist the new larger band on “Wind Machine.” into condition to play Andrew Watkins plays NYC.

solos on “Swingin’ the Blues.” Bassist and vocalist Jim Schaub will sing “Sent for You Yesterday (and here you come today)” and “Every Day I Have the Blues.” “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” and “Trav’lin’ Light” will be sung by Monica Fronk.

The Jazz Kicks Band includes Greg Wheeler, Nathan Mensink, Larry Smith, Mike Reeder and Tyler Whittaker, saxophones; Hal Briggs, J. Paul Ward, Grayson Osborne, and Jared Nicholson, trumpets; Andrew Watkins, Jay Nygaard, Spencer Jensen and Todd Fallis, trombones; Liz Wooley, piano; Michael Frew, guitar; Jim Schaub, bass; Jason Nicholson, drums; and Monica Fronk, vocalist. Many of the band members played in the Crestmark Orchestra that played for the popular Glenn Miller Show at USU. Now the band plays for the Celebrate America Show in early September at the TSC Ballroom.

Community orchestra performing Sunday

he Cache Symphony T Orchestra will be performing their annual spring concert on

Sunday, May 1, at the Kent Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

The orchestra will begin their performance with the Overture to Verdi’s opera La Forza del Destino, or “The Force of Destiny,” an intense and emotional piece that reflects the love, mystery and revenge found in the opera. This will be followed by Beethoven’s Symphony 7, one of his lesserknown but more beautiful works.

The orchestra will then feature two soloists. Caitlyn Clark will

perform the second movement from the Dvorak Cello Concerto.

Caitlyn, 17, has worked with famed violinist, Jenny Oaks Baker, as well as members of the Utah Symphony, Jupiter Quartet, and Cypress Quartet. She teaches cello lessons and is considering a degree in music education.

Melanie Hicken will perform the first movement of Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto. Melanie has been playing the violin since 3rd grade and also specializes in piano and vocal performance, participates in Logan High’s audition choir, and has participated in two school musicals.

The finale will be a piece written by the famous Johann Sebastian Bach, who is most known for his organ music. This Prelude and Fugue was arranged for orchestra

by J.J. Abert and will finish off the concert in a traditional baroque style.

The Cache Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Robert Frost, is an 85+ member, all-volunteer group. Anyone interested in participating in or donating to the orchestra can send an email to CacheOrchestra@gmail.com.

A

s a child Sarah Olsen would head out to her backyard and swing and sing for hours for all the neighborhood to hear. She grew up taking piano lessons, and was raised on her dad’s favorite classic rock bands. In seventh grade Olsen picked up a guitar and never stopping playing. The 20-year-old from Young Ward now writes her own songs and performs locally a few times a month. A music therapy student at USU, Olsen says writing, studying and playing music will be a part of her for a long, long time.

why sound’s upcoming shows Why Sound is located at 30 Federal Avenue in Logan. The following shows are $5.

Saturday, April 30: Welcome to the Woods with Michael Dee and Tex will perform folk/country music at 8 p.m.

Friday, May 6: Third Strike with Nescience and Stankbot will perform rock/alternative music at 8 p.m.

Saturday, May 7: Poor Ophelia with Buffalo, Utah, and Jake Ballentine will perform acoustic music at 8 p.m.

Friday, May 13: Racecar Racecar with Paul Christiansen and Sarah Olsen will perform acoustic music at 8 p.m.

• “I released my first album last May and it was quite an adventure. I’d always dreamed of recording a CD, so when I got the opportunity to record in Salt Lake City with Russ Dixon I was ecstatic.”

• For her album, “Just Another Day,” Olsen’s dad would drive her to Salt Lake City every few weeks where she would record in the studio for six to eight hours a day.

• Someday Olsen would like to record a CD with kid songs.

• “My goal in music is to honor God. He has placed so many beautiful things in my life and in this world.”

• Last fall Olsen started playing with musicians Sam Wright on the mandolin and harmonica, and Jay Nygaard, who plays percussion.

• “I play guitar and sing my heart out, but really the boys do all the work. Jay plays a variety of drums, djembe, cajon, conga, shakers. Sam plays his mandolin and harmonica and we’re working on using his banjo and bass skills soon.”

• She admires The Police, Led-Zeppelin, Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young and Journey, but says the music that really impacts her sound and lyrics “isn’t quite as rockin’.”

• “Anyone who knows me well can tell you that I love Sting. His music is amazing and if you pay attention to his lyrics you’ll notice they have a lot more meaning than is seen on the surface. He tells a story through them, like a window into his life, and I hope I can somehow catch a similar curiosity in the way I write.”

Film New this week “Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil” Rated PG ★ Red Riding Hood needs a better agent.

Months after being refashioned in a werewolf tale, she’s back in this computer-animated sequel to the mostly forgotten 2005 original.

The fractured fairy tale has returned with 3-D graphics, more polished animation and less wit. There was some madcap charm to the earlier “Hoodwinked!” which reinterpreted the story of Red Riding Hood as a “Rashomon”-style detective story. This sequel, directed by Mike Disa, takes the same characters and instead of refashioning a fairy tale, casts them in an action film plot. Red (Hayden Panettiere assuming Anne Hathaway’s role), Wolf (Patrick Warburton), Twitchy (an overcaffeinated squirrel voiced

by Cory Edwards) and Granny (Glenn Close) are now special agents in the Happily Ever After Agency. Led by the dapper, long-legged frog Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), they pursue the kidnapped Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler) when they’re taken by a witch (Joan Cusack). The frame is more “Mission: Impossible” than Brothers Grimm. The result is a more professional-looking film with less comedy. If only the talented voice cast had written it, too. 85 minutes.

“Prom” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 It’s not just prom, it’s Disney’s “Prom.”

And so no one smokes, no one sneaks in peach schnapps in a flask and no one gets lucky in the back of a limo. This

is all about that magical night when everyone gets together, regardless of the social hierarchy that had been firmly in place the past four years, and dreams come true.

Wholesome, earnest dreams for wholesome, earnest kids — except for the resident bad boy, that is. But naturally, he’ll turn out to have a heart of gold. Yes, director Joe Nussbaum’s film, from a script by Katie Wech, is chock-full of high-school movie cliches — sometimes knowingly and amusingly so. There’s a tall, misfit character named Lloyd (Nicholas Braun) who resembles “Say Anything ...”-era John Cusack — a tall, misfit character named Lloyd. Of course, the straight-arrow good girl (Aimee Teegarden) will get stuck working with the motorcycle-riding rebel (Thomas McDonell), and they will see through their respective prejudices to

not only get along but fall for each other. Still, the sweetness and guilelessness of “Prom” is actually strangely charming, and for its target audience — girls who are several years away from having to pick out that perfect dress — this will be a safe, enjoyable and validating little diversion. 103 minutes.

Still playing

“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 harvest 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 rolling and the blood flowing for the main event: Campbell’s celebrity victim Sidney Prescott returns to her hometown on a book tour for her memoir about surviving her encounters with the various Ghostface slashers. Her arrival coincides with the anniversary of the original slayings, when the town’s teenage Sidney idolaters already are in a frenzy for the annual “Stabathon” party

built around the Hollywood franchise inspired by her experiences. Of course, bodies pile up as a new Ghostface goes on a rampage. 111 minutes.

“Water for Elephants” Rated PG-13 ★★ There are times you should just keep on ignoring the elephant in the room, and this is one.

Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson’s adaptation of Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel about romance and intrigue in a Depression-era circus plods along at a pachyderm’s pace. Witherspoon and Pattinson are a three-ring snooze-fest together, bringing little passion to a love story supposedly so fiery, it blows the roof off the big top. Pattinson’s a destitute ex-veterinary student who falls in with circus folks, where he and the

show’s star (Witherspoon) fall in love while making friends with an elephant.

The movie’s star attraction is Christoph Waltz, who won an Academy Award as a gleefully psychotic Nazi in “Inglourious Basterds” and here delivers another wicked performance as Witherspoon’s hubby, the cruel, jealous circus ringleader.

Waltz commands every moment that he’s on screen, highlighting how dull fellow Oscar-winner Witherspoon and “Twilight” heartthrob Pattinson are. Director Francis Lawrence (“Constantine,” ‘’I Am Legend”) throttles down from action flicks and sputters through this treacly love triangle (or love quadrangle, if you throw in the elephant).

121 minutes.

It’s a horsepower, testosteronefueled thrill ride. With summer action movies right around the corner, I don’t think we’d have it any other way.

USU graphic design portraits to be displayed at exhibit

G

raduating graphic design students in Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts Art Department have put on a yearend exhibition for years. But this time around, there are a few new wrinkles to the show, and this year’s graduating class is hoping to make it a night to remember.

The students have partnered with the Logan Downtown Alliance, bringing their show to the Bullen Center. And a heavy-hitting list of sponsors such as Gia’s, The Beehive Grill, Great Harvest Bread Company, Iron Gate Grill, Crumb Brothers, Cafe Ibis and Cache Valley Center for the Arts will be on hand to provide food and other types of support geared toward making the exhibition a real community event for all of Cache Valley, not just USU students and their fami-

lies, to enjoy.

Here’s how it came about. At the beginning of the semester, Associate Professor Alan Hashimoto had his students split up into groups to determine propositions for the show and what identity the exhibit would have.

One of those groups came up with the idea of taking this year’s show off USU campus and into the thick of things, and they thought the Bullen Center would be a great place to make that happen. Jeremy Wilkins, one of the 38 students who will be featured in the show, was part of that group.

“We just liked the idea of having an arts-based show in an art community, down in the arts district down there,” Wilkins said. “We felt it was a good fit; it’s a big open area. And I think that’s where the idea

stemmed to approach Gary Saxton of the Alliance and see if they wanted to get involved with it.”

The students determined the identity of the show to be “I AM,” with the idea being that their show should be as much about themselves as about their art.

“Kind of with the identity of the show as a whole, we wanted to represent that the graphic design department up here, we’re all different,” Wilkins said.

“We’re all individuals.”

The center, at 43 S. Main in Logan and adjacent to the Ellen Eccles Theatre, enjoys a recognizable presence in a location central to Cache Valley, and there is also plenty of free parking nearby. The show will take place tonight from 6 to 9 p.m.

Meet six of the 38 students who will be part of tonight’s exhibition:

About Kory’s design: “Basically, I’m a pretty literal person, so when we were talking about the faces, I figured I’d just do my face. And more than anything, I have a style of design that I enjoy doing, so that’s what I went with. I love textures, I love intricate designs, I like subtle things that you have to get up close and notice.”

About Mckall’s design: “I was going for more kind of like a memorable kind of shot, and I wanted something unique and something where people, if they knew me, they knew it was me. But then other people are like ‘Who is this?’ So when they come to the show and they see, they’re like ‘Oh, now that’s what you look like!’ So it’s kind of a cool thing I just wanted to do that made it a lot different.”

About Mandy’s design: “Originally I had Jeremy take a picture of myself with a piece of duct tape across my mouth. But when I took the picture into Illustrator to give it that live-trace look ... , it didn’t work very well. And honestly my design is kind of an accident. I got frustrated, and I just started scribbling around, and I realized that the scribbling worked better than the duct tape, so I went with it.”

About Jeremy’s design: “I wanted to represent myself as an individual and what makes me who I am. So the type that is conveyed on the poster, different attributes or different things that make me who I am: designer, husband, father, printmaker, photographer, all these different things.”

About Becky’s design: “I didn’t necessarily want a whole picture of my face, because I’m kind of a shy person, and I’d rather people not know who that is. So I cropped it on my eye, because that’s the most recognizable part of my face. And I put it behind a crop line also, kind of hiding, shy, because I feel like that’s my personality, and that’s what I wanted to show.”

USU graphic design portraits to be displayed at exhibit

G

raduating graphic design students in Utah State University’s Caine College of the Arts Art Department have put on a yearend exhibition for years. But this time around, there are a few new wrinkles to the show, and this year’s graduating class is hoping to make it a night to remember.

The students have partnered with the Logan Downtown Alliance, bringing their show to the Bullen Center. And a heavy-hitting list of sponsors such as Gia’s, The Beehive Grill, Great Harvest Bread Company, Iron Gate Grill, Crumb Brothers, Cafe Ibis and Cache Valley Center for the Arts will be on hand to provide food and other types of support geared toward making the exhibition a real community event for all of Cache Valley, not just USU students and their fami-

lies, to enjoy.

Here’s how it came about. At the beginning of the semester, Associate Professor Alan Hashimoto had his students split up into groups to determine propositions for the show and what identity the exhibit would have.

One of those groups came up with the idea of taking this year’s show off USU campus and into the thick of things, and they thought the Bullen Center would be a great place to make that happen. Jeremy Wilkins, one of the 38 students who will be featured in the show, was part of that group.

“We just liked the idea of having an arts-based show in an art community, down in the arts district down there,” Wilkins said. “We felt it was a good fit; it’s a big open area. And I think that’s where the idea

stemmed to approach Gary Saxton of the Alliance and see if they wanted to get involved with it.”

The students determined the identity of the show to be “I AM,” with the idea being that their show should be as much about themselves as about their art.

“Kind of with the identity of the show as a whole, we wanted to represent that the graphic design department up here, we’re all different,” Wilkins said.

“We’re all individuals.”

The center, at 43 S. Main in Logan and adjacent to the Ellen Eccles Theatre, enjoys a recognizable presence in a location central to Cache Valley, and there is also plenty of free parking nearby. The show will take place tonight from 6 to 9 p.m.

Meet six of the 38 students who will be part of tonight’s exhibition:

About Kory’s design: “Basically, I’m a pretty literal person, so when we were talking about the faces, I figured I’d just do my face. And more than anything, I have a style of design that I enjoy doing, so that’s what I went with. I love textures, I love intricate designs, I like subtle things that you have to get up close and notice.”

About Mckall’s design: “I was going for more kind of like a memorable kind of shot, and I wanted something unique and something where people, if they knew me, they knew it was me. But then other people are like ‘Who is this?’ So when they come to the show and they see, they’re like ‘Oh, now that’s what you look like!’ So it’s kind of a cool thing I just wanted to do that made it a lot different.”

About Mandy’s design: “Originally I had Jeremy take a picture of myself with a piece of duct tape across my mouth. But when I took the picture into Illustrator to give it that live-trace look ... , it didn’t work very well. And honestly my design is kind of an accident. I got frustrated, and I just started scribbling around, and I realized that the scribbling worked better than the duct tape, so I went with it.”

About Jeremy’s design: “I wanted to represent myself as an individual and what makes me who I am. So the type that is conveyed on the poster, different attributes or different things that make me who I am: designer, husband, father, printmaker, photographer, all these different things.”

About Becky’s design: “I didn’t necessarily want a whole picture of my face, because I’m kind of a shy person, and I’d rather people not know who that is. So I cropped it on my eye, because that’s the most recognizable part of my face. And I put it behind a crop line also, kind of hiding, shy, because I feel like that’s my personality, and that’s what I wanted to show.”

About Matt’s design: “It’s a picture of myself, but the picture’s not actually there. It’s all type to create the highlights and the lowlights and stuff like that. I used words that meant something to me, like family and design, things I use in my life, things that are close to me. I just wanted to represent myself through the words.

It’s very recognizable, you can tell it’s me. It’s not very abstract, but at the same time I just used words that are important to me.”

Slightly Off Center

Will the flood come like filling a swimming pool or like a Tsunami? All the satellites will still be whirling around out there in space so will we still have internet and satellite TV? Speaking of space, why limit the ark exodus to Earth, why not just blast off and start looking for other planets? There are countless movies about other aliens trying to lay claim to Earth, why couldn’t we cruise the universe looking for a new place to plant our flags and corn?

There are so many choices to ponder on a rainy day.

I know the biblical version made sure that all the animals temporarily got along on the single ark but with all the extra space we would have today, we could just let the food chain continue letting animals eat whom they usually eat so long as we keep the populations in check. We probably wouldn’t have to let as many people drown with all these cruise ships. Of course the other

question is could we humans all get along? Just think how cranky your family gets on a long road trip in a minivan. It would be like that times 100.

Thirty or 40 years of “are we there yet?”

It’s an interesting intellectual exercise but I doubt I will be offered a seat when the flood comes down. At my age I wouldn’t be considered a good candidate for repopulating a post-flood world, but maybe I could get on as a member of the crew. I think I would make a really good, cranky old door man.

“Okay stop all that squawking; everyone needs to be patient, we’ve got a long line here,” I would announce on a bullhorn.

“Unicorns? Seriously, get out of here; you’ll put somebody’s eye out.” Next…

“Nematodes, I know you are there somewhere come on board.”

I’m about ready to build a boat this spring

T

his alleged spring has got me thinking about boats of biblical proportions. Could the world flood happen again and, if so, how would we handle it?

Would we utilize current cruise ships and a military flotilla?

Certainly the hippos and otters would be more comfortable in the cruise ship swimming pools and giraffes could stretch their legs on the decks of air craft carriers. Submarines might be nice places for bats and hibernating beasts.

One of the many things that weren’t clear in the first edition of the flood was how birds and aquatic animals handled the circumstances. While humans and terrestrial animals took the news pretty hard, I imagine the whales, salmon and sharks being quite happy with the turn of events. Whatever god our finned friends pray to, they must have felt like someone was listening.

Would they swim alongside the ark or just go about their

Would the birds and insects fly around all day and just roost on the boats at night? We have to work these things out.

Maybe we could make a giant floating island out of the billions of plastic bottles we have been throwing away.

“Bed bugs? No way. We’re learning from our mistakes this time.”

“Big foot? Oh sure you show up now. Where have you been hiding? Mind if I take a couple pictures?”

“Table for two, table for two, that’s all I hear all day long,” I’d say.

I probably wouldn’t really be very good at the job.

Chances are I’ll be left to sleep with the fishes in the flood sequel.

Ben Stiller returns to familiar Broadway play

By The Associated Press

EW YORK — N When most successful actors thank their

moms for helping their careers, few are as literal as Ben Stiller.

Back as a 20-year-old wannabe actor just starting out in New York in the mid-1980s, Stiller was auditioning with various degrees of failure when he heard about a new production of the play “The House of Blue Leaves.”

Try as he might, Stiller couldn’t arrange an audition. “The casting director had seen me in something used it as a launching pad for a career in film and and didn’t think I was TV that has veered from right,” he recalls. “So I the adult “Greenberg” to asked my mom — the the kiddie “Night at the only time I asked my Museum.” mom to help me.”

Stiller acknowledges that he was intimidated at first to tackle the part, having fond memories of John Mahoney playing the part opposite Swoosie Kurtz and Stockard Channing. But he thinks he and Falco and Leigh have created a new legacy.

Stiller says that though he’s now a star, he still identifies with his character’s longing for fame and recognition. On three different occasions, Artie Shaughnessy cries out that he’s “too old to be a young talent.”

“As an actor, I can relate to all of it. I think any actor can, no matter what level of success you have.

Memoir highlights long-term health care challenges

By The Associated Press

ecades after screen D star Bette Davis famously declared that "growing old is

not for sissies," Estelle Gross expanded on the woes of the ailing aged with her lament that people live too long and die too slowly.

On the day after the Sept.

11 attacks, after helping cover that story for The New York Times, an exhausted Jane Gross was finally able to drop by the nursing home a few miles north of ground zero where her mother had just moved to what would be her final residence. In a furious maternal vent, she greeted her daughter by saying, "I wish those planes had hit this building."

Gross was a feisty octogenarian with a grab bag of chronic conditions that for nearly three years forced her

to rely on others to carry out the simplest of daily activities. On the other hand, her cognitive abilities remained sharp until the end, a contrast to many others in her nursing home who endured the ravages of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

Gross' ordeal, and that of her daughter as principal caregiver, is one that is becoming more widespread as baby boomers are compelled to reverse the roles of their childhood and take on the challenging task of becoming their parents' parents.

In her book, "A Bittersweet Season: Caring for Our Aging Parents —and Ourselves," Gross, who went on to launch a blog called The New Old Age, recounts her own experiences in shepherding her mother through the intricacies and indignities of long-term care.

‘The Sandalwood Tree’ an intriguing mystery

By The Associated Press

f you like your love stoIhistory, ries sweeping and wrapped in "The Sandal-

wood Tree" by Elle Newmark has it all.

The narrative switches between India in two generations, the mid-19th century and post-World War II. The 1947 narrator is Evie, an American whose marriage is on the rocks after her husband returned a changed man from the war. When he wins a Fulbright scholarship to document the end of British colonial rule in India, the family (they have a 5-year-old son, Billy) joins him for an exotic adventure that Evie hopes will be a new beginning

for them all.

It's not long after they move into their bungalow that Evie discovers a stash of letters behind a kitchen wall. In epistolary style, we're then introduced to Felicity Chadwick and Adela Winfield, young British women who fail to find husbands in England and are shipped off to India by their families in the hope they'll have better luck there. They make their home from 1856 to 1858 in the bungalow Evie resides.

Perhaps the mystery of what happened to Felicity and Adela will somehow help Evie find her own peace.

The narrative begins in 2000 with Estelle Gross' move from Florida to New York, a "reverse migration" that is becoming more common for parents who need chronic care. It ends in 2003, when she dies at 88 in a nursing home after a decline that left

her paralyzed, incontinent, unable to speak and unable to eat on her own.

An incisive reporter with a fine eye for detail, Gross laces her account of her mother's decline and its impact on her own life with suggestions and warnings for other caregivers who find themselves in similar situations: Avoid the chaos of hospital emergency rooms, assume that costs associated with long-term care are not reimbursable by Medicare, find a family doctor, internist or — best of all — a geriatrician to manage the inevitable cascade of medical problems.

Gross recounts a succession of middle-of-the-night phone calls, emergency summonses from the workplace, financial costs that swiftly escalate and the need to play social engineer to ensure that nursing home staff aren't slacking off when the need arises to

change diapers or prevent bed sores.

"Once a parent has passed eighty-five, easy and affordable passings are few and far between. Believing you're going to get one is magical thinking," she writes.

The book is written from the perspective of the caregiver — more often a daughter than a son — whose relationship with the parent can be fraught with decades of resentment and other family baggage. In the author's case, however, the ordeal brought her closer to her mother.

The path isn't smooth, but rather an all-consuming and emotional roller coaster ride that Gross describes as "living in a soup of fear, guilt, heartbreak, resentment, loneliness, and exhaustion from bearing the weight of so much responsibility."
