see an essay and a handful of photos by Mimi Avery, a mom who lost her little boy, Julian, to cancer just before his 5th birthday.

Mimi’s essay is definitely the first of its kind for this publication, at least since I’ve been editor. But when I read it and saw the pictures of sweet Julian, I couldn’t resist running it. Maybe after you read it you’ll feel encouraged to do something, to take action, to join Mimi in her fight against childhood cancer. If one person joins the crusade, well, we’ve done our job.

I know Mimi only by reading her blog. I’ve never met her, never talked to her — we’ve sent a total of four e-mails back and forth. But I do know she’s hurt and angry and wants to do something, and hopes to change the world and the world’s perception where sick children are concerned.

To learn more, you can e-mail Mimi at myriamtx@yahoo.com; visit her blog at www. carepages.com/carepages/JuliansWorld; or visit the CureSearch foundation at www.cure

I’ll leave you with some statistics: Nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population is younger than 20. In this age group: • Approximately 12,400 are diagnosed with cancer each year.

• In 1998, about 2,500 died of cancer.

• About one in 300 boys and one in 333 girls will develop cancer.

• The frequency that cancer is diagnosed has risen since the 1970s for some types of childhood cancer, but rates have been fairly stable in more recent years.

• The incidence of childhood cancer peaks in the first year of life. Incidence is higher for children younger than 5 and for those ages 15 to 19, and lower for children ages 5 to 14.

• Cancer is the most common disease-related cause of death for ages 1 to 20.

Pet: Houndy From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: “Everyone at the shelter loves Houndy. He’s an attractive dog that is a social butterfly at Four Paws. He gets along great with the other dogs but hasn’t been with cats since coming to us. We estimate he is about 4 to 5 years old. Don’t let his name fool you — he’s not a noisy guy and is just happy hanging out with his friends.

He is one of those dogs that we can’t capture on film just how darn handsome he really is. Please consider meeting him in person. We guarantee you’ll be hooked!” The adoption fee for Houndy is $125, which includes the spay/neuter. We show dogs by appointment only.

Glee Club to present annual Spring Concert

T

he Imperial Glee Club, now in its 93rd year of performing throughout the greater Cache Valley area, will present its Spring Concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 23, at the Logan 10th Ward building, 792 N. 500 East.

Admission is free. The program will include patriotic selections, AfricanAmerican spirituals and sacred music sung in four-part male harmony.

Everyone is invited.

ulti-talented star Donny Osmond will bring a taste of Las Vegas to Northern Utah when he headlines a Memorial Day tribute concert at 8 p.m. at the Kent Concert Hall at USU. Tickets are $48, $40 or $35 and can be purchased online through the Caine School of the Arts Box Office (http://boxoffice.usu.edu) or by calling 797-8022.

The concert is a benefit event for USU’s departments of music and theater arts and is under the direction of Music Department Head Craig Jessop.

Osmond will perform his solo segment from the “Donny & Marie Show” now in the midst of its sold-out, two-year run at the Flamingo Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.

The concert will also feature the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra, under Jessop’s direction, and Utah artist Jessie Clark Funk.

A pre-concert benefit dinner is also being offered.

Contact USU’s Caine School of the Arts Box Office at 797-8022 for availability of dinner tickets.

he Bridger Folk Music Society will preset a concert with singer/songwriter Nancy Cook at 7:30 p.m. at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan. Tickets are $10 and available at the door or by calling 757-3468. Seating is limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

In the course of her musical career, Cook’s songs have taken her far and wide, great distances from her Florida roots — the Pacific Northwest, through the Rocky Mountains, down to Texas, out to Georgia, Tennessee and Indiana, and overseas to Italy, Jordan, Japan and Korea.

After living in Florida through her early 20s, Cook now calls the Breckenridge area (in the Colorado Rockies, about an hour west of Denver) home.

These days, though, “home” might more accurately describe the interior of her car, as she continues to travel extensively to reach a wider audience.

he Bridger Folk Music Society will present a concert with Colorado-based troubadour Danny Shafer at 7:30 p.m. at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or by calling 757-3468.

Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

With more than 100 shows a year, his performance ranges from troubadour, fingerstyle to country blues.

In every setting, Shafer brings his acclaimed songwriting. This reputation has brought him to esteemed venues such as The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, The Boulder Theater, The Fox Theatre, Swallow Hill and also as a finalist in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s Troubadour contest in 2004.

OKALGROWN will perform at 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, at the Brigham City Fine Arts Center, 58 S. 100 West. Tickets are $5 in advance from band members or $7 at the door. To learn more about the band, visit www.lokalgrown.com or e-mail lokalgrown@hotmail.com.

Members Nathan Davis of Brigham City, Jacob Callister of Oregon, Quinn Dietlein of Salt Lake City, Keith Sorensen of Layton, Phillip Leffler of California and Matt Kline of Salt Lake City got their start in Logan while attending Utah State University. Over the past eight years they have been entertaining crowds throughout Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Budapest, Hungary.

Local venues have included

the USANA amphitheater, Layton City Amphitheater, Hale Centre Theatre, La Caille, Gardner Village and the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Although the band is now spread from Oregon to Southern California, five of the original group members — Davis, Callister, Dietlein, Sorensen and Kline — will be together again in Brigham City later this month. Leffler, the “heart throb” of the band and rhythm guitar player, wasn’t able to make it this time, but Dietlein said what they are missing in looks they will make up for in the music.

They love and play a wide variety of music, claiming influence from the sounds of Coldplay, Neil Young, the Eagles, Dave Matthews, Martin Sexton, Snow Patrol, Bob Dylan, Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Fray.

Series explores ‘Superhero’s Universe’ EADY TO PUT ON R some “superhuman” glasses and view the universe

in a whole new way? Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to the Science Unwrapped presentation of “The Superhero’s Universe: Observing the Cosmos with X-ray Vision and Beyond” with USU physicist Michelle Larson at 7 p.m.

Friday, May 29, in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Cen-

ter on campus. Refreshments will be served.

Admission is free and everyone is invited.

“What you see in Larson the night sky depends on how you look at it,” said Larson, assistant provost and adjunct associate

professor in USU’s physics department. “A single object will appear very differently when viewed in radio waves, visible light, x-rays or gravitational waves. We’re going to explore these differences.”

Hands-on demonstrations about various aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum will follow Larson’s presentation.

Attendees will receive spectral glasses that enable the user to view a rainbow spec-

trum of colors from a light source.

The presentation is the opening segment of Science Unwrapped’s “Windows on the Cosmos” series, which celebrates the International Year of Astronomy and continues through fall 2009.

Presentations are held the last Friday of each month.

Film New this week “Dance Flick” Rated PG-13 (N/A) A review for “Dance Flick” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.

RottenTomatoes.com: “‘Dance Flick’ is a hilarious new comedy that brings together the talents of two generations of the Wayans family, the explosively funny clan who brought us the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise and ‘White Chicks.’ In ‘Dance Flick,’ a young street dancer, Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans Jr.), from the wrong side of the tracks and a beautiful young woman, Megan White (Shoshana Bush), are brought together by their passion for dancing and put to the test in the mother of all dance battles.” PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, and language. 83 min.

Still playing “Angels & Demons” Rated PG-13 ★★ Blessedly, “Angels & Demons” is more entertaining and less self-serious than its predecessor, the dense and dreary yet enormously successful “The Da Vinci Code.” In adapting another of author Dan Brown’s religious-mystery page turners, Ron Howard wisely gave in to its beat-the-clock thriller elements, which makes for a more enjoyable summer-movie experience.

But its twists, turns and revelations are just as ridiculous as those in “The Da Vinci Code” — perhaps even more so — and it breezes through arcane details with just as much dizzying speed.

The key players are back from that 2006 international hit, including Tom Hanks as Harvard professor and symbologist Robert Langdon and Akiva Goldsman as screenwriter (joined this time

by David Koepp). Although the book “Angels & Demons” came out before “The Da Vinci Code,” the film is positioned as a sequel to take advantage of the strained relationship between Langdon and the Vatican — only this time, it’s his expertise the folks there reluctantly need. With the pope dead and the College of Cardinals about to meet in conclave to

New this week!

“Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” Rated PG ★★ This is one of those sequels in which “bigger” is supposed to mean “better,” in which more characters, more sight gags and more adventures are supposed to add up to more fun. They don’t. The follow-up to the enormous 2006 hit “Night at the Museum” heaps on the historical figures and crams them into not one but two museums, with the end result feeling crazed, scattered and desperate. So many new characters have been added to the ones who appeared in the original film, and director Shawn Levy flits between them at such a zippy pace, no one gets much of a chance to register. And that’s a huge waste of the comic talents amassed among the cast.

Besides returning stars Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan and choose a replacement, a secret society known as the Illuminati has kidnapped the four likeliest candidates. Langdon must decipher clues at various churches and historical sites throughout Rome to prevent the killing of the cardinals, one every hour, leading to a bomb explosion at the Vatican. But wait, we haven’t even gotten to the most laughable part of the story yet! Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgaard and Armin Mueller-Stahl are among the estimable supporting cast, all of whom have enjoyed

Robin Williams, now we have Amy Adams, Hank Azaria, Christopher Guest, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader. Having said all that, kids are the primary targets for a lot of the visuals and will probably enjoy themselves. Stiller gets smacked around by two capuchin monkeys this time, and the T-Rex skeleton that acts like a playful pup should provoke some giggles. Stiller, as former night guard Larry Daley, returns to Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History and discovers that the friends who came to life in the middle of the night are being shipped off to storage at the Smithsonian in Washington. And so he must step into action and save them, while also battling the Egyptian ruler Kahmunrah (Azaria), who has awaked from a 3,000-year slumber with plans to take over the museum — and the world. PG for mild action and brief language. 105 min. the benefits of stronger material but manage to supply gravitas nonetheless. PG-13 for sequences of violence, disturbing images and thematic material. 138 min.

“Star Trek” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 J.J. Abrams’ hugely anticipated summer extravaganza boldly goes to the past within the distant future of the “Star Trek” universe, years ahead of the TV series and the myriad movies and spin-offs it spawned. And in doing so, he and his longtime

collaborators, writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, change everything you know — or obsess about, if you’re into this kind of thing — about the kitschy pop-culture phenomenon. It’s a daring and exciting approach that’s sure to tickle and provoke purists, while at the same time probably cause neophytes to feel a bit lost. A major plot twist pops up about halfway through the film (along with Leonard Nimoy), one that doesn’t exactly work and from which the film never completely recovers, and from there the adventures feel a bit repetitive. Having said that, Abrams clearly aimed to appeal to the broadest possible moviegoing audience with this dazzling visual spectacle while also leaving plenty of Easter eggs for the hardcore fans to find. It’s an absolutely gorgeous film with impeccable production design — the lighting is wondrous, almost heavenly — and lovely, tiny details frequently emerge from within the larger, grander images. Abrams certainly puts on a good show — between “Lost” and the 2006 “Mission: Impossible” sequel he directed, there’s no question the man knows how to stage an action sequence — and the opening gets things off to a thrilling start.

He efficiently and satisfyingly presents the back stories of the men who will become Capt.

James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and the half-Vulcan, half-human Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) and puts them on a collision course with each other, which ups the

excitement level early. John Cho, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana and Eric Bana co-star. PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence and brief sexual content. 127 min.

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Rated PG-13 ★★ Hugh Jackman’s mutant Wolverine goes to war in a prologue for this “X-Men” prequel where the immortal mutant and his brother (Liev Schreiber) fight in all the big ones, from the Civil War to Vietnam. The battles set a predictable tone from which director Gavin Hood rarely deviates. Hood presents one duel after another, with a brief respite for sappy romance so Wolverine can get really mad and hellbent on vengeance over his dead girlfriend (Lynn Collins). Wolverine fights his brother, he fights other mutants, then he fights his brother some more on his way to becoming the amnesiac, metalclawed freak of nature Jackman played in the “X-Men” trilogy.

For all the action, there’s never much real sense of adventure or risk. Unlike the upcoming “Star Trek” prequel, which truly casts the starship Enterprise crew into an uncharted future, “Wolverine” is a setup for stories fans already have seen.

We know Wolverine’s going to take his lumps but come out OK (though minus his memories) by the time the credits roll. PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some partial nudity. 107 min.

HRISTIAN BALE (“The Dark Knight”) gained some undesired press this past winter when an audio clip of him having a nuclear meltdown on the set of “Terminator Salvation” aired on TV, radio and spread to every corner of the Web. Meltdowns on movie sets happen all the time, so I’m sure Mr. Bale probably felt like he’d been de-pantsed and punched in the netherregions by the public, who months earlier were lauding him for his performance in “The Dark Knight.”

The vitriol levied against Bale, whether deserved or not, is understandable. Dropping the F-bomb a wince-worthy 36 times on a diminutive director of photography will earn you societal scorn and personal shame every time. But I have to feel compassion for Bale because I’ve unleashed Hurricane Andy on a multitude of folks ranging from teenage punks to driving-impaired senior citizens to small yappy dogs that nip at my heels when I’m outside running. I also understand now why Bale freaked out. He was stressed and rightly so. “Terminator Salvation” is a plodding mélange of explosions and cool CGI, but has little, if any, compelling substance.

Let’s review history, shall we?

There have been three previous “Terminator” movies in the last 25 years — 1984 is when Gov. Schwarzenegger uttered the famous words “I’ll be back,” and seven years later he returned to headline James Cameron’s sequel, “Terminator

Screening Room

By Andy Morgan

★★ “Terminator Salvation” Rated PG-13

2: Judgment Day.” Where Cameron’s first movie was campy and fresh, the sequel was hitech, ground breaking and bested its predecessor with greater brawn and brains. Twelve years later, and without Cameron at the helm, “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” opened and flopped both commercially and critically. An elderly, plasticfaced Schwarzenegger popped up in “Rise of the Machines,” battling a sophisticated Victoria’s Secret terminator who could morph herself into all sorts of dangerous goodies.

This brings us to 2009 and “Terminator Salvation,” the fourth and newest film in the Terminator quadruplegy.

Between the inordinate amount of nuclear blasts, helicopter crashes, car chases, hulking

robots and gunfire, the wispy storyline revolves around two beefy dudes — John Connor (Bale) and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) — who find themselves at odds with the “machines,” also known as Skynet. These machines, as we heretofore know, became “selfaware” and nuked the entire world and now its minions, ranging from hulking battleships to three-eyed bullet bikes to clunky pirate-looking robots, patrol the ruined landscape looking for human survivors.

The difference between John

and Marcus is one has been told his future since he was a little boy; the other is waking up in the future with no idea how he got here or where he is.

John Connor, and I know the screenwriters meant for this, is sort of a Christ figure in the post-apocalyptic resistance against the Terminators. Many believe the prophecies his mother, Sarah, has been divulging on tapes and in person since he was born. Others, namely the bigwigs, see him as just another

hot-headed, impetuous soldier in a war that must be won, no matter the costs. Resistance leadership has found a signal they believe shuts down the Terminator machines and they enlist Connor and his team in leading the attack on Skynet’s San Francisco headquarters.

Conner’s group of freedom fighters includes his wife, Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard), and trusted warriors Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) and Barnes (Common).

And then we have the matter of Wright, a convicted murder, executed on death row and now reborn in 2018. He pops out of a mud hole and becomes our travel guide, eventually linking up with Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), a mere teenager, but according to prophecy, and of course all the other movies, the father of John Connor. Skynet had Reese on its must-kill-rightaway list because, of course, if they kill him, they subsequently destroy John Connor. It is so See MESS on p.14

Our children are dying! (What will YOU do about it?) very A i m i M By

I

am a 34-year-old mother of four boys. I wish I could have stated four “healthy” boys there …

Unfortunately, one of them was diagnosed with cancer on March 13, 2007, two months short of being 4 years old.

A golfball-sized tumor was removed from his brain and was proved cancerous. My son had become a cancer patient at age 4.

Radiations, chemo, MRIs, spinal taps, bone marrow aspiration … our daily lives … until, after given a 75 to 80 percent chance at a cure, Julian relapsed, then a couple of months later was put on hospice and eventually died on Jan. 19, 2008.

The thing is, Julian is NOT an isolated case — 12,500 children are diagnosed each year (around 35 per day ) in the USA with some form of childhood cancer (brain tumors, bone cancer, soft tissue cancer, blood cancer, central nervous system cancer, and each of these can all be divided into more specific groups). An average of 3,000 children die every year from any of those. That is about eight children per day. So far

this year, 1,100 children have died of childhood cancer in the U.S. alone … our children are dying …

What we, as cancer parents, wonder is WHEN we will see this horror be acknowledged by the media, when will CNN headlines be about the kids …

I, we, want to read, one day, as national headlines: “KIDS GET CANCER TOO!!!” We

want to see awareness spread everywhere, GOLD for everyone to see … the children are our future; we HAVE to save them … why do we not see the media get involved? Are they worried about scaring parents of healthy children?

Maybe. Do they not want to write about one more sad story? Probably … but THIS is reality. People NEED to

know. We don’t have a choice but live it every day. I have seen my child go from being a happy, healthy little guy to him being paralyzed from the neck down, then in a coma, and then gone in less than a year. I watched him take his last breaths, gasping for air until the last second. I held my 4-year-old’s lifeless body, as did his 10-year-old brother.

And again, Julian is only one of 3,000 children who died of cancer in 2008.

Between May 2 and May 13, I went to the celebrations of life of four little boys (age 4 and younger) — FOUR!! In 10 days! And with each little one I kissed goodnight, my anger grew … and with each friend I see walking behind a tiny casket, my hope fades …

When is this going to be a story “big” enough for someone to share it with the world? When will it be enough children being diagnosed or becoming angels for someone to realize things MUST change?

Don’t make us pray for one of your children to get sick to have your attention. Do something! If you need stories to back up all this, we have stories, hundreds, thousands of them; you just have to ask …

And remember, KIDS GET CANCER TOO and it could be your child … maybe not today or tomorrow, but if it happens, hopefully someone will have stepped up to the plate and childhood cancer won’t be such a scary thing anymore …

“The Want to Be Cowboy” (dedicated to Joe Young)

by Terri Barnes When you were just a little man, You always wanted to be The greatest cowboy in your time For all the world to see.

You got up on your stick horse And rode around the yard.

With your guns and hat in hand You would always say, “Well howdy, pard.”

Then as you got older, The rodeo caught your eye.

Trying to hold on tight The bulls dared you to try.

You have been the best that you could be With what life gave you to bear.

And anyone who needed you, You were always there.

So saddle up on more time, And hold the reins real tight, And have no fear of what’s to come As you ride off into the night.

of Brut I had applied to my body. You were a trouper not to ruin the night by not telling me then that you had broken out in hives.

Even after the trip to the emergency room we still had time to drag Main. As you pulled into the turnaround at Pete’s Spudnut, you quickly turned your head and looked over at me instead of your friends seated at the booth. At first I thought that you might have been embarrassed to be seen with me, but then I thought that it was just your way of showing me that at least tonight, I was more important to you than your friends. You were so thoughtful! Remember how I wanted you to stop at Grand Central to get you a little gift? That Herb Alpert album might have sounded cool if you hadn’t accidentally left it under the car when you drove off.

It was way past 11 when I noticed your perpetual yawning, an apparent lack of sleep. When I mentioned that maybe I should get you home, you nodded like a cute puppy getting his bone. You were so anxious to hit the pillow that you inadvertently pulled into your own driveway! “Maybe next time we can go to First Dam,” I stammered. But before you could say “sure” I remembered that I only had one fishing pole. As the porch light flickered on and off, I mentioned that I might be able to fix that switch, and you sighed saying that’s only your dad’s way of saying it’s time to come in. Wow, I thought, one date and she wants me to meet her parents! “Maybe another time,” I said, but your quizzical look showed me you were disappointed.

Author’s tales of manly men a little too macho

By The Associated Press

A

PPARENTLY, women aren’t the only ones who complain that a good man is hard to find.

Author Neil Oliver remembers the long-ago days when “real men” walked the Earth — men who stood tall in battle, men who explored the world’s most dangerous corners — and he hopes tales of their adventures will inspire the next generation of manly men.

It’s a premise that some might find old-fashioned, even insulting. After all, any man who performs honest labor and takes care of his family could be called a “real man.”

But to Oliver, a man is more than that. He extols the virtues of manly men — the sort who traveled to undiscovered shores, who carved a nation from the wilderness, who “lived defiant lives and damn

the consequences.”

In “Amazing Tales for Making Men Out of Boys,” Oliver makes his point with 18 stories of such men. Many of the tales are wellknown and most are told with eloquence and colorful action, although he sometimes tries a little too hard to make his point.

The soldiers who landed at Normandy on D-Day. The 300 Spartans who defended the pass at Thermopylae to the death.

Cmdr. John Paul Jones, who immortalized the words, “I have not yet begun to fight.”

Their stories are all here. So are tales of the Alamo, Apollo 13 and the Charge of the Light Brigade.

In some cases, he acknowledges that history may have inflated the accomplishments of some men.

Consider his story of the Demons of Camerone — some 60 members of the French Foreign Legion who fought to the

“Amazing Tales for Making Men Out of Boys” by Neil Oliver (HarperCollins, 384 pp., $25.99)

death against 2,000 Mexican troops in 1863. After relating the entire story, Oliver acknowledges the facts may have gotten embellished as they were passed down through the generations. No big deal, he says.

“The important thing is to believe such behavior is pos-

sible,” Oliver writes.

Maybe that is the important thing. Despite some flaws in “Amazing Tales,” the author can be forgiven for the earnestness of his goal — to see boys grow up with a sense of courage and adventure.

It sounds like Oliver was such a boy. He comes across as an adult who hasn’t outgrown the superhero dreams of his youth.

“If you don’t instantly remember wanting to own a Bowie knife when you were about 9 years old, then it’s quite possible that you are in fact a girl,” he writes.

As understandable as his zeal might be, it’s still hard to get past the implicit bias in some of his historical accounts. History, after all, is written by the winners, and Oliver seems to have bought into the traditional Western ideas of who the good guys and bad guys were.

For example, the Mexican

troops who killed the French Legionnaires may have been just as heroic, just as willing to die for their ideals and their country.

But Oliver ignores them.

He also ignores the idea that females can be heroic. A fleeting mention of Florence Nightingale is all that women get.

Despite its flaws, “Amazing Tales” is still an entertaining read. Oliver, a sparkling storyteller, has chosen classic stories that are compelling from the first page.

But because they’re so compelling, he doesn’t need to try nearly so hard to make the heroes even more admirable.

He might have made a stronger point had he narrated the stories as straight, unbiased history.

At the least, the book keeps alive the glory of a number of fantastic figures. But it’s not clear that boys who read it will grow up to be any more manly — or that they’ll want to.

Author Jay McInerney returns with short story collection

By The Associated Press

OVELS PUT JAY N McInerney on the literary map. His 1985 cocaine-addled

Gotham fable “Bright Lights, Big City” was his ticket to stardom and established him as the head of what the media termed the “literary Brat Pack.”

Since then, novels have paid his bills and won him no small amount of well-deserved critical acclaim. But McInerney is also a master of the short fiction format. The evidence is collected in his latest book, “How It Ended.”

The usual McInerney trademarks are here, namely New York, money, sex, cocaine and fast living. His protagonists are almost universally attractive, mostly wealthy and often famous. But at its core, the glamour is just window dressing for people who are just as unhappy as the rest of us.

McInerney seems to delight in pulling back the curtain on such lives to show the reader that the beautiful people, often aren’t.

Infidelity is a favorite theme of McInerney’s. He studies it from many different angles in this collection, less as a symptom of lust than of emotional distance between partners. This may be best illustrated by the title story and “Everything Is Lost,” which examine how that distance can grow almost unnoticed from the narrowest fissure to a chasm that swallows relationships.

In other tales, such as “Putting Daisy Down” and “I Love You, Honey,” infidelity is used as a weapon. Even when the partners encourage each other to stray — as in the swinger narrative “Invisible Fences” — the erotic diversion is more than it appears.

The betrayals McInerney

“How It Ended: New and Collected Stories”

by Jay McInerney (Alfred A. Knopf, 352 pp., $25.95)

details aren’t always sexual in nature. They can be familial, as in “The Debutante’s Return” and the particularly moving “The Madonna of Turkey Season” and “Story of My Life.”

Sometimes they are even political, as in “Penelope on the Pond” and the unnerving “My Public Service.”

Although McInerney appears most at home among the elevated strata of society, he isn’t afraid to slum it with gutterdwelling dirt bags (“The Queen and I”), rock ’n’ roll bohemians (“Simple Gifts”), or even 9-to5 wage slaves (“Con Doctor,” “The Waiter”). One of the collection’s most refreshing reads is “In the North-West Frontier Province,” a tale of dissolute backpackers that reads like a taut episode of the National Geographic Channel’s “Locked Up Abroad.”

Few of these stories have happy endings, or any endings at all, actually. Many of them are startlingly brief, leaving the reader with the feeling that there should be at least half a story remaining. But then, that is likely the point. It’s a credit

to the author that the characters he crafts are so strong, the reader continues to care what happens to them after the last page is turned.

Many times, McInerney finishes with an O. Henry-style twist that suggests the events to come. Other times, his clues are so subtle that the reader must backtrack to find them.

Either way, he keeps you off balance. Although he often returns to many of the same themes and settings, you can’t say he’s predictable.

Although McInerney has become defined by his novels, consider that he once studied under the legendary short story writers Raymond Carver and Tobias Wolff.

“Like most novelists, I cut my teeth writing short stories,” McInerney writes in his preface, “and that’s one habit I’ve never been able to break.”

Lucky for us, he hasn’t.

HY WEAR shoes when you run?

Whether you’re a weekend jogger or serious marathoner, the answer’s easy, right? We wear shoes to protect our feet and provide the cushioning necessary for an activity that puts enormous pressure on vulnerable joints.

Yet if that’s the case, Christopher McDougall argues in his new book, “Born to Run,” why has the rate of running injuries increased even as shoes provide ever more padding?

One tidbit sure to stop a few people in their tracks: Studies show that the more expensive your running shoe, the more likely you are to be injured.

McDougall, a runner who beat his own chronic injuries, makes a compelling case that ditching those pricey running shoes in favor of bare feet, or

at least far more basic running apparel, may be the kindest thing you ever do for your body.

But McDougall’s book is far more than a treatise on what runners should — or shouldn’t — wear on their feet. He uses an extended portrait of one of the world’s least known cultures, the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s Copper Canyons, to put modern American running under an exacting magnifying glass.

“Born to Run” starts with a simple question he kept asking his doctors: “How come my foot hurts?”

Their response: Your foot hurts because you run, and running is one of the most stressful things you can do to the human body.

McDougall’s not satisfied, however, and so we get our introduction to the Tarahumara Indians, a retiring tribe renowned for their members’ ability to run long distances — really long distances, 50 and 60 and occasionally more cataclysmic than the physical infirmities presented by the actual patients.

Library Picks A monthly look at what’s flying off the shelves of the Logan Library

New Titles: Recent Literary Fiction Novels “Heart and Soul” by Maeve Binchy A Dublin hospital cardiac care center forms the figurative heart, and forges the symbolic soul, of Binchy’s latest tour-de-force celebration of the simple blessings of a community whose joyous bonds are often eclipsed by the eccentricities of family and the improbable volatility of love. When Dr. Clara Casey becomes manager of the controversial and woefully unsupported outpatient clinic, she swiftly assembles a motley supporting staff of charismatic doctors, compassionate nurses, capable therapists and clever assistants whose personal affairs of the heart are frequently more compelling

“Little Bee” by Chris Cleave Little Bee, smart and stoic, knows two people in England, Andrew and Sarah, journalists she chanced upon on a Nigerian beach after fleeing a massacre in her village, one grisly outbreak in an off-the-radar oil war. After sneaking into England and escaping a rural “immigration removal” center, she arrives at Andrew and Sarah’s London suburb home only to find the violence that haunts her has also poisoned them.

“Still Alice” by Lisa Genova In a highly readable form of bibliotherapy, first-time novelist Genova, who holds a doctorate in neuroscience, meticulously traces the downward spiral of a woman suffering from earlyonset Alzheimer’s disease.

“Honolulu” by Alan Brennert Virtually the only way for a young girl such as Jin to escape the poverty, isolation and desperation of Korea in the early 20th century was to advertise herself as a “picture bride,” eagerly available for marriage to a presumably young, honorable fellow countryman who had already fled to the burgeoning island paradise of Hawaii. Possessed of an insatiable desire for education and an innocent sense of adventure,

miles at a time — in little more than sandals. No $150 running shoes, no bottles of sports drink strategically placed along their running routes, no stretching.

Above all, no injuries.

The Tarahumara channel our evolutionary ability, unique in Jin accepts Noh’s offer, only to realize she’s traded one form of oppression for another when she suffers physical attacks from an alcoholic husband and the psychological abuse of a chauvinistic society.

“Handle With Care” by Jodi Picoult Picoult has carved an impressive niche in the topical family drama genre, tackling medical ethics, faith and the law in her 16th novel. Charlotte and Sean O’Keefe are the parents of 6-yearold Willow, who has brittle-bone disease, suffering 68 broken bones in her

the animal world, to run long distances without overheating. It’s a skill that came in handy when the earliest humans chased down prey that might have had the upper hand — or leg — at shorter distances, but were outmatched the longer the hunt went on.

McDougall, a former Associated Press reporter who covered the war in Rwanda, travels to Mexico where he meets some of the best Tarahumara runners.

Along the way, we encounter America’s top ultramarathoners, those runners who turn their noses up at the paltry 26.2 miles of a traditional marathon and regularly race distances of 50 to 100 miles or more.

McDougall has a knack for storytelling, and the stories of these amazing runners and their races make some of the most entertaining reading of the book.

McDougall uses these tales to pose tough questions about the short lifetime (including seven before she was born). Charlotte gave up her job as a successful pastry chef to care for Willow full time, doing whatever she can to prevent the inevitable breaks and trying to lessen Willow’s discomfort when they occur. After a lawyer broaches the possibility of a wrongful-birth lawsuit, the family unravels — Charlotte becomes increasingly aggressive in her new attack mode; Sean disagrees with the lawsuit and files for divorce; and Amelia, Willow’s teenage half-sister, seeks attention by becoming bulimic and cutting herself.

state of U.S. running. Why is it, he asks, that in the early 1980s a single track club in Boston boasted half a dozen worldclass marathoners alone, and yet less than 20 years later, not a single American man could meet the Olympic marathon qualifying time?

The solution to this puzzle is complicated, but McDougall places a big chunk of the blame on the influence of money, especially the billion-dollar running shoe industry.

Lost in the financial greening of the sport: the feeling experienced by anyone who ever dashed around the backyard as a child.

“That was the real secret of the Tarahumara: they’d never forgotten what it felt like to love running,” McDougall writes.

“They remembered that running was mankind’s first fine art, our original act of inspired creation.”

Librarian’s Pick: “One Lost Boy: His Escape from Polygamy” by David Beagley David’s family lived upright Christian lives as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Then, one day, his father decided to follow another path. Forcing his wife to agree and his family to follow, he joined a polygamist group and left his wife and children to support themselves while he pursued other wives.

“One Lost Boy” is the true story of a boy who, at a young age, was forced into the polygamist culture.
