People SIUE set to begin Arts & Issues series Lucky Plush Productions to present "The Queue" Sept. 23

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

S

IUE Arts & Issues is about to embark on its next season which is filled with thought-provoking presentations and quality entertainment. Tickets sales for the season begin this week.

This year ’s Arts & Issues season kicks off during SIUE’s Xfest, a week-long festival that highlights experimental theatre productions.

One of Xfest’s planned performances, Lucky Plush Productions’ The Queue, begins Arts and Issues 2015-16 season at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 in the Dunham Hall Theater.

Sponsored by Commerce Bank, Lucky Plush Productions brings equal parts dance and theater to “The Queue.”

The story of “The Queue” unfolds in a fictional airport where travelers stumble humorously, tragically and awkwardly into each others’ private lives.

Created by Lucky Plush Founder/Director Julia Rhoads and Collaborator Leslie Danzig, “The Queue” finds its influences in early 20th-century forms of slapstick, vaudeville, Busby Berkeley-style choreography, creaky one-act plays and a 1746 farcical play about a family inheritance.

Lucky Plush is often recognized for its complex choreography, surprising humor and incisive commentary on contemporary culture.

This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

In October, the orchestras of both SIU campuses combine together once again for an extraordinary musical event at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 in the Dunham Hall Theater.

SIUE Professor of music and SIUE Director of Orchestral Studies Michael Mishra joins Edward Benyas, Music Director of the SIUC Symphony Orchestra, as the two conduct the combined university’s orchestra in concert.

Sponsored by Scott Credit Union, this unique musical presentation will feature Grammy Award-winning cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio as the guest artist.

At the concert, Sant’Ambrogio will play Dvorak’s much-loved “Cello Concerto.”

Sant’Ambrogio leapt to international attention when she was a winner at the Eighth International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Russia.

Be sure to purchase your tickets early for this special event.

Lucky Plush Productions will bring "The Queue" to SIUE on Sept. 23. presented this concert, it sold out.

Veteran White House Correspondent Peter Maer will share memories of “My Journey from Granite City to the White House” at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 12. in the Meridian Ballroom of SIUE’s Morris University Center.

Maer, an SIUE graduate, retired from CBS News in January after nearly 40 years on the presidential beat.

When he returns to SIUE for his Arts & Issues presentation, he will describe how his hometown roots guided his reporting, and he will recall some of the personalities -known and unknown - who he encountered during a journalism career that took him from small town Illinois radio to the pinnacle of network coverage.

Maer will also offer his own opinions on the ongoing media and information revolution that will have a profound impact on the 2016 presidential campaign.

Maer is a five-time recipient of the Merriman Smith Memorial Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure.

He has also been recognized with the Edward R. Murrow Award and other honors. He twice served as commencement speaker at SIUE and treasures his Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from his alma mater.

In December, solo pianist George Winston will return to the Arts and Issues stage.

Winston will present “The Winter Show” at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 13 in the Meridian Ballroom.

Sponsored by TheBANK of Edwardsville, Winston’s

On the Edge of the Weekend

performance will include melodic fall and winter type songs, some of Vince Guaraldi’s “Peanuts” pieces, compositions inspired by the New Orleans piano and the stride piano traditions, and songs from his latest album, “Spring Carousel - A Cancer Research Benefit,” which was released in 2015.

Winston grew up mainly in Montana, and also spent his later formative years in Mississippi and Florida. His favorite music was instrumental rock and instrumental R&B, including Floyd Cramer, the Ventures, Booker T. and the MGs, Jimmy Smith, and many more. Inspired by R&B, jazz, blues and rock (especially the Doors,) Winston began playing organ in 1967. Four years later he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recordings from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas “Fats” Waller and Teddy Wilson.

In addition to working on stride piano, he also came up with his own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano, called “folk piano.” His main influences currently are the New Orleans R&B pianists Professor Longhair, James Booker and Henry Butler.

The SIIUE Arts & Issues season takes a break over the holidays and continues in 2016 on March 31 at 7:30 p.m. when The Center of Spirituality & Sustainability presents R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe written and performed by D. W. Jacobs from the life, work and writings of R. Buckminster Fuller.

Fifty years ago, Bucky warned, “Spaceship Earth’s in danger. Find out what needs to

September 17, 2015

be done!

“This critically acclaimed solo show is about the man best known as the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th Century, grandfather of the sustainability movement and PR man to the universe,” the Arts & Issues brochure states.

“He was an architect, engineer, geometer, U.S. Naval officer, inventor, poet, utopian thinker and lecturer. This legendary designer, futurist and social commentator continues to grow in stature, as generation after generation discovers the power of his ideas to help each of us define and solve the biggest problems we face as citizen/crew members of Spaceship Earth. Bucky’s whole career was an action oriented homage to the powers of the human heart, mind and imagination.”

You may never think the same again after seeing this show.

An interesting side note, Fuller designed the Center for Spirituality and Sustainability at SIUE in partnership with architect Shoji Sadao. A former member of the SIU faculty, he created the dome as a transparent replica of planet Earth.

The 2015-16 Arts and Issues season comes to a close on April 15 when The SIUE Department of Physics’ Shaw Lecture Series and Arts & Issues presents “Capt. Jim Lovell Apollo 13: A Successful Failure” at 7:30 p.m. in the Meridian Ballroom.

A great A mer ican h ero, a stronaut J im Lovell is m ost f amous f or his role in th e A mer ican space age, specif ically f or his calm and caref ul comman d of A pollo 1 3.

Lovell stoically articulated the five-word message, “Houston, we have a problem,” which quickly became a part of the American lexicon.

The infamous problem was the explosion of the oxygen system inside the Apollo 13 spacecraft-a malfunction that seemingly doomed the NASA team.

Through teamwork and decisive leadership Lovell and his crew modified the lunar module into an effective lifeboat to safely return to Earth. As captain, he was instantly transformed into a national hero, and received the nation’s most distinguished honors including the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Harkening back to the incredible early days of space exploration and the Apollo program, Lovell applies the “time when we did bold things in space to achieve leadership” to the goals and ambitions of any organization, proving that even during challenging times, innovation and new heights of leadership can be attained.

Lowell’s presentation is sponsored by the Madison County Regional Office of Education and the SIUE Graduate School.

Arts & Issues tickets can be ordered on-line at artsandissues.com or in-person at the Morris University Center (MUC) Welcome Desk. The MUC Welcome Desk is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Welcome Desk is closed on Sunday. To place your order by phone call 1-866698-4253.

Another popular animal show is the Reptile Show shared with the Festival by Dr. Richard Crowell.

All materials will be given immediately to the parents of each child for their safekeeping.

The Crime Stoppers volunteers will

also share information with families and will have give-aways for the children.

A traditional part of this Festival is the Craft area where this year will again be over 70 vendors with a wide variety of products to be purchased.

The Festival gives local non-profit groups an opportunity to fund raise or just promote their services. Some of the groups that will participate in some way are the Illinois Valley “Barn in the Garden” Gift Shop, several church groups, H.E.I.D.I., Macoupin County Military Support Group, Build Benld, and Adopt-aPet of Benld.

The Health Fair section of the festival will be presented this year

by Carlinville Area Hospital. Stop by for an overview of their services and to see what services they have brought for you on this day.

Peanuts The Great Pumpkin Patch Express Train Ride arrives at St. Louis Union Station this fall. Meet Snoopy and Lucy in the St. Louis Union Station pumpkin patch and join the Peanuts crew as they travel around St. Louis on a real train ride.

Ti c k e t s f o r t h e r e a l t r a i n rides are on sale at www.

STLPumpkinExpress.com or by dialing 314-690-1105.

World War I art exhibit open

War looks different, before you’re in it.

In 1914, as Europe lumbered optimistically to battle, a proxy fight was joined in the pages of popular media. Combatant nations, seeking cultural as well as military dominance, deployed visual propaganda to rally support and

attack enemies. Yet as the death toll mounted, a generation of artists, many of whom served in uniform, sought new artistic languages to convey the grief and horror they had witnessed.

This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “World War I: War of Images, Images of War.” Drawn primarily from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, where it debuted in fall 2014, the exhibition features more than 150 objects that together chart a chronological path from exuberant outbreak through years of grinding combat and into the long, unsettled aftermath.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 4.

Included are paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, illustrated journals, correspondence from the front and other materials by artists such as Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto

Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger and Kazimir Malevich.

War of Images The exhibition opens with “War of Images,” which explores how different nations sought to elevate their own cultural symbols while denigrating the supposed national traits — German barbarism, British imperialism, French decadence, Russian cowardice — of opponents.

French artist Jean Cocteau, whose health prevented enlistment but who later drove a Red Cross ambulance, co-founded the journal Le Mot (“The Word”) with designer Paul Iribe. The cover of their second issue depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German hero Lohengrin, but wittily replaces the knight’s legendary swan boat with a red, grasping crayfish.

Conversely, the German magazine Simplicissimus, a longtime government critic, now voiced

patriotic support. A striking cover from October 1914 — by Thomas Theodor Heine, who’d once been jailed for caricaturing the Kaiser — shows a colonial Englishman, pith helmet ajar, clutching precariously at a blood-soaked globe.

Other works play on visual codes such as the Russian bear and the French Marianne. A series of rarely seen images by avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, modeled on popular Russian prints known as lubki, depict idealized peasants in traditional costume fearlessly routing enemy troops.

Images of War But for witnesses on the ground, arguments about cultural superiority quickly paled. “Images of War,” the exhibition’s second section, collects artworks, letters, diaries and other first-person accounts that demonstrate the yawning gap between rhetoric and the reality of battle.

The Arts Artistic adventures The Black Rep announces season

In 1976, as a student at Washington University in St. Louis, Ron Himes began staging upstart theatrical productions across the Danforth Campus. Thirty-nine years later, The St. Louis Black Rep has grown to become one of the nation’s largest and most respected professional African-American companies. On Sept. 2, Himes and The Black Rep will launch their 2015-16 season with “Tell Me Somethin’ Good” in Washington University’s Edison Theatre. The decades-spanning musical revue, which runs through Sept. 20, is the first of three shows The Black Rep will present in Edison this year.

“Washington University is where it all began,” said Himes, The Black Rep’s producing director as well as the Henry Hampton Artist-inResidence in the Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences.

“We’ve been staging shows in Edison for several years now, but this is the first time we’ve had the resources to present three in a single season,” Himes said. “The Edison Series, as we’re calling it, represents a great new opportunity for us, and a whole new level of commitment on the part of the university. We’re very grateful for that support.”

Following “Tell Me Somethin’ Good,” The Edison Series will

continue Jan. 13-31 with Dominique Morisseau’s family drama “Sunset Baby.” The series will conclude with “The Family Reunion: In My Father ’s House,” a companydeveloped work-in-progress, April 20-May 1. “The Black Rep is a St. Louis — and indeed a national — institution,” said Mark Rollins, chair of the Performing Arts Department.

“Theater is creative laboratory that helps shape the ways we see ourselves and the communities in which we live. We are extremely proud of the work Ron has done as a student, as an alumnus and as a teacher, and we’re thrilled to welcome The Black Rep back to campus for the coming season.”

“This season has something for everybody,” Himes said. “Music and drama; the personal and the political; new works and old favorites — they’re all part of the theater, and they’re all part of human experience.”

The Black Rep 2015-16 ‘Edison Series’ Sept. 2-20 “Tell Me Somethin’ Good” Conceived by Ron Himes, this critically acclaimed revue — one of the most popular shows ever produced by The Black Rep — is a stroll down musical memory lanes, from the street-corner doo-wop of the 1950s through ’60s soul, ’70s funk and the birth of hip-hop.

Written by Dominique Morisseau, “Sunset Baby” tells the story of Kenyatta Shakur, a onetime Black Revolutionary and political prisoner.

After the death of his wife, Kenyatta desperately tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Nina, but finds that reconciling with his past means conquering the most challenging revolution of all: fatherhood.

April 20-May 1, 2016 “The Family Reunion: In My Father’s House” This company-developed workin-progress celebrates the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the African-American family through poetry, music, dance and dramatic literature.

Religion People planner Federal hearing set in clerk's marriage case

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — A federal judge says a Kentucky county clerk who won't issue marriage licenses to gay couples because of her religious beliefs has until close of business Wednesday to respond to the latest motion in the case.

On Tuesday, as Rowan County clerk Kim Davis continued to deny licenses to couples despite a Supreme Court ruling against her, U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered her and her six deputy clerks to appear at a federal court hearing Thursday.

The couples named in the lawsuit have asked Bunning to hold Davis in contempt of court and fine her for refusing to grant licenses, but not to send her to jail.

In a statement Tuesday, Davis said it's not "a gay or lesbian issue," but rather a "matter of religious liberty, which is protected under the First Amendment."

She and her clerks have been ordered to appear in court on Thursday morning.

Pope: Priests in Holy Year can absolve "sin of abortion"

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis is allowing priests as well as bishops in the church's upcoming Year of Mercy to absolve women of the "sin of abortion" if they repent with a "contrite heart," saying he is acutely aware that some feel they had no choice but to abort.

Francis said in letter published Tuesday that he has met many women bearing "the scar of this agonizing" decision to abort. He said God's forgiveness cannot be denied to those who repent, and therefore he is giving all priests the power to absolve the sin in the Year of Mercy, which starts on Dec. 8, the church's feast of the Immaculate Conception.

The church views abortion as such a grave sin that, until now, a Catholic woman who wanted to repent for an abortion could not simply go to her parish priest. Instead, her local bishop needed to delegate a priest expert at dealing with such confessions to hear the woman's confession, or reserve for himself the decision on whether to grant absolution.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is distancing himself from a full-page newspaper ad about a Christian rally he plans to speak at in Charlotte.

The Charlotte Observer reports that McCrory is set to speak at a rally called The Response on Sept. 26. The ad over McCrory's name and picture invites people to join him for worship, prayer, fasting and repentance. It also calls on Jesus to hear those at the rally and heal America.

McCrory's spokesman, Graham Wilson, says the governor will speak on underage drinking, substance abuse and other issues. But Wilson says the governor did not give organizers permission to invite people on his behalf.

Senior Rabbi Judy Schindler of Temple Beth El in Charlotte said the ad goes too far and raises questions about separation of church and state.

McCrory has attended previous prayer events both as governor and as mayor of Charlotte.

"No Escape"

Not since Saigon in the 1970s has an American operation in Southeast Asia been as ill-conceived as "No Escape," a taut, well-made and entirely dubious thriller.

Where does "No Escape" take place? It's about a Texas family that arrives in an unnamed Asian country only to immediately be swept up in a horribly violent coup that sends them scampering for survival through foreign, unfamiliar streets strewn with bodies and blood.

The film, co-written and directed by John Erick Dowdle ("As Above, So Below"), was shot in Thailand two years ago, after which a real-life coup by the Thai army overthrew the government. Perhaps to avoid too direct a connection to that coup, "No Escape" (initially titled "The Coup") makes no specific mention of any government. Who needs politics in a political thriller?

Beside the murderous chants of a mob or the bland courtesies of a hotel clerk, the natives have no dialogue.

Instead, they are merely the vague backdrop to the harrowing plight of a white American family: Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson), his wife Annie (Lake Bell) and their two daughters (Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare). He, an engineer, has taken a job with a dominant corporation whose ownership of the city's public works has helped inspire the unrest.

Having just deplaned and plopped their bags down in a hotel hours before street warfare erupts, a haze of confusion envelopes the Dwyers, just as it does us. Can a thriller about a coup contain next to zero context about the politics and people involved? Is it enough to drop "Taken," kids in tow, into a faceless Asian nightmare?

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong violence throughout and for language."

RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"We Are Your Friends"

Part electronic dance music tutorial and part love letter to Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, "We Are Your Friends" is a surprisingly accessible and sweet story of a group of friends standing on the cusp of adulthood with big ambition and little direction.

Regardless of your taste for pulsing electronic music or actor Zac Efron, both are undeniably appealing in this feature debut from director and co-writer Max Joseph. Though the plot may be predictable, Joseph energizes his coming-of-age musical romance with creative animation, explosive dance scenes and a vibrant soundtrack that's like an entree to the EDM genre. And Efron brings such heart to the main character, he's easy to root for.

For Cole (Efron) and his buddies, the glittery promise of Hollywood is so close, they can practically see it from their hometown 10 miles away in the Valley's suburban sprawl.

Cole is an aspiring DJ, and his three childhood friends are his associates and entourage. There's his best friend and wouldbe manager, Mason (Jonny Weston), drug dealer and acting hopeful Ollie (Shiloh Fernandez), and the requisite quiet, sensitive guy, Squirrel (Alex Shaffer). All of them dream of escaping the Valley and finding success "over the hill."

When Cole isn't out jogging or partying with his pals, he's in front of his computer, mixing sounds and beats into what he hopes will become the signature song that launches his career.

"If you're a DJ," he says in voiceover, "all you need is a laptop, some talent and one track."

Cole's luck starts to change when he meets older, established DJ James Reed (Wes Bentley), who immediately and inexplicably takes Cole under his wing and becomes his mentor. Cole covets Reed's life, from his worldwide fame and hilltop home to his gorgeous girlfriend/assistant,

On the Edge of the Weekend

Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski). Reed, though, doesn't seem so thrilled. Bentley is perfectly disaffected as the seen-it-all club veteran who parties away his days and nights, a personified cautionary tale.

Meanwhile, Cole and his friends look for more reliable income by taking day jobs at a mortgage company run by a man with obvious wealth but dubious ethics. Here they get a glimpse into the unrewarding alternative to achieving their dreams. Thus, the career challenges for today's 20-somethings look much like those of anyone coming of age in middle-class America since the 1960s.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language throughout, drug use, sexual content and some nudity."

"A Walk in the Woods"

The lure of the wild has recently attracted an interesting batch of solitude seekers: Reese Witherspoon ("Wild"), Mia Wasikowska ("Tracks") and Robert Redford, twice.

Two years after "All Is Lost," Redford has swapped the sea for the woods, and wordless isolation for Nick Nolte. It's not a bad trade.

"A Walk in the Woods" is a broad and congenial comedy about two aged old friends trying to hike all 2,000-plus miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. It's light on its feet, even though its geriatric woodsmen are plodding and grunting.

The story, taken from Bill Bryson's 1998 book, might seem like the kind of hokey comedy trotted out every now and then for older moviegoers. It is that, to be sure. But Redford and Nolte are a class, or two, above the standard stars of such fare.

While "A Walk in the Woods" is tame stuff, indeed, a simple, comic stroll with pleasant company is a decent way to end a movie summer where the usual pace is a Tom Cruise sprint.

Redford has been trying to adapt Bryson's book for 10 years, and he's now older than the author was when he made his trip, along with his pal Stephen Katz (Nolte). It makes their endeavor, particularly on the part of the wheezing Nolte, a little incredulous.

Nolte's Katz, a former alcoholic and proud philanderer, was never an ideal hiking companion; he's the only one Bryson could get to go with him. But Nolte, 74 and so croaky he can be hard to understand, is now more convincing as a grizzly bear than a camper. This, thankfully, is not a movie where the actors are weighing down their backpacks for the sake of realism.

The germ for the trip begins when Bryson returns to his New Hampshire home after a humbling book tour where he's met with questions of retirement — likely the same kind Redford has become accustom to fielding but happily (for our sake) ignoring. Authors, Bryson responds, don't retire. They either drink themselves away or blow their brains out.

"Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine"

Was Steve Jobs a brilliant visionary whose singular mind, capable of blending art, technology and commerce as never before, inspired the world to "think different" and changed the way we live?

Or was he a ruthless businessman who treated co-workers callously, took credit for the work of others, and often acted out of jealousy and spite?

September 17, 2015

Documentarian Alex Gibney is known for pulling no punches when it comes to his subjects, most famously Scientology in his recent "Going Clear." And so it should come as little surprise that in "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine," he comes down heavily on that second, darker image of the Apple CEO. Even if you haven't read much of the copious material out there on Jobs, who died in 2011, you'll know some of this, especially his early attempt to dispute paternity of his first child, Lisa, even as he was raking in millions. But though Gibney doesn't seem to come up with anything truly groundbreaking, there's surely more negative stuff here — and lots more detail — than you've encountered before.

With this, Gibney, a skilled filmmaker, has little trouble holding our attention for more than two hours. But he raises another tantalizing question, and then doesn't really do enough to answer it: What does our collective adulation of Jobs and his creations say about US? Perhaps it was all too much for one movie.

The film begins, wisely, with the stunning reaction to Jobs' death of pancreatic cancer, similar to the grief that erupted with the passing of John Lennon — only expressed in 2011 technology. We see the makeshift shrines outside Apple stores, and the ubiquitous hashtag #iSad. A young boy explains, incredulously: "He made EVERYTHING!" On the news, Diane Sawyer speaks of "a global wake."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some language."

"Sleeping With Other People"

Poor romantic comedies. Even our criticisms of them have grown stale.

"They're not as good as they used to be," we moan, yearning for some purer time when we didn't know the time-tested beats, the inevitable outcomes, and the dynamics seemed more attuned to How We Date Now. Even the character types have started to become one big blur of clichés.

How refreshing, then, that "Sleeping With Other People" gives the form a solid adrenaline boost by managing to both operate within the comforting constraints of "When Harry Met Sally's..." can men and women be friends premise, and still be its own unique, modern creation. Writer-director Leslye Headland, as a follow up to the bawdy girls' night out film "Bachelorette," accomplishes this by getting the sex out of the way first, and then making it off limits.

Headland knows that the litmus test is not the theoretical happy ending, but the characters — and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) and Lainey (Alison Brie) prove to be some fascinating specimens. We meet them in college, where they lose their virginity to each other in a harried one night stand on a New York rooftop and then again a decade or so later in a meeting for sex addicts.

Neither are actually sex addicts, at least in the clinical sense. But Lainey can't seem to stop cheating on her boyfriends with one old flame (Adam Scott), and Jake cheats as a way out of relationships he's too scared to end with a normal breakup.

So Lainey and Jake decide, despite their mutual attraction and history, to be just friends. It is, quite simply, the story of two people who are prone to self-sabotage, falling in love and trying their hardest not to act on it. They are arrested development personified.

By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Was Steve Jobs a brilliant visionary whose singular mind, capable of blending art, technology and commerce as never before, inspired the world to "think different" and changed the way we live?

Or was he a ruthless businessman who treated co-workers callously, took credit for the work of others, and often acted out of jealousy and spite?

Documentarian Alex Gibney is known for pulling no punches when it comes to his subjects, most famously Scientology in his recent "Going Clear." And so it should come as little surprise that in "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine," he comes down heavily on that second, darker image of the Apple CEO. Even if you haven't read much of the copious material out there on Jobs, who died in 2011, you'll know some of this, especially his early attempt to dispute paternity of his first child, Lisa, even as he was raking in millions. But though Gibney doesn't seem to come up with

anything truly groundbreaking, there's surely more negative stuff here — and lots more detail — than you've encountered before.

With this, Gibney, a skilled filmmaker, has little trouble holding our attention for more than two hours. But he raises another tantalizing question, and then doesn't really do enough to answer it: What does our collective adulation of Jobs and his creations say about US? Perhaps it was all too much for one movie.

The film begins, wisely, with the stunning reaction to Jobs' death of pancreatic cancer, similar to the grief that erupted with the passing of John Lennon — only expressed in 2011 technology. We see the makeshift shrines outside Apple stores, and the ubiquitous hashtag #iSad. A young boy explains, incredulously: "He made EVERYTHING!" On the news, Diane Sawyer speaks of "a global wake."

How to explain this impact? Gibney gathers footage both of the brash young Jobs with long hair, proclaiming how the computer, once bulky and scary, will change people's

lives, and famously giving the finger to IBM, and the older Jobs, in his second stint with Apple, pacing the stage in his black turtleneck and delighting fans at those much-awaited product launches.

And there are much less flattering elements, in interviews with people who worked with (or loved) Jobs: for example, Bob Belleville, who came over from Xerox in the '80s. "How bad could this be?" Belleville recounts thinking beforehand. "I didn't realize how bad it could be." The memories cause him to weep.

We hear how Steve Wozniak, the eventual Apple co-founder who began his journey with Jobs in a garage, did much of the work on a video game the duo sold to Atari, but was iced out of most of the money by his friend. And there's school buddy and Apple employee Daniel Kottke, wondering succinctly: "How much of an asshole do you have to be to be successful?"

Chrisann Brennan, mother of Lisa BrennanJobs (Jobs' daughter did not cooperate with the film; nor did his widow, Laurene Powell,

or Apple itself), describes telling Jobs she was pregnant and watching him clench his jaw and slam the door.

There's also sobering detail on working conditions (and suicide rates) at the Chinese factories where Apple products are made; on a scandal involving Apple stock options; and on Jobs' zealous pursuit of the tech bloggers who wrote about an iPhone 4 prototype accidentally left in a bar. We're also told how, contrary to Bill Gates and his huge philanthropy, Jobs ended Apple's charitable gifts.

Yet there's admiration, too, for Jobs' creative mind, specifically the crucial connection he was able to make between a piece of machinery and the human experience it could provide.

As the film says of the iPod: "It wasn't a machine FOR you. It was you."

And it's Gibney himself who best describes the lure of a shiny Apple phone.

"I had to have an iPhone," he says. "My hand was drawn to it like Frodo's hand to the ring."

"The Transporter Refueled" runs on empty

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Nothing will take you down a p e g l i k e p re p a r i n g t o w r i t e about the third film in a series, o n l y t o h a v e Wi k i p e d i a a n d the IMDb remind you that, in fact, it's the fourth one. So, yeah, that's how my day is s h a p i n g u p . I ' m re f e r r i n g t o this weekend's release of "The Transpo rter Refue led ", a lo wbudget French production that poses an elegant question: "if we replace Jason Statham, will a n y o n e n o t i c e ? " I re m e m b e r thinking to myself several months back when I first heard of this that Labor Day Weekend would be a great time to release a movie like this. I bag on the final Summer weekend a lot, but it's always a justifiable gripe

when I do. "Transporter" was the widest new release last week and opened at a miserly $7.4 million. Might we be witnessing the death of a waning franchise?

In 2002, Statham launched his character Frank Martin, a tough guy who drives an Audi like a boss. He promises to deliver any package anywhere on time and he's the best in the business. But like most service providers with great track records, sometimes the rails come off. And that's what happened in "The Transporter" and "The Transporter 2" and "The Transporter 3" (apparently - don't forget I forgot about its existence).

Beautiful women with beautiful accents were involved. Thugs with guns and at least a hint of E a s t e r n E u ro p e a n s t e re o t y p e w e re t h e b ad guys . Statham took almost as many punishing

punches as he gave out. And then the series took a seven-year hiatus to re-tool.

B a c k a s " T h e Tr a n s p o r t e r Refueled", this may or may not be a prequel to the original films based on a cryptic series of interviews and badly-translated s o u n d b i t e s f ro m t h e F re n c h and Chinese producers. There's nothing in the movie itself that would lead you to the impression that it's naturally set earlier than the others. Ed Skrein takes over for Jason Statham. To his credit, the poster's profile picture gives them both the same jaw line.

I stop just short of calling it a Bait & Switch. Frank's mission in this movie is to help deliver a trio of prostitutes (Loan C h a b a n o l , G a b r i e l l a Wr i g h t , and Tatiana Pajkovic) to various destinations in and around

Nice and Monaco to help them perpetrate a dazzling array of long-con crimes against their pimps (Yuri Kolokolnikov, Lenn Kudrjawizki). Martin's role becomes complicated when it proves that the mastermind behind the criminal organization is a former colleague from his Special Ops days (Radivoje Bukvic).

When they drag i n F r a n k ' s re t i re d s p y f a t h e r (Ray Stevenson) as additional leverage, it becomes even more harrowing. Frank Sr. is the comic relief for the film, but he's more smart alec older brother than stodgy dad.

If there's any reason to see this film at all, it's for the one or two really good action sequences that aren't really all that grand on th e scale of 1- to- "In ception' s" r o t a t i n g d r e a m h a l l w a y.

I

September 17, 2015

particularly liked the one where Frank leaves his undriven car in gear while he slowly leads ahead of it down a narrow alley, banging skulls together before leaping back into the vehicle through its sunroof. That was both methodical and incredibly pretentious. And don't forget the time when Frank runs his jet ski aground and then uses his forward momentum to kick through the passenger side window of an SUV to take out the driver. You want farfetched?

"Transporter Refueled" has got your farfetched.

"The Transporter Refueled" runs 96 and is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, sexual material, some language, a drug reference, and thematic material. I give this film one star out of four.

Born in Arkansas and raised in Southern California, Iris DeMent grew up immersed in gospel and traditional country music. A late bloomer as an artist - she wrote her first song at the age of 25 her first release, Infamous Angel, immediately established her as a promising and talented artist.

Her follow-up recordings, My Life and The Way I Should, were each nominated for a Grammy.

Several of DeMent’s songs have become cultural touchstones including “Let The Mystery Be,” sung as a duet by David Byrne and Natalie Merchant on MTV Unplugged, and “Our Town,” which was played over the farewell scene in the series finale of Northern Exposure. She has recorded and performed with artists such as Ralph Stanley, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Merle Haggard, and sang four duets with John Prine on In Spite of Ourselves.

In 2004, she recorded an album of gospel songs, Lifeline, which included her rendition of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” which the Coen Brothers chose for the closing credits for their 2012 remake of the classic western True Grit.

Travel Rainbow Springs in the Missouri Ozarks

By TOM UHLENBROCK Missouri Division of Tourism Dorothy Carpenter describes Rainbow Springs as “a Garden of Eden.”

It’s fair to say the spectacular setting is one of the prettiest pieces of paradise the Missouri Ozarks has to offer.

The spring, located near Dora, Mo., and thousands of wooded acres around it, has been privately owned and preserved

by Carpenter ’s St. Louis-based family for more than a century.

Rainbow Springs is the best kept secret among Missouri’s natural wonders, but that is about to change. A historic fishing lodge overlooking the spring is now available for nightly rental.

Rainbow Springs is the third l a rg e s t i n a s t a t e t h a t b o a s t s several impressive springs. The average daily flow is more than 100 million gallons of crystalline water that empties into the North Fork of the White River. Wet weather can increase the output to more than 180 million gallons.

The water bursts from the base of a wooded bluff with a boil that rises one to two feet above the surface in a rocky grotto green with ferns, mosses and watercress.

Rainbow Springs originally was called “Double Spring” because the water splits into two branches as it leaves the pool, entering the river at two spots about a mile apart.

The rushing water doubles the flow of the North Fork, a pristine floating and trout fishing stream in south-central Missouri, some 25 miles from the Arkansas border.

A strip of bottomland forest p e rh a p s 1 0 0 y a rd s w i d e s i t s between the spring and the river.

The spring branches flow around the land on their way to the river, forming an island.

T h e o n l y s t r u c t u re o n t h a t island is Rainbow Springs Lodge, which was built in the mid-1960s.

The lodge has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and a distinct design with wide eaves on the roof and a stone-and-wood fireplace that soars through an atrium in the interior.

“It’s a really well thought out architectural gem,” Carpenter said. “The architect was Barry Evans. He was definitely of the Bill Bernoudy-Frank Lloyd Wright ilk.”

C a r p e n t e r, w h o i s 6 5 a n d without children, owns the lodge with her sister and a cousin. This May, they put it up for nightly rental through River of Life Farm, a resort a mile of so downriver.

Myron and Ann McKee, owners of the popular resort, are known for their “treehouse” cabins, some by the water ’s edge and others hidden higher up the hillside in the secluded river valley.

“The only problem with private ownership is you don’t have public access – Myron’s involvement solves that,” Carpenter said. “We want to make the lodge self-sustaining, and let people experience Rainbow Springs the way my family has.”

Proposed for Development Carpenter ’s recounting of the family history at Rainbow Springs began with what she called “the monster on the wall.”

Missouri DIvision of Tourism

Above, an interior view of the lodge at Rainbow Springs. Below is the exterior.

She referred to a framed surveyor ’s drawing for a proposal titled “Rainbow Springs Resort and Fisheries Inc.,” dated Aug. 10, 1927. It showed the forest around the spring subdivided into hundreds of small plots, with a hotel and garage in the middle. A road led to the “golf links.”

The company stocked the spring with rainbow trout and changed its name from Double Spring to Rainbow Springs.

Carpenter explained that in the early 1920s, people were seeking a summer escape from the soot and heat of St. Louis.

Riverside clubhouse communities sprang up, like Times Beach and Castlewood in St. Louis County.

Rainbow Springs was on the drawing board.

In 1928, her grandfather, Birch Oliver Mahaffey of St. Louis, discovered the project and bought a fifth of the company and some 6,000 acres surrounding the spring.

“I believe from reading his letters that he wanted to gain as much control of the spring as he could,” Carpenter said.

“The Depression gave him the opportunity to buy out the rest of the company and halt all development plans on the property. From then on, he strove to preserve its natural state.”

A Comfortable Place Mahaffey had four daughters and three of them hired Evans, the architect, to design a lodge for their families.

“They wanted to be able to see the spring from the lodge at all times of the day,” Carpenter said.

“So they built it directly across from the spring, with glass corner windows for seeing every angle of

the spring branches.”

The house was done in the mid-century modern style, with ingenious touches. The fireplace hearth is of poured and polished c o n c re t e w i d e e n o u g h t o s i t around. The chimney is fronted by slanting wood strips wide enough for storing fly-fishing rods.

Mahaffey long had the idea of cooling the lodge with the 55-degree spring water, and Evans attempted to do it, with little success. Myron McKee of River of Life has preserved the lodge’s historic furniture and artifacts,

although he did update the heating and cooling system.

A stone patio is off the first floor, and a deck is on the second floor, both within sight of the spring, which is reached by a sturdy wood foot bridge. Open the bedroom windows at night and the sound of the water tumbling along fills the rooms.

“It’s a very rugged house – people came in with their waders – the oak furniture is as tough as nails,” Carpenter said. “All of us had different ideas, and the architect interviewed us and dealt

with completely diverse uses for the place. I was 18 at the time and wanted space to throw 30 sleeping bags for my friends.”

Trout, Eagles and Hellbenders The bottom floor of the lodge has a kitchen, utility rooms, half bath and a large open living and dining room with two sets of sofas. The second floor has four spacious bedrooms, each with two single beds and a full bath.

The second floor has a balcony looking down on the fireplace and first floor. The balcony was made wide enough to hold extra beds, or sleeping bags. Cots are provided, bringing the maximum occupancy to 14.

The nightly rental price, with a two-night minimum, is $850 for up to eight people. Each additional adult is $87.50 a night; children younger than 12 are $43.75. For more information, visit RiverOfLifeFarm.com.

Fed by springs and protected by national forest for the top twothirds of its 50 miles, the North Fork has one of the largest selfsustaining wild rainbow trout populations in the Midwest. \Resident bald eagles live in the valley, and the river was chosen b y w i l d l i f e re s e a rc h e r s f o r a restocking program of endangered Ozark hellbenders, a large, aquatic salamander.

The family maintains control of Rainbow Springs and some 1,400 acres of land around it.

“Preserving the forests of the watershed ensures protection of the spring’s purity and the North Fork’s incredible scenic beauty,” Carpenter said.

Arrowheads and other archaeological evidence indicated the spring was visited by the first Americans. In later days, Jesuits used the lodge for spiritual retreats.

“I can’t let the spring be desecrated – it’s a special place,” she said. “The Indians felt it was sacred. I feel that way, too.”
