Campus Caddies look to serve SIUE Class project teaches business in the most real sense

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

A

nyone who has walked from the red parking lots on the eastern side of the SIUE campus to any of the main buildings will attest that it can be a sweaty hike in the Illinois heat and a frigid walk during the winter months.

But a group of students in a unique SIUE communications class has come up with a solution to this problem as part of a classroom project. The students launched a Kickstarter campaign on Oct. 10 to help fund the start-up of Campus Caddies, a golf cart transportation service.

Wyatt Teague and Wyatt Neisler, senior SIUE students and representatives of Campus Caddies, explained that the Campus Caddies idea came about as part of a class project for their SIUE Organizational Communications Theory class. “Going in we figured it would be textbook heavy, lots of theories and lectures,” Teague explained about the class. “And from day one our professor said, “Nope that is not the case.

This is all going to be application based.”

Dr. Zachary Schaefer, the students’ professor, gave the class the task to brainstorm and come up with a product they wanted to sell, decide the basic organization of the “company” and its logistics as well as how they could utilize Kickstarter, a popular crowd-funding website, to raise the start-up money needed.

“We split up into two groups. Our group has 10 people. The other one has 12. From there it was pretty much free reign. He gave us a ton of time in class to do it. We threw around a bunch of ideas and finally decided on Campus Caddies,” Neisler said.

As with all new business ventures, the Campus Caddies idea has been evolving over the past few weeks, but the latest generation of the idea involves students purchasing a package of rides in the Campus Caddies golf cart from the red parking lots to “hot spots” around campus.

“Say they buy 10 rides, they can use those rides whenever they want. They can save it for rainy days or when it’s too hot or too cold,” Teague explained.

Campus Caddies can only afford a single golf cart for the initial start-up, but they hope to expand the service as its popularity catches on. “So right now what we’re doing is trying to find hot spots that students frequent both in the parking lot and in the academic buildings themselves and then creating a route to service them,” Teague added. “Currently we’re going to have a few stops interspersed between these parking lots that students can walk to and await the golf cart coming around from its last pass. It will pick them up and take them to these hot spots on campus that we’re calling Caddy Corners right now.”

Initially Campus Caddies would be manned by the 10 communication students on a volunteer basis. “Depending on the amount of revenue we generate, we could start actually paying students, and that’s something that I’m speaking with the

administration about is turning this into an actual student organization. That way it survives after our graduation,” Teague noted.

The students have also been advertising to the administration the idea that Campus Caddies could be utilized as a service for night class students. “SIUE is a pretty safe campus overall, but this just adds an extra security to be escorted to your car rather than having to walk through that wooded area between parking lots and the buildings. They’ve been receptive to that,” Teague said.

In order to fund the start up of Campus Caddies, the students launched a Kickstarter campaign on Oct. 10.

Kickstarter is a web-based platform used to generate funding support for creative and start-up ideas. “Our goal is $5,000,” Neisler said. “We have about a month to raise that money. Seventy-five percent is going to be used on a golf cart. The other 25 percent of that will go towards maintenance of the golf cart, miscellaneous fees and part of the rewards we’re going to give to early backers.”

The students’ ultimate goal is to create a service that they leave as a legacy for future students. “This is by students for students with the goal in mind that we’re going to create this organization to keep it alive,” Teague pointed out. “This is something of a commuter outreach program as well.

We’re hoping to pass this on to commuter students just as a way to make them feel more welcome – you have someone to talk to as they take you to your destination.”

“We view this as a way to get commuter

October 27, 2016

students more involved,” Neisler added.

“Because sometimes there’s not a sense of belonging when you drive in to school, and you’re not really a part of a group. Campus Caddies is something where they can meet new people and they can volunteer to drive.”

Whether the students are able to acquire 100 percent funding through their Kickstarter campaign or not, Teague emphasized that the project itself has been an invaluable learning experience. “From a leader standpoint, this is hands down the most rewarding class I’ve ever taken because it’s just providing leadership experience, it’s helping to educate us in conflict management, troubleshooting, contingency plans, formal meetings, phone interviews,” he said. “We’re getting experience with videography, with Kickstarter, social media, creating questionnaires and surveys and using them as ammunition to show the administration that hey, 6,000 students want this. It’s having dividends in all sorts of way.”

“I honestly feel like this type of venture would not be possible at any other university,” Teague added. “The reception and the feedback that we’ve been getting from the administration has been as insightful as it is appreciative. They are really supporting us in this because they want us to succeed. So, I’m really grateful in that.”

People People planner Returning to St. Louis’ iconic Forest Park for the fourth year, Fair Saint Louis has announced its 2017 dates. The 37th annual Independence Day celebration will be held July 2, 3 & 4, 2017, as fans pack the grounds that once hosted the 1904 World’s Fair.

Fair Saint Louis has also announced volunteer leaders James Boldt, 2016 vice chairman, as general chairman for the 2017 event, and David Estes, 2016 venue management chairman, as vice chairman.

“With nearly 235,000 attendees and a dozen entertainers at Fair Saint Louis 2016, we’re looking forward to an even bigger and better 2017,” said Boldt. “Forest Park is truly an incredible venue to host America’s Biggest Birthday Party, and we’re once again looking forward to showcasing America’s No. 1 city park to St. Louisans and visitors alike during next year’s celebration.”

Fairgoers are encouraged to check www.fairsaintlouis.org, and the Fair ’s Facebook (www.facebook. com/fairsaintlouis), Twitter and Instagram (@fairsaintlouis) pages for more updates and announcements leading up to the event.

The Fair St. Louis Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, operates the Fair each year and has donated numerous gifts to the St. Louis Community in conjunction with these events. Over the years, the foundation has contributed to the lighting of the Eads Bridge, the Mississippi River Overlook and the mile-long Riverfront Promenade, and was a partner in providing the Grand Staircases beneath the Arch as part of the National Park System and to the irrigation system as part of Forest Park Forever.

Museum celebrates Route 66 in St. Louis

On Nov. 11, 2016, Route 66 celebrates its 90th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the Missouri History Museum developed Route 66: Main Street Through St. Louis,

a 6,000-square-foot exhibition that explores the local history of the world-famous highway. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis is open from June 25 through July 16, 2017.

Route 66 touched eight states and connected more than 100 cities from Chicago to Los Angeles. St. Louis was the largest city in between. As the road meandered through the city, it passed by a number of stops that were unique to St. Louis – from popular restaurants to scandalous motes. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis tells St. Louis' distinctive story on the Mother Road.

Visitors will get their kicks learning about the motels, custard stands and tourist traps that could be found along the road as it passed through St. Louis. Route 66 through St. Louis wound its way from the bridges through downtown streets and depending on the year, provided travelers with several options for navigating through the

city to the county and west.

Locals will recognize some of the iconic places they still visit today such as Ted Drewes, Crown Candy Kitchen, Carl's Drive In and The Chase Hotel. They will also rediscover places that are gone with the passage of time such as the Coral Court Motel, the Parkmoor, the Chain of Rocks Amusement Park and the 66 Park-In Theatre. Artifacts include neon signs like the original sign from the La Casa Grande Motel on Watson, and classic cars including a 1963 Corvette Stingray convertible and a 1957 Airstream Travel Trailer.

Route 66 opened on Nov. 11, 1926, as the major highway connecting Chicago and Los Angeles. Route 66 bore the hardships of the Great Depression, taking migrants west to find a new life. It carried military transports through World War II. At its height in the 1950s and '60s, tourists traveled its length to see the sights of the Southwest and California.

Airshow to mark SAFB's 100th anniversary

Scott Air Force Base will celebrate its centennial anniversary in June of 2017. To commemorate this historic milestone, the base will host an open house and airshow featuring the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds, set for June 10-11, 2017.

The land today known as Scott AFB was initially leased in June of 1917, and by September of that year, it was officially established as Scott Field. Scott AFB is the fourth oldest continuously active base in the U.S. Air Force, and the only Air Force base named in honor of an enlisted member, Corporal Frank S. Scott.

Scott Field originally served as

a pilot training field during World War I and hosted a modified Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” aircraft used as an air ambulance. By 1921, the mission at the field changed and Scott became a lighter-than-air station hosting balloons and dirigibles.

By 1937, the lighter-than-air era ended for the entire Army Air Corps and the War Department intended to move the General Headquarters Air Force from Langley Field, Virginia to Scott Field. America’s entry into World War II would change that plan.

The Army Chief of Staff changed Scott’s primary mission in 1939 making it a communications training location. Even after the birth of the U.S. Air Force in 1947, Scott AFB would continue as a communications training

installation graduating over 150,000 communications operators and maintenance personnel by 1959.

By 1964, Scott became responsible for all aeromedical transportation within the U.S, and by 1975, the base was responsible for worldwide patient movement.

Throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, the Scott AFB’s mission continued to evolve and change with the addition of new aircraft and units. Scott’s present flying mission showcases the integration of the Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard components of the U.S. Air Force.

Religion UNESCO adopts Jerusalem resolution PA R I S ( A P ) — U N E S C O ' s e x e c u t i v e b o a rd o n Tu e s d a y approved a resolution that Israel says denies the deep historic Jewish connection to holy sites in Jerusalem — and that has angered Israel's government and many Jews around the world.

The resolution is not expected to have concrete impact on Jerusalem itself, but it aggravated diplomatic tensions around the city and within UNESCO, which is also facing a dispute between Japan and China that threatens funding.

It's the latest of several measures at UNESCO over decades that Israelis see as evidence of ingrained anti-Israel bias within the United Nations, where Israel and its allies are far outnumbered by Arab countries and their supporters.

Israel's concern has mounted since UNESCO states admitted Palestine as a member in 2011.

The resolution, titled "Occupied Palestine," lays out rules about the preservation of holy sites in Jerusalem, and uses only the Islamic name for a hilltop compound sacred

to both Jews and Muslims. The site includes the Western Wall, a remnant of the biblical temple and the holiest site where Jews can pray.

Jews refer to the hilltop compound in Jerusalem's Old City as the Temple Mount. Muslims refer to it as al-Haram al-Sharif, Arabic for the Noble Sanctuary, and it includes the Al-Aqsa mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock. It is the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam, after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The board adopted the resolution by consensus Tuesday at the Paris headquarters of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. A draft form of the resolution had already been approved by a commission last week.

Israel suspended its cooperation with UNESCO over the resolution last week, though it is not clear what programs the suspension will affect. Israel had already suspended its funding to UNESCO when Palestinian membership was

approved, along with the United States, which used to provide 22 percent of the agency's budget.

"We won't negotiate and we won't take part in these ugly games," the Israeli ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen, told The Associated Press after the ratification. "There is no place for these games in UNESCO. This noble organization was established to preserve history, not to rewrite it."

The longstanding dispute is also linked to Israel's refusal to grant visas to UNESCO experts to go in the country and assess the level of preservation of the holy sites in Jerusalem.

E l i a s S a n b a r, P a l e s t i n i a n ambassador to UNESCO, told the AP this refusal to allow a UNESCO mission was a "very big problem."

"The aim of the mission was not to say that Israel was an occupying power or not, the whole world knows it," he told the AP. "The aim was to say: according to the field of competence of UNESCO, are the monuments and historical sites of UNESCO well-preserved, and if

restored, well-restored according to the rules of restoration?"

On this issue, Shama-Hacohen said "there will not be any mission to Jerusalem under political d e c i s i o n s — w i t h t h e w o rd s 'occupying power,' with false allegations of Israel, we will never agree to such a mission. Jerusalem

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Denial"

Mick Jackson's "Denial" brings all the decorous polish of a British courtroom drama to the pungent libel case of a Holocaust denier.

Based on Deborah Lipstadt's book "History on Trial: My Day in Court With a Holocaust Denier," the film depicts when the unapologetically anti-Semitic historian David Irving brought a libel suit against Lipstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier in one of her books.

Because of the nature of libel cases in the United Kingdom (where Irving filed the suit), the burden of proof is on the defender, not the plaintiff. Hovering constantly throughout the trial — which ran eight weeks — is the question: Is it worthwhile to expend so much energy on such a loathsome liar?

It's a salient question with obvious relevance to a time where willful disregard for the truth increasingly runs rampant in national politics and social media streams, alike. Should trolls be taken to task or ignored?

"Denial" argues forcefully and convincingly for the vital necessity of confronting the perpetuation of dangerous falsehoods. It rises impressively to the wise and perhaps unpopular judgment that "not all opinions are equal." This is an honorable cause if not a particularly dramatic movie.

Just as the legal team behind Lipstadt's case brought a full array of firepower to the proceedings, so has Jackson in his film. The cast is littered with an impervious collection of British talent, in front of and behind the camera.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "mild action and some thematic elements."

RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes.

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

"Deepwater Horizon"

We all know how "Deepwater Horizon " ends. When the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, 11 people died and millions of gallons of oil spewed into the waters and up against the Gulf shores in the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The story of the aftermath, even 6 years later, is still being written. The how-did-it-happen is another thing, and the point of director Peter Berg's intensely thrilling indictment of the greed and gross negligence that contributed to the horrific outcome.

Like the best true stories translated to film, this well-known ending works for Berg, not against him. He and writers Matthew Sand and Matthew Michael Carnahan know, as Ron Howard did with "Apollo 13" and James Cameron knew with "Titanic," that it's not about whether they live or they die or if the ship goes down or all are saved. It's about the process and those decisions, big or small, corrupt or well-intentioned, that made this disaster inevitable.

Based on a New York Times article, "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hours," the film is about the crew — the men and women aboard just doing their jobs. Mark Wahlberg anchors as Mike Williams, a no-nonsense engineer, who leaves his wife (Kate Hudson) and precocious daughter at home for his dangerous job on the rig. An early scene with a school science project spells out exactly what he and his co-workers do and foreshadows what will go wrong. It's the kind of set up that on paper likely seems too cutesy, but here, it not only works, it actually builds tension rather effectively.

"Deepwater Horizon" rises above expectations of what a movie like this is capable of at every turn — restrained where you think it might go too big or sentimental, and genuinely affecting when you think you're gearing up for an eye-roll.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images, and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME: 107 minutes.

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

"The Birth of a Nation"

"The Birth of a Nation " has had more expectations placed on it than any movie could reasonably bear.

When the film about Nat Turner and his 1831 slave rebellion premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, it was held up, unfairly or not, as everyone's great hope to save us from another year of #OscarsSoWhite. Some handful of months later, it became representative of something else when the focus shifted to the then little-known fact that its creator and star, Nate Parker, had a past that involved not only a rape allegation, but the eventual suicide of the accuser.

Neither is a fair lens through which to judge "The Birth of a Nation." Complicated people have and will continue to make films. We'll all have to reconcile with that in our own way. #OscarsSoWhite, meanwhile, will never be solved with just one film — and certainly not by the first to screen after another year of homogenous nominees.

The fact is, "The Birth of a Nation" is a fine and promising debut from Parker, who also co-wrote and produced. It also feels very much like a first film, too, unable to reach the lofty artistry that it's striving for in juxtaposing unimaginable human injustices with both lyrical spirituality and shocking violence.

Out of necessity, "The Birth of a Nation" takes a lot of liberties with truths and unknowns about Nat Turner, fleshing out the skeleton of what the history books tell us.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "disturbing violent content, and some brief nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

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

"The Girl on the Train"

Tate Taylor's "The Girl on the Train" may be technically set in the Westchester suburb of Ardsley-on-Hudson, but its cocktail of commuter trains, marital infidelity and alcoholism make its proper setting Cheever Country.

The unhappy, martini-stained lives of New York suburbanites have long been a rich vein for writers like John Cheever, Richard Yates and Paula Fox. "The Girl on the Train" is the trashier, paperback version. Its old-school title may suggest Hitchcock or maybe Fincher (who himself is remaking Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train"). But Taylor's film, disappointingly, is nowhere near the league of either. Instead, it's closer to the kind of early '90s psychological thriller where bad things happen in slow motion and deadly instruments are drawn from kitchen drawers.

It's adapted from Paula Hawkins' popular London-set novel, the success of which was predicated on comparisons to Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl," a trio of unreliable narrators, all women, and the way it cleverly untwisted female clichés of domestic life: the bitter divorcee (Rachel, played by Emily Blunt), the sexy 'other woman' (Megan, Haley Bennett) and the unwitting wife (Anna, Rebecca Ferguson).

They are each introduced in their own chapter, but our central figure is Blunt's boozy, devastated Rachel, the so-dubbed "girl" who by all appearances is suspiciously like a woman. She spends her days riding the Metro North into and out of New York, cursing the suburban "baby factory" while mini liquor bottles fall off her lap. From the tracks, she obsessively gazes at a house where she spies who she believes is the perfect, impossibly handsome couple (Bennett, Luke Evans). "I just know they know love," she says.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "violence, sexual content, language and nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 105 minutes.

"The Accountant"

The bean counter cometh.

In Gavin O'Connor's "The Accountant," starring Ben Affleck, the paper-pushing CPA — roughly the exact opposite of Schwarzenegger or Stallone — gets his shot at action hero stardom. If we pull out our calculators, we can deduce that the odds of this are slim. Carrying the one and rounding up, you might even conclude that it's a patently ridiculous premise.

Just image the tagline possibilities. "The only thing he knows better than the tax code is his moral code!" ''Don't write him off!" ''He's the Price Waterhouse Killer!"

But "The Accountant" has much grander goals of implausibility. The film comes from a script by Bill Dubuque ("The Judge") that, come tax season, may well be at serious risk of an audit. It's about a secretive, autistic accountant for prominent criminals who's a muscular, military-grade hit man by hobby, plagued by his father's relentlessly militaristic parenting, who becomes embroiled in a robotic prostheses company's bid to go public. You know, THAT old story.

To cite the words exclaimed by John Lithgow's CEO at a climactic moment that's both bloodbath and family reunion: "What IS this?"

What "The Accountant" is one of the more unlikely movies to repeat the phrase "Just the Renoir." Christian Wolff (Affleck) is on the surface a small-town accountant outside Chicago who spends his days at his bland shopping center office and his nights in an airstream trailer parked inside a storage unit.

There he punishes himself with a bar he painfully rolls over his shins and stares quietly at an original Pollack nailed to the ceiling. (His Renoir is deemed more expendable.)

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

RUNNING TIME: 128 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Certain Women"

"Certain Women" is a quiet, introspective film about three women living and existing in a frozen Montana town. Does it sound dull? Sure. But on the screen it plays out like a slowburning folk song you could sit with for hours. It's perhaps writer-director Kelly Reichardt's finest work, understated and elegant and well worth a trip to the cinema to slip into the exquisitely literary vignettes of Beth (Kristen Stewart), Gina (Michelle Williams) and Laura (Laura Dern).

Adapted from Maile Meloy's short stories, Reichardt crafts her own short story-like structure to "Certain Women." There are some tangentially connecting threads, but for the most part they exist in different orbits even in and around the small, sleepy and picturesquely desolate Livingston, Montana.

We meet Laura (Dern) first. She's dressing after a mid-day fling with Ryan (James Le Gros) that doesn't seem to have been fulfilling enough for the effort. Back at her office (she's a lawyer) she's dismayed to find out that a needy client (Jared Harris) has been waiting for her. She explains to him for what seems like the millionth time that he has no recourse for his on-the-job injury because he's already taken a settlement. But he wants a second opinion and they drive to Billings to meet with an older male lawyer who tells him the exact same thing.

It's only then that he accepts it.

"It would be so lovely to think if I were a man, people would listen and say 'OK.' Ah, it'd be so restful," Laura sighs at one point.

That sentiment, a bone-deep exhaustion of merely existing and surviving and still maintaining your wants and desires and agency, flows into the next segment about Gina (Williams) and her family, made up of a bratty teenage daughter and an ineffectual husband, Ryan. It's the same guy we've already seen engaging in the extramarital dalliance with Laura. Both undermine her at every turn in familiar ways.

It's the same guy we've already seen engaging in the extramarital dalliance with Laura. Both undermine her at every turn in familiar ways. Gina, small and platinum blonde, maintains a steely demeanor throughout it all. These are just the facts of her surroundings, and you sense that they've been rotten for a while.

Reichardt and Williams, who excel in collaboration for films like "Wendy and Lucy"

and "Meek's Cutoff," have the ability to make even a conversation about buying sandstone from an elderly man transfixing and deep. It's a microcosm for Gina's entire worth. As with all of Reichardt's films, the gems are in the smallest moments — the half smiles, the nonreactions and the silences between two people barely connecting.

That's more heartbreakingly explored in the third and most obtuse story, which brings us to Jamie (Lily Gladstone) and Beth (Stewart).

Jamie, sturdy and sweet, works on a ranch tending to horses in cold isolation. One night she stumbles on a class at the local high school on education law. Jamie becomes fascinated with the jittery instructor Beth (Stewart), a beguiling outsider who travels four hours each way two times a week to teach.

"The Accountant" good, but not great

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge B e n A ff l e c k h e a d l i n e s t h e new film that topped the box office last weekend, "The Accountant". That's the most noteworthy thing about the film, one that features riveting action sequences and interesting commentary about how we currently are treating those with autism spectrum disorders. It a l s o , u n f o r t u n a t e l y, h a s a n expansive, talented cast - many of whom are given very little time to appropriately chew their scenery. I liked the movie, but i t d o e s n ' t c o m p l e t e l y re w a rd its viewers like director Gavin O'Connor's amazing earlier films ("Miracle", "Warrior").

C h r i s t i a n Wo l ff ( A ff l e c k ) i s an accountant who struggles

with relating to people in a s o c i a l a n d c o m m o n w a y. H e prefers to keep his relationships p ro f e s s i o n a l o r, y o u k n o w, a t arm's length. This works well f o r C h r i s . We l e a r n t h ro u g h various flashbacks that his childhood was fraught with painful lessons as his parents helped him to overcome the crippling limitations of his Asperger's Syndrome.

By 'help', I don't mean the kindly, h a rd w o r k i n g k i n d t h a t c o m e s with love and devotion. His mom bounced out of the scene e a r l y, a b a n d o n i n g C h r i s , h i s brother, and his strict military f a t h e r ( R o b e r t C . Tr e v e i l e r ) .

Dad, in fact, took the road to conformity quite seriously. He taught his boys that if the world were going to take advantage of either of them, they should be ready to pound back at the

first sign of trouble. Disability etiquette to him is a PC joke.

In the present day, Chris is being hunted by Treasury agents (Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J.K. Simmons) who have deduced that he is the man responsible for cooking the books for many of the most dangerous organizations in the world. They suspect that he's helping cartels, mafia families, Russian gangsters, and dishonest Middle Eastern conglomerates hide, clean, or move their ill-gotten monies. The mathematically inclined mind that Wolff possesses is keenly wired to do just this. He's also dangerous enough to work with these types of people and come out clean on the other side. An adulthood spent funneling money in the ways of criminals has left him wealthy and alone t o t h e p o i n t w h e re h e s t a r t s

contemplating taking steps to normalize his career. He's no longer content to keep to his routines, eat bacon for dinner every night, or stare endlessly at a Jackson Pollock on his ceiling.

Wo r k i n g w i t h a n u n s e e n handler (a British woman's voice on speakerphone who calls him "Dreamboat"), he goes to work for a Chicago-based ro b o t i c s c o m p a n y t h a t n e e d s t o u n d e r s t a n d a n i r re g u l a r i t y that a junior accounting analyst (Anna Kendrick, playing small) unwittingly uncovered.

Overnight, Wolff finds that the company's executives (Jean S m a r t , J o h n L i t h g o w, A n d y Umberger) have been using $61 million worth of legitimate e a r n i n g s t o p ro p u p t h e f i r m and overinflate its value in front of a hush-hush IPO. His discovery makes him a marked

October 27, 2016

man an d they set an assassin (Jon Bernthal, whom I usually love to hate) to silence the quiet accountant. Chris is done with the running and resettling that he's built into his repertoire like part of a business reputation.

Instead, he takes a stand and g o e s a f t e r t h e t h re a t u s i n g a private arsenal, an unstated code of morality, and with step-bystep revelations that tie Chris, h i s h i s t o r y, h i s f a m i l y, a n d many of the film's supporting characters into a web of selfserving cleverness that this critic, ahem, figured out with almost forty minutes left in the picture.

"The Accountant" runs 128 minutes and is rated R for strong violence and language throughout.

I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

The North American touring productions of "The Lion King" have been seen by more than 17 million theatergoers and grossed over $1.2 billion to date. Having already played more than 70 cities across North America, "The Lion King" now proudly makes its St. Louis return at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

In its 19th year, "The Lion King" continues ascendant as one of the most popular stage musicals in the world. Since its Broadway premiere on November 13, 1997, 23 global productions have been seen by more than 85 million people.

Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher), "The Lion King" is only the second show in history to generate five productions worldwide running 10 or more years. Translated into eight different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin and Portuguese), productions of "The Lion King" can currently be seen on Broadway; London’s West End; Hamburg; Tokyo; Madrid; Mexico City; Shanghai and on tour across North America, for a total of eight productions running concurrently across the globe. Having played over 100 cities in 20 countries on every continent except Antarctica, "The Lion King"’s worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or other entertainment title in box office history.

"The Lion King" won six 1998 Tony Awards®: Best Musical, Best Scenic Design (Richard Hudson), Best Costume Design (Julie Taymor), Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder), Best Choreography (Garth Fagan) and Best Direction of a Musical. "The Lion King" has also earned more than 70 major arts awards including the 1998 NY Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the 1999 Grammy® for Best Musical Show Album, the 1999 Evening Standard Award for

October 27, 2016

Theatrical Event of the Year and the 1999 Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.

The show’s director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show’s ongoing success. The first woman to win a Tony Award for Direction of a Musical, Taymor has in recent years supervised new productions of the show around the world.

The Broadway score features Elton John and Tim Rice’s music from The Lion King animated film along with three new songs by John and Rice; additional musical material

by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and music from "Rhythm of the Pride Lands," an album inspired by the original music in the film, written by Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Hans Zimmer.

The resulting sound of "The Lion King" is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, ranging from the Academy Award®-winning song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” to the haunting ballad “Shadowland.”

The book has been adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed The Lion King animated feature, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the film’s screenplay. Other members of the creative team include: Michael Curry, who designed the masks and puppets with Taymor, Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Ward (hair and makeup design), John Stefaniuk (associate director), Marey Griffith (associate choreographer), Clement Ishmael (music supervisor) and Doc Zorthian (production supervisor). Anne Quart serves as associate producer.

Edison Theatre hosting "Passing Strange" For The Edge Now you don’t know me And I don’t know you, So let’s cut to the chase, The name is Stew — T h e N a r r a t o r, “ P a s s i n g Strange” South Central Los Angeles, 1976.

The lawns are manicured, the palm trees sway, the savings bonds are tucked optimistically away.

But the Youth is restless. He stays out late. He dabbles in Buddhism.

He bickers with his mother. Then something occurs. He attends church service. The sermon leaves him cold but the choir lights a fire.

So begins “Passing Strange,” Stew’s semi-autobiographical account of artistic self-discovery.

Washington University in St. Louis’ Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences will present the Tony Award-winning rock musical Oct. 21-30 in Edison Theatre.

“It’s a coming of age story,” said director Ron Himes, the PAD’s Henry E. Hampton, Jr. Artist-inResidence, and founder of The Black Rep. The lead character, known only as the Youth, “is experimental, inquisitive and open to new experiences. But he’s also selfcentered.” As the story progresses, “he is molded, he is shaped and he is colored.

“He is challenged,” Himes said.

“And he reinvents himself.”

Following his musical revelation, the Youth briefly joins the church choir, where the pastor ’s son introduces him to philosophy and marijuana. He learns guitar and forms a punk band. But the band breaks up after a bad LSD trip. The Youth decamps for Amsterdam.

“He goes to Europe to find himself,” Himes said with a laugh.

“That’s what Hendrix had to do.

L.A. can’t handle a freaky black man.”

Life is good in Amsterdam.

The Youth takes up with a group of artists. His days are happily debauched – perhaps too much

so. His music dries up. And so he leaves again, arriving in Berlin amidst a May Day riot. There, he falls in with a revolutionary cadre and falls into bed with their leader, Desi.

“In Berlin, things become more political,” Himes said. “The cadre is full of angst. Everybody hates the system, and they change how he thinks and how he sees the world.

They also confront him about his own commercial tastes. He’s brave, but he’s not brave enough to be adventuresome in his music.”

In response, said Himes, the Youth “adopts this whole ‘ghetto

persona.’ It’s not who he is, but he can get away with it there. But Desi sees through it. She asks him to take off his mask, but he can’t. That’s when things starts falling apart.

“I think the show will resonate for a lot of parents,” said Himes, noting that “Passing Strange” will coincide with Parents Weekend.

“I think about myself, running around campus at 18- or 19-yearsold, thinking I knew everything. … Reflecting on your own life gives you a greater understanding for what young people are going through today.”

At the same time, “I hope that

students will see that you can’t be afraid to search,” Himes said.

“You’ve got to take those leaps.

They help to shape the person you become.

“In the end it’s all about the journey.”

Cast and crew The cast of 12 is led by David Dwight as the Youth, Ebby Offord as the Mother and Charles Glenn as the Narrator. Also appearing, in multiple roles, are Brandace Anderson, Mario Davila, Chris Gauss, Tre’von Griffith, Elvin Hu, Neema Kamala, Amarachi Onyema, Alessandra Silva and Namrata

Vakkalagadda.

The band is led by musical d i re c t o r C h a r l e s C re a t h , a n d features Provost Holden Thorp on bass guitar. Set design is by senior lecturer Rob Morgan, with assistance from Sydney Shafer.

Costumes are by Bonnie Kruger, professor of the practice in drama.

Projection designer is Sean Savoie, with lighting by Dominick Ehling and Adam Kern. Sound is by Jon Zielke. Choreographer is Michael Uthoff, artistic director for Dance St. Louis.

Tickets “Passing Strange” begins at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21 and 22; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23. Performances continue the following weekend, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 28 and 29; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30.

Performances take place in Edison Theatre, located in Mallinckrodt Center, 6465 Forsyth Blvd. Tickets are $20, or $15 for students, seniors and Washington University faculty and staff, and $10 for WashU students. Tickets are available through the Edison Theatre Box Office.

Travel Missouri Invitational Fish and Golf Championship scheduled For The Edge

D

ion Hibdon feels comfortable with a fishing rod in his hands. But a golf club? Well, that's a different story.

When Hibdon, a legendary pro bass fisherman, entered the Missouri Invitational Fish and Golf Championship pro-am tournament last fall, he wasn't sure what to expect when it came time to tee off at the Old Kinderhook course on Lake of the Ozarks.

"I had never golfed before," said Hibdon, one of few pro fishermen to win championship tournaments on both the BASS and FLW circuits, "so I wasn't sure where my ball was going to go.

"But I surprised myself. I mean, I don't think I'm ready for the (golf) tour, but I didn't embarrass myself."

The fishing Hibdon boys - Dion, his sons Payden and Lawson, and possibly even his famous dad, Guido - will be back November 16-18 for the unique tournament at Lake of the Ozarks that attracted national attention in its inaugural year.

Other nationally known professional fishermen such as Casey Scanlon, Stacey King, Kevin Short, Mike McClelland, Jeremy Lawyer and James Watson will be paired with amateurs to chase bass and birdies.

Here's how the event, based at the Old Kinderhook Golf Course and Resort, will work.

The event will get underway with a banquet and auction Nov. 15, in which amateurs will bid for the pro fisherman they want to team with.

The fishing will begin Nov. 16 with a full day on Lake of the Ozarks.

On Nov. 17, fishermen and their amateur partners will be joined by a local golf pro and they will play 18 holes of scramble-type golf. The teams will receive the equivalent of 2 pounds of bass for an eagle, 1 pound for a birdie and

one-half pound for a par.

The tournament will conclude Nov. 18 with a full day of fishing.

Weigh-ins will start at 3 p.m., with the awards ceremony to follow.

This event isn't all fun and games. The winning team will take home $15,000.

ON WATER AND LAND That format is fitting at Lake of the Ozarks, according to Bob Renken, one of the founders of the tournament.

"We wanted to come up with something to showcase two of Lake of the Ozarks's major draws - fishing and golf," said Renken,

who is executive director of Old Kinderhook. "This is the perfect way.

"Some of these fishermen get out and golf quite a bit, but others tried it for the first time last year.

Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun with it."

Mark Wiese Jr., of High Ridge, Mo., certainly did. He and his amateur partner, Jared Williams of O'Fallon, Mo., won the first Missouri Invitational, performing well on water and land.

"I and a few of the other fishermen who golf had been pushing for something like this,"

said Wiese, a top regional bass fisherman and a veteran golfer.

"It was a great time. When you can fish and golf in the same tournament, that's ideal for me."

The tournament combines two of Renken's passions. He is an accomplished tournament bass fisherman at Lake of the Ozarks, and he also is an avid golfer and oversees one of the most highly acclaimed public courses in Missouri.

The event also showcases the Old Kinderhook complex, which includes the award-winning golf course, a luxury lodge, fine dining, a spa, an ice-skating rink and even a boat ramp for fishermen.

Bob Bueltmann, who runs the www.BassingBob.com website, is co-founder of the Missouri Invitational and he too is excited about the reception the tournament has received.

"This year, we moved the entry fee to $1,000," Bueltmann said.

"Two weeks after we opened the entry period, we were sold out."

SPECTATORS WELCOME The public can be a part of the event by following their favorite fishermen on water and land.

The fishermen will launch at 8 a.m. Nov. 16 and 18 at the Old Kinderhook ramp. Weigh-ins will

begin at 3 p.m. each day at the Old Kinderhook stage by the iceskating rink.

Golf will start at 11 a.m. Nov. 17 at the Old Kinderhook course, and Renken encourages galleries to follow their favorite teams while they are on the course.

There will be no charge to spectators.

The public is welcome to join in the festivities of the opening night, November 16, from 6 to 9 p.m. for a sit-down dinner, rub elbows and talk with the pros and enjoy the auction. Cost per person is $40. Buy your tickets at http://store.bassingbob. com/product/tournaments/ missouri-invitational-fishinggolfchampionship-at-old-kinderhookadditional-dinner-ticket-forwednesday/. Seating is limited.

Old Kinderhook is located at 20 Eagle Drive outside of Camdenton, Mo. For more information on the Missouri Invitational Fish and Golf Championship, visit www.

Tuning in Yes to perform at The Fox

Long-time Yes fans, rejoice! Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman are proud to announce that after a hiatus of 25 years, they are to reform the definitive Yes line-up as – Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman (ARW).

Yes will perform live at the F a b u l o u s F o x We d n e s d a y, November 9 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $100, $75, $65, $55, $45 and are available online at metrotix. com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Since they last played together in 1990 on the highly successful Yes ‘Union Tour’, there have been various hybrid versions of the band. However, none featured the iconic voice of Jon Anderson, the outstanding guitar talent of Trevor Rabin, and the keyboard wizardry of Rick Wakeman. The aim of the band will be to restore the standard of excellence in performance that they established with their 1990 shows - which saw Yes members past and present come together for the first (and only) time of the legendary band's career.

"To be able to sing and perform with Rick and Trevor at this time in my life is a treasure beyond words," explains Jon. "I'm so excited to create new music and revisit some of the classic work we created many years ago, it's going to be a musical adventure on so many new levels."

"Trevor and I have wanted to play Yes music together since the Union Tour," adds Rick. "And as for so many of us, there is no Yes music without Jon. The 'Holy Trinity of Yes' is for me, very much a dream come true."

T h e m o s t s u c c e s s f u l p ro g rock group of all time, Yes was co-founded by Jon Anderson and the late Chris Squire in 1968 and went on to sell millions of units with releases such as Fragile, Close to The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Going For The One and 90125, as well as embarking on several record-breaking world tours.

While Rick is associated with the '70s "prog era" of the band (which saw Yes become a worldwide stadium headliner) and Trevor associated with the '80s "pop era" of the band (which furthered the band's popularity - including the band's biggest chart success), Jon is the bridge between both factions (as he was a member of both eras).

Not content to rest on past glory, Jon, Trevor and Rick are working on new songs, which are currently being recorded.

The band will make its live debut in North America in October/ November, followed by the Rest of

the World in 2017.

Rain, a tribute to the Beatles, coming to the Fox

Opening on Sunday, March 5, 2017 for a limited engagement at The Fabulous Fox Theatre will be Rain, a tribute to the Beattles.

Tickets are $100, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix. com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Experience an all new show when the internationally-acclaimed Beatles concert, Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles, returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Sunday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m.

As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Associated Press), Rain performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition to the updated sets that include brand new LED, HighDefinition screens and multimedia content, new songs have also been included with the launch of the 2017 Tour.

Together longer than The Beatles, Rain has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friend.

Like The Beatles, the onstage members of Rain are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.

St. Louis’ otherwise exceptional classical programming. “ N o o t h e r v e n u e o r g ro u p regularly hosts high profile solo recitals,” said Todd Decker, chair of music. “An entire repertory of classical music is simply missing from the live music scene. We want our students, especially those studying piano, to have access to recitals at the same high level they do for symphonic, chamber and choral music.

“The Great Artist Series will offer something unique to the university and to the larger community,” Decker added.

“Our goal is for live classical music to be an integral — indeed essential — part of student life, as well as a lifelong habit that continues beyond the college years.”

Schedule The Washington University Great Artist Series will begin Feb. 9, 2017, with Jonathan Biss performing music of Robert Schumann, György Kurtág, Frédéric Chopin and Johannes Brahms.

The series will continue April 23 with Yefim Bronfman performing music of Béla Bartók, Schumann,

Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky.

Nathan Gunn will conclude the series May 5 with music of Schumann, Samuel Barber, Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf and Charles Ives.

Jonathan Biss Known for virtuosic energy and control, Biss has drawn worldwide praise for the “balance between clarity and wildness” (Kansas City Star) that he brings to both classic and contemporary works. His numerous albums include several recordings of Schumann as well as two short Kurtág pieces, included on “Piano Sonatas” (2009), which NPR Music named one of its best albums of the year.

A prolific writer, Biss is author of the best-selling ebook “Beethoven’s Shadow” (2011) and “A Pianist Under the Influence” (2012), a tribute to Schumann. His online course “Exploring Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas” has reached more than 100,000 people in more than 160 countries.

Yefim Bronfman One of today’s most “incisive and exhilarating” (Chicago Tribune)

pianists, Bronfman is renowned for his commanding technique and exceptional lyrical gifts. He has appeared with leading orchestras and given solo recitals in major halls around the world, including his acclaimed debuts at Carnegie Hall in 1989 and Avery Fisher Hall in 1993.

Widely praised for his solo, chamber and orchestral recordings, Bronfman is a three-time Grammy nominee and winner, in 1997, for his recording of the three Bartók Piano Concerti, with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Other honors include the 1991 Avery Fisher Prize, one of the highest honors given to an American instrumentalist.

Nathan Gunn Following his breakout performance in Opera Theatre of St. Louis’ 2002 production of Ambroise Thomas’ “Hamlet,” Gunn has emerged as a much sought-after baritone, praised by Opera News for his impressive arsenal of “robust legato climaxes, snarly macho lower notes and beautiful, floating upper tones.”

A frequent recitalist and

Wash U. to host Great Artists Series

Yefim Bronfman is “a fearless pianist for whom no score is too demanding” (Wall Street Journal).

Nathan Gunn is a baritone “with unmistakable star power” (Opera News). Pianist Jonathan Biss “radiates a confidence solidly based on prodigious technique” (Washington Post).

Next year, Washington University in St. Louis will welcome three of the brightest stars in the classical firmament to the 560 Music Center as part of its new Great Artist Series.

Presented by the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences, the Great Artist Series aims to fill a gap in
