David Thompson, President and CEO of Peoples Bank & Trust said, “Like in the past few years, the scholarship winners went up on the billboard; it is just an additional way of honoring these students.

“Man of Steel”
9
By Steve Bryan - Rated: PG-13
Since his first comic book appearance in 1938, Superman has changed to keep pace with the times. The original incarnation was, surprisingly enough, considered a vigilante by the police. Though not as powerful as he later became, Superman was more than capable at the time of throwing arch-enemy Lex Luthor headfirst into a tree. The big-budget Man of Steel brings the iconic character into the 21st Century. Henry Cavill (Immortals) is the latest actor to slip on the red cape and boots, Man of Steel photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures playing what many consider to be the greatest superplayed by Kevin Costner, teaches his boy to focus on hero of all time. Cavill brings a thoughtful aspect to the character, emphasizing the struggles he has fitting the greater good, even if some people have to die in the process. The elder Kent puts that painful lesson to the into human society. Telling this tale with flashbacks, director Zack Snyder ultimate test in one flashback. Henry Cavill does a beautiful job in his dual role. Cav(Watchmen) focuses on Clark Kent, an orphan from the ill and Snyder understand that Superman, planet Krypton. Adopted by farmers Jonathan and Marwith his suit and powers, really is just a job tha Kent (Kevin Costner, Diane Lane), Clark is troubled for the orphan from Krypton. As Lois Lane by his superhuman abilities. When an old enemy from his homeworld shows up on (a wonderful Amy Adams) discovers, Superman can lift oil rigs and fly, but inside, he is Earth, however, Clark must embrace the lessons he learned from his biological and adoptive fathers to keep humanity safe from destruction. He also deals with a world that looks at his origins and powers with suspicion and fear. A thoughtful superhero adventure, Man of Steel borrows heavily from DC Comics’ 1986 reboot of the character. At that time, the publishers thought Superman— who could easily move planets and travel through time—was too powerful to be considered a mere superhero. Man of Steel even shows a young Clark Kent struggling with his enhanced senses and strength. In one key scene, Martha Kent trains her adopted son to block out the myriad voices he picks up with his super-hearing. Director Zack Snyder also alludes to Clark’s painful adaptation to Earth’s atmosphere. Snyder also delves deeply into Superman’s moral code. Jonawww.stpetersmo.net than Kent, beautifully under-
just a Kansas farm boy named Clark. Kudos to Snyder, Cavill, and Adams for a wonderful reboot of the Superman franchise. They help bring audiences a cinematic hero who fits nicely into the modern world. Man of Steel, rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence, and destruction and for some language, currently is playing in theaters. Born and raised in South St. Louis, Steve Bryan is now based in Anaheim, California, and has been allowed access to movie and television sets to see actors and directors at work. Though his writing has taken him far from St. Louis, Steve is, at heart, still the same wide-eyed kid who spent countless hours watching classic movies at neighborhood theaters.

St. Louis indoor soccer fans will be able to say they have a team in the 2013-14 Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) after a seven- year drought with the St. Louis Ambush. The first game at the Arena in St. Charles is slated for mid-November. “Reviving the champion Ambush name fits perfectly with that goal (bringing a winning team),” said owner Andrew Haines. Daryl Doran, a St. Louis legend who has played for every St. Louis Pro Indoor Soccer team was named the coach. The owner of the Arena St. Charles County improved the facility adding $800,000 of upgrades. They include new dasher boards and two 30’x25’ high-definition video and scoring displays, and ribbon boards running around the middle deck of the arena. Visit www.stlouisambush.com to get all the details. ~~~Now that’s what I’m talking about

Book on Becoming an Adult Not Just for 20-Somethings Studies show it’s taking young people longer to grow up and assume adult responsibilities than it did in the past. Pseudo grownups reel when their parents offer advice or make the comparison that begins, “When I was your age, I . . .” Well, we’re not and the surest way to turn off our offspring is to start a conversation like this. Instead, wrap up a copy of Adulting, How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps, or leave the book in a spot where your 20-something will trip over it when they’re moving their stuff home after college or coming back to live with you when a job hasn’t panned out, or a relationship hits the skids. With a light touch, author Kelly Williams Brown, a newspaper reporter and columnist, offers solid advice in an easy-to-read paperback that should be required for those maneuvering the murky, treacherous waters of adulthood. Everything from how to stock a kitchen with the essentials, to engaging in social conversation, to tips on job interviews and career decisions, to initiating romantic relationships, and ending them, to growing and maintaining friendships, managing money and telling a 401(k) from an IRA are included — and more. Though Brown’s how-to guide is intended for young adults, readers of all ages will benefit from her wisdom and wit. This 20-something has written a beneficial book that many a middle-ager or senior could learn from. If you’ve ever wanted to know a polite way to end a cocktail conversation, move your household stuff or accept a person as he or she is, check out Adulting. Brown has solid advice for us all.

Over the Fence
The Generation of “Me” I remember complaining about the “Me Generation” in the early nineties when I suffered lane hogs in rush hour traffic. When I hear the term applied to today’s generation, it makes me feel older than I am. What is the “Me Generation” you ask? There are plenty of examples. For instance, the driver that parks in handicapped spaces and sprints to the mall entrance like a gazelle is a typical example. Another might be that lane hog in the inside passing lane holding up traffic while gabbing on a cell phone...or worse yet; texting! In that category, I may as well include those who intentionally park in the middle of two spaces using the excuse of avoiding door dings. The door dingers also qualify. -One of my pet peeves from my youth was the people that dumped their trash alongside rural roads. It still happens. These are definitely members of the generation of “Me”. In other words, everything is all about them and
no one else matters. Friends offered other examples: -The friend you helped with a problem and succeeded in doing so only to have this so-called friend take credit for doing it all alone. Happens a lot in the workplace. -The school bully is one of the greatest examples but a parent added something; the bigger bullies are almost invariably the parents of bullies who refuse to correct their misguided offspring. Good point. -The shopper that wheels a basket with 25 or more items to the 10 items-or-less checkout counters. -The millionaires or billionaires that fervently believe their wealth makes them geniuses and entitles them to tell others how to live or even run the government. -It goes without saying the most examples I heard about were the US legislature. I guess you can’t get a better one than our current batch of all-about-me, get-rich-quick power-mongers. -A restaurant employee offered a good one: The person that loudly jabbers on a cell phone in a bar or restaurant instead of politely excusing themselves and going outside. Some included cigar smokers but that has already become politically incorrect. Cigar smokers now have to go outside or be banished to Siberia
or an unreasonable facsimile. A month in a cage in the middle of Westlake Landfill comes to mind. -The same employee also mentioned the parents of unruly children who ignore them running up and down the aisles screaming, yelling and disturbing the other customers. Those parents are probably the major cause and effect of what brought on the “Me Generation”. -In that example of parental apathy toward offspring behavior, it includes the young freaks that murdered theater goers, school kids, staff and so on. -Blaming others for one’s own mistakes or refusing to admit mistakes also gets honorable mention. This is the best way I know of to lose friends and infuriate loved ones faster than a teenager can disappear at lawn mowing time. -CEO Roger Waggoner was accused of inheriting and adding to the downfall of General Motors and was summarily canned not long after he arrived in Washington DC in one of a fleet of executive jets to beg for financial bailout for his failing corporation. When the legislators became incensed at his audacity and refused, he immediately flew to his mansion on the French Riviera to pout. Waggoner may be the king of the Me Generation. -Of course, genuine narcissists qualify two-fold. Narcissist is defined as: “Self-admiration: excessive self-admiration and self-centeredness.” There is a good side, however. Despite irritating us, they also make us appreciate those without this syndrome all the more.
