In 61 years, Lois Murphyhasn’t missed a singleApple Festival.The Murphysboro
native, best known for herrole in restoring andoperating the historicdowntown LibertyTheater, has seen festivalscome and go, but whenearly September rollsaround each year, she findsherself excited for what liesahead.
The Apple Festival hasbecome a mainstay inMurphysboro, acelebration of the town’sheritage and successes anda homecoming forresidents who have movedaway. For that one week ayear, the city’s spirit is ondisplay for SouthernIllinois.
“It’s just a goodcelebration here for ourtown,” Murphy said.
To appreciate thepresent, sometimes onehas to look to the past. Andthis year’s festival will giveresidents and guests alike achance to do just that.
The Liberty Theater willbe showing historic films“Murphysboro 1926” and“Murphysboro 1938” at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.Thursday and Friday,Sept. 16-17. The filmsshow what life was like inMurphysboro for theprevious generationthrough photographs andrestored video reels.
“They’re very good,”Murphy said, notingpeople continue to ask forthe films to be shown. “Itsure gives you aperspective on what it usedto be and what it is now.”
The screenings, madepossible by the JacksonCounty Historical Society,will cost a donation to theongoing renovation effortsat the Liberty, which wasreally added to theNational Register ofHistoric Places.
Apple Festival guests canstep even farther back intime with a visit to theMurphysboro EventCenter, where the GeneralJohn A. Logan Museumwill host an exhibit called“Caught in the Sweep ofHistory: Murphysboro inthe Civil War 1861-1865.”
Through a series ofinformative panels anddisplays, the exhibit tellsthe story of how the WarBetween the Statesaffected the SouthernIllinois town.

From the residents lostin battle to the cost ofaiding the cause, a numberof different aspects of life,economics and politics areexplored in this exhibit.
“It puts the focus on thecity itself,” said MikeJones, executive director ofthe museum. “I thoughtthis would be a goodopportunity to look at howa war this terrible wouldaffect one smallcommunity.”
Of course, the festival
also features the standardfare and traditions peoplehave come to expectthroughout the years. Fromthe annual parade throughdowntown to the rides andcarnival games, all thepopular events are back.
Each person has theirown favorite element ofthe festival. Murphy saidshe enjoys watching highschool bands compete inthe Drums at Appletimecompetition, while Jones’sweet tooth comes intoplay for his answer.
“I like the parade, but I
love funnel cakes,” he said.“I limit myself to aboutone a year — or one a dayeach year during the AppleFestival.”
For Barbara Dallas, oneof the city’s tourismcommissioners, it’s thepeople who help make theevent special.
“What I enjoy most isseeing the people,” shesaid. “I enjoy waving topeople in the parade, evenif I don’t know them.”

CARTERVILLE — DaisyChervinko has been a Heartfan for as long as she canremember.
The girl-rock band’sdebut album “DreamboatAnnie” was released rightbefore the Carbondalewoman was born, and herparents played the tunesnonstop when she was achild.
In some ways, Ann andNancy Wilson wereChervinko’s earliestinspirations.
“Thanks to them andseveral other femalerockers, the first thing Iever wanted to be when Igrew up was a singer anddancer in a rock ‘n’ rollband,” she said. “I used todream of having a singingvoice as amazing as AnnWilson’s.”
When Chervinko begandating her now-husband,she started to introducehim to the classic rock ofher youth, including“Dreamboat Annie.” Theband played a role in yetanother milestone in herlife.
Now, on Sunday, Sept.16, she’ll finally have achance to see the Wilsonslive, as Heart performs atWalker’s Bluff Winery. Shehas plans to attend theconcert with one of herbest friends, who happensto be celebrating a birthdaythat night.
“That will be anotherHeart memory,” Chervinkosaid. “The one song I’maching to hear them play is‘Barracuda,’ but, honestly,anything they play will be
fine with me.”The Wilson sisters will
surely play that song andall their other hits — like“Crazy on You,” “MagicMan” and “Straight On” —as well as some more recentmaterial, when they takethe stage at their 5 p.m.concert. Tickets are $60 or$125 for VIP.
Through their nearly 40years in the musicbusiness, the Wilsons havebeen labeled as sexsymbols, feminist iconsand critically acclaimedartists, selling more than 35million albums worldwide.And they show no signs ofslowing down.
They will release anautobiography, “Kickingand Dreaming: A Story ofHeart, Soul and Rock andRoll,” later this month, andtheir newest studio album,“Fanatic,” will be releasedOct. 2. At this stage in thegame, they know exactlywhat they’re doing.
“When you’re pushingsixty, you know what youwant and you go for it,”Nancy Wilson said in aprepared statement.“You’re not going to test itout for five or 10 years;you’re going to get in thecar and drive.”
It’s not as if the womendon’t have enough to beproud of either. As a duo,they racked up hits fromthe 1976 release of“Dreamboat Annie”through the 1990s, whenthey produced hit songslike “These Dreams” and“Alone.” After the turn ofthe century, they tooksome time to each pursuetheir own projects.
Nancy composed and
performed award-winningmovie scores for “JerryMcGuire” and “AlmostFamous,” while Ann struckon the road as a soloperformer. But timecouldn’t keep them apartforever, and in 2010, Heartreturned to the Billboardcharts with the release of“Red Velvet Car” and a Top5 DVD, “Night at SkyChurch.”
In the wake of thesuccess of “Red Velvet Car,”the sisters decided the timewas right to follow up on afrequent request: to write abook. But they didn’t wantto go the route of a tabloid-esque gossip collection.
“We’ve had moments offailure and vulnerabilityand humiliation, sure, butours is also the story ofwomen who are being toldthere are rules to followand just won’t do it,” AnnWilson said in the band’sstatement.
The Wilsons collaboratedwith Seattle rock expertCharles R. Cross, who alsowrote biographies ofNirvana and Jimi Hendrix,for their project. The resultis a in-depth look at themoments that have definedthe sisters as women and asperformers.
“There’s really no pointin going through all of thisif you’re going to write awhite wash,” Ann said. “Wereally hung ourselves outthere.”
Through the years, theWilsons have never losttheir original mindset andattitude. They honor thepast while celebrating theglory of the future, andthat mentality is reflectedin the defiant emotion that
defines their sound. That’ssomething that will neverchange.
“We always joke around
that we are warriors forlove,” Nancy said.
“We are the peace corpsand guitars and dreams are
our lethal weapons.”

As teenagers learning toplay guitar, BrianKelley and Tyler
Hubbard both dreamed ofconquering the countrymusic world.
While their friendswanted to be the nextBrett Favre or MichaelJordan, they fantasized ofbecoming a dominateindustry force like GeorgeStrait or Garth Brooks.
The plan of individualstardom began to slowlydisappear when theyattended prestigiousBelmont University inNashville a few years ago.After being introduced bya mutual friend, theystarted hanging out andwriting songs together.
Adopting the nameFlorida Georgia Line, theduo was soon playingclubs in Music City anddeveloped a large fan basewith an infectious, high-energy stage presentation.
“We met over atBelmont a couple yearsago and started writingsongs together,” Kelly saidduring a recent telephoneinterview. “It wasn’t aplanned thing. We wereplaying these tiny clubsand hotel lounges andstarted tearin’ up theroom. Good things startedto happen pretty quickly.”
Less than two monthsago, Florida Georgia Linesigned with the RepublicNashville branch of the BigMachine Label Group,home of Taylor Swift andRascal Flatts, andsuddenly current single“Cruise” started soaringup the Billboard singleschart.
“We knew we had
something special whenwe wrote it but had no ideait would create such a buzzand spread like wildfire,”Kelley said. “We have topinch ourselves dailybecause it has been a verycrazy last couple ofmonths. We’re enjoyingevery minute of it.”
Several months ago, theband was booked to playthe Copper Dragon inCarbondale on Sept. 14.The show sold out earlierthis week.
Kelley said the best partof his day is when the bandis performing.
“There’s not a betterfeeling in the world than tobe able to share the stageeach night with your bestfriend,” he said. “Thistakes a lot of energy andhard work. We arededicated to putting on agreat show for the fansevery night.”
Despite the seeminglyunlimited supply of energy
possessed by the duo, theywere completely zapped ofstrength on a recentmarathon day of shootingthe video to accompanythe “Cruise” single.
“It was tiring but a lot offun,” Hubbard said. “Itwas an important daybecause we got to use a lotof our family and friendson the project. There werepeople there we hadn’tseen in a while and it wasfun sharing a little bit ofwhat we do with them. Itwas an unforgettable day.”
The video is in veryheavy rotation on theCMT and GAC cablechannels. It was filmed inone grueling day at a farmon the outskirts ofNashville and prominentlyfeatures several bikini-clad females, animpromptu game of strippoker and a jacked-upChevy truck with atowering lift kit.
Selecting the nameFlorida Georgia Line was ano brainer for this duo,since Hubbard comes fromMonroe, Ga., and Kelleyhails from Ormond Beach,Fla.
With one memberrooting for the GeorgiaBulldogs and the othersupporting the FloridaState Seminoles, it wasthrilling for the band totour major college townsin the South to jumpstarttheir career, a routeprevious followed by theirmajor musical influencesJason Aldean, BrantleyGilbert and the LoCashCowboys.
In December, the duoreleased a five-song EPtitled “It’z Just What WeDo,” which includes the“Cruise” hit, currently theNo. 6 most downloadedcountry single on iTunes.The EP is available at alldigital retailers.
“We are in and out of thestudio right now workingon our next project,”Hubbard said. Nottraditional countrysingers, both artists saidtheir ultimate duet partnerwould be rapper Lil’Wayne.
The popularity of theband spiked this summerwhen it was invited to bepart of the CountryThrowdown Tour, which
featured major acts GaryAllen, Justin Moore andRodney Atkins. It made astop at Rent One Park inMarion on June 29.
This summer, FloridaGeorgia Line also made itsduet on the Grand OleOpry and signed on as theopening act for JakeOwen’s “CMT On Tour”concert series, whichbegins Oct. 10 in New YorkCity.
Although tickets are soldout for the Sept. 14concert in Carbondale,Florida Georgia Line willbe appearing with CraigMorgan, Colt Ford andothers on Sept. 22 at theRowdy Ridge Music Fest inSturgis, Ky., which is justover the bridge fromShawneetown.
The two-day event alsofeatures David LeeMurphy, Darryl Worley,Bo Brice and others onSept. 21.

The Words **Rated PG-13 for briefstrong language andsmoking; starring BradleyCooper, Zoe Saldana,Jeremy Irons, DennisQuaid, Olivia Wilde, NoraArnezeder and BenBarnes; directed by BrianKlugman and LeeSternthal; opening Fridayat ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale AMC Centre 8in Marion
BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
“The Words” is, as itsname suggests, a wordymelodrama about a youngwriter, Rory Jansen(Bradley Cooper), whofinishes his first novel,three years in the making— which is promptlyrejected. Maybe, hewonders, he’s not who hethought he was — awriter.
Then he stumblesacross a yellowed,unpublished manuscriptfrom long ago and sees hissalvation, his shortcut tofame.
Maybe, he realizes, he’snot who he thought hewas — an ethical, honestman.
“Words” is a pleasantbut overly complexvariation on an ideaWoody Allen toyed-within his stumbling “YouWill Meet a Tall DarkStranger,” this notion ofcounterfeit literary fame,a stolen manuscript.What co-writer/directors Brian Klugmanand Lee Sternthal (“TronLegacy”) attempt to dowith it is get at the guiltthat comes with ill-gotten glory.
Rory is cursed withbeing good enough torecognize the gem he’sstumbled across in an
attache case bought in aParis antique shop,cursed with knowing thisnovel is better thananything he’ll ever write.His adoring wife (theluminous Zoe Saldana)can tell him “You areeverything you alwayswanted to be,” but Roryknows better. Every wordof praise for this book hecopied is a slap at thewriter and man he reallyis.
“The Words,” in a fit ofambition, goes after itsthemes by telling threestories, each existingwithin the others.
There’s the dullframework of the piece, abook reading by anovelist, Clay Hammond(Dennis Quaid), whodelivers the beyond-banallines from his latest novelabout “a young strugglingwriter struggling to makehis voice heard.” How didthis dullard get to be afamous novelist, withOlivia Wilde as his newwide-eyed groupie, noless?
He tells us, after afashion. Hammondnarrates the second story,Rory’s romance with thefair Dora (Saldana). Wesee Rory’s years ofstruggle and his discovery of the novel hewould ride to fame. AndHammond, giving awaythe whole novel in thisone reading — apparently — tells of theday Rory meets “The OldMan,” the one person onEarth who recognized this book as his own,written more than half acentury earlier, the oneman who knows Rory is afraud.
Is Hammond suggestingthis is his own secret?
Quaid has a nicegravitas, but is saddledwith a “book” that makesHammond come off as a
lousy storyteller. Cooper,earnest as ever, nicelyunderplays Rory’sfrustrations but doeslittle to suggest a guysupposedly wracked withguilt over the limolifestyle he’s stolen.
As the Old Man, JeremyIrons is the best naturalstoryteller in the cast,lending warmth to verygeneric narration of post-World War II romance,tragedy and the fervor inwhich he created thenovel that makes Roryfamous.
Ben Barnes and NoraArnezeder play the youngcouple in the Old Man’sflashback within aflashback.
Irons has the disarmingtwinkle of old age, but hecan still turn on the steely glint of accusationand menace.
No wonder Cooperlooks in awe and ill at easein their scenes together —the best scenes in themovie.
If you were setting outto write the perfect fallfilm, you’d include muchthat’s in “The Words” —romance, romanticsettings (New York andParis), mystery, literaryintrigue and longing.
But for that “perfect”film, you’d have toheighten the emotions,make more of thecharacters and therelationships, find otherways for “temptation”and “retribution” to showthemselves.
And you’d probablytrim a lot of words out ofit, especially if the novelswithin the novel are asweak as the lines thescreenwriters have Quaid narrate, thesituations Cooper mustact out and the script that only the old pro Irons can give the spark oflife.
‘The Words’ plays as a bit too wordy to workBY RENE RODRIGUEZTHE MIAMI HERALD
