BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

Who says you can’t teach an old dog newtricks? HerrinFesta Italiana has becomea staple of Southern Illinois through the

years, but organizers haven’t fallen into thetrap of complacency. Each year, there’s aconcerted effort to improve the event,continuing its tradition and reputation in theregion.

“It’s always evolving,” said Jim Gentile,HerrinFesta executive director. “We’re alwaystweaking it and making it better.”

This year, the changes have involved moremoney in the budget, more work by the

hat has allowed fores was the shift from aonline ticket printing.

Allowing customers to order and print theirtickets from the comfort of their own homeshas led to record ticket pre-sales.

Gentile credited the volunteer service fromcountless individuals with the success of thesenew initiatives.

“We go a little crazy sometimes when you welove what we do,” he said.

The “go-big-or-go-home” attitude can beseen in this year’s music lineup, as well.Country music artist Justin Moore, who willperform Sunday, May 26, is the most expensivecountry artist ever booked for the festival.Rock legends The Guess Who also represent asignificant investment, and one of personalinterest for Gentile.

“When I had a little less gray hair, they weremy band,” he said. “And Now I can say they’recoming to Herrin.”

Rounding out the lineup are Memorial Dayheadliner Florida Georgia Line, who had songsin the No. 1 and 5 slots on the Billboard chartslast week, and Papa Roach, who Gentile saidfestival organizers have been trying to snag forfour years.

“We’ve put more money into production,entertainment and marketing,” Gentile said.“We’ve raised the bar, and it’s working.”

Gentile said HerrinFesta is a greatintroduction to Southern Illinois for outsiders.Through the various annual events, the foodand the music, they get to experience a slice of

Southern hospitality and the beauty of theregion and its people.

“If we get a chance, we’ll make a goodimpression,” Gentile said.

The biggest question mark surrounding thefestival, which runs from Monday, May 20,through Monday, May 27, is the weather. Rainisn’t the only enemy at play, either, as lastyear’s temperatures in the low-to-mid 90skept people at bay and locked away inside airconditioned homes.

“You can hope and pray and plan all youwant, but it depends on the weather,” Gentilesaid. “Hot weather can be just as hard as rain.”

The Guess Who at HerrinFesta10 p.m. Friday, May 24;opening acts Rich Fabec at7 and Cache River at 8:15;$18 at the gate.

Many of the greatestsongs ever writtenwere not planned. An

idea simply pops into asongwriter’s head, thenotion quickly getscultivated and wordsmagically start to flowfrom an unexplainable

thought process.The biggest hit in the

repertoire of super groupThe Guess Who came outof nowhere. After anexhausting tour of theUnited States, the bandwas back in their Canadianhomeland playing at acurling ring.

Lead guitarist RandyBachman starting playingsome funky riffs at thestart of the second set inan effort to fire up thecrowd, then lead singerBurton Cummings steppedto the microphone andstarted pulling words fromthin air, his feelingsinspired by the rock-startreatment the bandreceived on a recent tourthrough Detroit, New Yorkand Chicago.

The group was alreadyon the fast track tostardom with hits like“These Eyes” and “NoTime,” but when themembers of the bandcollectively put thefinishing touches on“American Woman,” itwould become one of thecornerstone songs of theclassic rock era, and itinstantly propelled themto superstar status duringthe summer of 1970 as thetune topped the Billboardsingles chart for animpressive three weeks.

The Guess Who will bein concert at 10 p.m. onMay 24 at HerrinFestaItaliana. Opening actsinclude Rich Fabec at 7 p.m. and Cache River at8:15 p.m. Tickets are $18

and will be available at thegate.

One of the most popularmusic festivals in theMidwest since 1991, otherheadliners at HerrinFestathis year will includeHairbangers Ball on May23, Papa Roach on May 25,Justin Moore on May 26and Florida Georgia Likeon May 27.

The Guess Who releaseda total of 24 singles andhad additional hits like:“Clap for the Wolfman,”“Hand Me Down World”and “Share the Land.”

Drummer GarryPeterson, a foundingmember of the group, says

the current membership ofthe band is highly capableof reeling off the group’sgreatest hits and infusingnew life into live showswith high quality originalmaterial.

“You are going to see anexcellent version of thesongs and hear exactlyhow they should sound,”Peterson says. “We’recoming at a newgeneration of fans who areseeing how the band canexecute with enthusiasm.”

With origins dating backto 1958 as Al and theSilvertones, the bandsteadily built a fan base inCanada operating undernames like Chad Allan andthe Expressions, TheReflections and TheSilvertones. After

recording “A Tribute ToBuddy Holly” in the mid-1960s, promoters tried todrum up support for thesingle by asking listenersto “guess who” wassinging.

Though unplanned, themoniker stuck and thegroup became The GuessWho.

Fame caused manypersonnel changesthrough the years.Cummings would quit thegroup and start a solocareer. Bachmann wouldbranch off to form popularBachmann-TurnerOverdrive.

Several originalmembers joined forces toperform for the Pan AmGames in Winnipeg in1999.

including Bachmann andCummings, stayedtogether a few years andheadlined a major eventwith the Rolling Stonesand AC/DC in 2000.

Currently, Peterson andbass guitarist Jim Kale arethe only original membersin the band. A majority oflead vocals is provided byvibrant stylist Derek Sharp.

Sharp joined The GuessWho as new lead vocalist in2009.

He replaced Carl Dixon,who had a near fatal caraccident in Australia theprevious year.

At 48, Sharp isn’t arookie replacement tossedinto an unfamiliar role.Probably the most valuablefree agent on the Canadianrock ‘n’ roll market, he is animpressive singer, anaccomplished guitarist anda veteran front man —three priceless tools inmusic’s major leagues.

A Toronto resident,Sharp has been musicaldirector for Juno Awardwinning songstress SassJordan for 25 years. He hasalso toured with Rainbow,Deep Purple, Santana,Alannah Myles and the lateJeff Healy.

Honored for a body ofwork that includes 13 Top40 tunes from 1965-74, the

band was placed in theCanadian Music Hall ofFame in 1987.

The concert will offerfans three distinctivesounds from the threedifferent bands.

Fabec has been a drivingforce on the local musicscene for more than adecade.

“It is a great honor andprivilege to get to open theshow for a legendary bandlike The Guess Who,” Fabecsays. “Opportunities likethis don’t come around toooften.”

Fabec plays a wideassortment of blues-tingedmaterial. The one constantis his favorite guitar, a redhollow body 335 Hamer.

“It’s special,” Fabec saysof the instrument. “I have a

lot of guitars that cost a lotmore money, but this one isspecial. It was a father’sday present and has takenits place as my No. 1beater.”

Cache River has its ownguitar virtuoso, long-timearea picker Steve Jones,who dates back to the lateBilly Cole Reed and hasbeen an instrumental cogin numerous area bandsover the past 20 years.Jones is equallycomfortable picking outoutlaw country andsouthern rock, which isexactly the strong suite ofCache River.

Star Trek into Darkness****Rated PG-13 for violence,language. Stars Chris Pine,Zachary Quinto, ZoeSaldana, Karl Urban, AliceEve, Simon Pegg, BenedictCumberbatch, John Cho,Anton Yelchin; directed byJ.J. Abrams; playing now atIllinois Centre 8 in Marionand ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale.

BY RICK BENTLEYMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

Director J.J. Abramsproved with 2009’s “StarTrek” that it is OK toboldly go where others hadgone before, as long as thejourney is exciting,original, entertaining andrespectful to legions ofloyal fans. His film, whichfound the balance betweenreprising and reimagining,was a direct hit.

In his second voyage onthe Starship Enterprise,Abrams has perfected thatapproach. “Star Trek IntoDarkness” is the best worksince Gene Roddenberrybrought the franchise tolife in the 1960s.

Abrams shows a deepand passionate loyalty forall of the incarnations of“Star Trek,” while alsobringing a fresh approachthat makes the familiarseem all the morefabulous.

“Star Trek IntoDarkness” has theEnterprise crew taking ona threat that has the powerto wipe out StarfleetCommand. It’s up to theimpulsive Capt. JamesKirk (Chis Pine) to lead amission to stop the threat.It’s a mission that meansgoing against almost everyregulation in the Starfleetmanual.

The warp power of thefilm comes from Pine, whohas managed to channelthe cockiness and swaggerthat William Shatner usedto breathe life into thecharacter a half centuryago without going so far asto make Kirk a caricature.

As with the originalseries, Kirk’s brashnesshas a damper in Mr. Spock(Zachary Quinto). It wouldhave been easy for Quintoto play Spock’s lack ofemotion in a robotic,wooden manner. Theoriginal Spock, as a halfhuman and half Vulcan,could control hisemotions. This Spock is afew percent more human,which allows for justenough emotion to giveQuinto some additionalroom to play.

The entire cast is just asreverent and original whenit comes to taking over thefamiliar characters. That’swhy scenes without Kirkor Spock resonate with thesame energy.

Action films live or dieby their villain. And “StarTrek Into Darkness” getsplenty of life fromBenedict Cumberbatch asthe mysterious JohnHarrison. He has the kindof larger-than-lifepresence to play theforeboding foe Kirk needs.There’s a lot more to thecharacter, but like so much

of the film, there are somethings that are bestdiscovered during thevoyage.

What happens betweenKirk and Harrison isdelivered at a breath-taking pace. The moviestarts at warp speed andnever slows until thehaunting refrains of theoriginal theme song heraldthe arrival of the closingcredits.

The film moves soquickly, it’s hard to pick upthe many references topast “Star Trek” offerings.Despite all of these hidden

gems, the script byRoberto Orci, AlexKurtzman and DamonLindelof can be just aseasily enjoyed by those notfamiliar with thefranchise. It’s a solidsummer movie thrill ridefor anyone willing to buy aticket.

Abrams showed with hisoriginal foray into the“Star Trek” world that he

had the vision and creativemight to relaunch thefranchise.

With this second turn at the helm, he’s takenthat groundwork andlaunched it into a wholenew galaxy of fun andentertainment.

As long as Abrams is incharge, the new “StarTrek” movies will live longand prosper.

STUDIO‘Star Trek into Darkness’ is playing in Marion and Carbondale.



Actors’ friendship spills off the bridge into real lifeBY REBECCA KEEGANLOS ANGELES TIMES

“Star Trek” has alwaysbeen about more than aspaceship crew hurtlingthrough the cosmos — overthe decades, the sci-fiseries in all its forms hastackled earthly issues suchas race, gender and theVietnam War.

When it comes to shininga spotlight oncontemporary conflicts,the film and televisionfranchise’s newest entry,the movie “Star Trek IntoDarkness,” is no exception.

Directed by J.J. Abramsand written by Alex

Kurtzman, Damon Lindelofand Roberto Orci, “IntoDarkness,” which opensThursday, sees the returnof Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine),Mr. Spock (ZacharyQuinto) and the rest of theUSS Enterprise crew, asthey face a new villain,John Harrison (BenedictCumberbatch).

As with so much in thefictional worlds Abramscreates (“Lost,” “Super 8”),many details around themovie have been cloaked inmystery, including the trueidentity of Cumberbatch’scharacter. But on a breezyafternoon in March, on theroof of a Hollywood photo

studio, Pine and Quintoshared insight into JohnHarrison — and the movie’spresent-day parallels.

“This film is aboutearthbound terror,” saidPine, speaking weeksbefore the real-lifebombing at the BostonMarathon. “It’s aboutterrorism, about issues weas human beings in 2013deal with every day, aboutthe exploitation of fear totake advantage of apopulation, about physicalviolence and destructionbut also psychologicalmanipulation. JohnHarrison is a terrorist in themold of those we’ve

become accustomed to inthis day and age.”

Much of the humanity inAbrams’ 2009 “Star Trek”origins movie, which wasthe 11th film in thefranchise, came from therivalry and ultimately thefriendship that developedbetween reckless youngKirk and analytical youngSpock.

The new film fromParamount Pictures is richwith action — Kirk and Dr.McCoy (Karl Urban) racethrough fields of scarletfoliage, a Starfleet shiprises from the ocean, Spockdescends into an eruptingvolcano.

MCTChris Pine and Zachary Quinto’s met before they were cast in‘Star Trek,’ at an event writer-producer Norman Lear organizedto showcase his copy of the Declaration of Independence.
