SHOWCASE IOWA CENTRAL SPRING will be hitting the stage this month

The annual year-end performance featuring Iowa Central’s vocal and instrumental ensembles will take place over two days, beginning April 18 at 7 p.m. The April 18 concert will feature the Iowa Central Bands.

The Jazz Band will be performing “Groove Merchant,” “It Had to be You,” “Queen Bee,” “Moanin’,” and “The Chicken.”

The Concert band will feature “Funiculi – Funicula,” “Make Our Garden Grow,” “Alkali Ike Rag,” a Nickelodeon Melodrama selection from the silent film era, and “Processional March.” The Iowa Central Percussion Ensemble will also be featured in the instrumental performance.

The vocal performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. On Saturday, April 22 featuring the Encore Singers, Triton Singers Concert Choir and Pop Voices.

The Encore Singers will open the concert, which is a soundtrack of films, musicals, television, sports and video games, with the Jonas Brothers’ song “Remember This,” the 2020-2021 NBC Summer Olympics Theme. The Triton Singers will perform a rendition of Elton John’s “Circle of Life” from “The Lion King” and Christopher Tin’s “Sogno di Volare” from the video game Civilization VI.

“’Sogno di Volalre’ uses lyrics to bring Leonardo DaVinci’s Dream of Flight to life,” said Will Lopes, Director of Vocal Music at Iowa Central.

The Vocal Jazz performance will include “Make Them Hear You” from the Broadway Musical “Ragtime,” and Pop Voices will showcase and arrangement of “All For Us,” from the HBO Television Series “Euphoria.

“There’s a lot to the music in this concert,” said sophomore Jeremiah Brown. “You’ll get music from a lot of different mediums from movies, games, Broadway and radio.”

The showcase will also include vocal soloists and small ensembles and a final performance by this years’ sophomores.

All vocal and instrumental Showcase performances will take place in the Auditorium of the Bioscience and Health Sciences Building on the Iowa Central Campus. Admission is free.

“This concert is unique because it is the very first spring concert we have performed in the BHS venue,” said Lopes. “We’ve had the challenge this year without Decker Auditorium to work with what we have; but still have brought quality performances with the holiday concert and musicals there. In the same way, we will continue to bring excellence to the spring production in the space we have.”

This concert is unique because it is the very first spring concert we have performed in the BHS venue

Webster City Community Theatre Presents

Shining These Lives

Webster City Community Theatre’s audiences have already enjoyed the classic comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace,” a holiday show “One Christmas Eve at Evergreen Mall,” and a youth production of Broadway’s “Shrek” this season.

The next WCCT offering is “These Shining Lives,” a drama by Melanie Marnich. Show dates are April 13, 14 & 15 at 7 pm and April 16 at 2 pm. All tickets are $12 and go on sale April 8.

Stephanie Hill is directing, assisted by Sally Evans. Cast members include:

Company Doctor/Leonard Grossman: Sam Ose

Dr. Rowntree/Reporter: Al Yungclas

Radio Announcer: Erik Holt

The drama is based on true events as told in the book “The Radium Girls” by Kate Moore. The play represents the lives of four young women who worked at the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Illinois, from 1922-1938. It was an era when there were few good-paying jobs for women. They eagerly spent their days painting watch dials with luminescent paint. The radium in the paint made dials glow in the dark, but endangered their health and lives. When the company was unconcerned about the health of their workers, the courageous women took them to court. The lawsuit eventually brought about much-needed changes to industrial working conditions.

The following volunteers are working behind-thescenes:

Director:Stephanie Hill

Assistant Director: Sally Evans

OUR MUSIC AT THE PLAMOR WAS JUST MARVELOUS

well on drums and Eske on keyboards, bass and trumpet. Soon, Barry Ufkin and Steve Livingston, both from Canby, MN joined the group. Livingston played lead guitar and trombone and Ufkin played bass guitar, keyboards and trombone. All the kids were talented singers. The band was now formed.

They took their name from Schreier’s dad’s car, the Mercury Marauder. Early they booked themselves and became a real hit at the high schools because of their horns, their music, the stage suits and the show, it was all there.

With Anthony’s bookings, they were now traveling Minnesota, Iowa, North & South Dakota, Wisconsin, and parts of Northern Illinois. They would visit our Plamor Ballroom three times between 1967-1968. They were top draws wherever they went. The Marauders were one of the most booked groups at ballrooms across the Midwest. They always opened each show with Bobby Blue Bland’s, “Turn On Your Love Light.” It became their trademark.

In the Spring of 1967, they traveled South to Okoboji, Iowa to record again at Milford, Iowa’s IGL Studios. The results, was the release of “634-5789” on the highly collectible “Roof Garden (Ballroom) Jamboree” LP on IGL Records. They did an amazing version of this Wilson Pickett classic. Their appearance at Okoboji was a big reason why they were booked into Ft Dodge.

Over the years the band performed with the likes of: Billy Joe Royal, Lou Christie, the Turtles, the Grassroots, Bobby Goldsboro, Leslie Gore, the McCoys, Eric Burden & The Animals, Herman’s Hermits and more. Impressive!

FANTASTIC....FABULOUS....SENSATIONAL...... ROARIN’......GIGANTIC.......PULSATING..... GROOVY.....HIP.... HOT.... FINEST....MARVELOUS.

All those names and even more were added to our favorite band’s names of the 60’s and 70’s. The added adjectives were use to pump up the publicity for the bands. This month the adjective Marvelous will carry this column through to the very end and that name brings us to one of Minnesota’s best and they were so enjoyed in Fort Dodge, the Marvelous Marauders.

One of my favorite bands of the mid ‘60’s was Marshall, Minnesota’s the Marvelous Marauders. The Marauders always presented themselves with such class. From how they dressed to how they arrived for the show to their simply marvelous and sizzling R&B music that they served up. Let’s look back at their story.

The band got its start in Marshall, MN in 1962 when teen guitarist and bass player, Dick Schreier decided to start a band. He asked two high school buddies to help him get it going, but it would not be long before those two had left the band. Jerry Caldwell and Jim Eske from Russell, MN then joined the group. Cald-

In 1965 the group wanted to record a record so they could hit the “next level” and begin playing more ballrooms. Their record was a 45 release for Studio City Records of Minneapolis, MN, owned by recording label mogul, George Garrett. The record was an original that Schreier wrote, “She Threw My Love Away” backed by “Caliente” written for the group by Jim Eske. The recording package would cost the band $400.

Because of the record, they were noticed by David Anthony of David Anthony Productions, one of Minnesota’s biggest book ing agencies. Now the bigger dates started to come. Anthony cosigned a note for the Marauders and they got a beautiful band bus with the top half of the bus painted “The Soul Stirring Sounds” and the bottom half painted “The Marvelous Marauders.”

Soon they were endorsed by Minneapolis’s B Sharp Music. B Sharp’s logo was soon painted on the bus. All the parties involved thought they had found Minnesota’s answer to the Fabulous Flip pers. Soon the Marauders would add Randy Geise from Pipe stone, Minnesota’s the Pulsating Pilgrims on guitar and vocals, Roger Branson on trumpet and saxophone and Dick Larson from Marshall, MN on trumpet, saxophone, and vocals. The band was becoming a real music and show powerhouse!

The group would now start to lose various members to military service, college and marriage. The band members started to change. When Dick Schreier left the band in 1967, that really got the band members attention, as Schreier started the band. After he left, they would re-locate to Minneapolis and at this time added Thaddeus Thombs as their new lead singer. Sadly, the band broke up in March of 1968.

The group was inducted into the Minnesota Rock & Country Hall of Fame in 2005. This was the last time they all got together and played live. These kids were truly Marvelous.

John Wick moviespot

By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

GETS EVEN MORE STYLISH IN FOURTH EPISODE

somehow handle the blind martial arts master Caine, played by Donnie Yen, bringing humor and verve to a fighter who is tasked with either slaying his one-time friend or have his daughter killed.

There’s also Killa, a jumbo-sized card shark played by martial arts star Scott Adkins, and The Tracker, a very talented bounty hunter played by Shamier Anderson. Don’t forget a swarm of Paris-based amateur bounty-hunters and armored ninjas who seem as plentiful as the city’s baguettes.

All the touches you expect from a Wick flick are here — a cool dog, hand-to-hand combat amid glass display cases, candles and Christian iconography, galloping horses, the screech of metal swords and a new way to hurt someone, in this case, a single playing card. We visit Germany, Japan and end in France, even going to a disused subway platform.

Returning director Chad Stahelski loves combining neon with gloom and now has the budget to rent out space in the Louvre. Of the 14 action sequences — yes, 14 — a few are truly mind-blowing, like a fight in the middle of the traffic circle around the Arc de Triomphe and a drone capturing a complicated set piece in a building involving what is being called a dragon’s breath shotgun. Repeating that last bit: dragon’s breath shotgun.

John Wick. The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre — what better way to refresh your soul, even as you kick everyone else’s bucket?

The un-retired assassin does indeed dive into the City of Lights in the inventive and thrilling “John Wick: Chapter 4” a sequel which elevates and expands the franchise. The fourth installment is more stylish, more elegant and more bonkers — kind of like Paris itself.

When we last saw Wick, he was half dead in the gutter after being shot and tumbling several stories off the Hotel Continental in New York. He was on the blacklist with a $14 million price on his head. (Inflation has even hit this franchise: The bounty swells to $40 million by the end of part four.)

Wick, as always played with monosyllabic and brooding intensity by Keanu Reeves, leaves his customary trail of death, but there’s a shift here. So often the prey in the

2.5 out of 4 stars

previous movies, Wick is on the offense in the fourth, taking his demands directly to The High Table, the group of shadowy crime lords that keep order.

This time, the Table’s sadistic frontman is a dandy called the Marquis, played with coiled menace by Bill Skarsgård, who spouts things like: “Second chances are the refuge of men who fail.” But he’s a secret coward, so feel free to boo loudly.

The nine-fingered Wick wants to end his nightmare, naturally, by killing everyone. His too-cool frenemy, Ian McShane’s Winston, challenges him to think differently: “Have you learned nothing?” he asks the man who, to be honest, he shot in the last movie. “You’ll run out of bullets before they run out of heads.”

Returning writer Shay Hatten, along with co-writer Michael Finch, have come up with a possible solution for Wick: Win an old-fashioned duel with the Marquis. Win and be free, lose and be buried.

Not so fast, of course. Along the way, Wick must

Walt Disney

If there was a bit of a slog through would-be assassins in “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum” — you know, shoot, stab, repeat — there is none here. One sequence on a set of outdoor stairs in Paris is almost riotously funny as knives and guns blast away, while the filmmakers add water and fire to a nightclub rave scene that puts clueless dancers next to axe-throwing murderers.

A shout-out to costume designer Paco Delgado, who has outfitted the baddie gunmen in light-colored three-piece suits and combat boots, and the executive baddies in fitted elegance with extravagant cravat-style ties. One of the film’s saddest parts is saying goodbye to Lance Reddick, who played Continental Hotel concierge Charon and died on the eve of the movie’s debut.

How does this all end? Actually, on something of a deflating note. Earlier in the film, Wick’s Japan-based friend Shimazu — played awesomely by Hiroyuki Sanada — had asked a question that eternally hangs over this franchise: “Have you given any thought to how this ends?”

This chapter ends in death, of course. But that’s also how it lives.

What is the most enjoyable aspect of photography for

On the technical side, I love the darkroom. I’ve yet to tire of seeing an image emerge from a blank sheet of paper in a tray of developer. It’s close to magic. For my ongoing Iowa Blues project, I enjoy it’s an overcast day with some sort of event going on where there’s a lot of people doing odd things for 1/500th of a second at a time that I can capture in my favorite light.

You can have dinner with one person….famous or not….alive or not….Who do you choose and why?

My grandmother, Anna. I’d love to be able to tell her about all the adventures I’ve had in life as a working journalist and artists. Then show her some pictures. She died when I was 8 and I’ve since heard from family members she knew a few rather raunchy jokes. I’d love to hear them.

What do you like most about the art and culture scene in our area?

what ways?

Yes. I grew up in a home where exploring things, like art, was encouraged and given lots of time. There were always plenty of materials, books and time to create. I still have a set of water colors my mom painted. She never pursued it thought. They’re very good! When I took up photography, there was a steady supply of film and paper provided.

At what point did you become interested in photography?

The photography bug bit when I was about 14. I haven’t really sought out a cure for it since then, assuming there is one.

What challenges you as an artist?

The biggest challenge is staying active. It’s far too easy to give in to other activities that require nothing more than gluing your eyeballs to a screen.

As a photographer, my first teacher, T. Leo Lauyer still has an influence. Other photographers include Mary Ellen Mark, Robert Frank, W. Eugene Smith, David Stock, Henri Cartier Bresson and Robert Mapplethorpe.

The sheer volume of talent here. It’s not just gifted photographers. There are lots of talented individuals that paint, draw, sculpt and make some really great music. I’m also a big fan of the Blanden Art Museum. Director, Eric Anderson features many Fort Dodge area and Iowa artists.

Don’t Pass Up RAGBRAI in Amana

Amana, Iowa – The Amana Colonies are ready to treat 2023 RAGBRAI riders to exceptional small-town hospitality.

RAGBRAI has announced the full route and the Amana Colonies is one of the pass-through communities scheduled for July 28th. The seven villages offer riders and the public many places to stop. Howevery, most activities, including music and refreshments, will be held in the heart of the main village of Amana between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

RAGBRAI, once humble ride through the charming small towns of Iowa, has grown to an international event attracting thousands of riders. This year, the authentic small-town experience hasn’t been lost. The Amana Colonies is one of the passthrough communities on Friday, July 28th, and they are prepared to make their stop memorable.

“We’re thrilled to host RAGBRAI riders with the Amana Colonies hospitality people have come to know over generations,” said Amana Colonies Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Stacey Colledge. “We welcome thousands of visitors each year who are looking for a different experience, a different story. What’s a few thousand more?” she jokes.

The main village of Amana will refresh riders with music, food, and of course, wine and beer. Festivities begin at 10:30 a.m. and carry on until 3 p.m. Bike parking, restrooms, and rest areas will be available at the Market Barn, home to the annual Amana Colonies Wurst Festival. A beer garden with music and food will be set up at the Festhalle barn where the Amana Colonies’ Oktoberfest is held each year. The beer garden and vendors throughout the seven villages are open to the public, whether they are riding or not. For safety concerns, automobile traffic will be redirected through Amana until after the riders are ushered onto their next destination.

“We encourage everyone to come enjoy themselves and show their support of the riders.” Said Colledge. More information can be had by calling the Amana Colonies Visitor Center at 319-622-7622.

Emma Barwin

Age: 17 • Grade/School: Saint Edmond Catholic High School • Hometown: Fort Dodge, Iowa

What is the most rewarding part of the artistic process?

The most rewarding part is stepping back to look at the final piece. I love seeing my hard work pay off.

Do you plan to use your artistic schools after high school? If so, in what ways?

Yes, I plan on going to school for art and am aiming to get my masters. I would love to freelance for people as well and have dreams of doing art shows in a gallery someday.

Who inspires you and why?

Someone who inspires me is the artist Keith Haring. While he was alive he made political statements and battled prejudice through his art. He impacted many people’s lives and I love seeing his work.

Walk us through a typical day in the life of Emma Barwin.

drawing pencil portraits and have taken ceramics classes.

How long have you been interested in art?

I have been interested in art since I was little. I always loved doodling and I remember flipping over coloring pages to trace the on the back. Art has always just been something I do, like walking or breathing.

What do you most enjoy about creating art?

I most enjoy the focus. I can’t take my eyes off the paper when I’m painting thin lines or trying to get things just right.

Do you come from an artistic family?

Nobody in my family is very involved in the fine arts but I would say my mom is pretty crafty. Even though none of the members of my family are super artistic, they have always supported me.

What is the most difficult, or challenging, part for you when creating a new piece?

The most difficult or challenging part for me when creating a new piece is blank page anxiety. I feel just a little nervous right before my pencil marks the paper, I am always able to get over this though.

A typical day in my life stars with waking up and checking my phone. I usually get up around 6 and try to do yoga before I start my day. I then pack up my stuff and drive to school. When I get to school I occasionally have to drop a project off in the art room if I took it home to work. I have my morning classes and then Independent Art Study fourth period, this is where I create a lot of my pieces. When school is over I go home and get ready for work or tennis practice. I like days where I have free time because I can draw and read. After all of my activities I eat dinner with my family and go to bed.

What are your plans after high school?

I plan on studying art in college and making money through my work as an adult.

KING BAND INDOOR CONCERT APRIL 23rd

The third and final indoor concert for the 2023 winter season by the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge will be held on Sunday afternoon, April 23, beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the Fort Dodge Middle School Auditorium located at 800 North 32nd Street in Fort Dodge IA. There is no admission charge, since these concerts are provided by the City of Fort Dodge for everyone’s enjoyment. Conductor Jerrold P. Jimmerson has once again planned a varied and exciting program of band music. Dan Cassady serves as the Assistant Conductor of the band, and Paul Bloomquist will be the band’s announcer.

This April concert is the Band’s annual scholarship event, with the presentation of the Karl L. King scholarships. Several talented students will audition during the day, and the winners will be announced during the afternoon concert. Winners will be recognized with either $500 scholarships to Iowa Central Community College or a $1,000 scholarship to any 4-year Iowa college or university. Providing the funds for these monetary awards is the Karl L. King

Memorial Education Foundation, which “exists to provide band instrument scholarships for students majoring in music”. All persons who audition will be invited to join in playing one selection with the Band during the concert, and the major scholarship recipient will perform their award-winning solo.

Compositions by the band’s namesake, Karl L. King, on this hour-long concert will include his 1925 march, “True Blue”, and an exciting circus galop titled “Walsenburg”, published in 1915 while Karl King was in his second season as conductor of the band traveling with the SellsFloto Circus/Buffalo Bill Wild West Shows.

The afternoon’s classical offerings will include Rimsky-Korsakov’s cortege, “Procession of Nobles” from his Opera-Ballet “MLADA”, a “Fantasy on an African-American Spiritual”, based on the hymn tune, “My Lord! What a Morning” by Harry T. Burleigh, and a contemporary selection by Alfred Reed titled “A Jubilant Overture”, reflecting the joy of spring and the exuberance of youth.

Lighter, popular selections on the concert will

include “Beguine for Band” by Glenn Osser, “Pavanne”, by Morton Gould, and “Big Band Signatures”, arranged by John Higgins. This medley of well-known songs from the Big Band era includes the music of Benny Goodman, Les Brown, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller. Closing the concert program will be John Philip Sousa’s march, “The Corcoran Cadets”.

The concert will conclude in the traditional way with the playing of our National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner”. In case of inclement weather (even though it will be on April 23rd), the concert may be cancelled. Any announcement will be made on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/karlkingband/, or on the band’s website at www.karlking.us.

Looking ahead, the next performance by the band will be at the traditional Memorial Day ceremonies on Monday morning, May 29th, at Veteran’s Memorial Park. The summer series of concerts will again be held on eight consecutive Sunday evenings during June and July, beginning on June 4th and lasting through July 23rd at the Karl L. King Band Shell in Oleson Park.
