ANWEN PARROTT
In general, I pay little attention to celebrity gossip and about 90 percent of sporting events finish before I even realize they were happening. It is therefore a rare occurrence indeed when a piece of celebrity sports gossip catches my attention and elicits a strong response, but that happened this week during the Serena Williams media storm. With her most recent Wimbledon victory, Williams solidified a spot as one of the greatest athletes of all time. This achievement, however, was overshadowed by the attention diverted to her body by everyone from douchey Twitter users to reputable publications such as The New York Times. Heated and Buzzfeed-ified discussion has already been held on this subject but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m unsatisfied; a lot was left unsaid, which is why I find myself addressing this tired topic here. Serena Williams has excelled in a sport that is commonly deemed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;white manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gameâ&#x20AC;? - and she has done so while being repeatedly and rudely reminded of this fact. Williams has lost games undeservingly due to the botched calls of racist line judges; she has witnessed her competitors (in the most controversial instance, Caroline Wozniacki) stuff towels down the front of their shirts and back of their pants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;lightheartedlyâ&#x20AC;? impersonate her. Harsh comments and actions regarding her appearance and her identity as an African-American woman have been hurled at her from all angles.Williams has been made constantly aware that she looks different, is different, than the athletes she is paired against. Time and time again, she has been othered by the media. To look at this most recent incident as an isolated one is foolish, for Williams exists in a field that, for two decades, has been more inclined to mock and objectify her appearance - and to reduce her identity as a Black woman to a handful of harmful stereotypes - than to acknowledge her talent. This week, dozens of news outlets and noteworthy individuals have jumped to Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense by out shaming those who dared to body-shame one of the most dominant athletes ever (which was cool). However, there is more at play here than a few mean-spirited words about the size of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs and as easy as it would be to boil this debacle down to that alone, you simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

MOVIE REVIEW - THE WOLFPACK
7KH FRPSHOOLQJ VXEMHFWV RI 7KH :ROISDFN EDUHO\ PDQDJH WR FDUU\ LW RYHU WKH ILQLVK OLQH JOSH PETERSON
WHAT KIND
of person do you think you’d be if your perception of proper human communication came only from the works of Quentin Tarantino? Would that be better or worse than if it was Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy? Or, dear lord, what if Tim Burton was the only person educating you on the idiosyncrasies of being a human? You can’t even picture it, right? You’d be living in some weird alternate reality where Helena Bonham Carter is "gawd" and Johnny Depp is still a respected actor (or, at the very least, still made people buy tickets). No matter what, we can all agree that a situation like that is unfathomable, and that any kid raised in such a manner might as well have been raised Mowgli-style in the jungle. What’s craziest about The Wolfpack, then, has to be how well adjusted the group of siblings is despite the fact that have been almost entirely isolated from reality for their entire lives. The six brothers and their sister existed almost exclusively within an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 14 years, rarely venturing outside
the confines of the rooms they had grown up in. This was the choice of their father – an alcoholic whose egotistical delusions had convinced him that he was better than the rest of the world and that his children shouldn’t be exposed to the evils that, in his mind, New York contained around every corner. Confined to the apartment, the brothers took refuge in the huge collection of movies that their father kept in their home. With almost no interaction with the outside world for most of their lives, the brothers' mannerisms and ideas about the world come from the films that they love so dearly. It’s equal parts unnerving and inspiring to watch these boys go about their lives. On one hand, they are remarkably normal, communicating with intelligence and able to analytically discuss their situation and upbringing. They spend a huge part of their lives creating their own versions of the movies they love, painstakingly rewinding DVDs so they can write down every line of dialogue and expertly constructing their own props out of cardboard and yoga mats. The reenactments are a window
into a teenage fantasy that any film obsessive has had themselves: the desire to live within the worlds they love most. The Wolfpack serves wonderfully as the flip side of the Sundance coin to Me and Earl and the Dying Girl - while the characters in the 2015 Dramatic Grand Jury Prize winner create funny and ridiculous films based on the movies they love as means to escape from reality, for the subjects of the 2015 Documentary winner, the films are their reality. It’s surreal to see these boys finally venture out into the world wearing matching black suits and sunglasses as if they just stepped off of the set of Reservoir Dogs. They are aware of the oddness of their condition, but what they perceive as normalcy will always be somewhat tainted by their unique, but fascinating, understanding of culture. The unfortunate thing is that these amazing subjects have their story told in such incomplete and uninteresting fashion by director Crystal Moselle. After we understand how the siblings were raised, the obvious first question is, “How is there a movie about them?” Moselle never deems it
necessary to show how she discovered the family despite their reclusive nature. More than that, as the boys begin to gain a sense of independence and venture out into the world, Moselle fails to capture that transition in a comprehensible manner. It feels as though one minute the idea of the eldest boy going out into New York on his own for 30 minutes is a mental lapse of total lunacy, and then the next minute he is moving out of the apartment into his own place and creating his own artsy short film that serves as the climax for a story that really put in no emotional effort to build to that point. Worst of all, the documentary drags due to this lack of storytelling, its only saving grace being the compelling scenes of the brothers acting out the films they love. Thankfully the subjects of the film are as likeable as they are interesting which manages to carry the documentary through its 80 long minutes, but it is impossible not to imagine how much better The Wolfpack might have been in the hands of a more competent director.

THE
Larry Kanfer Gallery, located at 2503 South Neil St., Champaign, is holding its annual Off the Wall Sale from Thursday to Sunday, July 16-19. Artwork from all collections will be on sale and visitors will be able to view the new Vintage photography collection and the upcoming 2016 calendar. A long-time resident of Champaign and an Illinois alum, Kanfer established the gallery in 1979 and continues to share a deep love for photography, Midwestern landscapes and the local community. »buzz: Can you tell us more about the Off the Wall sale? What can people expect to find there? »Larry Kanfer: We just do it once a year, and it includes really everything that’s in the gallery. I’ve got my originals on the walls, and we have four rooms—well, the whole building is my work. But we have four different galleries. I’ve been doing U of I photographs since I graduated, I’d like to think I have sort of an inside viewpoint of the university. I used to live over in the Six Pack and, just by cutting over to Altgeld at 8 in the morning, you kind of look at things… You get to know pretty intimately the nuances of campus and the look, and there’s certain times of year when the light’s a certain way…
»buzz: What did you study at Illinois? »LK: I got my degree in architecture in ‘78… Well, actually, I started my portrait business while I was in school, and I went door-to-door, and it just kept building. By the time I graduated, I decided to go into it full time and see if I could make a go of it. You know, my architecture [background] really helps with everything. The training is kind of like—it’s training both analytically and creatively, there’s both left and right sides of the brain. »buzz: Where have you most recently seen that architecture background put to use? »LK: In fact, I just did a book on Chicago, called Chicagoscapes. It’s through Illinois Press, so it should be in the bookstores, and we have it at the gallery. It was kind of fun, I tried to look at Chicago not from just one point of view, but I tried to look from a tourist’s point of view, from an occasional visitor and from someone that grew up in Chicago. The tourists, of course, would see the skyline. You come in and, let’s say you take the train, a tourist would really just look up at Sears Tower, maybe the Art Institute. An occasional visitor might know some of the different restaurants and places to go, you know, that’s another level down. Whereas someone that grew up there
would probably think of the alleys as where they played ball… or something like that! Chicagoscapes is my eighth book. I have three Midwest books, a University of Illinois book, a book of barns of Illinois, one on Long Island, New York… I have two more planned, actually. »buzz: What sorts of photography processes, techniques, or equipment do you prefer? »LK: I have always tried to push the limit on both materials and styles, and the challenge is kind of what keeps me going. Going back, I started doing digital before they really had digital cameras. I used Photoshop, then digital cameras came in, then there was digital printing and that completed the circle. I love the digital end of things. Right now, I’m kind of experimenting with what’s called face mounting. It’s taking the face of a photograph and adhering it to the back of an acrylic sheet so that it’s bonded, and the look is really fantastic. That’s really one of my pet projects. I’m printing on metal, printing on different substrates… I like the different processes. »buzz: What draws you to landscape photography? Or what subject do you enjoy photographing the most?
»LK: I’d say I like the challenge, more than anything else—the challenge of abstracting the essence of a place, really, or a feeling, and putting that in two dimensions. The challenge was when I first moved here, I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and… the challenge was seeing the beauty here. You walk out and it doesn’t look like there’s anything, it just looks flat. [laughs] Over the years I’ve talked with farmers and they love that, you know, they love their land. I began to really appreciate, I think, that beauty. For example, the storm fronts—the clouds are just fantastic, with the open, flat land… The soil’s so rich, and we do have these small variations in the landscape. Normally people think of beauty as tall, big variations in the landscape, like mountains. We sort of… people get excited about the small stuff here. Which I think is good! Have you ever driven out to Allerton? There’s a—I call it a big hill, it’s a moraine. It seems huge relative to what else is around. You have to take joy in what you have, is what I’m trying to say.

SUN STEREO’S
EP release show at Mike N Molly’s tonight is more than just a celebration of music. The Urbana funk band has set out to put on the biggest show of the summer with a night of good music, fire performances, live painting, a raffle and more - all while keeping alive the memory of a lost friend, Bart Tredway. “I became friends with Bart while working at Volition,” said vocalist Kelly McMorris. “He was a solid co-worker and friend, and a fantastic husband and father. He was an Eagle Scout who was absolutely nuts about Legos and Star Wars. He always pushed my dry wit to the desert.” In April, Tredway passed away at age 38 after a brief battle with cancer. McMorris and some friends decided to honor Tredway’s memory by planting a tree with a name plaque at a Champaign park. “I was starting to formulate ideas for this show at the time,” said McMorris, “and since the new EP is called "Give It All Away," I thought I’d offer
to donate all of the EP proceeds to the fund to help pay for it. The group and Bart’s wife Christina thought it was a great idea, and that was that.” The "Give It All Away" EP will be available for purchase at tonight’s show in a limited run of 100 copies, with all of the proceeds going to Tredway’s fund. McMorris said that the recording process for this EP was different from anything he had ever worked on. “With the help of Bill Demkov, Frank Horger and Kevin Bourassa, we tracked drums, bass, horns and a string ensemble, then took it back to my studio to sort it out and put it all together,” he said. Sun Stereo then sent the recordings to sound engineer Manny Sanchez, who has worked with artists like Umphrey’s McGee, Fall Out Boy and Rod Stewart. “Getting the opportunity to work with Manny was fantastic,” said McMorris. “It was somewhat of a leap of faith and kind of scary to send off tunes with countless hours invested in them to
a total stranger, but Manny is a sonic wizard, a true professional and incredibly down-to-earth.” To commemorate the EP’s release, McMorris worked with Isaac Arms to organize a show in the beer garden at Mike N Molly’s. Sun Stereo’s live performances have a reputation for being notoriously fun and high-energy, so it’s no surprise that their EP release show is taking things to the next level. On top of a performance from the band, Christine Janak will eat and spin fire throughout the night. The show will also feature the work of artists Alicia Post and Jason Mack. McMorris first met Post, who will be doing live paintings, and Mack, who will display his glassblowing work, at Summer Camp Music Festival a few years ago. “I thought this would be a great vehicle for them to get some well deserved exposure while also providing a different strain of entertainment for the show-goer,” he said. Both Post and Mack will be donating items for
a raffle, which will also include Sun Stereo CDs, t-shirts and more. As for what’s coming up in the future for Sun Stereo, the band recently welcomed new drummers Aaron Bouslog and Andy Wheelock to the fold and will soon head back into the studio to record an LP due out later this year, followed by extensive touring. Concertgoers will surely be able to see the band perform around C-U later this year, but tonight’s EP release show - described by McMorris as a “carnival on acid” - can’t be missed. “Every Sun Stereo show is a unique experience for the audience and for the band,” said McMorris. “We aren’t normal people. We eat funk and piss disco. We reflect the times. We celebrate. Join us.” Sun Stereo’s EP release show takes place tonight at Mike N Molly’s. Doors open at 8 p.m. $7 cover. Ages 19+.

throughout ChampaignUrbana is a treasure trove of parks, ponds and gardens. For a metropolitan area, there are a great variety of scenic retreats, full of native plants and outdoor areas of playgrounds and places to picnic. Here is a quick guide to a few sites to visit in Champaign-Urbana, especially enjoyable in the warm weather.
wildlife including deer, birds and even beavers.
.
is the Stone Arch Bridge, which was built around 1860 and was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1981. The bridge was originally used as a railroad connection, but it was rerouted in 1890. Helms Park includes part of the Second Street Detention Basin, which is a watershed for Boneyard Creek. Partly due to recent efforts in cleaning up Boneyard Creek, wildlife includes fish, ducks, geese, turtles and herons. Gabriella Peters, Champaign resident, frequently walks through Helms Park. “There are always geese and sometimes cranes. It’s nice when the baby geese are there and you see them waddling around. It’s really cute, but the mother geese are really protective. I like to sit and relax by the waterfall and watch them”.

Meadowbrook Park (Urbana) Formerly the McCullough family farm, Meadowbrook Park still maintains many of the farm features, including the corncrib, farmhouse and renovated dairy barn. Most importantly, volunteers have been working since 1977 to restore the natural prairie grass and native plants in Meadowbrook Park. Of the 130 acres comprising park grounds, 80 acres are recreated tallgrass prairie. The Freyfogle Overlook within the park provides a perfect vantage point to see the prairie from the highest location. Meadowbrook is also home to Urbana Park District’s largest playground, as well as an abundance of trails and gardens. There is even a community garden open from March to October where community members are welcome to plant. There are 3 miles of paved paths looping around the park, and 2 miles of unpaved path to take through the prairie. Maral Deyrmenjian, Champaign resident, enjoys the scenery walking through Meadowbrook Park in the summer. “I like that their statues are sort of strange and feminine, and there are nice alcoves to hide away and sit in. The fireflies are also super beautiful over the meadow areas”. Meadowbrook Park is also home to plenty of
University of Illinois Arboretum (Urbana) The University of Illinois Arboretum is located at the intersection of Florida and Lincoln Avenue in Urbana. It features an assortment of gardens, including the Welcome Garden, Hartley Garden and Idea Garden- in addition to the Japan House. The Japan House offers a variety of cultural classes and tea ceremonies, which are open to the public on certain days. A particularly special and scenic part of the Arboretum is the Hartley Garden, with hundreds of different flowering plants in bloom at this time of year.
Dog Parks (Champaign/Urbana) The Urbana Park District Dog Park opened in 2003 with the help of the Dog Park Advisory Committee. It is 10 acres of land for dogs to run free off leash. The groves of trees, open meadows and company of other canines is a dog’s dream. It’s the perfect place to socialize your pet, even including a fenced area for shy dogs. The daily admission fee is $5 for visits, or you can get an annual membership for $19 as a resident with one dog. This also covers your entrance to the Champaign Park District Dog Park, located at Windsor and Rising Road. Both parks are open daily from dawn to dusk, providing a place for pups to romp around all day.

Basil Thai My go-to restaurant that consistently serves up delicious meals is Basil Thai in Urbana. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, so it’s the perfect place to go to when you spontaneously want to spice up your week. Some of my favorite dishes there include the chicken satay appetizer, basil chicken and Thai iced coffee. The basil chicken, one of the restaurant specialties, can be made with tofu and vegetable to accommodate all dietary needs. Both versions are delicious as the sauce seeps from the meat and vegetables, but gets soaked up by the pile of rice on the plate so you can enjoy every last drop. The perfect place for affordable, authentic Asian cuisine. – Nisha Choksi Cravings Used with permission from The Daily Illini
As cliché and hyped this place may be, Cravings has been by far my favorite place to eat in CU. With such a wide range of Asian cultural foods as well as having a very accommodating westernized Chinese food (i.e. Orange Chicken), Cravings always puts a smile everyone’s face (unless they’re closed, that is). My top pick is their ever so popular Jakarta fried rice (also known as Nasi Goreng, Indonesian fried rice). The sweet soy sauce, cut up chili and fried egg really bring the dish together. The mapo tofu and eggplant are a close second and third though. – Tony Gao Sakanaya

My favorite ethnic food destination in CU has to be Sakanaya. While I don’t get there that often, considering it is on the pricier side of Green Street dining options, I’m always more than satisfied. The service is always exceptional, and the ambiance is personal and refined. Every time I go, I always start with a piece of uni, the umami-rich roe of the sea urchin (fun fact: it’s actually the gonads). After that, a couple of rolls and some of their excellent ramen, You will feel nothing but satisfied. – Sam Smithson
