Badgers hope to Stave the Tide
Joel Stave
Joel Stave
BORN: May 16, 1992 BIRTHPLACE: Greenfield, Wisconsin HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6 foot 5 inches/220 pounds TEAM: Wisconsin Badgers POSITION: Quarterback NO.: 2 PASSING YARDS: 4,948 TOUCHDOWNS: 37 INTERCEPTIONS: 26 MAJOR: Civil Engineering HONORS AND ACHIEVEMENTS: Big Ten Champion (2011, 2012), 2013 Rose Bowl, 2014 Capital One Bowl, 2015 Outback Bowl
For Wisconsin Badgers’ senior quarterback Joel Stave and first-year head coach, Paul Chryst, it is a reunion of sorts this season. Chryst, a Wisconsin alumni, was an offensive coach for the Badgers in Stave’s red-shirt season in 2011 and he now returns as head coach after the departure of Gary Andersen to Oregon State. They’ll have to get reacquainted in short order though, as the Badgers face a formidable foe when they open their 2015 college football season at home against Alabama on Saturday, Sept. 5, on ABC. The Crimson Tide, still reeling from a Final Four loss to the Badger’s Big Ten rival, the Ohio State Buckeyes, will be looking to give Stave trouble. The Buckeyes also dismantled Stave and the Badgers in the Big Ten Conference Championship game on their way to a National title last season. For Stave, this season is a chance to establish himself as a viable NFL prospect. Another good season on his part and he could emerge as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2016 NFL draft. Especially, if he and the Badgers can continue to be competitive without the running game they had courtesy of last season’s Heisman Trophy candidate Melvin Gordon, who is now in the NFL. Once they get beyond Alabama, the road to another Big Ten Championship game gets easier. With Ohio State and Michigan State battling it out in the East, Stave and Wisconsin should emerge as the favorite in the West.

Cyrus hosts, Swift possibly rules at MTV Video Music Awards Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift: Who will be more talked about after the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards? It’s a valid question, for reasons as different as the two music stars themselves. In announcing she would host the annual event – being televised from Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater on Sunday, Aug. 30, by the cable music channel (which admittedly has significantly less music in its era of such series as “Teen Wolf” and “Scream”) – Cyrus knowingly said, in signs posted in Instagram, “MTV won’t let me perform, so I’m hosting this year’s VMAs.” The former “Hannah Montana” has a history with the VMAs that arguably reached its peak (to date, anyway) with her 2013 gyrating to Robin Thicke’s performance of “Blurred Lines” that immediately made “twerk” one of the best-known verbs in the English idiom. And last year, she sent a young man to the stage to collect her award for video of the year and make a speech on behalf of homeless youths. Swift goes into this year’s VMAs with the most nominations of any artist, enjoying nine bids for her album “1989” and its tunes. Her run with the ceremony has been calmer, but still talkable on several occasions; in 2009, an elaborately choreographed, live performance followed her through a good chunk of Manhattan (including a subway car) and onto the Radio City Music Hall stage. And, of course, there was that year’s situation not of Swift’s own doing – other than her winning one of the “Moonman” trophies – that kept her in headlines for days afterward. Kanye West suddenly took the stage during her acceptance speech for best female video (for ”You Belong With Me”) to advocate for Beyonce, who he felt should have won the honor instead for “Single Ladies.” As for “1989,” whose hits include the VMA-nominated “Bad Blood” and “Blank Space,” Swift told this writer upon its release that she knew what she wanted it to be: “I definitely make an album for lots of different reasons. I think there should be things on the album that make you want to dance, there should be things on the album that make you think about your life, there should be things on the album that immediately conjure up a past relationship, and there should be things on the album that make you want to fill in the blanks and figure out the rest of the story.” Here are the nominees in several 2015 MTV Video Music Award categories: Video of the year: “Alright, ” Kendrick Lamar; “Bad Blood,” Taylor Swift featuring Kendrick Lamar; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran; “7/11,” Beyonce; “Uptown Funk,” Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. Best male video: “Alright,” Kendrick Lamar; “Chains,” Nick Jonas; “Earned It,” The Weeknd; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran; “Uptown Funk,” Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. Best female video: ”Anaconda,” Nicki Minaj; “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift; “Elastic Heart,” Sia; “Love Me Like You Do,” Ellie Goulding; “7/11,” Beyonce. Best pop video: “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift; “Sugar,” Maroon 5; “7/11,” Beyonce; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran; “Uptown Funk,” Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. Best rock video: “Ship To Wreck,” Florence and the Machine; “Shut Up and Dance,” Walk the Moon; “Take Me To Church,” Hozier; “Uma Thurman,” Fall Out Boy; “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?,” Arctic Monkeys.

‘A Chef’s Life’ is an open book for Vivian Howard in Season 3
BY GEORGE DICKIE
Vivian Howard
Chef Vivian Howard has had a lot on her plate in recent years, pardon the pun. In the first two seasons of her PBS cooking/documentary series “A Chef ’s Life,” she and husband Ben Knight dealt with a devastating kitchen fire in their Kinston, N.C., restaurant, opened a second eatery in the same town and lived the roller-coaster daily existence that is restaurant ownership. So as Season 3 opens on Thursday, Sept. 3 (check local listings), Howard takes on something of a less stressful task as she works to write and get a cookbook published. “I’m actually getting ready to deliver the manuscript on Oct. 1 – well, theoretically Oct. 1. I think it’s going to be more like the 15th,” Howard says with a laugh. “So, yes, and Season 3 kind of tracks my progress doing that and my struggles and trying to carve out time for that work.” “It’s called ‘Deep Run Roots’ ... and it’s massive. I imagine a lot of it is going to get edited down because I’ve never seen a cookbook this big in print. But I mean I know that it will and I’m prepared for that.” But the restaurant business being what it is, there are always problems. This season, the chef at the Boiler Room, their second concern, quits, forcing non-chef Ben to step into the kitchen and prepare meals from Vivian’s recipes – without Vivian around. “I’m not watching over him,” Howard says, laughing. “I collaborate with him. “What I’ve learned,” she continues, “is that I’m really kind of a onerestaurant chef. And I think it’s really hard for a chef who’s very involved in the food of their restaurant to really be the head chef of several different restaurants. So most of the time, we know chefs who have a bunch of different restaurants, they’re really most connected to one of those restaurants and the other restaurants have a chef. I’m the guiding principle and guiding creative force over at the Boiler Room but I don’t work in that kitchen on a daily basis.” What book are you currently reading? “I’m not reading anything right now (laughs). ... I just recently read Dan Barber’s ‘The Third Plate,’ which I found very enlightening. It took me a long time to get through it but it’s definitely a worthwhile read. I just reread on vacation ‘Garlic and Sapphires,’ which is a Ruth Reichl book that I love. I love the way she talks about food.” What did you have for dinner last night? “A tomato sandwich (laughs) with broccoli sprouts.” What is your next project? “Well, I try to deliver this book Oct. 1. We’re going to be full throttle filming Season 4 of the show and we’ve pitched an idea about the food of the Civil War to PBS and hopefully we’ll be able to produce that.” When was the last vacation you took, where and why? “My family beach vacation. We go to Emerald Isle, which is just a North Carolina beach about an hour from here. We go for one week every summer. It’s not incredibly exciting.”
The Progress-Index, Petersburg, Va., August 30 - September 5, 2015 BY JAY BOBBIN “MAD MAX: FURY ROAD” The franchise that launched Mel Gibson to global stardom gets a reboot, though original director George Miller still calls the shots – and still keeps the proceedings grim and grueling. Tom Hardy (“The Dark Knight Rises”) assumes the role of the post-apocalyptic Australian loner newly aligned with a warrior (Charlize Theron) who has turned against her former leader (Hugh Keays-Byrne, another alum of the original “Mad Max”), an enemy of Max. Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also are featured, as is plenty of impressive vehicular action. DVD extras: six “makingof” documentaries; deleted scenes. ››› (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

“GLEN CAMPBELL ... I’LL BE ME” Director James Keach’s poignant, widely praised documentary traces “Gentle on My Mind” and “Rhinestone Cowboy” country-music icon Campbell’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, which didn’t prevent him from mounting a farewell concert tour – an event that the film largely deals with, featuring Campbell’s daughter Ashley in his backup band. Wife Kim’s devotion to him throughout moments both happy and troubled also is made amply clear by the film, which incorporates tributes from Campbell admirers including Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, U2’s The Edge, Jay Leno and President Bill Clinton. ››› (Not rated: AS, P) (Also on On Demand) “BESSIE” A big player in this year’s Emmy Awards, with 11 nominations, this biography of legendary blues singer Bessie Smith boasts a

Among those motivated to do their part during World War II were several of Hollywood’s greatest directors. Much of their work related to that period will be showcased by Turner Classic Movies on Tuesdays throughout September, tied to author Mark Harris’ similarly themed 2014 book “Five Came Back.” He joins TCM host Ben Mankiewicz to discuss the intentions of the filmmakers, all Oscar winners, in their wartime dramas and documentaries. Frank Capra is the first spotlighted on Sept. 1, and subsequent weeks showcase John Huston (Sept. 8), John Ford (Sept. 15), William Wyler (Sept. 22) and George Stevens (Sept. 29). TCM’s Capra attractions include “Meet John Doe” and also draw heavily from his “Why We Fight” series, which Mankiewicz cites as “landmark documentaries, using animation incredibly effectively while telling a vital story, even if they weren’t always timely from a propaganda point of view. Historically, though, they serve as the high-water mark of our wartime propaganda; they are well-paced, informative, moving and at times, inspiring without beating us over the head.” Harris didn’t foresee TCM basing a month-long series on his book, though he says he used the channel “extensively as a research aid” while writing it, “so I couldn’t be more delighted and grateful. “Each of the directors had a different reason for joining the war effort,” Harris notes. “Capra was an immigrant who wanted to prove his American-ness; Wyler (‘Mrs. Miniver’), also an immigrant, was Jewish and knew that the survival of his family, friends, and hometown were all at stake; Huston (‘Across the Pacific’) liked adventure; and Ford (‘They Were Expendable’) had always wanted to go to sea. For George Stevens (‘The Diary of Anne Frank’), it was simply a sense of patriotic duty, coupled with his knowledge that as a filmmaker, he could offer a special contribution ... as they all could, and did.” Several of Mankiewicz’s relatives were in World War II, including his father, journalist and political adviser Frank Mankiewicz. “A soldier in the 69th Infantry, he was at the Battle of the Bulge toward the end of the battle, nearly losing his toes to frostbite,” says the TCM staple. “He was awarded a combat infantry badge and a Bronze Star. When he died in October, I immediately started wearing his dog tags, which have his next-of-kin notification on them.” Partially because of that, but also for the specific purposes of TCM’s September initiative, Mankiewicz reports his “preparation was intense. I hadn’t seen many of the documentaries, and even if I had seen them, it was a long time ago ... and not in the context of a project like this one. So I watched every movie – rewatched plenty of them – plus read Mark’s book in a more academic way than I would normally read a book. I took a ton of notes as I read.”

feature story By George Dickie © Zap2it In what figures to be a strong fall season for original streaming series, Amazon checks in this week with what appears to be one of the strongest in “Hand of God.” Dropping with 10 episodes Friday, Sept. 4, the hourlong drama stars Ron Perlman (“Sons of Anarchy,” “Beauty and the Beast”) as morallycorrupt judge Pernell Harris who, after a suicide attempt that has left his son in a coma, has a breakdown and begins hearing and seeing what he thinks are messages from the titular deity. And the messages are telling him to go track down the man who raped his daughter-in-law (Alona Tal, “Burn Notice,” “Supernatural”) and thus caused his son to put a bullet in his own head. As the jurist embarks on his campaign of vigilante justice, his social-climber wife, Crystal (Dana Delany, “Body of Proof,” “Desperate Housewives”), thinks her husband has lost his mind. She is ready to move on from the tragedy but the judge’s antics — such as in the pilot’s opening scene where he’s standing naked in a public fountain and chanting in tongues — won’t allow her to. And the audience is left to wonder whether his visions are real or just the product of a traumatized psyche. “I like that Ben (Watkins, creator/executive producer)

rides a fine line with that,” Delany says. “I don’t think we will ever know for sure. I’m not sure. You know, it’s like in life, when you see a sign and you think, ‘Oh my God!’ And then later you think, ‘Well actually, no, that was just a leaf falling.’ But who knows?”
“I think she thinks he’s sick. There’s no way she buys into it. No. She thinks that he’s grieving and that’s his way of manifesting it. But if it starts screwing with her plans,” she says with a laugh, “that’s when things get bad.” Yes, Crystal is not a woman to be underestimated. Accord-

PETER MOONEY
OF ‘ROOKIE BLUE’ THURSDAY ON ABC
The fan base for “Rookie Blue” has proven itself quite passionate about your character, Officer Nick Collins, and about the show in general on social media. How have you found that?

I love it, and what blows my mind is that it’s escalated as we’ve gone on. This show came about sort of pre-Twitter, or right in its infancy ... and to see that interaction we can have with the people who follow the show is really amazing. You get that real-time feedback, which is great. Also, how international it is never ceases to amaze me. We have viewers in Holland and Australia as well as Canada and the States, and that they all have this forum to come together is really mind-blowing.

You’ve also been a writer and producer, and your costar Gregory Smith has directed a number of episodes of “Rookie Blue.” What has having that sort of creative atmosphere meant to you? It’s so fantastic, and the support comes from all directions. Greg and I made a short film a few years ago, and David and Ilana (executive producers Wellington and Frank) were so gracious with letting us use the sets, and were super-open and helpful in any way they could be. They let us take advantage of our “down” time, and they seemed really proud that we were plugging away and working on something on our own.

Greg directed quite a few episodes of that 22-episode marathon that we filmed last year, and consistently did such an amazing job. He boggles my mind when he’s running back and forth from one side of the camera to the other.

Soap Synopses The Bold and the Beautiful Ivy and Quinn became enemies again while working on a new jewelry line. Ridge’s choice for the face of Forrester Creations had a ripple effect. Steffy was backed into a corner by Ivy after watching a video of the night Aly died. Ridge had suspicions that something serious was up at the office. Quinn encouraged Wyatt to go after what he really wants. Thomas and Liam tried to conceal the situation between Ivy and Steffy from Ridge. Ivy refused to back down from her demands despite Ivy’s pleas of innocence in Aly’s death. Liam put Ivy on the spot over the video of Steffy. Ridge tried to get Steffy to unload her burden. Wyatt and Quinn discussed the difficulties moving up in the company without having the Forrester name and eyed the Steffy video as their ticket to advancement. Thomas encouraged Caroline to talk to Ridge about having kids. Ivy had a sudden realization about what she really wants. Nicole questioned Thomas about working so closely with Caroline. Brooke grilled Ridge about his intentions with Caroline. Days of our Lives Chad’s betrayal infuriated Stefano. Ben realized Abigail again lied to him.

WEDNESDAY LATE
“Hand of God,” www.amazon.com/ Hand-God-Season-1-HD/dp/B00MR9UY8A Ron Perlman (“Sons of Anarchy”) stars as a married judge with a girlfriend, a hooker and what appears to be a rapport with the almighty in this new drama that premieres Friday. After his son winds up comatose following a suicide attempt, the old man has a breakdown and begins to hear and see what he thinks are divine messages. His social climber wife (Dana Delany, “Body of Proof”) thinks he’s lost his mind but the audience is left to make up their own. “Experimenting With Megan Amram,” www.youtube.com/ watch?vjYHyYJsP6B0 Amram, Harvard grad, former writer on “Parks and Recreation” and author of “Science ... for Her!,” comes forth with this new offering on Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls YouTube channel that’s designed to get young women interested in science. In the first of six episodes, she welcomes Cal Tech engineering and aeronautics professor Dr. Beverly McKeon and shows how to make
a potato clock, two very disparate though interesting segments. “Reasons I Don’t Have a Boyfriend,” www.reasonsidonthaveaboyfriend.com The perils and vagaries of online dating is at the center of this new comedy, which follows the adventures and misadventures of Caitlin Harris and Molly McQueen (the show’s stars and creators) as we learn why their heightened online versions don’t yet have significant others. Whatever the reasons (“too competitive,” “thirsty,” “can’t hang”), the BFF’s know they have each other after their relationships eventually fail. “The Honest Show,” www.youtube. com/user/AwesomenessTV This funny new series from Hearst Productions for Awesomeness TV turns common situations upside down by approaching them with complete honesty. In the opening episode, “If Teachers Were Honest,” a high-school teacher (played by Arielle Vandenberg) gives candid critiques of her students’ presentations. The advice is painful but hilarious.

In “Explorer’s” new episode “Warlords of Ivory,” premiering Sunday, Aug. 30, National Geographic Fellow, correspondent and veteran of the wildlife trafficking wars Bryan Christy tracks the path of ivory from the site of the kill to ivory carvers. Ivory poaching is well documented. Some 30,000 African elephants are slaughtered every year for their tusks and thousands of men and women are attacked, raped and murdered in the maelstrom of destruction. But “Warlords” takes the investigation a few steps further, illustrating how the ivory is stripped from the carcasses by increasingly militarized poachers, then transported across Africa to be traded for money and ammunition that is then used to sustain campaigns of crime and terrorism. The key component of the investigation are artificial tusks implanted with a tracking device that enabled Christy and his team to follow their path through the marketplace to ivory carvers. “One of the world’s best taxidermists, George Dante, makes this tusk for me,” explains Christy, who also wrote National Geographic magazine’s September cover story, “Tracking Ivory.” “It’s a combination of things. A very heavy resin. We experimented with a lot of different materials and the weight has to be exactly right. These things are very dense but basically it’s a resin. It’s painted with the same acrylic that NASCAR cars are painted with so that it can be thrown around. And the tracker inside was designed by a guy named Quintin Kermeen ... . Quinton does radio collars for all kinds of species. ... Quinton came up with a tracker you can embed in a python and follow it
through the Everglades to see where exactly pythons are. It was sort of a dream-team scenario and then let’s do it.” Not only did the weight of the tusk have to be right, so did the size. If it was too big, it would have to be cut down to be transported, which would reveal that it’s a fake.
“You want it to fit in a backpack,” Christy says, “because probably the most popular way of moving ... right after the poaching incident, is it’s going to be put in a backpack, the guy gets on a motorbike and goes to the local consolidator. It’s a lot of anticipating. We’ve been on this project for a few

At this writing, Christy and his team had tracked their ersatz tusks through three countries, all the while fearing the transmitters would be discovered and destroyed once the tusk was cut into. And at several steps along the way, they thought their fears had been realized when the radio
signal was lost. But the signal so far has reappeared. “Our estimated battery life goes into the fall,” Christy says. “... At some point, it will stop talking and in fact ... once it goes past its last battery date, we’ll know, OK, the battery has died. But in the interim, you don’t know.”

years so I know a lot of techniques in the field. I’ve spent time with ivory dealers. I’ve spent time with ivory carvers and I know what they’re looking for. So it’s all anticipating, ‘OK, I want it to get all the way to the carver. So what does it need to look like to get there?’ ”
