Our Deadliest Addiction: Convenience
Y
ou know you’re addicted to something when you forsake logic and quality of life in order to acquire what you think you can’t live without. A crack, sex or heroin addict will give up almost anything to score. Americans didn’t invent addiction to convenience but we sure have perfected it. I used to listen to music everyday. That makes it sound like I don’t any more and it’s kind of true. Of course, like everyone else in the modern world, I hear music everyday but I don’t really listen to it. I don’t, with intention, play music everyday. When I used to listen to music, it involved putting a vinyl disc on a turntable, a cassette in a deck or a CD in a changer. No matter how easy that seems compared to 100 years ago when listening to music meant playing it or hearing others play it, hardly anyone plays a tape, vinyl or CD anymore. We just pull out an iPhone and (yuck) earbuds, find one of thousands of songs or radio stations and listen immediately. How convenient. But the audio? It’s an estimation of sound derived from millions of digital bits quantizing the area under a curve of a continuously variable analog sound wave that doesn’t exist in my iPhone. Real sound has been replaced with an estimation of real sound. That’s why MP3s sound so insanely crappy when compared to an analog recording. But for the sake of convenience, the convenience of being able to carry 3000 albums around in my pocket, I sacrifice what I know is better sound for immediate gratification. As for the original function of that iPhone — telecommunication — talking to someone on the phone? For those of you who remember landlines, let me ask you this. How long would you put up with a landline that failed 10 percent of the time? How long would you keep that landline if one out of 10 times you looked at it and it said “No Service”? Or dropped a call in the middle of a sentence? You’d never put up with that. But for a cell phone, for the convenience of having it around all the time, being able to receive and make calls when driving, shopping, at the movies or church, you’ll put up with poor performance. Convenience Food. Post-World War Two America was fertile ground for developing schemes to commercialize aspects of American life into money-making products that would explode affluence and ruin our health. Charles Mortimer, as marketing guru at General Foods, is credited with coining the term “convenience food.” At his direction, a chemist in the food giant’s research department named Al Clausi spent years developing a concoction of chemicals
that would shave hours off the labor-intensive task of making a simply elegant dessert. As an Army chemist at an explosives plant during the war, Clausi knew the use of chemicals for bombs, pharmaceuticals and petroleum. Now he was tasked with using chemicals to make “food.” Experimenting with calcium acetate, pyrophosphate and orthophosphate, Clausi made history by inventing Jello-O Instant Pudding. Instead of real pudding that took hours to create, housewives could whip up a batch of General Foods’ Jello-O made from chemicals and processed food-like ingredients in just 15 minutes! How convenient! America’s love affair with convenience food intersected perfectly with the disappearance of small, family-owned food stores like bakeries, butcher shops, granaries, and dairies as they morphed into “supermarkets”, presenting the convenience of all-in-one shopping. And rather than take a streetcar, a bus or walking, we’d drive a car, drawn by “convenient parking.” Microwaved into obesity. Packaging chemically-processed food commodities into frozen “TV Dinners,” canned soups and lunch meats removed nutrients, added chemicals and lavished convenience on the addicted masses. More time to enjoy life by becoming sedentary watching “Bonanza” and “Leave It to Beaver” on the boob tube. Hot Pockets, microwave popcorn and the pinnacle of laziness, Lunchables, were soon to follow. Academics have since pointed out that the introduction of the microwave oven, leading to an avalanche of convenience, exactly parallels the steady rise in waistline girth and obesity. Not causality perhaps, but ironic coincidence. Now we’d rather conveniently poison weeds (and ourselves) rather than pull them. Who would buy a car without power windows or a remote starter? Wash dishes? Hah! And where it hits us most is in healthcare. Americans choose the quick-fix joint replacement or surgery over physical therapy or rehab. It’s… convenient. Make the effort to cut sugar and trim that belly fat? Why bother when liposuction works. Take responsibility for health or the time to let acupuncture, herbals or yoga heal you? Nuh uh. Gimme a pill, doc. Reorganize life and diet to lower blood pressure? Heart disease? Even though the Ornish Program with diet and lifestyle change has an 87 percent success rate at reversing coronary disease without drugs or surgery, Americans opt for a bypass or stent. We’re living an inconvenient truth. Gotta go. Headed to Homers for the new Jack White vinyl. Be well. ,
VISIONS FROM FIVE MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE • JUNE 19, 2014 • The next decade will see a return of the pageant. This public celebration has dwindled down to half-hearted parades featuring few floats and fewer attractions, but an increased sense of civic pride will cause neighborhoods to produce increasingly magnificent
events, including uniformed marching bands, Mardi Gras-style floats, and block parties that involve street after street filled with entertainment and events. There will be national pageant competitions, and hobbyists who travel throughout the US to see the best.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT WHAT ARE BY SARA LOCKE
YOU MADE OF?
I
try to be a mindful eater. Considering that we are what we put into our body, I want to be sure I’m made of healthy, pretty things. So I recently took an inventory of the foods I regularly eat, and here is what I found; if I am indeed what I eat, then I am made of approximately 30% fruits and vegetables, 20% animal, 15% eggs and dairy, and 35% a combination of additives that years of winning spelling bees won’t help me to sound out, chemicals that even scientists have to use initials or nicknames for, and seven synonyms for sugar. Ouch. Let’s talk about a common food additive, but instead of saying “Butylated Hydroxytoluene,” let’s say “jet fuel.” It’s also used in embalming fluid, so we can call it that if it’s easier on the stomach. But it really isn’t, is it? How about another common food additive? Azodicarbonamide is what yoga mats are made from, but it also happens to be used in food. I’ve always wanted to become one with my yoga practice, but adding this stuff to my food is about nine steps too far. So in order to avoid all of this mess, we obviously need to build earth-shelter homes on islands far away, grow our own food, and raise our own livestock. Or, we could just join the revolution! It’s called “knowing where your food comes from.” Food can be fun, delicious, and easily pronounced. Local restaurants like Grey Plume, Dante’s Pizzeria, and Block 16 are among some amazing local eateries practicing what they call “Farm to Fork.” Dolce on Maple, Benson Brewery, and Harvest at Lakeside are all striving to bring you locally sourced, pronounceable fare. I spoke with Jessica and Colin, the dynamic duo behind Kitchen Table in the Old Market. Jessica told me that the driving force behind their food philosophy is love. The “kitchen table” is where a family comes together at the end of the day to enjoy a healthy, hearty, home cooked meal. They’ve designed their restaurant so that everyone from AtheMel Brooks Musical! vegetarian (like Jessica) to the gluten intolerant, to the ravenous carnivore can feel included and at home. They’ve created such close relationships with everyone, from their clients to the local farmers who make regular deliveries to the restaurant, that they’ve begun to feel like everyone is another member of a very big, loud, loving family.

You don’t have to resort to a diet of wheat grass shots and green smoothies to be a clean, mean, awesome machine; you just have to know where to look. In a city as rapidly expanding and open to change as Omaha, your healthful dining-out options are growing almost constantly. Now, to tackle that tricky pantry of yours. If you walk into your kitchen, you’ll see labels with cheerful ingredient lists and bold lettering touting “25% of your daily ______ needs!” What you won’t see in this clever marketing is the advertisement of 1200% of your daily tolerance of yellow #40. 730% of your daily allowance of sugar. 670% of the amount of toxins your body knows how to filter out. What you may not notice on the food labels are the chemicals that have been scientifically proven to cause hyperactivity, sensory processing disorders, diabetes, and obesity. So where does one find a steady supply of quality foodstuffs? Enter our hero: Your Local CSA. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Supporting small farms is the only way to keep them running and prevent big, chemical-laden, unethicallyrun factory farms from becoming our only source of nutrition. You deal directly with farmers to secure a weekly delivery of fresh, local food. These can include all manner of produce, eggs, meat, butter, milk, honey, and even pet food. To gain your own perspective, head down to your local farmer’s market and support an area grower this weekend. Wenninghoff Farms (www.wenninghoff.com) has already won my heart this year. The harvest events alone were enough to make me promise my patronage yet again. What is a harvest event? I’m so glad you asked! For a measly $10, you are handed a five gallon bucket and directions to the part of the farm containing the produce you desire. You drive the mile or so from their store to the farm and you pick your own produce. Last year, my 5 gallon bucket of red bell peppers contained 72 of the sweet, delicious, and infinitely versatile little fruit that cost upwards of a dollar a unit in the grocery store. Healthy doesn’t have to be cost prohibitive or boring. Support small farmers and vive la révolution! , ■ THIRSTY, AKSARBEN VILLAGE? Spirit World will make the move to Aksarben Village in mid-October, taking over the spot that used to house Wohlner’s Neighborhood Grocery. There will be some significant renovations to ready the space for Spirit World. Expect to encounter whiskey tastings and other special events at the new location. www.spiritworldwine.com ■ BENSON BEER AND CHEESE PAIRING You like beer, and you like cheese, so why not learn how to put these two together splendidly? Attend the Benson Beer and Branched Oak Farm Cheese Pairing Thursday, June 26, from 7-10 p.m. at Benson Brewery.

f you’ve tried a House Margarita at LaMesa you already know that there’s something a little different about it when compared to house margaritas at some other places. Let’s be honest here; the House Margarita at La Mesa just tastes better. While many of us are quite content to just accept the fact that La Mesa simply does everything better than everyone else, there are some of you who may wonder why the House Margarita does taste so darn good. So for you curious folks, I will gladly demystify the secrets of La Mesa’s House Margarita. First, a little history on the house margarita in general. Legend has it that the margarita was invented in the 1940s by a woman named — wait for it — Margarita. It wasn’t until the ’50s that the drink started showing up all over the place, and nowadays it’s credited as one of the most popular mixed drinks around. When you waltz into any restaurant and order “a margarita,” you’re going to get a house margarita unless you specify otherwise. A house margarita is the drink we all know and love, usually made from tequila, triple sec, lime and other flavorings and then garnished with a salted rim. So you might think that you could indeed waltz into any restaurant and order a house margarita and you would pretty much wind up with the same drink each and every time, but those of us who are margarita connoisseurs know that this just isn’t the case. Thus, the mystery: why don’t all house margaritas taste the same at all restaurants if they’re all made with the same stuff? The answer, of course, involves the actual stuff that’s put into the house margarita. Let’s just start with the La Mesa House Margarita. It’s made with El Jimador Blue Agave Reposado Tequila, and just like all the other tequilas available at La Mesa, this is 100% agave tequila. That means that there aren’t any other sweeteners included within the tequila — no cane sugar, no artificial sweeteners…just agave. This is why you take a sip of the La Mesa House Margarita and think to yourself, “Now that’s a good margarita.”
Or, as La Mesa Regional Manager Jose Salazar tells me, “That’s what you get at La Mesa. It’s a 100% tequila product and not an imitation.” If you’re wondering how one imitates tequila, let me tell you a little secret. There’s a 51/49 rule when it comes to tequila — at least 51% needs to be agave in order to be called tequila. Tequilas that follow the 51/49 rule are typically called mixtos. “The other 49% can be from sugars, which are cheaper,” explains Jose. “They do that to lower the cost.” Not so with the tequilas featured at La Mesa. You’re only going to get 100% agave tequila at La Mesa, including the tequila used for the House Margarita. “And that’s what makes it a better product,” adds Jose. “We try to bring our customers the best product we can.” So here’s the deal with house margaritas: you’re not going to get the same thing everywhere you go, unless you’re only going to La Mesa. Some places are going to toss a bunch of sub-par tequila into their house margaritas and hope you don’t notice, but La Mesa knows you better than that. You can get 100% agave tequila in a margarita at another restaurant, but you’ll have to specifically ask for it and you won’t get it in a house margarita, and the real kicker here is that you’ll have to pay more for it. Only at La Mesa will you get premium tequila at a house margarita price. This is one of the few instances in life where “you get what you pay for” doesn’t apply, because really, you’re getting more than what you paid for when you get a House Margarita at La Mesa. —Tamsen Butler

“W
hen the Buddy Holly show happened, I went from complete obscurity in this cover band, playing for 20 people to playing sold out shows for two months. I wanted to see how long we could keep it going. 12 years later, we are a national act,” said singer and performer Billy McGuigan of his Buddy Holly show, Rave On. These days, McGuigan and his band have three shows they tour with: Rave On, Yesterday and Today (featuring the Beatles’ music) and Rock Legends. McGuigan acknowledges there’s no way he could have enjoyed a successful, full-time career as a singer without a lot of support along the way. And one of the first people to step up and encourage him was his father, Bill, who passed away from Leukemia in 1996 at the age of 42. “He was a military guy and though he may have wanted me to play football or baseball, he was always super supportive. When I was in 10th grade, I was in The Music Man and he was like, “Billy, ‘Till there was you’ was in The Music Man and the Beatles did that.” His encouragement was always with me,” explained McGuigan. The more he thought about it, the more he thought what better way to honor his father’s memory than to start a scholarship for a student like Billy, one who had a passion for the arts and needed help financially. To raise the funds required for the scholarship, McGuigan and his band will play two shows this weekend at Bellevue East High School (McGuigan’s alma mater). A portion of the ticket sales will go to benefit the Bill McGuigan Memorial Fund Scholarship which will be set up for a Bellevue East student who is looking to pursue a career in the arts. And that can be anything from music or theatre to journalism or art McGuigan said he contacted Bellevue East High School because that’s where his career started and they were gracious enough to let the band use their theatre. He said the performances will be a combination of all three of the band’s shows plus some original music. During the shows, McGuigan said he will take the audience on a walk down memory lane. “20 years gives you a perspective on your life where you can look back at yourself and hopefully laugh at what you were like in high school,” he said. The band will do some souped up rock songs and maybe some songs from musicals McGuigan performed in when he was in high school. Calling his band “unbelievable,” he said the musicians will include his road band as well as special guests, Jimmy Weber, guitar; Johnny Ray Gomez IV, keyboards; and Stan Harper, sax. “It will be a huge sound, unlike anything we’ve ever done which is really exciting,” said McGuigan. There’s a good chance there will be some audience participation in the shows as well. McGuigan said he’s still fleshing out how they will do that. He said it may take the form of request cards or the band may be loose about it; go into the audience and see what people want to hear. He said the band can literally play anything from jazz to country to rock.

They will also do a songwriter’s workshop with some of the Bellevue East kids during the day this weekend. McGuigan explained if any songs come out of the workshop that are good enough, the band can play the song one evening with a couple of the students. McGuigan said he thinks his programs do well because even though they are “tribute shows,” they do not fall into the cheesy category or what most people think of when they hear that term.

He said Rave On is theatrical and funny. McGuigan said he and his band do not wear wigs or affect accents during the Beatles show and they leave the set list up to the audience. And those song choices make up the narrative for the evening. For McGuigan, putting the power in the audience’s hands and letting them sculpt their own show, really gets people involved in the performance.
“All three of the shows completely change all the time. With Rave On, the set list changes every night. With 200+ songs, we have been able to keep it fresh,” said McGuigan. Buddy Holly was a prolific musician. In an 18-month career (before he died in a plane crash that also killed fellow musicians, the Big Bopper continued on page 8y

y continued from page 6 and Ritchie Valens), he wrote around 120 songs which he recorded. At this point, McGuigan is more a fan of Holly’s obscure songs versus his more popular tunes like “Peggy Sue” or “That’ll Be the Day.” His favorite right now is “Modern Don Juan.” “A lot of things he did in the ’50s are now commonplace. I think Buddy was ahead of his time and was very sharp. I enjoy the edginess and energy of the songs,” said McGuigan. One of the biggest myths about the band is that they only play to individuals in their 60s and 70s and McGuigan said that’s just not true. He explained there has been a resurgence of younger people discovering this music. For McGuigan, those are the people he wants to invigorate and get excited about this music. Being passionate about the arts is one of the key requirements for the Bill McGuigan Scholarship. This scholarship will be need based and will be awarded to someone who has a desire to pursue something a little more involved than trying theatre their first semester in college. “When I went to college I went there to be a theater major and thought I would end eventually
end up on ‘Saturday Night Live’. Then you get into college and realized that it’s not going to happen. Even so, I still acted and did things like that. Then around 1999 I joined my first band. When I didn’t get ‘Saturday Night Live’ at 21, I could have said, ‘Ah, whatever,’ but instead I reinvented myself and discovered what I was good at,” said McGuigan. For the new scholarship, McGuigan said students who are interested will be interviewed. He said they will be looking for a student with a desire to perform who also has a financial need for assistance. Normally, a student has to be really good at either English or Math to get a good scholarship for theatre or something in the arts. That is why this scholarship is so different. “I am just excited to be able to perform in honor of my dad. This show will be extra special for him. I wish he was here but because he’s not, we are going to do something special for him,” said McGuigan. , Bellevue East High School Auditorium, 1401 High School Drive, Bellevue, NE, Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21.

ollywood still stubbornly refuses to make a blockbuster flick about the College World Series, despite my repeated emails proposing When Metal Bats Go Ding. They have, however, repeatedly drank from the well of America’s pastime, with scores of movies about baseball (92 percent of which feature Kevin Costner). Here is the definitive top five baseball movies ever made. And you can trust me on that because I’m a Cubs fan and thus have excellent decision making when it comes to baseball. 5.) The Natural Featuring Robert Redford as God’s favorite baseball player, Roy Hobbs, The Natural features a breathtaking score and a bat named “Wonder Boy.” Wonder Boy was made from a tree that was struck by lightning, so basically Roy Hobbs is Thor with worse hair and less muscles. This one makes the list because, at its best, baseball is a sport that makes you feel like you’re a part of something bigger. 4.) A League of Their Own Not only does this movie feature the only known pairing of the acting powerhouse duo that is Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell, it also features the single most repeated line in the history of sports movies. “There’s no crying in baseball” is still said daily. Again, I know that because I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. With a dollop of feminism, a great deal of comedy and a heck of a true story fueling it, A League of Their Own still holds up.
3.) Field of Dreams One of the few films dude-bros are allowed to admit they cry about, this is easily the best movie to ever feature ghosts playing baseball. “If you build it, they will come” always sounded like a threat to me, but Kevin Costner built it and got to have a catch with his dead dad. The best thing to ever happen to Iowa tourism this side of The Bridges of Madison County, this movie hits you right in the feels. There’s no MLB stat line for that. 2.) Major League You know a movie has to be good if I like it despite the presence of Charlie Sheen. From its quotable lines (“Just a bit outside”) to its copious use of the song “Wild Thing,” Major League is darn near a perfect sports comedy. I do worry that Wesley Snipes’ role as Willy Mays Hayes, who prided himself on stealing bases, is where Snipes got the idea to steal from the IRS. That said, there has literally never been a better use of Bob Uecker, so it was all worth it. 1.) Bull Durham There are two kinds of lists about baseball movies: Ones where Bull Durham is ranked first and irrelevant ones. Everything that is good about baseball is in this film, which overcomes the presence of human Ambien pill Kevin Costner. With Tim Robbins stealing scenes, Susan Sarandon sultrying up the screen and Costner also present, Bull Durham reminds us that baseball is, at its best, a sport that moves our hearts.

lex Jansen had a certain set of expectations when he began working at Blatt Beer and Table in March 2014; two months before the whirlwind of business that came to north Downtown Omaha with the College World Series. Big crowds, loud customers and plenty of unruly patrons. Nothing a server or bartender hadn’t already seen on an ordinary weekend shift. Even still, just four days into Omaha’s premiere sporting event, the College World Series crowd went beyond the expectations that he had for the sports bar and craft beer pub opened by Flagship Restaurant Group. “When I got hired here, the manager, she told me that I could not take any days off this week, because ‘it’s just going to be swamped…if you need those days off, just don’t take the job,’” Jansen said. Having previously worked as a waiter before, he thought he knew what to expect with the big crowds and the blaring music. The crowds were lined up out the door however, and the music came from three different directions during opening ceremonies; the restaurant’s speakers, the the ballpark P.A. system and a performance by Young The Giant. As the night went on, the crowds became restless Friday, and the “occasional fight” turned into a domino effect that caused the bar to close nearly two hours early. The Omaha Police made the call after two fans got into it, spurning on more action in the crowd. Blatt missed out on about two hours of business, and had to ask the live musical entertainment to shut down early.
“It’s mob mentality. One thing leads to another,” Jansen said. “(The managers) don’t like that at all… But they don’t want anything bad to happen here.” Jansen took the job after eating at Blatt one night. He had a friend working there, who told him how wild (and lucrative) it could be during the College World Series. Not only does he work the entire tournament, but most of those shifts start at 10 hours. Monday’s shift during a twogame day started at 2 p.m. and ended at midnight. But the tips - oh, the tips. “I get paid for the work I’m doing. It’s just non-stop from open to close,” he said. I’m in the middle of the actions, so I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” He comes from a line of College World Series patrons, with the tournament acting as a family get-together for most of his life. In his first year working at Blatt, hes missed the most baseball action he can remember. “It’s just as much of a job as it is a night out,” he said. Jansen will get one day off, which means enough time to squeeze in a game. Like the pitching staff of the CWS teams, the management at Blatt knows it can’t burn its employees out during the two-week stretch. “I’ve always come down here every year to the College World Series and hung out. I’ve been to this bar

he 22 Floors apartment complex is about as close as you get to living the College World Series life. Located across the street from TD Ameritrade Park, its residents live with the good and the bad that come with quartering a few hundred steps from the left field entrance to the ballpark. For Jerry and Jodi Rinne - parttime residents of 22 Floors - the view from their second-floor apartment above Goodnights Pizza with a view of the ballpark outweighs the nighttime thumping bass and honking cars after 2 a.m. Jerry motions toward the ballpark, the Slowdown and Blatt Beer and Table. “You have a band here, they’ve got a D.J. there and they’ve got a band there, and they all muffle together,” he said. It’s not rough living for the Fremont couple though, who estimate they spend about 100 days per year at the apartment across the 13th street from the baseball park. The two enjoy people watching between games during the tournament and the nightlife that goes along with the two-week stretch in June. The family dog usually doesn’t come along though, because the double beep of a keyless entry after closing time isn’t his favorite.

“You can hear the bass in the walls,” Jodi said. The couple gets the most use out of 22 Floors during the winter actually, for Creighton basketball games and concerts. Jodi, an Arlington, Neb. native and Jerry, and Beatrice, Neb. native enjoy the crowds the World Series draws more than anything, they said. They simply want to be “in the middle of it all.” Seeing the highest caliber of college baseball isn’t too bad either. “Unless it’s a team (I) like, I just want to see good baseball,” Jerry said. “Good baseball doesn’t happen until the last half of the game, so that’s when, if you wait long enough, the scalpers will drop their prices too. They don’t want to eat them.” He’s got the art of scalping tickets down to more of a science, he said, one of the benefits of living within earshot of the corners where tickets scalpers camp out on a daily basis. Jerry gets a feel for scalped ticket prices from the deck and hangs out until the the scalpers get desperate. He’s done this enough times to know when that is. Sometimes fans with short attentions spans make the best incidental scalpers, too.

“There’s ways to do it,” Jerry said. “Just by sitting out at Goodnight’s, you can see some of the people will go to the games for 2-3 innings and they’ll come back, and they’ll give tickets away because they’re done for the night.” They hold out for club level sometimes, where they’ll spend a little extra. They spend enough to make it to half the games, Jodi said. “If we want to go, great. It’s not like if we don’t go we’re gonna lose any sleep over it,” said Jerry. Monday afternoon, the two made their way toward the stadium to watch Vanderbilt and UC Irvine - maybe. “If we don’t make it, we’re going to go to the Blatt and have a brat,” Jodi said. Being in the middle of the action every day leads to plenty of interaction with the visiting fan bases too. This year, Jodi thinks Ole Miss and TCU brought the biggest contingents. All the people watching and visiting leads to restaurant recommendations, and compliments from fan bases across the country. Less than a week in, this year’s visitors haven’t strayed from the usual reputation. “They really enjoy Omaha, and it’s kind of nice to hear people (say) nice things when they come into the community, even though we’re not originally from Omaha,” Jerry said. “Just being Nebraskan, you’re kind of proud of that.”
before, but I’ve never seen it from the other side,” Jansen said. “It’s way more intense, but I’m having just as much fun.” The fun doesn’t last a full 10-hour shift however, much less a 13-hour day from open to close. The bartenders get testy with the customers, and vice versa, Jansen said. But the employees also get testy with each other. And the customers get testy with each other, too. There’s new faces from other Flagship restaurants in to help. As Jansen recounts his story in a relatively quiet and peaceful (for the meantime) stairwell, there’s about 25-30 employees on duty that he’s never seen before. The satisfied baseball crowds and the out-of-towners make it worth it, he said. The memory that sticks with him is a pair of TCU football players, who raved over drinks about how much they loved Omaha and the environment at Blatt; seeing the ballpark over the railing from the rooftop patio “They were just giggly-happy about being here, too,” Jansen said.

t just wouldn’t be the same old College World Series without the threat of severe weather. While TD Ameritrade park hasn’t experienced any delays yet through the tournament’s fist round of games, downtown Omaha has had daunting dark clouds and thunderstorms to the west on a few occasions so far. When it looks like the park is in for extreme weather, there’s a lot going on behind closed doors, under the concourse and in TD Ameritrade’s offices. The event staff — from part-time workers all the way up to CWS of Omaha Inc. vice president — are keeping their eyes and ears open. They listen to the crowds, watch social media and keep communications open among the staff. “There’s a lot of chatter and a lot of talk,” said Betsy Ronspies, a third-year event intern. “We talk a lot about what’s on social media and what people are saying. We talk with the local weather people, meteorologists, The Weather Channel.” Ronspies was around as a fan for the infamous “TD Ameritragedy” (the storm severe enough to earn its own Twitter account, @TDAmeritragedy) in the summer of 2011, you you might say she’s seen the worst. She had ridden to the park with her dad, a 25-year College World Series athletic trainer. When the sirens went off, she got the call from Dad: “Come to the dugout right now!” he said. Her friends hit the road shortly after. “I remember running down the steps to the first base dugout, standing on the steps with my dad and
people just saying ‘run,’” Ronspies said. “I was in the the tunnel area and just looked back and saw this huge black cloud coming.” Along with her dad and the athletic training from the two teams playing that night, she rode the storm out in the training room. Most fans had evacuated to the concourse, the Century Link Center or the tunnels under the stadium. Now that she’s on the employee side in 2014, Ronspies gets to feel the collective nerves when the clouds get dark. She knows the drills now though, and who is in charge of what. CWS vice president Kathryn Morrissey

given College World Series baseball game will see up to 25,000 fans in attendance. Behind the scenes however, there’s a fleet of event staff clad in green and blue collared shirts facilitating the events from day one, including opening ceremonies, Fan Fest and the slew of hospitality areas. The tournament kicks off with one of its biggest productions of the whole tournament — the team barbecue. On Friday of opening ceremonies, 1,500 pounds of meat go through smokers and onto the buffet table for eight CWS teams, with the event staff running the function. ”It’s crazy,” said event staffer Betsey Ronspies. “I love it.” The tournament begins with the interns introducing themselves to the team on the bus as they pull up to the stadium. Ronspies is in her third year as an intern, and had the responsibility of ushering the Texas Tech Red Raiders to the team barbecue. Co-worker Rudy Weiser escorted Texas Christian. “We’re with the team most of the time,” he said. “We did have volunteers for Fan Fest, so we had to make sure everything was coordinated out there “One of ushers them through the team barbecue, and when to meet out in center field in so they can get lined up and ready to walk out onto the field.” Ronspies said she’s found the southern teams to like the barbecue the most. She’s heard players talk

about stories they’ve heard about it from years past. The Gamecocks of South Carolina were the biggest fans of the barbecue, she said. After opening ceremonies, the duty becomes more about keeping the plan in line. Weiser, Ronspies and the team get the teams their lunches or dinner before or after the games, make sure everything is running smoothly with the hotels and act as liaisons with Levy Restaurants, TD Ameritrade Park’s in-house food service that feeds the players. “(Our jobs) change every day,” Weiser said. “They just kind of rotate.” During games, the staff works with marketing workers and helps with promotional duties. Last season, Ronspies was along with the marketing squad while they interviewed Duck Dynasty’s Jace Roberston on the big screen. This year, she got to help select two little boys and their dads for a promotional challenge put on by Buffalo Wild Wings. “On camera after they raced, the kid ran back and gave his dad a big hug.” Dad picked him up and the marketing guy asked the boy if he was excited to win the prize for dad,” Ronspies said. “He said ‘yes sir!’ This little seven-year-old boy. It’ was so adorable.” The dirty work usually happens over the phone or via email, sometimes in the hospitality VIP suite. Complaints and strange questions file in from a range of patrons.

“Somebody called me last year and asked how to get to Rosenblatt for the game,” Ronspies laughed. She had to inform the woman that Rosenblatt Stadium doesn’t actually exist anymore. Then there was the gentleman who called from Lot D, just a few hundred feet outside the ballpark, asking if the rain falling on him was falling in the stadium less than a hundred yards away. (It was). The VIP hospitality suite also requires more oversight than one might think. For every rule-abiding patron with a pass ane wristband for admission, there’s a crafty (or so they think) fan who thinks they can make their way in without a pass handed out by the CWS of Omaha Inc. employees. “All the time,” Ronspies said. “People think that they can buy a pass or sweet talk their way in here.” One gentleman Monday walked up during the Texas-Louisville game, claiming to have lost his wristband, the most common excuse, Ronspies said. Others want to bring in four friends with two passes, or come find their “friends” that “are just right inside,” she said. “I have to be the mean person sometimes and turn people away,” she smiled. It’s all part of the job.
is in charge of keeping in touch with meteorologist, she said. She can estimate that about half of the fans will leave with rain or dangerous weather in tow. “Most people bail before the sirens come on, she said. “They just leave and the won’t come back.” Hopefully, the throngs of people won’t have to carry out any of the emergency plans this year, she said. The ballpark avoided hail that hit west Omaha Monday, and stayed dry despite the fast-moving dark clouds that hovered over north downtown for most of the afternoon. How much longer the rain holds out over TD Ameritrade Park remains to be seen.

THE TEMPEST
DAYS
TOPTV DOMINION
Thursdays, 8 p.m. (SyFy)
This new series begins with an intriguing assertion: “Twenty-five years ago, God disappeared.” If you think “that can’t be good,” you’re right. Heaven turned against humanity, with the evil archangel Gabriel (Carl Beukes) waging apocalyptic war. “Dominion” is set amid the tacky ruins of Las Vegas — now known DOMINION as Vega — where two dynasties battle for political control and Gabriel’s forces mass for another attack. If that’s not enough excitement for one pilot, a lowly soldier (Christopher Egan) engages in a forbidden affair with a powerful leader’s daughter (Roxanne McKee). Plus, everyone murmurs about “The Chosen One,” who may or may not show up to save the day. “Dominion” boasts a rich cosmology, eye-popping effects and exciting action sequences. I especially like the scene where the toxic angels descend on Vega like flying monkeys and all hell breaks loose. Or, I guess I should say, all heaven breaks loose. — Dean Robbins

SHAKESPEARE ON THE GREEN
Elmwood Park, just South of UNO’s Bell Tower Live music 7 p.m. Curtain 8 p.m. Free admission www.nebraskashakespeare.com The words of The Bard fly, flash and flourish amid the birds and trees of upper Elmwood Park where Shakespeare on the Green freely flows. Such a site perfectly suits The Tempest. Marooned magus Duke Prospero and his innocent daughter Miranda live in wild, open land peopled by unpredictable indigenous creatures. The tiny territory sees a sea change; nobles from Prospero’s Italian mainland alter the dynamics. He has tricks up his sleeves. Strange things happen. Sweet ones too before the revels end. Rob Urbinati directs. One week after that debut, jolly frolics unfold in repertory as director Vincent Carlson-Brown and 12 actors deconstruct all 37 Shakespeare plays in under two hours in Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Windfield’s The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). These delights cost you nothing. But come prepared to be a groundling. Like those of yore, hope that no actual storm assails you in the open air. —Gordon Spencer

Music of our time pulses in ways you might not expect in a chamber music concert. Clearly the centerpiece is Béla Bartók’s famed groundbreaker “Sonata For Two Pianos and Percussion.” The keyboards mesh with varieties of drums and a xylophone in clusters of notes and rhythmic interplay where echoes of Brahms may resonate. Moments of intense energy contrast with intimations of contemplation and evocation of dance. Before that comes music by Ohio composers Scott Huston and Marshall Griffith. Huston’s “Quiet Movement, Kanon and Fantasy” is for two marimbas. His works for the Seattle and Cincinnati Symphonies and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra put him on major musical maps. Griffith has Omaha connections. He’s a long-time good friend of the Symphony’s principal timpanist Dwight Thomas. There’s a pre-concert talk at 2:40 p.m. —Gordon Spencer PHOX

n Summer officially starts this week and with it comes a few more local music festivals. Up next is the Omaha Solstice Reggae and World Music Festival at Riverwest Park, 233rd and West Maple Road. The show is Saturday, June 21, and scheduled performers include Rhythm Collective, the Bishops, Don Minott, Dred I Dread, the Dropsteppers, New Common Ground, Erroll Organs and Erroll Bonnick. Tickets for the one-day event are $20. For more information, visit omahasolsticereggaefest.com. n Lincoln’s The Railyard, 350 Canopy St., will host the first Nebraska Folk and Roots Festival Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 18. Organizers hope to turn the festival into an annual event. Performers include Wild Child, David Mayfield Parade, Union Specific, The Bottle Tops, Toasted Ponies, Root Marm Chicken Farm Jug Band, Evan Bartels & the Stoney Lonesomes, Jack Hotel, Bud Heavy & the High Lifes, Shawn Cole, David Boye, Gerardo Meza, and Bonehart Flannigan. Bands will play outside at the Railyard before nightly showcases held at the adjacent music venue Vega. Tickets for the entire weekend are $15. n The Faint essentially hosted their own festival this weekend with a trio of Omaha shows at three venues, which culminated with a semisecret free show at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St. I caught the first night Friday, June 13, at the Sokol Auditorium, 2234 S. 13th St. The Sokol is the one room the Faint have played the most and they attacked it as if it was home turf, mixing in a heavy dose of new songs on a set list that honed in on cuts from their Danse Macabre and Wet From Birth albums. It was a vivid reminder that no other Omaha band can get a crowd moving like the Faint. — Chris Aponick Backbeat looks at music in the metro area. Email information to backbeat@thereader.com

on the two PWF gigs, music starts at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 26, it’s Hector Anchondo, The 9’s and Canadian Juno Award Winners Jonas & The Massive Attraction. Mat D at Barley Street Mat D & The Profane Saints shares the bill with The Filter Kings at Barley Street Tavern Saturday, June 21, 9 p.m. Sioux City’s Mat D & The Profane Saints has garnered a lot of national attention with his excellent 2013 disc, Holyoke. Mat D, aka Mathew deRiso, has great songwriting chops, a big voice and an impassioned presence. “It is hard to sum up so many great stories, strong images, tight arrangements and moments of soaring artistry in a few words, but it is certainly worth a try. Holyoke is what Americana music should be. This is the way hard work sounds when you just let go and let it howl,” raves Jim Pipkin, contributor to No Depression and The Empty Bottles & Broken Souls music blogs. See reviews and hear tracks from Holyoke at matdandtheprofanesaints.com. Hot Notes Trampled Under Foot plays The Hive Friday, June 20, 9 p.m. Elkhorn’s Heartland Café hosts The Bel Airs Saturday, June 21, 7-10:30 p.m. McKenna’s presents Hector Anchondo Friday, June 29, 8 p.m. and continues their Wednesday series with Americana from Nashville’s Tom Buller Wednesday, June 25, 7 p.m. ,

hirty thousand spiders, led by members of the British Tarantula Society, gathered in Coventry on May 18 for the annual BTS exhibition, with a Socotra Island blue baboon spider taking Best in Show for first-time entrant Mike Dawkins. According to news reports, judges ignore spiders’ personalities and make their selections by objectifying the body -- seeking “shiny coats, correct proportions, an active demeanor and proper stance” (which means that “all eight legs should be upright and perfectly poised”). Veteran judge Ryan Hale said winning does not necessarily make a spider more valuable, but is likely to enhance the keeper’s reputation in the tarantula-training community.
Government in Action Susan Coppinger, 47, was promoted by the city of Boston in January to a job paying $38,800 in the Inspectional Services Department -- even though a month earlier she had been arrested for bank robbery. In fact, police said it was her second robbery of the same Santander Bank in nearby Quincy. Apparently, the city’s human resources office does not monitor mugshots on MassMostWanted. com, but in April, the city finally secured Coppinger’s resignation. -- For panicking drivers headed in an emergency to University Hospital in Tamarac, Florida, ready to turn left into the ER because of bleeding, shortness of breath, etc., the city still requires patiently waiting for the traffic light to turn green -- no matter what -- and has a $158-per violation redlight camera perfectly aimed, according to a WPLGTV investigation reported in March. The station noted that the traffic magistrate handling appeals serves at the pleasure of the city and so far has not relented on tickets involving even provable emergencies.
-- Alarmed that its internal rating system revealed that some employees actually perform better than others, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced in May that it was scrapping the system. Agency director Richard Cordray expressed dismay that the system failed to reveal worker disparities that matched up on the basis of age, race, union status and longevity with the agency, and said that until they find a system that proves, for example, that union members work just as well (or badly) as non-members, all employees will be paid as if they were doing excellent work.
Great Art! Weird Japan: When Ayano Tsukimi, 64, moved from Osaka back to her home village of Nagoro, she found a population of only 37 people and set out to “replace” those who had died or moved away -- by creating life-size stuffed dolls, with unsettling facial features, which she positions around town as if to suggest a larger population. Tsukimi estimates that she has created about 350 “inhabitants,” and, reported Global Post in May, “imagines a future where she’s outlived all her neighbors and only dolls remain.” -- Food trucks are ubiquitous in many urban areas, bringing ethnic foods to street corners, and now in the New York City neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Soho, art impresarios bring stage presentations to the insides of 24-foot trucks parked on the street. Typically, ticket-holders (fewer than 20) climb in for a 30-minute play, followed by a 15-minute “intermission” a few steps away at a neighborhood bar, and then it’s back in the truck for another half-hour. One art-truck producer blamed outlandish New York City real estate prices for the turn to mobile sites. -- China’s pre-eminent (and perhaps most terrifying) performance artist, He Yunchang, 48, acknowl-

edged to Agence France-Presse in May that he will do “anything” to advance “art” -- as long as it does not kill him. Mr. He most famously removed part of a rib on opening day of the Beijing Olympics in 2008 (on the “lucky” date of 8-8-08) and in 2010 assembled 25 people to vote on whether he should be slashed from collarbone to knee and left bloody on a bed. (Cutting won, 12-10, with three abstentions, and a doctor reluctantly made the incision.) A gallery owner in Australia told AFP that He’s “pain” and “discomfort” “have a transcendent quality” and are “silent rebukes” to Chinese people who endure hardship just for money -- ironically believing money will protect them from suffering. -- The Itella postal service of Finland announced in April that it would soon sell stamps featuring 33 designs honoring the late Finnish homoerotic artist Touko Laaksonen, better known as “Tom of Finland.” None were to be “hardcore” images, although a moreexplicit companion exhibit will open soon at Finland’s Postal Museum. (Finland, however, is not among Europe’s leaders in progressive treatment of gays.)
Police Report Dan Greding, working on contract with the city of Santa Barbara, California, was busy at work one February day installing signs on street lamps warning that only “75 Minute Parking” was permitted. On one block, three signs were called for, but the last one required Greding to drill into concrete, insert screws and wait for the concrete to dry -- which apparently took more than 75 minutes, and a passing police officer ticketed his truck. Greding’s first appeal of the citation was denied, but a second appeal was pending at press time. Least Competent Criminals The 9-1-1 call at 1:50 a.m. on May 29 came from a man who said he was lost on Deen Still Road near Polk City, Florida, and being chased by wild hogs.
A sheriff ’s deputy fairly easily “rescued” Andrew Joffe, 24, but then discovered that Joffe (a) had an active arrest warrant and (b) was in possession of a GPS device that he admitted stealing from a car that evening. The Polk County sheriff told reporters that it was “unusual” for an absconding thief, with a warrant, to bring himself to deputies’ attention like that, but acknowledged with a wink that “it does get pretty dark out on Deen Still Road in the middle of the night.”
The Aristocrats! (1) Gregory Schwartz, 40, was arrested in Clairemont, California, in March and charged with crawling under a ladies’ restroom stall door at a Big Lots store to molest a shopper. (Schwartz was dressed as a Barbie doll.) (2) Jeremy Grinnell, 42, pleaded guilty in May in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to having propped up a ladder under a couple’s bedroom window in November and climbed up to watch them having sex. (At the time, Grinnell was a local pastor and assistant professor at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary.) (3) Police in Ypsilanti, Michigan, identified a suspect in May to end a six-months’-long reign of disgust in which someone frequently defecated on the same slide in Prospect Park -even, amazingly, on the coldest days of the season. Recurring Themes (1) A 51-year-old man drowned in Adelaide, Australia, in February, the latest person to inadvisedly jump into the water to retrieve a low-price belonging -- this time, his toy boat that had gone awry. (2) A man and woman, both age 40, died in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in February -discovered in their car in a closed garage where the engine had been running, but the car had run out of gasoline. Thus, the partially clad couple appeared to be the most recent to have suffocated in that manner while having sex. ,

retend you were excited for the big screen version of “21 Jump Street.” Yeah, nobody believes you. Writers Michael Bacall and Jonah Hill teamed up with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for the most hilarious, self-aware adaptation of a Richard Greico television show ever attempted. A sequel was inevitable. Yet somehow this sequel is far better than we deserve. As promised at the end of the first film by their boss, Captain Dickson (Ice Cube), Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) have returned to go undercover as college students. Their mission is to do, literally, the same thing they did in the first movie and chase down the makers/distributors of a new drug. Deputy Chief Hardy (Nick Offerman) makes this clear in the film’s first of many explicitly meta-sequences; he explains that because Jenko and Schmidt’s first effort was an unexpected success, they have invested a great deal of money in a new venture, with the expectation that repeating what worked last time will lead to bigger re-

sults. Somewhere the guy who greenlit The Hangover Part II is nodding in approval. So Schmidt and Jenko head to M.C. State University. Schmidt gets entangled with the smoking-hot and way-out-of-his-league Maya (Amber Stevens), Jenko has an epic bromance with a college quarterback named Zook (Wyatt Russell) and pretty much everything that happened in the first film happens again, with a twist! The sight gags are bigger, the chemistry is better and the laughs are in excess of anything that could have been predicted given the schlocky pedigree of the source material. Lord and Miller not only squeeze the increasingly dry rag that is Jonah Hill to release what remains of his quality comedy liquid, but they have turned Channing Tatum into something of a deft comedian. And yet, it’s Jillian Bell who steals the show. As the unrestrained, mean-spirited Mercedes, Bell gets the most laughs per minutes of screen time, which is the only comedy metric that matters. Her verbal abuse of Jonah Hill is so savage,

so unrepentant, that it feels like the release America has desperately needed. Really, everyone in the film is great, with the exception of the luminous-but-vacant Stevens. It’s not her fault really, as the script uses her as nothing more than an attractive plot device, albeit one that leads to the biggest laugh in the film. The self-awareness that elevated the first film is turned up full blast here, with seemingly endless acknowledgments of stunt casting and an overreliance on improvisation. But Lord and Miller aren’t content to simply put lazy action movies on blast; they dispatch comedy justice upon sequels of all kinds and mock the latent homophobia that lingers in brocomedies. At the end of the day, comedies are judged by one thing and one thing only: laughs. If there’s a funnier comedy sequel than 22 Jump Street, it probably didn’t suggest the studio should market an at-home children’s shooting game with phalluses as the targets. So, 22 Jump Street wins. ,
n We lost Roger Ebert a little over a year ago, and it still hurts like hell. He isn’t just the reason I write about movies; he’s the reason I write at all and one of the most important reasons why I love movies. As a kid living in Illinois, I used to tear into the paper each Friday, digging for his reviews. I was never disappointed. Brilliant filmmaker Steve James, whose Interrupters and Hoop Dreams rank among my favorite documentaries of all time, has made a film about Roger called Life Itself. On Friday, July 18, at 7 p.m., Film Streams (filmstreams.org) will hold a special opening night screening of the film, with James doing a Q&A following the show. I’d like to think I’d be capable of asking something insightful, but I’ll likely be the one in the back sniffling. The fact that a movie critic has had that kind of influence on anyone should explain why this is a film James had to make. n The Amazing Spider-man 3 has been delayed from 2016 to 2017. Giving the stanky dumpster fire that was the second film, it would seem most beneficial to fire everyone involved and pretend the last two films never happened. Sadly, that’s not how studios work, and Sony is deeply financially invested in continuing this fugly series. The good news is, at least Emma Stone is off the hook. n How many actors would you have to go through before choosing Tom Hiddleston (Loki from The Avengers/Thor) to play country legend Hank Williams? Hiddleston will play Williams in I Saw the Light, which follows the singer’s meteoric rise and tragic collapse (aka, what every biopic of a musician does). The good news is this isn’t a film about Hank Williams Jr., which would have had to be called Are You Ready for Some Football? I’m Only Talking to White People. —Ryan Syrek Cutting Room provides breaking local and national movie news … complete with added sarcasm. Send any relevant information to film@thereader.com.
