Thompson’s coal mining
career began in 1964. He has worked in mines for Pittsburg, Midway, Dotikki mine in Clay, Ky., and Freeman. In 1976, he became a federal mine inspector, which he did for 17 years. Thompson will officially be crowned Old King Coal during the Princess Flame Pageant at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 7, in Paschedag Auditorium at Frankfort Community High School. A spokesperson for festival said the committee “is proud to add Jim Thompson’s name to the illustrious list of hardworking coal miners who have toiled and risked their lives mining coal and
were given the distinction of Old King Coal, a tradition that began in 1941 during the first Old King Coal Festival.” The 2013 Old King Coal Festival kicks off at 1:30 Saturday, Sept. 7, with the Princess Tea at Trinity United Methodist Life Center in West Frankfort. The Princess Flame
Pageant begins at 7 p.m. that evening at the high school. Downtown West Frankfort will be bustling with activities on all four days. Free nightly entertainment on the main stage each evening will feature Third Story, Cache River Band, Egyptian Combo and the Brat Pack.

Auditions for staged reading of “8” at McLeod Theater
online in advance or at the door. Three of seven scheduled matches have been announced. Christian Rose will face “Big” Sue Jackson, the Estonian Thunderfrog goes to war with “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon and Gary the Barn Owl goes toe to toe with the Proletariat Boar of Moldova.

CARBONDALE — The SIU Department of Theater has set auditions for a staged reading of “8” at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, in McLeod Theater at SIU. “8,” by Dustin Lance Black, is a docudramatization of the 2010 court case challenging the legality of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California. The play, part agit-prop theater (plays with an explicity political message) and part docudrama, has been the subject of readings across the country as various courts rule on the constitutionality of the ban.

The Big Apple Festival returns to Murphysboro BY ADAM TESTA THE SOUTHERN
ruits and vegetables come and go with each passing season, enjoying a short life. Throughout Southern Illinois, communities celebrate the hopefully bountiful harvest of many of the region’s finest products. From the Peach Festival in Cobden to Corn Days in Carmi, there’s no shortage of festivals and fun. But one of the oldest hails from the seat of Jackson County, where the city of Murphysboro hosts the annual Apple Festival each September. The city’s orchards are largely an element of the past, but the festival embraces that heritage and aims at a goal of “Planting Seeds for Tomorrow,” as reflected in the theme of this year’s event, which officially begins Wednesday, Sept. 11. The tens of thousands of people who visit downtown Murphysboro through the course of the week will find a variety of festival events, from applethemed contests and musical entertainment to food vendors and a special exhibit from the city’s renowned museum. Attendees can find a diverse array of Murphysboro and apple-themed items at the general store, Appletime Bakery, Appletime Cider Wagon and festival information booth. All these attractions will be open throughout the course of the festival. The General John A. Logan Museum will present the special exhibit “Silent Witness to History: Murphysboro’s City Cemetery” at the Murphysboro Event Center. Executive Director Mike Jones has spent countless hours researching the stories contained in the city’s hallowed grounds, and this exhibit will
F
explore some of his finding. Those with competitive spirit can enter any of a number of different competitions, from apple peeling to pie eating. The spirit of fun is at the core of each contest. And, of course, the popular carnival games and rides return to the Midway. But for children, it doesn’t have to be all fun and games — although there’s nothing wrong with it if it is — as there are also hands-on learning and educational opportunities being sponsored by the Jackson County Farm Bureau. The Apple Festival offers something for everyone. While the event honors the city’s past, it’s also a way to look forward to the future and to begin building a sense of hometown pride in local children. After all, it’s all about “Planting Seeds for Tomorrow.” Festival events include:

SEMO District Fair to feature Brice, The Mavericks and Three Dog Night COUNTRY SCENE Vince Hoffard
s elementary and college students settle in for another long school year, the marathon season of fairs and festivals throughout the tri-state region nears its end. But, there’s still at least one major event left on the schedule. Country stars Lee Brice and The Mavericks will join rock-and-roll icon Three Dog Night to form a powerhouse grandstand schedule for the 155th SEMO District Fair, which runs Sept. 7-14 in
A
Cape Girardeau. Three Dog Night will perform on Thursday, Sept. 12. The Mavericks take the stage on Friday, Sept. 13. Lee Brice will be the grand finale of the annual event on Saturday, Sept. 14. All concerts start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $38 for each show and will be available at the gate, online at www.semo fair.com or by calling 800-455-3427. Established in 1855 as the Southwestern Missouri Agricultural Society, the first fair took place before the start of the Civil War in a shady grove on the Bierwirths’ Farm, an area which is now South Frederick Street. General Nathenial W. Watkins of nearby
Jackson served as the first fair president. Today, the fair is a sponsor-driven operation staffed by volunteer labor and co-governed by the Chambers of Commerce in Cape Girardeau and Jackson. Three Dog Night is a trio from Los Angeles that dominated the Billboard charts during the early 1970s with tunes like “Eli’s Com-ing,” “Shambala,” “An Old Fashion Love Song” and “Never Been to Spain.” The group’s signature song is “Joy to the World,” which topped the charts for six weeks in 1971 and was written by actor/songwriter Hoyt Axton. Formed in 1967 by

vocalist Cory Wells, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton, the trio was evenly matched vocally. The band would top the singles chart three times. Wells sang lead on “Mama Told Me (Not to Come).” Negron was the voice behind the magical “Joy to the World.” Hutton belted out “Black and White.” The hits started to flow after the threesome hired drummer Floyd Sneed, keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon, lead guitarist Michael Allsup and bass guitarist Joe Schermie as backing musicians and adopted the name Three Dog Night, a term used for the coldest night in the Australian outback. The band sold more than 40 million albums for Dunhill Records. While many classic rock bands carry on with dramatically different line-ups, Three Dog Night is largely still intact with vocalists Hutton and Wells and musicians Greenspoon and Allsup. Longtime members Pat Bautz (drums) and Paul Kingery (bass) fill out the current rendition of the band. As Country Music Association Vocal Group of the Year in 1995 and 1996, The Mavericks created a sound difficult to stuff in the cookiecutter world of country music. Founded in Miami in 1989, the band has charted hits like “All You Ever Do is Bring Me Down,” “O What a Thrill,” “What a Crying Shame” and “There Goes My Heart.” Cutting their teeth in the punk/alternative rock clubs of Southern Florida, where they often shared billing with Marilyn

Manson, the band eventually evolved into a Cajun sound and gained the attention of Nashville insiders with a cover of Hank Williams’ classic “Hey Good Lookin’.” The Mavericks are ultimately powered by the smoky, unique vocals of lead singer Raul Malo. Behind his instantly identifiable voice, the band won a Grammy Award in 1995 for “Here Comes the Rain.” The group has also won three Academy of Country Music Awards. Malo left the band in 2004 but returned last year and the band signed with Big Machine Records. A new album, “In Time,” was released in February. Lee Brice is one of the top new faces in Music City. He made an immediate impact on the industry as a singer and songwriter. “Love Like Crazy,” the title song from his debut album, stayed on the Billboard charts for a record 56 weeks. He topped the charts with “A Woman like You” in 2011 and is also the voice
behind the emotional “I Drive Your Truck.” Attending Clemson University on a football scholarship, an injury crushed Brice’s dream of a career in the National Football League. The 33year-old South Carolina native already had another plan of action. He was a gifted tunesmith and had polished his vocal skills enough in church that he had won three talent contests in high school. In 2007, he had a breakout year. He inked a tune for newcomer Jason Aldean and released debut single “She Ain’t Right.” More importantly, he penned chart-topping single “More Than a Memory” for superstar Garth Brooks. Brice is currently moving up the charts with his summer anthem “Parking Lot Party,” written by the prolific team of Rhett Akins, Luke Laird and Thomas Rhett. VINCE HOFFARD can be

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are struggling to survive in ‘Gravity.’
It’s time to get serious, with pictures that engage the mind, heart and emotions BY BETSY SHARKEY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
LOS ANGELES — Lost at sea, lost in space, lost children, lost freedom, lost homeland, lost money, lost identity, lost jobs, lost hope, lost faith, lost lives: This fall, this is film. This is serious. I can’t wait. September always brings a change in the temperature of what we see on screen. The Oscar contenders start showing up, the significant films with more to consider than, say, “The Wolverine” or “World War Z.” As much popcorn fun as “Wolverine,” “War” and the like might be, they don’t ask much of us. Not so the fall. But 2013 is coursing with a fierceness that we haven’t seen in a while. It ripples through U.S. and international films alike. Even the titles suggest a certain weight: “12 Years a
Slave,” “Prisoners,” “Mandela,” “All Is Lost,” “Gravity,” “Devil’s Knot,” “Night Moves” and “Dangerous Acts,” to name a few in the queue. The shake-up begins in earnest today when the Toronto International Film Festival opens with the world premiere of “The Fifth Estate.” Director Bill Condon’s dramatic thriller is about that modern-day barbarian at the gate, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange. Roughly 400 barbarians are right behind him in the festival’s jam-packed lineup. Most seem intent on crashing through the conventional over the next 10 days. For those who worry I’m suggesting that the movies will be dreary, that couldn’t be further from the case. The topics may be dark but the entertainment factor will not dim in the slightest. If anything, films that
engage mind, heart and emotions tend to be the most satisfying, the most memorable. It is fitting that we start the season with the story of a divisive antihero who some applaud, others despise. No matter which side of the line you stand on, Assange is someone who has made all of us think — think. Thinking deeper, longer, harder and especially, rethinking, seems to be what filmmakers have in mind at the moment. “The Fifth Estate” features Benedict Cumberbatch as the social network renegade who reframed the idea, the implications and the debate over exposing secrets. State secrets. Corporate secrets. Personal secrets. Damaging secrets. Later in the year, Leonardo DiCaprio will surface as a keeper of secrets in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” playing a
high-rolling stockbroker deep in duplicity. Director Martin Scorsese and DiCaprio usually make menace magnificently together. For the other 99 percent, the Occupy Wall Street collective tries its hand at a documentary that lands in theaters later this week: “99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film.” They make the economic downturn personal. There is a rich stream of films examining other, even starker existential crises. “Gravity” stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as engineer and astronaut untethered, their space ship a billion tiny pieces, their life support slipping away. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, who wrote the script with son Jonas, the exploration is not space but life and why we cling to it so fiercely. SEE MOVIES / PAGE 16

‘Riddick’ Vin Diesel returns as ‘Riddick’ in the latest installment of the franchise that begin with 2000’s ‘Pitch Black’ and continued with 2004’s ‘Chronicles of Riddick.’ Diesel reprises his role as the titular antihero, a dangerous escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy. In the latest chapter, Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless and must survive. Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable and Katee Sackhoff co-star in the film, directed by David Twohy. It is rated R and opens Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion.

the weight the actor lost to play a homophobic man fighting the disease but the weight of the subject matter for McConaughey, who is settling so comfortably into his prime. Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “August: Osage County,”
comes to the big screen with its devilishly divided house and biting satire in incredibly good hands. Directed by John Wells, its cast is a sprawling ensemble of A-listers including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, Ewan McGregor, Dermot Mulroney and the
very busy Mr. Cumberbatch. Even the pure comedies have an edge this fall. Jason Bateman does double duty as star and director of a spelling bee gone south in “Bad Words.” Jennifer Aniston and Isla Fisher are excons who team up for
“Life of Crime.” Jay Baruchel will get into “The Art of the Steal.” And Jesse Eisenberg is dealing with the ultimate identity thief in “The Double.” It’s loosely based on a Dostoyevsky novella... This is fall, this is serious. I can’t wait.
