The love of handmade craft inspired Bryan Rierson to begin a project in 2019 photographing portraits of artists and artisans, showing their hands rather than their faces. He titled it “Handmade- Portraits of the Artist’s Tools.” Rierson began with Brandon Edwards, a wet plate collodion photographer. His portrait shows his chemical-stained hands holding a 4” tintype he made. He has since photographed a variety of artisans displaying di erent mediums. Each photograph features the artist’s hands holding his or her work, or in some cases the tools or materials they use to produce the work. The viewer will be able to decipher who the subject is and what kind of art they create, but the artist’s face will be left to the imagination. All images will be shot on film, in black and white. This handmade aspect of the work helps to tie it into the handmade craft of each of his subjects.

ABOUT THE INSPIRATION FOR THE EXHIBIT

ARTIST STATEMENT BY BRYAN RIERSON I find it quite satisfying to create something tangible with my own hands. My photographic journey began in the film age when we made our creative decisions before clicking the shutter, creating the finished photograph in the darkroom with a process that felt like magic... or alchemy. The advent of digital capture took away some of that feeling of craft, and manipulating images in computer software made my photographs feel more like manufactured copies to me rather than one-of-a-kind handmade prints. I am also an amateur woodworker, so I appreciate fine handcrafted work. After years of digital photography I have returned to my roots, abandoning the digital camera in favor of traditional film for my fine art work. I photograph people — both posed portraits and real life. I have found that my subjects appreciate the fact that I am crafting their photograph with traditional methods, and often they tell me about their passion for something that they too create by hand. This shared love of handmade art inspires me to continue working to perfect my craft. !

At Blue Crab Seafood Bar, the menu o ers She Crab Soup, Fish Tacos, Fried Soft Shell Crabs, Calabash Shrimp, and fried flounder or whiting, plus several grilled fish. The latter come with a choice of several enhancements, plus two sides. I ordered Grilled Salmon with chimichurri. The fish was nicely marked from the grill, cooked rather well done. A side of Street Corn is served on the cob, decorated with cotija cheese, lime, and cilantro. Jalapeno Ranch Cole Slaw is just a little spicy-hot, not overpowering, with fairly big chunks of cabbage leaves and stalk. From Dragon Fruit Asian Fare, Garlic Noodles with Shrimp proved a wise choice. The noodles are appropriately firm, the shrimp tender and fresh. The garlic is assertive, but not overpowering. This is sprinkled with red pepper flakes, spicing things up a bit. Other interesting selections include Pork Belly Bao Buns, Sweet Potato Crab Rangoon, and several fried rice Centenarioconcoctions.istheMexican station.

On the street level, Fords Food Hall is named after the building’s original resident, Twin City Motor Company. The space started as a showroom for the Model A. The hall houses several restaurant windows, a large bar, a performance stage, and a beverage wall. To access the beverage wall, you register with the wall host, then draw your own using the provided ID. Place food orders at the window(s) you select. You get a text when your food is ready. Pick up and settle down in the open space and have dinner before moving to entertainment on one of the other floors. (This arrangement also facilitates takeout.)

Chow down with John Batchelor at ROAR

Zero Sei (06 is the telephone code for Rome) specializes in piadinas, an Italian flatbread made without yeast. Simone Conosciani, a native of Rome, Italy, is the chef. He came to the United States when he was 18 years old, working in food service most of his life. He was formerly sous-chef at Sir Winston Wine Loft and Restaurant (developed by the same team as ROAR), and also worked at Harvest Table, the food provider for Wake Forest University, as well as Vinnie’s Pizzeria.

OAR is a unique concept, incorporating casual as well as fine dining, several bars, recreational venues, and entertainment/concert space, in a reconstructed historic building. Joseph Correll is operating partner. Simon Burgess is the principal developer. Correll has lived in Winston-Salem all his life. Burgess, a Brit, is now a resident of Winston-Salem, having relocated after helming hotel and other projects in di erentAftercountries.extensive redesign and construction, ROAR began operations in January. Opening of the final dining installment took place last week. Valet parking facilitates access.

Conosciani believes that no one else in this area is serving flatbreads made this way. I tried The Sea piadina, which encloses smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella cheese, avocado basil spread, and yogurt sauce. (Cucumbers are usually included, but my wife is allergic to them, so we requested a preparation that left them o . The kitchen had no problem accommodating the request. Everything is made to order.) All ingredients bespoke quality, making me look forward to another visit to sample other versions, especially the ones based on Italian sausage, speck ham, prosciutto di Parma, and soppressattaChefsalami.Conosciani also operates Est! Est!! Est!!! Italian, one of two full-service restaurants at ROAR. It is located on the same level as Fords Food Hall, but in its own separate enclosed seating area. Whoever set up this wine list knew what they were doing. A large percentage of the selections are Italian, and thus not likely to be familiar to many guests. But small tastes are easily acquired, and bythe-glass pours are generous. My wife and

Several more formally decorated private lounges on this level can be reserved for a fee.Joey Correll’s American Street Food serves wings, burgers, chicken sandwiches, a vegetarian bean burger, plus French fries and hotdogs, as well as seafood. Correll’s seafood selection is Pawley’s Island Grouper Bites. These are bite-sized chunks of grouper — tender and fresh-tasting, lightly breaded and fried, augmented with tartar sauce. I would definitely get them again, and I would add a compliment regarding the accompanying French fries — they taste fresh cut, like real potato! I found the Chili here appealing as well — pleasantly meaty, robust in flavor, not too many beans.

Sharables include Stu ed Shrimp — filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon — and Chicharrones — pork rinds with pickled onions and salsa verde. Tacos are available with fish, chicken, beef, or vegetarian “soy meat.” The Plates section of the menu includes Fajitas; Huaraches (refried pinto beans); a seafood assembly of octopus, shrimp, and cod; and Carne Asada- my selection. This is flank steak, appropriately firm for the cut, tossed with grilled onions, corn salsa, and fried potatoes. The combination of ingredients yields a complex and really tasty result. Beans come in a separate container.

Bolognese uses wide, flat noodles, cooked al dente, blessed with a supremely rich ground meat and tomato sauce. This ranks in the top echelon of Triad pasta dishes. In fact, my initial impression places Est! Est!! Est!!! in the top echelon among all Triad Italian restaurants. Multiple return visits will be necessary to validate that perception, and I’m looking forward to them!JLCasper’s, on the second floor, is the other full-service restaurant. This is a steak house, designed to be reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. It opened last Thursday. Hard surfaces make this a highenergy, high-volume venue, especially when live bands are performing. (The one on opening night was really good!) The restaurant is named in honor of JL Casper. He made liquor in WinstonSalem around the time this building was functioning in its original incarnation. He went to jail during Prohibition, moved his operation to Mexico after he got out, but eventually returned to Winston-Salem.

In Salmone alla Siciliana, a perfectly cooked strip of fish is surrounded by kalamata olives and cooked cherry tomatoes, sharpened with capers, plus garlic, all simmered in white wine. The e ect is robust, while allowing the natural flavor of the salmon to come through clearly. Firm, fresh asparagus is the well-chosen vegetable accompaniment.

Jon Willis, previously the executive chef at Ryan’s Steakhouse, is corporate chef. He oversees all of ROAR’s dining venues.

Original jugs from The Casper Company (“Lowest Priced Whiskey House, write for confidential list”) decorate the bar. I consider the menu very well-conceived. The price range (main courses $19$42) allows you to control costs. Steaks (Certified Angus Beef) lead the entrées, of course, joined by several attractive seafood selections, as well as Joyce Farms chicken. (This is a Winston-Salem purveyor of exceptional quality fowl.) The wine list is noteworthy for both quality and value. You can’t make a mistake here. My wife ordered a Shrimp Cocktail, which fits this concept perfectly. And it’s a solid rendition of this perennially popular starter. Lightly dressed spinach leaves hosted my Fried Oyster Salad. The oysters themselves bore an unusually crisp crust. Big chunks of blue cheese occupy center stage, the whole assembly scattered with sliced figs. Another winner. For her main course, my wife tried the Kobe Burger. This is based on a half-pound of superior quality ground beef, enhanced with horse radish tru e mayonnaise, applewood smoked cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions, hosted on a brioche bun. The accompanying Pommes Frites are among the best I’ve had- crisp, bursting with real potato flavor, enhanced with tru e oil and Parmesan cheese. I got the Pork Chop. The meat — about an inch thick — bespoke quality in flavor and texture, presented over cheese grits, surrounded by tasso ham gravy, topped with fried sage leaves. Braised mustard greens, lightly touched with vinegar, complete the presentation. This is a great combination. I’ve never had better.

I liked everything we tried. The meal starts auspiciously with a freshly baked round of Italian whole wheat bread. Be careful. This tastes really good. Two people could easily fill up before food arrives. We started with Sautee’ Cozze e Vongole- clams and mussels, in a light but richly flavored tomato sauce made with white wine, enhanced with cooked cherry tomatoes and garlic. Crusty toasted slices of that whole wheat bread surround the presentation and provide a mechanism for soaking up the sauce, which you should absolutely do. (Although the restaurant is casual in ambiance, plate licking might go too far.)

Five ROAR concepts are underway in other states. Winston-Salem’s is the first to open.

The Mayfair Club, named for the developers’ company, is a bar and entertainment venue, also on the top floor. The first thing you see when you get o the elevator is a meticulously restored, polished Model A Ford auto. In addition to regular bar seating/standing, several reserve sections can be rented for larger parties. Patrons can play simulated golf or reserve a bowling lane up here. Concerts, dance, and event spaces are available as well. Roar is not simply a new restaurant. This is a new experience, quite beyond anything I have ever seen in the Triad (or anywhere else, for that matter) before.

Imagine the thrill of opening sheet music to your favorite song, placing your fingers on the piano keys, and bringing the music to life, in an instant! This phenomenal skill — “sight reading” — seems like magic. Great sight readers can look at the dots and squiggles penned by composers from long ago, or the pixelated piano versions of today’s hit songs, and make music on the spot. Thanks to this ability, these musical “magicians” enjoy many professional opportunities, and can say “Yes!” to last-minute song requests. Unfortunately, the process of learning how to sight read can feel less than magical, and more like trying to pull a rabbit out of an ordinary hat. Aspiring sight readers receive this well-intentioned advice: “Don’t stop!” Essentially, play hundreds of notes at just the right time, without having practiced the piece. Is it any wonder why so many students dread sight reading? When I first moved to Winston-Salem in 2011, I knew that I wanted to improve my capabilities as a pianist and teacher. After over a decade studying piano, I still couldn’t sight read well. Finally, the major turning point came in 2015. I donned a black “cape” backwards, and was initiated into the magic… My graduate professor at Salem College, Dr. Barbara Lister-Sink, wrapped a barber’s bib around my neck and draped it over the keys, hiding them from view, and asked me to sight read a simple piece. She had already helped me to play great works by Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms. Suddenly, as I reached out to play a little “Minuet”, I was lost — and thrilled. Finally, I knew exactly why I couldn’t sight read: I didn’t have a sight reader’s feel for the keyboard.Remember learning how to type? At first, every keystroke was a “hunt and peck” e ort. Thanks to the bumps on the F and J keys, you gradually got a feel for the “home row”, and then the neighboring keys. Today, your fingers fly on the keyboard, and you rarely need to look down. The piano keyboard also has bumps: the black keys. Great sight readers have developed a strong feel for the keys, so they don’t need to look down often. By keeping their eyes on the music, they enter a flow state: seeing notes, feeling keys, and listening to theAftermusic.the barber’s bib breakthrough, I temporarily ignored the advice, “Don’t stop!”, and took time to feel the keys while gazing at the notes on the page. Over time, thanks to feedback from my private students in Winston-Salem, we developed fun exercises that train every aspect of the skill. Learning to read music should be as accessible — and inevitable — as learning to read words. If you play piano but struggle with sight reading, I invite you to join me for my six-week course, “Sight Reading Spark,” which begins on September 14.

They were among six finalists who competed for the top prizes. Undergraduate pianist Ashley May DePaola, who hails from Fayetteville, NC, advanced to the first round of the competition.Thismarked the first year that the Rosen-Scha el Competition was open to students outside of North Carolina, yet that didn’t prevent the UNCSA students from once again dominating the competition, as they have done in previous years.

First-pace winners receive a cash prize of $2,500 and an invitation to perform a complete concerto with an orchestra during festival season following the competition. Second-place winners receive a cash prize of $2,000, third-place winners a cash prize of $1,500, the Audience Choice Award winner receives a cash prize of $1,000, and all other finalists a cash prize of $500.

In today’s ever-changing landscape, it is more important than ever to prepare students for a range of work — and to do so in a way that positions them stronger financially as they graduate. I am proud that UNCSA is able to finance all student thesis films and to provide world-class training from our experienced faculty at less than half of the tuition of peerTheprograms.”ocialUNCSA website is https:// www.uncsa.edu/. !

The $5 million dollars worth of upgrades to Truist stadium are being paid for through limited obligation bonds, which means the expenditure doesn’t have to be approved by voters. So much for democracy and transparency. And this isn’t the first time local taxpayers have been railroaded because of the same baseball park. Years ago, residents got stuck with paying $48 million dollars for construction of the stadium after private developers walked away from the project before it was completed. In a perfect world, the DASH stadium should have been built with private money, as was the beautiful Greensboro Grasshopper’s facility. In a perfect world, residents of WinstonSalem should have had a say about cost overruns and projected renovations from the get-go. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a world where a greedy baseball league can bully, threaten, and extort our elected o cials, and where residents have to pony up another cut of their meager wages, or else face having to maintain a vacated facility.

Fifty-two years ago, Winston-Salem’s minor league baseball team played in a well-worn stadium with smelly old locker rooms and no fancy area for pitchers to warm up in. And 52 years ago, I announced the proceedings from inside a rickety wooden press shack that teetered high atop the stands. Yet somehow a record number of fans attended our games, and the team brought home a championship trophy. Major League Baseball didn’t threaten us back then, and nobody worried about obligation bonds. Now as then, baseball owners depend upon cities like Winston-Salem to nurture future stars that will help keep big league co ers overflowing. In that sense, we’re more important to their bottom line than they are to ours. It’s something to think about the next time we receive an ultimatum from a bunch of rich guys. !

In the summer of 1970, I was championship,theyearSalemthenplayersgetgotbaseballschooldreamShoreannouncerpublictheaddressforErnieField.ItwasajobforahighkidwholovedbecauseItobearoundandtoknowalloftheonwhatwastheWinston-RedSox.ThattheSoxwonCarolinaLeagueand during every home game, I occupied a seat in the press box next to the legendary sports journalist Frank Spencer. Actually, it wasn’t much of a press box. What it was, was a small, rickety wooden shack that sat atop the stadium, and legend has it that sometime after my tenure, a strong wind blew the shack o its perch, and onto the ground below. Years later the Sox became the DASH and moved into a new stadium overlooking I-40. Ernie Shore Field, meanwhile, was renovated and became the home of Wake Forest University baseball. I mention all of this because I know a little something about why stadiums sometimes need to be upgraded, and because last week we learned that Major League Baseball (MLB) gave the DASH an ultimatum: either spend $5 million dollars to renovate Truist Field or else lose the franchise. Keep in mind that, unlike Ernie Shore Field, which was built in the dark ages, the new DASH stadium didn’t open until 2010, so there’s no rickety press shack to replace. In fact, the twelve-year-old facility is in great shape, but MLB likes to throw its weight around these days, and given the number of minor league teams it has already closed down, the City of WinstonSalem has no choice but to comply. So exactly what improvements is MLB demanding to be made? For one, the league wants clubhouse areas to be renovated for both home and visiting teams. The Winston-Salem Journal also reports that MLB wants improvements made to laundry and commissary areas, plus private locker rooms for female sta , coaches and umpires. They also want a second hitting and pitching tunnel that is protected from the elements, along with changes to the field, including adjusting the bullpen mounds, and a higher wall in the right field corner. No doubt the improvements will be a welcome sight to players and coaches, and they will increase the value of the stadium. But the improvements are not essential, nor will they enhance the fan experience. Speaking of fans, they’re the ones paying for the renovation, and that leads me to an insulting sticking point about this saga.

At times, Jurassic World Dominion plays like a carnival funhouse — or, if you prefer, a Jurassic Park theme-park attraction (which actually exists at Universal Studios Florida), replete with close scrapes and narrow escapes. It’s as if the filmmakers realized, rather belatedly, that the novelty of living dinosaurs in the 21st century has becomeJudgingthreadbare.bytheresults here, it most certainly has. - Jurassic World Dominion is playing in theaters and is available in an extended edition from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment on DVD ($34.98 retail), DVD/ Blu-ray combo ($39.98 retail), and 4K Ultra HD combo ($44.98 retail), each boasting bonus features.

The special e ects are fine (although we’d expect nothing less) and the action scenes well handled, but where Dominion takes a dip is in the screenplay, cowritten by Emily Carmichael and executive producer/director Colin Trevorrow, who also co-wrote the story with Derek Connolly. It’s cluttered and jumbled, exhibiting desperation as it traverses the globe and incorporates flashy action scenes more akin to a James Bond film or a Die Hard sequel (“Dino Hard”?).

Set a few years after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2017), the film finds dinosaurs dotting the landscape of Earth. The ongoing debate is whether dinosaurs and humans can co-exist peacefully. After six films, the answer should be obvious. But more to the point, do we care? Dinosaur wrangler and, perhaps, “dinosaur whisperer” Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and scientist Claire Deering (Bryce Dallas Howard) are living in seclusion and o -the-grid with their surrogate daughter Maisie (Isabella Sermon), herself a product of the genetic tinkering that resurrected those dinosaurs in the first place. But it’s not long before they’re drawn back into the fold when the operatives of BioSyn abduct Maisie to continue experimenting on her. Perhaps more worrisome is that swarms of prehistoric locusts are laying waste to the world’s crops — at least those not treated with BioSyn chemicals. Might there be a connection? Scientist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) certainly thinks so and enlists the help of former colleague Alan Grant (Sam Neill) to investigate. An ecological discourse and a depiction of corporate corruption may be the last things anyone wants to see in a Jurassic Park movie, yet here they are — taking full precedence at the expense of simple entertainment value.It’snice to see the “old guard” — Dern, Neill, Je Goldblum (as Dr. Ian Malcolm), and even B.D. Wong (as Dr. Henry Wu) — back in the fold, even if they’ve been wedged into the narrative to add some star power and nostalgia value, and reliable Campbell Scott adds some welcome quirks to the stock role of Lewis Dodgson, the tycoon behind the nefarious goings-on. (Cameron Thor played Dodgson in the original 1993 Jurassic Park, but subsequent legal problems — and a stint in prison as a result — understandably precluded his involvement here.) Then there is the matter of giving everybody something pivotal to do, while the other characters stand around waiting for their turn. As a result, there’s little suspense wondering who will survive and who won’t. As has long been a staple of the series, the dinosaurs tend to be discriminating in their victims — specifically targeting bad guys as opposed to good guys.

SNIPER: ROGUE MISSION (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment): Oliver Thompson, who wrote and co-produced 2020’s Sniper: Assassin’s End, wrote and directed the latest, R-rated installment of the long-running action franchise, with Chad Michael Collins encoring as a highly skilled CIA sniper who goes rogue to demolish a sex-tra cking ring aided by Ryan Robbins and Sayaka Akimoto (also returning from Assassin’s End, with Josh Brener, Brendan Sexton III, and Dennis Haysbert caught in the crossfire, available on DVD ($19.99 retail) and Blu-ray ($25.99 retail).

The 4K Ultra HD combo ($39.95 retail) includes audio commentary and theatrical trailer.

The parallels to the Hollywood Blacklist (at the time) and corruption (in general) remain timely and all-too-believable, and Kubrick’s resolutely unsentimental approach to the story lends it a cold-blooded but compelling impact. The cast, which also includes Adolphe Menjou (himself an outspoken supporter of the Blacklist), Richard Anderson, Wayne Morris, Emile Meyer and Bert Freed, could hardly be better. Paths of Glory is essentially a perfect movie, and has lost none of its power over the years.

CANDYMAN (Scream Factory/Shout! Factory): Director Bernard Rose’s awardwinning 1992 adaptation of executive producer Clive Barker’s short story The Forbidden stars Virginia Madsen as a graduate student investigating urban legends who unwittingly conjures up the title character (an iconic turn by Tony Todd), a murdered 19th-century slave who exacts bloody retribution. The urban setting, exemplified by Chicago’s Cabrini Green apartments, meshes well with the story’s darker historical aspects, but despite a superb Philip Glass score and some terrific jolts this continually lapses back into exploitation territory. Nevertheless, it became a cult classic, spawned a franchise, and o ers a solid cast including Xander Berkeley (as Madsen’s unfaithful, disbelieving husband), Vanessa A. Williams, Ted Raimi, Rose himself, and Kasi Lemmons (a real scene-stealer as Madsen’s predictably illfated best friend), available in a 4K Ultra HD combo ($39.98 retail) boasting such bonus features as the original unrated director’s cut and R-rated theatrical version, multiple audio commentaries, retrospective interviews, theatrical trailer, and more.

The trial, not surprisingly, is a sham, designed to deflect the blame from Mireau, and Dax — who represents the defendants — is utterly outraged. Not that it matters. It was always fun to watch Kirk Douglas in hair-trigger mode, and he had plenty of opportunity to do so here, as he castigates his superiors for their corruption and cowardice allowing three innocent men to be executed.

MURDER AT YELLOWSTONE CITY (RLJE Films): Producer/director Robert Gray’s well-made but ponderous Western whodunit details the murder of prospector Zach McGowan in the titular town, and how it a ects the local population. Too much talk, not enough action. Gabriel Byrne plays the local lawman, executive producer Thomas Jane the local minister, and Isaiah Mustafa (very good) as the prime suspect, with Richard Dreyfuss (also an executive producer), Anna Camp, Aimee Garcia, Nat Wol , Lew Temple, John Ales, and Isabella Ruby (in her feature debut) on hand, available on DVD ($29.96 retail) and Blu-ray ($27.97 retail), each replete with bonus features including audio commentary, deleted scenes, and more.

BABY ASSASSINS (Well Go USA Entertainment): Yugo Sakamoto wrote, directed, and edited this award-winning action extravaganza (originally titled Beibi warukyure) stars Akari Takaishi and Saori Izawa as the title characters, a pair of highly skilled teen-aged assassins and roommates whose skills are put to the test when they clash with the Japanese Yakuza and spark an all-out gang war. In Japanese with English subtitles, available on DVD ($19.99 retail) and Blu-ray ($29.98 retail).

LITTLE MAN, WHAT NOW? (Kino Lorber Studio Classics): The Blu-ray bow ($24.95 retail) of director Frank Borzage’s 1934 adaptation of Hans Fallada’s novel Kleiner Mann — was nun? with Margaret Sullavan and Douglass Montgomery as an impoverished couple who move to Berlin to seek their fortune, only to encounter the Third Reich in its inexorable rise to power. Lots of familiar folk on hand: Alan Hale, Mae Marsh, George Meeker, Fred Kohler, Paul Fix, Alan Mowbray, Frank Reicher, and Hedda Hopper. Bonus features include audio commentary and trailers.

“HARRY WILD”: SERIES 1 (Acorn/RLJ Entertainment): Jane Seymour (also a coexecutive producer) essays the title role of retired literature professor Harriet “Harry” Wild, whose restlessness manifests itself when she begins to assist her policeman son Charlie (Kevin Ryan) with his investigations — whether he likes it or not — in all eight episodes from the inaugural 2022 season of the light-hearted mystery series created by executive producer David Logan, with Rohan Nedd, Amy Huberman, Stuart Graham, and Paul Tylak rounding out the regular cast, available in a threeDVD collection ($49.99 retail), replete with bonus features.

ALI & AVA (Greenwich Entertainment/ Kino Lorber): Writer/director Clio Barnard’s award-winning drama focuses on the unlikely relationship that develops between its titular characters, an unhappily married Pakistani immigrant (Adeel Akhtar) and a recently widowed tutor (Claire Rushbook), which is complicated by the biases of those around them. Simple yet sincere, with the two leads in terrific form, and a fine depiction of the working-class milieu in contemporary England, available on DVD ($19.95 retail).

DVD PICK OF THE WEEK:

TERROR OUT OF THE SKY (Kino Lorber Studio Classics): With Irwin Allen’s bigbudget The Swarm poised to hit theaters (where it promptly bombed), Lee H. Katzin directed this watchable if predictable 1978 CBS-TV sequel to the 1976 NBC-TV movie The Savage Bees (one of the better killer-bee movies), with Tovah Feldshuh (replacing Gretchen Corbett from the earlier film) as a heroic scientist determined to vanquish a swarm of killer bees, backed by a star-studded cast including Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Dan Haggerty, Richard Herd, Lonny Chapman, Steve Franken, Philip Baker Hall, and Charles Hallahan (in his TV-movie debut), available on Blu-ray ($24.95 retail), replete with audio commentary and trailers.

PATHS OF GLORY (Kino Lorber Studio Classics)

This superb 1957 anti-war drama firmly established Stanley Kubrick among the front rank of filmmakers — a position he essentially held for the rest of his life — and remains one of the best (and shortest!) films he ever made.

Adapted from Humphrey Cobb’s fact-based novel by no less a triumvirate than Kubrick, Calder Willingham and Jim Thompson, the setting is France during World War I, the film stars Kirk Douglas as Col. Dax, the commanding o cer of a platoon ordered to undertake a suicide mission against the Germans. The result is a slaughter, and Dax’s men refuse to continue. Col. Mireau (George Macready), who ordered the mission, is determined to court-martial 100 soldiers, yet only three — Cpl. Paris (Ralph Meeker), Pvt. Ferol (Timothy Carey), and Pvt. Arnaud (Joe Turkel, who died in June) — are tried.

[VIDEO VAULT] BY MARK BURGER

KILL A DRAGON (Kino Lorber Studio Classics): Taking its “inspiration” from Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (1954), this slick but predictable 1967 action opus (originally titled Nitro) stars Jack Palance as a mercenary hired by Chinese villagers to rid them of sadistic smuggler Fernando Lamas and his minions, with Aldo Ray, Alizia Gur, Don Knight (in his feature debut), and Kam Tong (in his final feature) caught in the crossfire, available on Blu-ray ($24.95 retail).

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM AUGUST 24-30, 2022 YES! WEEKLY 13

TEY (Kino Lorber): Alain Gomis scripted and directed this award-winning 2012 drama (originally titled Aujourd’ hui and also released as Today) is a superb showcase for leading man Saul Williams, in a soulful turn as a resident of modernday Dakar who awakens one day knowing it will be his last day alive, then embarks on a journey of self-discovery as he is celebrated by the community and attempts to atone for his past misdeeds. A colorful, occasionally satirical examination of Senegalese customs and culture, as well as a successful character study. In French and Wolof with English subtitles, available on DVD ($19.95 retail). THEY WENT THAT-A-WAY AND THATA-WAY (Kino Lorber Studio Classics): Tim Conway scripted and stars in this flimsy 1978 farce in which he and former kiddie host Chuck McCann play bumbling cops working undercover in a maximum-security prison — with the expected slapstick results. Such familiar folk as Dub Taylor, Richard Kiel, Reni Santoni, Grace Zabriskie, Joe Dorsey, Hank Worden, Lenny Montana, and Dukes of Hazzard veterans Sonny Shroyer and Ben Jones join in the silly shenanigans, available on Blu-ray ($24.95 retail).

— A 911 operator in San Luis Obispo, California, received a call on Aug. 12 from the Zoo to You facility in Paso Robles, but when the dispatchers tried to call back, there was no answer, ABC7-TV reported.

Keisha Bazley, a mother of nine children in Houston, turned to Child Protective Services for help with her 14-year-old daughter, who had been running away and getting into trouble at school. Instead, according to Fox26 Houston, her daughter told her that a “worker had been telling her she should (become a prostitute),” so the girl videotaped the CPS support sta member. “If me, the parent, was to do something like this to my child,” Bazley said, “I would be called a horrible parent. I would lose my kids.” She filed an o cial complaint, and the commissioner of CPS in Texas, Jamie Masters, came to Houston to personally apologize to Bazley and her daughter. The worker was dismissed from her position on Aug. 10. [Fox26 Houston, 8/14/2022]

Sheri ’s deputies responded to the zoo, but no one there would take credit for the call — except one 10-month-old Capuchin monkey named Route. The deputies determined that the monkey had gotten his hands on a cellphone left in a golf cart and made the call.

“We’re told Capuchin monkeys are very inquisitive and will grab anything and everything,” the sheri ’s o ce remarked.

Ethan had discovered 82-year-old Nina Lipscomb, who had been missing for four days. Lipscomb was alive but disoriented; her daughter said she had wandered away from a nearby home where she was visiting family. “Her sister lived here in this house, but she passed away in March,” Karen Lipscomb said. The Lipscombs and the Moores got together to celebrate the little boy who probably saved Nina’s life. “It took a child ... that was being worked by God,” Brittany said. [ABC4, 8/16/2022]

THEY BURIED THE LEAD Skydiver Gary Connery, 53, was sentenced in Oxford Crown Court in England on Aug. 16, the BBC reported, for grievous bodily harm after he threw his Tanyagirlfriend,Brass,down a staircase. The assault, which shattered Brass’ shoulder, took place in October 2020. The now-infamous abuser previously achieved his 15 minutes of fame when he served as Queen Elizabeth II’s stunt double in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, when he and “James Bond” (another stunt double) leapt out of a helicopter and parachuted into the Olympic stadium. After the stunt, Connery told the BBC it had been “an amazing experience.” Perhaps he can relive it during his 18 months in prison. [BBC, 8/16/2022]

FLORIDA James Hunt, 41, and his girlfriend got into it at a Clearwater, Florida, Burger King on Aug. 13, because “the victim was not eating her food,” The Smoking Gun reported. When the 53-year-old woman left the restaurant, Hunt followed her and launched his cheeseburger at the back of her head, allegedly causing her to fall over a curb onto the ground and hit her chin and lip. How did cops know? There was blood on her shirt and shorts and cheese in her hair. Hunt admitted hitting her with the cheeseburger but didn’t think it caused her to fall down. Nonetheless, he was charged with felony domestic battery and held on $15,000 bond. [The Smoking Gun, 8/15/2022] !

SURPRISE, SURPRISE Residents of South Auckland, New Zealand, were the lucky — or not-solucky — recipients of the contents of an abandoned storage container, Stu reported. But when they got the loot home, they discovered a surprise among the items: human remains. The new owners called police on Aug. 11, whose first priority was to identify the remains, detective inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaeula said. A neighbor who previously worked at a nearby crematorium noted “a wicked smell” coming from the home: “I knew straight away and I thought, where’s that coming from,” he said. His mother reported that detectives and forensic teams had been seen recoiling in shock from the scene. The investigation is ongoing. [Stu , 8/12/2022]

PRECOCIOUS — Aug. 12 started as a pretty typical day for 1 1/2-year-old toddler Ethan and his mom, Brittany Moore, of Senoia, Georgia. They were playing with bubbles in the backyard of their home when Ethan chased one to the fence and noticed something in the woods beyond, ABC4 News reported. When his mom asked him what he saw, he said, “Feet.”

The 11th annual John Coltrane International Jazz and Blues Festival will be held at High Point’s Oak Hollow Festival Park, located at 1841 Eastchester Drive, on September 3-4, 2002.The late Coltrane was born in Hamlet, North Carolina, in 1926. He grew up in High Point having graduated from William Penn High School (now Penn Gri n School of the Arts) at the age of 16. He first learned to play the saxophone there, influenced by Lester Young and Johnny Hodges. After graduation, he would move to Philadelphia, where he would continue to study his craft and eventually go on to become the pioneer of the free jazz movement.Coltranewould die from liver disease on July 17, Festival1967.organizer Joe Williams said that while the year has been trying, many people are looking for relief in various forms.“We hope that we can do our little part with something called the Coltrane Jazz and Blues Festival. It brings people together from all parts of the country and they come and share one common interest — music,” he said. According to Williams, the cost of inflation on the heels of COVID has hit the entertainment industry pretty hard. While ticket sales have gone well, things seem to cost more. “In some cases, things have doubled the price. We are fortunate to have some state support this year and that has been a tremendous help.”

“We hold more people in solitary for longer periods than any other country, and where many use it as a last result, for us, it’s routinely a control mechanism. And we incarcer ate so many people that are dealing with addiction issues and mental illness.

After she was captured near the Syrian border in 2009, the Iranian government held her in solitary confinement for 410 days as a political prisoner. After her release and return to the US, she worked through her trauma by reaching out to people who have survived or are experiencing solitary confinement here. Their trauma informs her play The BOX, based on the two-year investigation she conducted of Solitary Watch and UC Berkeley’s Center for Law and Society, in which she conducted interviews with over 75 prisoners kept in isolation across the U.S.

The arrest of Shourd and her friends Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal led to a campaign by Amnesty International for their release, which only occurred after payment of $465,000 was arranged by the Sultan of Oman.

“I was working as a journalist and living in Syria in 2009, when I was held political hostage by the Iranian government. I was captured near an unmarked border and kept in solitary confinement for 410 days. I and two other hikers were captured behind a tour site that was in Iraqi Kurdistan. This was before ISIS, and no American had ever been captured or killed there, but we hiked too far, and fell into their hands.”

“I reached out to prisoners in the US, in an attempt to understand what had happened to me. A lot of people around me cared about me very much, but weren’t formerly incarcerated and had never been tortured in confinement. Those letters or correspondence led to an investigation, a series of articles, and my anthology Hell is a Very Small Place. And then someone suggested I adapt those stories into a play, and so that’s what I did, and wrote The BOX.”

Shourd described her play as “a story of

The BOX premiered at Z Space in San Francisco in 2016, where it was directed by Cuban playwright Michael John Garcés, and was performed on Alcatraz Island in 2019. Now, a new production, co-directed by Shourd (who also plays a corrections officer), is coming to the Ramkat in Winston-Salem on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as part of the End of Isolation Tour presented by the Pulit zer Center and Art for Justice, with the Ramkat performances held in partner ship with MUSE Winston-Salem, the NC Justice Center, and Disability Rights NC.

Shourd described her own experiences as a survivor.

Political prisoner turned playwright wants to bring others out of The BOX

Shourd said that, along with the testimony of survivors, her play is based on the California prisoner hunger strike of 2013, organized by inmates held in indefinite long-term solitary at Pelican Bay State Prison. It lasted for two months, by which time it had spread to 29,000 maximum-security inmates across the state, and ended after lawmakers agreed to hold hearings on the practice of solitary confinement. It also resulted in a lawsuit alleging that long-term solitary confinement violated the constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punish ment. The 2015 settlement officially ended indeterminate solitary confine ment in California, but allegations of constitutional violations continue.

“We have been on the road since July 11,” said Shourd, “and Winston-Salem is the ninth of the ten cities we are visiting.

We are going to cities that are on the front lines of changing policies, so it’s legislative theater. We are going to places where there is a movement, often one led by formerly incarcerated people, and our goal is to elevate their efforts and the movement. Half of our cast are survivors of solitary confinement.”

The play’s title refers to a solitary confinement pod containing three veteran prisoners who’ve been inside for years or decades. “And then a new kid comes in acting tough, and the prisoner that is an elder, an OG former Black Panther, mentors the young guy and tries to help him have hope and keep him from decompensating and getting desperate. The guys band together and decide to protest their condition.”

“It was designed for the same purpose, to crush and disappear and intimidate people. It was used against me to silence my voice because I had a certain level of power inside that prison because I was a valuable political hostage. And it’s often used for that same purpose here, to disappear organizers, people who are standing up for human rights, people that have more dignity and strength than the guards can tolerate. It’s also used just to get people that guards can’t handle, or don’t have the resources to treat or care for, out of sight and out of mind.”Herplay challenges the dominant narrative of who ends up in solitary confinement and why.

“I was in solitary for 23 hours a day and then taken into a slightly larger area they call an open-air cell, which in this country is called the dog run. I had a window really high up from I couldn’t see anything but the sky. A lot of people don’t have a window at all.”

“I corresponded with Victor for a year, and visited him at State Pelican Bay. I also got to know his daughter Reyna very well, and one of the characters in the play has a daughter, and there are visitation scenes between them.” She said she and her partners organized this tour in response to the waning of the “We’repandemic.askingpeople to remember that we’re all coming out of isolation, and for a lot of us, our fundamental views have shifted towards understanding our interdependence, and also the harmful e ects of isolation. But for prisoners, the isolation has gotten far worse. Solitary confinement increased, at one point by 500%, and is still far higher than it was before the pandemic began. And so, people understand, through their own experience of being separated from loved ones, how harmful isolation is, and how necessary human contact is, but our policies remain the same. So, this tour is looking at the legislation that needs to be passed, that’s already written and ready to be voted on.” !

This, she said, demonstrates the failure of the US prison system, which she believes has completely given up on the idea of rehabilitation.

resistance to solitary confinement, which shows both the horror of the practice and the deep end of our prison system, as well as the humanity of the people subjected to it.” When asked why she responded to her confinement abroad by writing about others confined here, she called the conditions exactly the same.

“It’s based on the completely false belief that if you punish people harshly, they will reform. There is just no evidence of that. People say, what’s the alternative to solitary confinement? That’s like saying what’s the alternative to beating your children. You shouldn’t do it, period. The alternative is a meaningful way to fill their time and build a better future and heal and be accountable for whatever harm they’ve done. Studies show that solitary confinement increases violence in the prison overall. It’s not doing what it’s supposed to do; it’s making an already broken system worse.”

“People think it’s the mass murderers and the most violent, but most often, it’s the most vulnerable population, who shouldn’t be in prison in the first place. The mentally ill, LGBTQ, juveniles, pregnant women, and people that are victims of violence, are put in solitary confinement for their own protection, and these conditions make anyone with pre-existing conditions of mental illness or trauma far, far worse. People decompensate and end up acting out and resorting to self-harm. They get longer sentences in the hole, and are often just dumped back into the streets.”

She said that one of the many people whose experiences shaped her work is Rafael Cacique, on whom she based the character of Victor Santiago, played by Gabriel Montoya in this production.

Everything in the room is mic’d at all times, and we never play without hittingRefl‘record’.”ectingon his relationship with Hinshaw, “I’ve been playing music with Lee since we were 16,” Taylor said. “And even when we lived in di erent places we always stayed in touch and sent each other demos,” Taylor added, referencing his eight-year stint in New York City (after graduating from the classical guitar program at the UNC-School of the Arts high school.) “Lee and I are very competitive in the best way, there’s a healthy creative friction in our process that makes the songsChildhoodwork.” friction helped introduce Taylor to guitarist Jonathan Massa. “I’ve known Jonathan since I was about 5 years old,” he said. “I would stare at him down in the cafeteria seething with jealousy over his Krusty the Clown t-shirt because my parents wouldn’t let me watch the Simpsons for some reason.” The two ended up as friends who studied guitar with the same teacher as teenagers. Together, Withdrew resonates a particular intimacy across washed-out indie vibes and “cosmic American” music that flows through the 2021 album, “Wistful For The Mystik.”

“We recorded this during that thing that happened in 2020,” Taylor noted, recalling the production as therapeutic for himself and Hinshaw. “Despite the fact that Jonathan and Josh had to record their parts separately because of all the distancing and scares …etc,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of the way it turned out and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.”

The album, “Holding Court,” is set for release later in the year — with a vinyl component Taylor hopes to have out by February. “I can’t give a definitive date because of how backed up the pressing plants are these days,” he lamented, with a positive turn and praise for recording engineer Doug Williams and his ElectroMagnetic Radiation Recorders studio. “I really can’t stress enough how good Doug is at recording,” Taylor said, “and how easy he is to work with. He’s got a crazy diverse collection of gear you won’t find anywhere else and a lot of it he’s repaired, modified and maintains diligently.

KATEI CRANFORD is a Triad music nerd who enjoys spotlighting artists and events.

Doug is the first person I’ve worked with who knows how to coax you into delivering your best performance by creating a relaxing, unpretentious environment.”

Extending to Monstercade, Taylor reinforced the open environments in which they thrive. “It’s pretty much one of the only judgment-free places that I know of in Winston,” he said. “We feel completely at ease there — and that usually lends to a truthful and unhindered performance.”

The latest single from Withdrew, “Any Other Direction,” is out now. They’ll be at Monstercade with Swansgate and Lofield on Aug 26. !
