Olive Geo/Solar pg 7 OF, BY, AND FOR ITS READERS SINCE 1976 Barricades: Up & Down pg 6 OCTOBER 2017 • VOLUME 42, NUMBER 10 AWE OF AUTUMN AWE OF LONGEVITY A Sophal and Nevy Nhep greeted scores of past custom- ers and served “one last meal” to long time customers like these two women in front of their new Food Service truck replacing their Best Steaks and Gyros business at Chicago W Crossings (Franklin Avenue/Chicago Avenue Intersection). This future leader will be able to walk through the English curtain at will and leave it all behind having learned Objibwe and/or Dakota cul- ture, traditions, and language; and the wholeness of the circle of life. He will understand how important autumn is…the timing of the leaves that turn to color – bronze, yellow, orange, red – signal when they choke off the flow of nutrients to their leaves whether winter will be early or late. Photo: Jewell Arcoren AUTUMN IN OUR HEARTS E BY LAURA WATERMAN WITTSTOCK Before cars, before buildings, before the incessant consumption of natural resources, there was another population that went through the seasons, adjusted to disasters, fell in battle, and buried their dead. In less than 100 years, European settlers managed to wipe out over 90% of the old growth forest in what is now Minnesota. Before the arrival of the French and the Ojibwe, the river along what is now St. Paul, bustled with the canoe and watercraft traffic of the Dakota people and their Hidatsa allies. The canoes, heavy with rice and other grains, headed down the river to what is now St. Louis where a huge trading T center was supported by the exchange of goods and services of many tribes. They came back with medicines, new foods, and robes for the winter to add to what they already tanned. It was labor intensive and women were at the forefront of the trading. The men hunted and defended the villages of the people. In 1834 the missionaries Samuel W. and Gideon H. Pond with Stephen R. Riggers and Thomas S. Williamson put together a Christian version of written Sophal Dakota. The resulting dictionary, still in print, has such words as pickle, Read Peter Molenaar’s story on the closure of picnic, pictorial, picture frame, and physics. This was far from the and Nevy Nhep’s restaurant on page 11 reality of the Dakota people, who came from the stars and understood every plant and tree, every change of season, and every animal in their U territory. The printed words stunted their knowledge generation after generation until it seemed they might disappear. But they did not disappear. The Dakota language, rich and full of meaning and nuance, moved beyond the curtain of English that was papered everywhere in writing and talk. If you know the Dakota lan- guage, you can walk through that English curtain at will and leave it all behind. You understand how important autumn is – not just a time to think about buying a sweater. The timing of the leaves that turn to color – bronze, yellow, orange, red – signal when they choke off the flow of nutrients to their leaves M whether winter will be early or late. It is interesting to look at trees, to understand one kind from another and to know the uses of the trees. Sugar maples that once filled the hardwood forests are now seen in tiny stands. The Dakota people made maple products for energy-rich food that could be consumed the whole year. But now, the leaves tell their story. Now, little children walk from their Dakota class in the Phillips Neighborhood with their teacher to a nearby garden. He points out the various plants and trees along the AWE OF ART See page 9 for the rest of Autumn in our Hearts THE POWER OF ART • See page 8 It seems that our community is always under assault, doesn’t it some- NOctober = Autumn = Awetumn = Phillips Clean Sweep.

  • Nicholas Hoult Biography
    NICHOLAS HOULT BIOGRAPHY Nicholas Hoult has become one of Hollywood’s most sought after actors. Known for blockbuster films like the X- MEN franchise as well as for independent projects like A SINGLE MAN, his upcoming projects reflect this agility with appearances in international franchises as well as character-driven dramas. Hoult will next be seen reprising his role as ‘Hank McCoy/Beast’ in X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX. He recently wrapped production on the Fox Searchlight Pictures historical drama THE FAVOURITE where he’ll star alongside Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. The film is a tale of royal intrigue, passion, envy, and betrayal in the court of Queen Anne during the early 18th century England. He also recently wrapped production on the biopic TOLKIEN, playing the titular character opposite Lily Collins. Last year, Hoult was seen as J.D. Salinger in the Salinger biopic REBEL IN THE RYE, directed by Danny Strong from his own screenplay, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The film explores the life and mind of the beloved author and tell the story of the birth of “The Catcher in the Rye.” Also at Sundance was the Drake Doremus’s drama NEWNESS, a film set in contemporary Los Angeles about two millennials (Hoult and Courtney Eaton) navigating their relationship in a social media-driven hookup culture. In 2015 he starred as ‘Nux’ opposite Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy in George Miller’s MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, which received multiple Oscar nominations including “Best Picture.” In 2016 he reprised his role as ‘Hank McCoy’ AKA ‘Beast’ in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, the ninth installment of X-MEN which is directed by Bryan Singer.

D. Salinger (1919-2010) produced a small and unique body of work which defies description or definition. His novel, The Catcher in the Rye (1951), a depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence, remains both widely read and controversial. Nine Stories followed in 1953 to critical acclaim. He was his own most quirky character, according to his daughter, Margaret Salinger, and his ex-lover, Joyce Maynard. A biopic, Rebel in the Rye, starring Kevin Spacey is due early 2017. In this course we will learn about Salinger’s life, and explore the characters and themes of his most important works and their impact on American literature. Course materials Nine Stories by J. D.

  • Teen Angst: Salinger's the Catcher in the Rye and Brooks' Grow
    Grau d’Estudis Anglesos Treball de Fi de Grau Curs 2017-2018 Teen Angst: Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye and Brooks’ Grow Up. NOM DE L’ESTUDIANT: Clàudia Martori Ribalta NOM DEL TUTOR: Gemma López Sánchez Barcelona, 18 de juny de 2018 Teen Angst: Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye and Brooks’ Grow Up ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to compare the two main characters in the novels The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Grow Up by Ben Brooks, having the trauma that the two characters suffered earlier in their lives as the starting point for this discussion. This paper will work on the effects of trauma in different aspects of the characters’ lives and their process of growth towards adulthood, as well as the way in which the two characters perceive the adult world, and the autobiographical nature of the two novels. I hope this paper will contribute to the existing research on Holden Caulfield by comparing him to a contemporary character that has not been an object of academic analysis before, as well as provide a good base for the future research that might be done on Ben Brooks’ work, and more specifically on Grow Up. KEY WORDS: adolescence, trauma, maturity, acceptance, autobiography. RESUM La finalitat d’aquest treball és comparar els dos personatges principals de les novel·les The Catcher in the Rye de J.D. Salinger i Grow Up de Ben Brooks, tenint com a punt de partida d’aquest debat les situacions traumàtiques que van patir els dos personatges.

  • Premieres, Midnight, Kids, and More: Latest Additions to 2017 Sundance Film Festival Lineup
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: December 5, 2016 Spencer Alcorn 310.360.1981 [email protected] PREMIERES, MIDNIGHT, KIDS, AND MORE: LATEST ADDITIONS TO 2017 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL LINEUP Premieres, Documentary Premieres, Midnight, Spotlight, Kids and Special Events: From Documentary and Horror to Romance and Episodic (L-R) Killing Ground, Courtesy of Sundance Institute; The Polka King, Credit: Andre Bowden Schwartz; My Life as a Zucchini, Courtesy of Sundance Institute. Park City, UT — The final pieces of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival feature film program fall into place today, as Sundance Institute announces the lineup for Premieres, Documentary Premieres, Midnight, Spotlight, Kids and Special Events. The Festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort January 19-29. Three projects announced today are part of The New Climate, the Festival’s new environmental program: Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman (Documentary Premieres), Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry (Spotlight) and RISE (Special Events). John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Some of the most pressing themes that we can trace through the Festival lineup — the environment, political upheaval, social change — are distilled to their very human essences in both comic and dramatic stories. These stories, and the conversations they spark, start here and will extend well beyond the mountain and the Festival in the months ahead.” Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Powerful visions of our times — past, present and future — resound throughout these sections. Inspired storytellers are shining a light on urgent issues or providing an exhilarating escape from them.
