Dual-personality tourist town
By Rick Steigmeyer
World staff writer
CHELAN — Not yet noon on a Friday, vehicles are already flowing into this lakeside town in preparation for one of the newer of Chelan’s many weekend events. Some 15 bands were scheduled to play in various bars, wineries and other venues Friday night and most of Saturday during the Rhythms of the Lake Festival this last weekend in September.
Washington State Poet Laureate Samuel Green gives a reading 7 p.m. Sunday at the Merc Playhouse in Twisp, 101 Glover St. Admission is a suggested donation of $15 to $25 if you go; call 997-4004 for info.
Trail users may wish to consider a fall camping outing along with their hike or ride into the woods — and this trail comes with a campground attached. Pine Flats Campground remains open until mid-October. The campground’s group site may also be reserved into the fall season by calling Reserve USA at 1-877-444-6777 or online at reserveusa.com.
REVIEWS
There had never been anything quite like Bob Dylan in the 1960s, and there’s nothing quite like him today.
These days, if a film or TV show or book has anything to do with the words “mob” or “organized crime,” I’m pretty much guaranteed to respond by saying, “I’ll pass.”
After immersing myself in the colorful world of THQ’s “de Blob” for many hours, I was quickly able to come to two conclusions about this new Wii platform game.
Ponder this dilemma: You have cast British actor Ricky Gervais, the terror of the original “Office,” and smug former talk show host Greg Kinnear in your new light romantic comedy. But both actors seem to be at their best when they are playing characters audiences love to hate.
“Body of Lies” is a riddle wrapped in an enigma served with a side of mystery meat. It’s very watchable, with some entertaining action beats, kind of a “Syriania” as scripted by Tom Clancy, a “The Kingdom” with a little less “C.S.I.” — heavy on the tech, snappy in the dialogue.
“On the day the world ended,” a narrator tells us, learned men in blue lab coats sent the last vestiges of the human race below ground to hold out for 200 years in the City of Ember. But those 200 years have passed. Knowledge has faded and the vast city is crumbling, degenerating as generations have grown up not really understanding how anything works, why they’re underground or what was supposed to happen after 200 years.
Ernie Davis was the first African-American to win football’s Heisman Trophy. The passage of time and the brevity of his career and life have made him a forgotten figure, something the workmanlike football drama “The Express” aims to change. But it’s a movie that rarely strays from its sports-drama formula, something that robs the history and the tragic trajectory of the man’s story of its heart.

| “Xoxo Panda & the New Kid Revival” Her Space Holiday, $11.98 The new album by one-man band Her Space Holiday is folksy and childlike. Similar to the style of Kimya Dawson, except this guy, Marc Bianchi, actually does it well — it probably helps that his music is not nearly as minimalistic. Consider what would happen if [...] |

FROM YOU
Hike-happy couple Thomas and DeAnn Henson took a trek up to Maple Pass last month, taking a break at Heather Pass on the way up. “We had been bogged down all season with one thing and another so this was our first hiking trip of the season,” says DeAnn. It was also the Twisp couple’s first time on this particular trail. “I was amazed at how easy it was,” DeAnn exclaims. “It’s a popular hike, so be prepared for company.”
