KENDRICK LAMAR - TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY Austin Gomez

Is K-Dot riding one-hit-wonder status? Not by a long shot.

Another year has passed and another ed-itor-in-chief will be fi ll-ing this space with their words next week. With how quickly staff turns over at student-run publications like buzz, I suspect all but a few of our most detail-oriented

readers will have forgotten me in another year. Only a handful of my fellow buzz editors remember the editorial staff who ran this magazine when we were freshmen three years ago. In another three years, no one on staff will remember our names. This is not a refl ection of our disposability, but of the magazine’s valuable fl exibility. It is a testament to the freedom of experience buzz provides – as writers, editors, pho-tographers and designers, we can make whatever adventure we want out of our time here.

I think I have made the most of my time. Three years ago, I was studying to teach high school English; after becoming a music writer to get into shows for free, I discovered where my interest truly lay. This magazine changed my course and I wound up in charge of the damn thing. I interviewed some of my favorite national touring bands, as well as the best local musicians out of any micro-urban com-munity, anywhere in the country. I was introduced to a huge variety of exceptional local restaurants by this magazine, especially off-campus ones I may have never tried otherwise. Seeing movies at the Art sparked an interest in fi lm I never realized I had. Following local politics lead to my current intern-ship with a state representative I am certain will leave a positive, lasting impact on CU, as well as Illinois. Three years later, I scream internally when-ever someone says we’re surrounded by cornfi elds.

The landscape has changed dramatically as I went to school here. Campustown has a skyline, and downtown Champaign will soon boast its own Common Ground. Bands have formed and bro-ken up before my degree was completed. Pizza M opened and narrowly lost Best of CU’s Best Pizza category to Papa Del’s last fall (it may be early for predictions, but I like their 2015 odds). I’ve enjoyed David Bazan performing acoustically to a room full of Urbana yuppies a half-dozen times.

I’m not much inclined to symbolism, so I’m not looking forward to graduation ceremonies. Instead, I’ve written this goodbye. I’ll be back for Pygma-lion or when the second Maize opens, whichever comes fi rst. May the Force be with you.

NO BOUNDARIES: TERMINUS VICTOR

TALKING with Scott Kimble gives the im-pression of attending a sermon

by some great musical pastor. And Kimble is the first one to admit as much.

“Now I sound like a preacher,” Kimble laughed after one of many long-winded speeches extolling the virtues and beauty of music.

Kimble is the bassist and lyricist of the Cham-paign-Urbana band Terminus Victor. If nothing else, he’s completely honest.

“I like to write so honestly that it makes me un-comfortable,” Kimble said.

This is reflected in his writing too. His band’s albums like Prevention vs. Intervention and Under Surveillance almost give voyeuristic insight into the musician’s mind and personal life.

“I don’t try to write out any theme for an album, but it kinda comes out like that,” Kimble said. “My style of writing is kind of like a waterfall. I’ll be brain-storming and writing down random things until I hit something, and then suddenly, I can't stop all these ideas coming out so close together.”

For Kimble, songwriting is a process of trying to probe his own mind.

“It’s like trimming fat,” he said. “I go through all the nonsense on the surface of my brain and find what’s really eating at me; what I really want and need to share through music.”

This honesty is not just limited to songwriting, either.

“I don’t really subscribe to the hipster mindset of liking one specific artist because I have to,” Kimble said. “I think its very important for our society to have their own opinion on everything, not just mu-sic. That’s how were going to evolve, if everyone is constantly thinking for themselves and forming their own opinions. If someone tells me they don’t like Terminus Victor, I get excited. I say ‘Yes! Thank you, that’s great! You’re speaking honestly, and I love that.’”

Kimble described himself as a musical omnivore.“I’ll put my iPod on shuffle, and one song will be

Coltrane, the next will be Sonic Youth, then MBV, then old country,” Kimble said. “Having all these

different musical influences is great because when I write songs, they all filter through me and uncon-sciously inform what I’m doing. I’ll pick some ideas and put them together.”

Kimble, who studied music composition at the University, said composer Igor Stravinsky wrote in a similar fashion and has influenced Kimble’s writing. While his education informs his playing and writing, Kimble said his straightforwardness was what pre-vented him from pursuing academic music further.

“I’m a regular folk guy, and there can be some snooty, elitist people in academic circles,” Kimble said. “I like to say what exactly what I mean to say, and that can be looked down upon. You’ll find people that want to say things ironically or bury their mean-ing. I never subscribed to that. Music is for everyone. I don’t think you need to have some advanced un-derstanding for it to speak to you.”

Catch Terminus Victor this Saturday at Mike 'N' Molly’s. The show starts at 9 p.m. and costs $7 at the door.

JOIN THE DARK SIDE. WE HAVE COOKIES.

ASH VALENTINE AND JOSH PETERSON

FOR some reason, the campiest, most ridicu-lous (and hence obviously the best) su-

pervillains I know of come from the Batman uni-verse. Christopher Nolan has done his utmost to whitewash Batman of his underpant-and-tights, “Holy smokes!” elements by making his take on the hero hyperdramatic and brooding, but the old Adam West series had an undeniable charm that seems to have been lost now. The show had a selection of hilarious adversaries, but the best was by far and away Egghead. This diabolical two-bit villain’s gimmick was eggs: everything he said was an egg pun, he wore a yellow suit, his head was bald and shaped like an egg, all of his weap-ons and devious devices were egg-themed, and his counterpart in crime was an incredibly racist Native American caricature named Screaming Chicken. Even his sidekicks were named after dishes: Miss Bacon, Benedict and Foo Young. To top off the egg puns, Egghead featured in an epi-sodes, entitled “An Egg Rises in Gotham.” It works on so many levels!

The best supervillain in recent years hands-down comes from Joel Schumacher’s detested 1997 outing Batman and Robin. If you’re a Bat-man fan, you know who I’m talking about: Arnold Schwarzenneger’s Mr. Freeze. From the moment this guy shows up on screen, he belts out ice pun

after terrible ice pun with a douchebag laugh that causes me physical pain every time I hear it. One of the most ridiculous (out of many) scenes in-volves a fight scene between Batman, Robin, and Freeze in the dinosaur exhibit of a museum. As Batman comically roller-blades down the neck of a Brontosaurus, Freeze points his ray at him, cackling with glee as he yells “You know what killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!”

As terrible as Freeze is, however, Schwarzeneg-ger played the part to a perfect tee. The real villain here isn’t him, but Joel Schumacher himself, for making a film so utterly terrible that it effectively murdered and buried Batman until Christopher Nolan resurrected him almost ten years later. Fans who love to hate the film now play a drinking game in which players have to take a drink every time Freeze delivers a shitty ice pun, and advice given to every newcomer is that unless you take small sips, the game will kill you. –Ash Valentine

I hate Andrew Garfield with a passion that burns so bright that it makes the Olympic torch look like a candle from Bath and Body Works. It’s really not the poor guy’s fault; he’s actually a pretty great actor in The Social Network (anyone that has the audacity to almost punch Justin Timberlake in the face is either the world’s greatest actor, or is the kind of guy that hates puppies). Truth told

he’s nothing but a pawn in the great plot to ruin my childhood with the unnecessary, cash-grab perversion of a Spider-Man movie that he stared in. I loved Sam Rami’s original trilogy, and Spi-der Man 2 is still to this day my favorite super hero movie. Rami manages to tease out of the film the emotional honesty and sympathy that defines the original Amazing Spider-Man com-ics. The best example of this is Alfred Molina’s heartbreaking portrayal of Doctor Octopus. That a super villain whose shtick is so inherently campy

is able to elicit empathy from the viewer is a vic-tory in itself, but by the end of the film Octavius is barely even seen as a villain anymore: gaining the complete understanding of the audience, and redemption for his actions through self-sacrifice. Spider-Man 2 is the movie that made films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man possible, it was the first super hero movie that aspired to be an excellent movie, not just an excellent super hero movie, and that is due to the excellent rendition of Doctor Octopus. –Josh Peterson

FOR some artists, it was the environment of a classroom—the group of coexisting

creative thinkers—which triggered the desire to dedicate a lifetime to creating. For others, it was simply being in a household surrounded by artists. For CJ McCarrick, a student in the Master of Fine Arts program at Illinois, it was a bit of both. It was finding a subject and a skill enjoyable and not letting the love for it stray with the passing years.

Now, after receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Grand Valley State University and enroll-ing in the MFA program here at the University, McCarrick is showcasing that passion with her newest exhibit, “HERstory” a call for observers to witness the lack and separation of women from religious spectrums.

McCarrick has a thing or two to say about HERstory as well, sharing her personal story.buzz » When did you begin to find enjoyment in the artistic world?CJ McCarrick » I’ve always been artistic; I’ve al-ways been creative. It was something I did all the time in high school. It was something I did a lot, and I knew it was something I was going to do in college. And then you get one degree and, all of a sudden, if you’re like me, you’ll need another. buzz » What kind of classes did you take while in high school?CM » Ceramics, drawing and painting. We had a good program, so we had a lot of options like pho-tography. We had a darkroom in my high school too, if you can believe it. It was really amazing. It was probably having all of those art classes around me that drew me in. I come from a family

of makers, so that [background] combined with a place that allows you to do things in class or after school programs (I think) definitely generates artists and creative people. buzz » Now that you’re here at the University, continuing on with the MFA program, how did the idea behind “HERstory” come about?CM » So, my work is about religion. It’s about re-ligious practice and religious politics. Those two meld together, and they’re separate. There’s a lot of different materials and source material be-tween practice and politics. The work was stem-ming from that pool already, and I had been read-ing some feminist literature from the ‘70s, ‘80s and early ‘90s that was extraordinarily spiritual, which had not come across to me in my studies. I didn’t realize that was a thing and I was really shocked by how much she references female god-desses and the great goddess or the great god-dess mother. I kind of wanted to expose that idea in a very broad way and connect it to our current “fertility idol,” the Virgin Mary, who is pretty much the last female icon in popularity.buzz » So, you would say the idea came from femi-nist literature?CM » Yeah, and the idea itself, the way it mani-fested in the show, was because that space [in the University YMCA] is unique. It’s a historical building—thave plaster walls, so you can’t drill into the walls—and as a sculptor and insulation artist myself, it’s really hard to do that in a space that’s used as much as that space is; you can’t attach anything to anything. They have this whole hanging system that I had to navigate. The flat-ness, having screen printed imagery on the walls,

AALIYAH GIBSON

Screenprint by CJ McCarrick


stemmed from that. The original idea was to print on news printer paper and make posters and then wheat-paste them on the wall, but that’s not an option in that space. So it manifested itself in the space as a result of lots of influences. It’s my own influence and my own connections and discon-nections from religion. It’s my beliefs as a feminist and also the limits of the space itself. buzz » How did religion help guide the creation of this exhibit?CM » I think I mentioned how it has these two kinds of sides—practice and spiritualism ver-sus politics. When you look at religion, people tend to mash those two together, and I think it’s really important to question those things separately. Those are two higher-ups used to create order. The difference between those two are very important.buzz » After coming up with a topic and receiving approval from the YMCA, how long did it take you to get the show together?CM » It was very fast! I had a friend [who] recom-mended me to Ann [Rasmus], who is the curator at the Y, and she contacted me and I thought that I would do a show maybe like in March or April. But she was like, “So, we have this really cool confer-ence that will be happening,” and she wanted to have the show in February, and this was in late January. I had about a month, maybe six weeks, to make and display the show. buzz » What are you hoping viewers will leave thinking or feeling after the exhibit?CM » I want viewers to kind of realize how mod-ern religions limit the representation of females in contemporary religions. You look at the big three, or maybe the big four, religions that billions of people identify with, and there are really a limited number of female gods or goddesses or saints. There is also a lack of human representation. I was raised Catholic. I am no longer a Catholic and, within my practice there is this Mary figure, and she’s the figurative representation who is the only big depiction of faith. Yet she is depicted as pas-

sive, and everything is done upon her, if you read the stories. She was chosen, impregnated, gave birth and the rest of her story continues through narrative of the son, not her. It becomes tied to these male figures. I found that troubling. How do women navigate the world, if they have nothing to look up to? I wanted to identify the wide history and cultural history. [The exhibition] covers both the world’s history, throughout time, of the female represen-tation in religion. It brings up and just lists some of the names of the women who have fed into (what are now) some of the few figures left for women to look toward.I don’t have any pretense that a woman is going to see my show and go, “Oh, ISIS.” What I want to do is to identify the lack of agency that female spiritualism seems to have and address that a little bit. One of the young men [who] came to my show was Catholic, and it was like a slow dawning on him what little representation or connection women can have, even in church hierarchy. buzz » What would you say to viewers ready to make plans to visit the exhibit?CM » Be open. I know that sounds silly and, I hope everyone is open before they view a show, but I think religion is such a personal thing, and people get very upset because it’s so close to the self. I think it’s something I struggle with because people shut off when the topic comes up. We don’t talk about religion unless it’s very religious people in higher places or politics that tell people how they should be. We don’t talk about it be-cause people are very afraid of being identified with them. I get that; I understand why someone would be concerned about what I did, but it’s im-portant that we realize how much women have been separated from history. So, openness, but if someone thinks it’s complete rubbish, that’s cool too.

“HERstory” can be viewed at the Y’s Murphy Gallery through April 10.

FOR 10 years, Salt & Light operated as an urban ministry, providing food and clothing to

the Champaign-Urbana community weekly. Every Monday, clients received clothes and furniture items. Every Wednesday, Salt & Light’s emergency food pantry, the largest in Champaign County, served 350 families, while turning away additional visitors when food ran out. Every week, families returned, and an emergency pantry became part of a routine. Even-tually, some clients who grew up frequenting Salt & Light started visiting the pantry with their children.

With nearly 400 families fi ltering through each week, staff and volunteers had few opportunities to build relationships with clients. Instead of improving situations, the system enabled dependency. While the ministry met material needs, the staff at Salt & Light wanted to change lives.

Around this time, it started developing a plan to

“offer people a better solution that could help them more deeply and in a more meaningful way,” associ-ate director of Salt & Light, Lisa Sheltra, said.

About six months ago, the organization launched a new ministry model aimed at empowering par-ticipants and building community connections. Instead of receiving handouts, participants earn credits by volunteering at organizations around CU to spend in Salt & Light’s new Two Trees Thrift Store or Gleanings Food Co-op.

“To us,” Sheltra said, “the point of our program-ming is that every single person has something of worth to contribute.”

Salt & Light’s volunteer-run thrift store operates like a garage sale, with clothes, furnishings and home goods priced low—furniture typically sells for $15 or less. Open to the community 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, the store sells

only high-quality donations. Sheltra said the store sells items not to make

money but to “change the dynamic.” Now, instead of asking for charity, participants visit as custom-ers with dignity. Low prices ensure goods stay accessible to everyone.

Food co-op members purchase items with volun-teer credits. By serving at any local organization for up to 15 hours monthly, families earn store credits; families also get one emergency visit. Instead of waiting in line every Wednesday, members visit throughout the week as needs arise.

On a Tuesday afternoon, the adjacent stores bustled with volunteers and participants. Sheltra said they stay busy throughout the week, evidence that participants have embraced the change.

While the food co-op reaches fewer families than the pantry did (150 as of January), the new

system fosters deeper engagement and promotes community involvement. Sheltra said many par-ticipants already served at Salt & Light or other local organizations, and those who have never volunteered before discover it as an “opportunity to give back.”

Salt & Light’s new model also emphasizes forg-ing personal connections with participants.

“We think that the primary human need is for relationship. Those intangible things like love and friendship and encouragement,” Sheltra said. While material goods matter, she said, helping people grow as individuals makes a more lasting impact.

To accomplish this goal, Salt & Light started an advocacy program designed to provide partici-pants with one-on-one relationships, where they can work toward achieving goals. Advocacy al-

lows Salt & Light to know participants personally and meet individual needs.

“What we want is not to be a place where the people have to fi t the program, but where we’re about the people, and the program fi ts the peo-ple,” Sheltra said.

To fi t community needs, Salt & Light now offers a computer lab, fi nancial literacy courses and a Jobs for Life class to help participants develop soft job skills.

Sheltra said one Jobs for Life student recently noted, “Nobody ever asked me before, ‘What do you want to be?’ Everyone just said, ‘You have to get a job.’”

She hopes Salt & Light’s new model will tran-scend meeting general, temporary needs and support participants as they pursue their sin-gular aspirations.

With vast changes comes immense need for community involvement.

“When you have a model that allows people to invest themselves in their community… if you offer people the opportunity for empowerment instead of dependency and, they take you up on that offer, you have to be able to hold up your end of it,” Sheltra said.

Promoting the level of civic engagement Salt & Light aims for requires participation from not only those who come for help, but also the commu-nity as a whole. Operating on donations requires people to contribute time, food, store items and fi nancial support.

While Salt & Light can no longer accommo-date large volunteer groups at the facility itself, Sheltra said, groups and individuals can still help in a host of ways.

People can offer tech support in Salt & Light’s computer lab, provide fi nancial and HR expertise in classes or serve as advocates. Advocates com-plete interviews and eight hours of training before getting paired with participants with whom they meet a few times monthly.

People can also make donations, raise aware-ness and organize fundraisers.

The Illinois Marathon also allows people to get involved. For several years, Salt & Light has partnered with the race as an official charity partner. Nathan Montgomery, executive di-rector of Salt & Light, hopes Team Salt & Light will raise awareness and help reach this year’s fundraising goal of $10,000.

Those who register on the team get a race dis-count, and team members who raise $150 or more receive Salt & Light shirts to wear on race day.

“It’s one of those things where it’s a win-win. You get to be part of a really fun event in our community and, at the same time, be a part of helping to pro-mote and really support the work the work that we do here at Salt & Light,” Montgomery said.

Salt & Light needs community support but also benefi ts the community as a whole, Sheltra said.

Whether through volunteering, fundraising or racing with a purpose, Salt & Light believes everyone has something valuable to contribute in improving Champaign-Urbana. Casting a vi-sion for the future, they invite the community to walk—or run—alongside them, in taking steps toward transformation.

FRENCH onion soup—like ratatouille, min-estrone and gazpacho—has made

the jump from the iron pots of peasant workers to the porcelain bowls of steakhouses and bistros. This journey to hallowed culinary status is not merely due to onions’ abundance or affordability, or even due to a sense of nostalgia for the “poor” food of old.

French onion soup is a simple, good dish that shows how humble ingredients slowly and seductively build into hearty, balanced flavor. The few elements, some only in trace amounts, profoundly accent and refine the dish. Other elements, like the traditional croute (piece of toasted bread) half-submerged at the top of the bowl and draped with a layer of melted cheese, elevate the dish to iconic status.

In a larger pedagogical sense, cooking French onion soup for the first time is not merely “making a soup” but an experiment in flavor building that will serve you in every dish you make after. Before we get into the ingredients list and recipe proper, a few notes on the key components and how you should select them.Butter: The richness of the soup all begins here.

Although supermarket stick butter is awfully con-venient and easy to portion, I would implore you to seek out Nordic Creamery’s Harvest Butter (avail-able at Common Ground), fresh roll butter (avail-able at Old Time Meat and Deli) or any other variety made from fresh dairy. Creamy and featuring more of a slight yellow color than the sticks, the fresh butter will pronouncedly improve the flavor and texture of your onions.

Onions: For the star of the soup, I use a mix of half red onions (crisp and mildly sweet) and half sweet onions (thickly layered and, of course, wonderfully sweet). At the market, look for onions with tightly closed necks and a shiny, somewhat crackly skin. Upon squeezing, the onion should feel solid and dry without any softness or growths.Cheese: For the eventual, spectacular, gooey fi-

nale of the dish, I highly recommend using an aged gruyère, a nutty and creamy Swiss/French variety that builds a stronger flavor as it ages. You can find gruyère at Common Ground, World Harvest and just about any other cheese shop. Those looking to use a different cheese should consider Fontina, an equally earthy Italian cheese that is also great for melting.

Preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutesServings: 8

1/2 cup butter2 teaspoons sea salt4 large sweet onions4 large red onions96 oz. chicken stock28 oz. beef stock1 cup dry red wine 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce4 sprigs fresh parsley

2 sprigs fresh thyme2 bay leaves2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar1 loaf of French bread, sliced thickly1 lb. of gruyère cheeseSalt and ground black pepper to taste

Start by peeling your onions, cutting them in half and slicing them into thin half rings. Aim for consistency more than getting them as thin as possible; the onions will shrink as the release moisture and caramelize.

Begin melting your 1/2 cup of butter in a large pot, over medium-high heat. While your pot comes to temperature, start assembling and organizing the rest of your ingredients.

Measure out your wet ingredients like the stocks, wine and Worcestershire ahead of time and put them aside so as to ease their incorpora-tion into the dish. Also, take your parsley, thyme and bay leaves and bundle them together using a piece of twine (or even a stem for those who don’t have twine). Slice your loaf of bread if you haven’t already, putting aside one, thick piece for each bowl of soup you plan to serve. Lastly, take your cheese out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.

When your butter has melted and the pot has reached medium-high heat, add in your onion slices and 2 teaspoons of salt, immediately stir-ring with a wooden spoon or spatula to incorpo-rate the ingredients with the melted butter. Cook

for 35 minutes, continuing to stir frequently. The onions should slowly caramelize, turning golden brown and slightly syrupy while building a rich, sweet flavor that anchors the dish.

Once the onions are caramelized, add in the chicken and beef stocks, red wine, Worcester-shire sauce and bundle of parsley, thyme and bay leaves you tied together. Mix together and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, being sure to stir occasionally. Once done simmering, remove the bundle of herbs from the broth and reduce the heat to low. Mix in the two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot and keep the soup over low heat while you prepare for serving.

Begin toasting the thick slices of bread until golden brown using a broiler, toaster or hot pan. As that happens, cut your room temperature gruyère into large, thin slices, two for each bowl of soup you plan on serving. Once the bread is done, ladle the soup into oven save bowls, unil each is 2/3 full.

Place the toasted bread into the bowl so that the bottom gets coated with soup, but the entire piece doesn’t sink or get soggy. Top the bread with two slices of gruyère and place the bowls in the oven, broiling until the cheese is golden brown and oozing, about 5 minutes. (Consider placing the bowls on a sheet pan to avoid any of the cheese from dripping over the side and into your oven’s heating element).

Use oven mitts or a kitchen towel to remove the hot bowls, and enjoy.
