D4 PDQ 1 The Plain Dealer Breaking news: cleveland.com 'Archie' exec to talk with students at 3 schools In more than 60 years, Archie Andrews never left school. It's about time schools recognized him. On Friday, five local schools will have what amounts to an Archie Appreciation Day, with programs that show how comic books can play a part in education. Three of those schools get a special treat: a presentation by Archie Comic Publications coCEO Nancy Silberkleit on the making of comic books. The leap from the boardroom to a school podium is actually a short one.
Silberkleit spent more than 20 years teaching elementary arts courses in New Jersey while her husband, Michael Silberkleit, ran the Archie empire. When he died in 2008, there was talk of selling the company, which had been run by the same two families since the early 1940s. Even though she knew little smaller comics-related events on Friday for the students, including a large sale of Archie comics such as the "Sonic" and "Mega Man" comics and trade paperbacks. The comics sale will take place in all five schools, with profits going to the individual schools. The idea of.
bringing Archie into the classroom came from Ken Glanc, the president of the Elyria Comic Book Initiative, which promotes comics and comic-creating in schools throughout the area. His daughter showed him an ad in an Archie comic offering to work with local schools. A couple of wellplaced phone calls later, and the Ohio Archie minitour was a done deal. 1 Glanc was pleasantly surprised 'that Silberkleit was willing to come to the Buckeye State herself to promote comics. "Our core readers are young children," Silberkleit said.
"It's important to get the youngest children interested in reading, even if they only start by looking about comics, Nancy Silberkleit took over running the company along with Jonathan Goldwater, son of the co-founder. So the homey comic company remained firmly in the hands of the same two families that started it. She said she was a little ner'vous about her new role but saw it as an opportunity to combine her two loves: education and comic books. 1 "This program we have brings comics directly 1 to the children," she said. "I will speak at the schools and tell the children about how comics are made, show them the stages of a comic page from writer to artist to inker and encourage them to make comics of their own." She will start Friday morning at Gilles-Sweet Elementary School in Fairview Park.
Then she will go to St. Mary School and St. Jude School, both in Elyria. Eastern Heights Middle School in Elyria and Keystone High School in LaGrange will hold at the pictures. That's how it starts.
A teacher must have a toolbox with everything in it to make sure no one slips through the cracks. Comics are a powerful tool to turn students into creative thinkers, to engage them and encourage them to become part of the process." Silberkleit will be signing Archie comics and chatting with fans starting at 10 a.m. Saturday at Carol and John's Comic Book Shop in Kamms Plaza on Cleveland's West Side. "I always run into people who say that Archie changed their lives," said Silberkleit. "A man said he remembered a story about Archie and the gang helping out Pop Tate at his 'Chok'lit Shop' by giving out samples of a new product to lure other kids into the shop.
"He said the idea never left him, and it was a sound one," she said. "Whenever he opens a new restaurant, he hires young people to hand out samples to others. And it works."

MICHAEL SANGIACOMO Plain Dealer Reporter DAVID GERMAIN Associated Press Business was dismal, with boxoffice tracker Hollywood.com estimating Sunday that domestic revenues totaled just $82 million. That puts it barely ahead of Hollywood's worst haul of the year, when revenues were $81.5 million over the second weekend in September. Once studios release final numbers today, this past weekend could come in as the worst of the year if revenues finish even lower.
The first weekend of December often presents a lull in between big Thanksgiving releases and the onslaught of year-end blockbusters that arrive a bit later. .5 he MOVIES -FILM Terms Title Rating Showtimes AMC Get movie times at amctheatres.com or call 1-888-AMC-4FUN Before 6 p.m. Mon Thurs $4.50 all ages, except ReaD 30.

"The New 52" is a massive hard-cover tome, weighing almost 8 pounds and including more than 1,000 pages, that reprints all 52 first issues of the new comic world order.
For the first time since 1938, readers get to see a new version of the first appearance of Superman in a world that mistrusts and fears him. Though many feel that DC fixed something that was not broken with the universal restart, its vibrant and visceral appeal can't be denied. "The New 52" is a perfect reference work for the new DC.

But what about a musician who triumphs at no fewer than three top competitions? Daniil Trifonov, a Russian pianist who studies with Sergei Babayan at the Cleveland Institute of Music, managed that incredible feat during the 2010-11 season.
He won third prize at the Chopin competition in Warsaw, Poland, last fall before taking first prizes at both the Rubinstein competition in Israel and the biggest plum of them all, the Tchaikovsky, in Mos: cow. So it was with more than a little interest that an audience listened intently to the 20-year-old Trifonov in recital Wednesday at the institute as part of the Mixon Hall Masters Series. The concert was sold out, and stage seats were filled with young REVIEW people Daniil (CIM stu: Trifonov dressed in black attire. Trifonov charmed the crowd by bowing to each corner of the audience after finishing a piece. In many respects, he demon.
strated why juries at the various competitions voted enthusiastically in his favor. His playing is virtuosic and sensitive, combining remarkable command of the keyboard with an abiding joy of music. making. The program Trifonoy chose Wednesday didn't paint a comprehensive picture of his artistry. The menu comprised short items that added up to an evening of encores (and there were some of those, too).
What was missing was a sonata or other extended work that would have revealed something about his grasp of musical architecture. But Trifonov certainly made it clear that he can traverse the keyboard at the fleetest tempos without pres: sure or a hint of sweat. In several of the quickest selections in the complete set of Chopin etudes, Op. 10, He was a master of velocity and textural clarity. Elsewhere, Trifonoy proved that he also savors restraint and poetry.
He began the program's opening work, Chopin's Ballade No. 4, Op. 52, at a hush, only gradually increasing tension to emphasize the music's dramatic urgency. The etudes held moments of lyrical beauty, though Trifonov had a tendency to unt derplay expressive nuances or obscure harmonies by leaning too generously on the sustain pedal. Trifonov devoted the sec ond half of the program to works either arranged by Liszt or composed entirely by the man himself.
They included four Schubert songs, Schumann's "Widmung" and Paganini's "La Campanella," whose bell-like passages' received glistening delineation. When it came time for real Liszt, Trifonov tore into the Valse with rambunctious glee, as if the menacing feats were natural acts of pianism. For encores, he offered pieces by Mussorgsky and Bach, as well as a lilting ac count of Chopin's Grande Valse Brillante, Op. 18, that sent the audience happily into the night.
