Bruce Springsteen again breaks record for longest U.S. show PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band just don’t want to leave the stage. Wednesday night’s concert at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia lasted nearly four hours, four minutes, breaking the previous record for the group’s longest U.S. show set last week. Philadelphia Daily News sports statistician and Photo by Chris Pizzello/ Invision/AP, File Springsteen fan Bob Vetrone Jr. clocked the show at four hours, three minutes, 46 seconds.

Danny DeVito to make Broadway debut NEW YORK (AP) — Danny DeVito will make his Broadway debut next year as a wily furniture dealer in Arthur Miller’s “The Price.” The Roundabout Theatre Company said Thursday the Emmy Award-winner from “Taxi” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” will star alongside John Turturro, Tony Shalhoub and Jessica Hecht. Performances begin Feb. 16 at the American Airlines Theatre. DeVito began his career Photo by Rich Fury/ in off-Broadway Invision/AP, File shows, including Shakespeare in the Park. In 2012, he starred with Richard Grifiths in a West End production of Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys.” In “The Price,” an embittered New York City police oficer feels that life has passed him by while he took care of his now dead father. He and his estranged brother, who left to become a successful doctor, must reunite to sell off dad’s possessions. Real-life investigators object to portrayal in ‘Sully’ movie WASHINGTON (AP) — Accident investigators say they object to their portrayal in a new movie based on the “Miracle on the Hudson” river ditching of an airliner seven years ago. The investigators say the movie “Sully,” scheduled for release Friday, makes them look like prosecutors out to blame the plane’s captain, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, despite the pilot’s heroism. The US Airways’ plane lost thrust in both engines not long after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport in New York, but Sullenberger still managed to land the airliner with 150 people on board in the river without losing a single life. The man who led the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation, Robert Benzon, says he’s concerned that people who see the movie will be reluctant to cooperate with the board in the future. Wallowa County hosts Swiss-Bavarian festival By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian Oregon’s Alpenfest, a fun-illed celebration of Swiss and Bavarian cultures, features authentic food, beverages and live performances in Wallowa County’s Little Switzer- land. Reminiscent of the Swiss Alps, the moniker was given to the community because of the majestic Wallowa Mountains, which tower over the area. The Wallowas were named one of The 7 Wonders of Oregon. The festival, which features polka music, folk dancing, alphorn blowing and Swiss yodeling, is Sept. 22-25 with performances at Wallowa Lake’s Edelweiss Inn. Additional activities are held in Joseph and Enterprise — all within the shadow of the spectacular mountains. The event kicks off Thursday, Photo contributed by Oregon’s Alpenfest The Happy Hans German Band from Maple Valley, Washington, will headline Oregon’s Alpenfest. The event is Sept. 22-25 with performances at Wallowa Lake and additional activities in Joseph and Enterprise. Photo contributed by Oregon’s Alpenfest Bruce Coutant of Enterprise plays the alphorn at Oregon’s Alpen- fest. The event is Sept. 22-25 with performances at Wallowa Lake and additional activities in Joseph and Enterprise. Sept. 22 with a procession from Depot Street in Enterprise to the opening ceremony at the Wallowa County Courthouse gazebo, 101 S. River St. The ceremonial tapping of the irst keg follows at 5:30 p.m. at Terminal Gravity Brewery & Pub, 803 S.E. School St. The event includes Accordions at Alpenfest, with a suggested $5 donation. During the weekend, festival performances are $15, which includes a free beer mug. Kids ages 4-12 pay $12. To ensure visitors get a ticket, people are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance on the festival website. Admission is free to the Alpine Art, Antique and Craft Fair, which is Friday through Sunday. Also, free polka lessons are available twice daily on Friday and Saturday. Authentic cuisine and liquid refreshments include the hand- crafted Joseph Trading Post Bratwurst, the festival’s oficial sausage, Alpenfest Sauerkraut and Alpenfest Ale, a Vienna-style microbrew from Terminal Gravity. Alpenmeister Chuck Anderson is thrilled the festival was revived a handful of years ago. The event ran for 33 years before a brief hiatus. “There are Oktoberfests in the region, but Oregon’s Alpenfest is the only Swiss-Bavarian festival in the West,” he said. The Wallowa County transplant takes his role as alpenmeister very seriously, said Joseph resident Laura Burton. Donning his lederhosen, Anderson can be found with a smile on his face throughout the fall event. And, Burton said, as soon as the last stein is tipped back and the inal accordion riff is played, Anderson immediately starts making plans for the next year’s festival. Feedback from both locals and out-of-town visitors shares enthu- siasm about the event. Anderson said a Washington couple wrote saying their Alpenfest experience was even better than their trip to Paris. For Anderson, he appreciates that the festival brings polka to the people. Being far removed from the nation’s polka belts, gentlemen in the Paciic Northwest are less likely to know how to dance the polka, he said. “This is changing slowly, but in the meantime I get to dance with all the frauleins in the hall,” the alpenmeister said.
