People Glen Carbon Centennial Library to host annual fundraiser

By KATI RICHARDSON For The Edge

I

f you’re a woman who enjoys shopping, wine and visiting with friends, then the Glen Carbon Centennial Library has the perfect event for you.

The fourth annual Ladies’ Night Out at the Library will be held on Friday, March 20, from 6-9 p.m. The Friends of the Library put this event together. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door, and may be purchased at the circulation desk or from any Friends of the Library member.

“The ladies can expect to find some unique, one-of-a kind gifts and services for themselves and others from jewelry, home décor, gardening and cooking items to personal care services,” explained Susan Jernigan, FOL president.

“They will also enjoy wine tasting by Barbi Franck at PRP Wine International and appetizers courtesy of the FOL, as well as samples from many of our vendors such as: Dove Chocolate Discoveries, Seibolds Best Bakery Goods, Wildtree Organic Foods and Tastefully Simple.”

Along with a silent auction, there will also be several door prizes available. Door prizes from last year’s event included gift certificates for hair salon services, spa treatments, restaurants, oil changes and much more. This year’s event is looking to have a similar selection.

When asked what her favorite memory from previous events was, Jernigan responded that is was “seeing the library all decked out in the hot pink and black signature colors of Ladies' Night Out with lots of ladies crowding its aisles with wine glasses in hand, laughing and talking with vendors and friends!”

“We had 200 plus ladies in attendance at our 2014 LNO and are always gratified by the show of support we receive from the community for this event,” said Jernigan.

“My favorite part of the event is the way it is organized,” said Kathy Clark-Eller, who attended the event last year, “I can arrive at a time that works for me, sip on a glass of complimentary wine as I shop, sample yummy treats from local vendors and leave when I want.

What's not to love?”

Jernigan would like to invite all the ladies in the community to “bring your friends and join the "Friends" for a fun Ladies' Night Out! All proceeds from this event will support the library's children and adult reading programs.”

People For The Edge Journey into a world filled with beautiful orchid flowers and their amazing pollinators this winter during the Missouri Botanical Garden’s annual Orchid Show now through March 22. You’ll stroll through a lush display to discover hundreds of rarely seen orchids from the Garden’s collection Victorian gazebo, pollinators of all shapes and sizes, and hundreds of orchids.

At every turn, orchids burst from the landscape with bright, bold colors. Approximately 500 orchids are on display at any one time, including Cattleya, Laelia, Encyclia, Oncidium and Paphiopedilum along with many other varieties.

Spanning a wide range of sizes, colors and scents, these orchids are displayed as they would be found in their natural habitats, with terrestrial orchids at ground level and epiphytic orchids suspended atop tree branches. Hundreds of other tropical plants and ferns help set the verdant scene.

Orchids have specific relationships with their particular pollinators and conservators fear the loss of the pollinator will likely result in the loss of the orchid in the wild. As a result, many orchid conservation projects also focus on the conservation of their pollinators.

Early study of orchid flowers revealed their complexity in form and specialized mechanisms for attracting insect pollinators. Charles Darwin was one of the first scientists to observe the pollination of orchid flowers by insects and speculated that many flowers resemble insect pollinators. He suggested that pollinators are attracted to the flowers because of this similarity.

Since pollinators can be very scarce, orchids must have some way to attract animals inside their flowers and the flowers must remain open long enough for a pollinator to find it. Therefore, conservation of orchid species must also include steps to protect their specific pollinators.

Throughout the year, Missouri Botanical Garden horticulturists care for the collection behind the scenes

in the private greenhouse range.

Temperatures inside greenhouses are manipulated to force the winter bloom of as many plants as possible for the annual Orchid Show.

Orchids are grouped by watering needs and different fertilizers are used depending on the season.

Spent blooms are replaced with new ones on a daily basis, shifting the look and landscape of the show throughout its run.

Angraecm Photographers are welcome to use hand-held cameras to capture the Orchid Show for personal enjoyment; tripod and

monopod usage is not permitted indoors.

O rc h i d S h o w a d m i s s i o n i s $5 per person (ages 3 and older), in addition to general Garden admission ($8 for adults; $4 for St. Louis City and County residents, with free admission Wednesdays and Saturdays until noon; free for children ages 12 and younger).

Missouri Botanical Garden members enjoy free general admission along with free Orchid Show admission.

After visiting the 2015 Orchid Show in Orthwein Hall, be sure to visit Monsanto Hall located on the

second floor of the Ridgway Center, where contemporary American painter and founder of the “Orchid Alliance Project – Bridging Art and Science,” Patricia Laspino will be showing recent paintings in a solo exhibition entitled “Orchids in the Realm of the Sublime.” Laspino’s provocative large scale oil paintings will highlight orchids found in some of the 35 countries and six continents where the Garden is actively engaged in research. The artist will unveil two new paintings created specifically for the Garden representing orchid species found in South Africa and Madagascar.

Admission to the Missouri Botanical Garden is $8; St. Louis City and County residents enjoy discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon.

Children ages 12 and younger and Garden members are free.

The Missouri Botanical Garden is located at 4344 Shaw Blvd. in south St. Louis, accessible from Interstate 44 at the Vandeventer exit and from Interstate 64 at the Kingshighway North and South exit. Free parking is available on site and two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer.

For general information, visit w w w. m o b o t . o rg o r c a l l ( 3 1 4 ) 577‑5100 (toll-free, 1‑800‑642‑8842).

More than 45,000 households i n t h e S t . L o u i s re g i o n h o l d memberships to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Memberships begin at $65 ($60 for seniors) and offer 12 months of free general admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under, plus exclusive invitations and discounts.

Members help support the Garden’s operations and worldchanging work in plant science and conservation. Learn more at www. mobot.org/membership.

The Missouri Botanical Garden focuses its work on areas that are rich in biodiversity yet threatened by habitat destruction, and operates the world’s most active research and training programs in tropical botany. Garden scientists collaborate with local institutions, schools and indigenous peoples to understand plants, create awareness, offer alternatives and craft conservation strategies. The Missouri Botanical Garden is striving for a world that can sustain us without sacrificing prosperity for future generations, a world where people share a commitment to managing biological diversity for the common benefit.

The annual Orchid Show at the Missouri Botanical Garden always draws good crowds for those looking for a little color before spring's arrival. Photos courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden.

“The Munsters” are coming to Greenville Car Show

It may look like Halloween in June as two of the stars of the classic television show “The Munsters” will be the celebrity guests at this year ’s Greenville (Illinois) Graffiti Car S h o w. B u t c h P a t r i c k ( E d d i e Munster) and Pat Priest (Marilyn Munster) will meet fans and sign a ut o g ra p h s o n S a t u rd a y, J u n e 20 during the show. Replicas of the Munster Koach and Dragula, prominently featured on the program, will also be making an appearance.

Patrick was a popular child star who also made guest appearances on many shows of the 1960s including “Bonanza”, “Gunsmoke” and “Rawhide”.

Patrick’s work as Eddie, the son o f H e r m a n a n d L i l y M u n s t e r, made him a TV icon. In the early 1970s Patrick was the star of “Lidsville”, a quirky Saturday morning show produced by Sid and Marty Krofft.

Priest took over the role of

Marilyn Munster in the show’s 16th episode. Perhaps her best known role outside of “The Munsters” came in 1967 when she co-starred with Elvis Presley in the movie “Easy Come, Easy Go”. She was also a guest on other iconic programs like “Perry Mason”, “Bewitched” and “Mission Impossible”.

Car show organizers are excited to have the Munster Koach and Drag-ula on display that day. The original vehicles were the creation of George Barris, a legendary designer and maker of cars used in television shows and movies.

The Munster Koach, Herman Munster ’s preferred method of transportation, was created from three Model T bodies. The Dragula, built by Grandpa Munster and used by Herman in a classic episode of the show, was made u s i n g a re al fib e rglas s c o ffin.

This is a rare opportunity to see television history in person.

Butch Patrick, Pat Priest, the Munster Koach, and the Dr a g -u l a may als o b e s e e n at the Munster ’s Ball, a special e v e n t t o b e h e l d o n F r i d a y, June 19 at the American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville.

This ticketed event includes a question and answer session with the stars, photo opportunities, food, and other fun. Ticket information about the Munster ’s Ball may be obtained by calling the Greenville Chamber of Commerce at (618) 664-9272.

T h e G re e n v i l l e G r a ff i t i C a r S h o w o n Sat urday, June 20 is open to 1990 and older cars and trucks for judging. Vehicles may

also be brought for display. For the first time, motorcycles may be brought for display only. Last year ’s event attracted nearly 190 c a r s a n d t ru c k s t o d o w n t o w n Greenville, Illinois.

People People planner OMNIMAX film captures unseen world

A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the Unseen World, an original production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker.

Created by an award-winning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced

by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) and Lisa Truitt (“Mysteries of Egypt”) and directed by Louis Schwartzberg (“Disney Nature: Wings of Life”).

Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret world of nature, events and breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the Saint Louis Science Center. “Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum—the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more.

TOO SLOW: Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u re mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive. The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food.

On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity.

TOO FAST: High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky.

TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times—revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful. Guess

6

which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more!

Mysteries of the Unseen World then moves from the familiar events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself.

The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nanoscience and potential innovations in nanotechnology. In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual atoms of the DNA. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mindbending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities of science,” said Lisa Truitt, president of National Geographic Entertainment.

“The premise of this new giant screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr.

Mysteries of the Unseen World is funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation and generous support from Lockheed Martin and FEI, a manufacturer of electron microscopes.

Tickets are on sale at the Saint Louis Science Center. Please visit slsc. org or call 314.289.4424 for advanced sales and group reservations.

Symphony, Nine Network team up

In a unique partnership, the Nine Network of Public Media and the St. Louis Symphony have combined resources to produce a new, monthly television series, Night at the Symphony.

Nine episodes will air in 2015.

The hour-long programs will highlight specially selected St. Louis Symphony performances from the 2014–2015 season, as well as encore presentations of concert specials produced since 2012.

“This is the only partnership of its kind in the nation between a public television station and a symphony orchestra,” said Patrick Murphy, vice president of production for the Nine Network.

“The opportunity to bring the experience of one of the world’s finest orchestras into every home in our region shows what is possible when cultural institutions work together for the benefit of the community.”

“When we first started our partnership five years ago, I never would have expected it to evolve into what it’s become,” said Adam Crane, vice president for external affairs at the St. Louis Symphony.

“We’ve learned so much along the way, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our musicians and staff, as well as the Nine Network team. The orchestra's mission is to enrich people’s lives through the power of music, and Night at the Symphony embodies this."

“In a season full of special anniversaries for the St. Louis Symphony, the genesis of Night at the Symphony is a terrific way to

celebrate,” said Music Director David Robertson. “It’s another way that audiences can enjoy our worldclass orchestra and we’re grateful to the Nine Network for the new opportunity to continue to share our music with the community.”

“Our partnership with the St. Louis Symphony is a shining example of what can be achieved through creative collaboration and commitment to a common objective,” said Nine Network President and CEO Jack Galmiche. “It is particularly exciting for us to add this unprecedented series to our extensive local and national arts programming.”

The programming lineup for Night at the Symphony through 2015 is as follows (the series will not air in March, June and December): April 6 R esident Con ductor Steven Jarvi leads the orchestra and violin soloists Jessica Cheng, Angela Smart, Jooyeon Kong and Alison Harney in a performance of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.

May 4 David Robertson conducts pieces

by Brahms, Rosas, Ravel, Alfven, Borodin, Bartók and Ginastera with featured violinists Eva Kozma and

Silvian Iticovici.

July 6 Conductor David Robertson leads the symphony and cellist Alvin McCall in the performance of works

by Copland, Ives and MacDowell.

The year wraps up with encore performances of concerts previously presented on Nine PBS: August 4, September 7, October 5, and November 3.

For more information about Night at the Symphony, visit the web page nineNet.org/Symphony.

About the Nine Network of Public Media The Nine Network of Public Media is a multifaceted organization creating a network of individuals and organizations empowered by public media to strengthen civic life. One of the nation’s most watched public television stations, Nine offers the people of the St. Louis region multiple ways to explore the world and become engaged in civic life, including four distinct broadcast channels (Nine PBS, Nine World, Nine Create and Nine Kids), the Nine Center for Public Engagement, www.nineNet.org and the Public Media Commons.

War. Anderson does not wish to be involved in the war because he doesn’t consider it “his” war and tries to keep his family neutral as the Civil War rages around him.

Union forces and the Confederates see things only in shades of Blue or Grey, so the family is inevitably swept up in the conflict. Their story is a heart-warming and heartrending portrayal of the upheaval that left wounds on the land and its people for generations to come.

Vandals hit 2 more French cemeteries, overturn crucifixes

PA R I S ( A P ) — D o z e n s o f g r a v e s i t e s h a v e b e e n vandalized in a two small-town graveyards in France, a discovery that came the same day five teens faced preliminary charges in massive destruction at a Jewish cemetery in eastern France.

F r a n c e ' s I n t e r i o r M i n i s t r y s a i d c r u c i f i x e s w e re overturned and gravesites disturbed in Tracy-sur-Mer, a tiny town next to the D-Day landing beaches, and in Saint-Beat, in southwest France. Swastikas were found in two other widely separated towns, the ministry said Wednesday.

The discoveries came after 250 Jewish graves were desecrated last weekend in the eastern French town of Sarre-Union.

Five local teens faced preliminary charges in the SarreUnion vandalism.

The prosecutor, Philippe Vannier, said the "anti-Semitic

Hollande: Anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim acts threaten France

SARRE-UNION, France (AP) — French President Francois Hollande says the growing number of acts of violence against Jews and Muslims threatens the country's very foundations.

Hollande spoke in the small Alsatian town of Sarre-Union, where 250 Jewish graves were desecrated over the weekend.

He noted that anti-Semitism and acts against Muslims are both on the rise in France, notably after the attacks last month in Paris on a satirical newspaper and a kosher grocery store that left 20 people dead, including the three gunmen.

He promised firmness in searching down and prosecuting those who carry out anti-Semitic or racist acts. Five local teenagers — with no previous records — have been detained in connection to the cemetery desecration, but no charges were immediately filed.

Church of England appeals to voters to take part in campaign

LONDON (AP) — Church of England bishops are appealing to Christians to take part in the politics ahead of upcoming elections. The leaders are calling for a fresh moral vision for Britain at time of disillusionment.

The bishops said in a 52-page letter that it is the duty of every Christian to vote May 7. The letter, the first of its kind before a vote, touches on topics such as the concept of a living wage and Britain's relationship with the European Union.

The Bishop of Norwich, Rt. Rev. Graham James, said the bishops are aware that voices in British society, notably comedian Russell Brand, have been arguing that voting is pointless.

The Arts Cedarhurst to host new exhbit Watershed Cairns: Water Marked with Art runs through May 10 For The Edge

W

atershed Cairns: Water Marked with Art will be the featured Main Gallery exhibition now through May 10 at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts in Mt. Vernon (IL). Since March 2011, artists Joshua Rowan and Libby Reuter, have been creating images that draw attention to places in the St. Louis and southern Illinois regions where the watershed is working to collect, clean, and conduct fresh water…or not.

The Watershed Cairns exhibit, sponsored

by Hunt and Donna Bonan; cosponsored by Chip Forrester and WSIU Public Radio/ WSIU Public Television, strives to reveal water’s trail from a blade of grass to your drinking glass by calling attention to unseen creeks and streams buried under streets, malls, and homes; concealed by the bushes at the side of a busy road; channeled into a storm drain; or hidden in the corner of a city park.

Cairns [pronounced kar en] are photographed to mark water treatment intakes or storm drain outflows, and to show recreational and transportation uses of the rivers. Each cairn is designed for a specific location and built from household glass found in resale shops.

Believing it is art’s role to make the invisible-visible, and that there is no more important resource for the future than clean water, Reuter and Rowan set out to mark little known waterscapes where one can see the watershed at work or where the natural streams have been harmed or buried.

After the photographs are made, the fragile cairns are removed from the landscape. By exhibiting these powerful images (identified by their street address and GIS locator) the artists aim for “watershedification”; a broad public understanding of the watershed’s importance.

Admission to the Main Gallery exhibit is $5.00 per person. Admission is free Tuesday through Sunday for members of Cedarhurst and children 10 and under.

Admission is free for all visitors each Thursday.

The new gallery exhibitions will be introduced with a Cedarhurst Members’ Preview Reception from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Saturday, February 28 and include a gallery talk from 6 to 6:30 pm by Watershed artists Libby Reuter and Joshua Rowan.

Preview admission for non-members is $5.00.

In conjunction with the exhibition, a family learning program Wonderful Watersheds: Where Does Water Go? will be held Saturday, March 14 at Cedarhurst.

Gail DeVilbiss of the University of Illinois Extension and Natalie Marioni of Lewis & Clark Community College will present the engaging program from 1 to 3 pm. The event is open to the public and admission is free.

An exhibition showcasing works from the Department of Cinema and Photography at SIU-C will open March 1 in the Beal Grand Corridor Gallery at Cedarhurst.

The photography exhibition, an annual affair since the early 1990s, is one of many cooperative endeavors between Cedarhurst and Southern Illinois University and features both the works of talented students as well as art from the department’s faculty and staff.

The juried exhibition will open to the public on Sunday, March 1 in the Regenhardt Gallery

of the Shrode Art Center. The competition was open to all artists 18 years of age and older living in southern Illinois, south of Interstate 70, including Charleston, IL. The competition cash award recipients will be announced at the preview opening reception on February 28.

For The Edge

Art enthusiasts browse the offerings at a previous Queeny Park art fair.

2015 Art Fair at Queeny Park planned For The Edge The Greater St. Louis Art Association (GSLAA) presents the 2015 Art Fair at Queeny Park, April 10–12. The show is held at the indoor, climate-controlled Greensfelder Recreation Center in Queeny Park, on Weidman Road between Manchester and Clayton Roads.

The Art Fair at Queeny Park is one of the most popular, reputable and longest-running art fairs in the bi-state region.

Now in its 37th year, the spring fair is perfectly timed for gift giving and springtime home spruce-up decorating.

With 130 selected, juried artists, both local and from across the country, displaying original works in media ranging from printmaking, ceramics, photography, jewelry, glass, sculpture, painting, and more, there is a wealth of opportunity to find the perfect item.

Collectors and first time art purchasers enjoy the discovery of a new find, chatting with the artist and learning the story or process behind the piece selected. Fine art and craftwork are

both available in a wide price range.

The Art Fair at Queeny Park brings in favorite artists who have returned year after year, yet continues to attract an evergrowing group of many of the finest, established artists from all over the country, showing at the fair for the first time.

Many of the show goers make the weekend a “Christmas in April” kind of event. “One of my regular collectors who comes every year, brings a check-off list for her graduation, wedding, bridal or baby shower, Mother’s Day and birthday gift giving,” says Maggie McCarthy, watercolor artist, show organizer and spokesperson. “And it isn’t just the jewelry and clothing artists who wow with gift ideas. Wall art and sculpture ranging from charming art for little girls rooms to sophisticated paintings for the most elegant of homes are all part of a mix that sparks the most personalized, distinctive gift ideas.”

Rounding out the experience is: • Wine tastings during all three show days • Live music provided by the Ann Dueren trio

• 3 drawings each for $50 or $100 in “art dollars” that can be spent at any artist’s booth • Children’s activities include the popular Art Discovery Adventure on Sunday afternoon that will encourage their interest and knowledge of arts and crafts by letting them create their own works.

• Pottery and egg shell carving demonstrations • A refreshment café serving meals and snacks during the show hours • ATM on site Proceeds from the $5 admission go to GSLAA’s Art Scholarship Fund and help cover show expenses. Additional scholarship donations may be made at the door. St. Louisarea high school seniors are eligible to apply for the art education scholarship, which is sent directly to the college of his or her choice. Scholarship winners will have their work displayed at the Fall Fair. For information about the show or the scholarship program please call 314-889-0433 or visit www.

Inspired by Barbra Streisand’s coffee table

12

book, My Passion for Design, this uproarious fictional account of celebrity eccentricity takes us into Babs’ basement, where she houses her unique collections in a small street of shops. An underemployed actor becomes the caretaker, interacting with Barbra in moments both hilarious and surprisingly tender. A runaway hit in New York, this one-man show takes us into the ultimate fantasy of a starstruck dreamer as he fills the oddest of odd jobs.

The cast of "Buyer & Cellar" is Jeremy Webb (last seen in blue/orange) as Alex.

Alex More begins his tale by telling us that it’s completely a work of fiction. “None of this is real,” he says. “I don’t exist.” But what does exist, he tells the audience, is Barbra Streisand’s book My Passion for Design, published in 2010, which details the design of her dream home in Malibu. One of the more intriguing sections in the book is the description of the basement of a barn on her property. After acquiring a great deal of possessions over her long, illustrious career, the living legend didn’t want to store the belongings in boxes. But rather, she decided to create a “street of shops” in her basement,

On the Edge of the Weekend

complete with a sweets shop, gift store, clothing boutique (containing several of her famous onscreen and red carpet dresses), and many other retail “businesses.”

Alex begins his tall tale when he receives a job offer to manage the mini-mall. He doesn’t meet Barbra at first, but rather her house manager Sharon, who tells him that Barbra likes to go down to the shops, but “doesn’t like to be alone.” His job is to take care of the inventory, work the floor and greet the customer – the only one he is to expect.

After some time of working in the basement by himself, performing all the duties with which he was tasked, Alex finally meets Her. They strike up a formal relationship as vendor and customer at first, but as time goes by and Barbra pays Alex more visits, a unique friendship develops. Alex’s boyfriend Barry becomes concerned and reminds him of the trappings of becoming close with a celebrity, especially one who obviously loves the idea of fantasy. However, Alex, who admitted earlier in the story that he wasn’t even an especially big Babs fan to begin with, finds himself drawn to the very private but enigmatic star. But is the fine line between

reality and make-believe too blurred for this atypical companionship? And if so, who is at the greater risk of getting hurt? The Rep’s production of "Buyer & Cellar" is directed by Wendy Dann.

The creative staff also includes Steve TenEyck, set and lighting designer; Marci Franklin, costume designer; Rusty Wandall, sound designer; and Shannon B. Sturgis, stage manager.

The Arts Artistic adventures CAM plans summer exhibit

The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) presents a new group exhibition, Occupational Therapy, on view May 1 through August 16, 2015. Encompassing a wide range of media—including p a i n t i n g , d r a w i n g , s c u l p t u re , p h o t o g r a p h y, i n s t a l l a t i o n , performance, and video— from the 1960s to the present, Occupational Therapy expresses and addresses a variety of psychological conditions, both real and imagined, made manifest by artistic practice. The exhibition f e a t u re s a r t w o r k b y n i n e t e e n renowned artists: John Baldessari, Martin Brief, Tammy Rae Carland, Rochelle Feinstein, Christian Jankowski, Martin Kippenberger, Yayoi Kusama, Maria Lassnig, Lee Lozano, Bruce Nauman, Carl Pope, William Powhida, Pedro Reyes, Buzz Spector, Deb Sokolow, Frances Stark, William Wegman, and Andrew Norman Wilson and Nick Bastis.

Where does inspiration come from? How do artists cope with pervasive skepticism and doubt?

Can one acknowledge and celebrate artistic forebears while also finding one’s own voice? In our media-saturated climate, where artists find themselves subject to both increased visibility and constant scrutiny, some of the most incisive and poignant answers to these questions are often found in works of art themselves.

Sincere, cynical, and humorous in equal measure, the works on view engage the complexities and challenges of being an artist.

Featured artists inhabit a variety of roles, from therapist, director, and narrator to patient, actor, and subject. Debunking the notion of the artist as enlightened genius, the exhibition aims to humanize the creative process.

Several artists, including Lee L o z a n o , D e b S o k o l o w, a n d Frances Stark, assume a diaristic tone, employing text in the form of manifestos, doodles, and journals to give voice to urities and frustrations. They question art’s perceived ability to affect change. Some, like Pedro Reyes, also propose new paradigms for transformation. Other artists— Martin Brief, Rochelle Feinstein, M a r t i n K i p p e n b e r g e r, a n d Wi l l i a m P o w h i d a — a d d r e s s what they consider to be the art world’s insincerity, preoccupation with celebrity, and obsession with the market. While many works function diagnostically by indexing the various issues artists face, others—by Christian Jankowski and William Wegman, for example—offer tongue-incheek prescriptions for staving off conditions such as anxiety or artist’s block. Whether aspiring to wellness or imparting words of wisdom, the artists in Occupational Therapy crystallize art therapy’s directive to sublimate one’s afflictions through the act of making art.

Occupational Therapy is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Kelly Shindler, Associate Curator.

This exhibition is generously supported by David Zwirner Gallery, New York; the Goethe Institut, Chicago; On Stellar Rays, New York; and Jessica Silverman Gallery, San Francisco.

Dance St. Louis set for season

The upcoming 49th season includes: New Dance Horizons III, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa, the 8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL 2015 and two co-presentations with the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox Theatre: Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage and STOMP. Tickets are on sale now and are available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet February 27 & 28, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Cutting-edge, sophisticated, versatile, gifted and techniqueconscious – all describe the topflight dancers of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Hailed by The New York Times as “a breath of fresh air” and by the Boston Herald as the “classically trained company of the future,” Aspen Santa Fe Ballet combines rugged athleticism with liquid grace, and blends European aesthetic with American vigor.

The company, also known for its commitment to commissioning new works, performs from a diverse and engaging repertoire by some of the world’s foremost choreographers, ranging from Twyla Tharp and William Forsythe to Nicolo Fonte and Moses Pendelton. With its sophisticated repertoire and broad appeal, combined with a blend of entertaining and engrossing contemporary dance, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is one of the great success stories in American dance today.

Composed of 12 young, talented dancers, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet presents a lively program enjoyable for all audiences.

STOMP

April 10-12, 2015 Fox Theatre See what all the noise is about!

STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique—an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eightmember troupe uses everything b u t c o n v e n t i o n a l p e rc u s s i o n instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Year after year, audiences worldwide keep coming back for more of this pulsepounding electrifying show. As the Boston Globe says, “If you haven’t seen STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!”

Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa / CCN Créteil et Val-deMarne April 24 & 25, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center There’s hip-hop and then there’s Compagnie Käfig’s brand of hiphop, with its global composition, international flavor and fusion of styles. With dancers set in motion to the rhythmic beats of samba, bossa nova and electronic music, this show is a savvy, wild mash-up of innovative, dynamic choreography that promises to be one of the most entertaining highlights of the year.

Compagnie Käfig is the brainchild of Mourad Merzouki, a native of Lyon, France who studied martial arts and circus arts as a child and was influenced by hip-hop as a teen. Since 1996, the company has expanded the language of hip-hop by cleverly introducing a wide range of influences, ranging from Bollywood, Russian dance and contemporary dance to samba and capoeira to Merzouki’s own expertise in circus and martial arts.

By avoiding social stereotypes, Compagnie Käfig has managed to create its own unique style that does not deny its hip-hop origins, but rather enables the hip-hop movement to win over diverse audiences around the world.

Take a seat, sit back and enjoy a transformation in modern hip-hop

"Seventh Son"

There's a fine line between charm and cheese in fantasy epics, and movies as silly and overwrought as "Seventh Son" only help to illustrate just how hard it is to hit the right tone when balancing action, romance, (attempted) wit, and the creation of the world.

For every "Princess Bride" or "Lord of the Rings," there are 10 "Jack the Giant Slayers," and as studios cram more and more CG spectacle into each final product, it seems that storytelling and character are the consistent casualties.

"Seventh Son," directed by Sergei Bodrov, is no exception.

Based on Joseph Delaney's novel "The Spook's Apprentice" (the first in a series), "Seventh Son" tells the story of Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a skilled witch hunter (or, "spook") who must train a new apprentice after the evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) escapes her imprisonment. He takes on Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) because Tom, you see, is the seventh son of the seventh son which makes him especially suited to the job of killing supernatural beings.

Bridges is as marble mouthed as ever and barely comprehensible as the hard-boiled spook. He's trying something here that is not quite working and actually makes it difficult to become emotionally invested in his relationship with the apprentice.

It's entirely possible that he and Barnes have some sharp exchanges and witty banter, but when you're not straining to decipher exactly what nonsense exposition was mumbled, they're dolling out such sitcom-level gems as "I'm starting to wish I was the sixth son."

Moore, who is riding high on her stellar, Oscarnominated "Still Alice" performance, doesn't fare much better as the scorned, shape-shifting witch, who aims to unleash vengeance on humanity because of one betrayal.

Mother Malkin teams up with her sister (Antje Traue) and "half witch" niece Alice (Alicia Vikander) to carry out her wishes RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense fantasy violence and action throughout, frightening images and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.

"McFarland, USA"

"McFarland, USA" could so easily have been yet another mushy, feel-good, by-the-numbers sports underdog movie.

And in beginning, it seems like it's heading there.

But soon, thanks to the genuine heart in its (true) story and a pitch-perfect, beautifully lived-in performance by Kevin Costner, it will likely win you over. So go ahead, surrender. Cry a little. This is one feel-good movie that won't make you feel bad about feeling good.

The story begins in August 1987 in Boise, Idaho, when a high school football coach named Jim White — that name will end up being very convenient to the story — gets fired from his job after throwing a shoe in the direction of a snotty kid who's talking back to him, accidentally bloodying him. Jim, who has a history of anger issues, packs up the family and moves to McFarland, California, for a job at the only school that will hire him.

Arriving in McFarland, a farming town where the population is predominantly Mexican-American, White's daughter looks nervously out the car window and asks: "Are we in Mexico?" At a taqueria, White tries to order a burger, but can't get one. When the family encounters a group of young men cruising in their cars, he immediately thinks they're dangerous.

These moments lay it on a little thick, but soon, director

18

On the Edge of the Weekend

Niki Caro ("Whale Rider") hits a more comfortable stride depicting a prickly entry for the White family (the always lovely Maria Bello plays the sadly underdeveloped character of Jim's wife) into McFarland life. At the new school, White is made assistant coach of the football team, working for an ornery boss who can't win a game and sees nothing of sending a kid with a concussion back onto the field. Soon they argue, and White's off the team.

But he has a different idea. These boys, who spend all their non-school hours picking in the fields for their parents, might not be able to play football, but they sure can run.

"The DUFF"

All teen comedies owe some debt to John Hughes and Amy Heckerling.

The milieu of suburban teenage life that they explored decades ago has defined the genre since. The social divisions, the boredom, the dances, the irrepressible awkwardness and the irrational dreaminess of high school students never before seemed so accessible, and so neatly packaged with a perfect soundtrack — even if their scope was rather limited to a particular set of middle class students.

It's no surprise that we continue to tell slightly different variations of the same story. There are still outcasts and bullies and war stories to be told from the halls of suburban high schools, and every generation deserves its own silly teenage misfit story. While it's neither as biting as "Mean Girls" nor as sweetly referential as "Easy A," the earnest and sometimes amusing "The DUFF" is a fine addition to the canon.

In the film, Mae Whitman stars as Bianca, an overallwearing overachiever who's just trying to navigate her senior year alongside her two best friends Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca A. Santos).

But their dynamic is not equal, the handsome, popular and sweetly dim-witted football player Wesley (Robbie Amell) bluntly informs Bianca at a party. Bianca, he explains, is the Designated Ugly Fat Friend (aka "The DUFF") of the group.

She's the one who goes unnoticed till someone wants to gain access to her comparably more beautiful friends.

This revelation causes Bianca to take off on her own, unfriending her longtime pals (in the only way that contemporary kids might know how — on every last social media site) and convincing Wesley to help her break out of DUFF prison.

On its face, with the popular guy teaching the misfit girl how to fit in, it's like "Can't Buy Me Love" in reverse. Or "Some Kind of Wonderful" in reverse. Or even "She's All That," but without the bet.

While "The DUFF" whiffs on the comedy front more often than it succeeds and is likely not destined to become the "Sixteen Candles" for a new generation, it is eminently watchable and even a bit touching. It takes a special kind of movie to nail a revelatory dance scene.

On that front, "The DUFF" and its leads pass with flying colors.

"Maps to the Stars"

"Maps to the Stars" is such a deliriously perfect title for a Hollywood send-up that it's amazing it hasn't been used in that form before. The tritest of all exercises in voyeuristic celebrity worship, that flimsy fold-up guide to the homes of actors and actresses represents the ultimate divide between the "haves" and "have-nots."

But David Cronenberg's film is not really about outsiders.

Everyone in this portrait of the industry — whether it's a fading star (Julianne Moore) with a Hollywood pedigree, a teenage box-office juggernaut (Evan Bird), or a limo driver with dreams (Robert Pattinson) — is an insider in some way.

Even the mysterious girl Agatha with the leather gloves and burn marks on her face fresh off the bus (Mia Wasikowska) quickly snags a job as a personal assistant to Moore's Havana Segrand. Her Twitter friend, Carrie Fisher (as herself), gets her the gig.

"Maps to the Stars" is a strange and intoxicating mix of satire, ghost story and family melodrama, with a plot and ultimate point that remains hazy throughout despite an ardently linear structure.

At the start, Cronenberg flits from character to character as viewers try to glean how they all fit together.

The striving Weiss family is ultimately the nucleus of the film. The father, Stafford (John Cusack), is a TV famous selfhelp therapist to the stars, including Havana, while the mother Christina (Olivia Williams) manages their superstar offspring Benji (Evan Bird), fresh out of rehab at only 13.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong disturbing violence and sexual content, graphic nudity, language and some drug material."

RUNNING TIME: 111 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"'71"

The grimly gripping thriller "'71" plunges a young, inexperienced British soldier into the mayhem of 1970s Belfast.

Private Gary Hook (the up-and-coming "Unbroken" star Jack O'Connell) and his fellow fresh soldiers have little sense of The Troubles, as the North Ireland conflict was called. Given their orders to ship out from England shortly after basic training, they're assured they're not leaving the country. But it's more like another world. Promptly sent onto the burning streets of Belfast in berets, not riot gear, they find themselves tossed into an urban war zone ready to boil.

At first the resistance is almost charming: Boys toss bags of urine at them. A clamor grows as women clang trash can lids on the row-house sidewalk. Soon, they're surrounded by a screaming mob: old and young, men and women. As their ranks splinter, a soldier beside Hook is shot point-blank in the head by an IRA youngster. In the melee, Hook is left behind to survive a night on his own in a city divided between Catholics and Protestants but where battle lines are invisible to an outsider. "'71," directed by the French-born British filmmaker Yann Demange, is a tightly controlled cannon-ball dive into a violent history. Taking place over one night in which a disoriented Hook tries to survive an unfamiliar city and an unfamiliar conflict, "'71" is plotted like an action film but made with the moodiness of the art house.O'Connell's Hook doesn't do much talking.

RATED: R for "strong violence, disturbing images, and language throughout."

"The DUFF" carries on teen tradition

By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press All teen comedies owe some debt to John Hughes and Amy Heckerling.

The milieu of suburban teenage life that they explored decades ago has defined the genre since. The social divisions, the boredom, the dances, the irrepressible awkwardness and the irrational dreaminess of high school students never before seemed so accessible, and so neatly packaged with a perfect soundtrack — even if their scope was rather limited to a particular set of middle class students.

It's no surprise that we continue to tell slightly different variations of the same story.

There are still outcasts and bullies and war stories to be told from the halls of suburban high schools, and every generation deserves its own silly teenage misfit story. While it's neither as biting as "Mean Girls" nor as sweetly referential as "Easy A," the earnest and sometimes amusing "The DUFF" is a fine addition to the canon.

In the film, Mae Whitman stars as Bianca, an overall-wearing overachiever who's just trying to navigate her senior year alongside her two best friends Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca A. Santos).

But their dynamic is not equal, the handsome, popular and sweetly dim-witted football player Wesley (Robbie Amell) bluntly informs Bianca at a party. Bianca, he explains,

is the Designated Ugly Fat Friend (aka "The DUFF") of the group. She's the one who goes unnoticed till someone wants to gain access to her comparably more beautiful friends.

This revelation causes Bianca to take off on her own, unfriending her longtime pals (in the only way that contemporary kids might know how — on every last social media site) and convincing Wesley to help her break out of DUFF prison.

On its face, with the popular guy teaching the misfit girl how to fit in, it's like "Can't Buy Me Love" in reverse. Or "Some Kind of Wonderful" in reverse. Or even "She's All That," but without the bet.

But then director Ari Sandel takes a modern turn. In "Mean Girls," chaos ensues when the

queen bee makes hard copies of the secretfilled and reputation destroying "burn book."

Here, Wesley's vindictive on-again, off-again girlfriend Madison (Bella Thorne, taking her "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" brat to the next level) just has to press send on an embarrassing video.

The act of digital aggression spreads rapidly throughout a school hungry for someone else to laugh at, and Bianca becomes even more of a social pariah.

In some ways, "The DUFF" is an up-to-theminute and empowering version of the stories we know all too well. Bianca doesn't want or need to be popular in the classic sense. She just wants to be treated as her own person.

"McFarland, USA" a true winner

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge When the issue of a sports drama arises, there is no greater match for Disney, the studio behind such greats as "Miracle" and "Remember the Titans," than actor Kevin Costner whose work with baseball specifically has led to some of the greatest works in the history of this genre. I cite "Bull Durham," of course, but the fable that is "Field of Dreams" even more emphatically.

Quite truthfully, when he builds it, we come. A lot of the credit for the success of "McFarland, USA" is due directly by the strength of his performance as real life coach Jim White.

When the abrasive educator and coach that is Jim White relocates

his family to the bottom of California, they find McFarland, a town about as poor as they come.

He hadn't chosen this last option for his wife (Maria Bello) or girls (Morgan Saylor, Elsie Fisher), but a lost temper and a charge of endangerment has led him to this one final chance to redeem himself as the leader of young people.

When the football program proves to be a waste of time, talent, and resources, White - as the largely Mexican student population call him - decides that he'll try his hand at the newly-sanctioned (for 1987, when the movie is set) team sport of cross-county running. He's first laughed at, then ignored, as he molds together a team from the kids at the school that don't have much expectations for their life beyond

picking lettuce, shucking almonds, and eventually serving a sentence in the nearby penitentiary.

Anchoring "Blanco's" sevenboy team is Thomas Valles (Carlos Pratts), a hearty kid who spends all of his time running, enduring both the brutal heat, constant financial pressures, and an absent/abusive father. Thomas is fast and he's angry and he's the perfect type of character for this movie. And he happens to be a real person. A late night scene between coach and star athlete highlight both Thomas's desperation and Jim's fatherly affection in a way that brought tears to my eyes. Also on the team are the three Diaz brothers, significantly Danny (Ramiro Rodriguez), the chubby, friendly kid whose main purpose is to fill the last roster

spot and keep his far more athletic brothers interested in staying on the team. Danny's comic relief and plucky eleventh hour makeover are easily the most sentimental thing about a film that never struggles to pull at the old heartstrings.

There's not a lot of strategy for running long distances, I suppose, though McFarland does a fine job of bringing attention to a sport that I knew nothing about when I walked into that auditorium last night.

What you really need to know is that the lowest score wins, but the movie is most enjoyable when we find rationale for competition from each runner. Thomas uses the chip on his shoulder to find fault in the skinny, arrogant "country club" boys that he competes against from wealthier communities like Palo

March 5, 2015

Alto and Sherman Oaks. Nothing is a purer form or motivation than be casually dismissed by your peers as inconsequential. Nothing illustrates this fact more than the way in which so many people in McFarland address White. "Why would a man like you..?" he's asked numerous times. 'What kind of man am I' is something that every man struggles to answer at some point in his life. This movie will show you what kind of men Jim White and his Cougars are. A closing montage about how this goofy team bettered itself collectively plays just before the film's end and I was proud of them. Much like their town was.

"McFarland, USA" runs 129 minutes and is rated PG for thematic material, some violence, and language.

For The Edge

Denise Thimes (center), Peter Martin at the piano, Chris Thomas on bass and Montez Coleman on drums perform on City of Music, broadcast March 16 and 17 on Nine PBS.

St. Louis – City of Music Nine Network to present a two-hour special For The Edge The Nine Network explores the legacy and contributions of St. Louis to America’s music heritage in City of Music, a twohour special broadcast in two parts: on Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m. on Nine PBS. City of Music weaves historic narrative and interviews with performances recorded live at the Sheldon Concert Hall in fall 2014 with some of St. Louis’ top musicians including Peter Martin, Denise Thimes, Kim Massie, Billy Peek and the St. Louis Ragtimers. Each performance illustrates a musical genre—such as ragtime, jazz, blues, R&B, rock ’n’ roll, alt country, hip hop and classical music—sometimes as a straightup tribute, and sometimes as a modern interpretation or crossgenre fusion. Singer and recording artist Brian Owens hosts the special.

The program features the premiere of three original compositions performed by the acclaimed ensemble Alarm Will Sound: “St. Louis Reds,” an homage to W.C. Handy’s iconic “St. Louis Blues” by Stefan Freund of Alarm Will Sound; “con/influences,” also by Freund, a wide-ranging celebration of music in St. Louis; and “Miles-Re-Vision,” a work by pianist

Peter Martin inspired by the music of Miles Davis and the legacy of St. Louis artists and composers over the years.

Among the highlights in City of Music’s two hours of music history are pianist John Orfe playing a medley of Scott Joplin rags, Denise Thimes singing “St. Louis Blues,” Two Times True and trumpeter Randy Holmes playing Miles Davis’ “Dig,” Kim Massie belting an R&B version of Tina Turner ’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “Proud Mary,” Billy Peek rocking out to Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” and host Brian Owens and Peter Martin uniting to pay tribute to the late Donny Hathaway’s cover of Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend.”

In interviews, Larry Morris talks about “hip hop fusion” with his group iLLPHONiCS; St. Louis Symphony Music Director David Robertson discusses the symphony’s deep roots in the city and versatile talents of its orchestra members; General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis Timothy O’Leary explains how the company draws a worldwide audience for annual opera presentations; and Jazz St. Louis President and CEO Gene Dobbs Bradford reflects on collaborations with other music institutions.

City of Music is a Nine Network of Public Media

production in collaboration with the Sheldon Concert Hall, produced by Patrick Murphy, vice president of production for the Nine Network, with creative consultant Paul Reuter, executive director of the Sheldon Concert Hall, with the support of the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation.

and ‘50s. Their repertoire also explores the broader world of Latin-American music - the tunes that Dizzy would have been playing today.

Musicians are drawn from the high-caliber pool of New York-based talent that frequent the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band and All Star groups, such as trumpeter Freddie Hendrix, saxophonist Sharel Cassity, Brazilian pianist/ vocalist Abelita Mateus, drummer Tommy

Campbell and percussionist Roger Squitero.

They perform with energy, verve and style, putting their own fresh stamp on a wellknown genre.

McClinton to perform at the Sheldon

As one of today’s most revered artists, Delbert McClinton’s blend of juke-joint blues, country, soul and rock n’ roll has earned him multiple Gammy Aw a r d s a n d c r i t i c a l a c c l a i m t h ro u g h o u t h i s m o re - t h a n - 5 0 year career.

B o r n i n L u b b o c k , Te x a s , McClinton first gained attention with his distinctive harmonica playing on Bruce Channel’s number one single “Hey Baby.”

He went on to back blues legends such as Jimmy Reed and S o n n y B o y Wi l l i a m s o n b e f o re moving to Los Angeles in the early 1970s.

McClinton scored his first Top 10 hit in 1980 with “Giving It Up For Your Love,” which pushed the accompanying album, The Jealous Kind, into the national top 40.

The next two decades found McClinton solidifying his place as an influential song writer and solo artist. Emmylou Harris had a number one hit with his composition, “Two More Bottles o f Wi n e , ” a n d h e w on a 19 91

G r a m m y Aw a rd f o r h i s d u e t with Bonnie Raitt, “Good Man, Good Woman.”

He went on to win his first solo Grammy Award in 2001 for best contemporary blues album for Nothing Personal, followed by another in 2006 for The Cost of Living. Now, at 74 years old, McClinton continues to record and perform throughout the country, including on his very popular annual Sandy Beaches Blues Cruise.

by Lori McKenna, Liz Rose, and Hillary Lindsey, Rolling Stone has hailed the soulful ballad as a “slow, exquisitely excruciating lover ’s lament with a Phil Spectorian sense of emotional grandeur.”

Since "Pain Killer's" release on October 21, the sixth studio album from the group has seen rave reviews and has made both Billboard and Rolling Stone’s “Best Country Album of 2014” lists as well as “iTunes Best of 2014” list for “Country Album of the Year.”

The band also just received a nomination for the 2015 Grammy Awards for Best Country Duo/ G roup Performance for “Day Drinking.”

Travel Twenty-three state sites named to National Register of Historic Places For The Edge

T

he Illinois Historic Preservation Agency’s efforts to preserve and promote the state’s heritage paid off last year with 13 buildings, eight historic districts and two archaeological sites being added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The buildings and neighborhoods are scattered from Chicago to Springfield to East St. Louis. They include family homes, warehouses and government buildings. They relate to Abraham Lincoln, racial integration, Native American art, the role of immigrants in building Illinois and much more.

Sites are added to the register by the National Park Service based on recommendations from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, which houses the state’s Historic Preservation Office.

“Reading the list of sites added to the National Register last year really drives home what a wonderful legacy we enjoy in Illinois,” said Amy Martin, director of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. “Preserving historic buildings and districts helps communities stay vibrant, and this agency is proud to help the people and organizations that work so hard to make that happen.”

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Thousands of Illinois historic and prehistoric places have been designated, and more places are added each year by applicants who want the prestige, financial benefits and protections that National Register designation provides.

Every one of the 102 Illinois counties has at least one property or historic district listed in the National Register. Together, they represent a cross section of the Prairie State's history from its early settlement to the mid-20th century. In general, properties have to be more than 50 years old to be eligible. Listing on the National Register places no obligations on private property owners but does make properties eligible for some financial incentives.

The 2014 additions to the National Register from Illinois include: COLLAR COUNTIES David Hall House, Lake Villa The David Hall House, designed by Chicago architect Ralph Wesley Varney, is an inventive melding of early 20th century revival and Art Deco styles. Art Deco was rarely employed for residential architecture, particularly since the style’s popularity generally shadowed the Great Depression when fewer new homes were constructed.

Elgin Downtown Historic District, Elgin This area served as the community’s first major business center, from early shops of the 19th century to department and chain stores of the 20th.

It also was the transportation

The Edge

Glen Carbon School marked its 100th anniversary in 2014. and government heart of the community. The district contains a significant number of historic commercial structures.

William and Helen Coffeen House, Hinsdale The Coffeen House and its coach house are outstanding works by master architect George W. Maher.

Designed in 1899, they represent a pivotal period in the evolution of his Prairie School design.

The house displays the simple unadorned forms and complex details in stained glass and carved wood that Maher was developing as hallmarks of his work.

COOK COUNTY Chrysler Village, Chicago Chrysler Village exemplifies a fundamental but often unacknowledged moment in the history of housing: the partnership between private developers and the federal government to house warindustries workers during World War II. The area was named for the nearby Dodge-Chrysler Plant, home to the production of engines for the B-29 Superfortress.

Oak Park Village Hall, Oak Park Oak Park Village Hall played a key role in the village’s struggle to halt white flight. Oak Park received national attention for the way it inspired and sustained racial integration and demonstrated to other communities how to achieve a diverse mixture of white and black residents.

Portage Park Bungalow Historic District, Chicago The Portage Park Bungalow Historic District is particularly notable for its high percentage of intact brick bungalows and beautifully cohesive streetscapes.

This was one of the first areas in the neighborhood to be developed for single-family residences. A

On the Edge of the Weekend

vast majority of the houses in the district were built in the 1920s, making this district particularly important as a reflection of single-family housing of that era.

Jesse L. Strauss Estate, Glencoe The Jesse L. Strauss Estate is an excellent example of French Revival architecture. The house and historic garage/apartment were designed in 1921 and 1924 by David Adler, generally regarded as the region’s foremost countryhouse architect of that period. The Strauss House is Glencoe's only French Revival estate.

Polish National Alliance Headquarters Chicago PNA Headquarters is an excellent and well-preserved example of an ethnic fraternal building and is important for the role it played in the social, cultural and political development of Chicago’s Polish community. The building served as headquarters for the nation’s largest Polish fraternal organization from 1938 until 1976.

DOWNSTATE Heimberger House, Springfield Built in 1915, the Heimberger House is a good example of an Arts and Crafts double-house.

Even though it was a two-family home, it was built to resemble a single-family home with carefully disguised front and rear entrances.

It boasts some of the most stylish features of the period, including multiple skylights and highend Craftsman features, with an alluring street and interior presence.

Glen Carbon School, Glen Carbon Glen Carbon Grade School is important for its association with the educational history of the community. The school was built in 1914, a time considered an educational renaissance for

March 5, 2015

the area’s immigrant populations.

The building is similar in style and construction to many regional school buildings built during the early 1900s.

Marshall Site, Chillicothe vicinity The Marshall Site is significant as an example of Native American petroglyphs. The fine-lined, engraved images represent a previously unidentified technique not found in any of the other Native American rock sites in Illinois.

Jacksonville Historic District, Jacksonville The Jacksonville Historic District was listed in 1978 as a collection of predominantly residential but also educational, religious, civic and commercial buildings. The district was also important for its associations with education – most notably Illinois College and the Illinois School for the Deaf. The National Register entry has now been amended to provide additional documentation and include more areas that contributed to the district’s architectural significance.

Great Western Railroad Depot, Springfield The Great Western Railroad Depot is significant as the city’s last remaining link with its earliest phase of railroad history. Railroads made it possible for Springfield and the surrounding county to move from pioneer settlement to a market economy. The depot, which was just one story when it was built in 1852, became a tourist destination for its association with Abraham Lincoln, who gave his farewell address here before leaving for Washington, D.C. in 1861.

Morrison Main Street Historic District, Morrison The Morrison Main Street

Historic District represents the community’s evolution from a grain-shipment stop along the Air Line Railroad (later the Chicago and North Western Railroad) in the 1850s to a vibrant local commercial and business center a century later.

A majority of its buildings were designed with Italianate and High Victorian Eclectic influences.

Peoria Warehouse Historic District, Peoria The Peoria Warehouse Historic District is the city’s largest and most intact concentration of industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings. From the 1890s to the late 1920s, more than 60 buildings were erected – many associated with iron and steel fabrication, agricultural implements, grocery distribution and other wholesale businesses.

West Belleville Historic District, Belleville The district developed first as a picturesque village settled by German immigrants and then evolved into a bustling town made wealthy by the coal and brewery industries. Massive waves of German immigration around 1830 and then again in the early 1850s greatly influenced the local architecture, politics, and business enterprises.

Civilian Conservation Corps camp, near Lerna Camp Shiloh was used during the Great Depression by government workers (many of them World War I veterans) building what is today the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site. It is the only known CCC site in central Illinois to have undergone formal archaeological investigations.

Downtown East St. Louis Historic District, East St. Louis The Downtown East St. Louis Historic District is the last remaining contiguous group of cultural resources related to the twentieth century economic growth of East St. Louis. The core of downtown East St. Louis from 1900 to 1928 gave rise to buildings with the refinement of contemporary buildings in St. Louis but a distinctly local mark.

Union Trust Bank Co. Building, East St. Louis Completed between 1922 and 1926, this is an excellent example of early 20th century Classical Revival style bank design and is the last of its kind in East St. Louis. This style, associated with permanence and trust, took hold as bankers sought to regain public confidence after the Panic of 1893. Thirty years later, these associations were magnified in tumultuous East St. Louis after a series of political and social disasters. Martin House, Fulton The Martin House offers Italianate style with early 20th century architectural characteristics. The original Italianate home was built in the 1850s. The wrap-around porch, common on Queen Anne homes, was built near the turn of the century, and the dining room addition reflects features of the Arts and Crafts Style popular in the first decade of the 20th century.
