From Hollywood to Holiday Shores Retirement finds couple enjoying life on the lake

By LAURA SCATURRO Of The Edge After an award-winning career in the film industry, John Martinelli is enjoying every minute of retirement in Holiday Shores with his wife of 54 years, Norma Nonn Martinelli.

John Martinelli’s achievements as a film editor and producer make an impressive list.

They include nine Emmy nominations, four Primetime Emmys, six American Cinema Editors Eddie award nominations, two Eddies and a Cable Ace nomination. And in 2004, Martinelli received the American Cinema Editors’ prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

According to Martinelli, it was a team effort.

“Everything we’ve done has been together,” he said. “We had just a wonderful time. If you really stop and think about it, in a four-year period we lived in hotel suites for three-and-a half years in Rome, London and Tunisia. Norma changed each of them into homes and she loved to entertain.”

In 1957, Norma, a native of Granite City, was 20 years old and decided to say goodbye to her hometown for the glitz and glamour of the city of Los Angeles.

Although Granite City was enjoying its own distinction as an All-American City in the United States, she was working at a bank and wanted to head west.

“The only reason why I waited until I was 20 was that my father told me there was always money for me to come home, but never money for me to leave,” she said. “It took me two years to save up all the money so I could leave. Granite City was a great place, but a girl friend was out there and I was going to go there and do this exciting work.”

Her female friend, who worked for ABC, also worked with a young man by the name of John A. Martinelli.

Martinelli and Nonn began dating shortly after she arrived in 1959.

Norma remembers the first date – seeing a young man with a bright red blazer on his way up to her door to pick her up.

“My first thought after seeing that bright red blazer was, 'Oh my God this is never going to work,'” she said. “Then, I went downstairs and saw the brand new white Corvette and I thought – maybe.”

The couple went to the movies intending to see the film "Hole in the Head" with Frank Sinatra. However, standing in the wrong line, they ended up seeing "Room at the Top." “The first date lasted until 5 a.m. the next morning, then I picked her up at 8 a.m. and we went to breakfast in Santa Barbara,” John said. “That was the beginning of the end.”

John Martinelli knew what he wanted to do with his life from an early age.

“I wanted to start in the studios when I was 17, but I couldn’t start until age 18, so I was a produce clerk for Alexanders Markets. I told the guys I worked with, that I was going to get a phone call soon and then it will be buonanotte.”

You could say that Martinelli grew up in the “business.”

His uncle, Arthur Martinelli, was with the Lasky and Famous Players on the East Coast in the early 1920s.

“He came out west with the kids, put them in military school and then became Harry Cohen’s first cameraman,” he said. “Harry Cohen was the president of Columbia

Laura Scaturro/The Edge

John Martinelli displays his film editing and producer awards which include four Primetime Emmys, two American Cinema Editors Eddies, and his American Cinema Editors' prestigious Lifetime Achieve Award that he received in 2004.

Pictures and my dad became an editor. It was 1925 and nepotism was alive and well. My mother, at the age of 16, was a private secretary for the head of Allied Studio and my sister, Nancy Martinelli, was a costumer for various producers including Mel Brooks.”

In fact, the day after Nancy graduated from Columbia’s costume internship, they put her on a plane to Mexico for a movie starring Dean Martin. Martinelli’s grandmother was an extra and his grandfather was a studio painter at 20th Century Fox. Martinelli’s father, the late Tony Martinelli, edited for Republic Pictures and is cited on IMDb.com with 185 editing credits including many popular 1950s and 1960s television shows such as “It Takes a Thief” starring Robert Wagner, “Wagon Train” and “Ironside.”

John said that although he never worked with his dad, when he turned 18 years old, his dad made one call to the head of the union and said, "My kid’s 18."

Martinelli’s career in Hollywood began with that moment.

In those days, newcomers to the business started in the trenches and worked their way to the top. John began his award-winning career in the film shipping department at ABC. He inspected films, made replacements, replaced commercials and shipped prints out to over 180 points across the United States.

“The shipping department had a dirt floor,” he said. “It was the old studio where Al Jolson filmed 'The Jazz Singer' in 1928. It was a lot of fun. ABC was the baby then and the budget was small. I remember Frank Sinatra was doing live television there and he couldn’t get enough people in for the taping, so they’d come 10 minutes before taping and get us on set and we’d become the audience.”

John continued to move up the ranks. As an assistant editor, he was working on the “Lawrence Welk Show” which aired on Saturday evenings. The show, hosted by big band leader Welk, was extremely popular and the live taping sessions drew so many people that they were lined up around the block.

“I was the only guy in the world paid to watch Lawrence Welk,” he said. “It was an hour show and we used a Kinescope then. It’s a camera

placed in front of a projector lens and it’s recording while being projected by a projector. They would “kine” on Saturday night, and I would time each number as it played. I had Sunday and Monday off, so when we’d go in on Tuesday at 2 o’clock we’d find out how many minutes we had to take out. Then we would make a new negative from the kine, then go to the lab to make 16 mm prints and it was shipped out.”

Martinelli and his wife have hundreds of stories from their 43year Hollywood career that took them across the United States and Europe.

He has edited both television and movies, starring human actors and animals, such as “Flipper” and “Gentle Ben.” In 1962, Martinelli was drafted into the U.S. Army as a private.

He was stationed in Kenai, Alaska, and worked at the base television station. Norma, now his wife, was allowed to join him.

“All the sergeants from the television station are there checking her coming off the plane," he said.

"She walked down the plane's steps in slacks, a long black coat and large white sunglasses. The sergeants said, ‘There’s our weather girl'” Norma said, "I wasn't the Granite City girl coming off of that plane, I was a California girl."

And, Norma indeed became the television station's weather girl.

After his stint with the military, John returned to California, and, with the help of his mentor, Jimmy Potter of Four Star, got another break in the business. Potter pulled him into pictures and he became an assistant picture editor.

That experience led to invitation for John to come to Miami, Florida where he got his first chance to cut an episode. He was now a full-fledged film editor for the show “Flipper.”

He has not only worked for great directors and producers during his years in film, he also worked with some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women such as Veronica Hamel, Dyan Cannon, Farrah Fawcett, Kim Basinger, Daryl Hannah, Natalie Wood and Elizabeth Montgomery.

“Natalie Wood was a class act,” he said. “We were doing a movie of the week called 'The Cracker Factory' and she had to play a role of an alcoholic. She insisted on no makeup

and took her earrings off. She also brought her little dog, Potatoes, who she thought the character needed for the picture. Natalie was not a prima donna that so many of them are.”

Norma agrees with her husband’s exceptional assessment of Wood and Montgomery.

“Those two were wonderful people,” she said.

Martinelli always went into a picture with optimism regardless of the topic or actors, travelling and living across the United States and Europe – wherever he was needed.

He recalls his father’s advice about film editing: “let the film lead you.”

“I’ve always done that,” he said.

“They (producers) think you’re a savior but you learn the rules. Once you know the rules you can break them, but you need to know the rules.”

At the beginning of her husband’s career Norma had been offered various acting and supporting positions but the couple decided that the separation and dual careers would have destroyed their life together.

Although she took smaller, less intrusive roles, one position offered by the manager of the rock band Credence Clearwater Revival to become their advance person for the band when on tour was the toughest one to turn down.

“I worked enough during the years to make me happy,” said Norma, who loves to live out of a suitcase. “I was able to host so many parties and events throughout our travels.”

At the age of 35, Martinelli picked up his first Emmy for the TV movie “The Legend of Lizzie Bordon” starring Elizabeth Montgomery.

“It was a nice surprise,” he recalled.

“That was only year where everybody that was nominated was on camera at the award show. It was held at the Hollywood Palladium and we were seated at a table with the other nominees for the movie.”

Martinelli said the original plan to distribute the awards that year directly to the winner’s table was scraped. Instead, the award nominees would be ushered backstage during a commercial break.

When the Martinelli’s saw the nominees from the television miniseries "QB VII," who they were up against, taken backstage they figured they had lost. Suddenly, Martinelli was called to come

May 1, 2014

backstage – evidently there was a tie - and Martinelli won his first Emmy for Outstanding Film Editing for Entertainment Programming for a Special along with Byron 'Buzz' Brandt and Irving Rosenblum for “QB VII.” “They pushed me out on the stage and the stage floor looked like a glass floor,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘Do I dare walk out there?' After you receive the Emmy, as you walk off the stage and the cameras are off of you, they grab the Emmy and take it right out of your hands. It had to be engraved.”

Another actor the Martinellis thought truly special was Rock Hudson.

“I did a picture with him called ‘Embryo,’” Martinelli said. “Theater owners funded it and they got their money back, but it was a bizarre science fiction movie.”

Norma said her favorite part of the movie is when the camera pans the title character’s bedroom and on the dresser is a photo frame of the character’s wife. The photograph in the frame is none other than Norma Martinelli.

John said one story he likes to share is when he was asked to edit the 10hour mini-series "Marco Polo" which was being filmed in Italy.

Martinelli recalls, “NBC called me and said get over there. We arrived in Rome and it was a total disaster – cuts were long and disorganized. It was antiquated the way they edited. We edited the new footage and re-edited the old footage.

“Enrico Marconi was writing the score and they wanted to see the end of the picture to complete their score. I had no idea of what the end was going to look like, the film was still in Italy. The whole process was haphazard.”

The picture did get edited, aired and, in 1983, won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Mini-Series and John received his seventh Emmy nomination for Outstanding Editing.

“It was a slow picture, but the producer, Vincenzo Labella, picked us up to go to the Primetime Emmys and the picture won. And, this is why I love these people, Vincenzo makes his speech and says, in front of everyone in the academy, “and, I have my editor here.”

John said that the "Marco Polo" mini-series was filmed in various locations including China in 1980, which at the time, was quite a coup to get permission to film inside the complex and capture scenes beyond the door opening into the Forbidden City.

In 2000, the Martinellis left Hollywood behind and settled into small town life.

“I wanted to have holidays here, while keeping our home in California,” Norma said. “We looked for a year for a place by a lake. We looked at the East Coast, Kentucky Lake and Dunlap Lake, finally settling in Holiday Shores, close to our condo in Forest Park. I can’t have a lake house in Los Angeles for the cost here. There is so much more you can do here. Dining here is very good, too, in the St. Louis area.”

Norma loves Los Angeles, but John, a Hollywood native, is happy to stay here. They did visit Los Angeles together when Martinelli received his Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Cinema Editors in 2004 and they return when they can to visit old friends.

Nowadays, Martinelli says he drags his “four ladies” out for show and tell when his nieces and nephews come to visit. He said, “The past was incredible and the present is all I could wish for.”

People 560 Music Center to host 85th Annual Fashion Design Show For The Edge

A

fashion show is still a show. It has lights, music, glamour — and, of course, fantastic clothes. But in the end, it’s all about your audience.

“There are certain projects where you can go out on a limb and get a little crazy,” says Jennifer Ingram, a lecturer in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. “But you always center on the customer. You never design without a customer in mind.”

At 6 p.m. Sunday, May 4, Ingram will lead 26 aspiring designers in presenting the Sam Fox School’s 85th Annual Fashion Design Show.

The fully choreographed, Parisstyle extravaganza — which features dozens of models wearing scores of outfits — will take place in the Ballroom Theater of WUSTL’s 560 Music Center.

Tickets are $65 for general seating or $50 for students and WUSTL faculty and staff. Tickets are available through the Edison Theatre Box Office, (314) 935-6543.

(Discounted tickets, of $45 and $35, are available prior to April 27.)

For more information, email samfoxschool@wustl.edu.

Developing new looks The Fashion Design Show dates back to 1929, when Irving L. Sorger, merchandise manager for Kline’s department store, was struck by the lack of clothing marketed specifically to high school girls and college-age women.

To get a sense of just what those customers might want, Sorger met with WUSTL student designers and later organized a show for local garment manufacturers.

Eight dresses were selected for

production. Juniors fashion, for decades a staple of the St. Louis garment industry, was born.

Today, though clothes manufacturing has largely moved abroad, the concept of designing for a particular customer, or “muse,” remains a core tenant of the WUSTL

On the Edge of the Weekend

fashion design program.

In addition to fabrics, construction and tailoring, “students have to understand costs and budgets and target markets,” says Ingram, herself a 2004 alumna.

“Once you know who the customer is, you can develop new looks for them.”

The fit is the key This year ’s show will open with cotton tunics designed by sophomores, followed by jackets and pants from the junior class.

“We start with tunics because they’re pretty easy to construct,” Ingram says. “It’s a front piece and a back piece.

You don’t have to deal with armholes or crazy seams.

“Jackets are much more difficult,” Ingram says. “We really focus on sleeves, seaming and fit.

The fit is the key. You can make something beautiful, but if the fit isn’t right, it just doesn’t work.”

For the seniors, “We begin with sportswear and dress groups because it teaches them to build a collection,” Ingram says. “They learn to create separates, to mix and match, to put an entire look together.”

Each piece in Claudia Frolova’s knit collection, for example, features a custom print inspired by the subways of New York, while Camille Wright offers contemporary twists on traditional Senegalese garments.

In the dress group, Ruth Schmalenberger pairs a handmade navy corset with a flowing yet impeccably structured skirt.

Madeleine Docherty’s bright red “Flame Dress” features elaborate wiring in the neck and shoulders.

Signature collections But perhaps the highlight of the evening will be the seniors’

signature collections. The fashion equivalent to a graduating thesis, each is a fully coordinated clothing line tailored to a specific audience and based on a specific theme.

Docherty, for example, built her signature collection entirely from recycled fabrics. Virginia Stattman creates adventurous women’s wear based on traditional men’s tailoring. Cherise Matthew offers clean, texture-oriented designs inspired by dance.

Laura Desch uses hand-painted silk to balance modern geometries with soft, fluid shapes. Hillary Lux employs bold patterns and strong yet wearable silhouettes to foster a sense of interplay between positive and negative space.

“Many students have done sportswear this year, but the collections are all very different,” Ingram says. “It’s a strong group, but it’s hard to put any two designers into the same category.

“They all have different perspectives,” Ingram says.

“There’s a lot of individual passion.”

Organizers and co-sponsors Jurors for the 85th Annual Fashion Show will be Tania Beasley-Jolly of Saks Fifth Avenue; alumna Susan Block, owner of The Designing Block; and Jennifer Meyer, assistant director of career development in the Sam Fox School.

Stylists are led by Dominic Bertani of the Dominic Michael Salon, who has done the models

hair for 25 years. The models’ makeup will be done by students from The Paul Mitchell School.

Lighting, audio and runway tech is by Ironman Sound. Gift bags are sponsored by Plaza Frontenac.

Robin VerHage-Abrams, associate professor and area coordinator for fashion, will introduce a variety of scholarships, cash prizes and awards.

Among the awards is the Dominic Michael Silver Scissors Designer of the Year Award, which is presented to one outstanding senior at the end of the evening.

Block — who has helped organize the show for 20 years — sponsors the Silver Ripper Award, presented to one outstanding junior. BeasleyJolly will present the Saks Fifth Avenue Honorary Designer Award.

Other fashion faculty include Lou Ann Card, Jonathan Navy and alumna Claire Thomas-Morgan (BFA ’08).

The 560 Music Center is located in University City, at 560 Trinity Ave., near the intersection with Delmar Boulevard. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

A meet-and-greet with designers will immediately follow the show, at 7 p.m.

Formal looks are currently previewed in a special exhibition, through April 23, at Plaza Frontenac. Afterwards, works by the winner of the Honorary Designer Award will be featured in a two-week showing at Saks.

People People planner Science Center to screen D-Day film

The Saint Louis Science Center and 3D Entertainment Distribution invite audiences to step back in time with the new giant screen theater film D-Day: Normandy 1944, which opens at the Science Center’s OMNIMAX Theater on April 25, 2014.

In May 1943, World War II is at its apex. To counter Hitler and the Axis forces, the Allies decide to open a second front on the western side of Europe. The Allied forces, led by U.S. General Eisenhower, have just months to organize the operation code-named “Overlord,” with only a 50/50 chance of success, that will break Hitler’s Atlantic Wall fortress and lead to the Battle of Normandy.

Narrated by renowned journalist and author Tom Brokaw, D-Day: Normandy 1944 provides a new, penetrating look at this defining moment in history in a truly unique manner. D-Day itself is well-known, yet few know in detail exactly why and how, from the end of 1943 through August 1944, this became the most important location in the world.

“We wanted to make a film to pay tribute to the millions of men and women, soldiers and civilians, who gave their lives for our freedom 70 years ago. Regardless of nationality, virtually everyone today has a parent, grandparent or even a greatgrandparent with a connection to World War II,” explained writer and director Pascal Vuong. “I thought for a long time about how to produce a large format documentary on this subject, and finally found my own way of telling this complex story to family audiences using a brand-new ‘cocktail,’ mixing innovative film techniques.”

Blending multiple cinematographic formats, including animation, CGI and stunning liveaction images, D-Day: Normandy 1944 brings this monumental event to the world’s largest screens for the very first time. Exploring science, t e c h n o l o g y, e n g i n e e r i n g a n d mathematics, audiences of all ages, including new generations, will discover from a new perspective in breathtaking OMNIMAX how this landing changed the course of history.

“What I was drawn to in this film is that it tells us the story of D-Day in a new way that gives such clarity to one of the most important events in the history of mankind,” said Brokaw. “I originally thought this was going to be another traditional documentary featuring grainy black and white footage, but as soon as I saw the first minutes of this film on the giant OMNIMAX screen, I found it irresistible.”

“After seeing this film, we think our audiences will feel a deeper gratitude for the courage and sacrifices of these champions of freedom,” said Bert Vescolani, president and CEO of the Saint Louis Science Center. “And, because we are a science center, we hope our audiences will discover a deeper appreciation of the science, engineering and technology involved in this monumental event.”

Over three years in the making and with a budget of $5 million, all live-action sequences for the film were shot exclusively on location in Normandy, France. No fewer than five CGI and visual special effects companies also collaborated under the creative leadership of N3D LAND Films to complete the 43-

6

minute film.

The second large format documentary film from writer and director Vuong, D-Day: Normandy 1944 is produced by N3D LAND P ro d u c t i o n s a n d d i s t r i b u t e d worldwide by 3D Entertainment Distribution. Ronan Chapalain is responsible for the stereography and post production, and retired Colonel Peter Herrly is the main historical advisor. The original musical score was written by Franck Marchal and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra with conductor Paul Rouger. Producers are Catherine and Pascal Vuong and Sylvain Grain, and Normand McKay served as associate producer.

The 70th anniversary of D-Day will be marked by national and local commemorations on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as in Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia throughout 2014.

Library and Museum, where it will be on display for years to come. Children can explore the exhibit free of charge when accompanied by an adult.

The exhibit, “Lincoln: History to Hollywood,” includes the set for Lincoln’s office, part of Mary Lincoln’s bedroom set, costumes worn by the actors and a variety of props used in the movie.

It’s being displayed at Union Station, just across the street from the presidential museum. The station will serve as an annex to the presidential museum where visitors can tour the exhibit and see video presentations about the movie.

“Steven Spielberg is a master story-teller, and ‘Lincoln’ is a classic. Movie buffs of all ages are going to come here to see this exhibit,” said Amy Martin, director of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. “And when they visit, they’re going to be caught up in the fascinating life of our greatest president.”

“Lincoln” earned Academy Awards for Daniel Day-Lewis as Best Actor and Rick Carter for Best Production Design.

“It is an honor to have this exhibit at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library a n d M u s e u m , ” S p i e l b e rg s a i d when plans for the exhibit were announced. “When we visited for research on the film, it was

our thought that there might be an opportunity to bring such an exhibit to Springfield, and that is now a reality.”

The sets and costumes are o n l o a n f r o m D r e a m Wo r k s Studios. This allows the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum to present the display at minimal cost to visitors.

Children can tour the special exhibit at Union Station for free when accompanied by an adult.

The cost for adults is just $5.

Adults also have the option of buying the new “full experience” package allowing them to tour the entire presidential library and museum and the new movie exhibit for $15. That’s just $3 m o re t h a n t h e b a s i c m u s e u m admission price, which is not changing.

Lincoln’s office is the key set in the movie. That’s where the president ponders how to pass a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery and pushes his aides to get the job done.

The exhibit also includes a vignette of Mary Lincoln’s bedroom, the setting for emotional confrontations between husband and wife.

Vi s i t o r s c a n s e e O s c a r nominated costumes for Lincoln, his wife and his son Tad. Props include the stethoscope from the scene of Lincoln’s death, Tad’s toys and gloves used by Daniel

People People planner Circus Flora to open May 29

The beloved St. Louis institution , Circus Flora, powered by Ameren, returns for its 28th season to present "The Pawn," a chess game brought to life through the circus.

The World CHess Hall of Fame and the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis partner with the circus to create a delightfully imaginative world under the big top next to Powell Hall, May 29 to June 22.

Every June, more than 30,000 audience members gather under the big top and leave behind the everyday, entering a place of intrigue and awe. Here the impossible is possible. Adults as well as children are enthralled by a performance that captures their imaginations and transports them to a bygone era. The Circus Flora experience is palpable: the audience is completely immersed in a spellbinding story that is woven through every detail, from

performers to costumes to original music.

Drawing from the history of chess, this mythic tale is steeped in right sights, sounds and the mystique of ancient Persia and India. The audience will journey to an exotic world where myth and intellect collide, and the stone city surrenders to the desert's every shifting sands. Follow the Pawn t h ro u g h h i s j o u r n e y t h ro u g h curious creatures and intrigues: knights on mounted steed, bishops zigzagging across colored squares, chess pieces flying through the air.

In this world, the chess pieces do not wait to be moved. They have their own adventures to play out under the big top.

The tale is presented by a cast of hand-picked and internationally renowned circus artists. Making his debut under Circus Flora's big top, clown Andy Kuchler plays the Pawn, maneuvering through the enchanting world of the chess board, encountering friends and foes along the way. Kuchler will

meet performers and characters such as an equestrian bareback rider, S. Caleb Carinci-Asch, as he balances fearlessly atop his galloping horse. From Finland and making their U.S. debut, Duo Kate and Pasi will captivate with hand-to-hand and foot juggling finesse. Andriy Bilobrov and his Jack Russell Terriers will show the audience man's best friends like never before. Claire Kuciejczyk-Kernan mesmerizes the crowd from above with daring swinging-trapesze performance.

Also joining this year are six rare, blue-eyed pied camels from the Canary Islands. "The Pawn" will also feature celebrated Colombian flying trapeze artists, The Flying Cortes, who will introduce new twists, spins and summersaults as well as returning favorites The Flying Wallendas and local troupe, The St. Louis Arches.

Circus Flora presents a truly

immersive experience unlike anything else in the country. As artistic director and producer David Balding explains, "Sometimes we need respite from our everyday realities. Circus Flora takes you out of the ordinary, and deep into a magical world. Once you enter the big top, you forget everything else."

Circus Flora will not only thrill its audience, but it will woo with a beautiful storyline, delight with its comedy and – like any good work of art – is is an experience that is impossible to forget.

Tickets are now on sale for Circus Flora’s 27th big-top production, "The Pawn," powered by Ameren.

Call 314-289-4040 or visit www. circusflora.org for tickets. Tickets are also available at the Circus Flora Box Office at 3547 Olive Street in Grand Center.

Music Tuning in Jackson Browne plans acoustic tour

Singer-Songwriter Jackson Browne announces a solo acoustic tour this July and August. Playing guitar and piano, Jackson will perform songs from his entire body of work, with varying set lists each night. Advance ticket details are available at www.jacksonbrowne. com.

B ro w n e w i l l a p p e a r a t t h e Peabody Opera House in St. Louis on July 7.

2014 will also see two new J a c k s o n B ro w n e re l e a s e s . To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Late For The Sky, originally released in September 1974, the album has been re-mastered and will be released later this year on 180gram vinyl (standard 33 1/3 RPM), all digital platforms, and also, on CD in a new eco-digipak in a partnership between Rhino Records and Inside

Recordings. Also, this fall, Jackson will release a new studio album, the thirteenth of his career.

Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2007. Beyond his music, he is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE) and Nukefree.org.

The Fox to welcome Jack White

Jack White has announced a 2014 U.S. tour that includes a stop at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on

Sunday, July 20th at 7:30pm. Tickets went on sale Friday, April 11th at 10am through MetroTix. Tickets are available online at MetroTix.com, by calling 314-534-1111 or in person at the Fox Theatre Box office.

Jack White’s upcoming new album, Lazaretto, is scheduled for release June 9th on Third Man Records. Lazaretto inhabits an exciting place in White’s expansive discography as the follow-up to 2012′s gold-certified international #1 Blunderbuss, and will be preceded by first single and title track “Lazaretto,” to be released later this month.

Born the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past fifteen years.

When the White Stripes started in 1997 no one, least of all Jack, ever expected that a red, white and black two-piece band would take hold in

the mainstream world. The band's self-titled debut and sophomore effort De Stijl amassed critical acclaim and built a passionate underground following, but it was

the release of 2001’s White Blood Cells that thrust the White Stripes onto magazine covers as they captivated larger audiences through worldwide touring.

Music Tuning in Fans of the hit NBC show, “The Voice,” can finally see their favorite contestants live as the season’s talented top Finalists and favorite past stars hit the road on a huge summer tour. Talpa Media and AEG Live announced today the 31-show concert tour launches June 21st in San Antonio, TX. Tickets are on sale at www.thevoice.com/tour and www.aeglive.com.

The tour will stop July 20 at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis.

O'Jays to perform at The Fox

Fox Concerts presents The O'Jays and Chaka Kahn on Friday, June 20 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $125, $90, $75, $65, $55, $45 and are on sale online at metrotix. com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.

The O'Jays are living legends…

American treasures. The term "living legend" is often overused and abused, but with The O'Jays, well, there's little argument that the honorable tag truly applies.

With their place in modern music secure, The O'Jays could have cruisecontrolled to that comfy hammock on a sandy beach, umbrella-decorated drinks in hand. Why? (1) An oceanwide body of work that spawned 24 Top Ten smashes and 59 total charted songs. (2) Incredibly energetic and dynamic live shows. (3) Mad respect for their Olympian vocals. And (4) their social and political impact on generations and nations.

But doing things slowly is not Eddie Levert, Sr., Walter Williams, Sr. and Eric Nolan Grant’s modus operandi. After 40+ years making such international hits as "Back Stabbers," "For The Love Of Money," "Darlin' Darlin' Baby," "Love Train," "I Love Music," "Use Ta Be My Girl" and "Have You Had Your Love Today,".

There have been “four faces” of The O’Jays. This vocal group from Canton, Ohio originated with Eddie Levert, SR., Walter Williams, SR., William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles and they were named after Cleveland DJ Eddie O’Jay. Isles left the group in 1965. Massey left to become a record producer in 1971 and Levert, Williams and Powell continues as a trio. Powell retired from touring due to illness in late 1975, passing at the age of 35 in 1977 and was replaced by Sammy Strain, formerly with Little Anthony & The Imperials. Strain returned to his former group in 1993 and was

replaced by Nathaniel Best. After the departure in 1995 of Nathaniel Best, Eddie Levert, SR. and Walter Williams, SR. reached out to Eric Nolan Grant, a gifted vocalist who was already a part of the group’s extended Cleveland-based musical family. Their chart-topping album “Love You To Tears” marked Grant’s first appearance with the group.

Chaka Khan is one of the world's most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy, the 10time GRAMMY® Award-winner is looking forward to a celebration of a lifetime. A songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur and activist, Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. She has the rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music and classical.

Affectionately known around the world as Chaka, she is revered by millions of fans as well as her peers for her timeless, classic and unmatched signature music style and ability. The late, great Miles Davis often said, "She [Chaka] sings like my horn." And the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin says, "[Chaka] is a one- of- a -kind, premier vocalist."

Church to appear in St. Louis

Eric Church’s The Outsiders World Tour will launch in North America on September 11, 2014 with 31 arena dates being announced today. Tickets for the tour, which beings in Bossier City, Louisiana, will go on sale April 18 in select markets with additional information made available on E r i c C h u rc h . c o m . M e m b e r s o f the Church Choir will have access to a pre-sale starting on April 15.

Church selected Dwight Yoakam as the special guest for the entire tour. Opening the tour on different dates throughout the first leg will be rising country music duo Brothers Osborne, critically acclaimed singer/ songwriter Brandy Clark, or the hard rocking band Halestorm.

Hailed as a top entertainer by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN Magazine, and more, Church will bring his rip-roaring attitude when he performs at venues such as Madison Square Garden, Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the Sprint Center in Kansas City, the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, Thompson-Boling

Arena in Knoxville, and FedExForum in Memphis, among others. Church will also return to the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C. where he sold more than 15,000 tickets in 2012 as part of his headlining arena tour, The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour—which Pollstar named a Top Tour of 2012.

While The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour employed a succession of backdrops as the focus of the show, Church's The Outsiders World Tour will use a much more high tech design and will offer fans a 360° view of the entertainer and his band.

Church will perform at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Sept.

13.

On sale dates and ticket information for each market will be announced on EricChurch.com. The best seats on The Outsiders World Tour will once again be paperless so fans get them instead of scalpers.

A limited number of VIP tickets for each show will also be available for purchase. Each VIP ticket includes a premium ticket in the first 15 rows or in the general admission pit, an invitation to a pre-show party at The Outsiders Joint, a two song acoustic pre-show performance by

Eric Church, a limited edition show poster, and a dedicated VIP concert concierge.

Fans have the chance to gain access to pre-sale tickets for each show by becoming a Standard or Premium member of the Church Choir. Join the Church Choir by visiting http:// smarturl.it/churchchoir.

Church’s current album, The Outsiders, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard Country Albums Chart earlier this year, and his current hit single “Give Me Back My Hometown,” is Top 5-and-rising.

“Eric Church is working on a level that few other country artists of his generation can touch,” said Ken Tucker at NPR Music in his review of the album, continuing, “Shrewd, defiant, sly and funny, Eric Church has succeeded in what he set out to do: He’s using the power he’s accrued from making hit records to make exactly the kind of album he wants, heedless of industry approval. And this is how good he is: Now he’ll go out and — through the singles he’ll release, the touring he’ll do and the videos he’ll make — probably turn this personal project into a big commercial deal.

Religion Religion briefs Archbishop deposition on abuse made public

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt (NYN'-steht) said in a recent sworn deposition that he hasn't reprimanded or disciplined anyone for the way church officials handled allegations of clergy sexual abuse, and he doesn't think he should have.

That's according to a recording of the deposition that was made public Tuesday.

During the interview, the head of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis said he does not believe any priests or church leaders mishandled allegations of abuse. He also said his staff told him there was nobody in ministry who had credible accusations of child abuse made against them, and that he believed another church official was responsible for notifying parish officials about problem priests.

Attorneys for victims of alleged sexual abuse by priests said the deposition, recorded April 2, shows an ongoing practice of denial and deflecting responsibility.

The archdiocese says Nienstedt answered every question and continually reiterated that child safety is the highest priority.

Car hits packed Florida church, injuring 21

F O RT M Y E R S , F l a . ( A P ) — Police in Fort Myers, Fla., say a car slammed into a packed church just as its Easter concert

But school district lawyer David Rubin says the district is merely following a state law that requires schools to have a daily recitation of the pledge. He says individual students do not have to participate.

The humanist group is awaiting a ruling from a court on a similar case in Massachusetts.

Fort Myers Police Lt. Victor Medico says the Lexus sedan struck the Second Haitian Baptist Church at around 8 p . m . S u n d a y, w h e n t h e r e were about 200 people inside.

The News-Press reports that church members used car jacks to lift the vehicle off of people who were trapped underneath.

Mary Briggs of Lee Memorial Health System said 18 people were taken to hospitals, but none required surgery.

New Jersey school sued over "under God" in pledge

Tennessee high court to hear faith-healing case

FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) — A family is suing a New Jersey school district, contending that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance discriminates against atheist children.

The lawsuit against the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District was filed in state court last month and was announced Monday by the American Humanist Association.

The group says the phrase, added in 1954, "marginalizes atheist and humanist kids as something less than ideal patriots."

The anonymous plaintiffs say the two words "under God" violate the New Jersey constitution.

N A S H V I L L E , Te n n . ( A P ) — The Tennessee Supreme Court h a s a g re e d t o h e a r a n a p p e a l by a woman who tried to heal her teenage daughter's cancer through prayer.

Jacqueline Crank was convicted of misdemeanor child neglect in 2012 and was given a sentence of just under a year, suspended to unsupervised probation.

The conviction came 10 years after the death of her then-15year-old daughter from Ewing's S a rc o m a . A c c o rd i n g t o c o u r t re c o rd s , t h e c a n c e r c a u s e d a grapefruit-sized tumor on the girl's shoulder that appeared to give her severe pain.

Crank has argued in court that a Tennessee law protecting some faith healers but not others is unconstitutional.

The law says that a child's faith healing must be performed "in accordance with the tenets or practices of a recognized church or religious denomination" and "by a duly accredited p rac titio ne r" o f that re ligio us group.

Vatican investigators cite two popes' saintly qualities

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The priests who investigated the lives of Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII say they found abundant evidence for the pontiffs' canonization as saints in a Vatican ceremony this coming Sunday.

M o n s i g n o r S l a w o m i r O d e r, the postulator for John Paul's sainthood case, told reporters Tuesday that when the future

pontiff was a university student in Poland, his fellow students recognized his devotion to God, re f e r r i n g t o h i m a s a " f u t u re saint."

Oder said John Paul believed that a true Christian's life should be "an expression of God's glory."

The sainthood postulator for Pope John XXIII, Father Giovangiuseppe Califano, said the pope who convened the S e c o n d Va t i c a n C o u n c i l m o re than 50 years ago described his life as one of "obedience and peace."

Movies

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Under the Skin"

To say that a movie feels like a dream is not automatically a positive statement. It all depends on the dream.

Some dreams, for example, make sense, at least partly, and others are just baffling. Some are compelling, others tedious.

Some move quickly, and others feel like they’re never going to end.

Alas, Jonathan Glazer’s “Under the Skin” begins with a lot of the positive attributes mentioned above, but seems to settle into the negative ones as time goes on. It may feel like a dream, but it eventually feels like one you’re sorta ready to wake up from.

However — and this is a significant “however” — the film stars Scarlett Johansson. And who among us would not seek to welcome Ms. Johansson into our dreams, or share hers?

Johansson’s performance isn’t simply the best thing about the movie, it’s the movie’s raison d’etre. And this charismatic actress, who’s worth watching no matter what she does, delivers a thoughtful, sometimes even mesmerizing turn as, yes, an alien preying on human males in Glasgow, Scotland.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for graphic nudity, sexual content, some violence and language.”

Running time: 107 minutes.

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

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier"

For the latest Marvel release, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” most fan boys might prefer a Consumer Reports-style product review.

New character introductions: Smooth. Action sequences: Excellent if sometimes lacking finesse. Viewer satisfaction: Likely high. Box-office prospects: Bankable. Teasers for future Marvel installments: Yes, two.

With slick design and plushy interiors, “The Winter Soldier” is an excellent product. But is it a good movie? Are the two indistinguishable at this point?

Like the recent “Thor: The Dark World,” “Winter Soldier” is a sequel to a pre-“Avengers” franchise starter. The earlier “Captain America: First Avenger” was a mostly clever period film, set in the ‘40s and awash with a charming WWII thriller nostalgia.

“Winter Soldier” brings Steve Rogers — the weakling recruit made a brawny Greatest Generation icon, played by Chris Evans — up to present day for a Washington D.C. conspiracy thriller. Fittingly, Marvel has attracted the default hero of such films, Robert Redford. He’s a major get for the franchise, especially since (unlike in last year’s “All is Lost”) he’s actually talking now.

While Rogers runs laps around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and jots notes on the pop culture he missed while frozen for 70 years, there’s trouble brewing at S.H.I.E.L.D. Its head, Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson), believes something is amiss with the agency’s latest project: a trio of “helicarriers” that can kill evildoers from the sky even before the evil is done.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of violence, gunplay and action throughout.”

Running time: 136 minutes.

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

"The Railway Man"

There are, of course, different ways to make war movies.

Some are sweeping, some more intimate. Some are visceral and

14

On the Edge of the Weekend

raw, and some take a more understated approach.

There are moments that “The Railway Man,” starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman and directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, feels like a period TV drama — slow, subtle, a bit distant — but that doesn’t detract from the ultimate power of its story, which is both remarkable and true. It also doesn’t detract from Firth’s nuanced and ultimately quite moving performance, as well as an admirable turn by the talented Jeremy Irvine as a younger version of the same man. (Kidman, on the other hand, feels somewhat wasted in an underwritten part.)

“The Railway Man” is based on the autobiography of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who was brutally tortured at a Japanese POW camp during World War II. Lomax somehow survived — unlike many fellow soldiers — but came home broken and haunted, particularly by his ordeal at the hands of one sadistic Japanese interpreter. In his book, Lomax, who died in 2012 at age 93 (during editing of this film), chronicles what happened when he was able to confront the interpreter in person, many years after the war’s end.

Without giving away too much, the final resolution is both stunning and cathartic, and the movie conveys its full emotional resonance — even if it takes a long while to reach that level of intensity.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America “for disturbing prisoner of war violence.”

RUNNING TIME: 108 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Rio 2"

A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2” is chockfull of colorful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas.

The sequel opens with a vibrant New Year ’s Eve bash, as partying in the music-filled streets of Rio de Janeiro is punctuated by fireworks bursting above the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits from numbers by artists like Bruno Mars (who also voices the smooth bird Roberto in the film), Janelle Monae and celebrated Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown.

After mating in Brazil in 2011’s “Rio,” rare macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) now have three lively kids who have become accustomed to the same domestication Blu was brought up on in Minnesota. They’re attached to gadgets like iPods and eat pancakes for breakfast, which irks the raised-in-the-wild Jewel.

But the family heads off to the Amazon rainforest, to Jewel’s delight and Blu’s strife, when they get wind that a tribe of blue macaws may live there and are being pursued by Blu’s past owner and animal lover, Linda (voiced by Leslie Mann), and her husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro).

With a few of the quirky supporting characters from the first film in tow — including birds voiced by George Lopez (as frisky toucan Rafael) and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am (as rapping canary-and-cardinal duo Nico and Pedro) — they soar through a dazzling journey to the rainforest, making the oftenwasted 3-D effect worth it as we take in the broad scope and graphically layered flair.

"Heaven Is for Real"

Continuing the recent trend of faith-based films, including “Noah” and “Son of God,” “Heaven Is for Real” is a sweet tale based on a 4-year-old boy’s account of his

May 1, 2014

trip to heaven that’s likely to please the devout, but won’t entice religious cynics.

There’s little doubt the T.D. Jakes-produced adaptation of Todd Burpo’s Christian non-fiction best-seller will have a built-in audience, especially on Easter weekend.

After undergoing harrowing surgery for a ruptured appendix, young Colton Burpo (Connor Corum) begins recalling his journey for his family: Angels carried him to heaven where he met Jesus (played by Mike Mohrhardt, whose face we never quite see), as well as God, Colton’s great-grandfather and the miscarried sister he never knew he had.

Such talk frightens his older sister (Lane Styles) and worries his pastor father, Todd (Greg Kinnear), and mother, Sonja (Kelly Reilly).

As Colton becomes more verbal about his supposed encounter, the local paper in the small Nebraska town starts reporting the story. This leads some members of Todd’s congregation (Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale) to turn against the Burpo family.

Though Todd sticks up for his son, his faith is also tested. “We ask these kids to believe this stuff,” he says to his wife, “but I don’t even know if I believe it myself.”

But Todd is captivated, as we are, by his son’s innocence — especially when Colton tells him things he couldn’t possibly know, such as how he saw his parents cope, each in their own way, during his near-fatal surgery.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “thematic material including some medical situations.”

RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Transcendence"

First, we had Scarlett Johansson as a human-like operating system. Now, Johnny Depp has been uploaded.

If the singularity — when artificial intelligence surpasses human smarts — is indeed coming, at least it has decent taste in movie star avatars.

First-time director Wally Pfister ’s “Transcendence” isn’t so much the “Him” to Spike Jonze’s “Her” as it’s a more dystopian vision of the meeting of human consciousness an d computer intelligence. It tur n s out that wh en computers get sophisticated, worse things can happen than Joaquin Phoenix getting his feelings hurt.

But whereas “Her” was playful and personal about familiar futuristic concepts, “Transcendence” is clunky and lifeless. It’s like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk.

In the early scenes of “Transcendence,” Dr. Will Caster (a disappointingly sleepy Depp) is a TED-style master of the universe, speaking confidently in front of large video screens to eager listeners about neurology and artificial intelligence. But there are also protesters to his potentially all-powerful invention: the Physically Independent Neural Network (PINN), an early artificial intelligence propelled by a room full of computers that Caster believes could, among other things, cure cancer.

An assassination attempt with a radiation-laced bullet leaves Caster with weeks to live. Desperate to keep his mind alive, his loyal, sycophantic wife and fellow researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) uploads Caster ’s brain to a PC with PINN hardware. Helping her is their good friend and colleague Max (Paul Bettany, serving as narrator).

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sci-fi action and violence, some bloody images, brief strong language and sensuality.”

"Transcendence" a clunky TED talk

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press HAL has come a long way.

First, we had Scarlett Johansson as a human-like operating system. Now, Johnny Depp has been uploaded. If the singularity — when artificial intelligence surpasses human smarts — is indeed coming, at least it has decent taste in movie star avatars.

F i r s t - t i m e d i re c t o r Wa l l y P f i s t e r ’ s “Transcendence” isn’t so much the “Him” to Spike Jonze’s “Her” as it’s a more dystopian vision of the meeting of human consciousness and computer intelligence. It turns out that when computers get sophisticated, worse things can happen than Joaquin Phoenix getting his feelings hurt.

But whereas “Her” was playful and

personal about familiar futuristic concepts, “Transcendence” is clunky and lifeless. It’s like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk.

In the early scenes of “Transcendence,” Dr. Will Caster (a disappointingly sleepy Depp) is a TED-style master of the universe, speaking confidently in front of large video screens to eager listeners about neurology and artificial intelligence. But there are also protesters to his potentially all-powerful invention: the Physically Independent Neural Network (PINN), an early artificial intelligence propelled by a room full of computers that Caster believes could, among other things, cure cancer.

An assassination attempt with a radiationlaced bullet leaves Caster with weeks to live. Desperate to keep his mind alive, his

loyal, sycophantic wife and fellow researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) uploads Caster’s brain to a PC with PINN hardware. Helping her is their good friend and colleague Max (Paul Bettany, serving as narrator).

But as anyone with an iPhone knows, software updates can be tragic. The transfer is finished just as Caster dies.

Soon enough, the screen flickers to life, first with a few typed words and then seemingly Caster’s full personality, in voice and pixel form.

Alert to their plan, anti-tech activists (led by Kate Mara) are simultaneously descending.

In the chaos, Max begins to realize they’ve created a high-speed Frankenstein — an epiphany lost on the mourning Evelyn, who flees after uploading Caster to the Internet.

He immediately spreads across the Web

(he calls Evelyn on her phone) and begins seeking more computing power.

It takes a long time for “Transcendence” to build to this moment, when perhaps it should have begun here in the first place. But it feels like a suddenly intriguing crossroads. Where will this terrifyingly digital Depp go?

If you answered: to a desert town to build an underground data center for development of radical tissue regeneration techniques, guarded by a creepy army of networkconnected, superhuman zombies — then your algorithms are more advanced than mine.

Yet the urgency and intelligence of “Transcendence” isn’t artificial. It feels sincerely animated by the frightful questions it poses about computing power and interconnectedness.

"Bears" best attribute is the scenery

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Four films opened at the Box Office this weekend and none were able to knock Captain America off his perch at the top. Johnny Depp's techno-garbage thriller, "Transcendence," was dead on arrival. Personally, I feel it was poorly marketed. People won't go to movies if they don't know they exist.

Then there was "A Haunted House 2" from Marlon Wayans. Dumber than the first by leaps and bound, it brings the concept of comedy sequels right into the crosshairs. Weak attendance strengthens my faith in America.

The surprise hit was second place finisher "Heaven is for Real," a family-appropriate tale of a father coming to grips with his young son's near-death experience that leaves

him with significant memories of the afterlife and what lies beyond. Greg Kinnear stars in Heaven, a film based on allegedly true events. The fourth film was Bears, the latest Earth Day release from Disneynature.

When the Disneynature franchise started in 2009 it seemed like a great opportunity for important, documentary-style films about our ever-changing ecosystems, animal species, and planet to be put before the masses. Schools have been particularly interested in these films each April because of their candidacy for field trips during that last slog toward the end of the year when an educational odyssey breaks up the monotony of no more days off.

Seeing the progression myself, I've found that the films have become less about educational experiences and more about branding. "Bears"

proves this theory as it is nothing more than a borderline comedy about the true-to-life events facing a family of grizzlies in Alaska.

I don't necessarily object to the fact that the animals are given names.

This is a good way to keep the kids interested. You have to be able to tell your characters apart. But the narration in the film, by the very able John C. Reilly, really punches up the fact that the material can't stand alone (in terms of content) for most crowds. The auditorium in which I saw the show had about a 50/50 split of children and their parents. Reilly's clearly scripted whimsy washes out the fact that we are witnessing a year in the life of one of the greatest carnivores on the planet in one of the most beautiful settings on Earth.

To capture the majesty of the grizzly and the beauty of Alaska's peninsula

simultaneously is pretty important.

Don't ham it up.

In this case, we're trailing Sky, a medium-size mama bear and her two cubs, Scout and Amber. At birth, the baby grizzlies are gray in color and equally horrifying as any scary movie monster. As soon as Spring arrives and they leave their den, Sky's mission is to find food. In fact, according to this movie, half of all bear cubs die in their first year. So they must eat. They trek from atop their mountain hideaway toward the shore where they seek fish, but find usually old clams and dirty grass salads. The delicious salmon that make up the great majority of these bears' diets don't come around until Summer spawning season. Then it's time to gorge so that they have enough body fat to make it through another hibernation season. In Sky's

May 1, 2014

case, she has to dodge a white wolf (named Takitna, or something like that) and two warring alpha bears, Magnus and Chinook, an exile, for every bite.

The cubs are largely clueless and little teaching by their mother is evident. Grizzly cubs spend their first three full years being fully cared for by their mothers. The movie is split between fantastic footage (a firsthand encounter with an avalanche) and silliness (the cubs are easily sidetracked by everything).

This isn't a great documentary. I suggest you go for the scenery. The 2015 Disneynature release is called Monkey Kingdom.

"Bears" runs 78 minutes and is rated G, being suitable for audiences of all ages. I give this film two stars out of four.

Travel Saint Louis Zoo favorite open for the season For The Edge

H

ey, mon, the ocean is coming to the mid coast! Stingrays at Caribbean Cove presented by Mercy Kids opened at the Saint Louis Zoo on April 18 and runs through September 28, 2014.

Cownose rays and southern stingrays, horseshoe crabs, bonnethead, brown-banded and white-spotted bamboo sharks glide through a 17,000-gallon warm saltwater pool located under the Edward Jones Pavilion.

Guests are encouraged to dip their hands into the water and allow the animals to touch them.

Occasionally, there will be an opportunity to feed the stingrays.

These are hardy species that interact well with people in a safe and fun manner.

“Mercy Kids is excited to be part of this interactive exhibit designed for kids of all ages,” said Dr. John Mantovani, Chair of Pediatrics and Medical Director

Cownose rays and southern stingrays are related to sharks.

Stingrays have flat bodies, long pointed fins and long whip-like tails that can be used for defense against predators. At Stingrays at Caribbean Cove, their stingers or barbs are painlessly clipped back just as human fingernails are clipped. Staff at the exhibit will monitor the stingrays throughout the season to ensure that the barbs stay neatly trimmed.

Along for the swim are horseshoe crabs, which are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than to true crabs.

The horseshoe crab is a living fossil. It has been on the earth for 220 million years, longer than dinosaurs, and it survives today almost identical to its ancient ancestors.

The 20-inch deep pool includes a waterfall and a state-of-the-art life support system. The pool also has solitary space and places for the animals to rest if they choose.

Zoo interpreters and educators will be on hand to help visitors and to share information about

Family Level and above may use their Anywhere Plus passes for admission. Children under age 2 are free. Purchase a one-day Safari Pass for $12 and receive free admission to Stingrays at Caribbean Cove and other attractions. Admission is free the first hour the Zoo is open.

Stingray feedings are $1.00 per cup.

Groups of 15 or more may call (314) 646-4718 in advance for group discounts.

Hours Stingrays at Caribbean Cove will be open April 18 through September 28, 2014, during Zoo hours. The Zoo’s spring hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through May 22.

Beginning May 23 through

September 1, 2014, the Zoo is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday for Prairie Farms Summer Zoo Weekends. The Zoo will close at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 20, because of A Zoo Ado, the Zoo’s biennial fundraiser.

The Zoo will be open until 7 p.m. on Memorial Day, May 26; Independence Day Weekend, July 3-6; and Labor Day, Sept. 1.

Starting September 2, the Zoo’s hours return to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

of Mercy Children’s Hospital, a program of Mercy Kids. “Each spring families anticipate the opening of Stingrays at the Zoo, and we are proud to partner with others who bring education and fun to children in our community.”

The bonnethead shark is the smallest member of the hammerhead family. They have semi-circular heads resembling a shovel or bonnet. Bamboo sharks are sometimes called “cat sharks” because the barbels, or sensory organs, near their mouths resemble cat whiskers.

The sharks at Stingrays at Caribbean Cove are small, shy and docile fish and pose no danger to humans. They range from two-and-a-half to four feet in length and are bottom-dwelling species that prey on small fish, crabs and invertebrates. Visitors will not be feeding the sharks, but they will be able to touch the sharks as they swim by.

HATE YOUR Imagine ...

• No more mask • No more hose • No surgery

• No more noise • No replacement parts • No air pressure

• No more embarrassment • Kiss your spouse • Nothing on your face

Sleep apnea affects almost every family in America. Most people with this condition are instructed to use a mask and hose (CPAP therapy) to force air down the nose and throat. The majority of people told to use a CPAP do not like it and about half stop using the device within a week. Most people are not aware that there is another answer! Oral appliance therapy is a very successful treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is a comfortable and discreet way to achieve rejuvenating sleep, gain energy during the day and travel comfortably. Today’s oral appliances are over 90% successful and have been recommended by the America Academy of Sleep Medicine since 2006.

“I used a CPAP for about 10 years. It was restrictive and cumbersome and would keep me awake at times during the night. I learned about the oral sleep appliance at a local seminar. My appliance is very natural to wear, helps me sleep better and I no longer snore. I felt better the first night I used it. My appliance is well worth the cost, especially considering my health and well-being are at stake. I’ve found the staff at Dentistry Wtih TLC to be professional and Dr. Smith is very personable.

Her expertise in dental care is evident in the care she takes with her patients.”

“My chiropractor recommended I talk with Dr. Smith about using a sleep appliance to treat my sleep apnea. I’m so glad I did because now I am sleeping well, I’m no longer tired and my headaches are gone.

I feel so much better and I can think more clearly. If you are thinking about getting a sleep appliance, do it! Dentistry With TLC is great. I love that they have great technology, like the take-home sleep study.”

“I tried to use a CPAP but couldn’t get used to it because it was too binding and made me claustrophobic. I got used to my oral appliance in just one night! It’s very easy to put on, I can move around in bed and sleep in any position I want. I no longer snore! This helps me and my husband sleep better. The staff at Dentistry With TLC are so friendly that I have them do all my dental work too.”

• Sleep in any position • Travel with ease again

Dr. Anna Smith has over 95% success with oral appliance therapy.

She provides more Somnomed oral sleep appliances than any dentist in the United States. She began treating people with sleep apnea about six years ago when her husband was diagnosed. He couldn’t tolerate the CPAP and didn’t want to have painful surgery. Dr. Smith made him an oral appliance and they have both been sleeping better ever since. Dr. Smith has been interviewed on Channel 4’s “Great Day St. Louis,” Channel 5’s “Show Me St. Louis” and “The Wellness Hour,” a national health talk-show. Learn more at http://www.dentistrywithtlc.com/.

Dr. Smith

“Don’t wait. Get this oral appliance as soon as you can. I used to use a CPAP and I disliked everything about it. Since I’ve been using my appliance I sleep better at night and have more energy during the day.

I no longer use my CPAP and don’t have to deal with the noise of my CPAP when I sleep, I don’t wake up during the night and my wife sleeps better too. I’m glad I learned about Dr. Smith on the radio and drove to Godfrey. Everything at Dentistry With TLC has been great.”
