Creating a Stur in Edwardsville New restaurant features American cuisine with fresh ingredients

By MATT KAMP Of The Edge

A

ngie Schmitt may be new to the food business, but she made a veteran decision when opening Stur Restaurant and Lounge.

Schmitt, who previously worked 20 years in the car business, brought in world-renowned chef Brian Duffy and mixologist Bran Van Flandern to teach the staff.

Van Flandern helped out for a couple of days, while Duffy was in town for a week.

“What separates me is that I am able to bring in experienced people, like Brian Duffy and Brian Van Flandern, to help our staff,” Schmitt said. “A lot of people don’t really train your staff and invest in who you have under your name.”

Stur specializes in American cuisine with fresh ingredients and cocktails. According to its website, it is a “sophisticated dining experience that’s both worldly and local.”

It is located at 4 Centre Ct in Edwardsville. It is the former location of the Tropical Escape Tiki Bar and Grill and Neruda.

Dinner service started on June 6, and lunch service was added June 11. The hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday.

Schmitt believes Stur will be unique to Edwardsville and the surrounding communities.

“I just want to do something different,” Schmitt said. “I am very interested in food and cocktails and going somewhere with friends and family. What we bring here is not anything that Edwardsville or any other town around here have.”

Duffy, who has opened over 70 restaurants in the last four years, including nine in the last 10 weeks, was excited about the opportunity to work with the staff.

“Angie contacted me about six or eight months ago, saying she had a property and that she was interested in having me come in and do some training with the staff, work with her and the managers on procedures and regulations,” Duffy said. “It was pretty much a no-brainer.”

Chef Lee Conway leads the Stur kitchen staff. The menu he has put together, along with Schmitt and Duffy, offers a variety of options.

Appetizers include: maple pulled pork shoulder, baked heartland goat cheese tart, beef carpaccio, hummus plate, Vietnamese lemon grass chicken wings and artisan cheeses and charcuterie.

Entrees include: brown butter trout, orecchlette pasta, New York strip steak, Tuscan roasted chicken and honey soy roasted salmon.

Sandwiches and salads are also offered, along with seven different sides and desserts.

Duffy raved about the menu, especially the brown butter trout.

“We added in a couple of dishes,” he said. “We did a brown butter trout that is out of this world with Marcona almonds.

We did bacon and bourbon and cooked it together, because we

Chef Brian Duffy, center, is surrounded by the Stur Restaurant and Lounge staff at the bar. Duffy, a world-renowned chef, helped train the staff for a week. wanted to incorporate some of the alcohol and spirits back into the food.”

None of the food items are frozen or pre-packaged.

“Everything is fresh,” Schmitt said. “Our cucumber juice we use at the mixology bar, we fresh squeeze. Our lime juice, we fresh squeeze. Our lemon juice, we fresh squeeze.”

The menu is seasonal. To stay up to date with the latest additions and changes, visit www.sturrestaurant.com/menu.

Regardless of what’s on the menu, Duffy believes it will be exceptional because of Conway.

“Chef Conway is awesome.

He makes great food,” Duffy said. “The guy has set Angie up with a menu that is going to be successful.”

As for the cocktails, Van Flandern has created an exclusive menu for Stur.

Among the list of accolades and honors received by Van Flandern, a three-star mixologist, he was named one of the top 10 global brand ambassadors by the Tales of the Cocktail.

“He is one of the world’s premier mixologists. He is just unbelievable. His knowledge is unmatched,” Duffy said. “He came, did the cocktail list and trained the bartenders for three days about the proper ways and techniques.

“A lot of people think being a

bartender is just opening some bottles and pouring some beers, but it has become such a craft.”

There are currently nine different cocktails on the menu, including the signature, Creating a Stur, and a Jesse Julep.

It’s a menu and cocktail list that’s built for enjoyment whenever, and not just for a celebration.

“This is not a fine-dining restaurant. This is an everybody place. It isn’t just a place to go to for a special occasion. It is priced accordingly,” Duffy said. “This is a fun place that serves handcrafted cocktails and the menu is going to be changed seasonally.”

Meanwhile, the staff consists of a large group of Schmitt’s son’s friends, whom are in college.

“Angie has seen these guys grow up,” Duffy said. “The coolest part about is that they will not fail her. There is a respect level that is there, because Angie has been there for most of their lives.”

Surrounding herself with the right people on a daily basis was important to Schmitt.

To make Stur successful, it is going to take a team and not just one individual.

“It’s all about teamwork and building a team,” Schmitt said.

“Without a team, it doesn’t matter about your cocktails or food. If your team doesn’t work

together, you have nothing.”

Duffy was leading by example while training the staff. He was picking up trash and cleaning, or anything else that was needed before the restaurant opened.

Before the dinner service started on June 6, the staff was working feverishly to clean the tiles that Schmitt and her son had installed.

“This is attention to detail that I don’t normally see,” Duffy said, pointing to a handful of servers scraping the floors.

“Angie has really put things meticulously into place. We have five frat boys that have learned how to serve and are walking around scraping things off the floor. They always say that most servers backs are broken, because they can’t bend over and pick things up. These guys are all over the place.”

The work ethic, menu and cocktails are what Duffy and Schmitt believe can separate Stur from all the other restaurants — there are currently 39 restaurants in Edwardsville and six in Glen Carbon that serve food and alcohol.

With plenty of other food options, Duffy said it is important the staff goes above and beyond daily.

“There are restaurants everywhere. You have competition unlike any you ever had before. You really have to go

June 26, 2014

above and beyond,” Duffy said.

“I have talked to the staff about exceeding expectations. You have expectations about a place when you walk into a place of what it’s going to be. It’s our job to go beyond that.”

Seeing Stur about ready to open was a milestone for Schmitt, who put in her “heart, sweat and tears” into the project.

From the first day to now, it was a team effort all around.

“It was very tough getting into the business, because banks don’t support restaurants unless you are franchised. New ideas are tough,” Schmitt said. “I was lucky to have someone to inspire me to get into the business that was friends with chef Conway, who I have in the back that chef Duffy has worked with. It’s about having the connections with the right people and building the right team.”

Now, Schmitt is ready for the public to find out what Stur is all about.

“Stur can mean a lot of things.

We are always stirring in the kitchen, stirring our drinks,” Schmitt said. “When you break it all down, everything is sexy, tantalizing, unique and we are a restaurant. From our drinks to our food to how we handle our customers, it is all sexy, tantalizing and unique.”

Julia Biggs/The Edge

Claire Thomas-Morgan holds her daughter Lyra in front of a line of children's clothing. Thomas-Morgan, a 2003 Edwardsville High School graduate, recently launched her own children's clothing line, Vivi, in St. Louis.

Local designer launches clothing line

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge One of Edwardsville’s own, Edwardsville High School 2003 Alum Claire ThomasMorgan, launched a children’s line of clothing, Vivi, in St. Louis in March. Designed by Thomas-Morgan and produced completely in St. Louis, the collection features toddler dresses in a bright mix of patterns and colors.

Thomas-Morgan’s path to becoming a children’s wear designer took a couple of interesting turns after graduating from EHS. She explained that she attended Bradley University for two years pursuing a graphic design degree. “About the middle of my sophomore year I was like, uh, I don’t know if this is what I want to do,” she recalled.

Having been a teenager that was “into fashion” and one that she said “dressed a little bit more unusually” during her high school years, Thomas-Morgan was drawn to the popular reality television show, Project Runway. The show features budding designers who compete to create garments within a short time period by completing challenges. “And I was like, that looks like a lot of fun,” Thomas-Morgan said. “I was coming up with ideas for the challenges and so that kind of piqued my interest a little more.”

She looked into the programs offered by New York City’s Parson’s School for Design, the site where Project Runway is filmed, and that summer she enrolled in one of its summer fashion courses to learn about fashion design and illustration. “I did it just to get sort of an introduction to see if was something I really liked before I made a big switch,” Thomas-Morgan said about taking the course. “And then I had a health issue and I had to take a year off anyway so I just started filling my portfolio and reapplying to schools.”

During that time, she decided to transfer to Washington University’s fashion design

program. “I’m kind of a homebody and I’m not really a New York person. I didn’t think I’d be happy living there,” ThomasMorgan explained about her decision.

“Plus I like a more general education too.

So I transferred right into the program at Wash U.” She graduated from Washington University with a BFA (bachelors of fine art) and did an internship with an online boutique for modest women’s clothing based in University City called Funky Frum. “The owner was interested in starting a knit-wear portion so I kind of came on and she ended up hiring me on after I graduated to help build a small knitwear line,” Thomas-Morgan said.

She credited the internship with providing her with invaluable experiences in the industry. “I learned all about buying and going to market and sort of running an online business so it was really, really an educational experience,” Thomas-Morgan said. “I learned a bit about production and starting from scratch through that internship too. And just working in a small business which I really prefer.”

After the internship, Thomas-Morgan spent a few years doing visuals for J. Crew and obtained her master ’s in merchandising from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. She’s taught as an adjunct faculty for Washington University in its illustration and technical design courses which she said was “nice to stay part of that program and be on the end of helping kids realize their goals.”

Almost two years ago, Thomas-Morgan and her husband Jeremiah added to their family with the birth of their daughter Lyra. Although Thomas-Morgan had never really made children's clothing before, she began making clothes for Lyra for special occasions. Friends and family began making positive comments about the clothes she had made, and they encouraged

June 26, 2014

her to make more and sell them.

But it was going back to teaching at Washington University part-time when Lyra was six months old that really re-sparked her interest in designing and launching her own line. “I originally kind of looked at doing a women’s-wear line but it was going to need to be a much larger operation and a much bigger financial investment than I could make,” ThomasMorgan noted.

It was at that moment she decided to design children’s clothes and Vivi was born. She said she named her line, Vivi, after her grandmother, Vivian Hillen, who would take her to tea and shopping for her birthdays. “My mom taught me more (about sewing) but she (Vivian) was definitely more of an influence in terms of fashion,” Thomas-Morgan said affectionately. “Even when she was in her 90s and in a nursing home at Meridian, she still wanted to get her hair done every week.”

Vivi features children’s dresses in sizes 12 months to 4T that are priced from $40 to $45. Thomas-Morgan’s first Vivi summer collection is actually silhouettes that she had designed originally for Lyra. “So I kind of started with what I already knew and worked on making the different sizes and finding fun fabrics,” Thomas-Morgan said. “We’re kind of moving a little bit more into fun prints and print mixing .

So we kind of keep the silhouettes a little more basic, but still be fun and girly and then bring in fun prints that only kids can wear.”

Making clothes that people will want to save and pass down is part of her mission and quality is paramount. “We do really small runs. I only make two or three of each size. I make it all right here in house when Lyra is napping or sleeping,” Thomas-Morgan pointed out.

But Lyra is right in the middle of her

mother’s business venture serving as one of the company’s two models. “I start with like a muslin and fit it on her, and then I make a larger one and send it down to my niece - she’s three - just kind of to make sure the pattern has been sized correctly and it works,” Thomas-Morgan said. “She loves to model. My sister-in-law sends me pictures so I get some feedback from her.”

Thomas-Morgan is dedicated to keeping production of her line within the U.S. “I get my fabric from New York so I try to keep everything in the states,” she emphasized. “So even if I do grow, I want to keep production at least within the U.S. - especially for the next generation to teach them more about hand-made and quality and that sort of thing. I’ve even looked at some production facilities in Brooklyn – but that’s still not ideal. I’d like to keep everything in St. Louis as much as I can.”

She’s already working on her second collection, for fall, but Thomas-Morgan hopes to continue to “grow small” in the future. “I’d like to start adding in some accessories like maybe some hair bows or bags,” she said. “And then hopefully I’d love to add in some boys (clothing) at some point and maybe start expanding sizes. But just kind of start small and grow small.”

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 great-grandparent 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.

Movies

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"The Fault in Our Stars"

Let's start with the obvious. For its core audience, "The Fault in Our Stars" is essentially critic-proof. If you're a fan of the wildly popular young-adult book by John Green, and have already shed tears at its story of teenage cancer patients learning about life, love and sex as they fight to stay alive, then you'll be a fan of this movie.

Slam dunk. Go buy your ticket.

But of course, you probably already have.

The situation becomes more nuanced, though, for those who haven't read the book. Both author and fans have pronounced the movie, directed by Josh Boone, extremely faithful to the novel, but does that make for the optimal cinematic experience? Many films have failed, after all, for adhering too strictly to the written page.

Happily, we can report that "The Fault in Our Stars" is, despite the occasional misstep in tone, largely a solid success — a film that not only manages the transition from page to screen nicely, but also navigates with skill that hugely tricky line between the touching and the trite, the moving and the maudlin.

And that latter task ain't easy. But there's one major reason that the movie succeeds in this regard. Her name is Shailene Woodley.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME: 125 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Edge of Tomorrow"

The time-shifting sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow" has perfectly encapsulated what it is to be a summertime moviegoer. We're dropped into a battlefield of digital effects with the fate of the world at stake. Torrents of gunfire and explosions surround. Some alien clonks us over the head.

We black out and it all happens again. And again.

"Edge of Tomorrow," in which Tom Cruise plays an officer who continually relives a day of combat against extraterrestrials, probably isn't a commentary on the repetitiveness of today's blockbusters. Its star, after all, has been the unchanging, unstoppable avatar of big summer movies.

But in the film directed by Doug Liman ("Swingers," ''The Bourne Identity"), the action-star persona of Cruise is put into a phantasmagorical blender. As military marketer Maj. William Cage, he's thrown into battle against his will by an unsympathetic general (the excellent Brendan Gleeson), and then finds himself stuck in a mysterious time loop.

Cruise dies dozens of times over and over, often in comical ways. Does this sound like a great movie, or what?

The selling point of "Edge of Tomorrow" may indeed be seeing one of Hollywood's most divisive icons reduced to Wile E. Coyote. He's like a real-life version of the video game "Contra," with the code of seemingly endless life. Dying again and again, Cruise has rarely been so likable.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material."

RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"22 Jump Street"

Things are always worse the second time around, the deputy police chief warns the buddy-cop team of Jenko and Schmidt in "22 Jump Street."

10

On the Edge of the Weekend

He's talking about their next assignment, but of course, it's an inside joke — with the audience. "22 Jump Street," starring the inspired comic duo of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, is a sequel, and movie sequels are indeed often worse (especially when, as the chief also points out, the budget's bigger the second time around.)

Self-referential jokes aside, things aren't worse the second time around for Hill, Tatum and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. It's fine to make fun of sequels — and this movie does, all the way to a fabulous ending-credits bit that steals the film — when you know you've made a pretty darned good one yourself.

Not that this film is perfect — some jokes go too far, or too long, or both, and one running gag involving prison sex is gratuitous, ill-advised, unfunny, and, well, we'd say more but three adjectives are enough. Many more jokes, though — spoken and visual — succeed beautifully.

And the cast? It's a pretty heavenly group, anchored of course by Hill and Tatum, who have a Laurel-and-Hardy-like implausible chemistry that keeps you laughing pretty much no matter what they're doing.

"How to Train Your Dragon 2"

You thought it was tricky to train a dragon?

It's even trickier to take a much-admired animated film and make a sequel that feels satisfying and worthwhile. And it's harder still to balance the competing needs of stretching the story in new directions but retaining the guiding spirit of the original enough to make fans happy.

It's nice to be able to report that "How to Train Your Dragon 2," written and directed by Dean DeBlois, does all that tricky stuff pretty darned well.

And you'll be happily surprised at the new twists it takes — sort of like getting an unexpected second candy bar in the vending machine. "How to Train Your Dragon 2" doesn't play it safe, and that's why it's the rare sequel that doesn't feel somewhat stale.

The story returns us to Berk, where our young Viking hero, Hiccup (again voiced by Jay Baruchel), lives and frolics with his devoted dragon, Toothless, whom he befriended in the first movie, with momentous ramifications for human-dragon relations. Five years have passed, and now Berk is a virtual playground for dragons and Vikings alike.

Hiccup's restless nature, though, is at odds with the aspirations of his burly father, Stoick the Vast (a sweetly gruff Gerard Butler), who wants Hiccup to take up new responsibilities. But Hiccup doesn't feel leadership is really his thing. That's what he tells spunky Astrid (America Ferrera, back from the first film), who is now his girlfriend, as well as a fellow explorer. (Other famous returning voices are Jonah Hill as Snotlout and Kristen Wiig as Ruffnut.)

"Jersey Boys"

You don't have to be middle-aged, or even an adult, to know songs like "Sherry," ''Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Walk Like a Man." Sure, they're '60s-era hits by The Four Seasons, but they've become such pop culture fixtures that even youngsters who've never heard the name Frankie Valli could surely croon a few bars in his signature falsetto.

It's little wonder that the stage musical "Jersey Boys" has become one of the most successful shows in Broadway history on the strength of those sublimely catchy tunes. And it's also little wonder that the prospect of bringing the show to the screen appealed to Clint Eastwood, who at 84 is still, blessedly, up for challenges.

What's rather curious, though, is that with all the talent involved — not only Eastwood as director, but an excellent cast plucked from "Jersey Boys" stage regulars — the film is distinctly uneven, hugely appealing at times and oddly pedestrian, even cheesy, at others.

One problem may be that "Jersey Boys" tries to do a few things at once. On one level, it's a fairly faithful re-creation of the Broadway show; the same writers, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, penned the screenplay, and the excellent John Lloyd Young reprises his Tony-winning performance as Valli. But it also aims to be an edgier film exploring the band's entanglements with the mob back in Jersey — a sort of "Goodfellas" to pop music. The goals don't always mix.

The dialogue, too, sometimes sounds overly, well, stagey.

And a key convention of the show — band members breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly — is used unevenly, abandoned for long stretches and suddenly popping up when it doesn't feel needed.

"Venus in Fur"

Roman Polanski. Sadomasochism. What could possible go wrong?

The combination of director and subject material in "Venus in Fur" is wickedly perverse, just as it should be. Polanski and David Ives' award-winning play are a match made if not in heaven, then surely in some demon's dungeon.

The play was a Broadway hit, led by a star-making, Tonywinning performance by Nina Arianda. Here French actress Emmanuelle Seigner takes over the role of Vanda, a tardy, gum-smacking actress who arrives on a stormy night for an audition with a director (Mathieu Amalric) at a Paris theater for a production called "Venus in Fur." That is just the start of the hall of mirrors. "Venus in Fur" is a movie-within-a-play based on a play-within-a-play, which itself is based on a novel-within-a-novel.

The origin is Austrian author Leopold von SacherMasoch's semi-autobiographical 1870 novella "Venus in Furs," about a man who craves to be dominated by his love, Vanda. ("Masochist" derives from the author's name.) Ives' play is about an arrogant playwright adapting the novel for the stage.

Polanski had stayed largely faithful to the play, but has translated it to French, substituted his wife (Seigner) for Vanda, cast Amalric as a younger doppelganger for himself and added a terrific, carnival-esque score by Alexander Desplat.

"22 Jump Street" inspired comedy

By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Things are always worse the second time around, the deputy police chief warns the buddy-cop team of Jenko and Schmidt in "22 Jump Street."

He's talking about their next assignment, but of course, it's an inside joke — with the audience. "22 Jump Street," starring the inspired comic duo of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, is a sequel, and movie sequels are indeed often worse (especially when, as the chief also points out, the budget's bigger the second time around.)

Self-referential jokes aside, things aren't worse the second time around for Hill, Tatum and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

It's fine to make fun of sequels — and this

movie does, all the way to a fabulous endingcredits bit that steals the film — when you know you've made a pretty darned good one yourself.

Not that this film is perfect — some jokes go too far, or too long, or both, and one running gag involving prison sex is gratuitous, ill-advised, unfunny, and, well, we'd say more but three adjectives are enough. Many more jokes, though — spoken and visual — succeed beautifully.

And the cast? It's a pretty heavenly group, anchored of course by Hill and Tatum, who have a Laurel-and-Hardy-like implausible chemistry that keeps you laughing pretty much no matter what they're doing.

If you never saw "21 Jump Street," no worries — the filmmakers bring you up to speed fast. The last film saw Jenko (Tatum)

and Schmidt (Hill) go undercover to high school. This time, it's college they're ordered to infiltrate, to thwart a nasty drug ring. ("I'm the first person in my family to pretend to go to college," Jenko says proudly.)

It's part of the joke that the pasty, pudgy Schmidt, especially, hardly looks collegeage and doesn't really try, despite his need to blend in. "Tell us about the war — ANY of them," one student, Mercedes (a terrific Jillian Bell), says to him mockingly.

Even less plausible than Schmidt being an undergrad: that the exquisitely gorgeous art major Maya, Mercedes' roommate (Amber Stevens), would somehow hook up with him, when he's nothing but bumbling in her presence. But, as they say in college, whatever. Maybe she's blown away by his (terrible, and very funny) attempt at slam

poetry.

The college setting provides its usual comic fodder, starting with a cute montage involving things you need to live in college dorms: Popup laundry hampers, beanbag chairs, lava lamps, shower poofs, a bacon machine (don't ask.) There's also the obligatory frat house, which sets up the amusing BFF relationship between studly Jenko and studly frat leader Zook (Wyatt Russell, who brings to mind a younger Owen Wilson.)

Jenko bonds easily with Zook, who lures him onto the football team, where Jenko succeeds dramatically. The two bond so well that Jenko and Schmidt have a sort of buddy-cop breakup. "Maybe we should, you know, investigate other people," Jenko tells a wounded Schmidt.

The story returns us to Berk, where our young Viking hero, Hiccup (again voiced by Jay Baruchel), lives and frolics with his devoted dragon, Toothless, whom he befriended in the first movie, with momentous ramifications for human-dragon relations. Five years have passed, and now Berk is a virtual playground for dragons and Vikings alike.

An amusing opening sequence shows the new pursuit of dragon-racing, a game that vaguely resembles Quidditch.

And adjustments have been made to enhance dragon-human coexistence: for example, an aqueduct system, to quickly put out those pesky dragon-breath fires.

Hiccup, though, isn't into the games — he's attracted to the beautiful skies, and spends his time exploring them, aboard Toothless, adding to the map he's making of the world. His first scene of airborne frolic with Toothless is absolutely beautiful, and a sign of the visual delights to come.

Hiccup's restless nature, though, is at odds with the aspirations of his burly father, Stoick the Vast (a sweetly gruff Gerard Butler), who wants Hiccup to take up new responsibilities. But Hiccup doesn't feel leadership is really his thing. That's what he tells spunky Astrid (America Ferrera, back from the first film), who is now his girlfriend, as well as a fellow explorer. (Other famous returning voices are Jonah Hill as Snotlout and Kristen Wiig as Ruffnut.)

One day Hiccup and Astrid make an ominous discovery: A trapper's fort. Eret, son of Eret (Kit Harington) is cocky and ambitious. But his boss? He's evil.

That would be Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou), a vicious villain who's building a dragon army. Hiccup resolves to stop him.

And someone else, he learns — a mysterious figure in the skies — is also fighting Drago. Her name is Valka, and she is, shockingly, none other than Hiccup's mother, long presumed dead. In fact, Valka — voiced by Cate Blanchett in an elegant, otherworldly accent — has spent these long years saving dragons. The scene in which she shows him the fantastic oasis where these rescued dragons live — a tropical wonderland inside a giant ice formation — is

June 26, 2014

a marvel of color and inventive design, probably the prettiest scene in the film.

For a while, it seems like a perfect family reunion. But happiness is short-lived. Valka doesn't believe, as her family does, that dragons can live with humans — humans can be too cruel. And Drago, with his violent plans, is proving her right.

Without giving away too much, this is where the film travels into darker areas than its predecessor, displaying an admirable maturity. Many animated tales involve dashing acts of bravery, b u t r a re l y d o t h e y s h o w t h e possible tragic consequences of such acts. Many tears will be shed over the scene where Hiccup learns that bad things can happen to good people.

Religion Religion briefs Arkansas pastor is new Southern Baptist president

BALTIMORE (AP) — An Arkansas megachurch pastor is the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The Rev. Ronnie Floyd received 52 percent of votes Tuesday from delegates to the annual meeting of the nation's largest Protestant denomination. Floyd beat out the Rev. Dennis Kim, the Korean-American pastor of a bilingual Maryland church, who received 41 percent of the vote.

Floyd has been the pastor at Cross Church in northwest Arkansas for 27 years. About 8,500 people worship each week at one of the church's several locations.

He was nominated by the powerful head of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the Rev. Albert Mohler.

Mohler told the crowd of 5,000 meeting in Baltimore that Floyd is person who can lead the denomination at a time of "horrifying moral rebellion" in the nation.

The resolution approved Tuesday states that the denomination opposes hormone therapy, gender reassignment surgery and other efforts to "alter one's bodily identity."

According to the resolution, "God's design was the creation of two distinct and complementary sexes, male and female."

The resolution expresses opposition to government efforts to "validate transgender identity as morally praiseworthy."

The resolution also condemns the bullying and abuse of transgender people and expresses love and compassion for "those whose sexual self-understanding is shaped by a distressing conflict between their biological sex and their gender identity."

But more than a month after Guinea President Alpha Conde told reporters the Ebola outbreak that originated in his country was under control, the death toll continues to climb in his country as well as in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Inspectors criticize schools over Islamist 'plot'

LONDON (AP) — The British government has announced that schools will be required to teach "British values" after inspectors found school board members with hard-line Muslim views had intimidated teachers and imposed religiously motivated restrictions at several institutions.

Inspectors were called in after an anonymous letter alleged a plot called "Operation Trojan Horse" by Muslim fundamentalists to infiltrate schools in Birmingham.

Authorities believe the letter was a hoax, but the alleged plot triggered inquiries and inflamed tensions in Britain's secondlargest city, which has a large Muslim population.

The Office for Standards in Education says five of 21 schools it inspected had failed to protect students from extremism.

One school attempted to ban mixed-sex swimming lessons; at another, music lessons were dropped because they were considered un-Islamic; and at a third, board members vetted the script for a nativity play and told staff they could not use a doll to represent the baby Jesus.

Travel The Magic House helps create an area just for kids For The Edge Lambert-St. Louis International Airport has opened a transportationthemed play exhibit that will help children burn restless energy and inspire their imaginations at the same time.

The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum unveiled the St. Louis International Play Port, a 1,500 sq. ft. exhibit, in the C Concourse at Gate C2. This interactive exhibit features a mini airport where children will use their imaginations to experience what it’s like to travel these days. The play area includes a kid-sized plane, an air traffic control tower with a slide, car rental counters, a luggage conveyor belt and an airport screening area with a pretend x-ray machine. Children can also explore other popular modes of transportation in the exhibit including a car, a truck and a van.

They can also take the driver’s seat in kids-version of a MetroLink light rail train, which is a popular mode of transportation to the Airport and across the St. Louis area.

“The Play Port is a welcome addition for the thousands of families who travel through Lambert each year,” said Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, Director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. “We are thrilled to have partnered with The Magic House to open this unique space which will fuel the wonder of travel for children and give families a one-of-a kind activity that can only be found

at Lambert.”

The Magic House’s children’s exhibit at the airport took off in large part due to the strong showing of community support for the idea through RallySTL.org, a first-of-its-kind crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platform where

The Arts

Julia Biggs/Intelligencer

SIUE student Jessica Belangee is featured at the Edwardsville Arts Center with her exhibit, "Gauzy Wings and Gleaming Bodies."

Exhibit showcases charcoal/paint works

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The work of SIUE Bachelor of Fine Arts student Jessica Belangee is currently being featured in the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Dennis DeToye Student Gallery.

Her exhibit, “Gauzy Wings and Gleaming Bodies,” includes an interesting mix of charcoal/paint artwork as well as giant black and white scratch-boards.

A self-proclaimed super-senior who plans to graduate next semester, Belangee talked about the work she was exhibiting. “It’s two strands of work,” she said.

“I work on paper with charcoal and dry medium and paint, and I also work on Masonite and make giant scratchboards basically. It’s really kind of interesting.”

Belangee elaborated about how she creates her scratch-board art.

“I get a glossy Masonite so it’s a white background on it or black. Either one works.

And I basically paint my imagery down in the background and tie it together,” she said.

“I’ll scratch away at that black surface and reveal the white underneath. It’s kind of like an experiment this semester. I just decided to do something different and it’s kind of

interesting how you can make giant scratch boards.” ”I usually work with animalia in my work – clouds and landscape as well,” Belangee added about her work. “I usually use black or white in my imagery. I haven’t really experimented with really bright colors yet.

My first one was a large rhinoceros beetle. I have fun imagery in my work.”

Belangee explained that she has three large-scale works about 30 inches by 40 inches in the exhibition with the scratchboard medium and then several smaller ones.

She explained that she began the semester actually working with the internal structure of the human anatomy. “Like intestines and stuff. Technically we’re still animals just not like dogs and cats or anything. I had synthesized that with clouds as well,” Belangee said. “For some reason I diagnosed the intestines looking like clouds in my opinion. So I have some abstract work like that and then I slowly get the animal work into that and that went to the beetle larva because it kind of looks like intestines and clouds as well.”Most all of her past work had included some type of imagery of animals, but this past semester she said she explored other avenues. “I definitely experimented this semester taking my ideas from previous

work and trying to implement the natural wildlife,” Belangee said. “I’ve always dealt with animals in my work. I just love wildlife so I’m trying to put it back into my work and that’s what I came up with.”

Her work transitioned to include beetles.

“I’m just growing up I suppose,” she said with a chuckle. “This work is really my best semester so far. It’s very diverse.”

After graduating, Belangee plans to take a short break and then attend graduate school.

“I just feel like I could build my skill further.

I love making art. I can’t imagine not doing it. So why not learn more and more and more and keep making it for the rest of your lives,” she said.

When she isn’t busy studying or creating art for school, Belangee likes to do illustrating. “It’s like a hidden gem I guess you could say. My professors know about it, but SIUE doesn’t really have an illustration program so I do that on my own time,” she said.

Her dream is to someday make illustrations for children’s books. “It’s complete opposite of what I do. I do these intense fine art pieces, and then I turn around and do cute little drawings of animals. I love doing it. Ever since I’ve been little, I just drew and sketched all the time. I’d make up

June 26, 2014

monsters all the time. I still love doing it.

It’s something I do everyday. I just get my sketch book out and draw.”

Belangee’s illustrations may come from real life like her dog or goldfish, but there’s always one constant in her drawings.

“Everything is animals,” she said. “So, that’s what I’d love to do (in the future) is illustrate as well as go to graduate school.”

Belangee’s student gallery show runs concurrently with “1000 Threads” in the Main Gallery through July 11.

Each summer, the Edwardsville Arts Center partners with SIUE to provide students the opportunity to exhibit their work in its Dennis DeToye Student Gallery.

“I’m so happy I could have this opportunity,” she said with immense gratitude. “I think it definitely helps with my work output. I was just blown away at this opportunity. I’m so happy and grateful.

When I first got asked, I was just like, 'Is this real. Can I really do this?' I’m so excited.”

The EAC is located in the southeastern corner of Edwardsville High School at 6165 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville.

The EAC is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Wednesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

CAM offers free summer admission

The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) is excited to announce free admission to the Museum for the summer exhibition season, today through August 10, compliments of the Gateway Foundation. Building on previous initiatives to make the Museum more accessible—including evening hours on Thursdays and Fridays and a wide variety of free and lowcost programs—free admission fulfills the Museum’s longtime goal of being able to open its doors to the entire community.

This summer CAM celebrates St. Louis’s vibrant arts scene with the 2014 Great Rivers Biennial, featuring the work of three St. Louis-based artists and sponsored by the Gateway Foundation. Free admission is timed to coincide with this special exhibition, bringing transformational experiences with art to an even broader audience.

“We are thrilled to be working with the Gateway F o u n d a t i o n t o p re s e n t b o t h f re e a d m i s s i o n a n d the Great Rivers Biennial,” said CAM Executive Director Lisa Melandri. “We invite the public to experience art at CAM all summer long—come see us any time, often, on us!”

The Arts EAC schedules temporary replacement for ArtEAST

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

T

he Edwardsville Arts Center is collaborating with the City of Edwardsville to host Edwardsville’s first-ever juried fine art show. The Edwardsville Art Fair is slated to take place Oct. 17 through Oct. 19 in City Park in Edwardsville. Organizers are currently in search of artists, sponsors and volunteers for the event.

EAC Interim Director Elizabeth Link explained that the City of Edwardsville had been interested in having an art fair for several years. “In a meeting that we had with the mayor and the director of public works and Katie Grable, we were talking about several things,” Link said. “But one of the reasons that I wanted to talk to them was that something that has been happening in the area for a long time – ArtEAST – has been canceled for the year.”

Link elaborated saying that the Jacoby Art Center, which has hosted ArtEAST for many years, has a new board that is “re-evaluating everything.”

“So for this year, ArtEAST is likely not to happen. And since that is a venue for all our local artists to use to sell their work, I thought an art fair might be a good substitute,” Link noted.

“We’re going to do the Edwardsville Art Fair the same weekend as ArtEAST typically occurs so those artists that are used to being a part of ArtEAST have the opportunity for another venue.”

Link also emphasized that they were not trying to eliminate ArtEAST. “We just wanted to find an alternative for this year,” Link stressed. “So if ArtEAST is evaluated by the new board, and they figure out how to continue it next year, we’ll just find another weekend for the Edwardsville Art Fair.”

While planning an art fair typically takes a year, Link said they intend to do it in about six months mainly due to it being a potential substitute to ArtEAST. But they are currently in search of artists for the fair as well as sponsors and volunteers.

Artists can apply online at www.edwardsvilleartscenter.com. “It’s open to anybody. It’s a juried show, and we’re going to have room for at least 100 artists,” Link explained. “Artists can enter together.

A couple of artists can collaborate and submit their work together and share a booth.”

The deadline for artists to enter is July 1.

“And we’re awarding $15,000 worth of prizes for the artists. So we’re looking for sponsors,” Link added.

Sponsors will also be invited to a special VIP event opening night.

In addition to guests being able to peruse the beautiful art created by accomplished artists during the art fair, children will enjoy Edwardsville Art Fair ’s Create It and Take It art section on Saturday where they will create their own take-away art projects.

Art materials will be provided free for this children’s activity.

Fair hours will be from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 17, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 18 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 19.

The Edwardsville Art Fair organizers are also currently seeking volunteers which are vitally important for this event.

There are several areas volunteers can work in during the fair such as the Children's Create It and Take It tent, hospitality, the souvenir booth, the VIP tent and exhibit breakdown.

Volunteers are especially needed in the area of hospitality which may include helping to provide meals, snacks, water and assistance to artists in setup, throughout the show, and in show breakdown.

“Hospitality volunteers babysit the artist’s booth for them if they need to take a break. So someone trustworthy will sit with the art until the artist comes back,” Link elaborated. “Bringing them water and whatever they need to be comfortable because it’s a long weekend – its Friday night, Saturday and Sunday - and the artists need to be there. So, hospitality is key in making sure the fair is successful.”

Signing up to volunteer is easy on the EAC’s Web site under the “event” tab. “If you click on sign up now, you get more specifics on signing up, and you can actually pick a time period and what you will be working on,” Link said.

In preparation for the event, the public can buy art cash now which can be redeemed at the Edwardsville Art Fair. “People can basically pre-purchase gift certificates for the art fair and give them as gifts so come October, if people want to go out and buy art at the art fair, they’ll be able to with their gift certificates,” Link said.

Art certificates may be purchased in $50 increments with a minimum $50 order on the EAC’s website or a pre-purchase form can be downloaded from their site and mailed to the EAC along with payment.

The first 200 patrons who purchase a minimum of $300 in art certificates will receive a poster signed by the artist and two tickets to the VIP event.

In case of inclement weather, the Edwardsville Art Fair will be moved indoors at Edwardsville High School.

“So it's a great partnership – the city, the school and the Art Center. It’s exciting, and I think it will be fun,” Link said.

Music Tuning in Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band to appear at the Fox

Fox Concerts presents Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band on Friday, October 3 at 8 p.m. Live at The Fox Theatre.

Tickets are $127.50, $97.50, $69.50, $59.50, $49.50 and are avilable online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.

Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo has been one of the world’s brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful, dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter, drummer, collaborator, and actor.

Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock ‘n’ roll, he continues to play an important recording, touring, and unofficial mentoring role in modern music. Ringo’s candor, wit and soul are the lifeblood of his music.

As he sang on the autobiographical Liverpool 8, “I always followed my heart and I never missed a beat.” Peace and love are his life’s rhythm and melody, and he propels this universal message in everything he does: his evocative artwork, his enthused live performances, his legendary songs, all imbued with the joy, reflection, and wisdom of the music icon the world knows and loves simply as ‘Ringo.’

Ringo has toured with over 12 All Starr Bands since the 1990s.

Members who will be performing as part of His All Starr Band in St. Louis include Steve Lukather from Toto, Richard Page from Mr. Mister, Gregg Rolie from Santana & Journey, the phenomenal Todd Rundgren, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette.

Mannheim Steamroller is part of the 2014 – 2015 U.S. Bank Broadway Series.

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Christmas Tour and release of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, an album that revolutionized the Holiday Season music category. It’s also the 40th Anniversary of Davis’ first album in his Fresh Aire series, which pioneered the New Age music category.

Grammy Award winner Chip Davis will direct and co-produce Tour performances with MagicSpace Entertainment. The show features classic Christmas hits from Mannheim Steamroller and multimedia effects in an intimate setting.

In addition to being a holiday tradition for many families, the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Tour regularly attracts repeat attendance from multi-generational guests and is one of the longest running tours in the music industry.

Davis plans to release a new album, Mannheim Steamroller 30/40, this fall. In celebration of the 30th Anniversary Christmas Tour, tracks will include Christmas fan favorites while selections from Davis’ iconic Fresh Aire series and recordings by his daughter, Elyse, will celebrate 40 years of ground-breaking sound.

M a n n h e i m S t e a m ro l l e r h a s sold more than 40 million albums, 28 million in the Christmas genre.

With a total of twelve holiday CDs, an average of eight Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums occupy Billboard’s Top Seasonal Chart every year.

With 19 gold, 8 multi-platinum and 4 platinum-certified records, Chip Davis is among an elite group of artists that include U2, Jay-Z, and The Beach Boys with such certifications.

age. This former teacher and jingle writer founded the music industry’s largest independent recording label, American Gramaphone, in 1974 when industry executives said Davis’ innovative 18th century instrumental rock sound would never sell. In addition to a Grammy Award, Davis is largely credited with establishing the New Age music category that revolutionized the making and marketing of holiday music. His first Christmas album was released in 1984; the album’s success made Christmas records a “must do” for all music artists. With more than 40 million total records sold including 28 million Christmas albums, Mannheim Steamroller founder Chip Davis is the #1-selling Christmas artist of all time.

Davis, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry, offers a rich array of lifestyle products on www.mannheimsteamroller. com including hot chocolate, food, apparel and novelty items. His latest achievement is creating a cutting edge psychoacoustic technology that is being used in major medical institutions such as Mayo Clinic and is also being studied by NASA for potential use in space.

Fox to welcome Bob Weir

Bob Weir and Ratdog with very special guest The Chris Robinson Brotherhood will appear Friday, August 29 at 7 p.m. Live at The Fox Theatre.

Tickets are $99.50, $59.50, $49.50, $39.50 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-5341111, or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.

With a touring history that has made him one of the most traveled road musicians of all time and a restless music personality that has kept him occupied for over 50 years, Weir knows a thing or two about staying fresh and living in the moment. Although best known as one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead, adding Dead staples such as “Truckin’,” “Sugar

Magnolia,” and “Cassidy” to the band’s catalog, Weir obtained a long and affluent music career that has allowed him to do what he loves and share it with others for nearly his entire life.

In 1964, at the age of 17, Weir spent the majority of his time at a Palo Alto music store where Jerry Garcia taught guitar lessons.

It wasn’t long before Weir and Garcia, along with Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, formed a blues and folk outfit. Originally called Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, the band was later renamed The Warlocks—adding Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzman to the lineup—and eventually came to be known as the Grateful Dead.

Throughout the late 1980s and during the first half of the 1990s, the Dead remained Weir’s primary gig. Touring incessantly while all the while building up a community of “Deadheads,” the band finally found commercial success with their 1987 album, In the Dark. When Garcia died in 1995, Weir had just recently formed RatDog with Rob Wasserman, a bassist he had been playing duo shows with since the late 1980s. After Garcia’s death, former Primus drummer Jay Lane and ex-Kingfish harmonica/guitar player Matthew Kelly were added into the mix. With a revolving lineup, the group toured relentlessly, building a name for themselves while performing a mix of new Weir compositions and older, reworked Dead songs.

In 1998, Weir reunited with several former Dead bandmates to tour as The Other Ones, releasing a live album in 1999 and hitting the road again in 2000.
