People Liberty Apple Orchard open for season Transplanted New Yorkers start rural Edwardsville business in retirement

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge While many people spend their retirement traveling or just relaxing, Lugene and Steve Miller decided to use their retirement to start a completely different chapter in their lives. The Miller's bought farm land just east of Edwardsville where they built themselves a home, planted several hundred apple trees on the land and opened Liberty Apple Orchard.

Now in its third year of operation, Liberty Apple Orchard, located at 8308 Kuhn Station Road in Edwardsville, has opened its U-pick season.

Originally from upstate New York, the Millers moved to Glen Carbon in 1999 via a job Steve had in the energy industry. As retirement neared, the couple set out a plan that involved purchasing property just east of Edwardsville and opening an apple orchard.

The Millers explained that they chose to open an apple orchard because they had thoroughly enjoyed picking apples growing up in upstate New York.

“Upstate New York is a good apple growing area,” Steve said. “Some of the best times of our lives have been when we'd go out apple picking. We have four daughters, and we have been picking apples with them throughout the country - from upstate New York to Portland, Ore., to Indiana and of course to here in the St Louis area.”

“It has good memories, and it connects us to our families,” Lugene said. “We wanted to be able to do that for other people.”

“And having the opportunity for kids to see where apples come f ro m a n d a c t u a l l y p i c k t h e m themselves,” Steve added. “It was a way for us to do something for others and do something we love.”

The Millers bought the rural Edwardsville farmland in 2007. A year later they built a home on the property and also began planting apple trees in the spring of 2008.

Liberty Apple Orchard opened for business in 2013, but each year the Millers have added more trees.

The orchard now has almost 1,000 trees that were all planted entirely by the Millers themselves.

Lugene explained that they operate Liberty Apple Orchard under a few main philosophies.

“We grow a really good fruit, and we only grow apples,” she emphasized. “It's accessible for people and clean. We pick up apples every day so moms can come out here with their strollers.”

Being a retired teacher, Lugene is equally focused on educating any children visitors about “where apples come from.” Education is so important to the Millers that they built a replica oneroom school house, aptly named Liberty School, which is located at the entrance of the orchard. The school building features an interior décor that mimics motifs from schools 100 years ago. A large blackboard encompasses almost an entire wall of the school while presidential photos of Lincoln and Washington flank the blackboard.

A bookshelf of apple-themed books and apple cooking books are available for guests to peruse, and an original, refinished schoolhouse desk rounds out the design. Inside

Steve and Lugene Miller, owners of Liberty Apple Orchard in rural Edwardsville. Below, the orchard itself. the school, visitors can purchase fresh picked apples from the store, browse and or purchase the books and apple-inspired greeting cards or take a cool break from applepicking in the air conditioned school house.

The back half of Liberty School is used for storage as well as apple-sorting and packing for the orchard's outreach program. The Millers have provided their fresh apples to about eight separate food banks in Madison County since opening three years ago.

“The school house used to be the center of the community,” Lugene elaborated about Liberty School.

“It was a place where kids went to school, where people came to worship or gather at a town hall or activities. And we wanted that idea where people can come here whether as a family or community group and enjoy picking the apples or enjoy coming and helping us take the apples to the food bank.”

The Millers chose to name the orchard Liberty for several reasons.

“Locally there's the use of the word Liberty a couple of times,” Steve said referring to Lincoln Middle

School and the original Lincoln School. “Probably foremost we did it because liberty means free will and the freedom of our country.”

“And actually we named it after the words of Lincoln here,” Steve noted pointing to the photo of Abraham Lincoln on the wall. "'A new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal' – that was the driving force behind it.”

Owning an apple orchard has been a labor of love for the Millers. Having had no previous background in growing apple trees, the couple turned to various university extension offices for assistance. “We've learned along the way,” Steve pointed out. “The University of Illinois has helped us a lot with our program overall.

And Cornell, Michigan State and so on. They provide some good advice. We try to minimize the amount of sprays on the trees. In this part of the country you have to do some and then you have problems anyway.”

They follow the University of Illinois' “good agricultural

practices” which means that they don't sell any of the fruit that falls to the ground, and that they use municipal water on the trees rather than water from ponds or untested wells. The Millers asked that customers not bring pets to the orchard which was also recommended by U of I as another “good agricultural practice.”

They've learned from the universities that it's best to grow some apple hybrids better suited to the region which is why customers may not recognize all the names of the 12 different varieties of apples that will available at different times during the season. Jonathan and Gala apples will be the first varieties ready for picking starting late August. By mid-September, Empire, Cortland and McIntosh apples will be available, followed

by Liberty and Fuji varieties. In October, Braeburn, Enterprise, Candycrisp, Gold Rush, and Granny Smith will be available for picking.

Although some apple names, l i k e L i b e r t y, m a y n o t b e a familiar, Lugene emphasized that throughout the season they will

September 3, 2015

have varieties of apples that are good “pie apples” or good “sweeteating” apples which they will be happy to help customers identify.

Lugene also encouraged families with the smallest of children to visit. "The trees are small, so even the littlest of hands can reach the fruit,” she said. “The orchard is well mowed, easily accessible from our drive and ideal for photos of your family.”

“Some of the special events planned for the orchard during selected weekends this season include baked apple cider doughnuts and demonstrations on how to make your own apple cider,” Lugene added.

In addition, Liberty Apple Orchard also offers opportunities for class or group field trips to pick apples and learn about growing an apple orchard, fundraisers for youth groups, mission groups, or schools, and simply as a source of healthy snacks for fall festivals or Halloween celebrations.

U-Pick hour will be Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Liberty Apple Orchard's produce is also available at the Land of Goshen Farmer's Market i n E d w a rd s v i l l e o n S a t u rd a y mornings and some local grocery stores.

For further information on the ripening schedule and times and dates for special events, follow Liberty Apple Orchard o n F a c e b o o k , v i s i t w w w. libertyappleorchard.com or call (618) 659-9217.

Liberty Apple Orchard is located east of Edwardsville.

From the Meyer YMCA in Edwardsville, go east on Goshen Road approximately two miles, turn right on Staunton Rd., cross the Bike Trail, turn left on Kuhn Station Rd. The orchard and schoolhouse are down the road about one-fourth of a mile on the right.

Missouri History Museum to exhibit Nazi Propaganda The Nazi Party developed a sophisticated propaganda machine that deftly spread lies about its political opponents, Jews, and the need to justify war.

But Nazi propaganda was much m o re c o m p l e x t h a n t h a t . F o r the Nazis to achieve power and pursue their racial policies and expansionist war efforts, a much more nuanced picture had to be painted—one that would appeal to broad swaths of the population, not just a fanatical extreme.

Featuring rarely seen artifacts, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda draws visitors into a rich multimedia environment vividly illustrating the insidious allure of much of Nazi propaganda. The exhibition opens at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park on April 11, 2015 and will be on display through September 7, 2015.

“Adolf Hitler was an avid student of propaganda and borrowed techniques from the Allies in World War I, his Socialist and Communist rivals, the Italian Fascist Party, as well as modern advertising,” says exhibition curator Steven Luckert.

“Drawing upon these models, he successfully marketed the Nazi Party, its ideology, and himself to the German people.”

T h e e x h i b i t i o n re v e a l s h o w shortly after World War I, the Nazi Party began to transform itself from an obscure, extremist group into the largest political party in democratic Germany.

Hitler early on recognized how propaganda, combined with the use of terror, could help his radical party gain mass support and votes. He personally adapted the ancient symbol of the swastika

4

and the emotive colors of red, black, and white to create the movement’s flag. In doing so, Hitler established a potent visual identity that has branded the Nazi Party ever since.

A f t e r s e i z i n g p o w e r, t h e Nazi Party took over all communications in Germany. It marshaled the state’s resources to consolidate power and relentlessly promote its vision of a “racially pure,” utopian Germany that needed to defend itself from those who would destroy it. Jews were cast as the primary enemies, but others, including Roma, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Wi t n e s s e s , a n d m e n t a l l y a n d physically disabled persons, were also portrayed as threats to the “national community.”

As Germany pushed the world i n t o w a r, N a z i p r o p a g a n d a rationalized Germany’s territorial expansion as self-defense. Jews were depicted as agents of disease and corruption. The Nazis’ actions against them, in Germany and occupied countries, were promoted as necessary measures to protect the population at large.

Admission to State of Deception is free.

The Missouri History Museum has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Founding members established the organization “for the purpose of saving from oblivion the early history of the city and state.”

To d a y, t h e M i s s o u r i H i s t o r y Museum seeks to deepen the understanding of past choices, present circumstances, and future possibilities; strengthen the bonds of the community; and facilitate solutions to common problems. Due to its innovative approach to public service, the Missouri History Museum was the first recipient of the Institute of Museum and Library S e r v i c e s N a t i o n a l Aw a rd f o r Museum Services in 1994. The

Missouri History Museum offers programs and outreach services, including traveling exhibitions; tours; theatrical and musical presentations; programs for school classes and youth groups; family festivals; special events; workshops; and lectures.

People People planner World War I art exhibit open

Wa r l o o k s d i ff e re n t , b e f o re you’re in it.

In 1914, as Europe lumbered optimistically to battle, a proxy fight was joined in the pages of popular media. Combatant nations, seeking cultural as well as military dominance, deployed visual propaganda to rally support and attack enemies. Yet as the death toll mounted, a generation of artists, many of whom served in uniform, sought new artistic languages to convey the grief and horror they had witnessed.

This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “World War I: War of Images, Images of War.” Drawn primarily from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, where it debuted in fall 2014, the exhibition features more than 150 objects that together chart a chronological path from exuberant outbreak through years of grinding combat and into the long, unsettled aftermath.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 4.

Included are paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, illustrated journals, correspondence from the front and other materials by artists such as Max Beckmann, Umberto Boccioni, Georges Braque, Otto Dix, Natalia Goncharova, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger and Kazimir Malevich.

War of Images The exhibition opens with “War of Images,” which explores how different nations sought to elevate their own cultural symbols while denigrating the supposed national traits — German barbarism, British imperialism, French decadence, Russian cowardice — of opponents.

F re n c h a r t i s t J e a n C o c t e a u , whose health prevented enlistment but who later drove a Red Cross ambulance, co-founded the journal Le Mot (“The Word”) with designer Paul Iribe. The cover of their second issue depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II as the German hero Lohengrin, but wittily replaces the knight’s legendary swan boat with a red, grasping crayfish.

C o n v e r s e l y, t h e G e r m a n magazine Simplicissimus, a longtime government critic, now voiced patriotic support. A striking cover from October 1914 — by Thomas Theodor Heine, who’d once been jailed for caricaturing the Kaiser — shows a colonial Englishman, pith helmet ajar, clutching precariously at a bloodsoaked globe.

Other works play on visual codes such as the Russian bear and the French Marianne. A series of rarely seen images by avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, modeled on popular Russian prints known as lubki, depict idealized peasants in traditional costume fearlessly routing enemy troops.

Images of War But for witnesses on the ground, arguments about cultural superiority quickly paled. “Images of War,” the exhibition’s second section, collects artworks, letters, diaries and other first-person accounts that demonstrate the yawning gap between rhetoric and the reality of battle.

Symbolist Henry de Groux, who fled Belgium just ahead of German invasion, captures the

air of menace with his dark and swirling “Grenade Thrower,” from the series “Le visage de la victoire” (1914-16). In “The Trench” (191516), Swiss-born artist Félix Vallotton depicts a line of French soldiers, only helmets and bayonets visible, as the earth explodes behind them.

A never-before-exhibited war diary by futurist Umberto Boccioni, who died in 1916, details a tumultuous period on the Italian front. The expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, who was deeply scarred by his time in the German Army — and whom, decades later, the Nazi’s would brand a “degenerate artist” — drew the Apocalypse on the backs of cigarette boxes.

Also included are rare examples of handmade “trench art,” with which soldiers memorialized their units and the battles they fought.

These range from painted helmets and an engraved canteen to small objects made from shell casings.

Aftermath The final section, “Aftermath,” opens with celebrations of armistice and photographs of jubilant French crowds. Yet even for Allies, victory was pyrrhic.

F e r n a n d L é g e r, w h o b a r e l y survived mustard gas, fills his illustrations for Blaise Cendrars’ “J’ai tué” (“I Have Killed”) (1918) with rifles, helmets and fractured war matériel.

The Germans Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz spent years coming to terms with their experiences, with Dix in particular re t u r n i n g o b s e s s i v e l y t o t h e subject. In addition to several prints, the exhibition features re c o rd i n g s , m a d e i n 1 9 6 3 , i n which Dix discusses his time as a machine-gunner on the Western front.

But the costs of combat are not paid by soldiers alone. Käthe K o l l w i t z ’ s s o n , P e t e r, w a s a student in Berlin when fighting began. He quickly enlisted and died in Flanders — the first of his regiment to fall. A decade later, the grieving mother completed “Seven Woodcuts about the War” (1924), a searing testament to the anguish of those left behind. As Kollwitz would write to one of Peter ’s comrades, himself later killed at Verdun: “There is in our lives a wound which will never heal. Nor should it.”

“World War I: War of Images, Images of War” is organized by

the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Works are drawn primarily from the Getty archives, with loans from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Washington University’s Modern Graphic History Library; and private collections.

The St. Louis iteration features additional works from the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Kemper Art Museum and local private collections. It is curated by Karen K. Butler, associate curator of the Kemper Art Museum.

An opening reception will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11.

The exhibition will remain on view through Jan. 4, 2016.

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo will be held on May 14-15, 2016, and will be headlined by performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, flying the St. Louisbuilt Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, and many other flight performances and static-aircraft displays.

“Boeing is tightly woven into the fabric of aviation heritage in the St. Louis region and is a leader in promoting the high-technology resources of our communities,” said John Bales, president of the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo and Spirit of St. Louis

Airport director. “We appreciate the support and confidence of this fine company and are proud to once again have the Boeing name associated with this event.”

people to the event, with many more watching from surrounding vantage points.

"Mistress America"

The first year of college is an anxious time for anybody.

The predictable framework of high school falls away, and a teenager who lived with her parents is suddenly a freerange semi-adult with her own dorm room and infinite decisions to make about who she will become.

A c t re s s L o l a K i r k e e m b o d i e s t h i s a n x i e t y a n d vulnerability in "Mistress America," a sharply written exploration of identity and friendship by director Noah Baumbach and actress Greta Gerwig in their third cinematic collaboration.

With its crackling, stylized dialogue, "Mistress America" almost should have been a play. Its deliberately crafted phrases stick around long after the credits roll; like, "He's one of those people that I hate, except that I'm in love with him" and "Her beauty was that rare kind that made you want to look more like yourself and not like her."

The language is the central character here, with wry quips coming so quickly, the film practically demands a second viewing even before the first is finished.

Tracy (Kirke) is a freshman at a New York college, and campus life is not what she expected. Her enthusiastic application for the literary society is rejected, and the one friend she makes, a guy she might even like, ends up having a super-jealous girlfriend. Tracy was expecting big-city thrills, but finds lonely ennui instead.

Things change when she meets her soon-to-be stepsister, the flamboyant, frenetic Brooke (Gerwig). Tracy is immediately taken with the 30-year-old's dynamic personality and glamorous lifestyle. Brooke lives in an illegal apartment, has an overseas boyfriend, goes to the city's hottest nightclubs, works as a spin instructor and talks big about her plans to open a restaurant/hair salon in Brooklyn.

She also has an idea for "a television show, which I've read is the new novel" about a self-made superhero named "Mistress America."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language including some sexual references."

RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"American Ultra"

The likably awkward chemistry of Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg remains intact in "American Ultra," a violent stoner action-comedy that's half "Pineapple Express," half "The Bourne Identity," and not as good as either.

Stewart and Eisenberg, who starred together in the splendidly low-key summer comedy "Adventureland," again come together as an appealing, mutually mop-headed tandem that matches Eisenberg's stuttering unease with Stewart's deadpan cool.

They play a flannel-wearing West Virginia couple, Mike and Phoebe, happy together despite Mike's weed habit, perpetual apologizing and panic attacks from just about anything that upsets his seemingly innate inertia. Looking at a car that's crashed into a tree, he wonders to Phoebe, placating and devoted, if he's the tree and she's the car.

The small-town, low-stakes drama of "American Ultra" is convincing in the beginning, thanks to the two stars. But it's a setup.

Unbeknownst to Mike, a convenience store clerk, he's an elite killing machine trained by the CIA, a decommissioned government experiment. Few in the movies would be a more unlikely secret agent than Eisenberg. Did the program include Michael Cera? Was Woody Allen in charge?

Switching to Langley, the film, directed by Nima Nourizadeh ("Project X") and written by Max Landis ("Chronicle"), fills in the backstory. A petulant young agent (Topher Grace) has risen in the ranks and now wants to eliminate evidence of the experiment that gave Mike his secret talents, overseen by Connie Britton's more sympathetic

"Hitman: Agent 47"

The idea of the high-tech, emotionless super-soldier is so popular in movies, it's practically a convention. The "Terminator" and "Bourne" franchises, and even last year's animated "Big Hero 6," imagine characters programmed to kill and the would-be world destroyers who want to control them.

The same formula is at work in "Hitman: Agent 47," a stylized shoot-em-up based on a video game, of which no previous knowledge is required. Rupert Friend plays the titular character: an elite assassin genetically engineered to be smarter, faster, more fearless and less remorseful than ordinary human sociopaths. Named for the bar code branded on the back of his head, Agent 47 is stoic, expressionless and amazingly efficient at wielding multiple firearms and using everyday objects as murder weapons.

Unfortunately, "Hitman: Agent 47" leans on another familiar Hollywood convention, this one painfully outdated: the damsel in distress. It's always disheartening to see this tired trope employed, but especially here, where the female protagonist is clearly as capable as any of her male counterparts. Why must she appear constantly on the verge of tears? Why does a brilliant woman like this need saving?

Some moviegoers may not mind the use of this lazy device — which serves as a catalyst for the action and ostensibly why we should care — but for those who do, it's as frustrating as having a piece of popcorn stuck between your teeth.

Dogged by fractured memories from her childhood, Katia (Hannah Ware) is searching for answers. She's turned the biggest wall in her one-room apartment into "A Beautiful Mind"-style mess of maps and photos and newspaper clippings dotted with push-pins and pieces of string. So singularly focused is she on her search that she sleeps on a mattress without sheets.

Two men are after her: Agent 47 and the mysterious John Smith (Zachary Quinto). Because Katia can sense danger before it happens, she escapes through her apartment window and heads straight to a shady, underground guy to secure a fake passport.

"Be careful, little girl," he tells her. "The world is a dangerous place."

Never mind that she is a full-grown adult woman who already knows where to buy a fake passport.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for sequences of strong violence, and some language."

RUNNING TIME: 96 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"No Escape"

Not since Saigon in the 1970s has an American operation in Southeast Asia been as ill-conceived as "No Escape," a taut, well-made and entirely dubious thriller.

Where does "No Escape" take place? It's about a Texas family that arrives in an unnamed Asian country only to immediately be swept up in a horribly violent coup that sends them scampering for survival through foreign, unfamiliar streets strewn with bodies and blood.

The film, co-written and directed by John Erick Dowdle ("As Above, So Below"), was shot in Thailand two years ago, after which a real-life coup by the Thai army overthrew the government. Perhaps to avoid too direct a connection to that coup, "No Escape" (initially titled "The Coup") makes no specific mention of any government. Who needs politics in a political thriller?

September 3, 2015

Beside the murderous chants of a mob or the bland courtesies of a hotel clerk, the natives have no dialogue.

Instead, they are merely the vague backdrop to the harrowing plight of a white American family: Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson), his wife Annie (Lake Bell) and their two daughters (Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare). He, an engineer, has taken a job with a dominant corporation whose ownership of the city's public works has helped inspire the unrest.

Having just deplaned and plopped their bags down in a hotel hours before street warfare erupts, a haze of confusion envelopes the Dwyers, just as it does us. Can a thriller about a coup contain next to zero context about the politics and people involved? Is it enough to drop "Taken," kids in tow, into a faceless Asian nightmare?

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong violence throughout and for language."

"We Are Your Friends"

Part electronic dance music tutorial and part love letter to Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, "We Are Your Friends" is a surprisingly accessible and sweet story of a group of friends standing on the cusp of adulthood with big ambition and little direction.

Regardless of your taste for pulsing electronic music or actor Zac Efron, both are undeniably appealing in this feature debut from director and co-writer Max Joseph. Though the plot may be predictable, Joseph energizes his coming-of-age musical romance with creative animation, explosive dance scenes and a vibrant soundtrack that's like an entree to the EDM genre. And Efron brings such heart to the main character, he's easy to root for.

For Cole (Efron) and his buddies, the glittery promise of Hollywood is so close, they can practically see it from their hometown 10 miles away in the Valley's suburban sprawl.

Cole is an aspiring DJ, and his three childhood friends are his associates and entourage. There's his best friend and wouldbe manager, Mason (Jonny Weston), drug dealer and acting hopeful Ollie (Shiloh Fernandez), and the requisite quiet, sensitive guy, Squirrel (Alex Shaffer). All of them dream of escaping the Valley and finding success "over the hill."

When Cole isn't out jogging or partying with his pals, he's in front of his computer, mixing sounds and beats into what he hopes will become the signature song that launches his career.

"If you're a DJ," he says in voiceover, "all you need is a laptop, some talent and one track."

Cole's luck starts to change when he meets older, established DJ James Reed (Wes Bentley), who immediately and inexplicably takes Cole under his wing and becomes his mentor. Cole covets Reed's life, from his worldwide fame and hilltop home to his gorgeous girlfriend/assistant, Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski). Reed, though, doesn't seem so thrilled. Bentley is perfectly disaffected as the seen-it-all club veteran who parties away his days and nights, a personified cautionary tale.

Meanwhile, Cole and his friends look for more reliable income by taking day jobs at a mortgage company run by a man with obvious wealth but dubious ethics. Here they get a glimpse into the unrewarding alternative to achieving their dreams. Thus, the career challenges for today's 20-somethings look much like those of anyone coming of age in middle-class America since the 1960s.

"American Ultra" a stoner action-comedy

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press The likably awkward chemistry of Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg remains intact in "American Ultra," a violent stoner actioncomedy that's half "Pineapple Express," half "The Bourne Identity," and not as good as either.

Stewart and Eisenberg, who starred together in the splendidly low-key summer comedy "Adventureland," again come together as an appealing, mutually mop-headed tandem that matches Eisenberg's stuttering unease with Stewart's deadpan cool.

They play a flannel-wearing West Virginia couple, Mike and Phoebe, happy together

despite Mike's weed habit, perpetual apologizing and panic attacks from just about anything that upsets his seemingly innate inertia. Looking at a car that's crashed into a tree, he wonders to Phoebe, placating and devoted, if he's the tree and she's the car.

The small-town, low-stakes drama of "American Ultra" is convincing in the beginning, thanks to the two stars. But it's a setup.

Unbeknownst to Mike, a convenience store clerk, he's an elite killing machine trained by the CIA, a decommissioned government experiment. Few in the movies would be a more unlikely secret agent than Eisenberg.

Did the program include Michael Cera? Was Woody Allen in charge?

Switching to Langley, the film, directed by Nima Nourizadeh ("Project X") and written by Max Landis ("Chronicle"), fills in the backstory.

A petulant young agent (Topher Grace) has risen in the ranks and now wants to eliminate evidence of the experiment that gave Mike his secret talents, overseen by Connie Britton's more sympathetic Victoria Lasseter.

To prevent her former student's death, she sneaks to the convenience store and activates Mike with a few code words. When a handful of thugs come to kill him, Mike is astounded to find himself expertly stabbing one with a spoon. Afterward, he cowers behind a lamppost, looking at the bloody wreckage: "I have, like, a lot of anxiety about this," he tells Phoebe.

Much mayhem ensues, surprisingly violent and cartoonish in its extremes. The small town comes entirely under siege. "American Ultra" is a stoner's paranoia come to life. A toothless Walton Goggins joins the strong ensemble as the nuttiest of the CIA's small army, along with John Leguizamo as a local drug dealer.

The assembled talent could use more character development and a little more wit in place of the sadistic, fun-draining comicbook action scenes that increasingly co-opts the comedy, which is too dependent on the eventually tiresome joke of Eisenberg as action hero.

But "American Ultra" has its simple genre charms, thanks significantly to its entertaining cast and leading pair.

"Hitman: Agent 47" is one to miss

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I'm fond of regaling my employees with a particular story about my brother every once in a while. He's a gamer and a big fan of sci-fi, too. Back in 2007 we went over to the E a s t A l t o n m o v i e t h e a t re a n d watc h e d " H i t ma n" , t h e s h o o t ' e m - u p t h a t s t a r r e d Ti m o t h y Olyphant as a bald assassin.

When the punk kids a row or two in front of us wouldn't quiet down at the show's start, my brother - a talented and functioning member of society with a wife and child - leaned over and said something so harsh and intimidating that I blushed and the kids shut up. What would our mother say? Probably nothing, given

h i s s h o r t - t e m p e re d a p p ro a c h to frustrations throughout our adolescence. I get a lot of mileage out of this anecdote, but it's more timely now with a "Hitman" reboot in the market, something titled "Agent 47." I've only got so many stories after all.

Agent 47 (Rupert Friend replaces Olyphant) is a bioengineered killer that has a unique skill set and he always delivers on a contract. And now you have the basic idea of what this one-note film is all about. It's a scream of bullets and blood splatter set to an electronica score that's nothing more than an opportunity for guys to trick their wives into letting them pick the movie for a change. 47 has to protect an asset named Katia van Dees

(Hannah Ware) throughout the movie, but we can only guess what his motivations in doing so are. Together they spend a sizable chuck of time looking for her father (Ciaran Hinds) who is the scientist responsible for 47's A g e n t P ro g r a m ' s o r i g i n a t i o n .

He might also be using her to get close to Le Clerq (Thomas Kretschmann), Katia's father's enemy and the head of a terrorist organization referred to as The Syndicate that wishes to end The Agent Program. "Hitman" does nothing well if not creating its own vast universe of self-importance. Most great franchises do that, but this one is far more hollow than why I should care about, say, Sauron's genesis of the One Ring and how it came to pass unto Frodo over the years.

That Friend stars on Showtime's "Homeland" came as a surprise to me. I didn't feel that his role as 47 showed him to have any particular talent, but I also gave up on that Emmy-winning series after its ballyhooed first season.

A fella can only take so much whining from Claire Danes in one lifetime and I reached my quota long ago. Anyway, he proves more than adequate to replace Timothy Olyphant, a greater actor who was far too busy to reprise his role while filming the final season of his great FX's series, "Justified".

How much would you guess that going to the movies is curtailed by families this time of year as school get under way? So much so that the t h re e n e w re l e a s e s t h i s w e e k and two of the three on Friday are all rated R (and are mostly

September 3, 2015

terrible).

Segmenting your audience by showing the more l i m i t i n g re s t r i c t e d t i t l e s i s a bad idea all the time, but it also leads to a couple of interesting developments: "Jurassic Wo r l d " w i l l g e t a n I M A X 3 D re-engagement; "Dope" and "Inside Out" are being doled out again for hopes of selling a few more tickets to the people that might have missed them the first time around, and independent films like "The End of the Tour" and "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" are getting a little more of the spotlight in the press. I'm good with all of that.

"Hitman: Agent 47" runs 96 minutes and is rated R for sequences of strong violence, and some language. I give this film one star out of four.

Religion Religion briefs Bible Museum to display artifacts from Holy Land under deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Museum of the Bible being built in Washington will feature ancient artifacts and treasures from the Holy Land under a new deal that ensures Israel's leading archaeological organization will have an outpost in the U.S. capital.

An agreement announced Tuesday between the museum and the Israel Antiquities Authority will bring a selection of artifacts excavated in Israel for long-term display in a top-floor gallery at the new Bible museum. The $400 million, eight-story museum is set to open near the National Mall in 2017.

The museum's founder, Hobby Lobby President Steve Green, already has collected about 40,000 objects, including rare biblical texts and artifacts, such as cuneiform tablets dating to the time of Abraham, Torah scrolls and rare printed Bibles.

Green is known for funding conservative and evangelical

causes, but organizers say the museum will present different religious viewpoints that visitors can choose from.

National Cathedral dean to step down after 3 years at church

WASHINGTON (AP) — The dean of the Washington National Cathedral says he'll retire at the end of the year.

The Rev. Gary Hall has led what's often considered the nation's church for three years. He helped balance the National Cathedral's budget after years of financial struggle and opened the church to same-sex marriages.

The 66-year-old Hall has two years left on his contract, but says the seat of the Episcopal Church is entering a new era and needs a long-term leader for a decade or more.

In a letter announcing his retirement, Hall said the cathedral will pursue a major capital campaign to increase its endowment and finish repairs from damage it sustained in an earthquake four years ago.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The mayor of Columbus, Ohio, says he supports Police Chief Kim Jacobs's decision to ban officers from wearing headscarves for religious reasons.

The Columbus Dispatch reports the issue arose when a Muslim woman who is a Somali-American left the police academy in March because of the department's rule.

Mayor Michael Coleman says the city wants to recruit immigrants to the force, but when officers go out into the community they should be seen as Columbus police officers, not Muslim police officers or members of any other religion.

Jacobs agrees that any officer responding to calls should be recognized as a Columbus officer who "doesn't turn anyone off."

Columbus has the second largest Somali population in the United States.

The Arts Artistic adventures Tickets for "Wicked" on sale now

After breaking box office records in the four previous engagements, "Wicked", Broadway’s biggest blockbuster, will return to the Fabulous Fox Theatre this holiday season from December 9 – January 3. Tickets are available online at MetroTix.com, by phone at 314-534-1111 and in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.

With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Godspell, Academy Award®-winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman (“My So Called Life,” “Once And Again” and “thirtysomething”), "Wicked", the untold story of the witches of Oz, is directed by two-time Tony® Award winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Love! Valour! Compassion!, The Vagina Monologues) and features musical staging by Tony® Award winner Wayne Cilento (Aida, The Who’s Tommy, How To Succeed…).

Based on the best-selling 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire, "Wicked", winner of over 100 international awards, including a Grammy® and three Tony® Awards, is the untold story of the witches of Oz. It is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

“We are thrilled to welcome back "Wicked" to the Fabulous Fox this holiday season,” said Fox Theatre producer Kristin Caskey. “With its powerful story and dynamic score, "Wicked" has captivated St. Louis audiences for the past ten years. It truly is a spellbinding experience you can share with the entire family.”

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. "Wicked" tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the "Wicked" Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

"Wicked" has been declared “A Cultural Phenomenon”

by Variety and “The Best Musical of the Decade” by Entertainment Weekly. Since its New York premiere over a decade ago, "Wicked" has been performed in over 100 cities in 13 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, and Mexico) and has thus far been translated into five languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Korean. The musical has grossed over $4 billion worldwide and has been seen by over 50 million people across the globe. "Wicked" currently has four productions around the world, in New York, London, a U.K. Tour, and a North American National Tour.

Grammy Award-Winning Cast recording available on Decca Broadway. For more information about "Wicked", log on to www."Wicked"themusical.com.

Fox announces Broadway Series

The Fabulous Fox Theatre is thrilled to announce its remarkable 2015–2016 U.S. Bank Broadway Series featuring five new hits that are making their St. Louis debuts. The season will open in the fall with MATILDA THE MUSICAL, winner of four 2013 Tony Awards®. Disney’s high-energy new musical NEWSIES kicks off 2016 followed by BEAUTIFUL–The Carole King Musical and the contemporary smash IF/THEN. Rounding out the season are the stunningly romantic THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and a new production of

the beloved classic, THE SOUND OF MUSIC. MATILDA THE MUSICAL | October 21 – November 1, 2015 “Welcome to the deliriously amusing, heartwarming, headspinning world of MATILDA THE MUSICAL. You won’t want to leave” says Bloomberg News. Time Magazine’s #1 Show of the Year and the winner of 50 international awards, including four Tony Awards®, MATILDA is the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages on Broadway and in London’s West End. The Wall Street Journal says, “The makers of MATILDA have done the impossible – triumphantly! It is smart, sweet, zany and stupendous fun.”

Disney’s NEWSIES | January 19 – 31, 2016 Direct from Broadway comes NEWSIES, the smash-hit, crowd-pleasing new musical from Disney. Winner of the 2012 Tony Awards® for Best Score and Best Choreography, NEWSIES has audiences and critics alike calling it “a musical worth singing about,” says The New York Times. Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it’s a high-energy explosion of song and dance you just don’t want to miss.

Based on true events, NEWSIES tells the captivating story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It’s a rousing tale about fighting for what’s right…and staying true to who you are. NEWSIES was brought to the stage by an awardwinning creative team. It features a score by Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Jack Feldman (“The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride”); a book by Harvey Fierstein (“La Cage Aux Folles”); choreography by Christopher Gattelli (“South Pacific”); and direction by Jeff Calhoun (“Big River”).

BEAUTIFUL–The Carole King Musical | February 23 – March 6, 2016 BEAUTIFUL–The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.

BEAUTIFUL features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Goffin/King and Mann/Weil, including “I Feel the Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got a Friend” and the title song.

BEAUTIFUL has St. Louis connections as its producer Paul Blake was the executive producer at The Muny for 22 years and director Marc Bruni has directed numerous Muny shows including “The Music Man” and “Legally Blonde the Musical.”

The book is by Tony Award®-nominee and Academy Award®nominated writer Douglas McGrath and choreography is by Josh Prince. BEAUTIFUL took home two 2014 Tony Awards and the 2015 Grammy® for Best Musical Theater Album.

IF/THEN | March 15 – 27, 2016 IF/THEN is a contemporary Broadway musical about living in New York today – and all the possibilities that tomorrow brings. With unforgettable songs and a deeply moving story by the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®winning creators of “Next to Normal,” this “fascinating, ambitious, and original new musical” (New York Post) simultaneously follows one woman’s two possible life

paths, painting a deeply moving portrait of the lives we lead, as well as the lives we might have led. The Toronto Star calls it “The bravest new musical in a long time. Led

by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s dazzling score, it is one of the few Broadway shows that looks and sounds like the world of today.“ “A smart, deeply touching and bighearted new musical” says The Washington Post. “Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's score is invested with melodic urgency, bringing you to tears or breathlessness.” And the Chicago Tribune calls it “A thoroughly fascinating, intellectually and musically rich new musical. It is a zesty, savvy and ambitious original.”

THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY | April 5 – 17, 2016 THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, one of the most romantic stories ever written, first captured the nation’s attention as a best-selling novel by Robert James Waller and is now an irresistible, two time Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical. This stunning new production features gorgeous, soulful music by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (“Parade,” “The Last Five Years”) that the Daily News hails as “one of Broadway’s best scores in the last decade.” With a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Marsha Norman (“The Secret Garden,” “The Color Purple”) and direction by Tony winner Bartlett Sher (“South Pacific” “The Light in the Piazza”), THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY is the unforgettable story of two people caught between decision and desire, as a chance encounter becomes a second chance at so much more.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC | April 26 – May 8, 2016 The hills are alive with the brand new production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, directed by Jack O’Brien. The spirited, romantic and beloved musical story of Maria and the Von Trapp Family will once again thrill audiences with its Tony®, Grammy® and Academy Award® - winning Best Score, including “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “Edelweiss” and the title song.

Travel Exhibit open at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry For The Edge

T

hey’re here … to help and improve our lives. The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) premiered a new national touring exhibit, Robot Revolution, supported

by Google.org with additional major support from The Boeing Company.

Robot Revolution explores how robots, created by human ingenuity, will ultimately be our companions and colleagues, changing how we play, live and work together. The exhibit allows guests to step into a visionary world where robots are not just a curiosity, but a vital asset.

The exhibit comes to life with a collection of cutting-edge robots that have been secured from some of the most innovative global robotics companies and universities. Guests have extraordinary opportunities to interact with robots that have rarely been shown to the public before.

From Yume Robo, the climbing robot that greets you at the exhibit entry while traversing up and down a ladder, to the Recon Scout® Throwbot® XT that can literally be thrown into a dangerous situation to collect vital information— guests will be awed by the breakthroughs and capabilities of these machines.

“Robotics is a truly fascinating field—and it’s one that is growing exponentially,” said David Mosena, president and CEO of the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. “This exhibit, in a fun and engaging way, helps answer questions like: How do robots work? How will they potentially change our lives? How can I get involved in robotics? We are thrilled to bring this cutting-edge content to MSI and to tour it to other science museums around the nation.”

MSI’s Robot Revolution exhibit development team worked with a renowned group of robotics experts to offer insight on exhibit content. This team of advisors includes lead advisor Dr. Henrik I. Christensen, KUKA Chair of Robotics at the College of Computing of Georgia Institute of Technology and executive director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, as well as Dr. Dennis Hong, professor and founding director of RoMeLa (Robotics & Mechanisms Laboratory) of the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA. The exhibit features four areas that delve into various aspects of robotics and offer specific handson activities with amazing robot specimens, as well as dynamic videos that feature Dr. Hong.

Areas include: Cooperation: Discover how engineering breakthroughs are helping create robots that can work with humans effectively to enhance our lives.

Travel

For The Edge On Saturday, Sept. 12, the skies above the Lake of the Ozarks will come alive with highflying action during the Lake of the Ozarks Air Show at Camdenton Memorial Airport, 20 Airport Drive just outside of Camdenton.

This free air show honors veterans and active military members, as well as providing a fun and entertaining end-of-summer activity for the community and visitors.

"The Lake of the Ozarks Air Show is an exciting event that will undoubtedly be an awesome experience for everyone who attends," says Tim Jacobsen, executive director of the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau. "We're really proud to offer this great air show that will delight audiences and honor our military heroes, too. The generosity of our sponsors ensures we can continue this fine tradition."

Spectators will enjoy thrilling aviation acts, which include aerobatics by Jeff Shetterly's Radial Rumble, Franklin's Flying Circus' demon bi-plane, Dracula; stunt flying by Team Vortex, G&M Airshows; and performances by the KC Flight Formation Team. To add to the entertainment, Kenny Carroll will be racing aerobatic planes across the tarmac in his 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and there will be multiple Ping-Pong ball drops and remote controlled airplanes as well, which are always a favorite among the children in attendance.

On Friday, Sept. 11, free flights for veterans are once again being offered in a B-25J Mitchell WWII bomber. Organizers say this is another way of thanking those who have served in the armed forces.

On Saturday morning, from 7:30 until 9:30 a.m., there will be a pancake breakfast to honor local military members at Hangar D. The opening ceremonies for the event take place at 10 a.m., as the Zack Wheat American Legion Post 624 will present the colors followed by a performance by Main Street Opry and LOZ Dance Academy at 10:05 a.m. The national anthem will be performed at 10:30 a.m. by Melissa Carroll. Shortly thereafter, all the high-flying action really takes off and continues throughout the day until 3:30 p.m. when all flights at the airport resume. There will also be a meet and greet with the aerial performers from 6-10 p.m. at

Captain Ron's Bar & Grill, 82 Aloha Lane in Sunrise Beach, to officially bring the actionpacked day to a close.

The KC Flight Formation Team paints the sky red, white and blue above spectators during the 2014 Air Show.

When the Lake of the Ozarks Air Show first started five years ago, there were only 4,000 people in attendance. Since then, it has been breaking attendance records every year, with last year's show drawing crowds well above 14,000 spectators. "The Air Show gets

better every year as the organizers add more and more cool acts to the lineup," Jacobsen elaborates. "People are always very impressed.

They go away talking about how much fun they had, and because of that, it keeps growing in popularity."

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets. Local civic organizations will set up vendor booths to sell food and drinks during the show, therefore, no outside food or beverages will be allowed.

Proceeds from the vendor booth sales will

be reinvested into the air show and local community projects, making the show a benefit to the Camdenton community in many ways.

Free parking will be available in parking lots at the Camdenton RIII schools. There will be a free shuttle running from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to transport attendees to and from their vehicles. Parking also is available at the Camdenton Memorial Airport for a fee of $10.

The event is made possible by collaboration among the City of Camdenton, the Camdenton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Camdenton Memorial Airport, the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau and many other local sponsors.

t is a masterwork, a tour de force, the challenge of a musical lifetime.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Ciaconna for Violin Solo in d-minor” is widely considered among the most brilliant, influential and technically demanding works in the violin repertoire.

Even the greatest virtuosos can spend years — indeed, entire careers — exploring its intricacies and complexities.

At 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, Isabel Trautwein, violinist for the Cleveland Orchestra, will launch the fall Danforth University Center Chamber Music Series. She will perform Bach’s Ciaconna, along with works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms, in the Goldberg Formal Lounge.

Born in Huntsville, Ala., Trautwein was raised in the United States and Germany. She began studying violin at age 5 and later served as a member of both the European Community Youth Orchestra and the German National Youth Orchestra.

Prior to joining the Cleveland Orchestra, in 2002, she was principal second violinist of the St. Louis Symphony, concertmaster of the New World Symphony in Miami, and a member of the Houston Symphony and the Naumburg Award-winning Pacifica String Quartet.

Accompanying Trautwein will be pianist Patti Wolf, who regularly appears with the St. Louis Symphony, the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis and the Chautauqua Symphony in New York.

A former visiting professor in Washington University’s Department of Music in Arts & Sciences, Wolf trained at the St. Louis Conservatory before earning degrees at the Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music. She maintains an active private studio.

Music Tuning in McDonald to appear at The Fox

Michael McDonald will bring his This Christmas, An Evening of Holiday & Hits Tour to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Saturday, November 28 at 8:00 p.m. The night will include some of his hits as well as holiday favorites that will surely put you in the spirit.

Tickets are $125, $95, $80, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times.

To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades.

From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highlyacclaimed Motown albums, genrebusting guest spots and innovative concept shows, the five-time Grammy Award winning McDonald is both timeless and ever-evolving.

Beyond his music, McDonald has long been an active humanitarian.

He has lent his talents and energies to many causes and benefits, including MusiCares, the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and was part of a star-studded lineup at Kokua For Japan, a concert that raised $1.6 million for tsunami relief.

After moving from his hometown of St. Louis to Los Angeles in the early ‘70s, McDonald honed his talent as a session musician and singer before being invited to join Steely Dan. Over the course of four classic albums, from Katy Lied to Gaucho, McDonald became an integral part of the group’s sound, singing background vocals on FM staples like “Black Friday” and “Peg.” In the mid-‘70s, McDonald joined The Doobie Brothers, helping the band redefine their funky R & B sound as a singer, keyboardist and songwriter on such Top 40 singles as “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “It Keeps You Runnin’,” “Minute By Minute” and “What A Fool Believes.”

His distinct vocal style also made him one of the world’s most soughtafter session singers. Beyond his hits with The Doobies, McDonald has lent his voice to records by an A-Z of artists, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Vince Gill and Grizzly Bear. During the ‘80s and ‘90s, his solo career zoomed from success to success on the wings of evergreen hits like “Sweet Freedom,” “On My Own” (a duet with Patti LaBelle) and the Grammy-winning duet with James Ingram “Yah Mo B There.”

Continuing to explore new vistas, McDonald released his Grammynominated, platinum-selling pair of Motown albums in 2003. Then in 2005, he partnered with Hallmark for a special Christmas album, Through The Many Winters, which sold 500,000 copies in its first two weeks.

In 2008 McDonald released the acclaimed crossover album Soul Speak (which hit three different charts simultaneously), and in 2011 received an honorary doctorate from Berklee School of Music. Recently he and co- horts Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs an 11-piece soul supergroup who tour as The Dukes

Of September, released their first live DVD. McDonald continues to tour extensively as a solo artist, with symphonies, altruistic events and plans to tour this summer with Toto.

With a career that encompasses five Grammys, numerous chart successes, personal and professional accolades, as well as collaborations with some of the world’s most prominent artists, Michael McDonald remains an enduring force in popular music.

Celebrating his 59th year in the music industry, Johnny Mathis is Columbia Records longest-running artist. A sublime vocalist whose approach to pop music eclipses passing fads and trends, Mathis has performed songs in an incredible variety of styles and categories -from music composed for stage and film to golden era jazz standards, contemporary pop hits, and holiday music, all of which has assured his reputation as one of the most enduring vocalists in music history.

Best-known for his supremely popular hits like “Chances Are," "It's Not For Me To Say," and "Misty”, Mathis has recorded more than 80 albums, 6 Christmas albums, and has sold millions of records worldwide. During his extensive career he has had 3 songs inducted

into the Grammy Hall of Fame, achieved 50 Hits on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Chart, and ranks as the all-time #6 album artist in the history of Billboard’s pop album charts. He has received 5 Grammy Nominations, and in 2003 he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Sheldon to welcome Iris DeMent

The Sheldon is pleased to announce the return of Iris D e M e n t , S u n d a y, N o v e m b e r 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. Singer/songwriter Iris DeMent returns to The Sheldon, performing music from her new release, The Trackless Woods, an album that sets Russian poet Anna Akhmatova’s words to music.

Born in Arkansas and raised in Southern California, Iris DeMent grew up immersed in gospel and traditional country music. A late bloomer as an artist - she wrote her first song at the age of 25 her first release, Infamous Angel, immediately established her as a promising and talented artist.

Her follow-up recordings, My Life and The Way I Should, were each nominated for a Grammy.

Several of DeMent’s songs have become cultural touchstones including “Let The Mystery Be,” sung as a duet by David Byrne and Natalie Merchant on MTV Unplugged, and “Our Town,” which was played over the farewell scene in the series finale of Northern Exposure. She has recorded and performed with artists such as Ralph Stanley, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Merle Haggard, and sang four duets with John Prine on In Spite of Ourselves. In 2004, she recorded an album of gospel songs, Lifeline, which included her rendition of

“Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” which the Coen Brothers chose for the closing credits for their 2012 remake of the classic western True Grit.

Tickets are $35 orchestra/$30 balcony. Call MetroTix at 314-5341111 or visit TheSheldon.org.

The Sheldon to host The Lone Bellow

The Sheldon and KDHX a re p l e a s e d t o w e l c o m e T h e Lone Bellow with special guest A n d e r s o n E a s t , We d n e s d a y, October 21 at 8 p.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. The concert is part of The Sheldon Sessions series, an on-going collaboration between The Sheldon and KDHX. Southern-born, Brooklyn-based indie-folk trio the Lone Bellow has earned critical and popular acclaim for a sound that mixes folk sincerity, gospel fervor and even heavy metal thunder. But, the heart of the band is harmony: three voices united in a lone bellow. The group has opened for the Civil Wars, Dwight Yokam, Br andi Car lile an d th e Avett Brothers, and their self-titled debut, produced by Nashville’s Charlie Peacock (the Civil Wars, Holly Williams) and released in January 2013, established them as one of the boldest new acts in the Americana movement. Their latest album, Then Came the Morning, produced by The National guitarist Aaron Dessner, contains some of their most emotional music to date, with most of the vocals recorded in single takes.

Concert only tickets are $22 o r c h e s t r a / $ 2 0 b a l c o n y. C a l l MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or visit TheSheldon.org.

which wasn't dry like the brisket and ribs. It was a thick and juicy

slab of ham.

Now when we got to our sides it

As I've continued writing “You Gotta Eat� I've began to get recommendations from people on places to eat, so when I have the chance I try to oblige the readers.

Recently while I was in Kansas City I had that opportunity by visiting Bates City Bar-B-Que in Bates City, Mo. Roughly 30 miles east of Kansas City on I-70, you will find Bates City and at 201East Market St. you will discover Bates City Bar-B-Que, established in 1976.

As Kansas City is synonymous with barbecue, I thought Bates City would give my dad and I an opportunity to check out a spot off the beaten path of the city joints.

We showed up in the early evening on a Saturday at the small homey locale, but I'm hoping we didn't get the best Bates City has to offer because I was a little disappointed.

I'm giving Bates City the benefit of the doubt because they committed a barbecue sin while I was there. They must have overshot how much food to make for the day, which is a no no in the barbecue industry. It's better to run out than make to much because you risk the integrity of your food.

I ordered a plate of burnt ends, which I was excited to try, but quickly tempered my enthusiasm when the girl behind the counter popped my plate in the microwave.

As I sat down to try them I found that they were pretty dried out and kind of chewy, proving they had been sitting around for quite awhile.

Dad went with brisket, ham and ribs and had the some complaint over his brisket and ribs. He raved about the taste of the ham though,

was a different story. I went with the homemade beans which were

phenomenal. They had a rich and hearty taste and were some of the better I've had at a barbecue restaurant. I would recommend them to anyone. They were actually pretty sweet.

Dad ordered a side of French fries. They were thicker cut fries with the skin still on and had a sensational taste. You could tell they were freshly cut.

With the creativity and attention to detail with the sides, I give Bates City the benefit of the doubt that I just attended on the wrong day for the barbecue. But making a barbecue faux pas like they did on my visit could ultimately hurt the business unfortunately.

Perusing the rest of the menu, there were some great choices.

The Tommy Boy on the sandwich portion of the menu, which consists of beef, pork, turkey, ham and sausage looks intriguing.

Check out the Shawnee Southern, a pulled pork sandwich with homemade slaw on it.

T h e re a re a l s o t h e h i c k o r y smoked ribs, beef, pork, turkey sausage and ham.

As for sides, besides the fries and beans, there is homemade slaw and potato salad, pickle spears and hot jalapenos available.

Bates City also offers lunch specials and a full catering menu for patrons that don't want to dine in. Price-wise it wasn't bad, dad and I ate for around $20 for the two of us.

Bates City is a small, country town located on I-70, so enjoyed the simple ambiance. It came well recommended, so if you're ever down that way, swing through and give it a shot. They also have a second location is Shawnee, Kan. and they've been around for nearly 40 years, so Bates City must be doing something right.
