Ill., the city nicknamed the “Most Haunted Small Town in America,” is so haunted? Come on aboard one of the three haunted evening cruises on the Mississippi River this October to hear the ghoulish stories of Alton.

A sorted past of murder, war, death and destruction has led to Alton’s haunted present. Through the years, many travelers have investigated and inquired about the unexplained happenings and psychic phenomena found throughout Alton. Several locations that are noted to be extremely haunted, including the infamous McPike Mansion and Milton School, have been featured on television shows on the Travel Channel and Syfy Channel.

The newest haunted tour offered this year is a cruise on a 49-passenger excursion boat from Grafton River Adventures. This ghostly tour will last 90 minutes with a tour guide from Alton Haunted Odyssey pointing out haunted locations along the Mississippi River and providing details as to what makes Alton so haunted. Stories include traumatic events such as the murder of Elijah Lovejoy, the city being the home of the old prison that housed thousands of Confederate soldiers, Alton’s ties to Al Capone’s boat and more.

For The Edge

Bishop Thomas Paprocki stands with students outside Father McGivney Catholic High School.

Father McGivney glows as it grows

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

F

ather McGivney Catholic High School has nearly doubled its enrollment in just its second year of operation. FMCHS welcomed 32 freshmen when it opened its doors for the 2013-14 school year a few weeks ago.

Located in a dedicated wing of St. John Neumann Catholic School in Maryville, FMCHS has a total of 52 students enrolled, 19 of which are sophomores who were part of the school’s inaugural freshman class last year.

“It doesn’t sound like a lot to the average school, but to us, it’s great,” FMCHS Principal Mike Scholz said about the 2013-14 total enrollment.

“Our sophomore class was just awesome as freshman,” Scholz said. “We called them the pioneers. But this freshman class that we have this year is just as dynamic.”

Scholz explained that the current freshman class comes from 10 different areas including towns such as Staunton, Highland, Granite City, Belleville, Collinsville and Edwardsville.

“And not all of them are coming from the Catholic grade schools. Some are coming from public grade schools – some from home instruction. So it’s very diverse in terms of what they bring, but they are very, very strong, good kids – just nice people,” he emphasized.

If the school continues to double in size, as is the goal, FMCHS will be more than ready to move into its own building. “Next year if we have 50 more freshmen, we’re going to have to be creative in what we do,” Scholz said with a chuckle.

The school’s plan is for its current sophomore class to graduate from a yet-to-

be-built high school which is planned to be erected on a piece of land just north of Route 162 on Old Troy Rd. in Glen Carbon. “So right now we’re moving ahead with those plans,” Scholz said. “We know it takes somewhere between 20 and 27 months to build so we’re in that ball park.”

Scholz pointed out that FMCHS does things “a little bit different” than other schools. “We don’t have any textbooks. We’re all laptops.

Kids love it. That’s the way kids today learn,” he said.

Father Jeff Goeckner, Dean of the Alton Deanery, who also has sat on the FMCHS board since his arrival to the area in 2007, also noted the school’s advanced use of technology.

“With our technology - we can compete with most colleges or universities on the technology side,” Father Jeff said. “When these kids head off to college, they are going to already be well advanced in the technology and probably advance even more.”

Father Jeff, who is also Pastor at St. Boniface Church, noted that St. Boniface Catholic School was currently exploring the possibility to follow FMCHS’s lead to transition its upper level students to using laptops or iPads for its textbooks.

FMCHS is named after Father McGivney, who started the Knights of Columbus which emphasizes charity and giving back. “Our kids do community service. We have retreats – faith is a very, very important part of what we do. We have great support from the parishes and priests, and the community has been tremendously supportive,” Scholz said.

FMCHS also has small class sizes. “I believe that’s the way kids achieve - you have great teachers and small classes,” Scholz added.

FMCHS uses the “house model” where students are assigned to a house as a freshman and they stay in the same house for four years. “So in four years the house will be

made up of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen,” Scholz explained. “Our idea is that the older students will be able to help mentor the younger students. The students will stay with the same teacher for four years and the teacher will get to know those students – their strengths, their weakness and if there’s an issue. Being a teenager is difficult.

Our teachers do a great job with them. We’ve got a super staff and they are very close.”

Students at FMCHS also wear uniforms.

“On Mass day they wear shirts and ties – they look great,” Scholz said.

The school continues to expand its curriculum each year. For the 2013-14 school year it added art, fine arts and vocal/ instrumental music. “We have everything that a conventional high school has – everything,” Scholz emphasized.

The school’s first sports, boys’ and girls’ soccer as well as boys’ and girls’ basketball, were also added this year, and the school has plans to add more sports programs as the school grows. “We have some super coaches. Our soccer coach played college soccer. Our girls’ basketball coach coached the team that finished second at state last year in Champaign and our boys’ basketball coach played division one basketball at University of Illinois and Illinois State University so we’ve got some really credentialed teachers and coaches,” Scholz said.

Scholz also emphasized that one aspect of FMCHS that is extremely important to them is that they are a family. “We have activities for the entire family. We had a cookout to start the year, and it was for the whole family – all the siblings, the parents and the student.

We believe very, very strongly in the whole family,” he said. “I know all of our parents personally, and all of our teachers know all the parents. That will always stay the same.”

Scholz credited the school’s success to the

community’s support and his talented team.

“It’s a true team effort here with our teachers.

David Michael is kind of our recruiting guy.

And Emily Joellenbeck, Bobbie Madura, and Henry Johnson – we all work as a team. To recruit the kids – we visit the kids, we talk to the parents – we worked hard at it, but it’s been fun. And I think we’re seeing some of the benefits,” he said.

Beginning in October, FMCHS will again offer shadow days where eighth grade students can spend an entire day at FMCHS with another FMCHS student to get an idea of what it’s like to be a Griffin for a day. Anyone interested in FMCHS or the shadow days is encouraged to call the school office at 8559010. “And when they shadow, they typically enroll,” Father Jeff pointed out.

FMCHS updates its Facebook page and website (www.mcgivneygriffins.com) with school happenings, and it produces a weekly newsletter that interested parents can have sent to them via email. Simply contact the office and ask to be included to the newsletter mailing list.

“I think there’s quality education in the Edwardsville-Glen Carbon-Maryville area – both in public schools and Catholic and private schools. We are just pleased to be able to be at that level as well in offering another option, but this option is Catholic education,” Father Jeff said. ”I applaud the efforts of the community. It’s been a long road and a lot of work, but I think we’re already seeing the results of that hard work by people opening themselves up to at least taking the time to investigate it.”

“I truly feel that our faculty and myself feel blessed that we’re in this position,” Scholz added about the school’s success. “We’re just working hard to make sure the school continues to grow. We’re very proud of our school.”

People People planner Trans-Siberian Orchestra to perform in St. Louis Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will celebrate their first 15 years of touring with an encore and final performance of their multiplatinum rock opera, "The Lost Christmas Eve." TSO’s 2013 Winter Tour will begin on November 13th, playing over 100 shows in 67 cities across North America, presented by Hallmark Channel.

Live Nation is proud to welcome TSO when they return to Saint Louis for two spectacular shows at Scottrade Center on Monday, December 23 at 3:00pm and 7:30pm.

Tickets are on sale now.

TSO, whose phenomena has grown year after year, has played over 1,500 shows for more than 10 million fans in the past fifteen years, and quietly became one of the world’s biggest arena rock acts. The unprecedented fan driven growth is a testament to TSO founder Paul O’Neill’s vision of "Rock Theater," the perfect amalgamation of Broadway storytelling with the spectacle of rock, delighting audiences of all ages year after year.

For one final year, audiences will get to experience the modern Charles Dickens-like classic, "The Lost Christmas Eve." Following the 2012 premiere of this acclaimed rock opera, critics were raving, calling it "…a must see for any music lover" , "…a rock ‘n’ roll holiday celebration worth seeing !" and an "unrivaled spectacle of sight and sound." "The Lost Christmas Eve" features a diverse soundtrack fusing elements of rock, classical, folk, R&B, and theatrical-styled music, with the story taking you on a journey into the "Capraesque" world of TSO creator / producer, Paul O’Neill.

The critically acclaimed rock opera encompasses a rundown hotel, an old toy store, a blues bar, a Gothic cathedral, and their respective inhabitants all intertwined during a single enchanted Christmas Eve in New York City. "The Lost Christmas Eve", performed in its entirety for the final time, will feature the hit single "Wizards in Winter" as well as

longtime crowd favorites, "Christmas Nights in Blue" and "Siberian Sleigh Ride." It will be followed by songs from last years EP release from Lava/Republic, "Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night)", classics from TSO's debut album, "Christmas Eve & Other Stories" and the rest of the heralded catalogue of rock operas.

While off the road, TSO is constantly stockpiling new projects in their Rock Theater arsenal, including the rock operas "Gutter Ballet and the New York City Blues Express," "Letters from the Labyrinth" and "Romanov: When Kings Must Whisper", an epic story set amidst the Bolshevik Revolution.

Since their debut in 1996, TSO has defied the rules of an ever-changing music industry being regarded as a mix of The Who’s "Tommy", Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musicals, and Pink Floyd’s expansive light show.. Year after year, the group has ranked in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and attendance, according to Pollstar magazine. Having played live to over one million fans each year TSO saw a 15% increase in sales alone in 2012, transforming them into a year round tradition that’s here to stay.

The society, which supports the work of the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, hopes to lift its membership above 1,000 for the first time in its history.

"Annual membership dues provide the society with a major source of unrestricted revenue that can cover day-to-day needs as well as pay for special projects at Cahokia Mounds, such as research, land acquisition, professional development and educational programs,” said Lori Belknap, executive director of the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society.

Cahokia Mounds, which has been declared a World Heritage Site

by UNESCO, was once the heart of the sprawling Mississippian Culture. Thousands of people lived, traded and worshipped among the mounds.

The Museum Society is offering all new members, and current members who upgrade their status, an opportunity to win one of two signed prints of Bill Iseminger ’s painting “Mighty Cahokia,” a $100 Gift Shop certificate or a handmade serving dish signed by Native American artist Mel Cornshucker.

Members receive the quarterly Cahokian newsletter, a 10% discount in the Museum Gift Shop and the opportunity to participate in the Summer Field School free of charge.

Founded in 1976, the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society’s mission is to promote the educational and scientific aspects of the historic site, and to support activities that preserve, develop or interpret Cahokia Mounds.

“CMMS members know they are part of a growing community of people who value the cultural preservation of this pivotal place in America’s history,” Belknap said.

Cahokia Mounds is just eight miles from St. Louis, in Collinsville, Illinois, off Interstates 55/70 (Exit 6) and I-255 (Exit 24) on Collinsville Road. For details and hours, call 618-346-5160 or go to www. cahokiamounds.org.

• International Space Station is Tuesday, Nov. 19. Humans have made space the final frontier.

This meeting will discuss the thrills, chills and shrills of being in space. The rigors of space have mostly become routine thanks to international cooperation; however, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano found that life in space can be full of hazards.

• Mars Exploration is Tuesday, Dec. 3. Humans have built a space station and have an itching to explore and colonize space. This meeting will describe the next place we may call home, our nearest superior planet, Mars, and the robotic explorers sent there.

Discover plans to send humans to Mars in the next few decades and the need to first explore the surface for water – a necessity of life.

Learn about the two active rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity, which are currently exploring different parts of Mars in search of water and life.

MoBOT hosts Terra Circus exhibit Join the Garden in welcoming the work of acclaimed photographer, Caren Alpert to the Missouri Botanical Garden September 6 through November 22 for her exhibit entitled “terra cibus.”

The San Francisco-based fine art and commercial photographer combines her love for photography, food and art in photos taken with an electron microscope. Alpert captures

the microscopic, almost otherworldly surfaces of common foods such as Oreo cookies, shrimp, leaves and candy, turning what might normally be a scientific endeavor into fine art.

Caren Alpert's Pineapple Leaf “Photographs taken with electron m i c ro s c o p e s h a v e s e i z e d m y interest because of their mystery and simultaneous familiarity. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way. The closer the lens got, the more I saw food - and consumers of food - as part of a larger ecosystem,” stated Alpert.

The exhibit assists in bringing attention to the International Year of Food and the Garden’s “Foodology: Dig In” theme for 2013.

The “terra cibus” exhibit will be shown in Monsanto Hall of the Ridgway Center and is included with Missouri Botanical Garden admission of $8 for adults and free for children ages 12 and under. St. Louis City and County residents enjoy discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon. Missouri Botanical Garden members are free.

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

Lewis Black returning to St. Louis Live Nation welcomes Lewis Black to the Peabody Opera House on Friday, October 4 at 8PM. Lewis Black, Grammy Awardwinning stand-up comedian,

is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, a c t o r a n d a u t h o r. R e c e i v i n g critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple re n o w n e d t h e a t re s i n c l u d i n g Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New Yo r k C i t y C e n t e r, t h e M a i n Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas a n d m o s t re c e n t l y a s o l d o u t B ro a d w a y ru n a t t h e R i c h a rd Rodgers Theatre in NYC. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience.

He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon.

L e w i s i s t h e r a re c o m i c w h o can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.

Lewis Black came into national prominence with his appearances on THE DAILY SHOW in 1996.

Those appearances on "The Daily Show" led to comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and Epix. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards.

He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 Grammy Award-winning "The Carnegie Hall Performance."

Lewis Black won his second Grammy Award for his album "Stark Raving Black." Lewis has published three bestselling books, Nothing’s Sacred (Simon &

Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).

Haunted cruises offered in Alton for the Halloween season Have you ever wanted to know why Alton, Ill., the city nicknamed the “Most Haunted Small Town in America,” is so haunted? Come on aboard one of the three haunted evening cruises on the Mississippi River this October to hear the ghoulish stories of Alton.

A sorted past of murder, war, death and destruction has led to Alton’s haunted present. Through the years, many travelers have investigated and inquired about the unexplained happenings and psychic phenomena found throughout Alton. Several locations that are noted to be extremely haunted, including the infamous McPike Mansion and Milton School, have been featured on television shows on the Travel Channel and Syfy Channel.

The newest haunted tour offered this year is a cruise on a 49-passenger excursion boat from Grafton River Adventures. This ghostly tour will last 90 minutes with a tour guide from Alton Haunted Odyssey pointing out haunted locations along the Mississippi River and providing details as to what makes Alton so haunted. Stories include traumatic events such as the murder of Elijah Lovejoy, the city being the home of the old prison that housed thousands of Confederate soldiers, Alton’s ties to Al Capone’s boat and more.

For more information on the haunted cruises or haunted Alton, please see the attached releases. For photos associated with the events or to arrange interviews with event organizers, please contact me at (618) 4650491.

Spanning three millenia, much of the repertoire is comprised of musical settings of the works of ancient Greek poets and tragedians.

As examples of the latter, the Chamber Chorus will perform a chilling version of “Seven Choruses from Euripides's M e d e a ” c o m p o s e d b y Vi r g i l Thomson. Also, choral odes

by Sophocles, written for “Antigone,” are given new life in commissions by Ned Rorem and Sasha Johnson Manning; each using an English translation by the Chorus's artistic director, Philip Barnes.

One focus of the concert will be the poetic legacy of Sappho.

Her verse will be heard in a r r a n g e m e n t s b y N e d R o re m and Ildebrando Pizzetti, while Australian composer Clare Maclean offers a contemporary setting of Sappho's original ancient Greek lyrics. Maclean's work will be complemented by that of another Australian.

Gordon Kerry's “Sappho's R e p l y, ” w i t h w o r d s b y R i t a Mae Brown, will receive its US premiere at this concert. The program will conclude with the Chamber Chorus performing a set of relatively recent Greek folk songs arranged by Sir Arnold Bax. In addition to the concert itself, there will be a pre-concert discussion of Greek poetry w i t h P ro f e s s o r C a r l S p r i n g e r of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and Chamber Chorus artistic director Philip Barnes. The discussion will begin at 2:30 P.M. and is free to all ticket holders.

The long-time Lebanon, Illinois resident and world-renowned vocalist will instead be in Chicago.

The concerts including Les Illuminations will not be reprogrammed; tenor Andrew Kennedy is now scheduled to perform the piece with the St. Louis Symphony. Kennedy last performed with the St. Louis Symphony in October of 2010, when he sang Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.

“Sometimes in this business, I wish I could be in two places at once, and it happened to me for the 2013/14 season,” says Brewer.

Having sung that role as a student at Shawnee High School in Wolf Lake, Illinois and directed the show when I taught music in Marissa, Illinois, I have a deep connection to the role of that classic piece. I was torn, as I never dreamed I'd actually have another chance to sing the role of the Mother Abbess, but David Robertson gratefully understood and supported taking the opportunity. I am extremely sad not to be singing with my hometown orchestra this coming season.

Music Tuning in Vieaux to open St. Louis Classical Guitar Society season On Saturday, September 28th at 8pm, guitarist Jason Vieaux will perform the opening concert of the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society’s 50th anniversary season at the Ethical Society of St. Louis (9001 Clayton Rd). The St. Louis Classical Guitar Society was established in 1963 and has been presenting the finest guitarists and ensembles with guitar to St. Louis audiences since th e mid -197 0's . It is t he second-oldest guitar society in the United States. Appropriately, Vi e a u x ’ s p e r f o r m a n c e w i l l feature Benjamin Britten’s Nocturnal, which was written the same year that the society w a s f o u n d e d , 1 9 6 3 . Vi e a u x ’ s diverse program will also include Isaac Albéniz’s Sevilla, J.S. Bach’s Lute Suite No. 1 in E Minor, Paulo Bellinati’s Jongo, D a n Vi s c o n t i ’ s D e v i l ’ s S t ru m , Pat Metheny’s The Bat, and Jose Luis Merlin’s Suite del Recuerdo.

In 2003, Vieaux’s CD, “Sevilla: The Music of Isaac Albeniz” made several top ten lists of the year.

This will be the Missouri p r e m i e r e o f D a n Vi s c o n t i ’ s Devil’s Strum which was w r i t t e n f o r J a s o n Vi e a u x . O f Devil’s Strum, Visconti states, “One of the defining myths surrounding American blues guitar playing is about a pact with the supernatural. In one such account, a man meets the Devil at the lonely crossroads in the dead of night, and strikes a bargain: in exchange for inhuman ability and charisma as a guitarist, the man need only sign over his eternal soul.

The central moment in several versions of the myth is when the Devil tunes up the doomed man's guitar – the moment when the strings become awakened with unseen power and the man's fate is sealed. My new work for guitarist Jason Vieaux begins at just this moment –the moment of the Devil's long fingers strumming the jangly strings.”

Jason Vieaux, "among the elite of today's classical guitarists" (Gramophone), is the classical guitarist that goes beyond the classical. He has earned a reputation for putting his expressive gifts and virtuosity at the service of a remarkably wide range of music, and his schedule o f re c i t a l , c o n c e r t o , c h a m b e r music, teaching and recording commitments is distinguished with return engagements throughout the U.S. and abroad.

This y e a r, Vieaux’s performance invitations have included returns to the Caramoor Festival, New Yo r k ’ s 9 2 n d S t re e t Y “ G u i t a r Marathon”, the Elgin Symphony and others. Numerous highlights for 2012-2013 included concertos with the symphonies of Houston, Toronto, Spokane, Augusta (GA) and Silicon Valley, a performance of the Lukas Foss Concerto for the New Hampshire Music Festival, duo recitals with acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and accordion/ bandoneon virtuoso Julien

Labro, solo recitals in Austin, at the Mannes School of Music and California’s La Guitarra Festival, and another Curtis O n To u r s o j o u r n , t h i s t i m e t o South America. In May 2012, the Ja so n Vieaux Guitar Academy was launched in partnership w i t h A r t i s t Wo r k s I n c . , a n unprecedented technological interface that provides a oneon-one online study exchange b e t w e e n Vi e a u x a n d g u i t a r students around the world.

by Gramophone, The Absolute Sound, and Soundboard. Images of Metheny features music

by American jazz legend Pat Metheny, who, after hearing this landmark recording, declared: "I am flattered to be included in Jason's musical world."

Vi e a u x ' s albums and live performances a re re g u l a r l y h e a rd o n r a d i o stations across the country, and his work is the subject of feature articles in print and online a ro u n d t h e w o r l d e v e r y y e a r, including in such magazines as Acoustic Guitar, MUSO, and Gramophone, and on NPR’s “Deceptive Cadence” music blog.

Jason Vieaux has performed as concerto soloist with over 50 orchestras, including Cleveland, San Diego, Ft. Worth, Santa Fe, Charlotte, Buffalo, Grand Rapids, KitchenerWa t e r l o o , R i c h m o n d , I R I S Chamber, Chautauqua Festival, and Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.

Some of the conductors he has worked recently include

David Robertson, Michael Stern, Jahja Ling, Miguel HarthBedoya, Stefan Sanderling, David Lockington, Andrew Constantine, Steven Smith, and Edwin Outwater.

Religion Amish adapt to Ohio weather events MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some scientists call it global warming, others prefer the more comprehensive phrase "climate change." Some people harbor little doubt that it's happening, others are just as certain that it isn't.

There's no doubt, however, that extreme precipitation events, from drought to excessive rainfall, have become commonplace in Ohio over recent years, challenging agricultural producers from large corporate operations to small-scale Amish farms.

"Not everybody, in agriculture, industry or government, agrees on what is happening.

But they're finding that they have to address adverse weather conditions," said Dale Arnold, director of energy policy for the Ohio Farm Bureau.

While Amish communities in Ohio have a well-established reputation for resisting change on a variety of levels, they are adapting some of the same new agricultural practices as their English neighbors as they strive to remain productive and viable.

At the same time, because of their conservative beliefs, as well as other logistical considerations, they may have issues with certain technologies that others may not.

"The Amish do what they can on a small scale. If something requires a lot of dollars to adopt, that's a problem for them. Technology

that requires large outlays is problematic.

They don't have thousands of acres to spread the cost of the technology," said Dean Slates, a program assistant for the Holmes County Soil and Water Conservation District and a retired extension agent.

"Their power requirements for technology are limited to what a horse can do."

With an estimated population of 63,990, 474 church districts and 54 settlements as of 2012, Ohio is home to more Amish than any other state, according to the book "The Amish,"

by Donald B. Kraybill, Karen M. JohnsonWeiner and Steven M. Nolt and published this summer by The Johns Hopkins University Press.

Today's new environmental challenges are the same for every farmer in the state, however, whether they're Amish or English.

"Keeping water in the soil in is the focus," said Arnold, who also is a member of the Ohio Climate Change Dialogue Group. "In any 10year period, you're going to have two to three summers of drought followed by one to two extremely wet years."

"Nature doesn't like extremes, it prefers a constant. Soils around here are very protective of water if that water is forced to take a tortuous path through the soil. The soil will filter and remove any contaminants," Mark

Wilson, president of Land Stewards LLC, an agronomic and environmental services group in Marion, said.

"It's important to talk about drainage not as a drainage problem, but a soil health problem."

"Amish farms have bought into agricultural drainage in a big way," Arnold said. "They are very well-read. They're adapting and doing things with hybrids and tiling and sub-surface drainage."

A highly effective means of keeping water in the soil, conservation tillage, which can describe no-till plowing as well as the utilization of cover crops over the winter, took off in popularity during the 1970s once farm equipment and herbicides caught up with the concept.

"They're doing a great deal in terms of conservation tillage. Their use of plastic wrap may be weather-related," Slates said of the Amish, who have traditionally devoted much of their acreage to the growing of produce vegetables.

In the Holmes County community of Winesburg, an Amish food manufacturer, Alpine Cheese Co., has since 2007 utilized a pollution-trading mechanism familiar to the energy industries, particularly power plants, to address its effluent issues.

"Cheese plants tend to discharge a lot of whey. To expand production, they needed to lower their phosphorous discharge. The equipment was very expensive, so they looked into water-quality trading," said Michelle Wood, program administrator for the Holmes County Soil and Water Conservation District.

"A pool of money was put together to reduce pollution input from farmers in the Sugar Creek watershed so Alpine's effluent could go out higher," Slates said. "The cheese plant was using this as kind of an insurance plan."

"The farmers liked working with a local company," Wood said. "Many of these dairy farms were sending their milk there already, so it made a nice kind of circle."

Slates has found that Amish attitudes toward genetically engineered seeds, meanwhile, can vary greatly.

"When it comes to hybrids, there may be church constraints," he said. "Some churches are fine with them and others are not. They mirror the general public. Many English have issues with them."

This year 85 percent of the corn planted in Ohio was genetically engineered, according to the USDA, up from 9 percent in 2000. Eightynine percent of the state's soybean crop this year was genetically engineered, compared to 48 percent in 2000.

Religion briefs Australian prime minister defends gay marriage CANBERRA, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has defended his support for gay marriage at a pre-election forum.

Rudd, a Roman Catholic who regularly attends church, has promised that a bill to create gay marriage in Australia would be voted on in Parliament within 100 days if his center-left Labor Party wins the national election on Saturday.

Rudd was questioned about his stance at a nationally broadcast forum in his hometown of Brisbane Monday by New Hope Church Pastor Matt Prater. Prater quoted from the Bible a definition of marriage as a man leaving his father and mother to be united to his wife.

Rudd replied that times change and the Bible also says slaves should be obedient to their masters. He said the fundamental principle of the New Testament is universal love.

"Salinger"

“Reclusive.” Is that an adjective, or is it actually part of J.D. Salinger ’s name? The word has been used so often to describe the famous writer, one could be forgiven for thinking it appears on his birth certificate.

But there’s obviously much more to the story of “reclusive author J.D. Salinger” than the way he withdrew from public view and publishing and spent much of his life in Cornish, N.H., where he was frequently pursued by avid fans. One of the more entertaining tidbits in “Salinger,” the exhaustive, exhausting and overly hyped new documentary by Shane Salerno, is the account of one of those fans, who made the pilgrimage and clearly felt he was owed more time than he was granted.

“I’m not a counselor,” Salinger said, finally. “I’m a fiction writer.”

It would have been enough if “Salinger” had merely explored that one idea: How much did this writer, after capturing the world’s attention with “The Catcher in the Rye,” owe us? Did he owe us a sequel, a novel every few years, or his presence on talk shows, with opinions on the issues of the day?

Did he “owe” us more than he gave, before his death in 2010 at the age of 91? It seems many felt that way.

But Salerno, until now best known as a screenwriter for “Armageddon” and “Savages,” spent nearly a decade researching Salinger for this project, which includes a 700-page book and a TV documentary. And he had enough material, clearly, for five different films: “Salinger and his Wartime Past,” “for example. “Salinger and his Women.” “Salinger and His Struggles With Fame.” Instead, he took a kitchensink approach, and while the film moves quickly for its 120 minutes, that approach blunts its impact.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing war images, thematic elements and smoking.”

RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

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

"Populaire"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Mad Men” meets “The Artist” in “Populaire,” a superbly crafted, finely acted but somewhat shallow retro rom-com about a young French secretary who, with the help of her highly persuasive boss, hammers her way to becoming one of the fastest typists on the planet.

This impressive debut feature from writer-director Regis Roinsard is boosted by terrific lead turns from Romain Duris and Deborah Francois (“The Page Turner”), as well as some stunning old-school cinematography from Guillaume Schiffman of “The Artist.” Still, there’s something formulaic and all too overtly crowd-pleasing about this sepia-toned tale of female empowerment and lost love, making for a rather soulless affair.

Set in the rain-swept towns of Lower Normandy in 1958, the film makes its throwback status heard loud and clear from the get-go, with opening credits (directed by Alexandre Courtes, “Asylum Blackout”) straight out of a Billy Wilder movie and decors and a color palette that would please the likes of both Alfred Hitchcock and “Mad Men’s” Matthew Weiner. Indeed, it’s easy to spend most of the movie simply gawking at the sets (by Sylvie Olive) and costumes (by Charlotte David), so Roinsard, along with co-writers Daniel Presley and Romain Compingt, deserves credit for weaving an amusing intrigue that never lets up until the closing half-hour, when his premise starts to grow old.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “a scene of sexuality.”

RUNNING TIME: 111 minutes.

suburbs. The national discussion of mass shootings and gun control stands to heighten the impact of director Alexandre Moors’ head-turning debut, which is driven by performances of brooding intensity from Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond.

Following a grainy montage of news and surveillance video accompanied by traumatized 911 calls reporting shootings in the D.C. area, the story opens amid the lush island vegetation of Antigua in the Caribbean. A teenage boy, Lee (Richmond), watches in mute fury as his mother leaves their home to take work elsewhere, saying she’ll be back for him. But as her absence stretches on, Lee grows bored, frustrated and then desperate, seemingly attempting to drown himself in the rough surf.

He is rescued and taken in by John (Washington), a visiting American whose three young daughters have been removed from their country in violation of a custody agreement. With no word from Lee’s mother, John eventually takes him back to Tacoma, Wash.

From early in their relationship, John begins drilling his life-is-unfair views into Lee, whose absence of a father figure renders him highly susceptible to the older man’s influence. The bottomless pit of John’s anger becomes steadily more apparent back in the U.S., as he takes Lee on a tour of the middle-class suburban neighborhood of his former life. He talks of the evil that lives there, the ghosts left behind, and the vampires like his ex-wife, who sucked him dry. Since their return from Antigua, she has taken out a restraining order against him and removed their children to parts unknown. This gnaws at him like a cancer.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing violent content, language and brief drug use.”

Running time: 93 minutes.

"Thanks for Sharing"

With a subject as specific as sex addiction, comparisons to 2011’s “Shame” are inevitable. That dark drama was a deepprobe character study, intensely focused on a man consumed by his cravings.

By contrast, “Thanks for Sharing” is an ensemble piece juggling humor with sober observation of three men intent on overcoming their dependence on the pleasures of the flesh.

Making a technically polished directing debut, screenwriter Stuart Blumberg (“The Kids Are All Right”) has in essence crafted the date-night version of the sexaholic’s confessional.

While it doesn’t crawl under the skin the way “Shame” did, “Thanks for Sharing” probably will prove more widely appealing to audiences, with a name cast and a glossy portrait of New York as a playground of visual stimuli.

Captured in crisp advertising imagery and singing colors by cinematographer Yaron Orbach, it’s a metropolitan catwalk, a promo-reel for romance and desire. Gorgeous women glide along the streets, pretty young couples make out on the High Line, and every billboard, bus and taxi display explodes with sensuality.

All of that keeps “Thanks for Sharing” watchable and mildly entertaining, even if it’s 15-20 minutes too long. What stops the film from being more satisfying, however, is a problem with the way the central character, Adam (Marc Ruffalo), takes shape.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and some strong sexual content.”

"Prisoners"

Parenting involves countless mundane decisions — dozens a day. But as any parent knows, the potential for tragedy stemming from a wrong decision is never far from the surface of the mind. What if they go out and get hit by a car? What if I look away and they drown in the current? What if they get

September 26, 2013

kidnapped?

No wonder the movies get so much mileage out of missingchildren tales. But few — very few — handle it with the skill that director Denis Villeneuve and a terrific cast led by Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal bring to “Prisoners,” a suspense thriller that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Jackman, we all know, is not only talented but so darned likable that it’s hard for him to break out of that ever-charming persona. But here, in some of his best work to date, he manages it — and surpasses last year’s Oscar-nominated performance in “Les Miserables” — as a grief-stricken, panicked father who succumbs to his basest impulses in a race to find his young daughter’s captors.

And Gyllenhaal, in a less flashy but just as compelling performance, brings new depth to the well-worn role of brooding, driven detective. To the film’s credit, we don’t get much backstory on this character. A few small hints are all we need; the actor’s textured performance does the rest.

Jackman is Keller Dover, a carpenter in a Pennsylvania town, and a survivalist who believes diligent preparation is the key to avoiding disaster. His basement is packed with supplies.

But that won’t help him on the cold and gray Thanksgiving evening when his young daughter and her friend go missing.

It’s one of those quick parenting decisions — OK girls, you can go outside. Later, when no one can find them, mild concern on the part of two happy families celebrating the holiday escalates into fear, then full-blown panic, as an older sibling recalls that an RV had been parked, creepily, on the street, and there was someone inside.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing violent content including torture, and language throughout.”

RUNNING TIME: 153 minutes.

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

"Enough Said"

Beholding the late James Gandolfini doing a lovely job in a change-of-pace role significantly intensifies the already funny/ sad aspects of “Enough Said,” an engaging comic romance set amid the minefields that imperil starting up mid-life relationships. The title notwithstanding, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s look at a 50-ish divorced mother with a daughter about to leave home is never at a loss for words, many of them quite amusing, making the film a leading contender for best girls’ night movie of the season. For their part, men will enjoy watching Gandolfini in a relaxed, self-effacing, regular guy performance.

Employing to her advantage a more traditional story structure than is her norm, Holofcener builds her snappy social comedy around a key piece of information that her heroine doesn’t know, that the guy she’s beginning to date is the muchdisparaged ex of her new best friend. This sort of trick has provided the trigger for rich farcical doings going back at least as far as Shakespeare, and Holofcener uses it as a springboard to look at a raft of self-absorbed, often myopic LA Westside types who have it together in some ways but not in others.

Almost everyone here is divorced with an ex living nearby and one kid who’s about to fly the coop for college. Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a massage therapist who lugs her portable table to her clients’ homes and is preparing emotionally for the looming moment when her smart daughter Ellen (Tracey Fairway) heads East for school. A crowded cocktail party provides a convenient way to start stirring the pot, as well as for the writer to show her knack for lively, acerbic banter, much of it coming from Eva, who early on decides that there’s no one there she finds attractive. The man she’s just met, Albert (Gandolfini), agrees.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude and sexual content, comic violence, language and partial nudity.”

Associated Press

In this undated image provided by The Story Factory, "Catcher in the Rye" author, J.D. Salinger plays with his dog, Benny.

Salinger researcher dug deep

By HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shane Salerno’s phone never stops ringing.

Known until now as a screenwriter for “Armageddon” and “Savages,” working by day on a sequel to “Avatar,” he has taken on a surprising and news-making identity: the latest, and, apparently, greatest seeker of clues about J.D. Salinger.

Salerno is finally opening up about a private quest he worked on for a decade, spending $2 million of his own money. Stating that he has found more than even he had imagined, including what the author might have written over the last half century of his life, Salerno is presenting his case in “Salinger,” a unique, 3-way project: A 700-page book, co-authored with David Shields; a theatrical release distributed by the Weinstein Company; and a TV documentary that will air on PBS in January as the 200th installment of “American

Masters.”

Earnest and energetic with sharp, narrow blue eyes and dark, brushed-back hair that could qualify him as an honorary Baldwin brother, the 40-year-old Salerno seems an unlikely candidate for breaking Salinger ground. He is not an experienced biographer, a trained academic or investigative journalist.

He is, instead, a lifelong Salinger fan, a believer and a go-getter who has often succeeded simply by refusing to quit.

“When I get something in my head, I go after it with extreme passion and I went after this for a decade with extreme passion,” Salerno, who reportedly negotiated 7-figure deals for each edition of “Salinger,” said during a recent weekend interview.

Salerno has come as close as anyone to giving the public a peek into the safe in Cornish, N.H., where Salinger allegedly stashed his unreleased manuscripts. Citing two independent sources, he has alleged that several more Salinger books are on the

way, including new material on Holden Caulfield and on the Glass family that Salinger featured in “Franny and Zooey” and other books. No one, so far, has disputed Salerno.

Salinger’s longtime publisher, Little, Brown and Company, has declined comment. So has Salinger’s son, Matthew.

The results of his work can be found, in part, in a 4-room office suite in Brentwood.

There are rare editions of Salinger books, including a reviewer’s copy of “Franny and Zooey” that includes the critic’s handwritten notes (”Owes a lot to Faulkner,” reads one comment). He has a rejection slip The New Yorker sent to Salinger, informing him they were not interested in “The Catcher In the Rye.” He has folders marked “Personal Letters,” “Divorce Papers” and “The Vault/ The Safe.”

Salerno interviewed hundreds of people and has amassed hundreds of documents, letters and photographs. For a time, he had an agreement with a Salinger family member

— Salerno won’t say who — to cooperate on the project, but the deal fell through. But “Salinger,” the book and movie, still features notable new material: —Photographs, letters and other materials from Salinger friend Paul Fitzgerald, whose close bond with the author lasted from World War II to 2010, the year Salinger died. (Paul Fitzgerald died just months later.) Fitzgerald’s son, John, said in an email that his father had always respected Salinger’s privacy, but that the family also believed it was time to “shed light” on misinformation. “After many lengthy conversations with Mr. Salerno, I knew that this would be the very vehicle to do so,” he said.

The great prize was a World War II snapshot so tiny that no one at first could make out what it contained. “He (John Fitzgerald) called up and he said, ‘I don’t know what it is. It looks like he’s at a table,”’ Salerno said. “I remember sending out my assistant to run out and buy a magnifying glass.”

"The Family" better than expected

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge For four days this week all I heard from people that were brave enough to buy a ticket was that "The Family" was awful, a terrible movie that was boring, overly violent, and utterly joyless. To these folks, I say you're crazy. Luc Besson's dark comedy is hilarious, sexy, and full of danger that just skirts that line between cartoonish ("KickAss," and definitely "Kick-Ass 2") and romp-tastic fun ("RED," but definitely not "RED 2"). There's also a delightful sense of humor about two of the lead stars, the notoriously stoic Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones. I know how they keep a straight face, but I couldn't.

Th i s r a t h e r s i m p l i s t i c s t o r y

about a family on the run from the Mafia is anything but because each of the four principle stars is a treasure of self-reliance that all combine together to keep the family at the heart of "The Family" all that much stronger. De Niro plays Giovanni Manzoni, a highlevel wiseguy that turned on his Don when the pressure got to be too much. The real reason he did it was not fully explained, but that's almost a secondary concern. The Manzoni clan opens with them arriving in a tiny little town in Normandy (France, y'all) where they've been reassigned for the umpteenth time since Gio can't control his temper in every placement they've had so far. Greeting them upon arrival is Stansfield (Jones), the hardnosed Witness Protection Program l i a i s o n t h a t i s c h a rg e d w i t h

keeping them alive despite Mom Maggie's (Michelle Pfeiffer) habit to burn down businesses that don't cater kindly to Americans and the kids' penchant for Dad's business tactics.

As Gio sets about to write his memoirs, much to Stansfield's dismay, he also continues to enjoy slipping his surveillance team to "meet the neighbors", which is merely code for his strong-arm tactics that are employed to do everything from light a barbecue grill to get the local fertilizer plant to cease polluting the town's water supply. Some guys just don't care for advice about c h a rc o a l o r d r i n k i n g b o t t l e d water. And this guy? He's their leader He even cheekily leads a discussion on Goodfellas at the local film society meeting. Maggie also uses a lot of her wiles, like

cooking, to lose top cops Di Cicco (Jimmy Palumbo) and Caputo (Domenick Lombardozzi) in order to tour the local churches of their new region. I enjoyed m o s t , t h o u g h , t h e c h i l d re n ' s attack to their new lycee where 14 year-old Warren (John D'Leo) takes the skills he's witnessed his pop using over the years to manipulate his new classmates into doing his bidding, amassing a fortune of cash, electronics, and networked buddies that help him dominate the tough guys and the teachers. Belle (Dianna Agron), Warren's older sister, takes a similar approach to making new friends. First, though, she has to teach some painful lessons to her would-be suitors and the class pickpocket. It takes a dirty turn when she starts a flirty (and more) relationship with the

September 26, 2013

student teacher that is tutoring her needlessly in math. Her freespirited and somewhat wholesome image of love is both refreshing and true to her film's end decision to side with her family against the Family in a running gun battle.

"The Family" is based on the novel Malavita by Tonino Benacquista and, in fact, the Manzoni's dog - a beautiful black German Shepherd - shares the name of the book. Even the friendly canine member of the clan gets in on the action at the bloody climax. Blood may be thicker than water, but this clan proves it by never shying away from a spray of it when just a drop will do.

"The Family" runs 128 minutes and is rated R for violence, language, and brief sexuality. I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

Family Focus

Washington University plans series for young people For The Edge The seas have risen and covered the earth. A few soaked survivors cling to mountaintops and tall buildings. Scientists have tried everything, but the floating islands sank, the ice-caps failed to refreeze and the giant sponges—visible from space—slowly rot in the salty water.

Among the survivors are Alvin Sputnik and his wife Helen, who, despite all odds, have built a happy life in a small cottage atop a onceproud skyscraper. But when Helen takes ill and dies, the bereaved Alvin sets out on a dangerous mission to save what’s left of humanity.

So begin The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer, an inventive, heartwarming and visually spectacular mix of puppetry, mime and animation.

On Oct. 5, the critically acclaimed one-man-show—performed by Australia’s St. John Cowcher—will launch Edison Theatre’s 2013-14 ovations for young people series.

A heart as big as a whale Like a post-apocalyptic version of Orpheus and Eurydice, Alvin Sputnik tells the story of one man who braves the depths of the earth for the sake of enduring love.

Still mourning Helen’s death, Alvin overhears a call from scientists at Earth HQ, postulating the existence of a lost paradise at the bottom of the sea. A hero is needed to find it. Alvin, with nothing left to lose, dons a deep-sea suit and dives headfirst into the watery underworld, in search of salvation and—perhaps—Helen’s soul. .“If Pixar had a theatrical division, one would think (and hope) they’d create something like this show,” says NYTheatre.com. The New York Times adds that Alvin Sputnik’s “mix of environmental disaster, twee humor and cutie-pie whimsy makes it something akin to a theatrical Wall-E.” “Is it odd to call a play set in a post-apocalyptic world charming and delightful?” asks StageBuzz. com. “Probably so, but be that as it may, The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is a charming and delightful modern fable.

“While it deals with environmental issues, Alvin Sputnik is mostly a story about love and sacrifice.”

The ovations for young people series will continue March 15 with Black Violin, a.k.a. Wilner “Wil B” Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester, two classically trained musicians who combine classical music with jazz, funk and hip-hop. Concluding the series on April 12 will be 500 Clown in Trapped, a bouncy yet surprisingly philosophical rumination on ensnarement and escape.

Tickets and sponsors

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer begins at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5. Tickets are $12.

To maintain the intimacy of the performance, seating is limited to 200 seats per show. Tickets are available at the Edison Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets.

Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd.

Subscriptions to all three ovations for young people events are available for $27, or $24 for WUSTL faculty and staff.

For more information, call (314) 935-6543, e-mail edison@wustl.edu or visit edison.wustl.edu.

Edison programs are made possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis; and private contributors.

Travel Springfield to host annual Mother Road Festival For The Edge A shiny car with lots of power hitting the open road is part of the American fabric. The spirit of freedom that idea conveys requires little explanation to most Americans; and it is the object of envy of many around the world.

Throw in some of the world’s most prized and powerful shiny cars and the world’s ultimate open road—Route 66; and the spirit becomes legend. That spirit will be celebrated in grand style again on September 27, 28 & 29, 2013, in historic downtown Springfield, Illinois along Route 66 as the International Route 66 Mother Road Festival returns to celebrate its 12th annual event.

“The first festival was held in 2002 in Springfield to showcase what Illinois’ portion of US 66 has to offer travelers,” said Kim Rosendahl, President of the Board of Directors for the Festival. “That year the event drew a couple hundred cars. Today, the festival draws over 1,000 cars and as many as 80,000 spectators – who come from around the globe.”

According to Springfield Mayor Mike Houston, “The Mother Road Festival continues to grow, building on the love of classic cars and nostalgia for a by-gone era.

This year we will welcome back old friends of the festival plus a new generation of visitors from all over the world to celebrate all that is US Route 66. This world-class event offers fun and a great time to everyone who attends, as well as tremendously benefiting our local economy. We are proud to be the host city for this event and hope all of our Mother Road visitors enjoy themselves.”

This year, the Festival will get into full swing with the Route 66 City Nights Cruise at 6:00pm Friday, September 27th. The

Family entertainment is a key draw for the Festival, and kids have their own special Family Fun Zone to enjoy in the midst of it all. The LRS Monet of Cars, a staple feature of the Route 66 Mother Road Festival, will feature the “1947 Cadillac Convertible,” “1957 Corvette Convertible,” “2006 Boss Hoss” and a “Hoss Fly Powered Bar Stool.”

September 26, 2013

Coordinated by the Illinois Route 66 National Scenic Byway, the “Travel Illinois Expo” has been a feature of the Festival since its beginning. The Expo showcases the unique opportunities available for those traveling historic Route 66 in the smaller communities along the Mother Road. The Travel Illinois Expo will host an exhibit that Festival-goers can “ink” to become a part of Route 66 history. For the fourth year in a row, the Byway created a car hood with the Route 66 emblem that people can sign. The original hood, created by Mike Cowden; owner of Cowden's Auto Body, Inc, was a huge success, garnering thousands of signatures from all over the world. This year, another hood will be on display waiting for signatures near the Travel Illinois Expo all weekend long.

By signing the hood, people can become part of Illinois Route 66 and a part of history. Eventually all of the signed hoods will become an Illinois Route 66 attraction once they have a permanent home.

For the over 1,000 car enthusiasts who register and bring their cars, getting every last inch of their beloved machines buffed and ready to be professionally judged is a top priority. The CASIcertified national judging at the International Route 66 Mother Road Festival and Car Show will name award winners in over 40 classes including specialty awards like “Best of Show,” “Mayor’s Choice,” and “Longest Distance.”

For those who like to play in their muscle machines, those participants can also compete for a new set of tires by creating the smokiest, most crowd-pleasing burnout in the Mickey Thompson

Tires Burnout Competition. Other fun participant activities will include a Poker Race sponsored

by Downtown Springfield, Inc. on Saturday from 10am-4pm, and a chance to measure the real, no-bull, actual at-the-wheel horsepower of their ride on the Lucas Oil Dyno Challenge. A jacket and plaque is awarded to the owner of the vehicle generating the highest horsepower each day.

For cool cars and trucks, no matter how “finished”, the latest must-have parts and accessories will be available at the Festival in the Performance Marketplace.

Restoration, renewal, and performance-products manufacturers, fabricators, and experts will be on hand in booths scattered throughout the streets of the Festival.

Additional event features include the Horsepower Alley with high horsepower features like the Mickey Thompson Tires BURNOUT Competition and Lucas Oil DYNO CHALLENGE! New This Year, check out the International Mercury Owner's Association car corral, "Mercuryville."

Admission is FREE to all spectators. Participants can SAVE in advance. Participants may register for $40 plus a $3.50 handling fee through Monday, September 20th at www. route66fest.com or by phone at 1-866-RTE-66IL (1-866-783-6645).

The Arts Artistic adventures Winifred Godfrey exhibit coming to Hatheway Lewis and Clark Community College’s Hatheway Cultural Center Art Gallery will soon feature the rich, resonating paintings of American artist Winifred Godfrey.

The retrospective exhibit, “Winifred Godfrey: 40 Years of Painting,” will feature oil and watercolor paintings, drawings and lithographs, including figurative work, paintings which depict the distinctive textiles of the Mayan people of the Guatemalan Highlands, and floral pieces.

“What interests me primarily in painting floral forms is the delicate and temporary quality of the blossom,” Godfrey said. “ A l t h o u g h t h e c a n v a s e s a re p a i n t e d realistically, the flower is the starting point for an abstract study of the luminosity and transparency of the individual petal.

I t r y t o a c c o m p l i s h t h i s t h ro u g h t h e magnification of the plant form itself in a tight design, and make a dynamic spatial

relationship of this form with the rectangle of the canvas.”

The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through Saturday, Oct. 12. On Oct. 12, a closing reception will be held from 3-6 p.m.

“The college is grateful to Winifred Godfrey for providing us the opportunity to organize an exhibition that covers four decades of her work,” said Jim Price, p ro f e s s o r o f a r t , h i s t o r y a n d c u l t u re at Lewis and Clark. “It is a unique opportunity for people to see the amazing breadth and depth of her art. This is a show that will enhance the offerings of the college and increase our perception of what excellence is.”

The exhibit of Godfrey’s art, which graces the Lewis and Clark’s Godfrey c a m p u s i n b o t h t h e Te m p l i n N u r s i n g Building and the Trimpe ATC, will provide local residents and art patrons from the Chicago area with the opportunity to see more than 100 pieces of her extensive work spanning four decades. This is the first

time a display of Godfrey’s work of this scope and size has ever been exhibited in the United States.

Godfrey brings a decidedly 20th century look to the long tradition of floral and figurative painting. Her work is often described as photorealistic, although her interest is more with color and composition. Working with common subjects but presented large, Godfrey’s art provides a fresh view of the intricate shapes, texture and translucency of flowers. Her figurative work is presented in a unique, life-sized format.

Born in Philadelphia and raised on Chicago’s south side, Godfrey received a Bachelor of Science in Art and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin.

Her artwork is included in many private, corporate and museum collections and has been exhibited throughout North America.

Godfrey’s work was presented with that of Georgia O’Keefe and Marc Chagall at an exhibit of 20th century flower paintings at the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale,

2477 S. ST. RTE. 157 Edwardsville www.edisonsfun.com (618) 307-9020

Fla. She has also exhibited at the Chicago Botanic Garden, where she won the Flora Exhibition Award of Excellence. Other awards to her credit are the State of Illinois Library Competition and First Prize out of 4,500 floral entries in The Artist’s Magazine Floral Competition. More recently she was awarded the Municipal Art League’s Award of Excellence for her entire career and body of work.

T h i s s p r i n g G o d f re y e x h i b i t e d h e r “MAYAN PROCESSION” at the Chicago Cultural Center in the Renaissance Court Gallery. In the last several years she has been working on a series of figurative paintings of highland indigenous of Guatemala. Each canvas depicts a different village and costume. There are currently 14 life-size oils that are exhibited in sequence and called “MAYAN PROCESSION.” For more information about the exhibit, “Winifred Godfrey: 40 Years of Painting,” call Louise Jett at (618) 468-3220 or visit www.lc.edu/WinifredGodfrey.

The Arts Artistic adventures "My Fair Lady" to close season at STAGES Hailed as one of the greatest musicals of all time, My Fair Lady (now through October 6) is the perfect grand finale to the STAGES ST. LOUIS record-breaking 27th season. This romantic fancy radiates a charm and sophistication unlike any other musical and reigns as an American masterpiece. Lerner and Loewe's score couldn't be closer to pure perfection, with memorable show-stoppers such as "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," and "Get Me to the Church on Time." You'll "grow accustomed" to this "loverly" classic as "your heart takes flight."

The gold standard by which all others are measured, My Fair Lady brings to vibrant life the thrilling transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a lowly flower girl in Victorian London, into a ravishing upper class lady. Hedging his bets, Professor Henry Higgins is determined to teach this cockney girl proper English but will he be able to get along without her once he succeeds?

My Fair Lady is based on Pygmalion, written by George Bernard Shaw in 1912. Pygmalion had its first production in Vienna during the fall of 1913 and premiered in New York at the Irving Place Theatre during the spring of 1914. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe had the brilliant idea to adapt the play into a musical and began this process in 1950. My Fair Lady premiered on Broadway in 1956 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre and starred Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. It closed in 1962 after 2,717 performances, a record at that time.

Christopher Guilmet and Pamela Brumley star as Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, respectively. Guilmet returns to STAGES, previously appearing in The Sound of Music, Man of La Mancha, Camelot, and A Little Night Music. His numerous New York, L.A., and regional credits include The Crucible, Carousel and The Immigrant. Brumleyalso returns to STAGES, having previously a p p e a r e d i n L i t t l e Wo m e n , Thoroughly Modern Millie and A Little Night Music. Among her numerous New York and regional credits, Brumley has previously played Eliza in My Fair Lady and appeared in Camelot, Show Boat, Beauty and the Beast and the film The Perfect Stranger.

Single ticket prices range from $20 - $55. STAGES performs in the intimate, 377-seat Robert G. Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Civic Center, 111 South Geyer Road in St. Louis, MO. For more information or to purchase tickets call 314-821-2407 or visit www.stagesstlouis.org.

• P e t e r G r i m e s : S a t u r d a y, November 16.

This special event is made possible in part by support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Britten-Pears Foundation.

• I n J a n u a r y, t h e S t . L o u i s S y m p h o n y p re s e n t s a m o n t h long Beethoven Festival, pairing well-known works from the iconic composer with modern masterpieces.

• M a rc h 7 - 8 , t h e S t . L o u i s S y m p h o n y p e r f o r m s Ve r d i ’ s Requiem. Vocalists Angel Blue, Julia Gertseva, Aquiles Machado and Riccardo Zanellato join the St. Louis Symphony Chorus to bring to life Verdi’s operatic sacred work.

• Renowned soprano Karita Mattila returns to Powell Hall March 28-29 to perform her first-ever Erwartung with David Robertson and the St. Louis Symphony. Schoenberg’s dramatic portrayal of a woman’s descent into madness and the mystery that ensues is a not-to-be-missed event.

• It is one of the best-known pieces of classical music ever written: Carmina burana. Join the St. Louis Symphony May 1-4 as it presents Orff’s blockbuster. These performances will also feature the St. Louis Symphony Chorus and the St. Louis Children’s Choir.

Founded in 1880 and now approaching its 134th season, the St. Louis Symphony is the second-

oldest orchestra in the country and widely considered one of the world’s finest. In September

2005, internationally acclaimed conductor David Robertson became the 12th Music Director,

the second American-born conductor to hold that post in the Orchestra’s history.

Dining Delights A chicken recipe you'll go bananas over

By J.M. HIRSCH Associated Press Most of us have a pretty limited banana repertoire. We eat them straight up, baked into quick breads, pureed into smoothies, or sliced into either fruit salad or some sort of breakfast food. That's about it.

B u t a f r i e n d re c e n t l y — i f unknowingly — introduced me to the savory side of bananas, and I was completely smitten.

Sassy Latina chef Daisy Martinez loves working big, bold flavors into easy dishes. That's my style of cooking. So when she recently launched a great new web video series, I was eager to watch the first episode — a breezy walk through her take on fried chicken. I'm sure the chicken is delicious, but it was one offhand comment about a condiment that really caught my attention.

Banana ketchup.

Sounds odd, yes. But I'll confess that I consider ketchup — in all its forms — to be a major food group unto itself. And I simply had to try Daisy's recipe. Turns out it is easy to make and delivers an amazing sweet and tangy punch that blew me away. Think of it as the Hispanic equivalent of Asian sweet-and-sour sauce. It totally works.

CHICKEN KEBABS WITH CHILI-BANANA SAUCE I like to briefly brine my chicken breasts when cooking them kebabstyle. It adds flavor and keeps them from drying out.

Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 4 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 / 2 t e a s p o o n g ro u n d b l a c k pepper 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3), cut into 1-inch chunks 1 1/2 bananas 1/2 cup ketchup 1 to 2 whole fresh jalapenos (for less heat, split them open and remove the seeds and ribs) 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or cider vinegar In a large zip-close plastic bag, combine the water, salt, paprika and pepper. Close the bag and shake to blend, then add the chicken. Seal the bag, then turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers for the kebabs, soak them in water while the chicken brines.

Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor combine the bananas, ketchup, jalapenos and vinegar.

Puree until very smooth. Set aside.

When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high. Use an oilsoaked paper towel held with tongs to oil the grill grates.

Remove the chicken from the brine, then thread the pieces onto 4 skewers. Grill, turning regularly, until cooked through, about 12 minutes total. Using a basting brush, lightly coat the kebabs on all sides with chili-banana sauce, then grill for another minute. Transfer the kebabs to serving plates, then drizzle each with additional sauce.

••• You may not find too many restaurant chefs plopping their poultry on cans of PBR, but all those tailgaters and beachside grillers are on to something.

Beer-can chicken recipes are

everywhere on the Internet, but most of them don’t address the two biggest challenges of roasting poultry. The first is to avoid overcooking the meat. Nothing is more disappointing at a Labor Day cookout than to bite into a beautiful-looking chicken breast only to end up with a mouthful of woody fiber that seems to suck the saliva right out of your glands.

T h e re c i p e b e l o w c a l l s f o r several hours in the oven and a core temperature of 145 F to 150 F, which will meet those guidelines as long as you slow-cook the bird at a low temperature. But be sure you use a reliable, oven-safe thermometer and place it properly as directed in the recipe. The tip shouldn’t be touching or near any bone.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN ON A BEER CAN Start to finish: 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 4 1 medium roaster chicken 12-ounce can of cold beer (any variety you like to drink)

F

Set an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven. Remove the upper racks. Heat the oven to 175 F, or as low as your oven will allow if its controls do not go this low.

Wash your hands well with soap. Remove the neck and bag of giblets, if included, from inside the chicken. Slide your fingertips underneath the skin at the neck opening and gently work the skin away from the meat. Use care to avoid tearing the skin as you pull it loose from the body; continue as far as you can reach on both the front and the back. Turn the chicken over, and repeat from the cavity opening at the base of the bird, making sure to loosen the skin on the drumsticks so that it is attached only at the wings and the ends of the legs.

Use a knife to pierce the skin at the foot end of each leg and at the tail end of the front and back.

These small incisions will allow the cooking juices to drain away so that they don’t soak into the skin.

Pour the contents of the beer can into a glass, and enjoy it at your

leisure. Push the empty can into the tail end of the bird far enough that the chicken can stand upright as it rests on the can.

If the neck was included with the chicken, use it like a stopper to close up the opening at the top of the bird. Otherwise you can use a bulldog clip to pinch the skin closed so that steam inflates the loose skin like a balloon and holds it away from the damp meat as the chicken roasts.

Set a baking sheet in the oven.

Insert the probe of an oven-safe thermometer into the deepest part of the chicken’s thigh. Stand the chicken upright (on the can) on the baking sheet and roast until the core temperature reaches 145 F if you want the white meat to be juicy and tender; for more succulent dark meat, continue roasting to a core temperature of 150 F. A medium-size roaster will need 3 to 4 hours.

After the first 30 minutes of roasting, check the effective baking temperature by inserting a digital thermometer through the skin to a

depth of 3/8 inch. The temperature there should be within 5 F of the target core temperature (either 145 F or 150 F). If it is too high, open the oven door for several minutes; if too cool, increase the oven setting slightly. Repeat this check of the near-surface temperature every half hour or so.

When the core temperature hits the target, take the chicken out and let it rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to its hottest baking setting. Don’t use the broiler, but do select a convection baking mode if your oven has one.

Return the bird to the hot oven, turn on the light, and watch it carefully as it browns. The goal is crisp, golden brown skin. The skin will start to brown quickly, and browning will accelerate once it starts. So keep your eye on it. Once the chicken is browned, remove the can, carve the bird, and serve immediately, while the skin is still crispy.
