Wildey to present "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and its leading actress

t will make you think twice about going into the water.

Creatures, Cupcakes and Cocktails, an event presented by the Friends of the Wildey, will bring the 1950s monster film “Creature From the Black Lagoon” to the big screen on Oct. 17.

Going one step further, Julie Adams, the film’s leading lady,

firm of Taliana, Buckley & Asa and proceeds will go to the Friends of the Wildey.

SJ Morrison, a member of the Friends of the Wildey group and the lead organizer for Creatures, Cupcakes and Cocktails, said he was looking for something to tie into Halloween and the rest of the pieces fell into place.

“The event came about because we were looking for a fun monster movie that would be appropriate for Halloween, and ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon,' has a

will be on hand to tell stories about the film’s production and sign autographs.

The event kicks off at 6:15 p.m. at the Wildey and tickets are $10 each.

Guests will also have an opportunity to purchase cupcakes and cocktails the night of the screening.

The event is sponsored by the law

large following,” Morrison said.

“When I was researching the film, I discovered that it’s leading lady, Julie Adams, makes public appearances, so I contacted her on Facebook and set it up.”

“Creature from the Black Lagoon” was filmed in 1953 released and in 1954 as one of the

first films shown in 3-D. It ranks among Universal Studios’ top monster films and was lauded for its underwater footage.

No doubt, the film will feel at home, being screened at the Wildey.

“The Wildey is an old movie theater, and ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ would have probably played there in the 1950s,” Morrison said. “There is no better way to watch a classic film, or a monster movie like 'Creature' with beautiful cinematography, on the big screen.”

The film follows the story of an archaeology team searching the Amazon River for the fossilized remains of a giant humanoid sea creature.

After a series of attacks on the expedition, the passions of a reallife creature are aroused by Kay Lawrence, a member the group, played by Adams.

Adams appeared in hundreds of films and television series during her 50 years of acting.

She has starred with the likes of Elvis Presley, Charlton Heston, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Raymond Burr and Andy Griffith.

Notable television appearances include “General Hospital,”

“Murder She Wrote,” “Cagney and Lacey,” “Lost” and, in 2011, “CSI: New York.”

Adams, originally from Arkansas, and her son Mitchell recently wrote her life story, “The Lucky Southern Star: Reflections from the Black Lagoon.”

Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the Wildey during the event, which falls on

October 10, 2013

the day Adams celebrates her 87th birthday.

Morrison said all of the elements will tie up nicely to produce a oneof-a-kind evening.

“We are thrilled to bring Julie Adams to Edwardsville and to the Wildey Theatre for Creatures, Cupcakes and Cocktails during this 60th anniversary year,” he said. “This is a rare opportunity to meet a true Hollywood legend and to see a groundbreaking film as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen.”

A large crowd – representing a wide range of ages – is expected.

“With movie trivia, signature cupcakes and cocktails, a classic film and a Hollywood legend in person, it really seems as though there’s something for everyone, so we’re expecting a diverse crowd,” Morrison said. “A wide variety of individuals have purchased tickets already, so we’re looking forward to a fun evening.”

Tickets can be purchased online at www.WildeyTheatre.com.

A view of EIGHTEEN/76 inside Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

EIGHTEEN/76 opens at Lambert For The Edge The iconic history of Budweiser comes alive in St. Louis with the new bar & restaurant concept at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. EIGHTEEN/76, now open in Lambert’s Concourse E in Terminal 2 (Gate E10), pays homage to the founding year of Budweiser, first brewed in the original St. Louis Anheuser-Busch brewery and still brewed there today.

EIGHTEEN/76 is the first airport location

for this nostalgic concept which features mural accents of Budweiser history with an interior finish that features beechwood, brick and dark metal finishes. A reclaimed aged beech­­wood and stainless steel bar are highlighted with bright re­d seats and accent lighting.

The new concept was developed in partnership with Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and HMSHost, the master food concessionaire at the airport, with valuable input from Anheuser-Busch.

“The city of St. Louis has a great deal of

history and HMSHost is proud to help honor this with the opening of EIGHTEEN/76,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Stephen Douglas. “Bringing EIGHTEEN/76 to Terminal 2 provides travelers with an authentic St. Louis experience and a taste of local culture.”

The bar features nearly a dozen beers in both draft and bottles. EIGHTEEN/76 will also have a top flight wine list. Drinks can be paired with complementary menu items like the roast beef hero sandwich, Gus’

pressed pretzel (with Shock Top Belgian White mustard), farm house cheese plates, steakhouse caprese salad and roasted red pepper hummus with grilled garlic flatbread.

To celebrate the opening of EIGHTEEN/76 on September 24, Anheuser-Busch gave passengers and airport visitors a unique surprise in Terminal 2.

One of the Budweiser Clydesdales made a special appearance inside the ticketing level of Terminal 2 to greet both arriving and departing passengers.

Combat common health problems in kids We all want our kids to grow up to be strong and healthy.

We do everything in our power to protect them from the bad things in the world. We can get rid of the monster under the bed, but sometimes it is more difficult to make some common health problems disappear.

One of the most common illnesses that plague small children is ear infections. Ear infections (otitis media) form more frequently in small children due to the alignment of the Eustachian tube, making it more susceptible to fluid buildup in the ear. The shape of the ear canal coupled with kids’ weaker immune systems makes chronic ear infections more likely. Symptoms of ear infections may include fever, ear pain, drainage from the ear, and trouble sleeping. Pediatricians often use the “watch and wait” approach where they let the ear infection resolve on its own. They may also prescribe antibiotics, which some studies have shown to not be any more effective than placebo. If the ear infections turn chronic, then tubes may be placed in the child’s ear. Although these methods have had success, chiropractic care has been shown to diminish and prevent ear infections. A study published by Dr. Joan Fallon, a practicing chiropractor, stated that after receiving a series of gentle chiropractic adjustments, nearly 80% of children who were diagnosed with otitis media were free of ear infections for a six month period following their initial visit.

Approximately 10-20% of babies are affected by colic. Colic

On the Edge of the Weekend

Dr. Nikki Hunter is diagnosed using the Rule of 3’s. It is defined by unexplained crying for three hours a day at least three days a week for at least three weeks. Other symptoms include clenching of the fists, pulling their legs up to their stomach, and arching their backs. This type of behavior usually starts when the baby is around three weeks old and usually self resolves within 3 months. However, colic can last for six months or more. It is unknown why certain babies develop colic. No matter the reason, it can be frustrating when your baby will not stop crying.

If you get worried about your baby’s crying, it is always a good idea to see your pediatrician. The doctor will perform an exam on your baby to make sure everything is okay. If the baby is suffering from colic, there are some things you can try to alleviate the symptoms. If you are breastfeeding, try eliminating certain foods out of your diet such as dairy, processed foods, or caffeine. If you are formula feeding your baby, talk to your doctor about switching formulas. Some babies may be more sensitive to certain ingredients in the different formulas. Try taking your baby for a walk in the stroller or a ride in the car. Movement sometimes soothes the baby and may help reduce the symptoms of colic. If you

October 10, 2013

have tried these different approaches and nothing seems to be helping, you may want to visit a chiropractor. During the birthing process, the baby’s spine can become misaligned causing irritation to nerves that go to other parts of the body.

This may make the baby hypersensitive to certain stimuli. A chiropractor will examine your baby and perform a gentle adjustment consisting of light pressure to areas of your baby’s spine that are misaligned. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics was performed with 316 babies who were diagnosed with colic. After only 2-3 chiropractic adjustments, 91% of parents reported an improvement in their baby’s symptoms.

Keeping your kids healthy is a priority. That is why is it important to discuss any abnormal changes your child may be experiencing with your doctor. Proper diagnosis of the symptoms is the first step to getting your child well. We all want our children to be laughing and playing, not feeling sick and crying. By giving your baby the opportunities of proper nutrition and chiropractic care, you are taking a leap toward health.

To determine if chiropractic care could help you or your child, or to speak with a chiropractor in the Glen Carbon/Edwardsville area, call Dr. Nikole Hunter at 692-0000. Dr. Hunter is a board certified chiropractic physician.

People People planner Dunham returning to St. Charles The nation’s number one comedian Jeff Dunham and his beloved cast of characters announce the kick off of the winter leg of their 2013 “Disorderly Conduct” worldwide tour. The winter 2013/2014 international concert series begins on December 2 6 , 2 0 1 3 i n To l e d o , O H a n d continues through February 28, 2014 in Champaign. IL. Dunham is scheduled to appear at the Family Arena in St. Charles on Feb. 7.

Tickets are available through MetroTix.com or by calling 1-314534-1111.

Fans all over the world can look forward to a new jam-packed show with more laughs than ever before. Dunham’s famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J, the manic purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself.

Dunham and his comedic sidekicks most recent Comedy Central one-hour special entitled “Minding the Monsters,” is the fifth in a string of record-breaking specials. “Minding the Monsters” takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is, watch Bubba J rise from the dead, meet Peanut’s alter ego, The Purple Avenger of the Night, and his spicy sidekick, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist! It debuted on Comedy Central to 7.5 million viewers, making it the most watched special of the year for the network. Upon its release on DVD, it was the #1 comedy DVD on Amazon.com and exceeded platinum sales within 6 days. It has already reached triple platinum status.

The amazing rise of Jeff Dunham continues apace, with 2013 having seen Jeff continue to pack arenasized venues. Dunham and his sidekicks are preparing for their sixth trip to Europe this fall, stopping in the U.K., Germany, and Belgium.

In 2013, fans will also get the chance to see Achmed the Dead Terrorist like he's never been seen before! This December, Jeff Dunham will premiere his very first animated feature “Achmed Saves America,” starring the world’s most beloved, failed badguy! In this full length animated movie, Achmed is having a very b a d d a y. . . A f t e r a c c i d e n t a l l y blowing himself up, the world's most incompetent suicide bomber finds himself whisked away from his homeland by a giant bald eagle and dropped off in... Americaville, USA. There, mistaken by the kind-hearted Wilson family for a visiting French exchange student, "The Little Skeleton That Couldn't" bumblingly plots to destroy the town and all of its "infidels". But, once he's exposed to the sweet things in life -- including allyou-can-eat buffets and frozen yogurt -- Achmed's campaign of hate turns into a patriotic AllAmerican lovefest.The phenomenal international success of Dunham and his cohorts have been driven by his Comedy Central specials,

The global TV event enjoyed a never-before simultaneous same day worldwide debut in a dozen countries. Dunham continued to break ratings records at the end of 2011, when The Bio Channel’s premiere of Jeff Dunham: “Birth of a Dummy” became the network’s top rated telecast ever.No wonder The New York Times Magazine declared Jeff Dunham “the most successful comedian working in America.” Dunham was recently named Pollstar ’s #1 Comedy Tour in North America for three years running as well as their Top Worldwide Tour for two years in a row.

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch (“Star Trek into the Darkness,” PBS’s “Sherlock”), "Jerusalem" gives audiences a rare glimpse of the ancient, storied city, as well as exclusive access to revered holy sites and little-known parts of the region—including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Dome of the Rock, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, and the mountain fortress of Masada. Filmmakers were granted special permission in the region’s strict no-fly zone, enabling them to capture the first-ever large format aerial images of the Old City and throughout the Holy Land.

Travel

For The Edge

Cast members at The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre in Branson visit with a fan.

The Shepherd of the Hills to travel a new path For The Edge After 54 incredible seasons in Branson, The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre will greet its final guests on October 19, 2013. Rising costs in insurance and production, the new health care mandate and declining crowds are to blame. During its peak in the 70’s and 80’s The Shepherd of the Hills performed to over 2,000 guests each night and most shows were sold out.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we make this difficult announcement,” said Gary and Pat Snadon, owners of the park. “We have had an incredible run. To all the loyal fans who have made our show a tradition for years, we sincerely thank you. To our wonderful cast and crew, many of whom have been with us for decades…there are no words. Past or present, The Shepherd of the Hills cast is a family and we love you and we appreciate your investment in this incredible production.”

The Shepherd of the Hills Homestead will still be preserved and maintained as a historical landmark. Tours of Old Matt’s Cabin, which is on the National Historic Registry, will still be available during the summer months. Inspiration Tower and the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider will be open year-round. The popular car show, Shepherd’s Super Summer Cruise, will go on as scheduled. And, during November and December the popular Trail of Lights Drive-Thru and Christmas on the Trail Chuckwagon Dinner Show will still operate normally.

The story really began, well…with a story. In 1907 The Shepherd of the Hills book was published. It was written by Christian minister Harold Bell Wright who had wandered into the Ozark hills headed for better weather for his ailing health.

When a flooded White River stopped his progress, he came upon a modest homestead owned by John and Anna Ross. He became so enamored with the people that he met that he began compiling notes for a book. Upon its release, The Shepherd of the Hills was an instant success and the first book in US history to sell over 1 million copies. Based on actual events, readers began flocking into the Ozark hills to see the places that Wright

so eloquently described. John and Anna Ross had become Old Matt and Aunt Mollie in Wright’s story, and Old Matt’s Cabin became an instant tourist attraction. So much so that John and Anna moved from their home to live the remainder of their days in nearby Garber, Missouri.

After their death a feisty young woman named Elizabeth McDaniels purchased the homestead. A wealthy banker’s daughter from Springfield, Missouri, “Miss Lizzie”, as she was known, loved the book. She lived in Old Matt’s Cabin for a time before having her home moved from Springfield to an area of the homestead not far from the cabin (today Miss Lizzie’s home houses the ticket office). Recognizing the public’s love of the story and interest in the history, she staged the first reenactments of The Shepherd of the Hills on the lawn of Old Matt’s Cabin in the early 1920’s. Miss Lizzie never had children, and upon her death she willed the entire homestead to the Branson Civic League.

Some years later Dr. Bruce and Mary Trimble purchased the homestead. In 1946 they opened Old Matt’s Barn to the public as a gift shop and in 1949 constructed a wooden tower on Inspiration Point. Dr. Trimble dreamed of an amphitheater carved into the wooded hillside near Old Matt’s grist mill, but sadly he died in 1957 before his dreams could become reality. The Trimble’s son, Mark, had left the area and was in the Air Force and had obtained a degree in meteorology and engineering. After his father’s death Mark returned to the homestead, originally intending to “clean up and sell the homestead”. However fate had other plans, and soon it was Mark who was making big plans for the future.

He joined forces with Lloyd Heller and Jim Collie to design and build the theatre and write the script. On August 6, 1960 the Old Mill Theatre welcomed its first guests. Things were not smooth sailing in the beginning. It wasn’t long before Paramount Pictures, who had purchased the stage and screen rights, sent a telegram demanding that production stop immediately. After a battle in which Dr. Clark with the School of the Ozarks got involved it was determined that the show

could, in fact, go on.

However the original threesome were at odds. Jim Collie left the production and Hal Meadows was brought in as director.

In 1966 Shad Heller left to begin the Corn Cobb Theatre on highway 76. It was that year that Mark says he knew he either had to “go all the way in or get out”. Fortunately, all the way in was his choice. That year they ran an aggressive television ad campaign and the theatre made a quantum leap in attendance.

Also in 1966 the Branson High School football coach was looking for a summer job, and was hired to play the role of the villainous Wash Gibbs. Gary Snadon played the role for 3 seasons before leaving to pursue other development opportunities in Branson, although Shepherd always remained close to his heart. When Mark Trimble called in 1985 to say he had decided to sell the homestead, Snadon jumped at the opportunity.

Today The Shepherd of the Hills is truly a family-run operation – Gary Snadon is very involved in the daily operation, his wife Pat is the design force behind the popular Trail of Lights Christmas experience, their youngest daughter, Sharena is the Marketing Director.

Through the years many changes and additions have been made to the historic homestead, but the simplicity and integrity of Wright’s immortal story remains the same.

The addition of the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider will bring an all-new thrill to the park. The amphitheater received a makeover in 2010 to celebrate its 50th anniversary with all new stadium seating. The actors and actresses now rely on a state-of-the-art sound system to clearly carry their lines rather than just “projection”, and the fight scene may be a little more choreographed than the all-out brawl some of the earlier performances were witness to, but there’s no doubt that The Shepherd of the Hills has found a way to transcend generations and is a vital part of the American tradition. After all, this much-loved attraction has already stood the test of time.

Zoo offers eco-friendly works of art Visitors to the Saint Louis Zoo can purchase a range of environmentally friendly products hand-crafted by artisans in developing nations across the globe.

Purchase of these products not only supports the Zoo’s conservation efforts, but it also helps eradicate poverty in developing countries.

“These eco-friendly products help eliminate wastes by repurposing recycled materials, and they help empower artists in developing nations, who can now provide for their families thanks to our visitors’ purchases,” says Tommy Brown, Zoo Gift Shop Manager/Buyer. He also serves as Vice President of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Buyers Group, representing over 350 zoo and aquarium buyers worldwide.

Conservation commerce sections of the Zoo’s Tree Top Shop in The

Living World, and Safari Gift Shop at the South Entrance, offer a range of interesting items for the home, personal accessories, collectibles, art, jewelry and much more.

• Metal sculptures in the shape of animals are made from wire recycled from snares once used to kill animals.

• Kenyan carvings are produced from sustainable, recycled materials that are harvested legally and in an ecologically friendly way.

• Elegant glass sun-catchers and figurines designed to capture nature’s marvels come from small studios in Ecuador. These and other glass pieces are made in part with recycled glass gathered in landfills to help protect children from broken glass as they hunt through these wastelands for aluminum and food scraps.

• Animal sculptures of rhinos, ostriches and giraffes are made by Indonesian and Kenyan artists using discarded plastic and soda cans.

• A u t o p a r t s a re t h e c o re component in hand-crafted Kenyan animal sculptures, with spark plugs and pieces of chain transformed into dragon flies, tarantulas and spiders.

• Intricate puzzle boxes are decorated with carved owls, elephants and penguins—all made from furniture scraps.

• Carved marble turtles come from enterprising artisans in Ecuador.

• Many handwoven baskets are

from The Blessing Basket Project, dedicated to helping artisans around the world become more financially independent.

• Accessories include elegant silk scarves and purses made from discarded saris in India; other bags are hand woven in Peru using natural plant fibers and chemicalfree dies.

• Repurposed plastic bottles have been transformed into a zippered child’s purse, while other handbags are created from computer key boards and pop tops.

• Jewelry made from tagua nuts helps artists avoid using elephant ivory and rainforest wood for their creations.

• And for something truly unique, the Zoo’s shops carry kinetic gear pendants made in the USA from renewable bamboo.Candy at the Zoo is almost entirely free of palm oil, which is causing the decline of animal and plant species in rainforests since massive trees and foliage are being cleared to make way for palm tree plantations.

Finally, water conservation is encouraged with the sale of refillable water bottles. The Zoo even sells Elephant Poo Paper made from elephant poop, which children and adults use for crafts, while helping preserve the endangered Asian Elephant.

The Zoo is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with free admission. For more information, visit www.stlzoo.org.

The Arts Artistic adventures Sheldon exhibit spotlights farm life The Sheldon Art Galleries presents Sandi Haber Fifield: Between Planting and Picking, now through January 4, 2014 in the Gallery of Photography.

Connecticut-based photographer Sandi Haber Fifield photographed family-owned farms across the United States from 2009 to 2010. Her lyrical images use the agricultural landscape to create a complex vocabulary of visual associations that speak equally about the humanity of these places and about artistic selfdiscovery. Haber writes: “I’m drawn to the authenticity of small farm life that congregates along the margins in myriad cast-off moments: sunlight on muslin seed bags, wooden crates, plastic mesh, buckets, pots, hoses, a lunar planting calendar, quirky signage. As I made more and more pictures, the candid beauty and improvised quality I discovered in the unkempt edges of these small farm environments became a focus.

I hope it is within the banal details, unsuspecting and unnoticed, that a narrative unfolds, showing the beauty in the randomness and the repurposing. To me, there is a metaphor in the unending cycle of growth and harvest for my own image making.”

Sandi Haber Fifield received her MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. She has widely exhibited her photographs in galleries throughout the United States and been included in exhibitions at museums such as The Art Institute of Chicago, The DeCordova Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, The Oakland Museum, The Southeast Museum of Photography and The St. Louis Museum. Her work is held in several private and public collections, including The Brooklyn Museum, The George Eastman House, The High Museum, The Library of Congress, The Los Angeles County Museum, The Museum of Modern Art and The New Britain Museum. In 2009 Charta published Haber Fifield’s first monograph of grids and multiple image installations, Walking through the World. Between Planting and Picking (also Charta), was released in March 2011. Additionally, Haber Fifield’s work has appeared in Fabrications: Staged, Altered, and Appropriated Photographs (Anne Hoy, Abbeville, 1988), Picturing California (Therese Heyman, Oakland Museum/ Chronicle Books, 1989), Defining Eye: Women Photographers of the 20th Century (Olivia Lahs-Gonzales, the Saint Louis Art Museum), The Photography of Invention (Joshua P. Smith, Merry Foresta (MIT Press) and her recently released monograph, After the Threshold (Kehrer Verlag, 2013, Vicki Goldberg, essayist). Sandi Haber Fifield’s work is represented in New York by Rick Wester Fine Art and in Boston by Gallery Kayafas.

The not-for-profit Sheldon Art Galleries exhibits works by local, national and international artists in all media. Over 6,000 square feet of the galleries’ spaces on the 2nd floor are permanently devoted to rotating exhibits of photography, architecture, jazz art and history, and children's art. A sculpture garden, seen from both the atrium lobby and the connecting glass bridge, features periodic rotations and installations, and the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery on the lower level features art of all media. The Sheldon actively supports the work of St. Louis

10

artists in all mediums and features a dedicated gallery with museumquality exhibits by St. Louis artists, past and present.

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. “Although the canvases are painted realistically, the flower is the starting point for an abstract study of the luminosity and transparency of the individual petal. I try to accomplish this through the 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.”

A public opening for the exhibit will take place from 3-6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. 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, professor of art, history and culture 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 campus in both the Templin Nursing 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.

Among Godfrey’s more notable exhibitions are one-woman shows at the Carnegie Museum of Natural

History in Pittsburgh, Penn., the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia, Penn., the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C., the Rahr-West Art Museum in Manitowoc, Wis., and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass.

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, 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.

For The Edge

AnDa Union

AnDa Union to appear at Washington University For The Edge Mongolia is a hard land, high and windy, cold except when hot, a place of extremes, of mountains and deserts, of lost empires and tough survivors.

It is also a land of rich musical traditions — stirring, demanding, infectious — that were all but lost amidst the tumult of China’s 20th century. But over the last decade, AnDa Union has helped lead the charge to rescue, revive and even expand indigenous Mongolian music.

On Sunday, Oct. 20, these 10 supremely versatile musical “blood brothers” (and sisters!) will bring the Music of Inner Mongolia to St. Louis as part of the Edison Ovations Series.

Tales of legend, tales of adventure Describing themselves as “musical gatherers,” the members of AnDa Union hail from China’s Xilingol grasslands and trained together in the “Blue City” of Hohhot, at the Inner Mongolia Ethnic Opera and Dance Theatre.

(Inner Mongolia is an autonomous region in western China. It borders “Outer Mongolia,” an area roughly

comprising the independent nation of Mongolia and the Russian Republic of Tuva.)

Though many of the performers are childhood friends, they represent distinct ethnic backgrounds, drawing music and songs—often passed down through their families— from all the Mongol tribes once unified by Genghis Khan.

Tales of love, legend and galloping adventure are presented in the ancient style of khoomii, or “throat singing,” in which the singer produces two or more notes simultaneously. The extended syllables of urtyn duu, or “long song,” capture the vastness of the Mongolian plateau.

Music is performed primarily on the morin huur, or “horse head fiddle,” a boxy two-stringed instrument somewhat akin to the cello. Other important instruments include the topshuur, a two-stringed plucked lute and the maodun chaoer, a three-holed flute.

Formed in 2003, AnDa Union was introduced to the west largely thanks to the documentary Anda Union: From The Steppes to the City (2011), which chronicles a 33-day journey of more than 10,000km. In 2012, they drew rave reviews for their breakthrough performance at the

Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The Guardian newspaper praised AnDa Union for its “stirring musical styles that should prove remarkably accessible to western audiences,” noting that “many of their melodies sound as sturdy as great Celtic folk themes.”

“Their opening number alone could have supplanted an entire old-fashioned BBC sound effects department,” added The Scotsman, “as they evoked wind-swept steppes, bird calls, ringing bells and, of course, the approaching thunder of hooves.”

Music of Inner Mongolia will begin at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20. Tickets are $36, or $32 seniors, $28 for Washington University faculty and staff and $20 for students and children.

Tickets are available at the Edison Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd.

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.

Music Tuning in

Rogers to appear at the Family Arena Kenny Rogers has already had a massive year in 2013, including the announcement of his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall. Rogers also performed on the main stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival to a colossal audience on the grounds and around the UK as it was televised on BBC. His Through The Years World Tour has included stops in Morocco, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, Canada and the U.S. This fall and winter, Rogers’ tour will roll on with more U.S. and Canadian dates, including the Christmas & Hits Through The Years Tour, his annual holiday performances, in late November and December. In addition, a novel Rogers co-wrote with Mike Blakely, What Are The Chances, is being released today (September 3rd) and Rogers’ New York Times Best Selling autobiography, Luck Or Something Like It, will be released in paperback on September 27th.

Rogers returns with You Can’t Make Old Friends on October 8th via Warner Bros. Records, proving – once again – that he still has plenty to say. The album reunites Rogers with long-time friend and collaborator, Dolly Parton, for a brand new duet on the title track, “You Can’t Make Old Friends.” It was thirty years ago almost to the day when Kenny and Dolly released “Islands In The Stream,” which went on to become an instant classic and

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.

Religion Countries impose restrictions on veils NEW YORK (AP) – Many countries and courts have taken action over the past decade to regulate, restrict or ban the use of Muslim veils and headscarves in public.

Here is a look at the issue around the world: • BRITAIN: There are no laws restricting the use of Muslim veils. But a London judge this week ordered a defendant on trial for witness intimidation to remove her niqab when testifying, so that he and the jury could see her as she answered questions. Judge Peter Murphy also called on the government to draft a law making it illegal for witnesses to cover their faces in court.

• FRANCE AND BELGIUM: In April 2011, France became the first European nation to ban the public use of veils, both face-covering niqabs and full-body burqas. A 2004 law also bans Muslim hijab headscarves and other prominent religious symbols from being worn in state schools, but does not apply in universities. Belgium followed France in banning the wearing of niqabs and burqas in public in July 2011.

• ITALY: Since the 1970s Italian law has forbidden the covering of the face in public. Governments have repeatedly d i s c u s s e d e x t e n d i n g t h e p ro v i s i o n t o impose special penalties on Muslim face coverings, but such laws are not enforced nationally.

• G E R M A N Y: H a s n o n a t i o n a l l a w restricting the wearing of Muslim veils, but the federal constitutional court in 2003 ruled that state governments could impose such restrictions on school teachers. Half of Germany's 16 state governments today outlaw the wearing of both headscarves and veils by teachers. In 2011, Hesse became the first German state to forbid all civil servants to wear Muslim headscarves or veils.

• S PA I N : S i n c e 2 0 1 0 m o r e t h a n a dozen cities passed laws outlawing the wearing of niqabs and burqas in public.

But Spain's Supreme Court in February 2013 threw out these ordinances as unconstitutional.

• NETHERLANDS: The country's previous center-right coalition had planned

to ban the public donning of niqabs and burqas, but that bill was shelved in 2012 when the government collapsed and was replaced by left-wing rivals.

• CANADA: In 2011 the government made it illegal for women to wear face-covering garments at citizenship ceremonies, because the judge must be able to see each person's face reciting their oath. In 2012 the Supreme Court issued a rare split decision on whether women could cover their faces on the witness stand; four judges said it depended on the circumstances, two said witnesses should never cover their face, and one said a Muslim witness should n e v e r b e o rd e re d t o re m o v e h e r v e i l .

The provincial government of Frenchspeaking Quebec this year has proposed a law that would outlaw all religious regalia — including Muslim scarves and veils, turbans, Jewish skullcaps and Christian crucifixes — from state buildings.

• U N I T E D S TAT E S : A m e r i c a h a s no laws restricting the use of veils or

headscarves because it conflicts with constitutional rights to freedom of speech. In 2009 President Barack Obama s a i d i n a C a i ro s p e e c h d i re c t e d a t a Muslim audience that Western nations should "avoid dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear" because it reflected innate hostility to Islam.

• TURKEY: Islamic-style headscarves and full robes are banned in schools and in government offices. A similar ban for university students was relaxed.

• TUNISIA: Headscarves and full veils are banned from public buildings and schools. After the longtime president was ousted in a popular revolt in 2011, some Islamist protesters have demanded that the rules be relaxed.

• S Y R I A : I n 2 0 11 , S y r i a n P re s i d e n t Bashar Assad reversed a decision that bans teachers from wearing the niqab. The move was seen as an attempt to appease religious conservatives in the Sunni majority as he faced down the uprising challenging his authoritarian rule. The government had banned the veil in July 2010.

"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 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.”

RUNNING TIME: : 93 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: No ranking.

"Don Jon"

Jon Martello’s relentless libido has a comic math to it.

At the club, Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his pals rate girls on a scale of one to “a dime.” He keeps a weekly tally of both his conquests and his far more numerous — and to him more rewarding — porn-aided masturbations. And being a good Catholic boy, every Sunday, he counts up his sins and receives back from the priest his neat sum of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. (He recites them while working out.)

His life is a circle of replenishing lust, a ritual of superficial pleasure that adds up to robotic emptiness. Some like it hot; Jon (“Don,” as in Don Juan, to his friends) needs it hot.

Even his most attractive catches leave him unsatisfied, and he sneaks out of bed to his laptop. Real sex doesn’t measure up to the fantasy of online pornography that lets him “lose himself.”

But “Don Jon,” the writing-directing debut of GordonLevitt, equals something quite substantial: a speedy little comedy about not just sex addiction but modern lives wasted on shallow gratification. There are other contemporary cravings, too: A big-screen TV dominates family meals at his parents’ house (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly shouting back-and-forth like a sitcom couple), where Jon’s younger sister (Brie Larson) pecks away at her smartphone.

Jon’s compulsive routine (echoing the “gym-tanlaundry” of “the Situation” from “The Jersey Shore,” a clear inspiration) is broken when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson, in full sex bomb). She requires the “long game” of dating and family-meeting before sleeping with Jon, but he judges her worth it. Their first date is a sparring match of Jersey accents, a dueling “Saturday Night Live” sketch.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong graphic sexual material and dialogue throughout, nudity, language and some drug use.”

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2"

It’s not too much of a spoiler to tell you that, because without the FLDSMDFR, more precisely known as the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, there would hardly be reason for a sequel to the sweet and entertaining 2009 family film, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

And if “Cloudy 2,” which ups the zany quotient in the continued adventures of Flint and his food-producing FLDSMDFR (we just love the name, so we’ll keep saying it) lacks the heart and fresh feel of the original, it almost makes up for it in gorgeous, color-popping visuals and in its most important new creation: the Foodimals.

Like we said, almost.

But first, what are Foodimals? Your kids probably know already, and pretty soon, they’re gonna be asking for their Foodimals multivitamins. So you’d better educate yourself.

Watermelephants. Bananostriches. Shrimpanzees.

Tacodiles. Cheesepiders. Yes, the remnants of FLDSMDFR’s food storm have turned into living things.

To recap, at the end of the last movie, Flint (voiced by Bill Hader) had saved the world by heroically deactivating his over-performing FLDSMDFR, with the help of his brainy

October 10, 2013

friend and sort-of love interest, Sam (Anna Faris), and others including “Baby” Brent (Andy Samberg), loyal monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and Flint’s dad Tim (James Caan).

The sequel, directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, begins precisely eight minutes later, with Flint’s Swallow Falls facing a huge cleanup job from that giant storm created by, yup, the FLDSMDFR. Or, in one of the first of the movie’s many, many puns: a disaster “of epic portions.”

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “mild rude humor.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Runner Runner"

A story like that at the heart of “Runner Runner,” about a young American gambler who gets sucked way above his head into the criminal doings of a big-time offshore operator, would have found its ideal life as a tough, punchy, black-andwhite programmer back in the 1950s. Today, it would have been most viable as a grandiose character study done on an operatic scale by a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. What’s actually up onscreen in this vaguely ambitious but tawdry melodrama falls into an in-between no man’s land that endows it with no distinction whatsoever, a work lacking both style and insight into the netherworld it seeks to reveal. Despite an intriguing setup and Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake heading the cast, this Fox release holds a losing box-office hand.

The opening of the script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (“Solitary Man,” “Oceans 13”) combines with Timberlake’s presence to suggest a somewhat less exceptional variation on “The Social Network’s” focus on maverick entrepreneurialism in the Ivy League. Threatened with expulsion from Princeton unless he shuts down his online gambling site, finance grad student Richie Furst (Timberlake), with nothing now to lose, heads for Costa Rica determined to stick it to the undisputed king of computer gambling, Ivan Black (Affleck).

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

RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: No ranking.

"Gravity"

In an age when we’re able to consume content so many different ways — and that’s a good thing, mostly — let’s declare right now that there’s only one truly correct way to experience “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuaron’s thrilling new space film.

In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D. Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers — we hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to see in 3-D. And please, no matter how many months or years pass, don’t watch this film on your little smartphone.

If you’ve seen the heart-pounding trailer, you’ll know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts who experience a traumatic accident in space. You may also know about the extraordinary special effects used to create this weightless cinematic world — so extraordinary that many are calling the film a landmark of the sci-fi genre.

But what you can’t know, until you’re in the theater, is just how much you’ll feel like you’re up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how you might let yourself forget, momentarily, that this movie wasn’t shot on location. And how you’ll ask yourself, how did they DO this?

And how you’ll then forget the question, because you’ll be caught up once again in this 90-minute thrill ride.

GRAVITY: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language.”

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.

This film image released by Relativity Media shows Tony Danza, left, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a scene from "Don Jon".

Gordon-Leavitt kicks it up a notch

BY JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — When Joseph GordonLevitt was 12 years old and shooting “Angels in the Outfield,” one of his co-stars, Tony Danza, asked him if he’d like to hang out during some down time.

“No,” replied the boy, who had more serious plans. “I have to go follow the director around.”

Danza breaks into laughter telling the story, because it’s that same ambitious youngster, now 32, who’s given him his latest movie job.

Danza plays the father in “Don Jon,” GordonLevitt’s directorial debut. Which he also wrote.

And stars in.

“What can I say? He’s a guy with a strong vision, and real self-assuredness,” Danza says.

“I’m really proud of the kid.”

You can forgive Danza for calling his director a “kid.” Because, despite his long resume, which includes working with some

of Hollywood’s top filmmakers in movies like “Inception” and “The Dark Knight Rises” (Christopher Nolan) and “Lincoln” (Steven Spielberg), Gordon-Levitt still looks in many ways like, well, a kid. Just like the kid (er, alien posing as one) he played on “3rd Rock From the Sun,” with a boyish face that, if not grinning, always looks like it’s about to.

Which is one reason audiences may be surprised at the choice he made for his debut: a dark, edgy comedy about porn addiction — a film that had to be carefully edited to avoid an NC-17 rating. Not only is “Don Jon” not a safe, traditional romantic comedy, it’s a movie that provocatively suggests that those romantic comedies are just as addictive and destructive to real relationships as porn.

But if you think tackling such a heavy subject — and in such a high-profile way — made Gordon-Levitt even a little insecure or nervous, think again. Talk about self-assured: We’re quite sure he’s one of the only movie stars to invoke the name of late philosopher

Martin Buber while promoting a film.

“I can’t say I’ve read all of Buber,” GordonLevitt confesses in an interview. “But he talks about the ‘thou’ vs. the ‘it.’ And that’s the crux of Don Jon: he’s a guy who sees everything, even people, as an ‘it,’ not a ‘you.’ Don Jon objectifies everything in his life — his car, his apartment, women of course, his family, even his friends.”

Obviously, the intensely likable GordonLevitt — like Hugh Jackman, he’s virtually impossible NOT to like — wasn’t afraid to take on an unappealing character. He plays Jon Martello, a New Jersey gym rat with bulging biceps, shiny hair full of “product,” a smooth way of getting the ladies to bed, and, most of all, an addiction to Internet porn. Many scenes are devoted to Jon’s pleasuring himself in front of a laptop.

Of course, there’s more to the story: through relationships with two key women, the film explores just what men and women should expect from each other. Scarlett Johansson

plays Jon’s dream girl — a “dime,” he says in his crass 1-10 rating system. Julianne Moore is the quirky, blunt older woman he meets in night school.

The mere fact that on a low budget — “onehundredth of a ‘Batman’ budget,” he says — Gordon-Levitt was able to secure such a high-powered cast is a tribute to his growing clout and his network of friends. He wrote the part of Barbara with Johansson in mind, and she was one of the first to read the script.

As for “Boogie Nights” star Moore, her first thought was, “Ugh, porn!”

“But then I realized it wasn’t about porn at all,” she says. “It’s a film about a personal ideology, that real life and authenticity are the most important things. I think he had something really important to say about how people are defined by things.”

Ask Gordon-Levitt if he ever doubted that he could, or would, serve as directorwriter-star of “Don Jon,” and his answer is disarmingly succinct: “Nope!”

"Thanks for Sharing" runs a little bland

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I felt bad laughing at some of the funnier moments during my show of "Thanks for Sharing" last night. The topic of the movie is pretty serious - all of the main characters are going through various 12-step programs to battle their demons over alcohol, drugs, and sex addiction. When I first saw the promos for the film I knew that it wasn't going to be the most in-depth or down-and-dirty look at dependency. I mean, heck, it stars Josh Gad, the It Generation answer to George Costanza.

H e ' s c h u b b y, m i l d l y p a t h e t i c , and a real sad sack.

Also, totally sanitized for your protection. He even makes

a serial pervert seem timidly heroic. Unlike other pop culture elements that better depict the downright horror of addiction ("Shame," "A Million Little Pieces," even "Trainspotting"), Thanks for Sharing is a tad lame...even with some big name stars attached. So, as it turns out, I probably shouldn't have felt so self-conscious last night.

There were only five other viewers in the audience.

Gad's Neil is really only one of three focal points in this elaborate indie. His recovery buddy is Dede (played by pop star Pink, billed as Alecia Moore) and her work is u n s u n g a n d i m p re s s i v e g i v e n my previous estimation of her skills. Neil's nervous first-time sponsor, Adam (Mark Ruffalo), is the main star of the film. He's

in the thick of celebrating his five years of sobriety by learning to date again and continuing to mentor new members of his anonymous meetings.

P h o e b e ( G w y n e t h P a l t ro w ) i s his first real relationship since prostitutes, pornography, and a slew of one-night stands threw his life into complete disarray.

Phoebe's no saint either. Her bout with breast cancer has left her with a painful chip on her shoulder that quickly carries over into her new love life.

She's also highly skeptical when Adam finally admits his disease. " I s s e x a d d i c t i o n e v e n re a l ? " , she asks, "I mean, isn't that just what guys say when they get caught cheating?"

I t ' s v e r y re a l , o r s o c l a i m s Adam's own sponsor, Mike (Tim Robbins, starring in his first

f e a t u re d r a m a i n f i v e y e a r s ) .

Mike is a long-time addict. He's suffered everything from the lure of pills to the charm of bourbon.

His life is now designed around helping others through the constant flow of AA meetings and sobriety seminars. He even helps recovered alcoholics (like cameo player Isiah Whitlock, Jr. of TV's The Wire) get work in his contracting business. Mike may never consider himself clear of the on-going battle he fights with his vices. Even his loving wife (Joley Richardson), whom he infected with Hepatitis C, is a constant reminder of his failures earlier in life. The real reason that Mike continues to fail, though, is that he won't overcome the grief at failing to prevent his adult son (Patrick Fugit) from continuing to

October 10, 2013

relapse with cocaine. The two love each other very much, but a re a l s o t o o p ro u d a n d s t o i c to admit their faults to one another.

"Thanks for Sharing" is just a little bland given its subject matter.

But for supporting character Becky (Emily Meade), and a truly overreaching mother to Neil (played by Carol Kane), this would be a movie that I would quickly forget. It just didn't break out of its shell and get behind the nuts and bolts of what makes addicts use, a subject that is immensely vast and full of potential.

"Thanks for Sharing" runs 11 2 m i n u t e s a n d i s r a t e d R f o r language, thematic content concerning addiction, nudity, and some strong sexual content. I give this film one star out of four.

Double Tap Bar and Grill worth a visit

By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge Recently I got a hankering for an Illinois original entreé — the horseshoe.

I decided what better way to appease my indulgences by putting my dining adventure on paper. My establishment of choice to try one of these monstrosities out was Double Tap Bar and Grill in Troy.

Double Tap is located at 917 Edwardsville Rd. in Troy, near the junction of I-55 and Rt. 162. The building has been there for awhile, but proprietors Kreg and Shannon Schneider just opened the doors of Double Tap in July.

It’s a smaller building and you can’t miss the green siding and yellow trim on the outside. Once inside, you find an L-shaped bar, a smattering of high tables, a jukebox and a couple pool tables — nothing fancy — but once you ask for a menu you can see what Double Tap is all about.

Don’t expect to be a champion on The Biggest Loser after visiting Double Tap, especially with its all-star portion of the menu, the horseshoes.

It is said the horseshoe originated in Springfield in the late 1920s and has been able to be found throughout southern Illinois ever since. It is an open faced sandwich kicked off most commonly with a couple pieces of Texas Toast, then piled high with hamburger, french fries and cheese.

There are of course variations to this monster creation. Some places use chicken, pork tenderloins, ham or fish instead of hamburger and there can be other ingredients like onion rings, fried pickles or cheese sticks thrown in for fun. This bad boy may have you deviate from your diet a little bit, but hey, you have to splurge on occasion.

You know the old saying, “Go big or go home.” So I decided to go big. I went with the namesake at Double Tap, the Double Tap Shoe. This gargantuan included Texas Toast topped with two quarter pound hamburger patties, bacon and fries smothered in a cheese sauce, and then as an added bonus, topped

with fried pickles, freshly chopped onion and chili.

When it arrived I took a deep breath because I knew I was in for a 15-round slobber knocker that might put me on my butt. Within the first bite I knew it was going to be worth it though.

The great thing about eating a horseshoe is the layers — it’s like a surprise in every bite.

One bite would include a fried pickle, some onion, cheese and chili while the next might wow my palate with bacon, burger and fries and of course cheese and chili. Whatever it was, it all merged together for a cavalcade of goodness.

I couldn’t complain. The Double Tap Shoe was delicious, but if you’re there with a

significant other I suggest sharing. I went with my buddy John, my cousin Brandon and his girlfriend Sammie and that’s exactly what Brandon and Sammie did — shared their Double Tap Shoe.

I heard Adam Richman use the expression food drunk on Man vs. Food and I think I now understand after battling my mammoth opponent. But, I can boastfully say while the Double Tap Shoe staggered me I didn’t go down for the count. I finished my plate to the amazement of the rest of my dinner party. The amazing taste of this masterpiece was enough to drive me to glory.

Double Tap has plenty more to offer than the Double Tap Shoe though. A quick rundown of their menu showcases some

October 10, 2013

pretty unique choices like the one John ordered. John strayed from the horseshoe section and went with the peanut butter brunch burger. Yes, I said it, peanut butter.

The peanut butter brunch burger is a half pound hamburger topped with peanut butter, bacon and a scrambled egg on texas toast. John was more than satisfied, saying the peanut butter simply gave everything else a creamy taste, but did not overwhelm the other ingredients. I’ll have to find out for myself on my next visit.

There are some other unique menu items to chose from, too. On the horseshoe portion there is the wild bird shoe which intrigued me. It is buffalo chicken strips, fries and jalapeño poppers blanketed in cheese and served on Texas Toast. There is the shroom and swiss shoe also, a half pound burger, portabella mushrooms, grilled onions, swiss cheese and fries and covered in the signature cheese sauce.

Venturing from the horseshoes, there is the cheesey pig and cow, a half pound burger topped with melted American cheese, thin sliced ham, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato and pickle. Another sandwich that caught my eye was the chicken parmesan sandwich which is two chicken strips and three mozzarella sticks smothered in marinara sauce and served on grilled garlic Texas Toast.

You can also order more traditional items like a regular hamburger, grilled cheese, a BLT, a turkey club and chicken strips. There is also a salad portion on the menu and wings section. There are appetizers too, like: fried mushrooms, fried pickles, fried green beans and beer battered onion rings to name a few.

Double Tap is still in its infancy, so the menu is getting tweaked and evolved all of the time so don’t be surprised to see some more mastermind creations show up in the future.

I guess you will have to visit Double Tap to see what will be conjured up in the labratory next. I know I will, because it’s a great place to go when you gotta eat.

Poe's Tavern, a restaurant on Sullivans Island, S.C., is seen on Sept. 12.

Discover a wealth of flavors in South Carolina

By BRUCE SMITH Associated Press S U L L I VA N S I S L A N D , S . C .

(AP) — While nearby Charleston, S.C. is famous for dozens of fine restaurants, for a change of pace try the restaurant district on nearby Sullivans Island. The downtown of the quiet barrier island offers everything from an Irish pub to Mexican and barbecue. And then there’s the seafood.

The district is clustered in a three-block area on this island of expensive beach homes and weathered bungalows.

There’s something for every taste.

Dunleavy’s Pub is a traditional Irish pub where Boston Red Sox fans will feel right at home. Poe’s Tavern, a great place for burgers and beer, is named after writer Edgar Allen Poe, who was once stationed at Fort Moultrie on the island.

There are Home Team BBQ and Taco Mamacita — the names say it all — and SALT, with its signature seafood and raw bar.

Then there is Sullivan’s, a seafood restaurant that opened just before Hurricane Hugo hit in 1989. The owners rebuilt and Sullivan’s has been a tradition for island visitors and locals alike for a quarter century.

“We’re a family restaurant and we don’t try to do anything more or anything less. We’re serving the best seafood we can,” said Sammy Rhodes, 51, who runs Sullivan’s with his sister Donna Rhodes Hiott and other family members.

They include his 80-year-old mother Joyce Rhodes, who still greets diners at Sunday brunch and comes by several times a week to help, including dusting off the colorful paintings of island homes that adorn the walls.

Sullivan’s uses old family recipes — those for the fish breading and she crab suit are closely guarded secrets. Shrimp and fried grits, stuffed flounder and the seven-layer

seafood casserole are among the most popular dishes. The cocktail sauce and salad dressings are fresh, not from a bottle, and the homemade Key lime pie is a signature of Sullivan’s.

Donna Rhodes Hiott says patrons see it as their restaurant.

“We took red rice off the menu and put in macaroni and cheese and I heard about it all summer because people come in here for the rice. So it’s back on,” she laughed.

And just about everyone buys one of Sullivan’s T-shirts adorned with the crescent and palmetto tree that is on the South Carolina state flag.

Sammy Rhodes said he’s seen people wearing the shirts in other

Dining Delights A baked-apple treat for the pastry-impaired

By SARA MOULTON Associated Press It’s apple season again, one of the few times of the year I’m sorry I live in the city, without a ca r. I f o n l y I l i v e d n e a r a n orchard, I’d pick my own apples and be happy.

I console myself with the varieties now gracing the city’s farmers markets. It used to be that we’d have to be content with a strictly limited roster: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Macintosh.

The end. These days, thanks to a d v e n t u ro u s f a r m e r s a n d t h e resurgence of all kinds of apple varieties, there’s a ton of exciting choices.

This abundance practically begs you to assemble the filling for this baked apple treat from a mix of different apples rather than from a single type. Just be sure to taste the candidates before you start cooking to get a fix on what each one will bring to the table. Is it honey-like? Puckerytart? Intense? Wine-y? Once you know, you can compose your own line-up.

Actually, if by chance you have a little extra time, you should try cooking each variety separately, then tasting it, because the taste a n d t e x t u re o f a g i v e n a p p l e can change significantly when cooked.

I added dried apricots to the apples for contrast. I love the tartness of dried apricots, particularly California apricots.

Turkish apricots, the other choice, are quite sweet, not as bright and sunny. Or, if you’d prefer some other kind of dried fruit — cherries, raisins, cranberries or dried plums (otherwise known as prunes) — swap out the apricots for your favorite.

The only other flavors in the filling are sugar and lemon juice.

Yo u m a y n e e d t o a d j u s t t h e amounts of these two ingredients slightly depending on the sweetness of the apples.

This kind of dessert — baked fruit with some kind of crust — happens to be my favorite. But crusts can be tricky, particularly pie dough. So this recipe is for the pastry-impaired. Instead of pie dough, we use French toast.

Everyone can make French toast, even little kids.

Testing this recipe was a real learning experience for me. I discovered that if I didn’t bake the apple/apricot mixture long enough before adding the French toast topping, the apples wouldn’t become tender and give up their juice. I was suddenly reminded o f c o o k i n g w i t h m u s h ro o m s , which are so dry that they stick to the skillet when you first throw them in. A couple minutes later, though, the floodgates open and out pours the liquid.

For this filling, then, you should test the tenderness of the baked apples by piercing them with a paring knife, and check to see if there’s juice in the pan.

Then you can top it off with the soaked bread.

Finally, I’ve billed this beauty as a dessert, but it would shine just a s b r i g h t l y a s b ru n c h o n Saturday or Sunday.

BAKED APPLES AND APRICOTS WITH FRENCH TOAST CRUST Start to finish: 1 hour 25

minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 6 3 to 4 apples, peeled, cored, quartered and sliced 1/4-inch thick (6 cups) 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided 1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/3 cup low-fat milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4 slices whole-wheat bread, crusts discarded, cut in half Low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt (optional) Heat the oven to 400 F. In an 8-inch square baking dish, toss the apples with 1/3 cup of the sugar, the apricots and lemon juice. Cover with foil and bake on the oven’s middle shelf for 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract.

When the apples have baked, remove the foil. Dip the bread halves in the egg mixture and arrange them in a single layer over the apples, cutting the bread as necessary to cover all of the apples. If there is any egg mixture l e f t , p o u r i t o v e r t h e b re a d .

Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar, then bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve right away, topped with a small scoop of the vanilla frozen yogurt, if desired.

Clancy remembered for military thrillers LOS ANGELES (AP) — With CIA analyst Jack Ryan, Tom Clancy created a character that spoke to audiences from both page and screen, representing the changing mood of a country facing growing geopolitical challenges.

“Thrillers, like all art, are always a reflection of the culture,” said fellow author Brad Meltzer. “No one captured that Cold War fear — and that uniquely American perspective— like Clancy. Jack Ryan wasn’t just a character. He was us.

He was every American in those days when we were a push-of-thebutton away from nuclear war.”

Clancy brought such realism and attention to detail to his novels that in 1985, a year after the Cold War thriller “The Hunt for Red October” came out, a military official suspected the author of having access to classified material.

The best-selling novelist, who died Tuesday in Baltimore at 66, insisted then, and after, that his information was strictly unclassified: books, interviews and papers that

were easily obtained. Also, two submarine officers reviewed the final manuscript.

Government officials may have worried how Clancy knew that a Russian submarine spent only about 15 percent of its time at sea or how many Seahawk missiles it carried. But his extreme attention to technical detail and accuracy earned him respect inside the intelligence community and beyond.

It also helped make Clancy the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, one who seemed to capture a shift in the country’s mood away from the CIA misdeeds that were exposed in the 1970s to the heroic feats of Jack Ryan.

Fans couldn’t turn the pages fast enough and a number of his thrillers, including “The Hunt for Red October,” ‘’Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger,” were made into blockbuster movies, with another Jack Ryan film set for release on Christmas Day. “Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer,”

Reagan as a Christmas gift. The president quipped at a dinner that he was losing sleep because he couldn’t put the book down — a statement Clancy later said helped put him on the New York Times best-seller list.

“What happened to me was pure dumb luck. I’m not the new Hemingway,” Clancy later said in an interview with the American Movie Channel.

“Of course, fortune does favor the brave. In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line. What I did was take time away from how I earned my living.

My wife gave me hell. ‘Why are you doing this?’ But she doesn’t complain anymore.”

Clancy said his dream had been simply to publish a book, hopefully a good one, so that he would be in the Library of Congress catalog. His dreams were answered many times over, with worldwide sales of his books estimated to exceed 100 million copies.

Clancy once said. “I think about the characters I’ve created, and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There’s a lot of subconscious thought that goes on.”

A tall, trim figure given to wearing sunglasses that made him look like a fighter pilot, Clancy had such a sure grasp of defense technology and spycraft that many readers were convinced he served in the military.

But his experience was limited to ROTC classes in college. Nearsightedness kept him out of active duty.

In 1982, he began working on “The Hunt for Red October,” drawing inspiration from a real-life 1975 mutiny aboard a Soviet missile frigate. He sold the manuscript to the first publisher he tried, the Naval Institute Press, which had never bought original fiction. In real life, the mutiny was put down, but in Clancy’s book, a Soviet submarine skipper hands his vessel over to the U.S. and defects.

Someone thought enough of the novel to give it to President Ronald

Fall Open House

Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford have all played Jack Ryan on screen and “Jack Ryan: Shadow One” is set to open on Christmas Day, starring Chris Pine as Ryan.

Clancy wasn’t always happy about the movie versions of his books. He complained that Ford was too old to play Jack Ryan, and he regretted the lack of creative control, saying: “Giving your book to Hollywood is like turning your daughter over to a pimp.”

Clancy started off writing about the Russians, but also told stories of Latin American drug cartels, Irish-British tensions and Islamic terrorism. He wrote nonfiction works on the military and ventured into video games, with a number of best-selling titles.

His recent Jack Ryan novels were collaborations with Mark Greaney, including “Threat Vector” and a release scheduled for December, “Command Authority.” As of midday Wednesday, “Command Authority” was No. 35 on Amazon’s best-seller list.
