People SIUE's Arts & Issues to welcome author Rosalind Wiseman

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge R o s a l i n d Wi s e m a n , a u t h o r of "Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World," the best-selling book that was the basis for the movie "Mean Girls," will be presenting "Owning Up: Creating a Culture of Dignity in Your School and Community" for the next SIUE Arts & Issues program. The presentation begins at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 20 in the Meridian Ballroom of the Morris University Center.

A professional speaker and writer on bullying, ethical leadership and the use of social media, Wiseman draws from reallife scenarios to help people to shift the way they think about children and teens' emotional and physical well-being.

Wi s e m a n e x p l a i n s o n h e r website about her first mean girls experience she had in sixth grade after her family had moved to another state. "I grew up in Washington, D.C., with my younger brother and sister and went to my local public school, John Eaton, until fifth grade," she states on her website. "When I was 11, we moved to Pittsburgh for my father’s work. Although I certainly had the occasional problem with my friends in Washington, being the new kid in sixth grade at an all girls school (where I had to wear a green and white striped uniform) proved to be very challenging.

That’s where I truly had my first mean girl experiences."

Wiseman's family moved back to Washington the following year. She graduated from Occidental College in Los Angeles with a political science degree and then returned to the D.C. area.

She had just earned her first degree black belt in Karate before moving back home and was asked to teach a group of high school girls self-defense. "I thought, why not?" she states on her website. "I immediately loved the work. I loved seeing what teaching girls how to take care of their bodies did to their self-confidence."

"But teaching girls brought up a lot of questions for me," she noted.

"Why were girls so quick to doubt their abilities and where did boys fit into these issues? Here comes the truly miraculous part: For some reason, there were schools who let me (a then-23 year old with almost no teaching experience) work with their students. For the next eight years I worked in the D.C.-area in private schools, public schools, teen/ parent homes – anywhere teens were – and developed a curriculum called Owning Up that I now teach to educators all over the world. It’s truly amazing how it has turned out."

In 2012, Wiseman, her husband and two sons, who are now in fifth and seventh grade, moved to Boulder, Colo. She points out that she continues to experience many of the same parenting challenges that she writes about. "Though my work is hard and I can be overwhelmed by the difficulties people share with me, I am tremendously grateful that I have the privilege to do what I love and feel appreciated for my efforts,"

For The Edge

Author Rosalind Wiseman will appear at SIUE on Nov. 20. she said.

Wiseman’s other publications include "Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads" which addresses the social hierarchies and conflicts among parents. In addition, she has published the young adult novel, "Boys, Girls & Other Hazardous Materials."

Her Owning Up curriculum is a comprehensive social justice program for grades six through 12, and she also writes the monthly “Ask Rosalind” column in "Family Circle" magazine.

Her latest books, "Masterminds & Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-

Room Tests, Girlfriends," and the "New Rules of Boy World" were published in September, 2013. She also wrote a free companion e-book for high school boys, entitled, "The Guide: Managing Douchebags, Recruiting Wingmen, and Attracting Who You Want" and a school edition entitled, "The Guide: Managing Jerks, Recruiting Wingmen, and Attracting Who You Want."

Wiseman was one of the principal speakers at the White House Summit on Bullying. Other audiences have included the American School Counselors Association, International Chiefs of Police, American Association of School

Administrators, and countless schools throughout the U.S. and abroad. She is a consultant for Cartoon Network’s Speak Up, Stop Bullying Campaign and an advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.

"Each year Wiseman works with tens of thousands of students, educators, parents, counselors, coaches, and administrators to create communities based on the belief that each person has a responsibility to treat themselves and others with dignity," Wiseman's website states.

People People planner OMNIMAX film captures unseen world

A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the Unseen World, an original production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker.

Created by an award-winning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) a n d L i s a Tr u i t t ( “ M y s t e r i e s o f E g y p t ” ) a n d d i re c t e d b y Louis S c h w a rt z b erg (“ D i s n e y Nature: Wings of Life”). Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret w o r l d o f n a t u re , e v e n t s a n d breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the Saint Louis Science Center. “Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum—the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more.

TOO SLOW:

Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u re mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive. The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food.

On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity.

TOO FAST: High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky.

TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times—revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful.

Guess which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more!

Mysteries of the Unseen World then moves from the familiar events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself.

The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nanoscience and potential innovations in nanotechnology. In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual atoms of the DNA. Tickets are on sale at the Saint L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. P l e a s e visit slsc.org or call 314.289.4424

"Fury"

The relentless barrage of heavy-handedness in David Ayer's World War II tank drama "Fury" begins immediately. A lone horseman approaches on the grim horizon of a foggy, corpsestrewn battlefield. Out of the muck leaps a man who pulls the rider down and savagely bludgeons him in the eye.

Ayer, a veteran of the Navy and L.A. crime films like "Training Day" and "End of Watch," wants to make it clear from the start that he's making a film about the barbaric brutality of war. Setting it in April 1945 in the waning days of WWII in Europe only furthers the point that all war — even the supposedly "good" ones — is hell.

Into Germany rumbles Sgt. Don Collier (Brad Pitt) and his M4 Sherman tank. With "Fury" blazed on its gun and a claustrophobic warren of bickering soldiers within, the tank is a killing machine, as are its hardened inhabitants. The cast — Shia LaBeouf as the gunner, Jon Bernthal as the loader, Michael Pena as the driver — work to show the darkness that has settled behind their eyes after years of war.

Good and bad — the usual battle lines of most WWII tales — isn't the dichotomy of "Fury." A far cry from his debonair "Inglourious Basterds" Nazi-hunter, Pitt's commander is a tough, even cruel boss (and the eye-stabber of the opening).

"We're not here for right and wrong," says Pitt. "We're here to kill."

Such bleak, unnatural mantras are occasionally spouted by Collier and his crew. The tank, a kind of a roaming lone wolf after its platoon is decimated, is joined by a new recruit, a fresh-faced, ill-prepared typist named Norman (Logan Lerman).

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

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

"White Bird in a Blizzard"

By now, there should be no question in anyone's mind that Shailene Woodley is an actress on a rapid-fire journey to stardom. She's enchanted us in enough films — "The Descendants," ''The Spectacular Now," ''The Fault in Our Stars" — that one less-than-stellar film won't alter her upward trajectory.

Which is good, because "White Bird in a Blizzard" doesn't do her many favors.

Actually, let's amend that — those Woodley fans who are excited about the news that she sheds some clothes here will probably not care a whit about whether the film meets its lofty artistic goals.

As for the rest of us, well, it's not that Woodley herself disappoints — as usual, she's fresh, natural and always interesting to watch — but the film is such an uncomfortable oddity that its overall weirdness ultimately swallows her up a bit, too.

There's a kernel of something tantalizing in "White Bird," writer-director Gregg Araki's highly stylized adaptation of the YA novel by Laura Kasischke about a teen girl discovering herself emotionally and sexually amid some serious family trauma. And few actors portray the awkwardness of teen self-discovery — and sometimes its grace — as well as Woodley.

But there's a fine line between stylized and campy, and Araki defiantly crosses it, in any number of cringe-in-yourseat, can-you-believe-this-dialogue, my-gosh-that-feelsfake moments. The voiceover narration is also particularly clunky.

"Nightcrawler"

ASSOCIATED PESS RANKING: Not ranked

The most frightening thing about Jake Gyllenhaal in "Nightcrawler" — even more than those sallow, sunken cheeks, those googly eyes, and that unkempt hair tied into a greasy bun — is his smile.

They invented the word "creepy" for that smile, a goofy, confident grin that reaches its full breadth just when you're starting to realize how deranged this guy really is.

Gyllenhaal's bold, committed performance makes "Nightcrawler" one of the most entertaining movies of the year — though hardly the most profound. The film seeks to convey the seaminess of local TV news, summed up by the phrase "If it bleeds, it leads." The thing is: We already knew this. And frankly, there are so many disturbing things going on in the world right now that it's hard to get too worked up about it.

But that doesn't mean that "Nightcrawler" — think "Network," transformed into a taut action film — isn't a compelling and altogether impressive directorial debut for screenwriter Dan Gilroy ("The Bourne Legacy"). Gilroy starts slowly, then ups the pace until we're truly breathless by the culmination of the final action scene. It's a doozy, gorgeously handled by cinematographer Robert Elswit, who makes nighttime Los Angeles a simultaneously chilling and beautiful place.

Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, a forlorn petty thief when we first meet him, who scours desolate places like construction sites — deep in the night — to rip off barbed wire and manhole covers, then sell them for cash. But soon, on his nocturnal travels, Lou discovers the "nightcrawlers" — freelance cameramen who follow police scanner traffic to grisly scenes.

Since his breakthrough with the backward-running "Memento," Christopher Nolan has made a plaything of time.

In "Interstellar," he slips into its very fabric, shaping its flows and exploding its particles. It's an absurd endeavor. And it's one of the most sublime movies of the decade.

As our chief large-canvas illusionist, Nolan's kaleidoscope puzzles have often dazzled more than they have moved, prizing brilliant, hocus-pocus architecture over emotional interiors. But a celestial warmth shines through "Interstellar," which is, at heart, a father-daughter tale grandly spun across a cosmic tapestry.

There is turbulence along the way. "Interstellar" is overly explanatory about its physics, its dialogue can be clunky and you may want to send composer Hans Zimmer's relentless organ into deep space. But if you take these for blips rather than black holes, the majesty of "Interstellar" is something to behold.

The film opens in the near future where a new kind of Dust Bowl, one called "the blight," brings crop-killing storms of dust upon the Midwest farm of engineer-turned-farmer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his two children, the adventuresome 10-year-old Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and the 15-year-old budding farmer Tom (Timothee Chalamet). The rustic homestead, where Cooper and his father-in-law (John Lithgow) drink beer on the porch, recalls the Indiana home of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" — an early hint that "Interstellar" — moving and sentimental — will be more Spielberg (who was once attached to direct) than Kubrick.

Again teamed with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman stars as an amnesia victim whose brain resets back to 13 years ago after each night's slumber in the decidedly average psychological thriller "Before I Go to Sleep."

Wr i t e r- d i re c t o r R o w a n J o ff e ' s a d a p t a t i o n o f S . J .

Watson's bestseller honors the lurid spirit of the pageturner enough to satisfy fans, but he doesn't transmute the material into something richer and deeper as, say, Hitchcock would.

The film opens with an extreme close-up on the bloodshot eye of Christine Lucas (Kidman), a woman who wakes up every morning and doesn't recognize her own bedroom or the man in bed next to her (Firth). She is suffering from atypical psychogenic amnesia, which means ever since she endured severe head trauma 13 years ago, she can't retain a day's events in her mind until she goes to sleep, but after a night, the slate's wiped clean again.

With a weary patience, the man in bed reveals that he is Christine's husband, Ben, and that she had an accident which caused her amnesia. When Ben goes off to work, the phone rings and a man calling himself Dr. Nasch (Mark Strong) explains to Christine that he's a neuropsychologist who's been helping with her memory disorder. He instructs her on where to find a camera in her closet on which she's recorded a video diary over the last two weeks, prompting an extended flashback to illustrate what she's learned so far.

It turns out there's quite a lot that Ben hasn't been telling Christine.

As the Disney-Marvel mash-up "Big Hero 6" moves toward its big-action finale, the images will look strikingly familiar.

A supervillain wreaks havoc. A portal to another dimension looms. A showdown goes airborne over a metropolis.

It could be the finale of a dozen superhero films, with one difference: "Big Hero 6" is animated. But the majority of comicbook films are also computer-generated, particularly their large set pieces. Never has that been clearer than witnessing just how similar such scenes look as out-and-out cartoons. It's a little like seeing that the superhero has no clothes.

The 3-D "Big Hero 6" is loosely based on a little-known Marvel comic about a team of superheros. Crafting a more kidfriendly version, Disney (which owns Marvel) has focused on one of the heroes, the aptly named Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter).

With his older brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney) and their aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph), the 14-year-old Hiro lives in San Fransokyo, a beautifully rendered fusion of Tokyo and San Francisco, full of both nighttime neon and steep-hilled, Bayarea panoramas.

Hiro, whose parents died when he was a toddler, is an avid gamer happy to use his technical wizardry hustling unwitting competitors in underground "bot fights." His tiny, gingerbread man-sized robot makes mincemeat of more hulking machines.

"Big Hero 6" is preceded by a lovely little short, "Feast," a tale of a Boston Terrier's devotion to his owner, told exclusively, and cleverly, through mealtime. It makes for a tasty appetizer.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "action and peril, some rude humor and thematic elements."

Woodley gets lost in a blizzard

By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press By now, there should be no question in anyone's mind that Shailene Woodley is an actress on a rapid-fire journey to stardom.

She's enchanted us in enough films — "The Descendants," ''The Spectacular Now," ''The Fault in Our Stars" — that one less-than-stellar film won't alter her upward trajectory.

Which is good, because "White Bird in a Blizzard" doesn't do her many favors.

Actually, let's amend that — those Woodley fans who are excited about the news that she sheds some clothes here will probably not care a whit about whether the film meets its lofty artistic goals.

As for the rest of us, well, it's not that Woodley herself disappoints — as usual, she's fresh, natural and always interesting to watch — but the film is such an uncomfortable oddity that its overall weirdness ultimately swallows her up a bit, too.

There's a kernel of something tantalizing in "White Bird," writer-director Gregg Araki's highly stylized adaptation of the YA novel by Laura Kasischke about a teen girl discovering herself emotionally and sexually amid some serious family trauma. And few actors portray the awkwardness of teen self-discovery — and sometimes its grace — as well as Woodley.

But there's a fine line between stylized and campy, and Araki defiantly crosses it, in any number of cringe-in-your-seat, can-

you-believe-this-dialogue, my-gosh-that-feelsfake moments. The voiceover narration is also particularly clunky.

Woodley plays Kat Connors, who's 17 when her tragically beautiful mother, Eve (Eva Green, going all-out vampy here, and then some, and then some more) disappears, leaving Kat and her repressed father, Brock (Christopher Meloni) alone and bewildered.

Where has she gone? That question would surely consume any household, but Kat seems relatively unaffected at first, assuring her dad that hey, Mom will come back eventually. Even in her periodic meetings with a therapist (Angela Bassett, not given much of anything to do here), she

doesn't seem that upset.

Except for those darned dreams, where she's wandering through a fake blizzard, everything all bleachy white like in a snow globe — and comes across her mother lying there, nude.

Araki has departed in various ways from the book, moving the action from Ohio to suburban California, and changing the time frame; we begin in 1988 and move ahead to 1991 (the soundtrack includes Depeche Mode, The Cure and Cocteau Twins).

He's also changed key details about Kat's two best friends. That's fine, but the dialogue between the three — Woodley, Mark Indelicato and Gabourey Sidibe — is inexplicably clunky.

"Interstellar" a truly amazing film

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Immediately preceding the last mainstream gasp of 35mm film in St. Louis, I was able to take in an advance screening of Christopher Nolan's latest masterpiece, Interstellar, by a booking quirk at the filmmaker's behest. The conservationist director, you see, has decreed that his love for the aging celluloid art form should benefit from the impressive clout he clearly wields with distributor Paramount.

Three days prior to its national release date, and two full days before you can see it in IMAX and other digital formats, a marketing genius has allowed the few remaining "film" locations to open the title early. And I was there to capture the moment.

In truth, the scant fifteen attendees at AMC's nearby Eastgate theatre

weren't the rabid base of hungry moviegoers that I expect we'll see later in the week, but I hope they all enjoyed it as much as I did.

"Interstellar" is accurately described as amazing. It's the rare epic (with presentations exceeding three hours) that keeps one entertained and inspired, if not clearly enlightened. The story is based, as its genre contends, in science fiction. But whether any of the actual science, pseudo-science, or posturing can be proven or disproven is secondary to what we're watching. It's an easily approachable story about a failed NASA pilot, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), who's struggling to keep his children safe during a distant, dim future. Earth, as presented, undergoes a serious devastation in our near future in which drought, famine, and a collapse of most

forms of government services has left society spinning its wheel yielding a caretaker generation, as it's described - where wheat and okra have been blighted into extinction and King Corn is prevailing, though endangered. The Dust Bowl has come again to pass in a new century.

Cooper, though, is the survivor of the best kind. He's smart and practical and brave like few others would ever have the nerve to be. When a series of strange occurrences bring him back in touch with his NASA mentor (Michael Caine), he leaves behind his family (including John Lithgow as his father-in-law and Mackenzie Foy as his daughter, Murph) for a chance to save our species.

The physics of Interstellar are perplexing to most and I fear that this may be the factor that precludes ultimate enduring success for the picture. Will we pay to sit through

a high school lesson in aerospace engineering? Wormholes, black holes, and long-duration missions are glimpsed and back-tracked through non-linear storytelling, which I usually HATE, that works for this movie. The elapse of relative time cause Cooper's team (with intrepid scientists played by Anne Hathaway, Wes Bentley, David Gyasi, and a couple of interesting robots) to play out in hours what happens to be decades back on Earth. His children age into adults (played by Jessica Chastain and Casey Affleck) and then elderly characters (including Ellen Burstyn as Murph) with McConaughey keeping his boyish good looks. Another, maybe even bigger, A-list star makes a cameo late in the film that is well worth the surprise. This is a spoiler-free zone.

The last act sequence is going to be incredibly polarizing for

November 13, 2014

viewers. My advice is not to try to understand it, but simply experience it. The image of Cooper at a fivedimensional crossroads of space and time can't be properly expressed through the written word. It's got the earmarks of Nolan's visuallystunning work from Inception, and some masterwork by composer Hans Zimmer, but uses the concept of loveas-solid-form to bring the best parts of films like 2001, "Close Encounters," and "The Abyss" together into a conglomeration of pure, amazing bliss.

I rightfully understand the dissenting critics to my own analysis, but that's really the whole point of "Interstellar." Everything is relative.

"Interstellar" runs 183 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language. I give this film four stars out of four.

Travel India – Rural Life Former Glen Carbon residents Bill and Claudia Perozzi are at it again.

The world travelers have taken another memorable journey. Here's a look. This is the third of five stories.

By CLAUDIA PEROZZI "From the sublime to the ridiculous." I think that phrase could have been coined in India, especially rural India with about seventy percent of the population spanning from one extreme to the other, from poverty to pockets of affluence. The garbage and litter that we saw in the cities seemed to be multiplied in the rural villages.

But some real gems stood out in cleanliness and beauty. Urban cities seemed to reflect colors: green for Delhi, pink for Jaipur and white for Agra. Color the countryside orange in its fields of marigolds for the less affluent to string into sublime golden garlands for tourists like us.

Our group of eleven touring with Overseas Adventure Travel had sublime transportation and guides.

Our air-conditioned bus had seating for forty and our skilled driver had an assistant. Our main guide, Sujay, was fun and informative and was assisted by an interesting guide-intraining, Neelam. At main historical locations we were joined by a local guide. So we had the luxury of up to five staff for eleven tourists but we rode through both urban and rural poverty as our bus also became our classroom.

All on the same day, as we traveled from Delhi to Jaipur, our tour group had lunch at a maharaja's palace and spent the afternoon in a nearby mud hut village. Picture riding up a hill to a magnificent white palace set in a courtyard of green grass bordered by trimmed shrubs. At the entrance, the maharani in a flowing peach and rose gown, greeted each of us

with a lei of marigolds. She led us into the dining room, truly fit for royalty. The long table was set with sterling, china, crystal and fancy folded cloth napkins. I'm not sure what we ate but it was delicious.

The ambience would have made anything delicious.

After dining we were free to

wander through the beautifully restored palace. Our guides explained that at the time of independence in 1947, many maharajas or rulers had lost land and palaces which now were slowly and partially being returned to them. Bill and I lingered in the main room of the palace, sitting in an

alcove on a white love seat, trimmed in gold. The sky-blue walls were decorated with white filigree and accented with gold columns. All this under sparkling crystal chandeliers. Heady stuff.

But we had to move on. We wended our way down into a small village, so small it was just a

cluster of mud huts but it was full of bright-eyed children and friendly adults. They welcomed us to watch their snake charmers, men in turbans coaxing cobras from baskets. A young girl danced for us and encouraged us to join her so we tried to imitate her, unsuccessfully. We learned that this community has both Hindu and Muslim residents who live together peacefully and actually look out for each other. They may be poor by our standards but they looked healthy and happy.

Back on the bus, our guides told us more about their lives and we learned that arranged marriage is still very common in India. Neelam's marriage was arranged and she was struggling with whether or not to arrange her daughters' marriages. Breaking away from tradition, Sujay had chosen his own wife and his son had even married out of the Hindu family religion. Times were changing.

Another day, as we rode in our big bus, we spotted a huge white structure standing in open fields, almost like a mirage.

On the Edge of the Weekend

November 13, 2014

Travel Continued from Page 14 "That's your next hotel," Sujay informed us. "It's too bad the owner built such a large hotel with very small sleeping rooms." With lowered expectations we arrived at Nahargarh, a complex of domed buildings around three large courtyards. Instead of small rooms, we were led into well appointed, spacious suites. Sujay had a laugh on us but we were all smiles.

Furthermore, since we were ahead of the season, we were the only guests and the eager-to-please staff outnumbered us. I began to feel like we were British aristocrats on a holiday. Easy to get spoiled here.

We were in a replicated hunting l o d g e n e a r t h e R a t h a m b h o re Animal Preserve so right away, off we went on a safari. Well, off we rode in open air Jeeps in a search for wild animals. We did see some grazing elk, wild peacocks and a giant turtle in the road. Then our guides got a message that a tiger had been spotted so we dashed off to the designated location. Well, we bumped along on a wild goose chase of a wild tiger chase.

Our second day at Nahargarh was my favorite of the countryside and second only to our day at the Taj Mahal. I skipped the early morning safari in favor of a leisurely breakfast in the elegant dining room where I was pleased to find three other women had made the same decision. It was so enjoyable to chat and get to know them better. Several of us chose to have massages, so relaxing. About the time the rest of our group returned, we were swimming in the large pool. In the evening, movies were projected on a white wall and this was the only way we saw tigers.

This was my kind of resort living.

But the time came to move on and we had to see how others lived so we visited a local village. Here we spent the morning with children in school. The classrooms were about half the size of our bedrooms in the lodge and they contained about two dozen students in green uniforms, sitting shoulder to shoulder. They gave us drawings and sang their national anthem to us. We made donations and sang "America, the Beautiful."

Along the road we met with more school children who also impressed us with their eagerness to learn. We had stopped to see an old well and

were joined by students who had persuaded their bus driver to stop.

They ran up to us and were full of questions like, "Where are you from?" They were wearing white uniforms with blue ties and as we started taking their photos, they pulled out their cell phones and took pictures of us.

Back on the bus we learned that education is now mandatory in India up to the tenth grade. In some areas, girls had to be encouraged to attend school by bribing them with bicycles. Often, along the way, we saw girls in western-style uniforms which differ by school, riding bikes on their way to class. Most Indian women continue to wear colorful

traditional saris, even when they work in the fields. By the way, Sujay pointed out, it's mostly women working in the fields and he said he was ashamed that many men in the villages spent their time smoking and drinking in tea houses.

Besides emphasizing education, to further improve lives, Indians have outlawed the caste system.

At one time this four level system-Brahmins (ruling class), warriors, merchants and untouchables-was a life sentence. It is now even forbidden to use the word "untouchable" in describing someone but old habits and old mind sets die hard. I think the Indian struggle with the caste

system parallels our struggle with racism.

After two nights at the elegant lodge, we were really brought back to reality by spending the next two nights in tents. Well, tents with showers and toilets. We got to dress in Indian garb and were entertained with local music around a camp fire. The next day we rode camels which were tall and not very comfortable. Our group tried playing cricket which Bill picked up easily. I couldn't hit anything. In the evening Sujay cooked for us and once again we dined on spicy food, cooled only somewhat by yogurt.

As we traveled through the countryside we came upon a village festival. We just had to stop to join in the fun. I actually found my sport as a sharpshooter at one of the games. Sujay told us that Indians love festivals and holidays. "If we don't have a holiday," he said, "we'll create one." Festivals may add to the litter but they focus away from it on fun.

The only place we encountered a small amount of begging (which we were instructed to ignore) was at the train station. Traveling from there we experienced a fairly pleasant train ride en route to our next destination, Khajuraho. This is a World Heritage site built about a thousand years ago. Intricate stone carvings in temples depict daily life and their daily life obviously included frequent and varied erotic acts. Even animals got in on the acts.

Although the artistry is amazing, ironically these temples were rediscovered during the Victorian era and cast a negative light on Indian culture at that time.

Today Indian culture is definitely a p p re c i a t e d f o r i t s e m p h a s i s on spirituality. We flew into an important center of spirituality, Varanasi. Rich or poor, Hindus, who are eighty percent of the

November 13, 2014

population, seek cleansing in the Ganges River at Varanasi. As we were approaching the river we noticed many men's heads and beards being shaved right at the roadside. These clean shaven men and some women gathered under canopies where holy men chanted and prepared offerings. Then the pilgrims waded into the Ganges with gifts for the gods and became cleansed in the river.

In the evening we were rowed out in skiffs and all the boats converged at the foot of a large stairway leading into the water. Some in boats sent candlelit offerings into the river so the night sparkled with points of light. On shore holy men performed rituals that included fire and chanting. Nearby crematoria also lit up the night sky. We are reminded that no matter how much we accumulate, we all meet the same ultimate fate.

After seeing only one relatively small part of India, I felt overloaded with information and impressions.

India, a land of color and contrasts, a land of extreme wealth and poverty, a land of interesting history and stong emphasis on spirituality, leaves many lasting impressions.

Staying with me are the images of friendly people and lots of them, beautiful buildings, spicy food and revered animals all over. I'll never forget the Taj Mahal but now I view it in a setting that is also unforgettable.

Religion Religion briefs Mexican claiming sanctuary in church seeks amnesty

DENVER (AP) — A Mexican man who has been living in a Denver church basement to avoid deportation says he is prepared to stay as long as it takes to gain the freedom to live in the U.S. A r t u ro H e r n a n d e z , w h o i s a contractor, has been granted sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society of Denver. Immigration officials say they do not pursue people wanted for immigration violations into sensitive areas like churches unless they have committed serious crimes.

Wed. Eve. Bible Study/Prayer, Choir Children & Youth Ministries Rev. Anthony J. Casoria, Pastor www.centergrove.org Presbyterian Church in America

Hernandez said the United States should welcome people willing to work hard, even if they are in this country illegally.

Hernandez acknowledges he got into a scrape with another contractor while laying floor tile. He was arrested and then acquitted when he went to trial. The deportation order came after his arrest, and he was ordered expelled from the country earlier this month.

Southern Baptists tell pastors: hold line on gays

N A S H V I L L E , Te n n . ( A P ) More than a thousand

e v ange lic als w ho b e lie v e gay s e x i s s i n f u l a re a t t e n d i n g a conference hosted by the Southern Baptist Convention.

At the three-day conference, called "The Gospel, Homosexuality and the Future of Marriage," Southern Baptist leaders have sought to express their views in a way that's humble and compassionate, but rooted in the belief that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

T h e R e v. A l b e r t M o h l e r, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said gay marriage is a "rejection of God's law." But Mohler and the Rev. Russell Moore, who heads the denomination's public policy arm,

also said they don't believe people can necessarily eliminate samesex attraction.

Moore added that Southern Baptists do not support "reparative therapy" for

gays based on psychological counseling. But he said the denomination believes biblical teaching can help people live chastely while being attracted to people of the same gender.

The Arts

For The Edge

Pictured above, a scene from "The Nutcracker." Below, artwork for the performance.

The Edison to present "The Nutcracker" For The Edge The Missouri Ballet Theatre presents "The Nutcracker", a full-length ballet, December 19-21, 2014 at the Edison Theatre on the campus of Washington University, Saint Louis.

A wonderful ballet for the entire family, "The Nutcracker" is the perfect way to introduce young children to the grace and beauty of classical dance.

Conceived and choreographed by company Artistic Director Adam Sage, Missouri

Ballet Theatre’s "The Nutcracker" has been praised for refreshing this holiday favorite with innovative choreography, clever storytelling, lush sets and beautiful costumes.

The company’s professional dancers will be augmented by a cast of more than 90 children from across the greater St. Louis area.

“I had a huge smile on my face the entire evening. The children were wonderful and funny—a pure joy—and the professional company is just that: professional, skilled and charming.” “The Missouri Ballet Theatre

is a tremendous asset to the St. Louis and Clayton arts scene and proves it with "The Nutcracker". Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch Among the ballet’s most famous and memorable moments are a battle between toy soldiers and overgrown mice, a Christmas tree that grows to huge heights, the pas de deux of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier, and a shimmering snow scene. The production, now celebrating its sixth year and has become a beloved St. Louis tradition.

November 13, 2014

Tickets to "The Nutcracker" at Edison Theatre are on sale now for $35. Tickets are available online at www.edison.wustl.edu, by phone at 314.935.6543, and in person at the Edison Theatre Box Office.

The Arts Artistic adventures Dance St. Louis season unfolds

Dance St. Louis announces its full 2014-2015 season, which features eight striking, entertaining and diverse productions. The upcoming 49th season includes: New Dance Horizons III, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa, the 8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL 2015 and two co-presentations with the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox Theatre: Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage and STOMP. Tickets are on sale now and are available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org.

Tango Buenos Aires January 30 & 31, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Back by popular demand, Tango Buenos Aires, one of Argentina’s greatest cultural exports, presents another fiery, hypnotic and expressive performance. Accompanied by musicians from Buenos Aires, the dancers flawlessly execute the Tango with impressively intricate muscular grace and interlacing movements between couples. For this special production, Tango Buenos Aires performs the “Song of Eva Perón” – a Tango dance and music presentation inspired by the most important feminine character in Argentinian history, Eva Perón. Tracing her epic life—from her ascent to fame in the 1930s to her death in 1952—this sparkling

and poignant spectacle reveals the influence of Tango on Perón’s life. It’s a saucy and passionate story that keeps you fully engaged while you’re simultaneously swaying in your seat.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet February 27 & 28, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Cutting-edge, sophisticated, versatile, gifted and techniqueconscious – all describe the top-flight dancers of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Hailed by The New York Times as “a breath of fresh air” and by the Boston Herald as the “classically trained company of the future,” Aspen Santa Fe Ballet combines rugged athleticism with liquid grace, and blends European aesthetic with American vigor.

The company, also known for its commitment to commissioning new works, performs from a diverse and engaging repertoire by some of the world’s foremost choreographers, ranging from Twyla Tharp and William Forsythe to Nicolo Fonte and Moses Pendelton.

With its sophisticated repertoire and broad appeal, combined with a blend of entertaining and engrossing contemporary dance, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is one of the great success stories in American dance today. Composed of 12 young, talented dancers, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet presents a lively program enjoyable for all audiences.

STOMP April 10-12, 2015 Fox Theatre See what all the noise is about! STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique—an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion

sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eightmember troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Year after year, audiences worldwide keep coming back for more of this pulse-pounding electrifying show.

April 24 & 25, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center There’s hip-hop and then there’s Compagnie Käfig’s brand of hip-hop, with its global composition, international flavor and fusion of styles. With dancers set in motion to the rhythmic beats of samba, bossa nova and electronic music, this show is a savvy, wild mash-up of innovative, dynamic choreography that promises to be one of the most entertaining highlights of the year. Compagnie Käfig is the brainchild of Mourad Merzouki, a native of Lyon, France who studied martial arts and circus arts as a child and was influenced by hip-hop as a teen. Since 1996, the company has expanded the language of hip-hop by cleverly introducing a wide range of influences, ranging from Bollywood, Russian dance and contemporary dance to samba and capoeira to Merzouki’s own expertise in circus and martial arts. By avoiding social stereotypes, Compagnie Käfig has managed to create its own unique style that does not deny its hip-hop origins, but rather enables the hip-hop movement to win over diverse audiences around the world. Take a seat, sit back and enjoy a transformation in modern hip-hop like no other.

Mirette is an imaginative, musical adaptation of the award-winning children’s book, set in late 19th century Paris. A willful young girl is delighted when she discovers her mother’s new boarder is none other than the Great Bellini, whose glorious tightrope-walking days were cut short when he lost his nerve. Demonstrating an innate talent for balancing, she convinces the reluctant Bellini to teach her his craft. Book by Elizabeth Diggs, music by Harvey Schmidt, lyrics

by Tom Jones and based on the book Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully. Mirette is dire c t e d by C h r i s L i m b e r, with musical direction by Phil Woodmore and circus staging by Josh Routh. Performances are January 23-25, 2015.
