People People planner Carrington to appear at Peabody
Rodney Carrington will appear at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis at 7 p.m. on March 27. Ti c k e t s a r e a v a i l a b l e a t ticketmaster.com, at 1-800-745-3000 or the Peabody Opera House Box Office. Rodney Carrington has been making audiences laugh for almost twenty years with his unique brand of stand-up comedy. The country singer-songwriter has recorded eight major label comedy albums which have sold more than two million copies … two of which have been certified Gold. Rodney Carrington recently started his own record label “Laughter’s Good” and is releasing two albums under the new label in October 2014. Rodney plans to re-release “C’Mon Laugh You Bastards” which will feature 3 new songs, as well as an album of all new material called “Laughter’s Good.” In addition to starting his own record label, Rodney is starting a new YouTube series in October 2014 called “Bit By Bit.” In the series, he will be releasing new material one piece at a time on a weekly basis. On November 1, 2014 Sirius XM is doing a “Rodney Carrington Takeover Special” on their Blue Collar Comedy Channel. Carrington can also be heard every Sunday on ESPN2 on the intro of “Colin’s Football Show” with Colin Cowherd. Originally from Longview, TX, Carrington has three sons and resides in Tulsa, OK. Rodney Carrington kicks off his “Here Comes the Truth” tour in 2015.
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”) and Lisa Truitt (“Mysteries of Egypt”) and directed by Louis Schwartzberg (“Disney 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 world of nature, events and 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. 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 w i n g a n d t h e t i n y o rg a n i s m s that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mind-bending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities o f s c i e n c e , ” s a i d L i s a Tru i t t , president of National Geographic Entertainment. “The premise of this new giant

screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what
they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr.

People People planner “The Munsters� are coming to Greenville Car Show
It may look like Halloween in June as two of the stars of the classic television show “The Munsters� will be the celebrity guests at this year ’s Greenville (Illinois) Graffiti Car Show. Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) and Pat Priest (Marilyn Munster) will meet fans and sign autographs on Saturday, June 20 during the show. Replicas of the Munster Koach and Drag-ula, prominently featured on the program, will also be making an appearance. Patrick was a popular child star who also made guest appearances on many shows of the 1960s including “Bonanza�, “Gunsmoke� and “Rawhide�. Patrick’s work as Eddie, the son of Herman and Lily Munster, made him a TV icon. In the early 1970s Patrick was the star of “Lidsville�, a quirky Saturday morning show produced by Sid and Marty Krofft. Priest took over the role of Marilyn Munster in the show’s 16th episode. Perhaps her best k n o w n ro l e o u t s i d e o f “ T h e Munsters� came in 1967 when she co-starred with Elvis Presley in the movie “Easy Come, Easy Go�. She was also a guest on other iconic programs like “Perry Mason�, “Bewitched� and “Mission Impossible�. Car show organizers are excited to have the Munster Koach and Drag-ula on display that day. The original vehicles were the creation of George Barris, a legendary
designer and maker of cars used in television shows and movies. The Munster Koach, Herman Munster ’s preferred method of transportation, was created from three Model T bodies. The Dragula, built by Grandpa Munster and used by Herman in a classic episode of the show, was made using a real fiberglass coffin. This is a rare opportunity to see television history in person. Butch Patrick, Pat Priest, the Munster Koach, and the Drag-ula may also be seen at the Munster’s Ball, a special event to be held on Friday, June 19 at the American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville. This ticketed event includes a question and answer session with the stars, photo opportunities, food, and other fun. Ticket information about the Munster’s Ball may be obtained by calling the Greenville Chamber of
Commerce at (618) 664-9272. The Greenville Graffiti Car Show on Saturday, June 20 is open to 1990 and older cars and trucks for judging. Vehicles may also be brought for display. For the first time, motorcycles may be brought for display only. Last year’s event attracted nearly 190 cars and trucks to downtown Greenville, Illinois.
Road race set at McKendree University

T h e re g i s t r a t i o n f e e i s $ 1 5 in advance or $20 on race day. Register in person at the Intramural Gym in the Melvin Price Convocation Center on campus; mail in the registration form available for download at mckendree.edu/raceday; or

Music Arts & Issues to welcome Arlo Guthrie By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge
A
rlo Guthrie, a celebrated figure in American history with a fan base that also spans the globe, brings his “Alice’s Restaurant: 50th Anniversary Tour” to SIUE for the 30th anniversary season of SIUE's Arts & Issues program. Having appeared four times at the Mississippi River Festival and once with Arts & Issues in 2008, Guthrie returns back to campus with his unique brand of musical storytelling at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 in the Morris University Center Meridian Ballroom. The performance is being sponsored by Scott Credit Union in Edwardsville. “We’re excited to bring Arlo Guthrie back to the SIUE campus,” Director of Arts & Issues and Assistant Development Director in SIUE’s College of Arts and Sciences Grant Andree said. “We thought it would be great to present, as part of our 30th anniversary Arts & Issues celebration, Arlo’s 50th Anniversary Tour for “Alice’s Restaurant.” Our alumni have a special place in their hearts for Arlo.” Guthrie, the son of singer, writer and philosopher Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer and founder of The Committee to Combat
Huntington's Disease, saw his musical career explode in 1967 with the release of the18-minute musical monologue, “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.” The folk “song,” which is based on a true incident in Guthrie’s life, depicts odd, unexpected and comically exaggerated events that occurred on Thanksgiving Day 1965. Guthrie made “Alice's Restaurant Massacree” on somewhat of a whim. But with it also being a satirical protest against the Vietnam War, it struck an important chord with many in the 1960s era and created a re-commitment to social consciousness and activism. In 1969, Guthrie’s folk song was made into a film, “Alice’s Restaurant,” and it was co-written and directed by Arthur Penn. The movie stars Guthrie as himself. Over the last five decades Guthrie has toured throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. He's had a multitude of worldwide tours including An American Scrapbook that was performed with symphony orchestras, The Guthrie Legacy Tours with various family members, Boys Night Out Tour with his son Abe Guthrie and grandson Krishna, and The Guthrie Family Reunion Tour in 2012. The Centennial celebration tour ended in May 2014 but interspersed among all the tours of the past decade was the recurring “Arlo Guthrie Solo Reunion TourTogether At Last.” The most

Arlo Guthrie of "Alice's Restaurant" fame will appear at SIUE on March 7. recent version of this solo tour ran from June 2014 to November 2014 which gave Guthrie just a small break before the “Alice Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour” began in January of this year. As his online biography points out, “with songs like "Alice's Restaurant," too long for radio airplay; "Coming into Los Angeles," banned from many radio stations (but a favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the definitive rendition of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans,” Guthrie was no One-Hit-Wonder. An artist of international stature, he has never had a 'hit' in the usual sense. He has usually preferred to walk to his own beat rather than march in step to the drum of popular culture.” This natural-born storyteller is also an accomplished musician and plays not only the piano, both six and twelve-string guitars, and a harmonica, but a dozen other
instruments. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Guthrie is involved in various community projects. “In 1991, he purchased the old Trinity Church near Stockbridge, MA, which is now home to The Guthrie Center, named for his parents, and The Guthrie Foundation,” his Web site states. “The Guthrie Center is a not-for-profit interfaith church foundation dedicated to providing a wide range of local and international services. The Guthrie Foundation is a separate not-forprofit educational organization that addresses issues such as the environment, health care, cultural preservation and educational exchange. In 2009, Arlo was awarded the ASCAP Foundation Champion award for making a difference through social action on behalf of worthwhile causes and demonstrating exceptional efforts in humanitarianism.” Guthrie's “Alice's Restaurant 50th

Anniversary Tour” performance at SIUE on March 7 will feature Guthrie's band which includes Terry Hall (drums), Bobby Sweet (guitar, vocals) and his son, Abe Guthrie (keyboards). The show will be curated with a special multimedia presentation featuring previously unseen images from the Guthrie archives.

Music Tuninig in Lecrae to appear at The Fox
Tw o t i m e G r a m m y a w a r d winning artist Lecrae will be bringing his national Anomaly To u r t o t h e F a b u l o u s F o x Theatre on Thursday, April 30 at 7:00 p.m. Special guests Andy Mineo and DJ Promote are also scheduled to perform. Lecrae made history as the first hip-hop artist to win a G r a m m y a w a rd i n t h e B e s t Gospel Album category for his s i x t h s t u d i o a l b u m G r a v i t y, which sold 70,490 units in its first week – making it #1 Rap Album, #1 Independent Album, #3 on the Billboard 200. His first mixtape, Church Clothes, went double platinum, garnering over 500,000 downloads and debuting #10 on iTunes as an EP. With several notable media appearances, charttopping albums, along with a critically acclaimed mixtape and 2 Grammy awards to his credit, Lecrae has found himself on a narrow road of rappers who speak of m o n o g a m y, c o n t e n t m e n t , a n d faith while remaining true to his background and his worldview. He is known for his positive lyrical messages over hard and gritty hip-hop beats, which appeals to a generation of fans that find his music not only enlightening but also entertaining. Lecrae will be joined on the tour by Carlos Trevino, aka DJ Promote, and fellow rapper Andy Mineo. DJ Promote, best known for his high energy mixing skill and charismatic stage presence, brings over fifteen years of turntable experience to the show. Andy Mineo is a born communicator whether he is on stage bringing an audience to its feet with his riveting performance or off stage fielding interview questions with a potent combination of intellect and wit. He uses hip hop music as his instrument for reaching the masses since and has made a name for himself with such projects as Sin is Wack Vol. 1.

ounds reminiscent of Jethro Tull's rockin' flute will fill the halls of a now converted gothic style-church in up-town St.
The structure was once a Presbyterian place of worship built in the 1930s, but now serves as a non-profit venue for local musicians and visual artists to showcase their latest works. Five-piece metro-east indie-rock group “Slow Down Scarlett” has been touring the greater St. Louis area for more than four years. They gained popularity at several local venues for their signature mix of what lead guitarist Dylan Tucker calls “Jambalaya Rock,” complimented by the experience of a former U.S. Air Force Band flutist with a ver! y unique musical career. "The SDS flutist /vocalist is fearless! Her ability to go from flute to vocals appears effortless but is nothing short of amazing. What a talented and beautiful creature!

Whether she is performing new or old/classic tunes, she adds her own unique touch! I just love this girl!” said Tanya Miller, who has attended several of the band’s shows. Courtney King, a graduate student at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, is one of the lead vocalists, and a decorated concert flutist who toured the mid-western music scene for the armed services up until 2007. In that time, she was best known for playing classical scores, but in recent years has been better known for laying down more sultry rock licks with her bandmates from the St. Louis Suburbs. "Working with the creative minds in SDS challenges me as a musician. From ditching the music stand, to blowing a solo over changes, I really love the direction we're headed," said King, who ! separated from the military to home-school her children after learning she was expecting a second child. She now has three kids, all of which play violin. “I got out [of the Air Force Band] to take care of my children, thinking that was the end of music for me... but I couldn't stay away. My husband’s a professional trumpet player,

my kids have picked up violin now, and… well, I just had to get back into things,” she continued. She found a musical outlet with four fellow church members, with whom she would help lead music at church services for First Baptist Church of O’Fallon in St. Clair County Illinois. “We enjoyed working together so much, we started performing as a cover band around town,” said Danny Walls, who plays drums and manages the group's tour schedule. “Before we realized what was happening, we were writing our own songs, getting asked to perform at different places, and even traveled to a television studio to shoot a music video." Slow Down Scarlett fan Matt Gilreath says, “SDS is without question a group of excellent instrumentalists and vocalists. The raw talent and obvious extended study of music by Courtney on the flute is not only unique but captivating. Slow Down Scarlett is very entertaining." Slow Down Scarlett members are also something of a jambalaya, all from differing backgrounds coming together to make music. Along with Courtney King, (vocals/flute) they
feature Andy Lewis, (vocals/guitar) a high school history teacher and a football coach in O'Fallon, IL. Dylan Tucker (lead guitar) is a wedding videographer, photographer, and web designer. Dan Kaltenbaugh (bass guitar) is owner of Dijatek, a website development company for businesses. Danny Walls (drums) is a youth pastor at First Baptist Church in O'Fallon, IL. The concert will open with performances by Colin Rigsby, from the Columbus, Ohio-based band “House of Heroes” and “The Fade,” a Bellevi! lle indie rock band. Tickets are $8 advance at http://thechapel. bpt.me and $10 at the door (cash or card accepted). Each patron will receive 2 free drinks for the evening. The Chapel Venue is located at 6238 Alexander Dr. St Louis, MO 63105. Parking is available along Wydown Blvd. and Alexander Dr. Please be careful not to block residential driveways. Any vehicle blocking a driveway will be towed at the owner’s expense. Please note that parking around the triangle across from The Chapel is not permitted.
The Arts EAC to exhibit Pal's work Art puts an emphasis on healing and remembrance By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge “Remembered Experience: An Agnes Pal Retrospective” opens Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Edwardsville Arts Center. The exhibit, which runs through March 27, features the sculpture work of 79 year old Glen Carbon resident Agnes Majtinsky Pal, a Holocaust survivor. Pal's work explores the relationship of the creative act of art making as a vehicle for healing and remembrance. Curated by SIUE Museum Interim Director Erin Vigneau Dimick and retired SIUE Art Professor Paulette Meyers, this exhibit promises to be educational, thought provoking and emotional due to the subject matter behind the pieces. Meyers, who taught art at SIUE for 30 years before retiring and who was Pal's professor, explained how Pal ended up in the Edwardsville area. “She had gotten her BFA at the University of Michigan soon after she came to the United States. It was in graphic design,” Meyers said. “She and her husband were living in New York City, and she was working as a graphic design person there when she was younger.” After Pal's husband, Alexander, was hired to teach mathematics at SIUE, the couple moved to Edwardsville in 1970, and Pal began taking art classes at SIUE. “She took quite a few studio areas. Metals was what she loved,” Meyers recalled. “She learned everything there was to learn in metals in her additional classes she was taking, and then she applied for the MFA (Master of Fine Arts) program with a tremendous portfolio of course.” During her studies in the MFA program, Pal decided to focus her art and thesis on her personal experiences of the Holocaust. “She had done a few pieces involving the Holocaust before but not with so much emphasis,” Meyers said. “Once she got into the program, that's solely what she dealt with – her experiences and her family's

"Number," an extensive work by Agnes Majtinsky Pal. experiences in that horrific and historical war.” “The bulk of her work in the later part of her career and her thesis itself was all about interpretations of her experiences in Hungary and Austria,” Vigneau Dimick said. “Some are not as easy to discern right away because the works are abstract, but some of them are very, very clear right from the start.” “I think a lot of the Holocaust survivors are reticent to talk about their experience and that was definitely true of Agnes,” Meyers said noting when Pal decided to finally pursue her painful past
experiences in her art. “One of the things I think that helped was I had invited her to go with my husband and son many years ago – maybe 15 years ago – to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. She flew up, and then we picked her up. We went through that museum which is absolutely an incredible experience. It's heart-wrenching, but I think that was a time that she decided that her story needs to be told.” Over 30 of Pal's art pieces, which are on loan to the SIUE Museum, will be on display at the Edwardsville Art Center for the

exhibit, “Remembered Experience: An Agnes Pal Retrospective” that runs from Friday to March 27. The pieces in the show range from jewelry to sculpture to hollowware (vessels). One of the largest pieces in the exhibit, entitled “Number,” will be displayed as soon as you enter the main gallery. “It's eight feet by eight feet, and it's a sculpture made of 224 copper plates, approximately six inches each, that have been hydraulically pressed into this convex spherical shape,” Vigneau Dimick said. “Each plate has a number on it which corresponds to the numbering of prisoners that the Nazis did. And some of the spheres also have photographs of people's faces that have been baked onto the surface. They are photographs of people from her life.” “Then all of the plates are lashed together as a giant quilt which hangs from the ceiling, Vigneau Dimick added. “The whole idea of it has to do with the dehumanization of people. The whole idea of them being numbered and branded like cattle.” One piece, entitled “Chalice,” is a tribute to Pal's grandmother who was a farmer. “She raised sheep and produced cheese. She snuck food into labor camps to people that she knew and also strangers who were there at the labor camps,” Vigneau Dimick said. “And she was caught along with her son and sent to Auschwitz and was killed.” “The chalice denotes sustenance yet danger, depicted by the barbed wire wrapping, the tower structure that references the Nazi’s lookout towers and a single blood red, garnet in the form of a flame in the center of the goblet,” Pal writes as part of the description of this piece. “It's a complex piece using a process called reticulation,” Meyers
February 26, 2015
pointed out. “There's some very large pieces. There's some very, very beautiful tiny pieces because her metalsmithing is very sculptural,” Vigneau Dimick noted. “She also makes rings and brooches. The brooch may be only three inches by an inch and a half. So some of them are extremely delicate and yet they are still articulating ideas about her experience.” One of the smallest pieces is a sterling silver brooch with a rough aquamarine stone and silver casting made of burnt-out wood. It is entitled, “Icy Descent, Holding Her Hand.” Pal writes in her resume the story behind this piece. “I have memories of being marched by the Germans down snowy and icy mountains, holding onto my mother’s hand as we were herded along to the next labor camp. Our campsite was very scenic and overlooked the town. We were strategically placed at the top edge of a dam overlooking an enormous lake. Hearing them talk, our elders suspected our captors were using us as human shields against bomb attacks by their enemy. A cavernous room served to house us all, men, women and children. We slept on the floor on top of just a thin layer of straw. As we later learned, our elders were correct. We had served as human shields against the allied bomb raids.” Every piece in the exhibit has a story behind it, written by Pal, which will be posted below each piece so that it can be understood by the viewer. “We're all very, very excited. It really is a retrospective,” Vigneau Dimick said. Artwork made by Lincoln and Liberty Middle School students will be on display in the EAC's Dennis

The Arts The Edison Theatre to host "Blues for Mr. Charlie" For The Edge Richard: You still determined to break your neck. Juanita: Well, it’s a neck-breaking time. I wouldn’t like to appear to be above the battle. The killing is not in doubt. A black man is dead. A white man pulled the trigger. The only real question is why. James Baldwin wrote “Blues for Mr. Charlie” in 1964, loosely basing the story on the notorious acquittal, 9 years before, of Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam for the murder of Emmett Till. But today, in St. Louis, the echoes of Ferguson are impossible to ignore. “Some of the dialogue, some of the exchanges, could be happening on any street, in any Ferguson commission, in any police board meeting,” said Ron Himes, the Henry E. Hampton Jr. Artist-inResidence in the Performing Arts D e p a r t m e n t ( PA D ) i n A r t s & Sciences. “It’s the same issues, the same attitudes, the same fears,” said Himes, who will direct the show that runs Feb. 20 through March 1 in Edison Theatre on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. “You hear lines in the play and just automatically want to add ‘hashtag Ferguson.’ ” ‘He believes I killed that boy?’ The story opens with a gunshot. Lyle Britten, a white storeowner in a small southern town, stands over the body of Richard Henry, prodigal son of a local minister. The African-American community calls for justice but — with blacks still denied the vote — few are optimistic. And yet a week later, goaded by media attention, the sheriff decides to file charges. “Whitetown” is i n c re d u l o u s b u t “ B l a c k t o w n ” rejoices. Parnell James, editor of the local paper, brings the news to Lyle and his wife, Jo, as they play with their newborn son.
“It would be very easy to make Lyle a fire-breathing racist, full of hate,” Himes said. “And either Whitetown or Blacktown could easily become stereotype. The challenge is to put some flesh on these characters, to allow them their humanity. Like all humans, they have weaknesses and frailties. That’s the tragedy.” R i c h a rd , s e e n i n f l a s h b a c k , emerges as smart and proud but also wracked by anger and doubt. Years away, working as a musician i n C h i c a g o , h a v e b ro a d e n e d Richard’s horizons but also enabled bad habits, leaving him cynical and exhausted. “You see some of Baldwin in
Richard,” Himes said. “He goes n o r t h , e n c o u n t e r s a d i ff e re n t society, and comes back with a different attitude, a different sense of himself. But Baldwin was a child minister, and we also hear his voice in the preacher Meridian. A n d w i t h J u a n i t a ( R i c h a rd ’ s girlfriend) he makes some very strong statements about sex and sexuality.” ‘Fury in its belly’ Though only Baldwin’s second work for the stage — following “The Amen Corner” a decade before — “Blues for Mr. Charlie” opened on Broadway with Al Freeman Jr. as Richard and Rip Torn as Lyle. The New York Times
praised it as “a play with fires of fury in its belly, tears of anguish in its eyes and a roar of protest in its throat.” But in the years since, “Blues for Mr. Charlie” has been infrequently performed. Himes, wanting to acknowledge the show’s 50th anniversary, selected it for the PAD’s 2014-15 season last spring — m o n t h s b e f o re t h e t r a g i c incident in Ferguson. “A lot of people still don’t want to have a conversation about Darren Wilson shooting Michael Brown,” Himes said. “The great thing about theater is that it allows us to have a dialogue about Lyle killing Richard. And you know? It’s basically the same conversation. “Baldwin’s writing is eloquent and poetic,” Himes said. “There are moments where it could read a little preachy, but I find in some instances, the soapbox is sort of necessary.” To d a y, i n f a r t o o m a n y neighborhoods, “Baldwin is still right on target.” Cast and crew The cast of 34 is led by Jonathan Wi l l i f o rd a s R i c h a rd , J o s h u a Parrack as Lyle and Zack Schultz as Parnell James.

Religion Religion briefs More Alabama counties start granting gay marriage licenses
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — More Alabama counties are issuing marriage licenses to gay couples after a federal judge's latest order. Probate courts in at least two counties — Tuscaloosa and Lee — reversed course and began issuing gay marriage licenses Friday. In January, U.S. District Judge Callie Granade overturned the state's gay marriage ban. A few counties began issuing licenses this week when a hold on the ruling expired. But Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore told state probate judges that the federal ruling didn't apply to them and that it was an intrusion on Alabama's sovereignty. Some judges refused to grant gay marriage licenses or to open licensing offices at all. On Thursday, Granade ruled that Mobile County had to issue the licenses, signaling to counties statewide that they should follow suit. So far, about a third of the state's 67 counties have issued same-
sex marriage licenses.

Services, prayers for 3 fatally shot in North Carolina Demolition begins to clear ground RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A funeral service has been held for three young Muslims who were shot in North Carolina in what police for Bible Museum call a parking dispute but many Muslims believe was a hate crime. Services were planned at one of Raleigh's largest mosques, where the families are longtime members. But, with a crowd estimated at 5,500, the service was moved to athletic fields across from the mosque. The fields are owned by North Carolina State University, where two victims had graduated and one was a student. That service began after midday prayers, with the father of the two female victims praising all three as "angels who never had a fight in their lives." Mohammad Abu-Salha said they were the true face of Islam, not the "American Sniper movie." At the service's conclusion, about a dozen people carried each of the three caskets away to hearses, which headed to an Islamic

WASHINGTON (AP) — Demolition is underway just off the National Mall in Washington, where a $400 million Museum of the Bible is to be built. The museum's president, Cary Summers, says it's scheduled to open in November of 2017, with separate floors dedicated to the history, impact and narratives of the Bible. Unlike the nearby Smithsonian museums, the Bible Museum will likely have an admission charge. Summers says it could range from $12 to $15 dollars for adults, and less for children. He says the three main exhibit floors will each cover 55,000 square feet, and there will also be a theater, ballroom, lecture halls and children's area.

"Timbuktu"
The hot Malian sands of Abderrahmane Sissako's "Timbuktu" are a cool reservoir of placid beauty, where desert dunes are swept by quiet ripples of colorful, everyday village life and haphazard storms of violence. "Timbuktu," the Oscar-nominated foreign-langue film from Mauritania, is set outside Timbuktu, a place long associated with exotic adventure. But here it's occupied by Islamist forces, as it was from early 2012 until 2013 before French and Malian troops pushed them out. But "forces" suggests a more formal command than the patrolmen seen in Sissako's poetically humanist film. Avoiding stereotypes, the movie shrinks larger political and religious battles down to the people of a desert town — city dwellers and nomadic Tuareg people out in the dunes — being forced to change by a handful of halfhearted oppressors. The orders of the newly arrived fundamentalists (Abel Jafri plays their leader, with subtle uncertainty) would be satirical if they weren't so cruel. One with a bullhorn walks the streets, warning "not to sit in front of one's house, to do any old thing, to spend some time in the street." Another pair argues furiously about a beating that turns out to be a Spanish soccer match. RATED: PG-13 for "some violence and thematic elements." RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water"
Would that all of our brains resembled that of SpongeBob SquarePants — and we're talking about his actual brain, like, the cerebral matter located somewhere inside that porous yellow body. When, in the thoroughly enjoyable (though somewhat exhausting) "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water," the tiny, scheming Plankton takes a surreptitious trip into one of those sponge-holes, he finds a brain coated with cotton candy, rainbows and all manner of sweets, like a scene from "The Nutcracker." It's enough to make a cynical little organism sick, but it makes us love sweet SpongeBob even more. As does director Paul Tibbitt's new movie, which is zany and clever and fun (and in 3D), as long as you can take 93 minutes of it. That may depend on your age. As I exited the theater I heard a father telling his young son wearily, "That's about all the SpongeBob I can take." The son, it seemed, could have taken a few hours more. The movie — the second feature-length outing for the durable Nickelodeon TV character, and the first since 2004 —begins somewhere above the undersea hamlet of Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob lives. We meet a nefarious pirate character named Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas, in live action and game for anything), tracking down a precious ancient book via his treasure map. The book tells the story of Bikini Bottom — a device to bring newcomers up to speed. (In a clever touch that parents will like, an old library card shows the previous borrowers, who include Davy Jones. "This is way overdue," the pirate says.) We learn how Bikini Bottom is addicted to Krabby Patties, the succulent burgers made only at Krusty Krab, the fast-food joint where SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny) works for Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown), who keeps the secret recipe stowed away in a vault. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America "for mild action and rude humor."

"Seventh Son"
There's a fine line between charm and cheese in fantasy epics, and movies as silly and overwrought as "Seventh Son" only help to illustrate just how hard it is to hit the right tone when balancing action, romance, (attempted) wit, and the creation of the world. For every "Princess Bride" or "Lord of the Rings," there are 10 "Jack the Giant Slayers," and as studios cram more and more CG spectacle into each final product, it seems that storytelling and character are the consistent casualties. "Seventh Son," directed by Sergei Bodrov, is no exception. Based on Joseph Delaney's novel "The Spook's Apprentice" (the first in a series), "Seventh Son" tells the story of Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a skilled witch hunter (or, "spook") who must train a new apprentice after the evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) escapes her imprisonment. He takes on Tom Ward (Ben Barnes) because Tom, you see, is the seventh son of the seventh son which makes him especially suited to the job of killing supernatural beings. Bridges is as marble mouthed as ever and barely comprehensible as the hard-boiled spook. He's trying something here that is not quite working and actually makes it difficult to become emotionally invested in his relationship with the apprentice. It's entirely possible that he and Barnes have some sharp exchanges and witty banter, but when you're not straining to decipher exactly what nonsense exposition was mumbled, they're dolling out such sitcom-level gems as "I'm starting to wish I was the sixth son." Moore, who is riding high on her stellar, Oscar-nominated "Still Alice" performance, doesn't fare much better as the scorned, shape-shifting witch, who aims to unleash vengeance on humanity because of one betrayal. Mother Malkin teams up with her sister (Antje Traue) and "half witch" niece Alice (Alicia Vikander) to carry out her wishes RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense fantasy violence and action throughout, frightening images and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.
"McFarland, USA"
"McFarland, USA" could so easily have been yet another mushy, feel-good, by-the-numbers sports underdog movie. And in beginning, it seems like it's heading there. But soon, thanks to the genuine heart in its (true) story and a pitch-perfect, beautifully lived-in performance by Kevin Costner, it will likely win you over. So go ahead, surrender. Cry a little. This is one feel-good movie that won't make you feel bad about feeling good. The story begins in August 1987 in Boise, Idaho, when a high school football coach named Jim White — that name will end up being very convenient to the story — gets fired from his job after throwing a shoe in the direction of a snotty kid who's talking back to him, accidentally bloodying him. Jim, who has a history of anger issues, packs up the family and moves to McFarland, California, for a job at the only school that will hire him. Arriving in McFarland, a farming town where the population is predominantly Mexican-American, White's daughter looks nervously out the car window and asks: "Are we in Mexico?" At a taqueria, White tries to order a burger, but can't get one. When the family encounters a group of young men cruising in their cars, he immediately thinks they're dangerous.
February 26, 2015
These moments lay it on a little thick, but soon, director Niki Caro ("Whale Rider") hits a more comfortable stride depicting a prickly entry for the White family (the always lovely Maria Bello plays the sadly underdeveloped character of Jim's wife) into McFarland life. At the new school, White is made assistant coach of the football team, working for an ornery boss who can't win a game and sees nothing of sending a kid with a concussion back onto the field. Soon they argue, and White's off the team. But he has a different idea. These boys, who spend all their non-school hours picking in the fields for their parents, might not be able to play football, but they sure can run. And run, and run. White — the kids call him "Blanco" — figures they could make a great cross-country team. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America "for thematic material, some violence and language." RUNNING TIME: 128 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
"The DUFF"
All teen comedies owe some debt to John Hughes and Amy Heckerling. The milieu of suburban teenage life that they explored decades ago has defined the genre since. The social divisions, the boredom, the dances, the irrepressible awkwardness and the irrational dreaminess of high school students never before seemed so accessible, and so neatly packaged with a perfect soundtrack — even if their scope was rather limited to a particular set of middle class students. It's no surprise that we continue to tell slightly different variations of the same story. There are still outcasts and bullies and war stories to be told from the halls of suburban high schools, and every generation deserves its own silly teenage misfit story. While it's neither as biting as "Mean Girls" nor as sweetly referential as "Easy A," the earnest and sometimes amusing "The DUFF" is a fine addition to the canon. In the film, Mae Whitman stars as Bianca, an overallwearing overachiever who's just trying to navigate her senior year alongside her two best friends Jess (Skyler Samuels) and Casey (Bianca A. Santos). But their dynamic is not equal, the handsome, popular and sweetly dim-witted football player Wesley (Robbie Amell) bluntly informs Bianca at a party. Bianca, he explains, is the Designated Ugly Fat Friend (aka "The DUFF") of the group. She's the one who goes unnoticed till someone wants to gain access to her comparably more beautiful friends. This revelation causes Bianca to take off on her own, unfriending her longtime pals (in the only way that contemporary kids might know how — on every last social media site) and convincing Wesley to help her break out of DUFF prison. On its face, with the popular guy teaching the misfit girl how to fit in, it's like "Can't Buy Me Love" in reverse. Or "Some Kind of Wonderful" in reverse. Or even "She's All That," but without the bet. While "The DUFF" whiffs on the comedy front more often than it succeeds and is likely not destined to become the "Sixteen Candles" for a new generation, it is eminently watchable and even a bit touching. It takes a special kind of movie to nail a revelatory dance scene. On that front, "The DUFF" and its leads pass with flying colors. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "crude and sexual material throughout, some language and teen partying." RUNNING TIME: 104 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Seventh Son" wears out its welcome By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press There's a fine line between charm and cheese in fantasy epics, and movies as silly and overwrought as "Seventh Son" only help to illustrate just how hard it is to hit the right tone when balancing action, romance, (attempted) wit, and the creation of the world. For every "Princess Bride" or "Lord of the Rings," there are 10 "Jack the Giant Slayers," and as studios cram more and more CG spectacle into each final product, it seems that storytelling and character are the consistent casualties. "Seventh Son," directed by Sergei Bodrov, is no exception. Based on Joseph Delaney's novel "The

Moore, who is riding high on her stellar, Oscar-nominated "Still Alice" performance, doesn't fare much better as the scorned, shape-shifting witch, who aims to unleash vengeance on humanity because of one betrayal. Mother Malkin teams up with her sister (Antje Traue) and "half witch" niece Alice (Alicia Vikander) to carry out her wishes At first it seems like there might be an epic battle of the sexes brewing. For Master Gregory, death is the only option for a witch. You almost start to feel bad for Mother Malkin
and her kind, wishing for a final showdown between the two warring forces. But "Seventh Son" swerves into something much more conventional and expected in that there's no real subversion happening at all: The craziest characters are the women with the broken hearts. All of this could be forgiven if "Seventh Son" was at least entertaining. Nearly every piece of dialogue sounds like a parody of the genre and the attempt to alternate between humor and action falls flat on all fronts. As painstakingly designed and choreographed as the fight sequences are, they just never manage to excite or thrill and the actors couldn't seem more disconnected from one another.
"Kingsman" barely worth the wait By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge It seems like forever since the new action movie "Kingsman" started to be advertised. When I first saw the trailer last summer, the prospect of waiting for Valentine's Day seemed like an eternity that would never come to pass. Instead, it seemed the world was holding its collective breath alongside me. "Kingsman," to a smaller degree, had a huge opening over the period that encompassed a strong Thursday and the one-two punch of Valentine's Day and President's Day falling on the same weekend. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie obviously had the last laugh, racking up something like $95 million in ticket sales and Girls' Night lost time at work the next day, but I just couldn't work up
my nerve to spend some limited free time being, um, shackled into seeing a movie I wasn't really excited about. Featuring a techno-rock soundtrack and a sensationally stylized use of ultra-violence, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" takes us on a thrill ride that is at times James Bond-lite, at times unintentionally funny, and mostly graphic novel-electric. Harry Hart (Colin Firth, dashing as ever) is a spy for the Kingsman, a covert group keeping the citizens of the world safe since roughly the time that England's American colonies seceded. They're wealthy and unassuming members of society on the outside, but excel at the hush-hush wet work and de rigueur espionage that only goes along when a government has no knowledge of the means required.
When one of Harry's colleagues is killed on a mission, he chooses a legacy to fill the whole. Eggsy Unwin (Taron Egerton) was the toddler of another Kingsman killed during a training exercise in 1997 and he uses the debt the agency owes him to leverage a better future than the gutter-punk lifestyle he finds laid out for him. The first half of "Kingsman" puts Eggsy through his paces as a recruit against some of the upper-level trainees selected to battle all out to earn a spot in the elite unit. He runs afoul of many snobby boys and the technical director (Mark Strong), but find a great ally in the one girl (Sophie Cookson) that holds her own during combat exercises. Much like in Top Gun, the classroom quickly gives way to the real thing and a harrowing world domination plot surfaces
that features Samuel L. Jackson as the lisping baddie Valentine, Mark Hamill in a bizarre role, and a surprisingly large amount of McDonald's product placement. When Valentine's lackey assistant (Sophia Boutella) appears and starts vivisecting enemies with her razor-sharp "bladerunner" prosthetic lower legs, you kind of just go with it. Valentine's ultimate agenda includes bugging the world into violent mind control in order to thin the human population that he views as detrimental to the longterm survival of our species and planet. If so much of Kingsman weren't as closed-ended as it is, it could set up a cult franchise. "Kingsman" is surprisingly graphic and bloody, all the while distancing its viewers from feeling much real connection to the violence by making it
February 26, 2015
almost cartoonish in nature. I w o n ' t l i e t o y o u , t h e re w a s something very cathartic about w a t c h i n g Va l e n t i n e ' s m i n d control conditioning take out a whole church of hatemongering Kentuckians (a la Westboro Baptist Church) set to Gary Rossington's awesome guitar solo on "Freebird". Still the whole thing had me wondering if this was a guilty pleasure or if I really should have felt guilty. Maybe we should all just wait for SPECTRE to come out in the Fall. Or Man from U.N.C.L.E. in August. Both of those look like proper spy movies. "Kingsman: The Secret Service runs 129 minutes and is rated R for sequences of strong violence, language, and some sexual content including brief nudity. I give this film two and a half stars out of four."

Dining Delights The Ege's own Bill Roseberry, famous for his You Gotta' Eat restaurant reviews, has put together his thoughts on a number of local eateries. Enjoy. 1860â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardshell CafĂŠ and Saloon 1860 S. 9th St., St. Louis Soulard A great place to get some Cajun and Creole food and have a good time to boot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s split into two sides, with the dining area on one end with great items like crab legs, gumbo, poâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boy sandwiches, red beans and rice and wonderful crab cakes. The other half of the building offers a full bar and live entertainment. Lotawata Creek Southern Grill 311 Salem Pl. Fairview Heights Fatten yourself up at this joint. The menu is ridiculously huge and the portions are even bigger. Get your own plate of fries for a side, or a bucket of onion rings. It offers a creative sandwich portion of the menu and great southern-style dishes, try the Mac Daddy Burger. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away hungry here, trust me. 1818 Chophouse 210 S. Buchanan St. Edwardsville This is a great place to grab a steak diinner, that is their signature dish. A good place for a fancy dinner date, the ambience in the dining area is fantastic. It offers extensive breakfast, brunch and dinner menus, but be prepared to pay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty expensive.
