March 13, 2014

People Illinois showcases history For The Edge Efforts to identify and honor the state’s most historic places paid off in 2013 with 23 Illinois buildings and 11 historic districts being added to the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings and neighborhoods are scattered from Chicago to Macomb to Alton. They include luxury apartment buildings, courthouse squares, factories and private homes. Sites are added to the National Register by the National Park Service based on recommendations from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. “Reading the list of sites added to the National Register last year really drives home what a wonderful legacy we enjoy in Illinois,” said Amy Martin, director of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. “Preserving historic buildings and districts helps communities stay vibrant. The people and groups who identify sites for the National Register deserve our deep thanks.” The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Thousands of Illinois historic and prehistoric places have been designated, and more places are added each year by applicants who want the prestige, financial benefits and protections that National Register designation provides. The 2013 additions to the National Register from Illinois include: COLLAR COUNTIES • Beecher Mausoleum, vicinity of Beecher The Beecher Mausoleum, built in 1914, is significant as a representation of a shift in the country’s burial methods. In mausoleums, the remains of people are placed in crypts, not graves. The Beecher Mausoleum is also a good local example of the Classical Revival Style. • Downtown Plainfield Historic District, Plainfield The Downtown Plainfield Historic District is locally significant as the historic commercial and civic center of Plainfield and for the variety of architectural styles found here. Lockport Street was also part of the Lincoln Highway route established in 1913. • Glen Ellyn Downtown North Historic District and Glen Ellyn Downtown South Historic District, Glen Ellyn The two downtown historic districts are significant as physical representations of the commercial history of Glen Ellyn, which evolved from a small cluster of blacksmith shops, harness-makers and groceries along a railroad in the 1850s, into a compact and lively central business district serving a booming suburban population 100 years later. The earliest buildings in the district date from the 1890s, with most from the prosperous decades of the early 20th century. • Pure Oil Station, 502 W. State St., Geneva The Pure Oil Station in Geneva is an excellent example of the Tudor Revival style, especially as it was applied to commercial architecture in the early half of the 20th century. The station also illustrates the use of architecture as a commercial marketing technique. • Waukegan Carnegie Library, Waukegan The Waukegan Carnegie Library, built in 1911, provided free public library service for the Waukegan community for over half a century. Designed by the architectural firm of Patton & Miller, the library is a good representative of the Classical Revival Style. COOK COUNTY • 320 West Oakdale Avenue, Chicago This building is a good local example of mid-20th century Modem architecture in a Chicago residential high-rise building. The 21-story, lakefront luxury apartment building was part of the tall apartment building boom that occurred in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s. The building was completed in 1954. • 42nd Precinct Police Station, 3600 N. Halsted St., Chicago The 42nd Precinct Police Station in Chicago's Lakeview community is a distinctive example of a government building in the Classical Revival style. Distinguished by its symmetrical facade arrangement, classically inspired ornament, distinctive copper cornice and grand scale, the station shows the influence of classicism on architecture after the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. • Bush Temple of Music, Chicago The Bush Temple of Music is a significant example of a commercial building in the French Renaissance Revival "Chateau-esque" style, and as an extremely rare and largescale example of the style in Chicago. Completed in early 1902, the building was constructed in a style typically reserved for mansions of the wealthy elite. • Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical University Building, 13381342 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago This building is locally significant as the home of the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical University, the Midwest’s first accredited flight school to admit black students and to hire black instructors. During the early 1900s, Chicago emerged as a center for black aviation rivaled only by Los Angeles. The building is one of the last remaining structures associated with the rise of Chicago's black aviation community. • Drucker House, Wilmette The Suzanne and Robert Drucker House is an excellent example of a Mid-century Modern house. It is simple,

Drucker House, above. Walser House, below.

functional and carefully detailed, with a design based on geometric relationships instead of historical precedent. • Kosciuszko Park Field House, 2732 N. Avers Ave., Chicago After 100 years, Kosciuszko Park Field House remains a significant building in the Logan Square Community. The 1914 field house is significant for its Tudor Revival architecture and the important social and cultural events it hosted over the decades. • The Neuville, 232 E. Walton Pl., Chicago The Neuville is a locally significant example of a luxury high-rise apartment building, a type which developed in Chicago and New York in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Neuville was one of the earlier buildings of this type constructed in the near north area of Chicago, where large single-family homes gave way to apartment buildings that offered the amenities of private mansions. • Passionist Fathers Monastery, 5700 N. Harlem Drive, Chicago The Passionist Fathers Monastery, completed in 1910, is a fine example of an early 20th century monastery with Classical, Baroque and Romanesque detailing. It is one of the largest and most prominent religious structures in the Chicago community of Norwood Park. • Polish Roman Catholic Union of America Building, 984 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago Polish Roman Catholic Union of America Building is significant for its association with Chicago's immigration settlements. The PRCUA Building continues to house the organization and the Polish Museum and Archive. It is affiliated with the cultivation of Polish identity in Chicago (the largest Polish community in the United States). • Stony Island Trust & Savings Bank Building, Chicago Completed in 1923, the Stony Island Trust & Savings Bank Building was among dozens of small Chicago neighborhood banks constructed in the late 1910s and 1920s. Owned by and catering to members of the local community, the bank became a center of Chicago South Shore economic life and a symbol of growing neighborhood prosperity. • Storkline Furniture Corporation Factory, 4400-4418 W. 26th St., Chicago Constructed in 1925 with additions through the midto-late 1930s, the building is significant for its association with the Storkline Furniture Corporation, one of the largest manufacturers of infant and juvenile furniture in the country from the 1920s through the mid-1960s. Storkline's baby carriages, cribs and school furniture were produced exclusively in this plant for more than 30 years and were distributed to 6,000 retail concerns across the country. • Strand Hotel, 6315-6323 S. Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago The Strand Hotel is the only remaining example of a residential hotel in the Woodlawn neighborhood. Completed in 1915, the Strand Hotel was at the center of one of the city's largest commercial districts and helps illustrate its history. • Vesta Accumulator Company Building, 2100 S. Indiana Ave., Chicago This building was the first purpose-built factory constructed for the Vesta Accumulator Company, a nationally known maker of batteries, head lamps and other automobile-related electrical parts. Vesta was an important player in the development of the automobile industry along Chicago's historic Motor Row, first establishing a presence on Michigan Avenue in 1905 alongside the city's earliest automobile dealerships.

• Walser House, Chicago The Joseph J. Walser House was designed in 1903 by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). The house is a fine local example of an early Prairie School work in the Austin Community Area and displays architectural qualities that have come to be synonymous with Wright's work and that of his fellow Prairie School architects. • West Argyle Street Historic District (Boundary Increase), Chicago The West Argyle Historic District boundary was increased to include more of the properties associated with district's development following the establishment of the Argyle 'L' stop. The buildings are architecturally consistent with and enhance the architectural catalog of the district. • West Loop-LaSalle Street Historic District, Chicago The West Loop-LaSalle Street District is composed of the only remaining, cohesive collection of resources that represent and illustrate the development of Chicago's downtown commercial, office and governmental core, anchored by LaSalle Street, which served as the financial center of the Midwest. This district uniquely illustrates the rich architectural heritage of Chicago, representing a full range of architectural styles and demonstrating the changing technologies that allowed for taller and taller buildings. DOWNSTATE • Broadview Hotel, East St. Louis The Broadview Hotel, completed in 1927, was built when East St. Louis was making over the city's architecture and political culture following a devastating 1917 race riot. This seven-story, Classical Revival, fireproof building was the city's largest and finest hotel. It fulfilled the developers’ vision of a hotel that would be a regional and statewide venue for conventions and meetings. • Galena Historic District (boundary change), Galena The Galena Historic District, which was listed in the National Register in 1969, represents the American experience between the years 1820 and 1930. That period in Galena history includes the first major mineral rush in U. S. history, the growth of the largest steamboat hub north of St. Louis, the development of a huge commercial center, the appearance of Ulysses S. Grant and the Civil War, and the subsequent decline of Galena into a local trade center. The district’s boundary was adjusted to better match Galena's story with available resources. • Kickapoo Building, Peoria The Kickapoo Building in Peoria, built in 1911, is an excellent example of a flatiron building. Flatiron buildings are designed to occupy all available land space created by angled street junctures, giving them a distinctive triangular shape that resembles an old-fashioned clothes iron. • Macomb Courthouse Square Historic District, Macomb The square is a rare example of the Harrisonburg Square, a type of courthouse square design with six access roads – four at the square’s corners and two in the middle. The buildings represent architectural styles from the mid-19th to the mid20th century. The district represents Macomb's evolution as the governmental and commercial center of McDonough County. • Marshall Business Historic District, Marshall The district is locally significant due to the development of Marshall in conjunction with the westward expansion of the United States through transportation. Marshall’s location along the National Road spurred development of the community, beginning in the 1820s. The commercial district is also significant for its architecture, a mix of Italianate, Romanesque, Commercial and Moderne. • Ottawa East Side Historic District, Ottawa The district has one of Ottawa's most diverse collections of high-style architecture, with a number of significant Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne residences from the 19th century, and Prairie, Craftsman and Revival-style houses from the early 20th century. Located on a peninsula created by the Illinois and Fox Rivers, the district developed as an exclusively residential area and a prime location for the city's early professional class. • Salem Baptist Church, Alton Alton’s Salem Baptist Church was constructed in 1912 for an African-American congregation organized in 1819. Throughout the early to mid-20th century, Salem Baptist Church served as the local African-American community's center of social activities. The building supported community events, clubs, meetings and civil rights activities. • Sheffield Village Hall, Sheffield The Village Hall in Sheffield is significant as an excellent example of a building constructed in the Classical Revival style with Romanesque Revival influences. Characteristics of the Classical Revival style exhibited by the Village Hall include symmetrical facade arrangement, columns in antis, entablatures, cornices and Roman grilles. • Zoe Theater, Pittsfield Zoe Theatre is an excellent example of a building constructed in the Art Moderne style with Modernist influences. The principal characteristic of the Art Moderne style exhibited by the Zoe Theatre is the exterior facade of pigmented structural glass. The building's Modernist features include the visual front entrance underneath the canopy, and the interior finishes. The Zoe Theatre is the only architectural example of this kind in Pittsfield.

“Hazzard” favorite to appear at car show The actor who made Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane an icon of the early 1980s is the featured celebrity at this year’s Greenville Graffiti Car Show. James Best, one of the costars of “The Dukes of Hazzard,” will sign autographs and serve as a celebrity judge of the classic cars and trucks on Saturday, June 14 in downtown Greenville. He will also present his one man show “Best of Hollywood” on Friday, June 13. Best’s career began in 1950 and he soon appeared alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest legends including James Stewart in “Winchester ’73” and Humphrey Bogart in “The Caine Mutiny.” Best was also featured in two o f U n i v e r sal Pictures biggest franchises---“Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair” and “Francis Goes to West Point.” Fans of 1950s horror movies may remember James Best as the star of the 1959 cult classic “The Killer Shrews.” His television appearances included two episodes of “The Andy Griffith Show” and three episodes of “The Twilight Zone.” With over 180 acting credits to his name, Best’s most beloved character was Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane from 1979 to 1985 on “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Rosco,

under the direction of Boss Hogg, spent each week chasing after the Duke boys. Car show organizers have received numerous requests to bring in a cast member from “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Best is expected to be a big draw to the event. In conjunction with his a p p e a r a n c e a t t h e G re e n v i l l e Graffiti Car Show, Best’s one man show---“Best of Hollywood”--will be performed the night before at the Globe Theater, on the Greenville square.

Lincoln Museum to exhibit movie props An exhibit of sets, costumes and props from Steven Spielberg’s award-winning movie “Lincoln” opened recently at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library

and Museum, where it will be on display for years to come. Children can explore the exhibit free of charge when accompanied by an adult. The exhibit, “Lincoln: History to Hollywood,” includes the set for Lincoln’s office, part of Mary Lincoln’s bedroom set, costumes worn by the actors and a variety of props used in the movie. It’s being displayed at Union Station, just across the street from the presidential museum. The station will serve as an annex to the presidential museum where visitors can tour the exhibit and see video presentations about the movie. “Steven Spielberg is a master story-teller, and ‘Lincoln’ is a classic. Movie buffs of all ages are going to come here to see this exhibit,” said Amy Martin, director of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. “And when they visit, they’re going to be caught up in the fascinating life of our greatest president.” “Lincoln” earned Academy Awards for Daniel Day-Lewis as Best Actor and Rick Carter for Best Production Design. “It is an honor to have this exhibit at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum,” Spielberg said when plans for the exhibit were announced. “When we visited for research on the film, it was our thought that there might be an opportunity to bring such an exhibit to Springfield, and that is

now a reality.” T h e s e t s a n d c o s t u m e s a re o n l o a n f r o m D r e a m Wo r k s Studios. This allows the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum to present the display at minimal cost to visitors. Children can tour the special exhibit at Union Station for free when accompanied by an adult. The cost for adults is just $5. Adults also have the option of buying the new “full experience” package allowing them to tour the entire presidential library and museum and the new movie exhibit for $15. That’s just $3 more than the basic museum admission price, which is not changing. Lincoln’s office is the key set in the movie. That’s where the president ponders how to pass a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery and pushes his aides to get the job done. The exhibit also includes a vignette of Mary Lincoln’s bedroom, the setting for emotional confrontations between husband and wife. Vi s i t o r s c a n s e e O s c a r nominated costumes for Lincoln, his wife and his son Tad. Props include the stethoscope from the scene of Lincoln’s death, Tad’s toys and gloves used by Daniel Day-Lewis as he portrayed Lincoln. No tax dollars were to move the exhibit from California to Springfield. That expense is being covered by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation.

Music It's like nothing you've ever heard before By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

hat happens when classical violin converges with hip-hop and a little rock, R&B and bluegrass music? You get Black Violin – a groundbreaking collaboration and genre-busting, unforgettable act – that takes the SIUE Meridian Ballroom stage at 7:30 p.m. on March 17 as the next scheduled SIUE Arts & Issues performance. Classically trained on the viola and violin, the two-some of Wilner “Wil B” Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester make up Black Violin. Accompanied by drummer Jermaine “Beatdown” McQueen, turntable DJ Dwayne “DJTK” Dalal and cellist Joseph “Joe Cello” Valbrun, Black Violin produces a sound that breaks through the barriers of genre, and is a performance not to be missed. The South Florida twosome of Baptiste and Sylvester first started Black Violin a decade ago. The duo met while playing in their high school's orchestra in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and joined the South Florida hip-hop scene after graduating college. Eventually returning to their classical roots, they fused the two genres into a groundbreaking collaboration called Black Violin, and have taken the world by storm since. Black Violin has played at both Presidential Inaugurals Balls for First Lady Michelle and President Barrack Obama in our country's capitol, and have headlined 40 shows in two stints at the New Victory

Wilner "Wil B" Baptiste and Kevin "Kev Marcus" Sylvester make Black Violin. Theater on Broadway – of which 16 shows sold out. A few other highlights from the Black Violin's numerous accomplishments over the past decade include accompanying Alicia Keys’ performance of “Karma” at the 2004 Billboard Awards and an appearance with Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump playing the hit song, “Stereo Hearts,” for

VH1’s Unplugged. Black Violin performs an average of 200 shows a year in 49 states and 36 countries and has appeared at official NFL celebrations for three Super Bowls and last year ’s U.S. Open in Forest Hills with Jordin Sparks. The British newspaper “The Independent” hailed Black Violin as one of the top five bands at the 2013 SXSW Music Festival.

Individually and together, Black Violin has collaborated with the likes of P. Diddy, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin and The Eagles. Sylvester supplied strings for a track on Lupe Fiasco’s Grammynominated Food & Liquor 2 album, and appeared on the Meek Mill cut “Maybach Curtains” with John Legend, Rick Ross and Nas. Baptiste notes in their online biography that Black Violin's music has something that everyone can enjoy. “Whether you’re an 80-year-old grand mother or a kid in kindergarten,” Baptiste says in the biography. “It’s classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, pop... just good music.” Effortlessly combining different forms of music and with Baptiste's smooth vocals, Black Violin explores R&B and soul on songs like the dreamy “End of the World” and the mournful ballad, “Interlude (Tiffany).” And while the end result is music that is inspiring to any age, Black Violin is committed to encouraging young fans and especially inspiring them to reach their own potential. They do this by tirelessly scheduling school visits as they speak to students across the county about the importance of arts education. “We’re passionate about it because we realize how fortunate we were to grow up having access to that,” Baptiste says in the biography. “It’s something in which we take a great deal of pride. We encourage kids to think creatively, to take what they love doing and try to come up with some

thing no one has ever done before. And that doesn’t just apply to playing violin or even music, but whatever it is you decide to do. Expand your mind. Once we get their attention with the music, that’s the message we want to deliver.” Black Violin's 2011 release “Triumph” marked the pinnacle of a decade-long effort to bridge the gap between the worlds of classical and popular music. “The video for the song “Triumph” illustrates the concept perfectly, as a young boy is faced with choosing between the temptations of the street and picking up a musical instrument at school,” the biography points out. “Black Violin is all about overcoming your obstacles and staying strong,” Baptiste notes. “We’re living proof that people can overcome their obstacles and triumph. This is something new and fresh. We want people to see what we’re all about.” Tickets for the Arts & Issues Black Violin March 17 performance, which is being sponsored by TheBANK of Edwardsville, may be purchased at the Dunham Hall Fine Arts Box Office from 8 a.m. until noon, the Information Booth at the Morris University Center, by calling 618-650-5774, or online at artsandissues.com. General admission is $25 while SIUE staff, retirees, alumni, and seniors over 65 are $20. Student ticket prices are $15.

Music Tuning in Florida Georgia Line to appear at state fair Country music's hottest group is coming to the 2014 Illinois State Fair. Florida Georgia Line (FGL) has been booked to perform at the Grandstand Sunday, Aug. 10. The vocal duo has rocketed to stardom since the release of its debut studio album, "Here's to the Good Times," slightly more than a year ago. The first four singles from the platinum-selling effort shot to number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, including "Cruise," the best-selling digital country song of all-time and the Country Music Association's (CMA) 2013 "Single of the Year." "The Illinois State Fair has a long tradition of bringing the biggest names in the music industry to the Grandstand stage and I think this booking ranks among the best," State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick said. "I'm looking forward to a great concert and invite fairgoers to join me in welcoming the band to Springfield." FGL's chart-topping success has won critical acclaim as well. The band was named the CMA's "Vocal Duo of the Year" last November and the Academy of Country Music's "New Artist of the Year" and "New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year." Its other number one hits are "Get Your Shine On," "Round Here" and "Stay." Additional information, including the on-sale date and ticket prices, will be posted on the fair's website, http://www.illinoisstatefair.info/, as soon as it becomes available. The 2014 Illinois State Fair will be held Aug. 7 - 17.

These have included the seasonal collection Midwinter Graces, the classically influenced Night of Hunters, and Gold Dust, a collection of orchestral re-workings of songs from across her career. Released in October 2012 Gold Dust included “Flavor,” which was remixed by the late DJ Peter Rauhofer and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Club Dance Chart in February 2013. Amos recently also launched her most ambitious project to date as a composer, along with book writer Samuel Adamson, with the musical The Light Princes, which premiered at London's National Theatre in fall of 2013. Tori Amos has sold over 12 million albums, has played over a thousand shows and has won numerous awards. Since the release of her debut album Little Earthquakes 21 years ago in 1992 where she pushed boundaries with her confessional style of songwriting, Amos continues to be adored, picking up new fans along the way, romanced by her messages of empowerment, tenderness, acerbic assertiveness, and of course her utterly peerless sound.

Hall and Oates to appear at the Peabody

Ticketmaster outlets, by phone or online. For disabled seating, call 314-622-5420. Starting out as two devoted disciples of earlier soul greats, Daryl Hall & John Oates are soul survivors in their own right. They have become such musical influences on some of today’s popular artists that the September 2006 cover of Spin Magazine’s headline read: “Why Hall and Oates are the New Velvet Underground.” Their artistic fan base includes Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and MTV’s newest hipsters Gym Class Heroes who dubbed their tour “Daryl Hall for President Tour 2007.” One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neosoul to rap-rock fusion. Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegan in the 1970’s, Daryl Hall & John Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Arif Mardin, yielded the Top 10 single, “She’s Gone,” which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Taveras. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies, (produced by Todd Rundgren) before they left and promptly signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom. From the mid-’70s to the mid’80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” from their six consecutive multiplatinum albums—’76’s Bigger Than Both of Us, ’80’s Voices, ’81’s Private Eyes, ‘82’s H2O, ‘83’s Rock N Soul, Part I and ‘84’s Big Bam

Unrepentant Geraldines is pop/ rock in both content and feel and is a change in pace from Amos’ most recent releases. The album is both one step further in the evolution of one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, and a return to the inspiring and personal music that Amos is known for all around the world.

Boom. The era would also produce an additional 5 Top 10 singles, “Sara Smile,” “One on One,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Say It Isn’t So” and “Method of Modern Love.” Daryl also wrote the H&O single "Everytime You Go Away," which singer Paul Young scored a numberone hit with a cover of the song in 1985. That same year, Daryl and John, participated in the historic “We Are the World” session as well as closing the Live Aid show in Philadelphia. By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the number-one selling duo in music history, a record they still hold today. On May 20, 2008, the duo was honored with the Icon Award during BMI’s 56th annual Pop Awards. The award has previously gone to the Bee Gees, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Paul Simon, Brian Wilson, Willie Nelson, James Brown, Ray Davies, Carlos Santana and Dolly Parton. Daryl Hall’s latest project is a multi-award-winning monthly web series (and Palladia TV show), Live from Daryl’s House (www. livefromdarylshouse.com). “It was a light bulb moment,” he says of the show’s genesis. “I’ve had this idea about just sitting on the porch or in my living room, playing music with my friends and putting it up on the Internet.” Live from Daryl’s House is also aired weekly on the Palladia Channel every Thursday at 11pm EST/8pm PST. In April of 2011, John Oates released his solo album, Mississippi Mile on Elektra Records. People Magazine gave the album 3 out of 4 stars. “[Mississippi Mile] has the opportunity to reach across the board – and that’s a winning formula.” – Nashville Lifestyles Daryl released his solo album, Laughing Down Crying, on Verve Records on September 27th, 2011.

Religion Religion briefs Netanyahu: Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish state WASHINGTON (AP) — In a White House meeting with President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. At a joint press conference, Obama said he believes that with compromise on both sides, "It is still possible to create two states, a Jewish state of Israel and a state of Palestine, with people living side by side in peace and security." Netanyahu responded that Obama "rightly" called Israel a Jewish state. The Israeli leader said Israel has been the Jewish homeland for thousands of years, and if Palestinians want recognition for a Palestinian state, they must "recognize a nation state for the Jewish people." The Palestinians reject that out of hand, saying it would undermine the property claims of displaced Palestinian refugees as well as the rights of Israel's Arab minority.

Studio adds "explanatory message" to Noah film WASHINGTON (AP) — National Religious Broadcasters President Jerry Johnson is thanking Paramount Pictures for adding what he calls a "disclaimer" to advertising for its movie

EDWARDSVILLE PLUMBING

Sales, Service, Repairs & Remodeling

"Noah," starring Russell Crowe, which debuts in theaters March 28. At Johnson's request, the studio is advising filmgoers that the movie "is inspired by the story of Noah," and that "artistic license has been taken." But Paramount says it believes that the "film is true to the essence, values, and integrity" of the story from the Bible's book of Genesis. The NRB president, who previewed the film, praises its acting, production values, and faithfulness to the biblical story's main elements of sin, judgment and restoration. Johnson warns, however, that the flood appears to be punishment for man's destruction of the environment, and that Noah wonders if his own family should be the last. That said, Johnson thinks "Noah" is better than many of today's films, and he believes Christians can enjoy it, separate fact from fiction and "pass the popcorn."

Noah's ark project to move forward LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Christian ministry's long-stalled plans to build Noah's Ark in the hills of Kentucky have been revived. Creation Museum founder Ken Ham says a municipal bond offering has raised enough money to begin construction on the Ark Encounter project, estimated to cost about $73 million. Groundbreaking is planned for May and the ark is expected to be finished by the summer of 2016.

Ham said a high-profile evolution debate he had with "Science Guy" Bill Nye earlier this month helped boost support for the project. Nye said he was "heartbroken and sickened for the Commonwealth of Kentucky" after learning that the project would move forward. The wooden ark is to have old-world details, such as wooden pegs instead of nails, straight-sawed timbers and plenty of animals — some alive, some robotic.

Group asks Supreme Court to allow California cross SAN DIEGO (AP) — A veterans group has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule a judge's order to remove a war memorial cross from a Southern California mountain. The Mt. Soledad Memorial Association on Tuesday asked the nation's highest court to allow the 43-foot cross to remain atop the mountain in San Diego. In December, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns said it must go. The veterans group— and the U.S. Department of Justice — already have asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overrule the judge. The group says it hopes appealing straight to the Supreme Court will hasten resolution of a legal dispute that began in 1989 over whether the Korean War memorial site represents an unconstitutional endorsement of Christianity on public property.

Movies

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"The Lego Movie"

Young and old fans alike know the joy of dumping a set of Legos on the floor and chucking that instruction manual. After all, throwing a portion of a helicopter on an incomplete racecar could produce the ultimate hybrid. In “The Lego Movie,” the toy brand’s first theatrical feature (there have been previous straight-to-DVD movies and also video games), audiences are encouraged to wave off routine. Lego doesn’t need a 3-D animated flick with a $60 million budget to drive sales, but it should expect a spike after this uproarious yet touching tale hits theaters. When average construction worker Emmet (voiced by an endearing Chris Pratt) accidentally falls into a pit at his worksite, he is met by Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), a sassy, Goth chick channeling Trinity in this “Matrix” for kids. Wyldstyle believes Emmet is a “Special” master builder who can save Bricksburg from the evil President Business (played with charming bite by Will Farrell), who wants to douse the town with a Krazy Glue-like substance called kragle. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “mild action and rude humor.” RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"The Monuments Men"

George Clooney, movie director, started out with so much promise. He began with two stories about television’s power, both to distort reality (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” about “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris) and to reveal it (”Good Night, and Good Luck,” about Edward R. Murrow). Neither was perfect, but the films showed tremendous potential, particularly the latter, with its thick clouds of paranoia and cigarette smoke. But Clooney has gone somewhat astray, with the football comedy “Leatherheads,” the political thriller “The Ides of March” and now “The Monuments Men.” They’re not bad pictures, but nostalgia — made urgent in “Good Night” — suffocates the World War II caper “The Monuments Men” like it did the screwball ode “Leatherheads.” Clooney’s taste is very good, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art? But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov, has fashioned his film as a traditional WWII flick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexandre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess. Only this band of brothers is more like an assembly of academics. A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned by Hitler. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America

On the Edge of the Weekend

for some images of war violence and historical smoking. RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"RoboCop"

The original 1987 “RoboCop,” Dutch director Paul Verhoeven’s first Hollywood film, isn’t so much a movie to revere as a bit of brutalism to behold. It had a grim comic vibe, satirizing the savagery of both corporate bloodthirstiness and justice-seeking rampages. Peter Weller’s RoboCop was a techno-Frankenstein created to tame Detroit’s rampant crime: Dirty Harry for dystopia. Remaking “RoboCop” is like trying to recreate a nightmare. That’s one reason why plans to remake the film were meant with mostly dubious derision: Hollywood, particularly nowadays, isn’t in the business of nihilism. Post-apocalyptic films may be all the rage, but a movie about a cop’s dead body shoved into a robot is a tad darker than Jennifer Lawrence running through the woods. Directed by Jose Padilha (the Brazilian filmmaker who made the excellent documentary “Bus 174” before shifting into action with “Elite Squad”), this “RoboCop” has updated the dystopia with some clever ideas and better acting, while at the same time sanitizing any satire with video-game polish and sequel baiting. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of action including frenetic gun violence throughout, brief strong language, sensuality and some drug material.” RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"In Secret"

There have been many stage and screen adaptations of “Therese Raquin,” Emile Zola’s 1867 novel about love and betrayal. Perhaps most notable was filmmaker Marcel Carne’s 1953 version, “The Adultress,” starring Simone Signoret and Raf Vallone. It was a classic slice of film noir; a feverish take on a sordid love affair. “In Secret” is the latest rendering of Zola’s bleak story. Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaacs, Tom Felton and Jessica Lange offer compelling performances in a provocative remake that’s stirring until its withered end. Set in 1860s France, Therese (played seductively by Olsen) is sent to live with her aunt, Madame Raquin (Lange), an entitled and needy dame who forces her niece to marry her sickly son, Camille (played delicately and artfully by Felton). When Camille gets a job as a clerk in Paris, the three move from the country to the bustling city, where Madame Raquin opens a fabric shop. Resigned to an uninspired life working in her aunt’s store, Therese, who’s become increasingly lascivious, is even welcoming the idea of sex with her effeminate cousin to satisfy her desires. RATEDL R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual content and brief violent images.” RUNNING TIME: 107 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

March 13, 2014

“Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me”

For a documentary subject as forceful as Elaine Stritch, filmmakers may need to turn to nature — a typhoon might do it — to find anything approximate. Even the camera must warily keep its distance in “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me.” She warns its operator when he gets too close: “I don’t know whether this is a skin commercial, or what.” Stritch captivates just walking down the street: greeting fans, chastising cabs, swaying to the music of the sidewalk. “I wish I could f---ing drive,” she says at the opening of the documentary. “Then I’d really be a menace.” The strong types usually seen in movies— caped men with powers, action heroes with six-packs — have nothing on this long-legged, 89-year-old New York broad. Stritch, who has long eschewed pants of any sort, has the kind of ferocious voice that old age can’t quiet. Chiemi Karasawa’s “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me” is an irresistibly entertaining documentary that captures Stritch during what she unsentimentally calls “almost posttime.” After seven decades performing in New York — on Broadway, in countless cabaret nights at the Cafe Carlyle — Stritch’s enormous energy has been knocked by the increasing years, diabetes, and surgeries on her hip and eyes. RATEDL not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America. Contains expletives. RUNNING TIME: 82 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

“Stalingrad”

Big screen. Big effects. Big budget. Big box office. It’s clear that Russian director Fedor Bondarchuk was going for something, well, big, with “Stalingrad,” the first-ever Russian film in IMAX 3D. And in a sense, that’s perfectly apt, because it would be hard to overstate how large the Battle of Stalingrad looms in the Russian psyche. The crucial Soviet victory over the Nazis in the battle, which lasted six months and was one of the bloodiest in modern warfare, was a key turning point of World War II — or what the Russians call the Great Patriotic War. And the rewards for Bondarchuk have been, yes, big, so far. “Stalingrad,” with a reported $30 million budget, is a giant hit in Russia — the studio calls it the highest-grossing Russian movie of all time — and also has done huge box office in China. Now, it’s coming to IMAX 3D screens in the United States for a week, during which the filmmakers hope to spark further interest. The only problem is that the film, while certainly impressive in its effects and a few rock-’em sock-’em battle scenes, is sorely lacking in crucial areas, namely characterization and narrative. Perhaps it wouldn’t matter, if the film didn’t attempt to be not only a blockbuster but a heart-tugging, intimate story about bravery, endurance, sacrifice and love. To accomplish that, you need a compelling script and complex characters. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of war violence.” RUNNING TIME: 135 minutes.

Matthew McConaughey, from left, holds his award for best actor for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club", Cate Blanchett holds her award for best actress in "Blue Jasmine", Lupita Nyong'o holds her award for best supporting actress for "12 Years a Slave," and Jared Leto holds his award for best supporting actor in "Dallas Buyers Club" in the press room during the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre on March 2.

Diversity wins big at Oscars By JAKE COYLE and JESSICA HERNDON Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Diversity was perhaps the biggest winner at the 86th annual Academy Awards. For the first time, a film directed by a black filmmaker — Steve McQueen of “12 Years a Slave” — won best picture and a Latino — Alfonso Cuaron of “Gravity” — took home best director in a ceremony presided over by a lesbian host and overseen by the academy’s first black president. McQueen’s grimly historical drama “12 Years a Slave” took best picture, leading the usually sedate filmmaker to jump up and down in celebration after his acceptance speech. The British director dedicated his award to “all of the people who endured slavery and the 21 million people who still suffer slavery today.”

Cuaron’s lost-in-space thriller “Gravity” led the Oscars with seven awards, including cinematography, editing, score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing. Some in his native Mexico have been critical that since the attention came for a Hollywood release and not a Mexican-themed film, his win didn’t have the same kind of importance. “I’m Mexican so I hope some Mexicans were rooting for me,” he told reporters backstage. The entire Oscar ceremony had the feel of a make-over for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — an institution that has sometimes seemed stuck in the past. After a Los Angeles Times report revealed the academy was overwhelming older white men, new president Cheryl Boone Isaacs has pushed for a more varied membership. The movie industry that the Oscars reflect has also been reluctant to tell a wider range of stories.

“Dallas Buyers Club,” the best picturenominated drama about AIDS in 1980s Texas, took two decades to get made after countless executives balked at financing such a tale. Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won best actor and best supporting actor for their roles in the film as a heterosexual rodeo rat (McConaughey) and a transgender drug addict (Leto) united by HIV. “Thirty-six million people who have lost the battle to AIDS and to those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the world with you and for you,” said Leto is his acceptance speech. Cate Blanchett, best-actress winner for her bitter, ruined socialite in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine,” used her acceptance speech to trumpet the need to make films with female leads — films like her own and like “Gravity,” starring Sandra Bullock. A study by analyst

Kevin B. Lee found that last year’s lead actors averaged 100 minutes on screen, but lead actresses averaged only 49 minutes. “To the audiences who went to see the film and perhaps those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the center, are niche experiences, they are not,” said Blanchett. “Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money.” “12 Years a Slave” also won awards in the writing and acting categories. John Ridley picked up the trophy for best adapted screenplay, which was based on the 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup. The screenwriter is only the second black writer (Geoffrey Fletcher won for “Precious” in 2009) to win in the category. Backstage, the “12 Years” team mentioned their efforts to include Solomon Northup’s memoir as part of high school study.

"Non-Stop" is fairly formulaic By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Since his breakout role in "Taken" in 2008, Liam Neeson has really erupted into a strong second half of a career as an action star. What sets this 61-year old actor apart from the other senior citizen pool of butt-kicking actors (Stallone, S c h w a r z e n e g g e r, i n c re a s i n g l y Bruce Willis) is his calm. The situations his characters find themselves range from ordinary by the standards of Hollywood to downright preposterous. And, yet, Neeson's characters respond logically, thoughtfully, and with a quiet vengeance that is just a lot of fun to watch. He's pushed to limits by the tense action in his new film, Non-Stop, but it never changes

the fact that we know this guy is a hero. "Non-Stop" is a relatively easy film to understand and I'm sure that's what drew a lot of people to it last weekend when it enjoyed a nice $30 million opening. Neeson plays Bill Marks, a hard-drinking fella who looks like he could use a shave and a good night's sleep. But Bill isn't just having a bad week. He's been spiraling out of control for the better part of the last decade since he lost his wife and daughter, Olivia. Given his demons and his stresses, it gives you pause to think that Bill has a job where responsibility and self-control are pretty much top targets. He's a federal air marshal working for the Department of Homeland Security. Yep, he's the one guy allowed to

carry a weapon on-board a flight. All this background comes into play on the worst day of Bill's career. On a trans-Atlantic flight from New York to London, he's forced to deal with the usual hardships: no drink onboard, whiny passengers, hovering flight attendants (including recent Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o), and the great lengths he has to go to to sneak a smoke in the lavatory. Bill hates to fly, but that's how he makes his living after being bounced off the force at the NYPD. In the darkened cabin of the nighttime flight, his encrypted phone begins to receive threatening text messages that promise a murder will be committed at 35,000 feet every twenty minutes unless Bill works with the airline to transfer

$150 million into the account of the anonymous madman. How's that for a tight light plot? Working with a second air marshal (Anson Mount), a trusted flight attendant (Michelle Dockery, Lady Mary on TV's Downton Abbey), and his vetted seatmate (Julianne Moore), Bill begins using all the tricks at his disposal to track the terrorist. He uses in-flight security monitors to keep an eye on some of the more suspicious passengers and works with the flight crew to make sure the TSA is working on the ground to identify anyone on the manifest that might have a grudge against the airline or Bill directly. Something about this ransom feels oddly personal all along. When Bill himself is implicated in the crime, he's forced to take more drastic

March 13, 2014

steps to not just stop a killer, but to also defend himself. By the time he uncovers a bomb inside a carry-on, he's already been branded a hijacker. For a brief moment, and because of the tense reaction of some of the more colorful characters among the passengers, this movie had a fleeting feeling of being as good as Paul Greengrass's magnificent United 93. Instead, it's a fairly formulaic thriller that goes through its natural pacing to a so-so ending that reminded me a lot more of the Kurt Russell/Halle Berry vehicle, Executive Decision. And that's so 1996. "Non-Stop runs 118 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some language, sensuality, and drug references. I give this film two stars out of four. "

Travel The Civil War in Missouri Updates enchance learning experience at Jefferson Barracks By Tom Uhlenbrock Missouri Department of Tourism In order to see the country’s newest Civil War museum, you’ll have to visit the oldest active military installation west of the Mississippi River. The Missouri Civil War Museum is in a recently restored building on the parade grounds at the Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in St. Louis. Established in 1826, Jefferson Barracks served soldiers in every major military conflict in America’s history, from the Black Hawk War in 1832 to the current conflict in Afghanistan. Some 220 Civil War generals – from Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee and William Tecumseh Sherman to Confederate President Jefferson Davis – served duty at Jefferson Barracks. The national cemetery on the sprawling site is the final resting place for more than 16,000 Union and Confederate soldiers. The four-story, 1905 Post Exchange and Gymnasium Building, which served as a gym, barracks and hospital before closing in 1946, has been meticulously restored and stocked with a treasure trove of artifacts, thanks largely to the effort of Mark Trout. A former Marine, city police officer and general contractor, Trout was attending a swap meet at Jefferson Barracks in 2002 when he saw the deteriorating red-brick building, which was boarded up and abandoned. “I wondered who’d own a beautiful building like that and do nothing with it,” said Trout, 50. “I’ve tinkered with old buildings all my life. The joke is that my heroes are Abraham Lincoln and Bob Vila of ‘This Old House’.” Trout struck a deal with St. Louis County, which owned the building. He would lead a grass-roots effort to restore the building as a Civil War museum. With a healthy dose of volunteer labor and materials, the

Missouri Department of Tourism

Mark Trout, above, was the leader of a grass-roots effort that created the museum with no taxpayer funds. Below, the new Missouri Civil War Museum is in a restored building on the Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in St. Louis. restoration spent about $1.7 million in the 10-year effort to bring the building back to life. “We started with an organization of one at the time, and now have almost 700,” Trout said. “There is no federal, no state, no taxpayer money in this project and we had only one major corporate contributor (Emerson Electric Co.).

On the Edge of the Weekend

This project was primarily funded on a grass-roots level by thousands of donations from individuals throughout the nation. “We wanted to bring the building back to the original architectural style, and we’ve done that. If someone hadn’t done something, this building wouldn’t be here today.”

March 13, 2014

Trout owned some Civil War memorabilia; his small collection became the first donation to the building’s displays. As word spread, families with war heirlooms started donating them to the museum. Many of the items came from the relatives of soldiers who served at Jefferson Barracks. “Today, we have about 2,000 artifacts; more than 500 on display,” Trout said. Asked to name a few of the most prized possessions, he replied: “That’s hard to do. They’re like my children – they’re all my favorites.” On display are nearly every type of object that would have been used during the Civil War – from weapons, flags and uniforms to drums, crutches and bibles. One exhibit tells the story of Charles Bieger, a private in the 4th Missouri Cavalry. Bieger was honored for entering enemy fire to rescue his captain, who had been shot from his horse in the Battle of Ivy Farm in Mississippi in February 1868. “We have his spurs, portrait, saber, musket and bayonet,” Trout said of Bieger. “And, of course, we have his two Medals of Honor.” A Wagon, Cannon and Real Horse The self-guided tour starts in a room where a video explains Missouri’s early Border War with Kansas, years before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861. On a lower level, portraits of Missouri soldiers who fought in the war flash on a screen. The main floor features a large open atrium with what formerly was an elevated running track on

the mezzanine around the room’s perimeter. Poster-sized photos of a historic nature hang in the mezzanine. The walls below are lined with display cases filled with artifacts. A cannon, Studebaker wagon and stuffed horse stand on an oval island in the center of the room. “We wanted a real horse on exhibit; fiberglass horses didn’t have the same impact,” Trout said. “Well over a million horses died in the Civil War. It was important to give them their due. Plus, children who live in the city may never have seen a real horse.” Although the main 16,000-squarefoot building is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, the job is not finished. Trout’s efforts have extended next door, where a smaller building is being restored for use as a library and research center. The target opening: 2015. “We have more than 12,000 books and documents,” Trout said. “The 1918 building next door is being restored as the Civil War Research Library and Student Education Center.” A database is being compiled so visitors can look-up the war history of their relatives. “The Jefferson Barracks Historic District had been in decline since World War II,” Trout said. “We knew a project like our museum could help ignite a revitalization of the historic site and it has done that. Now the final boarded-up building is being restored.” Admission to the Missouri Civil War Museum: $7; ages 65 and over, $6; ages 5-12, $5; younger than 5 and active duty military, free.

Hometown Teams Smithsonian exhibit traveling across Illinois For The Edge

owhere do Americans more intimately connect to sports than in their hometowns. A new traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution, Hometown Teams: Sports in American Communities, celebrates this connection and will be coming to six towns in Illinois beginning this March. The exhibit will reach Rock Island on September 13 to October 26, 2014. The Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) is bringing this national exhibit for sixweek spans to the towns and surrounding areas of Cobden, Mattoon, Nokomis, Waterloo, Rock Island, and Carthage, Illinois. The Union County Historical & Genealogy Society in Cobden, Illinois, will be the first to open the exhibit on March 1, 2014. The full tour itinerary can be viewed below and online at www.Prairie.org The exhibit seeks to use sports to reflect on the trials and triumphs of the American experience that have shaped the country's national character, and to capture the history and pride of communities through the prism of sports. All levels of sports will be covered, from professional match-ups to pick-up games on the local playground. The exhibition is national in theme and local in scope, with each site contributing their local history, legends, and memorabilia in their community. It is in this aspect of the exhibit where each host site will have a chance to shine. Some of the many stories that will be showcased include that of the TriCity Blackhawks, one of the first franchises in what eventually became the NBA, and their hall of fame coach Red Auerbach; Monroe County's fascination with the notoriously difficult card game Kloepper; Mattoon's claim as "Baseball Capital of the World"; and the legendary 1964 run to the state basketball final by Cobden High School's famous Appleknockers. "Small towns scattered along the prairie are the heart and soul of Illinois, and each has a history worthy of sharing," said Mallory Laurel, the IHC's coordinator for the tour. 'This exhibit will give them the chance to share this history of legendary upsets, championship runs, rivalries, traditions, individuals and teams, and tell a greater story about the region." Laurel and other IHC staff will be working with the host sites throughout 2014 to help them prepare for the exhibit's arrival. Hometown Teams is part of the Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program, a partnership

between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and the IHC. MoMS serves small-to medium-sized communities across Illinois by bringing Smithsonian-quality exhibitions to local museums, historical societies, libraries, and community centers around the state. In addition, the states of New Jersey, West Virginia, Nebraska, and Idaho are also premiering the exhibit in 2014. The exhibit is scheduled to visit the following towns in Illinois: • Union County Museum w/Union County Historical & Genealogy Society, Cobden: March 1-April14 • City of Mattoon Tourism & Arts Department w/Coles Co. Historical Society, Mattoon: April19-June 1 • Bottomley-Ruffing-Schalk Museum, Nokomis: June 7-July 20, 2014 • History Museum of Monroe County w/Waterloo Museum Society, Waterloo: July 26September 7, 2014 • Rock Island Public Library, Rock Island: September 13October 26, 2014 • Friends of Hancock County, Carthage: November 1-December 14, 2014 Special events and presentations reflecting the local histories of each site will also take place. Visit the Illinois Humanities Council's website at www.prairie.org for

additional information about Hometown Teams. The Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) is a philanthropic and educational organization dedicated to making the humanities a vital part of the lives of individuals and communities in Illinois, regardless of their economic resources, cultural background, or geographic location. This year, it marks 40 years of developing or funding educational activities and programs throughout the state, including lectures, seminars, performances, exhibitions, films, library discussions, and written materials - all free and open to the public. Organized as a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1973, the IHC is now a private nonprofit (501 [c) 3) supported by state, federal, and private funds. For information on the Quad Cities, contact the Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau at 800-747-7800 or visit their website at www.visitquadcities.com. The Quad Cities is located on the Mississippi River and is made up of the riverfront Cities of Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Moline, East Moline and Rock Island in Illinois. The area is just a 2-½ hour drive from Des Moines, Iowa, and Chicago, Illinois. It is easily accessible via I-80, I-74, I-88 and several major state highways.
