For The Edge

Above is an artist's rendering of the Litchfield Museum & Route 66 Welcome Center. Below is the historic Ariston Cafe, on Route 66.

Litchfield will pay tribute to Route 66 Museum and welcome center are in the works A new museum and visitor center is being created in Litchfield, Illinois to showcase the community’s rich history and highlight the area’s growing number of tourist attractions. The Litchfield Museum & Route 66 Welcome Center is being constructed at 200 South Old Route 66 on the site of the former ‘Vic’ Suhling Gas For Less and near other iconic Route 66 restaurants and landmarks still in operation. The new facility is designed to reflect the Route 66 era. An official opening date has not been set.

The project is being organized by the museum’s foundation, and funding is being provided entirely through private sources and grants. In addition, Litchfield City Administrator Andy Ritchie, P.E., is currently riding a bicycle on Route 66 from California to Chicago to raise money for the new museum and visitor center.

“Litchfield is a popular destination for travelers exploring Route 66, and this museum and welcome center will further enrich our visitors’ knowledge and perceptions of this area,” said Carol Burke, Tourism Coordinator for the City of Litchfield.

“Three miles of the original Mother Road pass through Litchfield, and several iconic restaurants and businesses dating from the 1920s

through the 1950s continue to operate here, including the Ariston Café and the Sky View Drive-In. Visitors here can experience the oldest restaurant still operating along Route 66 in Illinois, as well as the

only continuously operating drive-in movie theater along the historic road in Illinois.”

This year the Route 66 Association of Illinois’ annual motor tour will stop in Litchfield, bringing many

Route 66 enthusiasts for lunch at the Wooden Nickel Winery. The Grand Marshall of this year’s tour is Nicholas Adam, co-owner of the Ariston Café. Opened in 1924, the Ariston Café is a member of the

Route 66 Hall of Fame.

In addition to its Route 66 appeal, Litchfield also offers visitors a diverse mix of recreational experiences, including the 1,400-acre Lake Lou Yaeger for watersports, a historically preserved downtown area with many points of interest, 250+ hotel rooms, a broad range of dining options, nearby golf courses and wineries, antique shopping, camping, picnicking, biking and horseback riding.

Litchfield (pop. 7,000) is conveniently located on Interstate 55 midway between the St. Louis metropolitan area and Springfield, Illinois. Long known as a commercial and industrial crossroads with strong Route 66 history, today Litchfield is a diversified and classic Midwestern community that is proud of its regional influence and growing tourist appeal. Residents, businesses and visitors enjoy a relaxed lifestyle supported by a stable economy, established industrial infrastructure, broad range of retail and cultural amenities, solid educational system, regional healthcare center and a large public lake offering outdoor recreational opportunities and lakefront living.

People People planner Springfield to host Route 66 Festival The 2nd Annual Birthplace of Route 66 Festival & Car Show is set for 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11 on Park Central square in downtown Springfield, Mo. The festival is free and open to the public.

The event will feature a car show, food vendors, a kids’ area and more.

Live entertainment will be Queen City Cats and Blue Plate Special at 10 a.m., The Detectives at 1 p.m. and The Road Crew at 3 p.m. The Road Crew is winner of the first ever “Bobby Troup Artistic Recognition Award” from the International Route 66 Association in 2011. They wrote a song especially for this festival.

Car show registration is $15 in advance or $20 the day of the event.

Prizes will be awarded for the car show in a variety of categories.

Spectators will vote on their favorites. Car show registration is 79:30 a.m. and awards are presented at 3 p.m., along with The John T. Woodruff Award.

The Woodruff award is named for the prominent Springfieldian who served as a Chamber of Commerce president and was the first president of the National Route 66 Association. It recognizes an outstanding individual who has helped promote the historic highway.

Officially recognized as the birthplace of Route 66, it was in Springfield on April 30, 1926, that officials first proposed the name of the new Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway. In 1938, Route 66 became the first completely paved transcontinental highway in America—the “Mother Road”— stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast.

Traces of the Mother Road are still visible in Springfield along the Route 66 By-Pass, Kearney Street, Glenstone Avenue, College and St. Louis streets and on Missouri 266 to Halltown.

required and includes all supplies and snacks. Payment is due at time of registration to insure placement in the camp. Participants need to bring a sack lunch from home. Space is limited to 12 participants. Please call Stephenson House (692-1818) if you have questions or need further information.

The 1820 Colonel Benjamin Stephenson House is one of the few fine examples of a Federal style home still standing in Illinois. It is the oldest brick structure in Madison County, and the only home of a signer of the Illinois Constitution that still exists. Colonel Stephenson’s contributions to Illinois and United States History are numerous, and the restored house is used as a living history museum to demonstrate life as he and his family experienced in 1820 Edwardsville. The Stephenson House is located at 409 South Buchanan Street in Edwardsville, Illinois.

Drum Corps Show returns to McKendree July 16 Marching Music’s Major League will return to McKendree University this summer as part of Drum Corps International’s (DCI) 2012 tour.

“We are very proud and happy to once again host such a prestigious, nationally known event on our campus. Last year was the first time a drum and bugle corps show was presented in the St. Louis metro area in six years,” said David Boggs, director of bands at McKendree. He is a past member of the Chicago area Cavaliers and a former instructor for the Cadets of Bergen County, N.J.

People People planner Roller Derby championship coming to St. Louis The St. Louis Gatekeepers will host the 2012 Men's Roller Derby Association National Championship, "Gateway to the Best." This fast and heavy-hitting weekend takes place October 20-21, 2012 and will feature the MRDA's top eight teams in the end-of-season rankings. Competition for those spots will be especially tough as the MRDA continues in its mission to encourage the growth and development of men's roller derby by nearly doubling in the past year to 20 teams. The Gatekeepers will work closely with the MRDA to build on the success of last year's inaugural championship. The Gatekeepers, founded in November 2009, have grown to become one of the most successful teams in men's roller derby, skill-wise and in sheer number of skaters. They bring a wealth of tournament knowledge by virtue of participating in last year's championship as well as competing in Spring Roll men's tournament.

The 2012 MRDA Championship will be held at theMidwest Sport Hockey Complex. With a new Sport Court surface installed this past November, Midwest Sport is the premier inline roller hockey facility in the Midwest making it the ideal spot for high-caliber roller derby.

And, ample stadium seating will provide a quality spectator experience. The complex is located in beautiful Edgar M. Queeny County Park in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin, just 20 minutes from the city.

Stay tuned tohttp://mrdachampionships. com/Â for more information including ticket sales as the tournament approaches.

Zoo to feature Inspired by Nature exhibit Escape to a temperature-controlled haven at the Saint Louis Zoo where a buffalo roams, an eagle soars, a rhino storms, a black wolf silhouettes against a night sky and a tiger emerges in the dawn. These things and more can be seen at Inspired by Nature, a collection of stunning original paintings by internationally acclaimed wildlife artist and conservationist, Robert Bateman, opening to the public on May 11 in Peabody Hall. The exhibit features more than 20 major wildlife paintings in Bateman’s portfolio, including Majesty on the Wing, Master of the Herd and Power Play.

Admission to Inspired by Nature is free.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

Over his 50-plus year career as a wildlife artist, Bateman has exhibited his work in England, Monaco, Japan, South Africa, Russia, and throughout Canada and the U.S., including a major show at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History in Washington,

D.C. The National Audubon Society named Bateman one of the 20th Century’s 100 Champions of Conservation in 1998. “Robert Bateman’s ability as an artist to observe, record and bring to life the beauty and majesty of a golden eagle plummeting from a mountaintop, a moose making tracks in the snow, or a white-throated sparrow singing atop a stem has truly helped many people develop a closer connection to nature, something that is at the core of the Saint Louis Zoo’s mission,� said Dr. Jeffrey P. Bonner, Dana Brown president & CEO of the Saint Louis Zoo. Inspired by Nature will also be the focus of various Education Department programs and activities that give visitors and members an opportunity to explore their own artistic skills.

The Zoo will be partnering with Bateman’s Get to Know Program, designed to employ art contests, events and other techniques to connect young people with the animals and plants of their local natural areas throughout Canada and the U.S. To register for programs, visit www.stlzoo.org/education or call (314) 646-4544.

Inspired by Nature is made possible through the generous bequest of longtime Zoo donors, C.C. Johnson and Edith Spink, and with the support of the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation.

Peabody Hall, located on Historic Hill, was originally an elephant house which kept such celebrities as Miss Jim. In 2010, the building was fully renovated to become an exhibit hall and rental facility. Inspired by Nature is Peabody Hall’s second exhibit and is slated to run through 2014.

Lincoln Museum to host Civil War exhibit The deadliest weapon of the Civil War was one that nobody could see, killing two soldiers for every one felled by gunfire.

The extraordinary casualties caused by that invisible killer, disease; the conventional weapons used to create slaughter on an unprecedented scale; horrific injuries suffered on the battlefield; and the heroic efforts of medical personnel to treat soldiers on both sides are described in detail in “To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War,� a new exhibit that opened May 11 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield.

This Civil War 150th anniversary exhibit runs through 2013 and features original images and artifacts from the Presidential Library and Museum’s collections supplemented by unique artifacts from the Illinois State Military Museum, The Museum of the Confederacy, Rush University Medical Center Archives, Fort Sumter National Historic Site, Nancy Ross Chapter of the DAR from Pittsfield, University Museum

of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and the Old State Capitol State Historic Site. Visitors can see an original Civil War hospital flag; a field stretcher; a door used as a surgical table; original weapons; a tree trunk from the Battle of Chickamauga with an embedded artillery shell; various medical and surgical tools, including an amputation kit; a crude leg prosthesis; a drum carried by a wounded soldier; and original letters, journals, drawings, clinical photographs and medical records. “Northerners and Southerners shared similar weapons, military training, and medical knowledge at the beginning of the Civil War,� said Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Executive Director Eileen Mackevich. “Both sides also shared a lack of preparedness for the human carnage that modern warfare would create. This new exhibit shows in very graphic and human terms the wounds and illnesses suffered by soldiers and the herculean task of providing medical care to the sick and wounded.�

The experiences of actual soldiers are prevalent throughout the exhibit, including quotes and photographs, lending a human touch to the horror of war. Some of the images come from original medical files and graphically depict the effects of deadly weapons and even deadlier germs on the bodies of Union and Confederate soldiers.

The exhibit opens with the weapons that caused the wounds during the Civil War, including guns, ammunition, artillery and edged weapons. This section also deals with the increased effectiveness of the weapons, and how carefully trained soldiers could create havoc while using them. Union Captain John C. Van Dozer wrote in 1863 about a Confederate sharpshooter his unit encountered: “One mile up the river from Mason’s house, one fellow, using a Mississippi rifle, killed everything he shot at, man, horse, or mule; he killed 3 men and wounded 2, and killed about a dozen mules.�

Wounds caused by the various weapons and treatment for those injuries are described in a section that includes gun shot wounds, amputations, artificial limbs and anesthesia.

Several soldier stories illustrate this section, including this quote from Union soldier David R. Gregg in an 1864 letter to his wife, Sarah Gregg: “it is the awfulest Sight you Ever Saw our Men are Wounded in Evry part of them that I Can describe from the Crown to the Sole of the foot.�

Diseases, infections and treatments are examined in a section that deals with colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, measles, smallpox (which afflicted Abraham Lincoln around the time of the Gettysburg Address), sexually transmitted diseases, malaria, scurvy, typhoid (which killed the Lincolns’ son Willie in the White House), diarrhea, and dysentery. Chronic diarrhea and dysentery were the leading causes of death by disease during the Civil War. Intestinal diseases so

concerned commanders on both sides that they issued orders such as these from U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles in 1862: “The water of the James River‌is turbid and objectionable for drinking. It is the only sewer for an army of 90,000 or 100,000 men encamped upon its banks, as well as the great number of naval and other vessels scattered over its surface. The addition of the drainage of this vast accumulation of men and cattle to the vegetable matter abounding in the river would obviously render the use of its water as a drink productive of diarrhea and other bowel disorders. Fleet Surgeon Wood recommends that the use of its water as a drink be interdicted.â€?

The medical personnel who provided treatment to the sick and wounded are profiled in the exhibit. There were just 113 military doctors in the prewar Union army; by the end of the Civil War, the Union had more than 12,000 and the Confederacy 3,200.

Most nurses were male, but a female nurse, famed author Louisa May Alcott, wrote in her Hospital Sketches about recovering soldiers who because of nursing shortages were pressed into duty to care for their comrades: “I should like to enter my protest against employing convalescents as attendants, instead of strong, properly trained, and cheerful men...here it was a source of constant trouble and confusion, these feeble, ignorant men trying to sweep, scrub, lift, and wait upon their sicker comrades. One, with a diseased heart, was expected to run up and down stairs, carry heavy trays, and move helpless men; he tried it, and grew rapidly worse than when he first came; and, when he was ordered out to march away to the convalescent hospital, fell, in a sort of fit, before he turned the corner, and was brought back to die.� Well-known figures such as poet Walt Whitman, whose experiences will be described in the exhibit, provided comfort to the wounded and dying in military hospitals. “To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War� opens about a month after the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, the first Civil War battle with massive casualties on a scale that indicated what the remaining years of the war would bring. Glenna Schroeder-Lein is the curator, and she worked closely with an exhibits team consisting of John Malinak, Michael Casey, Carla Smith, Katie Grant, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation, staff from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, and numerous community groups, institutions, and individuals to create the exhibit.

Paid admission to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is required to view the exhibit. Admission prices are $12 for adults, $9 for senior citizens, and $6 for children. A special admission rate of $5 is available to those who want to visit only the new exhibit.

Guarini to star at The Muny Broadway sensation and recording artist Justin Guarini will captivate St. Louis audiences when he stars in The Muny's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat, July 23 - 29, 2012. This will be Justin's Muny debut.

"I'm thrilled to be playing the role of Joseph," commented Justin.

"Being able to do it in front of 11,000 people every night, outside and under the stars, is truly magical. I'm honored to be part of the history and tradition of The Muny."

Muny Executive Producer Mike Isaacson stated, "When I saw Justin in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on Broadway, I knew I wanted to bring him to the Muny stage. I'm so excited to bring his talent, energy and magnetism to Joseph. People may know Justin only as a recording artist, but after seeing him on the Muny stage, they will see why he is an up-and-coming Broadway star."

St. Louis to host American Arts Experience This fall, American artists across a wide variety of mediums will take the stage in St. Louis as they participate in the third annual American Arts Experience-St. Louis, a 17-day festival showcasing national and local talent. The festival will take place October 5 through October 21, 2012 throughout St. Louis.

This year ’s festival happenings will include: • a large sound installation and performance by Composer in Residence, Eric Hall at Laumeier Sculpture Park • jazz and folk concerts at The Sheldon, including a world premiere commission by pianist Peter Martin in celebration of The Sheldon’s 100th Anniversary • theatre by American playwrights at the Edison Theatre at Washington University • a new initiative by Dance St. Louis, which has commissioned re n o w n e d c h o re o g r a p h e r s t o collaborate with four local dance companies • Native American exhibits at the Saint Louis Art Museum

• Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden • “Count Your Blessings,” a Rosemary Clooney musical tribute at the Missouri History Museum • classical compositions at the St. Louis Symphony • a world premiere of hip hOZ, an original hip hop production that takes audiences down the yellow brick road.

The grassroots festival is a collaboration among arts organizations to draw attention to the quality and breadth of the arts in St. Louis. American Arts Experience aims to attract new audiences both within the region and from around the country. The festival began in the fall of 2010, with over 100,000 people attending over 200 events presented by 48 arts and cultural institutions.

"In a tough economy, we felt it was challenging to create a traditional festival, where organizations must relocate to a different space,” says Paul Reuter, founder of the festival and executive director of The Sheldon. “But with the American Arts Experience, artists get to work in their own environments, which gives them more creative freedom…

For few glorious weeks in October, St. Louis is going to experience a cultural renaissance.”

“Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted”

Ben Stiller’s Alex the lion provides a review so we don’t have to. Halfway into the third animated tale about New York City zoo animals on their overseas adventures, Alex tells some new circus friends that their act was not too entertaining for families “because you were just going through the motions out there.”

So, too, for this latest sequel, which goes through a lot of motions — explosions of action and image so riotously paced that they become narcotic and numbing. With Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath, creators of the first two “Madagascar” flicks, joined by a third director in Conrad Vernon (”Shrek 2”), the filmmakers just cannot stop stuffing things, to the point of distraction, into “Europe’s Most Wanted.” The result: A cute story about zoo animals running off to join the circus becomes overwhelmed by a blur of color and animated acrobatics. The pictures certainly are pretty, but the filmmakers apparently are unwilling to risk the slightest lapse of audience attention, so they put the movie on fast-forward and let centripetal force hurtle viewers along from start to finish. Joining Stiller are returning voice stars Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron Cohen and Cedric the Entertainer, plus newcomers Frances McDormand, Bryan Cranston, Jessica Chastain and Martin Short.

RATED: PG for some mild action and rude humor.

RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“Peace, Love & Misunderstanding”

In theory, the idea of Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Olsen playing three generations of women in the same family should be delightful, or at least well-acted. In reality, veteran director Bruce Beresford’s dramedy squanders the abilities of these usually fearless, formidable actresses with material that’s entirely predictable and a high sap factor that belongs on cable television. Before we arrive at such mawkishness, though, we must slog through some seriously sitcommy humor: generational clashes, fish-out-of-water antics and tired hippieculture cliches. Fonda brings her typically radiant screen presence to what could have been a wild, fun role: She plays Grace, a free-spirited grandma living in a ramshackle Woodstock, N.Y., farmhouse where she grows her own pot and gets frisky with the neighbors. Her uptight Manhattan lawyer daughter, Diane (Keener), naturally is the polar opposite. Somewhere in the middle in terms of temperament and interests is Diane’s collegestudent daughter, Zoe (Olsen). When Diane’s husband (a barely there Kyle MacLachlan) abruptly announces he’s divorcing her at the film’s start, she packs up Zoe and her teenage son, Jake (Nat Wolff), for a road trip upstate to visit granny, from whom she’s been estranged for the past 20 years.

“Prometheus”

Nothing could possibly satisfy the fervent expectation that has built for this sorta-prequel to the genre-defining “Alien,” Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction for the first time in 30 years, but “Prometheus” comes close. Strikingly beautiful, expertly paced, vividly detailed and scary as hell, it holds you in its grip for its entirety and doesn’t let go. You’ll squeal, you’ll squirm — at one point, I was curled up in a little ball in my seat in a packed screening room — and you’ll probably continue feeling a lingering sense of anxiety afterward. That’s how effective it is in its intensely suspenseful mood. But the further you get away

from it, the more you may begin to notice some problems with the plot, both nagging holes and a narrative fuzziness. Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Logan Marshall-Green lead a crew of space explorers to a remote moon in the year 2093 hoping to find answers to the origin of mankind on Earth. (Don’t they know they should have been looking in central Texas?

That’s where Terrence Malick searched in “The Tree of Life.”) But when they arrive at this gorgeously severe land, they (naturally) stumble upon secrets and perils they never could have imagined.

Scott and writers Damon Lindelof (executive producer of “Lost”) and Jon Spaihts vaguely touch on the notions of belief vs. science and creation vs. Darwinism, but these philosophical debates never feel fleshed out fully. Still, the performances are excellent, especially from Michael Fassbender as a robot with the looks and impeccable manners of an adult but the innocence and dangerous curiosity of a child.

RATED: R for sci-fi violence, including some intense images, and brief language.

RUNNING TIME: 123 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Safety Not Guaranteed”

In his feature directing debut, Colin Trevorrow manages the tricky feat of moving subtly and seamlessly among several different genres within a relatively short period of time. With a low-budget intimacy, his film begins life as an oddball road-trip comedy, then turns unexpectedly romantic before becoming a genuinely paranoid, sci-fi thriller. It also provides a welcome showcase for Aubrey Plaza in a rare leading role as Darius, a sullen intern at a Seattle magazine who becomes the reluctant participant in a pseudo-journalistic investigation.

The clever premise from screenwriter Derek Connolly finds Darius and two of her co-workers — cynical reporter Jeff (Jake Johnson) and fellow intern Arnau (Karan Soni) — traveling to find the person who placed an intriguing classified ad.

“Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke,” it reads in part. “Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed.” They track down Kenneth (Mark Duplass), a loner grocery store clerk, in a small, coastal Washington town, then attempt to infiltrate his life to get to the bottom of this bizarre story.

RATED: R for language including some sexual references.

RUNNING TIME: 85 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Rock of Ages”

Just when you thought you’d never hear Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me” again outside of a strip club comes this big, splashy homage to the decadence of 1980s rock ‘n’ roll. Specifically, we’re talking about 1987 on the Sunset Strip, the birthplace of bands like Guns N’ Roses and Poison, and all the big-haired, eye-linered debauchery that defined that scene. Your enjoyment of this musical, based on the Tony-nominated Broadway show, will depend greatly on your enjoyment of this music — because director Adam Shankman crams in a lot of it. Did you make out in a car with your high school honey past curfew to Skid Row’s “I Remember You”? If your answer is yes, you’ll probably have a good time, even though the movie lasts an awfully long time. Sure, the characters are all broad types, from fresh-faced newcomers with dreams of stardom to grizzled, cynical veterans who’ve seen it all. And sure, their antics are glossed-up and watered-down compared with reality to ensure a PG-13 accessibility. But the movie has enough energy to keep you suitably entertained, as well as a knowing, cheeky streak that prevents it from turning too reverent and self-serious. Julianne Hough stars as Sherrie, a wholesome blonde fresh off the bus from Oklahoma who hopes to make it as a singer in Los Angeles. Instead, she ends up working as a waitress at the venerable (and fictional) Bourbon Room, where she quickly falls for aspiring rocker Drew (Diego Boneta). But the club has lost

July 5, 2012

some of its cache, to the distress of its owner (Alec Baldwin in long hair and a leather vest) and his right-hand man (Russell Brand, being Russell Brand), so they’re hoping a performance from rock god Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise, easily the best part of the film) will keep the place alive.

RATED:: PG-13 for sexual content, suggestive dancing, some heavy drinking and language.

“Your Sister’s Sister”

An almost hypnotic sense of naturalism draws you into this intimate comic-drama about three people who find their lives intertwined in sudden and unexpected ways. Writer-director Lynn Shelton, who made the possibility of gay porn between straight best friends seem logical if not downright inevitable in 2009’s “Humpday,” once again employs her preferred tactic of having her actors collaborate on developing their characters and improvising their dialogue. (The stars get a “creative consultant” credit.) The result is appealingly, believably imperfect, and although the end feels a bit too tidy by comparison, it also has an emotional impact that will sneak up on you. That’s thanks to Mark Duplass, who also co-starred in “Humpday,” making an understated, final plea that’s sweetly heartbreaking. It’s probably his best work yet, his most mature and deeply felt, and he’s been everywhere in the past year or so between this, “Safety Not Guaranteed,” the FX series “The League” and his own directing efforts like “Jeff, Who Lives at Home.” Here, Duplass stars as Jack, who’s still feeling shattered a year after the death of his brother. Jack’s best friend, Iris (Emily Blunt), suggests that he get away for a while on his own by visiting her family’s remote cabin on an island off the Washington coast. When he arrives, though, he finds that Iris’ sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), is already there trying to find her own peace. The two share a painfully honest, awkward, drunken night that leads to an even weirder morning when Iris shows up unannounced.

Through the highs and lows, confrontations and revelations, all three performers play off each other beautifully.

RATED: R for language and some sexual content.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

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

“That’s My Boy”

Next to last year ’s abysmal “Jack and Jill,” Adam Sandler’s latest movie looks almost inspired. Yet this fatherson story is just more of the same gross, lazy comedy that Sandler ’s been doing for years, the repetitiveness evident in his generally declining box-office receipts. Sandler ’s audience is outgrowing his movies, even if he isn’t. The idea behind the movie isn’t half bad and provides some parallels to Sandler, a guy who’s made a career out of stunted adolescence. In this one, he plays a middle-aged loser who was in his early teens when he knocked up his seventhgrade teacher and has been the world’s most infantile dad to his boy ever since. With his son (Andy Samberg) now a successful Wall Streeter preparing to marry his dream girl (Leighton Meester), Sandler turns up scheming to fix his own financial problems and reconnect with the son he hasn’t seen in more than a decade. With some thought and effort, the movie could be fresher, smarter and much, much funnier, while still retaining all the gross-out gags and idiocy that Sandler loves. Sandler, also a producer on the movie, and director Sean Anders stay on the really stupid end of stupid, though.

RATED: R for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, pervasive language and some drug use.

This film image released by Disney/Pixar shows the character Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald, in a scene from "Brave."

"Brave" is beautiful but too safe

By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press Pixar is long overdue for a feature with a strong female character at its center. Now that she’s arrived, it’s clear that she deserves better.

“Brave” is beautiful to look at, as you would expect given the technical and artistic standard the animation behemoth has set. Set in the wilds of Scotland, the company’s 13th feature is full of lush, green forests and dramatic, rolling hills, all of which appears even more idyllic bathed in a delicate, mystical sunlight.

Our heroine, the feisty and free-spirited Princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), has a finely detailed mane of long, red curls that look so bouncy and soft, they’ll make you

want to roll around in them, then maybe take a little nap. And the story begins promisingly enough with our heroine — an avid archer — leaping onto her valiant steed and taking a thunderous ride through the countryside, expertly hitting her targets without missing a beat.

She’s obviously a character with a mind of her own, one who has no apprehension about breaking the rules — which is why it’s such a shame that the film itself feels so old-fashioned and safe. The script, credited to co-directors Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman as well as Steve Purcell and Irene Mecchi, revisits several familiar Disney character types and themes: a princess in a long-ago kingdom who pays an ill-fated visit to a witch, a spell that

changes everything and needs to be broken, and the misunderstandings and danger that ensue.

After beginning in thrilling fashion, “Brave” turns rather silly and slapsticky rather quickly, as if it were aimed mainly at the little kids in the audience rather than the whole family, for whom most Pixar movies are so satisfying and quite often moving. (Admit it: You sobbed uncontrollably at the beginning of “Up” and the end of “Toy Story 3.” We all did.) This time, the usual depth of story and well-developed characters simply aren’t there.

It’s a pleasant diversion but, comparatively, a disappointment.

But “Brave” does boast a strong voice cast, including Billy Connolly and Emma

Thompson as Merida’s parents, the king and queen. Queen Elinor in particular is concerned with making sure her teenage daughter grows up to be a proper young lady, that she behaves the way a princess should and doesn’t go gallivanting about on her own causing mischief; it’s bad enough that the couple’s young triplet sons are constant troublemakers.

And so she’s insistent that Merida buckle down and prepare for marriage, even though it’s a huge leap the girl isn’t ready to make and despite the fact that her three potential suitors from the other prominent clans are all doofuses. The fact that she shows these boys up in an archery competition humiliates and angers her mother even further.

Two films to get you through the summer heat

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge Quirky is an adjective that gets abused in the criticism of motion picture art. I know it does...often by me when I slum it and review the movies that are just outside of the mainstream. Forgive me and delight in how I try to skirt the use of that word when I tell you about two of the offbeat pictures I saw this week - one a gentle romance set during the apocalypse of Earth and the other an ode to love stories contrived by authority-challenging youth in the 1960s . The Independence Day holiday may be a full week away, but now is the best time to go to the movies.

"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World"| features one of the greatest funnymen alive today, Steve

Carrel, doing fine, maudlin work that harkens back to his unpraised job in Dan in Real Life. The movie opens with a startling bit of news: an asteroid named Matilda is on a collision course with the planet and all attempts to stop it have failed.

Mankind has three weeks left before fire and brimstone take out our little blue marble. If this news is the ultimate bummer, Carrel's sad-sack performance as Dodge the insurance salesman mirrors it marvelously.

Breaking up that tepid waiting is the emergence of his neighbor, Keira Knightley, a noisy young thing in a bad relationship. The impending doom they now share reminds her that she's been holding onto some of Dodge's mail for a few months, including a very personal letter from the woman who jilted him years earlier, ending his one hope

at original and lasting happiness.

The two partner together and take to the road with a bizarre little dog in a smart car. Their destination is to find Dodge's lady love and Penny's parents. Time is not on their side, but the failing resources of New England keep them heading in the right direction. In Hope & Crosby fashion, they continuously bump into famous actors playing throwaway roles: William Petersen as a suicidal trucker, Martin Sheen as a prickly pilot, and comedian T.J. Miller as the worst waiter ever. If you are desperately seeking a unique picture, this one is for you. It's not happy, but it does go a long way toward proving one of my long-held theories...Keira Knightley must be a fantastic kisser.

"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" runs 111 minutes and is rated R for language, including sexual references,

some drug use, and brief violence. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

••• Wes Anderson's newest film is one of his best. "Moonrise Kingdom" features the introduction of two new actors, Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward, who play the roles of star-crossed twelve year-olds Sam and Suzy. Through the advent of a pen pal relationship, the two plan to runaway together from opposite ends of their island home and meet up. Sam takes provisions and an air rifle and flees the rigid structure of his Khaki Scout camp and heads west. The well-meaning but maniacal Scoutmaster Ward (Edward Norton) had made things unbearable.

Suzy takes her kitten, books, and portable record player and flees eastward. She leaves behind three brothers and antagonizing lawyer

July 5, 2012

parents (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) for a wild weekend with Sam. They play the gender roles of 1965 perfectly. He forages for food and uses all of his camping tools to make things comfortable for her while she wears dresses and brings culture to his world. The hyper-sexual tone is appropriately timid, despite the scandal it creates on the island. The lone peace officer, Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis) runs a skilled rescue attempt and the movie is largely unforgettable. Try something different. Besides, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Harvey Keitel co-star. There has to be something for everybody in this movie.

"Moonrise Kingdom" runs 104 minutes and is rated PG-13 for sexual content and smoking. I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

Alton and the Civil War

By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge If Gettysburg or Vicksburg is too much of an investment, but you still want to experience America’s Civil War, Alton offers a day’s worth of sites to visit and research.

Start with the Elijah P. Lovejoy Monument, a tribute to the newspaper publisher who advocated free speech and the

abolition of slavery and paid for his beliefs with his life, the murder victim of a pro-slavery gang.

The 110-foot -high monument was dedicated in 1897, the 60th anniversary of Lovejoy’s death.

A jaunt up Monument Avenue offers a good view of the structure, although there is no parking. The entrance to the Alton Cemetery is located off Vine Street, which offers access to the monument.

Next venture north on Broadway and take in Lincoln Douglas Square, near the Alton Belle Casino.

The site, once no more than a plaque which was stolen, now features life-size statues of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, depicting them as they were in their seventh congressional debate in 1858.

More than 6,000 people gathered on Oct. 16 that year to hear the two candidates battle it out over slavery and states’ rights.

Lincoln lost that election, but won the presidency two years later.

Just a few blocks north on Broadway, turn right onto William Street to see a remnant of the Confederate Prison, which was moved from its original site a couple hundred yards up the hill.

The prison was built in 1831 and, after 1862, was used to house a total of 11,745 confederate prisoners with an average of about 1,200 there at any one time.

Many of the blocks removed from the prison are still in use in buildings and fences around Alton Follow William Street to State Street and make a left turn on Rozier, where the Confederate Cemetery and Memorial are located.

More than 1,300 confederate prisoners who died during a small pox outbreak at a quarantine set up on an island in the Mississippi River.

The 40-foot high monument was erected in 1909 after the United Daughters of the Confederacy petitioned the U.S. War Department

to mark the site permanently.

Little history, unfortunately, remains in Upper Alton, the intersection of College and

Washington, which was once known as Pie Town because women in that area often baked for union soldiers who passed through.

Clockwise from top right are: LIncoln Douglas Square, the Confederate Cemetery and Memorial, the Confederate Prison and the Elijah P. Lovejoy Monument. All are located in Alton.

Travel Travel briefs DIA showing off musician Patti Smith’s photography DETROIT (AP) — A recently opened exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts focuses on the photography of musician Patti Smith.

Called “Patti Smith: Camera Solo,” it features dozens of black-and-white gelatin silver prints Smith produced.

The exhibition kicked off on Friday and runs through Sept. 2. It’s free with museum admission.

The DIA says Smith began taking 35-millimeter photos in 1968 as components for collages and took up the serious use of the Polaroid Land Camera in 1995.

The exhibition was organized by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Conn.

Gerhard Richter opens largest exhibit in Paris PARIS (AP) — Gerhard Richter, one of the world’s top-selling living artists, launched his largest

exhibit to date in Paris on Monday — a show spanning six decades of a diverse and storied career.

“Panorama,” which opens to the public on Wednesday, sprawls the entire sixth floor of the Pompidou C e n t e r ; i t f e a t u re s s o m e 1 4 1 paintings in 10 rooms that start from the geometric abstract pieces from the 1960s right up to the digital printing that ends in 2011.

But for an artist whose 2011 auction sales totaled $200 million, according to auction tracker Artnet, what can Paris give him that he’s not already got? For the Germanborn artist, it’s all down to the space.

Though a reduced version of the exhibit has already been seen in London and Berlin, works added from French national archives make this the largest display in the painter’s history.

Richter said the Pompidou was uniquely ideal thanks to its “very generous space.”

Though Richter is normally uncomfortable around journalists — he stormed out of a press conference last year in London — he opened up to the press Monday at the Pompidou Center, joking that despite money and fame, “No!” he does not consider

himself a rock star.

To understand the exhibit’s title, look no further than the central glass sculpture entitled “6 Standing Panes,” which serves as a lookingglass onto the landmark building’s bird’s eye view of Paris.

“This panorama it has a completely new dimension!” said one viewer, Marie Tremoulet.

Richter started out as Europe’s answer to American Pop Art, commenting on his continent’s consumer culture.

Equally however, Richter — who lived through World War II — was known for his attacks on Germany’s Nazi past:, including the disturbing 2000 work “Uncle Rudi,” in which he dresses his uncle up in a Nazi uniform.

Religion Make sure to sow good seeds Since I’ve been sharing thoughts with you for many years, you must know that I gather ideas from a multitude of places…friends and family, radio and television and books and devotionals I read.

Let me share a ‘mini sermon’ that I read in one of my devotionals several months ago that seemed to speak not only to me, but to our society as a whole.

It is, “The seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruit we’ll reap tomorrow.”

Having been a farmer for about forty years, I could take that as a good piece of advice when it came to raising crops. I know Bill wanted ‘good seed’ because that would help ensure a chance for a good harvest.

The second necessary thing was ‘removing the weeds’ so the crops could grow and mature and the harvest would be good.

I don’t believe the author of this saying was speaking about raising crops, but rather finding a lifestyle that would bring forth good instead of guaranteeing pain and often suffering.

When I came across the saying, I found myself thinking not only in terms of individuals but also of nations…even our own.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that we are in trouble and that some of the trouble came when we began to think that we could

Doris Gvillo have everything in the material line we wanted, when we wanted it, and without thought about the cost. I’m no economist so that is probably not a worthwhile description so feel free to draw your own conclusions, but whatever we might think, we, as a nation are in trouble.

Some also seem to have decided we no longer need to rely upon God’s rules but we can make our own and forget that we do not have the ultimate power.

As I write this today is Memorial Day and I find myself thinking of all the individuals who have given so much so that we might have this wonderful land in which we live. I hope and pray we live our lives in gratitude for the terrible price that many before us have paid.

Often I find myself thinking we have forgotten God as we’ve reached out for all the many ‘things’ that seem to claim our attention.

I’m not filled with gloom and doom and I realize that there is much ‘good’ in our lives and for that I give thanks, but I think it doesn’t hurt to take ‘inventory’ and if we can make improvements for the good of God’s people, aren’t we supposed to respond?

Scripture reminds us that ‘as we have opportunity, let us do good

to all.” I’ve yet to find the spot in scripture where it says, ‘take all you can get and forget about others’.

There are places where we are warned about such a lifestyle.

I’ve said it so many times, but I can’t write about reaping what we sow without remembering Jesus words when He reminds us that ‘when we do it unto the least of these our brethren, we do it unto Him.” We can choose to spread hate and it will ultimately poison our lives and alienate others. Oh, we can find lots of folks to hate… those who are different in culture, in race and in their faith choices.

But does such hate make our lives filled with peace or does it cause our circle of friends to become smaller and smaller until we are alone and filled with bitterness.

We can become ‘greedy’ and turn our back on the suffering of others and while our ‘net worth’ may increase, our sense of well being may not. We may find ourselves friendless and lonely.

The apostle Paul wrote often about reaching out as Christ did.

I’ve always found the words, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; whatever a man sows that will he reap.”

We sometimes say ‘what goes around comes around.’ Such a phrase does not have the beauty

o f P a u l ’ s w o rd s , b u t t h e y d o reflect a truth of life.

We find love when we give love. We find forgiveness when w e l e a r n t o f o rg i v e . We a re blessed when we begin to bless others by our choices in life.

We a l l m a k e m a n y c h o i c e s each and every day. Sometimes we make rash decisions that we later regret. Pride sometimes then makes us hesitate to admit we were wrong. But, thankfully, we can make amends and move on.

Just as surely as a farmer who plants seeds and then cares for his crop, will reap a harvest that exceeds

HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — Protesters who have occupied a closed Roman Catholic church in Holyoke for a year say they're ending their round-theclock vigil.

The decision by the protesters at Mater Dolorosa came after an order by the Vatican high court, which also agreed to consider an appeal the protesters hope will reopen the church as a worship site.

The group voted to end the vigil last week, but didn't announce it until this week. The protesters say they don't expect the diocese to sell the church, remove sacred objects or take down its steeple during Vatican deliberations.

The diocese cited debt and an unsafe steeple when closing the church. Parishioners refused to leave after the final Mass last June. They say the steeple needs just minor repairs and parishioners could have resolved the debt.

Thieves threaten tradition at 210-year-old Pennsylvania church by stealing copper DARLINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police say thieves who stole six copper kettles from a 210-year-old southwestern Pennsylvania church have also endangered a longstanding tradition.

The Beaver County Times reports that elders at the First United Presbyterian Church of Darlington say the antique kettles have been used for decades to churn apple

one who neglects the field, so you and I will reap what we sow.

I know that I sometimes speak or act without proper thought of how it will affect another individual, but it is my goal to learn to ‘curb’ my impatience and sow seeds of God’s love, compassion, generosity, and mercy.

Will I always succeed? Probably not always, but for each of us, it is so important to make sure the ‘seeds’ we are sowing today will bring back to us good and not evil. Isn’t that what God would have us do?

The Cozy Dog Drive In located on Sixth Street in Springfield serves up classic road food.

The Cozy Dog Drive In Get off the interstate and enjoy some real food

By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge Somewhere on the dining spectrum – between gourmet food and fast food – falls a classification that no traveler can do without – road food.

In a word, it’s comfortable.

Nothing too outlandish to confuse the tastebuds, yet something you’d expect if at a neighbors.

The Cozy Dog on Route 66 in Springfield is a legend among road food enthusiasts.

Legend has it that Ed Waldmire Jr. encountered a corn dog in Oklahoma in the late 1930s and decided he could make a better one.

16

And he did.

It took a couple of years of experimenting – and a stint in the Air Force after World War II – but Waldmire sold his first Cozy Dog at the Lake Springfield Beach House in 1946.

The Cozy Dogs were also introduced at the Illinois State Fair and were so successful, a permanent restaurant was established.

Ultimately, the Cozy Dog Drive In settled at 2935 South Sixth St., Route 66, and has been serving locals and visitors since.

A single Cozy Dog costs $1.95 and, yes, it really is better than those you buy frozen at the grocery store or eat at the county fair.

Keeping its menu simple, the Cozy Dog Drive In offers hamburgers and cheeseburgers – as singles and doubles – in addition to chili

On the Edge of the Weekend

July 5, 2012

dogs, grilled cheese, barbecue and ham and cheese sandwiches.

T h e s i d e s a re w h a t y o u ’ d e x p e c t – chili, onion rings, nacho chips and fried mushrooms.

And then there are the french fries, which really are worth the drive to Springfield.

Unlike chain restaurants, which offer seasoned fries and really think they’ve done it up posh, the Cozy Dog keeps theirs simple – potatoes, fried in oil, sprinkled with a little salt. No, that description doesn’t do them justice.

Suffice it to say they are addicting.

The Cozy Dog offers ice cream treats for dessert and has a breakfast menu – which sounds tempting.

The food – specifically the fries – are just part of the attraction.

The Cozy Dog also serves as a mini R o u t e 6 6 m u s e u m , d e c o r a t e d i n t ru e Mother Road style with old gas station signs, road maps and what has to be one of the largest collections of license plates anywhere.

One corner of the Cozy Dog’s dining area serves as a Route 66 souvenir shop, offering books, hats, pens and more.

You can’t leave without at least buying a refrigerator magnet.

To top it off, the Cozy Dog is clean and the service is efficient.

In short, it’s everything someone looking for some good road food would want.

Teaspoons Cafe measures up

By EMILY BARTON For The Edge It’s high noon at Teaspoons Cafe and owner Becky Hultz helps her staff prepare and deliver a steady stream of orders while her fiancée and cafe manager Shane Nettleton mans the register. Everyone is relaxed and chatting while they eat.

This warm atmosphere is no coincidence; in fact, it is exactly the atmosphere that Hultz hoped to create upon opening her cafe last month.

“We want you to come in here and relax and not feel like you have to leave in 30 minutes. If you want to come in here for a few hours and relax, that’s what we’re here for. We want you to leave your worries at the door,” said Hultz.

As a previous restaurant owner and resident of Edwardsville, Hultz decided to start her new business located in Meridian Place off of Route 157 because she “saw a need for a cafe-coffee shop” in an area where fast food was the dominant dining choice. Besides offering food and drink, customers at Teaspoons are also encouraged to use the free Wi-Fi while they dine. On May 7, Teaspoons Cafe opened to serve breakfast, lunch and a selection of homemade bakery items to diners from Edwardsville and the surrounding area.

“Breakfast is somewhat traditional. We do a lot of eggs and bacon. We also have a really good homemade granola and then of course the baked goods. Lunch is sandwiches,

salads and soups,” Hultz said of her menu. “Everything is from scratch. We cut everything here. All of our meats and cheeses are sliced here. All of our vegetables come in whole. We chop all of our lettuce, tomatoes, celery and other produce here. We try to keep it as fresh as we can.”

Hultz also stated that she will occasionally introduce new items to the menu to keep it interesting. Variety is already built into the menu, as each day finds a different breakfast quiche and lunch soup offering. Currently the best selling breakfast item continues to be the breakfast burrito for $5.39.

Notable lunch items include the chicken BLT sandwich and the seasonal salad served with the homemade house poppy seed dressing.

Apart from the number of food selections at Teaspoons Cafe, the beverage selection is also quite expansive with 40 different kinds of tea, not to mention a number of different coffee drinks. The loose-leaf tea is provided by a Californiabased company called the Art of Tea that does not use any artificial ingredients in its wide variety of teas.

At Teaspoons, the teas are all steeped to order and can be made hot or cold. The prices range from $2.25 for a 12-ounce glass to $4.50 for a two-person teapot. Tea is sold by the individually brewed glass or teapot, but in the future Hultz is hoping to offer customers the ability to purchase their favorite tealeaves in larger quantities Since opening last month, Teaspoons Cafe has found a welcome following. Hultz attributes this success to the

cafe’s quality food and tea selection and relaxing dining atmosphere.

Nearby local businesses have “really put our name out there for us and told their clientele what was coming and what we were doing. They’ve really helped us,” Hultz said.

“Business has steadily picked up every day. Everyone seems to really like the food. It’s been wonderful."

Teaspoons Cafe has already become a supportive member of the Edwardsville community by participating in the Taste of Edwardsville as well as by helping raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event. Hultz believes that community involvement is important both personally and from a business perspective and will be continuing Teaspoons participation therein in the future.

While the Teaspoons menu has ample choices for the adult diner, there are also meals available for children on the kid’s menu.

“We are family friendly. We love children. Between Shane and I we have five kids so our kid’s menu was created by our kids. We welcome kids with open arms and hope to see them in here.”

For breakfast or lunch to dine in or take out, visit Teaspoons Cafe, located at 2125 Route 157, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm as well as Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Catering is available upon request and private events can be accommodated in the after-business hours with advance scheduling.

Family Focus

The newest attraction at the Saint Louis Zoo The Saint Louis Zoo’s new Sea Lion Sound brings visitors nose-to-nose with swimming sea lions through an exhibit which opened to the public on June 30. Sea Lion Sound features a transparent tunnel – the first in North America – and a landscape inspired by the rugged Pacific Northwest Coast.

Located in the center of the Zoo, the 1.5-acre, $18 million habitat and arena for 11 California sea lions and four harbor seals includes two state-of-the-art marine mammal exhibits.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car Family Sea Lion Landing features a spectacular 35-foot-long underwater viewing tunnel, where visitors can see animals swimming around them. This spacious, year-round outdoor pool and habitat features varying depths of water and rocky outcroppings. At one end of the pool is a shallow beach where animals can go for sun bathing, feeding and training.

The water becomes deeper at the other end of the pool, where visitors find an expansive window to watch the sea lions underwater – another first for the Saint Louis Zoo. The harbor seals are expected to join the sea lions at Sea Lion Landing later this summer.

The Lichtenstein Sea Lion Arena, home to the First Bank Sea Lion Show, features an 811-seat amphitheater, the large Ann Lux Family Stage, a 39,000-gallon see-through pool, a rock bridge extending into the audience and a high diving platform and slide – all designed to show off the sea lions’ natural abilities. Audiences will be thrilled by the powerful swimming, flipper walks, balancing acts, and lots of splashing demonstrated by these incredible animals.

“At Sea Lion Sound, visitors will see our sea lions close-up.

They will be able to interact directly with these magnificent marine mammals and learn from that contact. We believe this experience will build a new understanding of these highly adaptable, social creatures and the need for their conservation,” said Dr. Jeffrey P. Bonner, Dana Brown President and CEO of the Zoo. Animal Care Sea Lion Sound also has a new Sea Lion Care Center. A separate space dedicated to the animals, the staff and life

support systems, this facility provides advanced care and management for marine mammals.

Efficient new systems are expected to save 11 million gallons of water each year at Sea Lion Sound. The new habitat is a saltwater environment containing nearly 250,000 gallons of water.

About the Animals The main population of California sea lions is found along the west coast in the Pacific Ocean. Harbor seals are commonly found in the coastal waters of the North Atlantic and Pacific oceans. While both are marine mammals and powerful, graceful swimmers, sea lions and seals have distinct differences. Harbor seals and other “true” seals do not have external ear flaps, while sea lions, along with fur seals and walruses, have visible, external ear flaps. Sea lions can rotate their hind flippers under their bodies, allowing them to walk easily on land. Seals do not have this ability and move about in an inchworm-like motion.

All marine mammals are protected by the federally regulated Marine Mammal Protection Act. Though harbor seals and California sea lions are not currently endangered in the wild, other marine species are threatened because of pollution, marine debris, unsustainable commercial fishing, and other man-made threats.

Show Schedule Beginning June 30, sea lion shows will be at 11 a.m., 1:30 and 3 p.m. daily in summer with an additional show at 5 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. From September 4 through October 31, the shows will be on weekends only. Timed tickets are $4 per person at the ticket booth and Welcome Desks on day of show. Children under 2 are free. Zoo members may use their Anywhere passes for tickets. There will also be three daily sea lion feedings and keeper chats, during the season and weather permitting, at Sea Lion Landing at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. There are no fees for animal viewing areas and public feedings.

Funding In mid-2010, the Zoo publically launched The Living Promise

July 5, 2012

Campaign to raise $120 million to be used to build dynamic new animal exhibits, enhance the visitor experience, improve the Zoo’s infrastructure and strengthen its endowment. In addition to providing funds to build Sea Lion Sound, the Campaign has covered the costs of converting the old elephant house into Peabody Hall, creating the Wells Fargo South Arrival Experience, building the Myron Glassberg Family Maintenance Facility, adding a fourth naturalistic area for elephants, Elephant Woods, and much more. Over the next few years, the Campaign will be funding new habitats for grizzlies and polar bears, the addition of painted dogs (a new species to the Zoo) and a range of infrastructure repairs.

More than $100 million of the Zoo’s $120 million goal has been pledged by individuals, corporations and foundations.

“As we plan for the Zoo’s future, we have made a promise to always care deeply for animals and the natural world, to remain accessible to all our visitors, to be a leader in wildlife conservation, and to steward our resources carefully,” Dr. Bonner added. “One hundred years ago, the founders of the Zoo made a number of extraordinary promises to the people of St. Louis, including that we would offer a zoo that is open to all, free of any admission charge.

We expect to keep that promise and many others, thanks to the individuals and business and foundation leaders who care deeply about the Zoo. Their generosity has made this day possible.”

Zoo Hours & More Information Admission to the Zoo and Sea Lion Sound is free. There are fees for special attractions, including the Sea Lion Show. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day, the Zoo is open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Weekday summer hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Independence Day and Labor Day, the Zoo is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Zoo will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 15, for the Zoo’s major fundraiser.

Canyon, and played their first-ever concert as a trio at the legendary Woodstock festival, its members continue a creative partnership that is one of the most influential and enduring in music. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash have each been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two times—once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Hollies, respectively. They have also been inducted into the Songwriter ’s Hall of Fame, with the honor recognizing both CSN as a group, and each member as individual solo artists.

CSN’s music first became a cornerstone of rock ‘n roll with the self-titled 1969 debut LP, one of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Ever since— through changing times, various configurations, and acclaimed solo careers—Crosby, Stills & Nash have continued to tour and record as “three together.” www. crosbystillsnash.com
