People Criterium to roll through Edwardsville By MATTHEW KAMP Of The Edge One change “made all the difference” in the popularity of the Stifel Edwardsville Rotary Criterium according to race director SJ Morrison. For the third straight year, the Criterium will be on a Saturday afternoon and last into the night. The first two editions of the race took place during a Sunday afternoon. Since the switch, crowds have grown and the local businesses have enjoyed a block party atmosphere. The first of 11 races will begin at 3 p.m. on Aug. 16. The final one, the Men’s 1/2 with $5,000 in payouts, is scheduled to start at 9:15 p.m. and last until 10:35 p.m. “We have come a long way,” Morrison said. “When we first started, we were booking the event on a Sunday afternoon. There were a few fans that would come out and watch the event. We had about 200 cyclists. In the last couple years we have grown the event into a Saturday afternoon, evening event. It literally brings out thousands of spectators to Main Street. We are now hosting cyclists from 11 different states with over 300 racers. We are bringing in 100 kids for the kids’ race. It just seems like it grows every year. We are really excited to see how things go this year.” The 0.7-mile race begins on North Main Street and takes cyclists on a course that consists of seven difficult turns. Riders can reach up to 30 miles per hour. It’s a unique atmosphere that Morrison believes isn’t limited to cyclist fans. “You don’t have to be cycling fan to enjoy this. You can come downtown and enjoy some really impressive fast-paced racing,” he said. “You can also have a good time with friends. Downtown Edwardsville has become an eating and drinking destination, so you can enjoy some great restaurants and some great places to grab a drink.” The races will begin on North Main Street with a right turn on to Vandalia Street. Racers will then have the difficult task of making a left turn on to Benton Street by TheBANK

Riders make their way through downtown during a previous Criterium. of Edwardsville, right on to Ramey Street, left on to Coventry Street and right on to St. Louis Street back up past the courthouse and on to North Main Street. Morrison said the four quick turns, starting at Benton Street, are the most dangerous on the course. “This course is incredibly difficult,” he said. “Unfortunately, it’s not matter of if someone is going to crash but when. The corner by the Bank of Edwardsville, from St. Louis on to Benton, is a really tight corner. You have cyclists going 30 miles per hour down Vandalia and then having to take a hard left on to Vandalia. Then, they have to position themself to take a hard right on to Ramey Street. It’s called a chicane in cycling. That

chicane is very difficult.” The challenges of the course are intriguing to the cyclists. Add in the downtown lights, cheering fans and cowbells and it turns into a one-of-akind experience for racers. The atmosphere doesn’t go unnoticed by the competitors. “A lot of criteriums take place in parking lots, where they just throw up some cones and call it good. They are not pleasant races to go watch a race,” Morrison said. “Cyclists see that this is a community where we are willing to shut down our Main Street and downtown essentially to bring people in for this event.” For the first time, cyclists competing in the Criterium will be able to earn points for the “Graffiti Road Racing

Series” and “Yellow Brick Road Racing Series.” Racers will be able to earn points based on their performance that will allow them to compete for a national purse. Morrison said the addition of the two series validates how much the Criterium is growing in popularity. “After hosting this race for four years, it is really gain some traction in the cycling world. It’s a pretty big deal,” Morrison said. The Juniors and Women 4 races begins at 3 p.m., followed by the Mater 40+ and Maters 50+ at 3:35 p.m. The Men 5 40 + and Men 5 races, which start at 4:30 p.m. and 5:10 p.m., respectively, will feature a handful of local, amateur racers. Following the Men 3 race at 5:45 p.m., the kids will take center stage for a 6:45 p.m. race. The kids’ race is free. Registration is from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and it is broken down into four different age categories (3 and under, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-10). All participants must wear helmets — like the professionals — and they will receive a goody bag. It’s a chance for the kids to be like the pros for a race according to Morrison. “How often do the kids get to participate in something like this? It’s a real quick race, but it really is a lot of fun. The kids love it. There are a lot of people cheering them on,” he said. “One of the things we have encouraged the kids to do is watch the races and then go get autographs. Some of these (cyclists) are regional and national champions.” The Women Open will follow at approximately 7 p.m. It will last for close to an hour, as it is the first of three major races that will be done under the downtown streetlights. The Men 3 race is at 8:10 p.m. and the Men 1/2 will wrap the day up with a 9:15 p.m. start. The final three races will have a combined payout of $9,000. The Women Open and Men 3 are each $2,000. There’s also $300 payouts for the Master 40+ and Master 50+ and $400 for the Men 4. The $10,000 total of payouts is one of the largest in the region.

August 7, 2014

Those interested in registering for a race can do so at www.bikereg.com. Race-day registration begins at 2 p.m. It is $15 for the Juniors and Women 4 races, while the rest are $30. The kids’ race is free. Throughout the Criterium, there will be an open container policy from Stagger Inn to the courthouse. It allows spectators to get a drink and watch the races with families and friends. “We will have an open container perimeter on Main Street thanks to the City of Edwardsville. People can get a drink and walk out on to the sidewalk and enjoy the evening,” Morrison said. “(The perimeter) will run from roughly Stagger Inn down to the courthouse.” The heavy foot traffic is welcomed by the local businesses, which have food and drink specials. “Over the last two years, since moving to the Saturday, we have heard from them that this is their best day of the year. In fact, a couple places have said they have never had a better day,” Morrison said. “The merchants love the opportunity to bring in this kind of traffic. There will be drink and food specials.” From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. there will be live music. The stage will be in front of the courthouse. Edwardsville High School graduate and “The Voice” participant Tess Boyer will perform at approximately 9 p.m. Also appearing will be Exit 12 and the Robert Perry Band with the Original Mojos. Stifel, the City of Edwardsville, TheBANK of Edwardsville, Anderson Hospital, the Metro East Park and Recreation Department, The Cyclery, To Hoermann, Scott Credit Union and the Edwardsville Township have already signed on as sponsors. “We couldn’t do it without our sponsors,” Morrison said. There are still sponsorship opportunities available. For more information, visit www. edwardsvillecriterium.com or follow Edwardsville Criterium on Twitter and Facebook.

Religion Religion briefs U.S. condemns forced exile of Christians from Mosul

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is condemning Islamic militants who have made thousands of Christians flee for their lives from Iraq's second-largest city. Last week, the message played over loudspeakers gave the Christians of Mosul until midday Saturday to make a choice: convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death. By the time the deadline expired, the vast majority of them had fled to the largely autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq or other areas protected by Kurdish security forces. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Monday that the U.S. condemns the Islamic State group's persecution of religious minorities, but is "particularly outraged" at the ultimatum it delivered to Mosul's Christians. Their departure marks the latest — and perhaps final — exodus of Christians from the city, emptying out communities that date back to the first centuries of Christianity, including Chaldean, Assyrian and Armenian churches.

Netanyahu says Israel appreciates Christian support as it fights to stop rocket attacks from Gaza. The Israeli leader spoke by video link to thousands of members of Christians United for Israel at their annual conference in Washington. Netanyahu said, "You don't fall into the trap of saying, 'Well of course we recognize Israel's right of self-defense,' as long as we don't exercise it." Netanyahu said Hamas and other Islamic groups hate both Jews and Christians, and he told the group that Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christians are free to practice their faith. The founder of Christians United for Israel, the Rev. John Hagee, said they'll support the people of Israel "now and forever."

Report finds Islamic plot to control U.K. schools

LONDON (AP) — A British government investigation has found evidence that Muslim fundamentalists successfully gained control of some schools to promote aggressive religious values. The report published Tuesday said some young students in Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, were encouraged to "adopt an unquestioning attitude to a particular hard-line

strand of Sunni Islam." It also criticized the Birmingham City Council for failing to alert authorities of practices that made teachers worry that pupils were learning to be intolerant of diversity. Investigators did not find any evidence of violent extremism. The investigation followed an anonymous letter that triggered several inquiries, one of which found "a culture of fear and intimidation" in some Birmingham schools.

Maryland church built in 1773 ravaged by fire

HEBRON, Md. (AP) — A 241-year-old church on the National Register of Historic Places has been ravaged by fire in Hebron, Maryland. The state fire marshal's office says the fire was reported at St. Paul's Episcopal Church just before midday Tuesday. Officials say nearly 100 firefighters from Maryland and Delaware fought the flames. No injuries were reported. The Rev. Ronald Knapp, St. Paul's pastor, told The Daily Times of Salisbury that the wood-frame building that burned had been in place since 1773. A church website says it has been used as a place of worship since before American independence. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Arts

Julia Biggs/The Edge

SIUE student Elizabeth Kaegy stands next to her artwork inside the Edwardsville Arts Center's Dennis DeToye Student Gallery.

Artist uses her own life as inspiration By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The genesis behind Elizabeth Kaegy’s artwork that is being featured at the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Dennis DeToye Student Gallery is an unusual one – skin disease. Kaegy, an SIUE BFA (Bachelors of Fine Art) graduate, used her own experience dealing with skin disease as a catalyst to the concept behind her watercolor paintings. Her art has evolved to also include map imagery and interesting texture produced by embossing beads in her body of watercolor pieces which will all be displayed in an exhibit at the EAC from July 18 to Aug. 22. Kaegy explained that she works on rag paper and always begins with a watercolor wash of some form. “I try to get some kind of texture in it by using (embossing) beads or sand or something along those lines, and then I put it under weight and let it dry that way,” she said. “It will puddle around those beads because they are being pressed down into the paper. Then I’ll have clear spaces where the beads were sitting and then they have all this extra watercolor around them so it ends up with a very atmospheric quality. I also usually have an object moving through it somehow.” What’s especially interesting about Kaegy’s art is the concept behind it. “Initially my work was about skin disease,” she said. “It was autobiographically in nature because I

have several skin problems and allergies and things. I just wanted to figure out a way to make work about that. So it began as sort of like dealing with my own issues.” She began making art about groups of people who also have skin disorders. “I did a whole body of work about a leprosy colony which isn’t just a skin problem,” Kaegy explained. “In making work about groups of people and not just about myself, it became more fulfilling to make work about skin disease because I feel like it’s something you can’t hide and yet it’s still internal and people make judgments about it and that sort of thing.” The Greenville artist’s artwork also includes something she is quite familiar with – imagery of maps. “I’ve always kind of been fascinated by them. My dad is a historian and a genealogist so he has these maps of counties - he has every little tombstone that’s in the entire county marked,” Kaegy explained. “I felt like I was surrounded by it as child. I’m kind of fascinated by them because they (maps) are man making something that we can’t see from our own vantage point. – you can only see as far as your eyes can show you. Taking this aerial view which isn’t something we naturally have and putting it into something that we can understand and something we can hold in our hands.” Kaegy found an interesting connection between skin disease and the map imagery.

On the Edge of the Weekend

August 7, 2014

“Maps are the product humans gathering something huge and far beyond our ability to comprehend with our own two eyes, from our one perspective, and summarizing it into something we can hold in our own hands and follow,” Kaegy writes in her artist’s statement. “My work takes things we struggle to understand about our skin, because they are caused by an internal series of chemical reactions, and puts it in a man-made format, created for our perspective understanding. I use map-influenced imagery and watercolor to illustrate skin cells, layers, and reactions. This began as an autobiographical endeavor and grew into something far beyond myself, it is been made more fulfilling to make by the inclusion of all of our struggles and not just my own.” Kaegy said that her art evolved to a point where it wasn’t completely about skin disease anymore. “Like my BFA show work was all about the layers of skin – the disease aspect was sort of gone. "I painted like layers of skin within the Great Lakes region,” Kaegy noted. “I drew that region in really large scale and within the Great Lakes region I was drawing is my interpretation of the layers of the skin and different places within that region. Those weren’t about disease anymore – they were more about where you came from – what you’re made of. The Great Lakes is my area. My recognizable coast line.” She also pointed out that her more recent

work, created when she wanted a break from map imagery, includes something she calls coral pores. “I have a little piece of coral that my brother got for me on the beach in the Virgin Islands. It has these little pores and you can see down inside of them,” Kaegy elaborated. “I blew them up and made my own interpretation of them. I moved them through paper that I did pourings on so it picks up sort of the colors of the pourings so they look like a product of their atmosphere. I think my large scale is the best example of this.” Now an SIUE graduate, Kaegy plans to use her education and artistic talents as a graphic designer. “My BFA focus is graphic design. I just have a deep love for watercolor also, but I want to be a graphic designer for a living,” she said. Kaegy’s artwork will be featured in the Edwardsville Arts Center DeToye Student Gallery from July 18 to Aug. 22. The photography of Tom Atwood in the exhibit, “The Refinery Project-Images of Beauty and Industry” will be featured in the EAC’s main gallery. Both exhibits opened Friday with an opening reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The EAC is located at 6165 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville which is in the southeastern corner of Edwardsville High School. The EAC is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed Sunday through Tuesday.

For The Edge

he Greater St. Louis Art Association (GSLAA) presents the Fall Art Fair at Queeny Park, August 29-31 at the indoor, air-conditioned Greensfelder Recreation Complex in Queeny Park, 550 Weidman Rd, Ballwin, Mo. Anticipation by thousands of show goers continues to build each season for one of the region’s longest running art fairs. Now in its 36th year, the event showcases original works of fine art and fine craft, all available for purchase directly from the artists. Show hours are Friday evening, 6 to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. “What our patrons seem to enjoy most is that they feel so at home wandering through the displays, chatting comfortably with artists, learning about the inspiration or processes behind the art they have created,” said Maggie McCarthy, artist and co-chair of the event. “So much selection, and a wide range of pricing, makes it very easy to walk away with something you love.” More than 130 juried artists represent the gamut of genres. From ceramics, drawing, painting, photography,

printmaking, digital art, mixed media and fiber for the walls, to jewelry and fiber to wear, as well as sculpture, wood and more for decorative and practical décor, this show meets creative, decorative needs. Many visitors use the show as an ideal place to find special, personalized gifts including the option to purchase lovely, artistdesigned greeting cards. Rounding out the fun of discovering the perfect art “find” is the festive environment of wine tasting, live music, a food café, plus children’s and adult’s art activities throughout the run of the show. Details of the weekend activities include: • Wine tastings by Three Squirrels Winery each day and live music by the Ann Duren Trio all weekend. • Being eligible to win $150 in “art dollars” that can be spent at any artist’s booth. • The popular Art Discovery Adventure for children from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday; a hands on Art Wall for children and adults, Make and Take pottery demonstrations for adults and children; as well as carved egg shell demonstrations. • A refreshment café serving meals and snacks during show hours. Admission is $5 at the door and free to those 18 and under. There is ample free parking and tickets are valid

for all three days of the Art Fair at Queeny Park. Hours are: • 6 to 9 p.m. Friday • 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday • 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday Dollar-off coupons are available from the GSLAA website, www.gslaa.org, and the show website, www. ArtFairAtQueenyPark.com. Guests will have the opportunity to sign the guest book to receive future announcements and discount coupons. Proceeds from the $5 admission and the artists’ booth fees go to GSLAA’s Art Scholarship Fund and help cover show expenses.

The Arts For The Edge

fter two successful years, Dance St. Louis returns with its very own commissioned production, New Dance Horizons III, on October 10-11 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. The concept is simple, and the result is stunning. Dance St. Louis brings three nationally renowned choreographers from across the country, pairing each one with a local professional dance company to create three distinct world premieres. New Dance Horizons III is also a part of the annual American Arts Experience – St. Louis festival. Performances are Friday, October 10 at 8 p.m. & Saturday, October 11 at 8 p.m. at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.Since its creation in 2012, the idea to bring some of the country’s most talked about choreographers to St. Louis to work directly with local dance companies has resonated strongly with local audiences and dance enthusiasts. Now in its third year, New Dance Horizons continues to provide the region with the opportunity to experience world premieres—a mix of beautiful, unique and high caliber works in different styles of dance— in one production. This year ’s participating professional dance companies are MADCO, Saint Louis Ballet and, as a first time participant, The Big Muddy Dance Company. The new participating choreographers are Israeli-born choreographer and founder of Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company, Roni Koresh; former Houston Ballet dancer and Hubbard Street choreographer, Brian Enos; and Julliard graduate and c u rren t d a n c e r w i t h t h e Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, Katarzyna Skarpetowska. Roni Koresh and MADCO MADCO, led by Executive and Artistic Director Stacy West, performs a new work by Roni Koresh, a renowned Israeli born and raised choreographer and founder of Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company who blends ballet, modern and jazz. Roni, who received early dance training from his mother, a folk dancer in the Yemenite tradition, joined Martha Graham’s Batsheva 2 Dance Company and studied with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater before performing with Shimon Braun’s Waves Jazz Dance Company in Philadelphia. In 1991, he founded Koresh Dance Company, which is widely recognized for its superb technique and emotionallycompelling appeal. Brian Enos and Saint Louis Ballet Choreographing since the age of 14 and dubbed a “prodigy” in the press, the impressive Brian Enos, former Houston Ballet dancer and Hubbard Street choreographer, collaborates with Saint Louis Ballet, the region’s largest ballet company, directed by Artistic Director Gen Horiuchi.

Two years ago Beatlemania Magic recreated these classic sounds for us on this stage! This Beatles tribute band brings the authentic sounds and looks of the different Beatle “eras”. You can take a trip through the earliest songs such as “She Loves Me” to the later sound of “Sgt. Pepper”, “Let It Be” and “Abbey Road”. This year they played a sold out performance at the Majestic Performing Arts Center in Ohio, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan.

Those of you who remember and enjoyed vaudeville will have something to tell your

family about. Al’s inspirations were great comedy kings such as Danny Kaye, Spike Jones and Jimmy Durante. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to an afternoon of comedy with song, dance, magic

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Arts Artistic adventures Peabody to host Ghost Brothers of Darkland County

AEG Live announced today the southern gothic, supernatural musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will tour across North America this Fall. Written by best-selling author Stephen King, with music by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp, and musical direction by Grammy Award-winning T-Bone Burnett, the tour kicks off right outside Bangor, ME at the Collins Center For The Arts in Orono, ME, on November 8, travelling through cities such as Toronto, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles before wrapping in San Francisco on December 5. The tour stops in St. Louis on Nov. 29 at the Peabody Opera House. This extraordinary collaboration 16 years in the making is a haunting tale of fraternal love, lust, jealousy and revenge, performed by an ensemble cast of 15 actors and a four-piece live band, comprised of members of John Mellencampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band. The staging of Ghost Brothers is an amalgam of different styles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both old fashioned, resembling an old-style radio show, and yet, modern and unique in its interactive use of storytelling, music and singing to move the macabre Ghost Brothers story forward. The story goes that Joe McCandless saw his two older brothers battle over a girl which ended in the unfortunate deaths of all three. Now with Joe as an adult and two boys of his own, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching an all too familiar s c e n a r i o p l a y o u t b e f o re h i s eyes. As the story continues, a malevolent Shape circles the stage, singing about heaven and hell. Joe McCandless lingers in theÂ dreamlandÂ cafĂŠ, rememberingÂ theÂ eventsÂ ofÂ hisÂ life, and is urged to action by the friendly bartender. In 2007, he goes to his family cabin in Darkland County, Mississippi, where his brothers died in 1967, to tell his own sons Frank and Drake his tale of brotherly love gone sour. With his sons at each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throats, Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story will either save or destroy the McCandless family. Will Joe bring himself to tell the truth in time to save his own sons? Find out whether the ghosts left behind will help himâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or tear the McCandless family apart forever. After Mellencamp brought the story idea to King and the musical developed, it became clear to the collaborators thatÂ Ghost BrothersÂ had taken them into unfamiliar territory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they liked it that way. "John can make rock & roll records and I can write books for the rest of our lives," says King, "but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the safe way to do it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to live if you want to stay creative. We were willing to be educated, and at our age, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accomplishment." Eventually they enlisted T-Bone Burnett, who has produced Mellencampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last two albums, as well as Grammy-winning albums like â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Brother, Where Art Thou?â&#x20AC;? and the Robert Plant-Alison Krauss collaboration â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raising Sandâ&#x20AC;?, to bring his signature shadowy ambience to the music. Throughout the production, the eerie blues â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots music reveals the inner workings of the characters as opposed to just propelling the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative, with the only a few songs directly advancing the

plot. Acclaimed director Susan Booth,Â the Jennings Hertz Artistic Director, who calls the musical a â&#x20AC;&#x153;a kind of new age travelling medicine showâ&#x20AC;? explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the emphasis to be on this fantastic score and our great singers and how the story advances us from song to song. In most musicals, the songs advance the narrative. WithÂ Ghost Brothers, the story will advance the songs.â&#x20AC;?

The Arts Artistic adventures Dance St. Louis set for season

Dance St. Louis announces its full 2014-2015 season, which features eight striking, entertaining and diverse productions. The upcoming 49th season includes: New Dance Horizons III, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa, the 8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL 2015 and two co-presentations with the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox Theatre: Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage and STOMP. Season ticket packages are currently on sale and single tickets sales for certain shows go on sale on September 2, 2014. New Dance Horizons III October 10 & 11, 2014 Touhill Performing Arts Center Dance St. Louis kicks off the season with its very own commissioned production, New Dance Horizons. The concept is simple, and the result is stunning. Dance St. Louis brings three nationally renowned choreographers to St. Louis, pairing each one with a local professional dance company to create distinct world premieres. Now in its third year, New Dance Horizons III welcomes the Big Muddy Dance Company, which performs a new work by the dynamic and accomplished Katarzyna Skarpetowska, a native of Warsaw, Poland, Julliard graduate and current dancer with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. Katarzyna

has worked with the likes of David Parsons and Robert Battle, and professional companies across the country have performed her choreography. MADCO performs a new work by Roni Koresh, an Israeli-born choreographer and founder of Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company who blends ballet, modern and jazz, and has earned a reputation for highly technical and emotionally charged work. Choreographing since the age of 14 and dubbed a “prodigy” in the press, the impressive Brian Enos, former Houston Ballet dancer and Hubbard Street choreographer, collaborates with Saint Louis Ballet. New Dance Horizons III is a part of the American Arts Experience – St Louis festival. Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage October 21 – November 2, 2014 Fox Theatre Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage is an unprecedented live experience, exploding with heartpounding music, passionate romance and sensational dancing. Seen by millions across the globe, this worldwide smash hit tells the classic story of Baby and Johnny, two fiercely independent young spirits from different worlds, who come together in what will be the most challenging and triumphant summer of their lives. Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage features the hit songs, “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and the heart stopping “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” London’s Sunday Express says, “This crowd-

pleasing stage adaptation hits the jackpot!” Don’t miss this record-breaking live theatre sensation. Dance Theatre of Harlem November 7 & 8, 2014 Touhill Performing Arts Center The country’s first African-American ballet company returns to St. Louis in all its splendor, glory and magnificence! Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and the late Karel Shook, Dance Theatre of Harlem was considered “one of ballet’s most exciting undertakings” (The New York Times, 1971). After its establishment, the company received unparalleled international acclaim and unprecedented success. It has been said that Dance Theatre of Harlem definitively debunked stereotypical opinions that African Americans could not dance ballet. Now, almost a half-century later, and after an eight-year hiatus, Dance Theatre of Harlem has re-launched. Under the artistic direction of the remarkable Virginia Johnson, former Dance Theatre of Harlem principal dancer and founding member, the company consists of 18 racially diverse dance artists, who perform an eclectic and demanding repertoire at the highest level, ranging from new and classical to neoclassical and contemporary. In the past year alone, the company has received outstanding accolades, critical acclaim and extensive media attention. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the resurgence of Dance Theatre of Harlem!

Travel Lake of the Ozarks Shootout offers 10 days of fun For The Edge Ten days of activities await at t en d e es a t t h e L a k e o f t h e Ozarks Shootout powerboat races. Beginning Friday, Aug. 15, and continuing through Sunday, Aug. 24, the Shootout will feature all types of watercraft racing individually against the radar gun, ranging from remote-controlled boats to personal watercraft to power boats and offshore racing boats, some with speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour on the Lake. Captain Ron's Bar and Grill in Sunrise Beach is hosting the event for the seventh year. All the particulars of Shootout participation, including lodging and parking, can be found on t h e r a c e ' s w e b s i t e a t w w w. LakeOfTheOzarksShootout.org. The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the country, featuring some of the top racers and offshore racing powerboats in the U.S. and Canada. The race has also become an international event in the last few years. Boats from Khatar and Norway will join the field. Powerboat Magazine lists it as one of eight "must-see" boating events, and the magazine's readers have voted it the number one race in the country. Last year, Canadian racing team Bill Tomlinson and Ken Kehoe shattered the event's previous record with a speed of 224 mph to claim the "Top Gun" trophy. "If you really want to see fast boats, Sunday's races are the time to be there," said Ron Duggan, event organizer and owner of Captain Ron's. "All the adjustments have been made from Saturday's race and they show up ready to run." Race fans can experience the action from televisions at Captain Ron's, from the decks of the cruise boat Celebration or by tying up along the course as part of the Shootout's flotilla of thousands of boats. The Lake area community comes together to support the Shootout and, in turn, the charities it benefits. Hundreds of volunteers serve thousands of hours to ensure the success of the event's activities and generous donations to 23 area charities, including six local fire protection districts. Increasing the funds raised continues to be a goal for Duggan. He has set his sights on a $125,000 donation this year, topping last year by $10,000 for the various charities. "That's really what it's all about," he says. The Shootout is just one of many exciting summer and fall events and travel stories at the Lake of the Ozarks. To find out more about all the dining, accommodations and activities at the Lake, call 800-FUNLAKE or visit FunLake.com. 2014 Shootout Schedule of Events 2014 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout activities are open to the public, though many require registration for participants.

"Wish I Was Here"

When Zach Braff took to Kickstarter to fund his new movie, "Wish I Was Here," he explained to fans where their money would go: It would ensure his creative control, allow him to cast the actors he wanted, and enable him to shoot in Los Angeles, rather than someplace cheaper. We can argue about whether these were worthy reasons to ask for $2 million (in fact, fans ultimately gave Braff more than $3 million, after which he also got traditional financing.) Certainly there was controversy — maybe not deserved — over whether a wealthy actor should be seeking money on Kickstarter. (If people are willing to pay, isn't it up to them?) But here's a more urgent question: Why didn't Braff use this money to make a better film? For all the brouhaha, "Wish I Was Here," which Braff directed, stars in and wrote (along with brother Adam), is so much less interesting than the circumstances of its making — not terrible, just frustratingly mediocre, and also corny, overly broad, meandering, not so funny where it intends to be, and not so sad where it intends to be, either. And that's a shame, because it's taken Braff 10 years to get a follow-up to his debut, "Garden State," into theaters. Fans of that film — presumably, they're the ones who ponied up cash — deserved something better. RATEDL R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for language and some sexual content." RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Sex Tape"

The high-concept comedies spawned by "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" need to start using birth control. Judd Apatow's landmark film rightfully ushered in a new era in comedy, but it has also inspired a now sizable cottage industry of thin movies ("The Hangover," ''The Five-Year Engagement," ''Bad Teacher," ''Horrible Bosses," ''The Other Woman") with concepts boasting good titles but shallow stories. Of these, only one ("The Five-Year Engagement") had Apatow's imprimatur. He and his cohorts have mostly moved on to telling stories about various seminal chapters of life — child birth ("Knocked Up"), high-school graduation ("Superbad"), young parenthood ("Neighbors"), 30s singledom ("Bridesmaids"), middle age ("This Is 40") — and many of these make up some of the best comedies of the last decade. "Sex Tape," however, belongs to the former group and it marks a low point despite coming from several Apatow acolytes. It's directed by Jake Kasdan, a consulting producer on "Freaks and Geeks" who went on to direct "Bad Teacher." ''Sex Tape" reteams that film's lead duo, Jason Segel (a near constant in Apatow-land) and Cameron Diaz, the always game, widesmiling muse for what's now been several generations of comedy. A screwball that takes its genre literally, "Sex Tape" is about a West L.A. married couple, Annie (Diaz) and Jay (Segel), trying to reawaken their love life after years of marriage and two kids. Following failed attempts with double-knotted roller skates and new venues like the kitchen floor ("I can see my to-do list," says Annie), they settle on making a porn for themselves that tours through the positions of "The Joy of Sex." "Sex Tape" tries to somehow bridge the gap between the traditional romantic comedy and today's porn-addled digital world. It's a valiant effort, and there is something — though only very little — of Cary Grant's scampering in "Bringing Up Baby" to Segel's mishaps around the CEO's mansion. But "Sex Tape" doesn't sync. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use." RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

"Lucy"

So let's start with the enticing premise of Luc Besson's "Lucy," starring Scarlett Johansson: Human beings only use 10 percent of their brain capacity. Imagine what it would be like if we could access all of it? Well, wow. It would be sort of like ... nothing new. Because, it turns out, in real life, humans pretty much DO use their whole brains. DARN! Now, we could choose to be annoyed that Besson starts with a total myth. Or we could give him a pass — because, hey, the movie is fiction anyway. The more relevant question, though, is how much of your own brain you should use when watching "Lucy" — a truly bizarre if often entertaining romp through, hmm, well, neuroscience, biochemistry, anthropology and basically the entire human experience, in 90 minutes. (Oh, plus a really cool car chase.) And here's another question: Just how much of his brain did Besson access when writing the dialogue? (That may sound nasty, but Mr. Besson, you're the one who got us thinking about cerebral capacity.) The director knows his way around a camera, and you can argue about the merits of the storyline. But the dialogue often sounds like it was produced by a primitive computer: Hammy and clunky. As for the name "Lucy," it refers to the famous fossilized skeleton of a female estimated to have lived some 3 million years ago. Thank goodness that primitive woman has now evolved — into a bleached blonde, airheaded student of some sort, living in Taiwan. That's where we meet Johansson's Lucy, who at least seems more mature than her jerk of a boyfriend, who forces her to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a shady gang boss. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for strong violence, disturbing images, and sexuality." RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Magic in the Moonlight"

Woody Allen's late period has been defined by a quality you wouldn't have expected from the man who produced the inspired chaos of "Bananas" or the Fellini-esque carnival of "Stardust Memories": tidiness. For years now, Allen's films have been light farces ("Midnight in Paris," ''Vicky Cristina Barcelona") or neatly structured parables ("Match Point," ''Blue Jasmine"). They breeze in innocuously in the summer, promising pleasant entertainment and not much more. "Like drinking lemonade" is how Allen has described his escapist aims for his movies. His "Magic in the Moonlight," a romantic comedy bathed in the sunset glow of the French Riviera and starring two of the more effervescent faces in movies — Colin Firth and Emma Stone — is, no doubt, sweetly sugary — if ultimately flat — stuff. The film begins in 1928 Berlin with the chaotic backstage life of a haughty, grouchy Chinese illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, played by the magician Stanley Crawford (Firth). It's a promising start: Here is Firth, in regal, oriental garb and long mustache, disparaging autographs as "for mental defectives." More of this, and "Magic in the Moonlight" could have been a very funny movie. But Wei Ling Soo doesn't again perform, and instead the rest of the film feels oddly missing the jokes it seems built to convey. Crawford — a self-described "rational man" who believes in his art, not in actual magic — sets off to the South of France to unmask a medium, Sophie Baker (Stone), gaining renown for her prescient "mental impressions." RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "a brief suggestive comment, and smoking throughout." RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

August 7, 2014

"Guardians of the Galaxy"

At the height of their powers, our overlords at Marvel have deigned to prove, like an emperor tolerating a court jester, that they do, in fact, have a sense of humor. The Marvel universe, of course, isn't entirely lacking comedy, as we've seen in "Iron Man" and "The Avengers." But on the whole, the Marvel kingdom is built on an unshakable foundation of self-seriousness. The comic book studio seems to fear that if the solemnity of its fiction isn't diligently guarded, people might start questioning whether all these men in spandex merit quite so much attention. Yet "Guardians of the Galaxy," a 3-D space opera about a ragtag crew of mercenaries, is Marvel's most irreverent film yet, and has a welcome, slightly self-mocking tone that dares to suggest intergalactic battles over orbs might actually be a tad silly. This is all very much to the good, but the problem with "Guardians of the Galaxy," directed by James Gunn, is the weakness of the comedy it wears so proudly. It takes more than a soundtrack full of '70s tunes, a talking raccoon and a few gags about "Footloose" to be funny. It's "zany" in quotes. As if demonstrating its tonal distance from Marvel's other planetary bodies, "Guardians of the Galaxy" takes place at the far reaches of space, where we find Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) skipping along on an abandoned planet. He removes his mask, presses play on a Walkman and does something normally sacrosanct in Marvel-land: He dances. Blaring is the irresistible 1974 hit "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone, the first of many such old radio hits. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language." RUNNING TIME: 121 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Get On Up"

There's a delicious moment in "Get On Up," Tate Taylor's new James Brown biopic, when Brown — played by Chadwick Boseman, in a thrillingly magnetic performance — is about to appear on the T.A.M.I. Show, a multi-act concert filmed in 1964. Backstage, the singer is informed that he and his band won't be closing the show; that honor will be going to an up-andcoming British band called the Rolling Stones. Brown shakes off the disappointment, goes out and blows the roof off the place with the force of those growling vocals and explosive, kinetic dance moves. Then he saunters over to the Stones, just five skinny blokes who don't know what hit them. "Welcome to America," he says. Did he say that in real life? No matter. The scene illustrates Brown's most important qualities: his indescribable drive as a performer, and his almost blinding charisma. They also have Brown break the fourth wall at key moments. Alas, this isn't done early or frequently enough to feel coherent. Perhaps there just wasn't time; even at 138 minutes, the film has to barrel though parts of Brown's long public life. (He died in 2006, at 73.) Also effective is a tense scene in which Brown forces his band, in rehearsal, to change the sound they're used to playing. They resist; he wins. And the music does sound fabulous throughout; one imagines Jagger had something to do with that. (The vocals in the film are Brown's; as for the dance moves, of course, that's all Boseman. ) RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for sexual content, drug use, some strong language, and violent situations." RUNNING TIME: 138 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

This image released by Universal Pictures shows Scarlett Johansson in a scene from "Lucy."

"Lucy" won't stretch your brain capacity By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press So let's start with the enticing premise of Luc Besson's "Lucy," starring Scarlett Johansson: Human beings only use 10 percent of their brain capacity. Imagine what it would be like if we could access all of it? Well, wow. It would be sort of like ... nothing new. Because, it turns out, in real life, humans pretty much DO use their whole brains.

The more relevant question, though, is how much of your own brain you should use when watching "Lucy" — a truly bizarre if often entertaining romp through,

hmm, well, neuroscience, biochemistry, anthropology and basically the entire human experience, in 90 minutes. (Oh, plus a really cool car chase.) And here's another question: Just how much of his brain did Besson access when writing the dialogue? (That may sound nasty, but Mr. Besson, you're the one who got us thinking about cerebral capacity.) The director knows his way around a camera, and you can argue about the merits of the storyline. But the dialogue often sounds like it was produced by a primitive computer: Hammy and clunky. As for the name "Lucy," it refers to the famous fossilized skeleton of a female estimated to have lived some 3 million years ago. Thank goodness that primitive woman has now evolved — into a bleached blonde, airheaded student of some sort, living in

Taiwan. That's where we meet Johansson's Lucy, who at least seems more mature than her jerk of a boyfriend, who forces her to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a shady gang boss. Turns out, it's a drug delivery — a shiny blue crystal called cph4. Lucy and a few other unfortunates are the chosen mules, doomed to fly to Europe with packages implanted in their stomachs. Only, there's a hitch. Roughed up by thugs, Lucy suffers blows to the abdomen, and the drug starts leaking into her system. Suddenly, she's writhing uncontrollably — on the ceiling, no less. And then things get really weird. The drug's effect is to enhance Lucy's brain capacity. As it starts to climb — 20 percent, 30 percent, and so on — Lucy can suddenly speak Chinese. She can shoot six guys at a time. She can hear and see and feel —

everything. She remembers being an infant. She calls her mother back home: "I remember the taste of your milk in my mouth," she says, tearfully. Because she's becoming so smart — Lucy uses two laptops at a time, furiously unlocking the secrets of science — she knows that her condition gives her only 24 hours to live. Here's where you shouldn't get bogged down attempting logical analysis. As in, if Lucy can control movement and space and time, why can't she expand the 24 hours? And really, why does she need to fly commercial to Paris? Oh yes, Paris. Lucy heads there to meet Professor Norman, an expert on cerebral capacity (Morgan Freeman, in that gravelly voiced, level-headed role you've seen him play so many times).

"Lucy" proves stronger than "Hercules" By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge About halfway through watching Lucy, right when the action gets into full swing, a thought occurred to me: this is what The Matrix would have been like if Luc Besson directed it. International cast, slick fight scenes, a pretty complicated car chase sequence - it has all the earmarks of his other films (The Professional, last year's The Family). And when Besson's writing and directing credit popped up as soon as the film ended? I about fell out of my seat. I had no idea he was involved with the project at all! Like most people I showed up to watch Scarlett Johansson kick butt. She doesn't disappoint. Johansson's titular Lucy is a party girl hanging out in Taiwan when she gets mixed up in a drug muling

ring run by the powerful Mr. Jang (Min-sik Choi). As a last minute replacement for her loser boyfriend, Lucy is drugged, cut open, and packed with a bag of blue crystals that are soon explained as a highlyconcentrated, synthetic version of a human pregnancy hormone that is being tapped as the new club drug for Western Europe. During transit, Lucy's bag is damaged by a swift kick to her ribs by a Jang lackey and she starts to feel the bizarre effects of the strong overdose. Specifically, the cocktail starts to allow her access to using more and more of her brain power. In a parallel storyline, Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) is explaining to a lecture hall in Paris the actual changes a human being would undergo as its brain's processing power increases. He predicts that

we would be able to improve our current functions to an incalculable level, transverse the laws of physics as we currently understand them, and begin to take on other "superhuman" powers. Before she contacts him, Lucy does begin to display talents for manipulating electronic devices and otherworldly extra-sensory projection. And that's what makes this far-fetched picture so much fun. She starts by having a French police captain (Amr Waked) arrest the other mules and then take down the dangerous Jang whose thugs trail her all the way to France with guns drawn. She ends it by giving humanity a challenge to live up to its ability. ••• Lucy runs 110 minutes and is rated R for strong violence, disturbing images, and sexuality. I give this film two and a

half stars out of four. ••• Dwayne Johnson, you'll always be "The Rock" to me. But your new version of Hercules leaves a lot to be desired. Ever heard the old complaint about all the best stuff being in a movie's trailer? They were talking about this one. As the legendary son of Zeus, Hercules is a great hero, but his tale is told really in a bid to make his mercenary skills more marketable for the behind-thescenes gang (Aksel Hennie, Rufus Sewell, Reece Ritchie, and Ingrid Bosol Berdal) that helps him out of the scrapes the lure of gold lands him in. He's a dirty, bearded barbarian that only really gets by with the advance knowledge, courtesy of Ian MacShane's oracle character, that he won't die in a given battle. The whole premise - defending the

August 7, 2014

kingdom of Thrace from a zombie and centaurian army (neither of which actual contain zombies or centaurs) - is little more than a pair of fantastically filmed battle sequences sandwiched around needless talking and pointless flashbacks to scenes that would have been more fun to watch than see teased before us. Hercules's real story was his legend of completing the twelve labors like slaying the Nemean Lion and cleaning the Augean stables. This would have been more fun to watch that a fictional story based on a fable of old. Even John Hurt's crusty king was a little on the melodramatic side. Hercules runs 118 minutes and is rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences, violence, suggestive comments, brief strong language, and partial nudity. I give this film one star out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

Dining Delights B vitamin intake a key during pregnancy By SUSAN SELASKY Detroit Free Press High on the list of questions from expectant moms is: “What should I eat to keep my baby healthy?” Health experts don’t single out one food expectant moms should have. Instead, most recommend a well-balanced diet that draws from the five essential food groups: grains, protein, dairy, fruits and vegetables. Think dark leafy greens loaded with

folate, a B vitamin that helps prevent spinal defects; dairy products packed with calcium that promotes skeletal growth, and eggs filled with omega-3 fatty acids that aid development of the fetal nervous system. Dr. Shari Maxwell, an associate program director for obstetrics and gynecology at Oakwood Healthcare in Dearborn, Mich., encourages patients to eat well before pregnancy, d u r i n g p re g n a n c y a n d a f t e r pregnancy.

“We know approximately 8 to 10 percent of babies are estimated to be born with a lower than optimal birth weight,” Maxwell says. “That’s mainly due to lack of proper nutrition in the moms.” But forget about the old adage that pregnant women are eating for two. Yes, calorie intake will increase, but that’s not carte blanche to double the daily caloric intake. Pregnant women should take in about an extra 300

Women’s Hospital in Detroit. “There’s no one food group that is going to provide all the nutrients we need,” she says. Pregnant women also need to know there are multiple sources for essential vitamins and minerals. For example, women who can’t digest dairy should look to other foods like beans, spinach or broccoli to get sufficient calcium, Quast says.
