Marie Hackett at the Watershed Nature Center.

Hackett returns to Watershed Former environmental educator takes on new responsibilities

By STEVE HORRELL Of The Edge

M

arie Hackett is back at the Watershed Nature Center, only this time with a twist. When she began a five-year run as the center ’s environmental educator, back in 1998, her main focus was organizing field trips for District 7 students.

With her return this month, Hackett is reaching out to students and parents outside District 7 as well.

“The vision is to expand our relationship with the whole Glen Carbon/Edwardsville community,’” she said during an interview from the center ’s Visitor ’s Center at the edge of the 40-acre preserve.

Hackett retired from District 7 two years ago following a 20-year career teaching fourth, fifth and sixth grades.

She hopes other retired teachers will consider donating some of their time to help out at the W.N.C. “A lot of retired teachers miss their students, and I think volunteering out here would be a wonderful opportunity. I’m putting out a giant invitation for them to join me,” she says.

Her first time around, Hackett worked as part of a cooperative agreement between the school district and the Nature Preserve Foundation, a not-for-profit agency that manages the Watershed. Now she is working solely for the N.P.F.

Her hiring is actually the first phase of a four-phased approach in which the center hopes to partner with SIUE, SWIC, and Lewis & Clark Community College as well as area students and parents who aren’t part of District 7.

“The vision is so much bigger than what we were,” says Leighanne Daley Sanchez, who was hired in March as the center ’s new director. “When Marie was here she was a District 7 teacher who solely served District 7.

They have a lot of students – and that’s important, and we want them here – but we’re talking about kind of blowing that out of the water.”

Hackett has a master ’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and during her first tenure she created a curriculum that complemented the school district’s science curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grades.

Hackett vows that when she gets the new curriculum up and running, it will align with the Illinois Learning Standards and those of the National Science Teachers Association. Teachers who bring their students out to the Watershed Nature Center will be able to relax, she says.

And teachers and students will benefit from hands-on learning about nature.

“You can read books about the prairie, you can watch videos about the prairie, or you can stand in a prairie and feel what it was like for people to live on the prairies,” Hackett says. “It’s the same with second graders studying metamorphosis: you can hold figurines of frogs or you can come out here and put a tadpole in

your hand.”

Hackett’s ties to the nature center reach back to the early 1990s around the time John and Kay Kendall proposed turning an abandoned sewage lagoon into nature center. The Kendalls, she says, would be thrilled to see what the center has become.

Returning to the center allows her to return to what she enjoyed most about teaching: nature education.

Sanchez says the short-term goal is to attract younger students, from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, then move up to middle school, high school, and college and junior college students.

Members of the Nature Preserve Foundation Board are also engaged in “funding conversations” about whether to hire a director of environmental education with the idea of getting a summer program started.

The Watershed Nature Center turns 25 years old next year. To prepare for that, Sanchez and Hackett are planning to integrate more passive and active programs for kids. As usual, the center is looking for volunteers to maintain the grounds and help remove invasive plants that are threatening to push out native vegetation.

Getting rid of invasives would attract more birds, which, in turn, would bring other animals back, Sanchez says.

The switch to expand their services to a broader audience will likely attract more visitors to the Watershed Nature Center.

“It’s a hidden gem,” Hackett says. “I think Watershed is something people hear about but don’t experience as much as they could. We’re nature nearby.”

Missouri History Museum to exhibit Nazi Propaganda The Nazi Party developed a sophisticated propaganda machine that deftly spread lies about its political opponents, Jews, and the need to justify war. But Nazi p ro p a g a n d a w a s m u c h m o re complex than that. For the Nazis to achieve power and pursue their racial policies and expansionist war efforts, a much more nuanced picture had to be painted—one that would appeal to broad swaths of the population, not just a fanatical extreme.

Featuring rarely seen artifacts, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda draws visitors into a rich multimedia environment vividly illustrating the insidious allure of much of Nazi propaganda.

The exhibition opens at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park on April 11, 2015 and will be on display

that needed to defend itself from those who would destroy it. Jews were cast as the primary enemies, but others, including Roma, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and mentally and physically disabled persons, were also portrayed as threats to the “national community.”

As Germany pushed the world into war, Nazi propaganda rationalized Germany’s territorial expansion as self-defense. Jews were depicted as agents of disease and corruption. The Nazis’ actions against them, in Germany and occupied countries, were promoted as necessary measures to protect the population at large.

Admission to State of Deception is free.

The Missouri History Museum has been active in the St. Louis community since 1866. Founding members established the organization “for the purpose of saving from oblivion the early history of the city and state.” Today, the Missouri History Museum seeks to deepen the understanding of past choices, present circumstances, and future possibilities; strengthen the bonds of the community; and facilitate solutions to common problems.

Edison’s to host Classic Car Cruise series

Edison’s Entertainment Complex has teamed up with the Piston Pushers Car Club for a series of classic car cruises this summer. The first cruise is Saturday, May 23, and cruises will be held in Edison’s parking lot from 6-9pm on the fourth Saturday of every month from May to October.

All cruises are free and open to the public, and a live DJ will be spinning tunes all night.

Classic car owners are invited to show up, show off their vehicles, and join the cruise each month.

Edison’s full-service bar and restaurant will be open, and light refreshments will be available for purchase in the parking lot.

Members of the public are encouraged to check out the cars and then enjoy Edison’s bowling, laser tag, and arcade attractions.

“We’re always looking for new ways to build excitement through special events that appeal to all ages,” said Edison’s CEO and managing partner Matt McSparin.

“There are truly some impressive classic vehicles that will be here and we hope the community enjoys the opportunity to be a part of these events,” continued McSparin.

through September 7, 2015.

“Adolf Hitler was an avid student of propaganda and borrowed techniques from the Allies in World War I, his Socialist and Communist rivals, the Italian Fascist Party, as well as modern advertising,” says exhibition curator Steven Luckert.

“Drawing upon these models, he successfully marketed the Nazi Party, its ideology, and himself to the German people.”

The exhibition reveals how shortly after World War I, the Nazi Party began to transform itself from an obscure, extremist group into the largest political party in democratic Germany. Hitler early on recognized how propaganda, combined with the use of terror, could help his radical party gain mass support and votes. He personally adapted the ancient symbol of the swastika and the emotive colors of red, black, and white to create the movement’s flag. In doing so, Hitler established a potent visual identity that has branded the Nazi Party ever since.

After seizing power, the Nazi Party took over all communications in Germany. It marshaled the state’s resources to consolidate power and relentlessly promote its vision of a “racially pure,” utopian Germany

"The Man From U.N.C.L.E."

It's not until the climax of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," a colorful, Cold War-era spy thriller, that its main failing becomes clear: The plot doesn't matter.

The characters don't care. The script doesn't care. And, the audience shouldn't care either.

That doesn't make this odd adaptation of the 1960s NBC series bad. But it is a false promise that distracts from some of the other pleasures (and missteps) of the spectacle. " T h e M a n F ro m U . N . C . L . E . " m e rc i f u l l y d o e s n o t require any knowledge of its television origin. In fact, the forgettable acronym is uttered once and explained only in text in the closing credits.

This ode to handsome men, women, clothes and cars is less about a Russian (Armie Hammer) and an American (Henry Cavill) teaming up to infiltrate a shadowy organization with nuclear ambitions, than a sort of pastiche of the '60s spy genre derived from Vogue magazine spreads.

Director Guy Ritchie offers an intriguing and captivating introduction, though, weaving together humor, action, and stylish, angular shots in a disarmingly simple, but effective opening sequence. American agent Napoleon Solo (Cavill) needs to get a girl, Gaby (Alicia Vikander), daughter of "Hitler's favorite rocket scientist," out of East Berlin, while Russian agent Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) tries to stop that from happening.

The scene builds tension expertly and works with the constraints of the 1960s cars to make the chase exciting.

The suave Solo is unfazed by setbacks, and yet he's still in awe of Illya's brute power.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 116 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Fantastic Four"

I'll admit it. About an hour into "Fantastic Four," the inexplicably plodding and dreary new attempt to adapt t h e b e l o v e d M a r v e l s t o r y, I s t a r t e d t h i n k i n g a b o u t Ethan Hunt from "Mission: Impossible."

Wouldn't it be nice, I thought, as I watched these fake young superheroes battle unconvincingly on a fake-looking planet for a reason nobody seemed to care much about anyway, to see Ethan swoop in — a real middle-aged guy hanging off a real plane by his bare knuckles, with a clear and immediate purpose and a real, throbbing pulse?

OK, enough wistfulness. "Fantastic Four," directed b y J o s h Tr a n k , d e s e r v e s t o b e j u d g e d o n i t s o w n merits. So here goes: It's not wholesale terrible — just depressingly mediocre, and at a certain point you sort of start wishing it WERE definitively terrible, because that would at least make it more entertaining or give it a certain strange raison d'etre. (Let's amend that slightly: the final scene IS terrible. But we'll get to that.)

It's not that the raw materials aren't there. Aside from the known story — in a few words, science-loving humans experience a cosmic accident while exploring inter-dimensional travel and emerge with formidable superpowers — we have some talented actors on hand.

They include the usually very compelling Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan, along with Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Reg E. Cathey ("The Wire") and an expertly creepy Tim Blake Nelson.

It all begins promisingly, with a setup that introduces Reed Richards and Ben Grimm as fifth-graders on Long

On the Edge of the Weekend

Island. Reed is a bespectacled science nerd; he tells his class his life goal is "to be the first person in human history to teleport myself." The unimpressed teacher directs Reed to come back with a more realistic goal.

But the precocious lad has already developed a miniversion of said teleporter. Years later, Reed (now Teller) is back with his invention at the high school science fair. Here, he and Ben meet Dr. Franklin Storm (Cathey) and daughter Sue (Mara), who realize what Reed has — a better teleporter than their own. Storm gives Reed a scholarship at his science institute to pursue his dream.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for sci-fi action violence, and language."

"Mistress America"

The first year of college is an anxious time for anybody.

The predictable framework of high school falls away, and a teenager who lived with her parents is suddenly a freerange semi-adult with her own dorm room and infinite decisions to make about who she will become.

A c t re s s L o l a K i r k e e m b o d i e s t h i s a n x i e t y a n d vulnerability in "Mistress America," a sharply written exploration of identity and friendship by director Noah Baumbach and actress Greta Gerwig in their third cinematic collaboration.

With its crackling, stylized dialogue, "Mistress America" almost should have been a play. Its deliberately crafted phrases stick around long after the credits roll; like, "He's one of those people that I hate, except that I'm in love with him" and "Her beauty was that rare kind that made you want to look more like yourself and not like her."

The language is the central character here, with wry quips coming so quickly, the film practically demands a second viewing even before the first is finished.

Tracy (Kirke) is a freshman at a New York college, and campus life is not what she expected. Her enthusiastic application for the literary society is rejected, and the one friend she makes, a guy she might even like, ends up having a super-jealous girlfriend. Tracy was expecting big-city thrills, but finds lonely ennui instead.

Things change when she meets her soon-to-be stepsister, the flamboyant, frenetic Brooke (Gerwig). Tracy is immediately taken with the 30-year-old's dynamic personality and glamorous lifestyle. Brooke lives in an illegal apartment, has an overseas boyfriend, goes to the city's hottest nightclubs, works as a spin instructor and talks big about her plans to open a restaurant/hair salon in Brooklyn.

She also has an idea for "a television show, which I've read is the new novel" about a self-made superhero named "Mistress America."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language including some sexual references."

RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"American Ultra"

The likably awkward chemistry of Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg remains intact in "American Ultra," a violent stoner action-comedy that's half "Pineapple Express," half "The Bourne Identity," and not as good as either.

Stewart and Eisenberg, who starred together in the splendidly low-key summer comedy "Adventureland," again come together as an appealing, mutually mop-headed tandem that matches Eisenberg's stuttering unease with Stewart's deadpan cool.

They play a flannel-wearing West Virginia couple, Mike and Phoebe, happy together despite Mike's weed habit, perpetual apologizing and panic attacks from just about anything that

August 27, 2015

upsets his seemingly innate inertia. Looking at a car that's crashed into a tree, he wonders to Phoebe, placating and devoted, if he's the tree and she's the car.

The small-town, low-stakes drama of "American Ultra" is convincing in the beginning, thanks to the two stars. But it's a setup.

Unbeknownst to Mike, a convenience store clerk, he's an elite killing machine trained by the CIA, a decommissioned government experiment. Few in the movies would be a more unlikely secret agent than Eisenberg. Did the program include Michael Cera? Was Woody Allen in charge?

Switching to Langley, the film, directed by Nima Nourizadeh ("Project X") and written by Max Landis ("Chronicle"), fills in the backstory. A petulant young agent (Topher Grace) has risen in the ranks and now wants to eliminate evidence of the experiment that gave Mike his secret talents, overseen by Connie Britton's more sympathetic Victoria Lasseter.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong bloody violence, language throughout, drug use and some sexual content."

RUNNING TIME: 96 minutes.

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

"Hitman: Agent 47"

The idea of the high-tech, emotionless super-soldier is so popular in movies, it's practically a convention. The "Terminator" and "Bourne" franchises, and even last year's animated "Big Hero 6," imagine characters programmed to kill and the would-be world destroyers who want to control them.

The same formula is at work in "Hitman: Agent 47," a stylized shoot-em-up based on a video game, of which no previous knowledge is required. Rupert Friend plays the titular character: an elite assassin genetically engineered to be smarter, faster, more fearless and less remorseful than ordinary human sociopaths. Named for the bar code branded on the back of his head, Agent 47 is stoic, expressionless and amazingly efficient at wielding multiple firearms and using everyday objects as murder weapons.

Unfortunately, "Hitman: Agent 47" leans on another familiar Hollywood convention, this one painfully outdated: the damsel in distress. It's always disheartening to see this tired trope employed, but especially here, where the female protagonist is clearly as capable as any of her male counterparts. Why must she appear constantly on the verge of tears? Why does a brilliant woman like this need saving?

Some moviegoers may not mind the use of this lazy device — which serves as a catalyst for the action and ostensibly why we should care — but for those who do, it's as frustrating as having a piece of popcorn stuck between your teeth.

Dogged by fractured memories from her childhood, Katia (Hannah Ware) is searching for answers. She's turned the biggest wall in her one-room apartment into "A Beautiful Mind"-style mess of maps and photos and newspaper clippings dotted with push-pins and pieces of string. So singularly focused is she on her search that she sleeps on a mattress without sheets.

Two men are after her: Agent 47 and the mysterious John Smith (Zachary Quinto). Because Katia can sense danger before it happens, she escapes through her apartment window and heads straight to a shady, underground guy to secure a fake passport.

"Be careful, little girl," he tells her. "The world is a dangerous place."

Never mind that she is a full-grown adult woman who already knows where to buy a fake passport.

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

RUNNING TIME: 96 minutes.

Associated Press

This photo provided by Sony Pictures Classics shows, Bel Powley as Minnie Goetze, and Kristen Wiig as Charlotte Goetze, in "The Diary of a Teenage Girl."

"Diary of a Teenage Girl" strikingly intimate

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press In "Diary of a Teenage Girl," a bell-bottomed California 15-year-old girl comes of age in 1970s San Francisco. She documents the transition she's been craving, narrating into a tape recorder her eager plunge into sex and adulthood, and illustrating it in crude cartoons that take after R. Crumb.

The awakening of Minnie Goetze (23-year-old Bel Powley) is awkward and brash, enthusiastic and angst-ridden, lewd and tender. And it's gloriously honest.

As a film made by women and starring a female protagonist, "Diary of a Teenage Girl" is a bracingly fresh entry in a coming-of-age

tradition that has, in the movies, almost always been seen through male eyes. It's an unusually accomplished first film from Marielle Heller, who also wrote the screenplay, an adaptation of Phoebe Gloeckner's 2002 graphic novel.

The different perspective is clear from the first shot, in which Heller, in close-up, trails from behind and below the hippy strut of Minnie.

She narrates: "I had sex today. Holy s---." Minnie smiles to herself, but her glow momentarily fades when a buxom blonde jogs past her.

Such fleeting, contrary emotions of exuberance and self-doubt pinball throughout "Diary of a Teenage Girl," a movie with a firm grip on how it feels to be a precocious 15-yearold in burning pursuit of self-discovery.

She finds much of it within her family's wall-

papered, second-floor San Francisco apartment, where she lives with her mom, Charlotte (Kristen Wiig), and little sister, Gretal (Abby Wait). The air is filled with cigarette smoke, California sunlight and the moral muddiness of post-60s, Patty Hearst-era 1976. After a string of men, her mom is "looser now," Minnie says.

She vacuums during coke-fueled cleaning binges.

Minnie, big-eyed with dark bangs, is told she "exudes sexuality." Her first sexual experience, and one that continues throughout the film, is with her mother's 35-year-old easy-going, beer-drinking boyfriend, Monroe (a striking, naturally charismatic Alexander Skarsgard).

What begins with childlike playfulness begets a full-blown affair.

The age difference, of course, makes the relationship inappropriate, but "Diary" largely withholds that judgment. Minnie is the one who's choosing her partners and driving her story. After their first time in bed, she asks Monroe to take a polaroid of her, so she can see how she's changed. She deduces she looks different: "probably my aura."

In her headlong rush into adulthood, she passes by the boys of her high school. One is frightened by her experienced prowess in bed.

The escapades grow darker, too, in the chapter she introduces as "The Making of a Harlot." The sole grounding voice in her life is her former stepfather Pascal (Christopher Meloni), who makes comic but heartfelt attempts to sternly instruct Minnie and Gretal.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." won't spawn sequel

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge That Guy Ritchie's new film version of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" shares its title and characters' names with the 19641968 NBC series is about the extent of the parallels that one can realistically establish between the two. I've never seen the old show; it doesn't rerun all that often apparently. I do watch David McCallum on “NCIS” every week, though. This movie is a stylized romp of opposing Cold War secret agents through the swingin', sexy '60s, set to a radical soundtrack and doing some great things for bringing back retro fashions. I found the action well-choreographed, but the paper-thin plot fuller of holes than the later James Bond pictures that Sean Connery starred in. It's

practically a better edited of the non-canon “Never Say Never Again”. I wonder if the film – which debuted a great trailer last winter – would have been better served by being held back further from the vastly superior release of “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.”

Pitting the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) against Superman (Henry Cavill) was a matchup that I was looking forward to after both were given short shrift two summers ago when their respective franchise ambitions f l o p p e d t o o u r m e rc i l e s s n i t picking. That they’re actually p l a y i n g , r e s p e c t i v e l y, K G B goon Illya Kuryakin and CIA rabble-rouser Napoleon Solo is merely splitting hairs. They’re partnered up together to protect German auto mechanic Gaby Te l l e r ( A l i c i a Vi k a n d e r ) , a n

asylum-seeking asset from East Berlin as she works to infiltrate her uncle’s company where her father is secretly working on building a uranium warhead. The whole thing is very kitschy in a day and age where the twelve scariest things I think about before breakfast don’t even touch on Nuclear Winter. Vikander is the key to making this picture even remotely successful. She’s Kuryakin’s love interest, Solo’s foil, the film’s comedy impetus, a n d s h e l o o k s g re a t d o i n g i t behind mini-dresses, bug-eyed sunglasses, and baubles of jewelry t h a t re m i n d m e t h a t m o l d e d plastic used to look good as an accessory.

The trio puts forth a lot of effort to thwart a great villainess (Elizabeth Debicki) who gets far too little screen time to ply her

murderous feminine wiles before a l e s s - t h a n - w i t t y f a re w e l l b y picture’s end. Her main henchman (Christian Berkel) gets some juicy scenes, but the play off about as dangerously as the climaxes of the “Austin Powers” films. There are two great auto chases in the movie, the first coming as a part of the opening credits as Solo smuggles Gaby across Checkpoint Charlie while being pursued by a seemingly invincible Kuryakin driving a tiny sedan. The other is more formidable between a dune buggy with a really high suspension, an amphibious vehicle of some sort, and a Kuryakin on a motorcycle proving that with proper costuming he can look as good on a bike as Steve McQueen.

But, brother, he sure wasn’t doing his own stunts like the King of Cool would have done.

August 27, 2015

I re a l l y h a d h o p e d t o f i n d something old become something new again with this property.

The lackluster debut and tepid response from critics means that we won’t see a sequel to “Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, which is probably for the best. I say this especially because Hugh Grant’s little-used character, Waverly, was sadly underdeveloped and Jared Harris did the worst tough-guy American accent I ever heard in my life. He was essentially trying to channel Nick Nolte in, well, anything Nick Nolte’s ever starred in. The effect set my teeth on edge.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E" runs 116 minutes and is rated PG-13 for action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.

Human rights groups say the 22 were part of more than 220 Assyrian Christians captured when the Islamic State group overran several farming communities in northeastern Syria in February. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said tribal leaders mediated and paid money for their release.

The Assyrian Human Rights Network said 14 of those released were women. The network says the freed hostages were taken to the Virgin Mary Church in the city of Hassakeh.

It also posted photos on its Facebook page, showing mostly elderly men and women, some in tears, being greeted by a priest.

The Assyrian Federation of Sweden, which has followed the case, said Tuesday's release brings the total number of freed

JERUSALEM (AP) — Some Israeli rabbis have created an independent Jewish conversion court, defying the Orthodox establishment's monopoly on religious affairs.

While the conversions will not be officially recognized, the move signals growing impatience in some sectors with the Orthodox rabbinate's tight grip on aspects of daily life and a political leadership that has not liberalized access to conversion and other religious services. The Orthodox controls conversions, marriage and burials.

Katy Trail pit stop re-opens Peers Store in Marthasville serving cyclists

By TOM UHLENBROCK Missouri Division of Tourism Ralph Glosemeyer returned to his boyhood home to help celebrate its rebirth as a pit stop for riders and walkers enjoying the Katy Trail State Park.

Glosemeyer, 66, grew up in the white, two-story general store that was built in 1896, three miles west of Marthasville and became a landmark amid the agricultural fields of the fertile lower Missouri River valley.

The Peers Store has re-opened as a pit stop for users of the Katy Trail.

The river ran nearby, Highway 94 was out front and the Missouri Kansas Texas rail line, known as the Katy, was between the store and the highway.

Known as the Peers Store, after a Warren County judge, Glosemeyer’s parents, Linus and Loretta, bought the store in 1940 and the family ran it until 2012, when it closed.

Business was good, Glosemeyer said, but living on the flood plain had its risks.

“In the ’51 flood, we had three feet of water in this building,” he said.

“Dad moved the glass-topped candy counter upstairs to my room. We moved the post office upstairs, too.

People had to crawl up a ladder to the roof to get their mail.”

In 1903 the river channel shifted south about two miles, and the railroad abandoned the rail line in 1986, which was converted to a linear park stretching 240 miles across Missouri’s mid-section.

Diane Lierman, who is Ralph’s little sister by two years, attended the re-opening celebration with her brother and said there was a final blow that closed the store.

“We were doing very well until the Walmart came to Washington,” she said.

New Life for an Old Store The store has been given a new life, serving trail users, by Dan and Connie Burkhardt, who own a farm

and vineyard in Marthasville. Dan was a friend of the late Ted Jones and his wife, Pat, who provided the funds to acquire the old rail bed and develop it as the nation’s longest rails-to-trails conversion.

The Burkhardts also are promoters of the beauty and farming heritage of the lower M i s s o u r i R i v e r v a l l e y. T h e y founded the Katy Land Trust, which encourages landowners to preserve the farms and fields along the trail from development.

Dan Burkhardt said the general store will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on weekends and offer Katy Trail users and local residents a place to rest and refresh on the shaded porch. The interior of the

store displays the works of five artists who are inspired by the scenic beauty of the river valley.

“It will be a place to talk about conservation and agriculture along the river,” he said. “We’ll talk about the beauty of the area and how lucky St. Louis is to have it an hour away.”

Burkhardt noted that the revival of the general store falls on the 25th anniversary of the Katy Trail.

“We have a soda machine on the porch and ice cream in the store for riders and residents who need a cold treat,” he said. “It’s sort of a limited menu.”

A Good Partnership Despite major floods in 1941, 1947, 1951, 1986, 1993 and 1995,

Dan Burkhardt said the clapboard buildin g was in sur pr isingly good shape, a testament to its construction. He and his wife had the warped wood floor replaced, and painted the wood shelves and large counter white.

The walls now are hung with the artwork of Bill Fields, Bryan Haynes, Gary Lucy, Billyo O’Donnell and Julie Wiegand.

Prospective buyers can contact the artists; 25 percent of any sales will go to the Katy Land Trust.

“They’re painting what we want to preserve so it’s a good partnership,” Burkhardt said.

At the open house held for t h e re - o p e n i n g , t h e M i s s o u r i Humanities Council invited visitors

to bring old photos, documents and memories to share.

Ralph Glosemeyer and his two sisters, Diane and Kathy, were happy to share their tales of growing up in the store. All three lived in the back rooms and upstairs until they left to get married.

“As soon as we were able, we worked in the store,” Diane said.

“We stocked shelves and ran the register when we were old enough.”

Ralph said the store sold groceries and farm supplies, and did a good business until the 1970s, when sales began slowing down.

“Me and Dad then bought 65 acres together near Concord Hill and began raising hogs,” said Ralph, who still owns the farm.

Diane also lives nearby at Concord Hill, and said she worried about the old general store each time she drove by on Highway 94.

“We were so afraid they were going to tear it down,” she said. “It’s nice that it has been saved.”

On the Edge of the Weekend

Travel For The Edge Looking for a great way to spend a long, three-day holiday weekend?

Whether visitors' ideal getaway involves loading the car with family, fishing rods, golf clubs, camping gear or water skis, they need to look no further than Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks.

Family fun on the water.

Labor Day Weekend, September 4-7, is a great time to get out of the house and experience the vast number of activities and attractions that await visitors at the Lake of the Ozarks, recently named the "Best Recreational Lake in the Nation" by readers of USA TODAY. The Lake, which covers 54,000 acres with 64 billion gallons of water and features over 1,150 miles of meandering shoreline (more than the entire Pacific Coast of California!), offers many options for on-the-water fun. Visitors can choose a leisurely cruise with a group of friends on a pontoon or waterskiing and tubing behind a speed boat. There are plenty of public ramps for those who bring their own boats, or the area's marinas rent boats, as well as personal watercraft, paddle boards and paddle boats. And, the Lake of the Ozarks has a reputation for being one of the best fisheries in the US. Crappie, bass, catfish and many other species are plentiful in the Lake and there are Coast Guardcertified fishing guides that know where all the fishing "hot spots" are.

Hiking is a favorite weekend activity at the Lake's two Missouri State Parks. Ha Ha Tonka, which was voted one of the best state parks in the country by readers of USA TODAY, features the ruins of a 1900s "castle" constructed atop a bluff overlooking the Niangua arm of the Lake, as well as 14 hiking trails covering over 15 miles throughout the park. The trails allow visitors to see the topography of the area, complete with sinkholes, natural bridges and springs. Lake of the Ozarks State Park, the state's largest, features 12 trails ranging in length from .8 of a mile to 13.5 miles. This park also features an aquatic trail and Ozark Caverns, located inside the park, offers handheld lantern tours of one of the area's four show caves.

Speaking of trails, the area also is home to the Lake of the Ozarks

14

Golf Trail and the Lake of the Ozarks Wine Trail. The Golf Trail is comprised of 13 championship courses designed by some of the game's biggest stars, including Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Tom Weiskopf, Ken Kavanaugh and more. Each course has its own unique beauty and challenges that appeal to beginners and seasoned pros alike.

The Wine Trail features six different stops, inviting visitors to sample area wines and enjoy vineyard views. Each stop along the trail has its own unique sights, sounds, smells and tastes to excite the senses and create lasting memories.

Outdoor adventures also can take visitors indoors (sort of) when they go underground at the Lake of the Ozarks. The area features four show caves, which are open for guided walking tours year-round. Bridal Cave, Jacob's Cave, Ozark Caverns and Fantasy World Caverns feature cave formations that include a "pipe organ" of stalactites in Bridal Cave, "angel's shower" in Ozark Caverns, prehistoric bones in Jacob's Cave and an underground lake in Fantasy

On the Edge of the Weekend

World Caverns. Cave temperatures remain in the 60s year-round, so this is a perfect all-weather activity.

The Lake also boasts many different lodging facilities. There are large-scale, full-service resorts and smaller family-owned resorts, local and national hotels and motels, romantic bed and breakfasts, as well as cabins, campgrounds and RV parks. So, wherever one wants to rest their head after a fun day of exploring the Lake, there is no shortage of options.

Although the summer season is entering its waning days, there are still plenty of events, activities and sightseeing opportunities throughout the rest of the year at the Lake of the Ozarks. To find out more about all the fun events and attractions, as well as dining and accommodations at the Lake, call the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau (CVB) at 800-FUNLAKE, or visit the CVB's awardwinning website www.FunLake. com.

Music

For The Edge

Members of Wishbone Ash are, from left: Joe Crabtree, Andy Powell, Bob Skeat and Muddy Manninen. Below, the Wildey Theatre.

Wishbone Ash Veteran rockers to make pair of appearances at The Wildey For The Edge Wishbone Ash, one of the most influential guitar bands in the history of rock, returns to these shores in September with the Road Warriors North American Tour. The tour begins in Colorado and moves eastward through the month, passing through 12 states and Ontario, Canada.

That tour will make a two-night stop in Edwardsville with performances at the Wildey Theatre on Sept. 12 and 13.

The second performance will feature the band performing the "Argus" album in its entirety – the only such performance on this tour.

Tickets are available at www.wildeytheatre. com.

Longtime fans and new converts alike will revel in the group’s signature twin-guitar mastery and powerhouse rhythm section as they present classics spanning their career and showcase selections from their latest studio release, “Blue Horizon.”

True road warriors, each year Wishbone Ash logs around 30,000 miles, roughly equivalent to circumnavigating the earth; but this year may just set an all-time record with a series of July performances in South Africa.

“We are looking forward to reconnecting with fans from the past who are just catching on that we've been touring non-stop for 46 years, to see and hear how we’ve grown while carrying the torch,” says founding member Andy Powell “And for our faithful fans who have walked with us consistently through the years, we have some special things in store to reach new heights in our relationship.”

The Road Warriors North American Tour also comes on the heels of two live recording projects in May, including a direct-to-vinyl performance at renowned Metropolis Studios complex in London slated for a fall release,

18

expected to be available on both vinyl and CD. “Recording live in a studio and going straight to acetate is rarely done,” says Powell. “The conditions have to be just right, because you only get one shot. Everything has to be in sync.”

Immediately following the Metropolis session, the band did a three-day residency at Le Triton Theatre in Les Lilas, Paris that was recorded for a DVD release in October.

Powell says, “We recorded three nights of material, including current versions of some classic songs, plus some deep tracks that people won't necessarily expect.”

Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash is led

by Powell on guitar and vocals, trading licks with Finnish guitar master Muddy Manninen. Bassist Bob Skeat, an 18-year veteran of the band, sets the pace with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers whose performance credits include Pendragon and David Cross of King Crimson.

Through the years the band has delved into various musical genres, from folk, blues and jazz to pedal-to-the-metal rock and electronica. Whatever the style, Wishbone Ash’s hallmark is the distinctive twinmelodic lead guitar interplay that has influenced such bands as Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden and, more recently,

Opeth.

Wishbone Ash has to its credit 24 original studio recordings, 11 live albums and five live DVDs along with a DVD rockumentary (“This is Wishbone Ash”).

In 2014, the band released “Blue Horizon” (Solid Rockhouse Records) to international acclaim. Praised for its stylistic variety and powerful performances, the album features guest artist, Ireland’s Pat McManus, on fiddle for two tracks. “Blue Horizon” also includes two songs written by Aynsley Powell (Andy Powell’s son) and one by former Wishbone Ash guitarist Roger Filgate.

According to Powell, the album’s diversity reflects the culmination of several factors.

“The band basically lives together yearround, so we have a very strong level of communication that translates in our performances and recordings,” he says.

“We’ve come to an era where the industry has to pigeonhole a band as Classic Rock, Prog Rock, Heritage Rock and so on. The truth is that we have always kept our options open and always relied on the musicianship of the players to lead the way. It’s fun to be stylistically diverse and this has, in its way, contributed to our longevity.”

Powell has been working on his autobiography, “Eyes Wide Open: True Tales of a Wishbone Ash Warrior,” which is slated for October publication and will be available through Amazon.

“It’s quite an undertaking to put 46 years of being a touring musician in this one band into book form,” he says. “I’ve seen a lot of changes in the music business and the world in general, as you can imagine.”

There is no other rock band in history that has done more with the twin guitar concept than The Ash. Be sure to catch them on the Road Warriors Tour this September. Tour dates and more information can be found at www.wishboneash.com.

Repertory Theatre to present "All the Way" For The Edge

T

he Repertory Theatre of St. Louis presents "All the Way" by Robert Schenkkan and directed by Steven Woolf. More topical than ever before, this behind-the-scenes view of Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidency runs September 9 – October 4 on the Browning Mainstage of the LorettoHilton Center for the Performing Arts, 130 Edgar Road (on the campus of Webster University).

It’s 1963. Following the assassination of JFK, Lyndon Johnson becomes America’s “accidental president.”

Launched into the presidency over a country in turmoil, LBJ maneuvers and manipulates his way through a series of power plays to pass the Civil Rights Act and to guarantee a full term in the Oval Office. Deception, bullying and blackmail are all strategies in his arsenal.

But in this 2014 Tony Award Winner for Best Play, featuring a large landscape of people and characters, LBJ makes clear that it’s not personal, it’s just politics.

"All the Way"’s talented cast of 19 performers features Brian Dykstra (last seen at The Rep in 2011’s Red) as LBJ. Bernadette Quigley (2009’s Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde) plays Lady Bird Johnson and Avery Glymph portrays Martin Luther King, Jr., in his Rep debut.

Nearly every other member of the cast will play two to four important political figures from LBJ’s presidency, for a total of 40 characters. The rest of the cast, alphabetically, features Gary Wayne Barker, J. Cameron Barnett, Stephen D’Ambrose, J. Samuel Davis, Ron Himes, Alan Knoll, Anderson Matthews, Richard Prioleau, Michael James Reed, Elizabeth Meadows Rouse, Jon Shaver, Robert Vincent Smith, John Leonard Thompson, Myxolydia Tyler, Jerry Vogel and Kurt Zischke.

Led by Rep Artistic Director Steven Woolf, the creative staff also includes James Kronzer, set designer, Rob Denton, light designer, Dorothy Marshall Englis, costume designer, Fitz Patton, sound designer, Matthew Young, projection designer, Rich Cole, casting director, Emilee Buchheit, stage manager and Lionel Christian, assistant stage manager.

Major sponsorship for this production is provided by Wells Fargo Advisors.

Curtain times are Tuesday at 7 pm; Wednesday-Friday at 8 pm; selected Wednesday matinees at 1:30 pm; Saturday matinees at 4 pm; selected Saturday nights at 8 pm; Sunday matinees at 2 pm; and selected Sunday evenings at 7 pm.

Tickets start at $17.50 (previews) and $21 (regular performances). To purchase, visit The Rep Box Office, located inside the Loretto-Hilton Center, charge by phone by calling (314) 968-4925 or visit The Rep’ Online Box Office at http://www.repstl.org.

The Rep is partnering with the Saint Louis Art Museum to enhance the patron experience of "All the Way". Participants can take a free one-hour tour through SLAM’s collection, featuring works representing political drama. No reservations are required and more information can be found at http://www.slam.org.

“With its powerful story and dynamic score, "Wicked" has captivated St. Louis audiences for the past ten years. It truly is a spellbinding experience you can share with the entire family.”

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. "Wicked" tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the "Wicked" Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

"Wicked" has been declared “A Cultural Phenomenon” by Variety and “The Best Musical of the Decade” by Entertainment Weekly. Since its New York premiere over
