For The Edge

Above and below, visitors browse the offerings at a previous St. Louis Fall RV Show.

St. Louis Fall RV Show takes shape By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge The summer camping season is coming to an end and soon it will be time to roll up the awning and put away the fishing poles and lawn chairs. While the remaining good weather camping days may be numbered, fall is a great time to check out what’s new in the recreational vehicle market and pick up a bargain for next year. Whether you prefer the freedom of traveling the open road in a luxury motorhome or staying put and relaxing in a trailer, the annual St. Louis Fall RV Show is your one stop shop for all models and budgets. So if you’ve been dreaming of becoming an RV owner or upgrading your older unit, mark your calendar now and get ready for one of the biggest shows in the region. The annual St. Louis Fall RV Show returns Sept. 6 through 8 on the parking lot of the St. Louis Outlet Mall shopping center (formerly The Mills) in Hazelwood. Walk around and check out the 300 RVs that will be on display, including Class A motorhomes, travel trailers, 5th wheel trailers, folding camping trailers, sport trailers, mini-motorhomes, van campers and conversion vans. This is the perfect opportunity for both RV enthusiasts and newcomers to find out more about what’s on offer and pick up a great deal to boot. The event is promoted by the Midwest Gateway RV Dealers Association, currently made up of 10 area recreational vehicle dealers from both sides of the river. Missouri dealers include Apache Village in Hazelwood, Bill Thomas Camper Sales in Wentzville, Bourbon RV Center in Bourbon, Byerly RV Center in Eureka, 47 West Trailer Sales in Troy, M.B. Thomas RV Sales in St.

Louis, Midwest RV Center in St. Louis, Middleton RV Center in Festus and Van City RV in St. Louis. Illinois dealers include Colman’s Country Campers in Hartford. Daecus Vance, sales manager at Colman’s Country Campers said the Fall RV Show is attractive to customers because dealers will have their new model year products on display, and they will also be looking to reduce their 2013 end-of-year inventory. He said this is a good opportunity to possibly find better deals. Vance, who will have between 15 and 20 models on show, said the economy

has definitely made an impact on camper sales of late. He said he’s seeing more and younger customers looking for their first camper. The effects of the recession can still be felt and many customers are looking to put their hard-earned money into a camper they can enjoy over and over again rather than spend it on a single trip. “Most people are doing more of the staying close to home instead of taking that once-a-year trip to Florida,” said Vance. “Younger buyers are coming back into the market. It’s neat seeing families coming in with little kids, and they’re just getting

August 29, 2013

started.” Concessions at the show will be provided by the Maryland Heights Lions Club. All proceeds will benefit the Lions Club and its charitable functions. Admission and parking to the Fall RV Show are free. The St. Louis Outlet Mall Shopping Center is located at 5555 St. Louis Mills Blvd. in Hazelwood, Mo. Show hours are: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6 and Saturday, Sept. 7; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8. For more information, call 288-9952 or visit www.stlrv.com.

People People planner Museum to focus on founder of Mormon church The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, a division of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency; the Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission; and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation are partnering to highlight Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church, and his legal issues in Illinois. Two days of events starting in Nauvoo, Illinois, one of the key settlements in the early years of the Mormon faith, kicks off Sept. 23, followed on Sept. 24 by an evening presentation of Smith’s extradition hearing. Tickets are now available at www.josephsmithcaptured.com. Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs’s attempt to “eradicate” the Mormons caused legal problems for Smith, the Mormon prophet who founded The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). He employed the writ of habeas corpus while an Illinois resident to free himself from extradition to face charges in Missouri. In Nauvoo on Sept. 23, the events include tours of historic sites in the town with expert interpretation to give the visitor an inside look at life in Nauvoo in the 1840s. In the evening, a dinner at the Hotel Nauvoo will precede a presentation by Dallin H. Oaks, entitled “Behind the Extraditions: Joseph Smith,

M-F 9-5 Sat 9-4

the Man and the Prophet.” Oaks is a member of the LDS Quorum of Twelve. The dinner will be held at the Hotel Nauvoo; reservation information will be forthcoming on josephsmithcaptured.com. The Oaks presentation will be held at the Nauvoo Historical Visitors Center. In Springfield on Sept. 24, the events include a presentation of Smith’s three habeas corpus hearings in Illinois followed by a panel discussion on the use of habeas corpus from Smith’s time to the present day. An encore presentation and discussion will occur on October 14 at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago. Tickets for the Chicago event will be forthcoming. “The preparation for these events has been meticulous, representing the efforts of scores of attorneys and judges throughout Illinois,” said Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, who serves on the committee putting together this series of programs. “Every person in Illinois should want to see this interesting part of the history of our state as well as that of a faith that took its roots right here. From Nauvoo to Springfield to Chicago, everyone who wants to be a part of this wonderful experience certainly will have a chance.” For further information, please contact John Lupton, Executive Director of the Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission at 217-670-0890 or

MoBOT hosts Terra Circus exhibit Join the Garden in welcoming the work of acclaimed photographer, Caren Alpert to the Missouri Botanical Garden September 6 through November 22 for her exhibit entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;terra cibus.â&#x20AC;? The San Francisco-based fine art and commercial photographer combines her love for photography, food and art in photos taken with an electron microscope. Alpert captures the microscopic, almost otherworldly surfaces of common foods such as Oreo cookies, shrimp, leaves and candy, turning what might normally be a scientific endeavor into fine art. Caren Alpert's Pineapple Leaf â&#x20AC;&#x153;Photographs taken with electron m i c ro s c o p e s h a v e s e i z e d m y interest because of their mystery and simultaneous familiarity.

The Arts Saint Louis Art Fair kicks off Sept. 6 in Clayton By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

ne of the biggest celebrations of visual and performing arts in the St. Louis area is fast approaching. The Saint Louis Art Fair will take place Sept. 6 through 8 in Clayton’s central business district. This three-day outdoor festival, which is produced by Cultural Festivals, showcases some of the most talented artists from around the country and beyond. In fact, the Art Fair Sourcebook named the Saint Louis Art Fair No. 4 in the nation for fine arts fairs. Don’t miss your chance to experience this outstanding display of art and culture right across the river. Now in its 20th year, the annual Saint Louis Art Fair continues to offer a wide variety of art and events that visitors of all ages will enjoy. In addition to the exhibiting artists featured, there will be handson activities for kids, musical performances across three stages and vendors from many of the city’s top restaurants. As always, the art takes center stage at the festival. This year 181 artists, including 44 taking part for the first time, will offer original artwork to view and purchase in a range of media. This includes ceramics, drawing and pastels, painting, fiber, glass, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, photography, digital art, printmaking, sculpture and wood. The festival will also highlight the work of emerging artists. The show is juried and artists must go through a rigorous selection process in order to participate. Cindy Lerick, executive director of Cultural Festivals, explains that the show’s jurors whittle down

Saint Louis Art Fair

Pictured are two different views of a previous Saint Louis Art Fair. approximately 1,400 applicants to just 150 during a three-round process. Among this year’s jurors is painter Marian Steen, who has the distinction of being the only artist to have taken part in the fair every year since it began. Steen was instrumental in the fair’s creation back in 1994. There are no quotas and jurors make their selections based on the artist’s submitted work and statement. The remaining 31 places feature artists who won awards for their work in last year’s show.

Lerick believes the enduring appeal of the Saint Louis Art Fair lies with the vision and dedication of the show’s organizers. “From the beginning the founders and the board have really stayed in tune with their mission. It’s all about the arts,” says Lerick. “We talk a lot about the arts, we try to educate the public, we try to show the new pieces and that has been something the community has really embraced.” Each year the fair commissions a commemorative print to mark

the occasion. In honor of the fair’s 20th anniversary, this year’s print features a collage made up of images from previous year’s artwork. Cultural Festivals intern Alyssa Webb designed the print as a special project during her internship. Webb, who is from Shiloh, is currently a graphic design student at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma. “She’s done a fantastic job with this image,” says Lerick. Inspiring and encouraging creativity and the arts among young people has long been a key component of the Saint Louis Art Fair’s mission. And kids who attend the festival will find plenty of fun projects to spark their imaginations at the Creative Castle. Here, kids can explore their creativity and learn more about the arts as they make fun projects they can take home with them. The Creative Castle is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Create. A Young Artist Fair is another example of how the Saint Louis Art Fair strives to develop a love of art within the community’s youth. This young artist program encourages talented young artists in their pursuit of art as a possible career. Those selected will have the opportunity to show and sell their work at the fair. If you need a break from browsing all of that amazing artwork, just head to one of three stages offering a variety of entertainment for you to kick back and enjoy. On the performing arts stage will be Lacefield Music, featuring St. Louis Cardinals’ organist Dwayne Hilton; members of the Saint Louis Flamenco Cultural Society; Dave Simon’s Kidzrock; storyteller Annette Harrison; Oh My Gosh Josh; Fanfare; the Missouri River Cloggers; Babaloo and Tribe Ayaka.

August 29, 2013

Both the Forsyth and main stages will feature a diverse lineup of local and national musical artists. This includes funk/soul band Naked Rock Fight, acoustic indie folk group Letter to Memphis, the swinging sounds of Sarah Jane and the Blue Notes, The Sheldon’s Blues and Soul Band featuring Brian Owens and the Rex Bauer Trio among others. Visitors to the show certainly won’t go hungry. Head to Brentwood Avenue, between Forsythe and Maryland, where you’ll find Pleasures of the Palate. This foodie paradise will have a selection of cultural delights on offer to tempt hungry fairgoers. This year’s participating restaurants include 360 at the Hilton Ball Park, Alexander’s at the Sheraton, Café Manhattan, Drunken fish, Hank’s Cheesecakes, Mandarin House, Naked Bacon, Rearn Thai, Rib City, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, The Cheshire, Tivanov Catering, Uptown Café and Zia’s Italian Food Truck. In the Creative Castle, kiddos can refuel with toasted ravioli, pizza or sandwiches from Imo’s Pizza and a frozen treat from Chill Frozen Yogurt.

Machu Picchu – the journey

By CLAUDIA and BILL PEROZZI Of The Edge Editor's note – Former Glen Carbon residents Bill and Claudia Perozzi are living every retiree's dream – they are traveling the world. The couple resides in California now. Here's the latest from their most recent trip. Machu Picchu, the once hidden Inca city in Peru, means different things to different people. Literally, it translates to “Old Peak” and is the same name as a nearby mountain. To some it can mean a challenge or a spiritual retreat, to some a challenge and a spiritual retreat. It is a living classroom of history, art and architecture. It is a mystery on several levels. To present day Peruvians it is a source of great pride and a sacred trust. It seemed fitting to me that the final leg of our journey to Machu Picchu, should start in the Sacred Valley. Our skilled bus driver Samuel expertly threaded our bus down narrow roads and into the small grassy courtyard of Hatun Wasi, a lovely, simple hideaway and my favorite accommodation of our whole trip. Bill and I happened to get the best room and that didn’t hurt my positive feelings about this restful and secluded spot. On our first day there, for a change of pace from climbing ruins, our guide Freddy arranged for us to take a float ride on the Urubamba River. I think the ride was supposed to be relaxing but our usually cooperative group turned it into a competition as we were divided into three boats. As we rowed the boats we could see alongside the river some of the original Inca trail that would eventually lead to Machu Picchu. I was grateful we didn’t have to hike the trail. After a very good night’s rest and a relatively leisurely start to our next day, we rode our bus into the town of Urubamba. We transferred to taxi like tuk-tuks which took us to the home and

The grounds with flowers and foliage set off the interesting building of adobe and tile which set off the artist’s remarkable work. His iconic large ceramic sculptures were featured

but also on display were smaller ceramics produced by artisans working with him. This highly regarded artist actually took time to meet us in his studio and that was a real highlight for all of us. After lunch we rode our bus to the

train station in Ollantaytambo. We boarded the train with many others for an hour and a half ride into the town of Agua Caliente. Along the way we could see the Inca Trail again and we even saw a few hikers on it. The scenery seemed to have it

all: towering mountains against blue skies, crystal blue water streaming through green valleys. The weather was perfect. Upon our arrival in Agua Caliente, our bags were taken for us to our hotel and we were boarded onto a local bus for a ride that belonged in an amusement park. The bus followed a narrow road with frequent hairpin turns. Somehow the drivers coming back down the road avoided colliding with us, but just barely. We regrouped at the entrance where we were told to use the restrooms because none would be available inside the site. Peruvians preserve the whole site in pristine, natural condition and expect all visitors, as many as three thousand a day, to respect it as they do. We walked in with llamas. They shared the path with us but otherwise kept to their jobs as assistant ground groomers. And at last we saw the famous stone walls of Machu Picchu. This site is extraordinary because it was never found by the Spanish conquistadors and so was never torn down. It exists today much as it did over five centuries ago. Besides being so well preserved, Machu Picchu is also exceptional for its amazing location. It sits on a high ridge which is surrounded by higher mountains. The Urubamba River flows around the base of the ridge. It is not only the city itself but also the scenery of greenery surrounded by dark towering mountains that makes this site so magnificent.

Journey Continued from Page 10 Freddy had wisely brought us here in the afternoon when the crowds had started to thin out. First he led us to a perfect overlook spot where we could take photos and photos of this model like city perfectly laid out to fit its space. We were really finally here and the view of this green grass carpeted city almost took our collective breath away. Look down, there is the agricultural section with its rows and rows of terraces. Machu Picchu was an agrarian society with great emphasis on growing seasons. Water flowed from subterranean sources for irrigation and into fountains for the inhabitants. Look up, there is the guardhouse on the hill and there are the barracks like buildings for the guards. We could hardly wait to walk among them. We had been joined by Eddie, another guide, who helped make sure that we all got to see all the features. He and Freddy led us through an entrance into rooms of remarkable masonry. Smooth stones were carved to fit tightly together as mortar was rarely used. Doorways and windows constructed in trapezoidal shape (top narrower than base) repeated the theme of pyramids. Windows were aligned to best catch sunlight at the solstices. The rooms were beautifully crafted but smaller than I had expected. Even the Torreon or Sun Temple, which stood out for its beautifully rounded stone wall, was smaller than I had thought it would be. But as we walked through the temple, it seemed just right as it fit over a huge horizontal stone. Under the temple we saw stone carved in the shape of a condor, an Inca symbol of afterlife, and appropriately it was where remains had been excavated. Scampering among the ruins we saw furry chinchillas. Now only animals live in this city once inhabited by Incas. Why the Incas left Machu Picchu remains a mystery. They could have left gradually or all at once; they could have contracted disease or they could have left in anticipation of Spaniards. The purposes of the buildings and even the overall purpose of the city are open to speculation and so remain a mystery. Our group had stayed closely together as we climbed among the buildings and rooms. We reached a plateau together and as we looked out toward the mountains, we saw a full rainbow. This was the most awesome moment for me. To me it felt like we were all in the right place, at the right time to see Machu Picchu wrapped up and tied in a rainbow. That evening when we returned to Agua Caliente, which looks like an alpine ski village, we were all in a great mood. For dinner, delicious trout was served while a small local band played Peruvian music. We laughed and reveled in a special shared experience. But too soon, it was time to head for bed and get ready for the next day. Up at dawn, those of us who wanted to climb to the Sun Gate, rode the bus back into the park with Eddie as our guide. We could see the line of the upward sloping trail, about two miles to the top, to the entrance from the Inca Trail. Narrow in places and along a steep, thousand foot drop off,

Claudia and Bill Perozzi/The Edge

Above, Claudia and Bill's first look at Machu Picchu. Below, terraces used to support city, grow crops and provide drainage for heavy, frequent rains. The Urubamba River runs thousands of feet below the trail made us watch our steps. The weather had changed to foggy with intermittent drizzle which added to the challenge of the climb as stones in the path became slippery. First we hiked in the clouds but slowly we rose above them. Brief clearings in the clouds showed us the ridge below with the city laid out in its distinctive patterns. At the half way point, we rested and some dropped out of the hike. Six of us trudged on with Eddie who set a pace we all could handle. Eventually we reached the Sun Gate, a low wall standing as a sentry to the city nestled in the mountains below.

It was still cloudy when we arrived so at first we could see little. Finally the clouds parted long enough to give us one of the classic views of Machu Picchu. Now we could see the greystone outlines of the city standing on the green ground and all in the foreground of the magnificent mound of a mountain, Huayna Picchu. Spectacular! This was the vantage point Hiram Bingham had about a hundred years ago when he rediscovered Machu Picchu. Local farmers knew about the site and the young son of a farmer led Bingham to these ruins of stones covered with centuries of green

overgrowth. Bingham realized the importance of this finding and with the resources of National Geographic magazine, he was the first to publicize this exceptional Inca city. Maybe to some extent each person who comes to Machu Picchu feels like an explorer and a discoverer. This site, teaming with history and mystery, is a living presence and connects with the living today. Ponder the past but pay attention to the present while walking on the slippery stones back down the slope. By the time we reached the buses to take us back into town, the drizzle had become rain. The

August 29, 2013

road was muddy, the windshield on the bus kept fogging up and the wipers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. None of these factors caused the driver to slow down as he sped through one hairpin turn after another. Even Bill agreed that the ride back was terrifying, definitely the most scary of the whole trip, maybe of any trip. Meeting the challenges of the second day was satisfying, but for me the first day was much more meaningful because it was shared with the whole group. Machu Picchu is a joy, a challenge, a living learning experience, an example of manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing achievement. Machu Picchu means many things.

Religion Arkansas church reaches out to cowboys EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) — Wearing Wranglers, boots and topping it off with a Stetson, the Calvary Trail Cowboy Church membership is easily differentiated from the typical nattily-clad congregation. But sartorial preferences aren't the only feature conspicuous to the church. Pastor Donny Hargett eschews the baptismal font for a stock tank and sermonizes inside a riding arena or on a horse trail at the Beech Springs Baptist Camp. The rise of cowboy churches has intertwined unusual bedfellows, connecting religion with Western heritage to reach those among the faithful who chafe against the formality and pomp of a conventional Sunday service. The niche worship services began in Texas more than 30 years ago and have since spread to parts north. Hargett said 19 such churches operate under the auspices of the state Southern Baptist Association in Arkansas, including the Old Rugged Cross Cowboy Church in Magnolia. The Calvary Trail Church is a mission of the First Baptist Church of Camden. "Churches have always sought target groups," said Hargett, who's also the camp director at Beech Springs Camp for the

Liberty Baptist Association. "It may be white collar, blue collar, and a lot of churches have athletes or doctors," he told the El Dorado News-Times (http://bit.ly/13brj9S). "We want to appeal to ranchers, cowboys, loggers or folks who like to live in the country or those who the Western heritage lifestyle just appeals to. We saw it as an opportunity to hit what we aim at every time. We're aiming at cowboys, and we found them." Hargett said using horses to minister to people is a prominent feature of the church. Monthly trail rides plant the seeds of spirituality that he said can eventually mature into a profound devotion, noting God's grace can be received just as readily on the saddle as in a pew. "We can get folks who won't come to church to ride with us," Hargett said. "It's a great platform of friendship to teach them about Christ. We had a little girl on the trail get saved sitting on a horse. It's a way to witness to them in a calm, peaceful environment. "They'll come back the next Sunday when we don't ride, and they get interested. It's kind of a little different flavor." Those unaccustomed to the saddle take

a 30-minute ride on a secluded trail that wends through the Ouachita River bottoms near the Louann/Smackover area. If the route were any longer, sore haunches and surliness would ensue, Hargett said. "If you put someone on a horse for too long, and they haven't ridden in a while, they won't want to talk to you the next day because they'll be so saddle sore and mad." Seasoned riders go for more than an hour on a longer trail, where a hay wagon situated at the halfway point waits in relief. There they can hand off their mount to another rider or continue down the trail. "It's an environment where you don't have to worry about dogs and cars," he said, adding that the church has 10 kidfriendly horses and a miniature horse for smaller children to ride around the arena. "It's a real pleasurable, enjoyable ride. We do it the fourth Sunday of every month." Hargett said his horsemanship is a product of his youth. Growing up on a ranch outside El Dorado on the Strong H i g h w a y, h e w a s t a s k e d b y h i s d a d with maintaining the property's fences. Forbidden from riding an ATV by his safety-conscious dad, Hargett plied the fence line on horseback.

"The normal thing was to ride the fence once a week," he said. "After a storm, you'd go the next day to make sure the fence stayed up. Three wheelers weren't safe, and my daddy wouldn't let me ride one, so he made me ride a quarter horse." Hargett said 95 people participated in the most recent trail ride, the best attended of the summer. The church is still in its infancy, having delivered its first Sunday service last November. It aspires to garner enough support to become autonomous from its Camden parent by the end of the year. The cowboy church is a natural progression in South Arkansas, Hargett said, alluding to the influence of Western heritage in the mascots of Smackover High (Buckaroos) and South Arkansas University (Muleriders). While a Western theme informs the church, donning cowboy garb isn't a requirement. The more fashion conscious are also welcome to worship at the Beech Springs Camp. "They come dressed in cowboy hats, jeans and sometimes overalls," he said. "That's how we dress, but we wouldn't be opposed to someone coming in a suit and tie. It just hasn't happened yet."

Religion briefs Progressive Baptist says Detroit deserves more aid from state DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit pastor who’s hosting thousands of members of the Progressive National Baptist Convention this week says his bankrupt city deserves help from the state of Michigan’s rainy day fund. The Rev. James Perkins of Detroit’s Greater Christ Baptist Church is first vice president of the AfricanAmerican denomination. He said the Progressive Baptists who are gathered in Detroit this week will pray for the city, but also will denounce what he considers the injustice of state officials who control a rainy day fund estimated to be worth $500 million. Perkins said the denomination also is outraged at the Supreme Court for overturning part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He called that “a slap in the face to the legacy and memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was a member of this denomination.” But he believes that God will use adversity to unite and energize believers.

Methodist scholar to head State Department faith-based office WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry has chosen a United Methodist scholar to head a new State Department Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives. The department says Shaun Casey, a professor of Christian E t h i c s a t We s l e y T h e o l o g i c a l Seminary in Washington, will serve as special advisor to Kerry on religious issues. Two weeks ago, Kerry told Muslims at a State Department Ramadan dinner that the new office will “try to increase our engagement with faith communities” around the world. The department says that outreach will seek to advance “development objectives” and

supplement efforts to promote international religious freedom. The seminary’s website shows Casey’s research interests include the ethics of war and peace and the role of the Church in fighting global poverty.

Sikh temple attack united victim’s son, ex-racist OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) — Six weeks after a white supremacist gunned down Pardeep Kaleka’s (kah-LEE’-kahz) father and five others at a Sikh temple last year, Kaleka was skeptical when a former skinhead reached out and invited him to dinner.

But Kaleka accepted, and he’s glad he did. Since then, the grieving son and repentant racist have formed an unlikely alliance, teaming up to preach a message of peace throughout Milwaukee. In fact, they’ve grown so close that they got matching tattoos on their palms — the numbers 8-5-12, the date the gunman opened fire at a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple before killing himself minutes later. It wasn’t easy for Kaleka to meet Arno Michaelis, a 42-yearold who admits his involvement in white-power movement might have helped influence the shooter. But Kaleka also saw the good work Michaelis has done since he quit the racist movement in the mid-1990s. Kaleka wanted his father’s death

to be a catalyst for peace, and he saw in Michaelis a partner whose story could reinforce the message that it’s possible to turn hatred into love.

Plaintiff withdraws appeal in Vatican-abuse case PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A former Oregon man who said he was sexually abused by a pedophile priest nearly 50 years ago has withdrawn his appeal of a ruling that said the Vatican did not employ

the priest and is not liable for damages. Lawyer Jeff Anderson named the Vatican as a defendant in the 2002 lawsuit he filed on behalf of the man identified as John Doe. Anderson says his client still believes “all roads lead to Rome” but has grown weary of the long legal battle. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman determined last year that the Vatican was not involved in the priest’s transfers from Ireland to Chicago to Portland. The Vatican’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lena, says the case was “way over the top” and should have never been filed.

"Blue Jasmine"

Diane Keaton. Mia Farrow. Dianne Wiest. Scarlett Johansson. Penelope Cruz. To the long list of actresses who’ve thrived in Woody Allen films, it’s now time to add Cate Blanchett. And in big, capital letters, because her spectacularly wrenching performance in Allen’s latest, “Blue Jasmine,” lives up to every bit of hype you may have heard. As his fans well know, Allen, 77, keeps up the incredible pace of about a film a year, and had lately been focusing on frothy comedic fare — the whimsical hit “Midnight in Paris,” and the less successful “From Rome with Love.” “Blue Jasmine,” surely one of his meatiest films in years, finds him in different territory, both geographically — we’re back on U.S. shores — and emotionally, addressing serious issues like the Bernard Madoff financial scandal and its social ramifications. It’s also a fascinating character study of a woman trying to keep her head above water, financially and mentally, and as such, it’s a clear homage to Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” and his tragically unstable Blanche DuBois. Some might quibble with how much Allen borrows, thematically, from that play. But in such expert and loving hands, do we really care? And who better than Blanchett, who played such a searing Blanche onstage several years ago, to bring a 21st-century version of the character to life on the big screen? Blanche, as reimagined here by Allen, is Jasmine, an upper-crust Manhattan socialite whose life has gone seriously wrong. Jasmine had been living, you see, on Park Avenue — and shopping on Madison — as the pampered wife of high-flying investment broker Hal (Alec Baldwin, perfect in this smarmy, Madoff-inspired role.) RATED: PG-13 for “mature thematic material, language and sexual content.” RUNING TIME:: 98 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

“The Spectacular Now”

“Live in the moment.” It’s a pat piece of advice we all get at some point in our lives, usually when we’re being anxious or obsessive about something we can’t control. But living in the moment can be overrated — especially when everyone else is suddenly looking to the future. That’s the predicament addressed in “The Spectacular Now,” a pure gem of a teen romance graced with sparkling acting by its young leads, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, as high-school seniors falling awkwardly in love. Teller, the lesser known of these two young stars, is a revelation as Sutter Keely, a witty, fast-talking, happy-go-lucky guy who oozes a sweet and cocky charm. Always ready with a quip or a glib excuse, he sounds something like a younger Vince Vaughn. (Others may recall John Cusack in his teen-flick days.) Sutter doesn’t work too hard in school, but he’s OK with that. “This is our time,” he says happily at one point. “Live in the now.” The spectacular now. We first meet Sutter just as he’s been dumped by his hot girlfriend, Cassidy. As usual, he resorts to self-medicating with alcohol. He ends up passed out on a lawn, and when he wakes, he’s looking into Aimee’s eyes. Aimee, brought to life in a stunningly fresh, unaffected performance by Woodley, is everything Sutter isn’t. She’s studious, thoughtful, hard-working, bashful — definitively NOT a cool kid. So when Sutter starts hanging with her, even asking her to the prom, we’re instantly worried. We know he’s gonna drop her, and soon. But this is where the film, directed with a sure and sensitive touch by James Ponsoldt, breaks refreshingly with teen-romance formula. Every time we think Sutter, who’s still pining a bit for sexy Cassidy, is going to turn into the cad we think he is, he surprises us. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America

"We're the Millers"

“We’re the Millers” is an identity comedy with identity issues. Jason Sudeikis plays a pot dealer who, as a disguise for smuggling a huge shipment of weed, forms a fake family to drive an RV across the Mexico border. He gathers local stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), surly homeless teenager Casey (Emma Roberts) and his young, naive neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter). The whole concept has two motives: to lampoon the idea of the traditional all-American family, and as an excuse to get Aniston to take off her clothes. Both are worthy endeavors, but everything in “We’re the Millers” feels forced — a hodgepodge of comedic rhythms made to lurch from one crude gag to another. Despite obvious comedic talents, Sudeikis and Aniston have each had difficulty finding their place in the movies, and neither really fit their parts: small-time Denver pot dealer (dispatched for the pick-up by Ed Helms’ polite but ruthless drug lord) and bitter stripper with a heart of gold, respectively. The concealed identity shtick would have been more fruitful if the characters’ personalities weren’t just as thin as their charade. But with such stereotype underpinnings, “We’re the Millers” remains the broadest of caricatures. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude sexual content, passive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity. RUNING TIME: 110 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Elysium"

Of all the movie villains we’ve met lately, few are stranger than Delacourt, Jodie Foster ’s evil, white-blonde, power-suited and power-hungry defense official in “Elysium,” the much-awaited but ultimately somewhat disappointing new film from director Neill Blomkamp. From her command post on a ritzy space station high up above 22nd-century Earth, a demitasse of espresso at her side, Delacourt doles out orders in a foreign but unrecognizable accent. “Send them to deportation!” she barks, when “undocumented” ships breach her borders. “Get them off this habitat!” Blomkamp, whose sci-fi parable “District 9” came out of nowhere four years ago to earn a best-picture Oscar nod, is crystal clear in his intentions here. He’s making obvious statements about immigration and universal health care, and whether the frequent references bother you or not will greatly influence how much you enjoy the film. One thing you can’t deny, though, is its visual beauty, and, as in “District 9,” his masterful use of special effects. It’s not for nothing that Blomkamp, at the tender age of 33, has been called a visionary artist of the genre. His “Elysium” — that space station in the sky, looking a lot like present-day Easthampton — is an enormous wheel, on the rim of which its wealthy residents, having left the teeming and polluted Earth, inhabit pristine white homes with bright green manicured lawns. Brilliant sunlight dapples the blue waters of their swimming pools. Classical music and clinking glasses echo in the background. For some reason, people seem to speak French. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong bloody violence and language throughout.” RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Lee Daniels’ The Butler”

“You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve.” Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.” But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything. And that means that over more than three decades on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only of the White House under seven presidents, but of the long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century America. Much has been said about this movie’s potential future as an Oscar powerhouse. The speculation is natural — especially given its star-studded cast — but it takes away from the more important discussion of its simpler virtues, as an absorbing film that has the potential to teach a new generation (and remind an older one) about these crucial events. The story is inspired by a Washington Post profile of Eugene Allen, a White House butler from 1952 to 1986. Some anecdotes remain, but much is different. Most importantly, Daniels and screenwriter Danny Strong create a father-son dynamic between Gaines and a rebellious older son, Louis (a terrific David Oyelowo) that serves as a backdrop against which the civil rights struggle can play out — through the eyes of black characters, not white ones, for a refreshing change. This is done most strikingly in a key montage in which Cecil and his fellow White House workers set up an elegant state dinner, china and crystal and all, while down South, Louis is protesting at a segregated lunch counter, leading to a harrowing confrontation. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.” RUNNING TIME: 132 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"The World's End"

Sci-fi movies, we all know, create unlikely heroes, and this summer’s no exception. Remember Brad Pitt as a U.N. inspector in “World War Z”? He just wanted to hang at home with his family, but he had to save the world from raging zombies. And Matt Damon in “Elysium”? He played a reformed car thief who just wanted to heal himself — and suddenly, he needed to rescue the planet. But Simon Pegg in “The World’s End,” the latest work of brilliant inanity from director Edgar Wright, takes this whole reluctant-savior-of-humanity thing to a new plane. Twenty years after high school, Pegg’s scruffy, unshaven, never-gonnagrow-up, substance-abusing Gary can’t hold down a job. His idea of a relationship is a quick tryst in the loo of a pub. This is a guy who’s gonna save us — or at least, parts of suburban England — from an alien invasion? Lord help us. Of course, if you’re a fan of Pegg’s earlier two films with Wright, the 2004 “Shaun of the Dead” and the 2007 “Hot Fuzz,” you’ll know that such plot absurdities are not only par for the course, but crucial to the delightful sensibilities of this genre-twisting oeuvre. Wright has called this movie the last in a trilogy, and what unites the three is that each is a sendup — though a loving one — of a genre: “Shaun” is a zombie film, “Hot Fuzz” a buddy cop movie, and “The World’s End” one of those bittersweet coming-home films that show how difficult it is to really, well, go home. Because it’s never the same. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “pervasive language including sexual references.” RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

Associated Press

This undated publicity photo released by the Sundance Institute shows Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in the Open Roads Films movie, "Jobs."

"Jobs" more about Apple than the man By SANDY COHEN Associated Press A better title for this film might have been “The History of Apple Computers.” “Jobs” aims to be the first biopic about tech giant Steve Jobs (Sony’s Aaron Sorkin project is next), but instead of offering insight into the man, it’s a chronology of Apple and the advent of personal computers. Ashton Kutcher plays Jobs convincingly enough. The “Two and a Half Men” star looks uncannily like the Apple co-founder, right down to the lumbering gait, and there’s no trace of Kutcher’s kooky-character past here. But with a script by first-time screenwriter

Matt Whitely that focuses more on corporate events than characters, there’s no chance to look deeper into the man behind the Mac. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern (“Swing Vote”), “Jobs” opens with the Apple chief introducing the first iPod in 2001. Then it jumps back almost 30 years, when Jobs was a scruffy, barefoot, Reed College dropout on campus just for kicks. (James Woods appears briefly as a concerned school administrator, but is never seen again.) Jobs hallucinates in a field, travels to India, and suddenly it’s 1976, and he’s struggling in his job at Atari. Prone to outbursts and, apparently, body odor, he turns to his friend, Steve “Woz” Wozniak (Josh Gad), for help. Jobs discovers a computer prototype Woz built, and a

few months later, Apple Computers is born. Gad is the heart of the film. Though his character, like the others, is weakly developed, Gad’s vulnerability as Wozniak makes him the most relatable. There’s also heart in the soundtrack, a romp through the 1960s and 70s that includes songs by Cat Stevens, Joe Walsh and Bob Dylan. Jobs, on the other hand, could be a real jerk. He dismisses his pregnant girlfriend (Ahna O’Reilly) and denies paternity of their daughter. He withholds stock benefits from founding members of his team. If a colleague doesn’t share his vision, he fires them on the spot. Loudly. The one scene where Jobs cries isn’t enough to make you like the guy.

After he and Woz make a deal with investor Mike Markkula (Durmot Mulroney), the film spends a lot of time at Apple headquarters, where Jobs is a hot-tempered perfectionist. His insistence on quality and innovation above all doesn’t sit well with board director Arthur Rock (a sadly bland J.K. Simmons), who unites with newly appointed CEO John Sculley (Matthew Modine) to remove the company co-founder from his post. The decade the film skips — when an ousted Jobs created his software company NeXT, which he eventually sold to Apple — seems like a lost chapter that could have illuminated it subject. How does such a driven man survive after being driven out?

"Lee Daniels' The Butler" gets it right By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I'll probably refer to "Lee Daniels' The Butler" a couple of times in this review as The Butler. I hope I won't get sued by Warner Bros. They seem to be pretty gung-ho these days on keeping that title all to themselves. I'm just not sure that I feel comfortable giving Mr. Daniels this much credit so early in his directorial career. This is only his fourth feature to be released for crying out loud. "Precious" got a lot of (rightful) attention, but I think we need an established track record before we start touting anyone outright. Fortunately, and largely thanks to ambitious casting, The Butler is exactly the film to keep the train chugging in the right direction. I mean no disrespect when I refer

to this film as a Forrest Gump of the African-American perspective. That movie has long been my favorite and such praise of association is not lightly given. Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) is the titular butler, but his story is far more broad than that. He came to domestic service as a fugitive of a brutal cotton plantation where his father (David Banner) was gunned down by the landowner (Alex Pettyfer) after the young man had raped Cecil's mother (an unglam Mariah Carey), leaving her in a catatonic state. Care for the boy fell to an old woman (Vanessa Redgrave) who teaches Cecil to read and wait on the whites that lord themselves over the workers in the fields. When Gaines breaks away, he's taken in by a genteel shop owner (Clarence Williams III). This experience

leads Cecil to Washington, D.C. where he meets his wife, Gloria (Oprah Winfrey), and sets him up in a winning hotel as, again, a butler. His performance nets him a call from the White House and Mr. Gaines life takes on an amazing slant when he's asked to join the ranks of the household staff for the President. Gaines fictionalized story is based entirely on the life of Eugene Allen, the now deceased Head Butler of the White House who served eight Commanders-inChief, everyone from Eisenhower (Robin Williams) through Reagan (Alan Rickman). Cecil's life is privy to many of the great actions that shaped the second half of the 20th Century. He tries to bring comfort to Mrs. Kennedy (Minka Kelly) on the day JFK (James Marsden) is assassinated.

He catches the notoriously crude LBJ's (Liev Schreiber) ear about civil and voting rights concerns. He even uses the affection Nancy Reagan (Jane Fonda) shows him to leverage equal pay and opportunity rights for the black White House employees. He accomplishes this all while remaining mostly invisible to his employers. L i k e w i s e t o h i s ro l e , C e c i l fails to have the respect of the oft-drinking Gloria or their two sons, the affable Charlie (Elijah Kelley) and the hateful Louis (David Oyelowo). Louis has long harbored feelings of disrespect t o w a rd h i s f a t h e r, a m a n h e feels is supporting his family by continuing to be put down as a second class citizen. What Louis doesn't always appreciate though is that while he's marching in

August 29, 2013

Selma, sitting-in at lunch counters, and joining the Freedom Riders, Cecil is using his vantage point f ro m w i t h i n t h e p a n t h e o n o f policy-making to keep an eye on his boy. The tale is largely rooted in reality. Allen's own son was a political activist and his wife a boisterous member of the Black Panthers. The Butler is worked from a fine screenplay by ItScripter Danny Strong (yes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Jonathan) and its resounding message of Obama-era race relations makes this story timeless and topical and quite worth the experience. "Lee Daniels' The Butler" runs 143 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking. I give this film three stars out of four.

Music

Harry Connick Jr. to appear at the Fox Theatre By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge Tickets are now on sale for a performance by the multi-talented Harry Connick Jr. when he comes to St. Louis this fall. The Grammy awardwinning singer, composer and actor will give a one night only performance at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. Harry Connick Jr. got an early introduction to music growing up in the jazz-infused city of New Orleans. He burst onto the music scene when he featured on the soundtrack to the hit 1989 film “When Harry Met Sally.” The film not only made Connick Jr. a household name, but it also gave him his first experience performing with a big band. It was a match made in music heaven and led Connick Jr. to form his own big band. He also quickly established himself as a talented actor securing lead roles in the films “Hope Floats” with Sandra Bullock, “Copycat” with Sigourney Weaver, “Memphis Belle,” “P.S. I Love You” with Hillary Swank and “New in Town” with Renee Zellweger to name just a few. But always there is the music. Over the past two decades Connick Jr. has continued to show his skills as a singer, songwriter, composer, jazz pianist and bandleader. He has released numerous hit albums that include a wide range of styles from romantic standards to holiday classics and also his own original compositions. He also shared his talents with Broadway when he worked as the composer and lyricist for the musical “Thou Shalt Not,” which garnered him a Tony nomination. The upcoming Fox performance will see Harry Connick, Jr. and his band perform in support of his new album, “Every Man Should Know.” This album includes a collection of 12 original songs that touch on some of Connick Jr.’s deepest feelings about life and love. “No rules, no limits,” is how Connick describes the songs in his liner notes for the new collection. “I don’t recall ever reaching quite as deeply – or confidently – into my inhibition pool.” Press information about the album states: “The range of the album’s songs is vast, touching upon love and loss, celebration and sorrow, tragedy and hope. With ‘Every Man Should Know,’ Harry Connick, Jr. triumphs once again, with a depth of feeling that signals another milestone for one of the music world’s most multi-faceted artists.” Critics have been quick to agree with People Magazine calling it “impressive,” and the Boston Globe saying the album features “his most thoughtful and personal songs to date” and says it’s “an album that every Harry Connick Jr fan should own.” The Chicago Tribune said, “Harry Connick Jr achieves a personal best” about his summer concert in Chicago. Away from the spotlight, Connick Jr. has also dedicated himself to helping rebuild his hometown of New Orleans following the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. He formed the organization Musicians Village along with his friend Branford Marsalis. The organization provides homes for displaced residents, according to information at www.harryconnickjr.com. Tickets are now on sale for Harry Connick Jr.’s performance at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. Tickets start at $49.50 can be purchased at the Fox Box Office, online at metrotix.com or by calling (314) 534-1111.

Dining Delights

You Gotta' Eat Pagliai's dishes out the best pizza in a college town By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge

y annual trip to Charleston in May to cover the Edwardsville Tiger boys' track team at the state meet inside Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Stadium left me looking for the perfect place to grab dinner after a long day.

popped from our heads – the thing was mammoth. It was heaping with sausage and mushrooms and a ton of cheese. I was ready to dig in. Within the first bite it was obvious why Pagliai's is such a Charleston tradition. It was delicious. It's hard to explain, but a Pagliai's pizza has a taste of home

After talking to the Intelligencer's managing editor Bill Tucker, a graduate of Eastern Illinois University, I was urged to try Pagliai's Pizza, a Charleston tradition since 1964. I wasn't disappointed. Pagliai's (pronounced Polly-eyes) is located at 1600 Lincoln Ave., not far from the Eastern Illinois campus. On my visit I had Intelligencer sports intern Ava Roesslein with me and we realized quickly the popularity of Pagliai's by the amount of patrons waiting on one of these pies. It was a very spacious dining area with large and comfortable booths and a great family atmosphere with friendly service. Only one question remained; How good is the pizza? When the menu arrived, it was pretty simple – a few pasta selections, some appetizers and the pizza, of course. Ava and I decided to order a 14-inch pan pizza with sausage and mushrooms. Other toppings available were: pepperoni, green pepper, onion, pineapple, beef, black and green olives, ham, anchovies, jalapenós, tomatoes, shrimp and bacon. When our order arrived our eyes about

cooking – not something you would find at a restaurant but right in mom's kitchen. The toppings were plump and very fresh, especially the sausage. Ava and I both really enjoyed the crust. It kind of had a smokey flavor to it and was very fresh tasting, too. To top it all it was very filling. Even

with both of us attacking this monster and passing on an appetizer, it was more than enough. I had to ask for a box to take home leftovers. I noticed that most patrons were going with Pagliai's all-star, the pizza, but there were some other options available for anyone who decided to go a different route. On the pasta menu there were spaghetti and tortellini options. You can get spaghetti and garlic bread, or you can order the spaghetti dinner which also includes a salad. Pagliai's even has half pound orders of spaghetti and tortellini for takeout, reasonably priced at $8.50 and $12.60 respectively. Pagliai's keeps its appetizer menu simple, too. The cheese styx are the go-to appetizer according to the staff and patrons on online reviews; it is accompanied with either a garlic sauce or marinara sauce. There is also a poor boy sandwich, a tossed salad and garlic bread available. Pagliai's does offer some specialty pizzas also. The most original on the menu is the Pancho Villa's Pie which comes with refried beans, jalapenós, onions, beef and black olives. While the menu may be paltry, it is reasonably priced and it's well worth the visit. For Ava and I, the meal only cost slightly more than $20. It’s a treat for a town full of college kids who are strapped for cash. I’d say Charleston truly has a treasure on its hand with Pagliai's Pizza, so if you're in town or just passing through and you gotta eat, check it out. I know I will again the next chance I get.

Kennedy to appear with SLSO Due to a scheduling conflict, soprano Christine Brewer will not be performing with the St. Louis Symphony May 9-11, 2014. The long-time Lebanon, Illinois resident and world-renowned vocalist will instead be in Chicago. The concerts including Les Illuminations will not be re p ro g r a m m e d ; t e n o r A n d re w K e n n e d y i s n o w s c h e d u l e d t o perform the piece with the St. Louis Symphony. Kennedy last performed with the St. Louis Symphony in October of 2010, when he sang Brittenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes in this business, I wish I could be in two places at once, and it happened to me for the 2013/14 season,â&#x20AC;? says Brewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was scheduled to sing Britten's Les Illuminations with the St. Louis Symphony and David Robertson, but a conflicting offer came to me from the Lyric Opera of Chicago to sing the role of the Mother Abbess in a production of The Sound of Music," Kennedy said. "Having sung that role as a student at Shawnee High School in Wolf Lake, Illinois and directed the show when I taught music i n M a r i s s a , I l l i n o i s , I h a v e a d e e p c o n n e c t i o n t o t h e ro l e o f that c l a s s i c p i e c e . I w a s t o r n , a s I n e v e r dreamed I'd actually have another chance to sing the role of the Mother Abbess, but David Robertson gratefully understood and supported taking the opportunity. I am extremely sad not to be singing with my hometown orchestra this coming season. I will miss working with David and all of my friends in the Orchestra, but I hope we will have many other seasons to work together!â&#x20AC;?
