People Help for a child who stutters All children experience some period of disrupted speech

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge As parents, we all want the best for our children. From the moment we first lay eyes on that tiny, gasping bundle of joy we vow to do whatever it takes to protect them, nurture them and give them the best possible life that we can.

But sometimes things happen that are out of our control.

Parents who realize that their child has a stutter may at first blame themselves or worry about their child’s future. How could this have happened? She’s always been a good talker before. Will this last forever? What can I do to help?

The first thing to remember is that all children, at some point, go through a period of disrupted speech. Speech pathologists define this pattern of halted, repeated or disrupted speech sounds as “disfluency,” and it is perfectly normal in children who are still learning how to speak.

“Typically you tend to see some of these disfluencies come about between a year-and-a-half and five.

But a lot of times you see it between 2 and 3 because that’s when the child is really undergoing a lot of language explosion and speech development. They comprehend more and they want to say more, and it’s all trying to catch up with their ability to say it,” says Dr. James Panico, associate professor in the Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders at SIUE. Panico, who specializes in fluency disorders, says that most children go through this disfluent period because they are trying to figure out how to use language in new ways while at the same time also figuring out how to put all of

For The Edge

Above, Stuttering Foundation President Jane Fraser, right, with actor Colin Firth, who played stutterer King George VI in the Academy Award-winning film "The King's Speech." Stuttering is common among toddlers and preschoolers who are still learning the mechanics of speech as pictured below. the right sounds together, the right movements and the coordination that is required to control everything. It is a difficult task to ask of any toddler or preschooler and becomes even more difficult when the child is tired, excited or stressed in some way.

“Those are conditions that tend to exacerbate the stuttering. When they’re really excited and they want to tell you something that they did at school or when they’re in a situation where they’re talking about something that is stressful to them, you tend to see an increase in the

amount of disfluencies,” says Panico.

Another thing to remember is that stuttering has no link whatsoever with intelligence. In fact, many of the greatest leaders, scientists and entertainers in history were stutterers. Famous stutterers include Moses, Sir Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill, King George VI and actor James Earl Jones to name just a few.

While there is no way to predict whether or not your child will develop a true stutter, Panico says there are certain risk factors associated with stuttering. This includes a family history of stuttering

(research show approximately 60 percent of those who stutter have a family member who also stutters), gender (boys are four times more likely to stutter than girls), age of onset particularly in children over age 3-and-a-half, time since the onset of the child’s stutter (between six to 12 months or longer) and any other speech-language concerns.

So what can you do if you suspect your child has a stutter?

First, make an appointment to have your child assessed by a certified speech-language pathologist either at your child’s school or you can contact SIUE’s Speech Language and Hearing Clinic. Either way, it’s always a good idea to seek advice from a professional first who will be able to recognize the signs of a true stutter from normal speech disfluencies in a child.

That said, if you believe your child is struggling with speaking, there are a number of things you can do to help at home, beginning with becoming more informed. The Stuttering Foundation is a national non-profit organization that has been helping people who stutter since 1947. A wealth of information can be found on its website at www. stutteringhelp.org.

Here are few tips from the Stuttering Foundation on ways parents can help their children who stutter. According to information from the foundation, experts agree that most children who stutter benefit from taking time to speak at a rate that promotes fluency. These guidelines represent a number of ways that adults around that child can help promote the child’s fluency.

1. Reduce the pace. Speak with your child in an unhurried way, pausing frequently. Wait a few seconds after your child finishes before you begin to speak. Your own easy relaxed speech will be

September 5, 2013

far more effective than any advice such as “slow down” or “try it again slowly”. For some children, it is also helpful to introduce a more relaxed pace of life for awhile.

2. Full listening. Try to increase those times that you give your child your undivided attention and are really listening. This does not mean dropping everything every time she speaks.

3. Asking questions. Asking questions is a normal part of life – but try to resist asking one after the other. Sometimes it is more helpful to comment on what your child has said and wait.

4. Turn taking. Help all members of the family take turns talking and listening. Children find it much easier to talk when there are fewer interruptions.

5. Building confidence. Use descriptive praise to build confidence. An example would be “I like the way you picked up your toys. You’re so helpful,” instead of “that’s great.” Praise strengths unrelated to talking as well such as athletic skills, being organized, independent, or careful.

6. Special times. Set aside a few minutes at a regular time each day when you can give your undivided attention to your child.

This quiet calm time – no TV, iPad or phones - can be a confidence builder for young children. As little as five minutes a day can make a difference.

7. Normal rules apply. Discipline the child who stutters just as you do your other children and just as you would if he didn’t stutter.

For more information about stuttering and ways you can help your child, visit The Stuttering Foundation’s website at www. stutteringhelp.org or contact the Speech Language and Hearing Clinic at SIUE at 650-5623.

People People planner 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 “terra cibus.�

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 “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. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way. The closer the lens got, the more I saw food - and consumers of food - as part of a larger ecosystem,� stated Alpert.

The exhibit assists in bringing attention to the International Year of Food and the Garden’s “Foodology: Dig In� theme for 2013.

The “terra cibus� exhibit will be shown in Monsanto Hall of the Ridgway Center and is included with Missouri Botanical Garden admission of $8 for adults and free for children ages 12 and under.

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 f ro m t h e t y p i c a l n a t t i l y - c l a d 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

Religion briefs Methodist scholar to head State Department faith-based office WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — 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.

Tw o w e e k s a g o , K e r r y t o l d 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.

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 Highway, he was tasked by his dad 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."

Welcome Pastor Jordan Dollar We are pleased to announce Jordan Dollar as Pastor

and Spiritual Leader of ESIC Baptist Church. He earned his Masters of Divinity at George W. Truett Theological Seminary. Pastor Dollar recently completed his Clinical Pastoral Education Residency at Seton Family of Hospitals. Please join us as we welcome Pastor Dollar, his wife Lisa, and their son Callum to our ESIC family.

I am excited and enthused to be the new pastor at ESIC 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 mid1990s.

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.

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

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 kid-friendly horses and a

On the Edge of the Weekend

Baptist Church. ESIC is a remarkable community of people who are seeking what it means to be a church and people of faith in the 21st century. I cannot think of a better place for my family and me to be.ESIC is an intimate congregation where it is acceptable to ask and struggle with the tough questions of life. It is a place where people feel comfortable to have spirited conversations, and often do so without being disagreeable! Having differing viewpoints and sharing them with each other enriches all of us as we try together to walk the journey of loving God and serving others. ESIC is a multigenerational church where my two year old son will form friendships with people from all walks of life. My wife, Lisa, and I are happy to bring our son to a place where both his mind and spirit will be nourished and respected and where he will encounter and be friends with a wide variety of people. ESIC’s identity statement starts with the words “we believe in love”. When love is the starting point we will find that we can all be fellow travelers.

Visit us on Sunday morning: Sunday school for all ages is at 9:00 and worship starts at 10:00. For more about who we are or what we believe, visit us at http://www.esicbaptistchurch.org. We look forward to sharing in your journey.

Music Tuning in Harry Connick Jr. to peform at The Fox AEG Live and Fox Concerts present multi-talented entertainer, Harry Connick, Jr., for one night only at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Sunday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 23 at 10 am at the Fox Box Office, online at metrotix.com or by calling (314) 534-1111. Ticket prices start at $49.50.

Harry Connick, Jr. and his band will perform in support of his new album, Every Man Should Know, a collection of twelve original songs touching on some of Harry'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.”

The range of the CDs songs is vast, touching upon love and loss, celebration and sorrow, tragedy a n d h o p e . Wi t h E v e r y M a n 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.”

T h e C h i c a g o Tr i b u n e s a i d , “Harry Connick Jr achieves a personal best” about his summer concert in Chicago. More information can be found at www. harryconnickjr.com.

Vieaux to open St. Louis Classical Guitar Society season On Saturday, September 28th at 8pm, guitarist Jason Vieaux will perform the opening concert

of the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society’s 50th anniversary season at the Ethical Society of St. Louis (9001 Clayton Rd). The St. Louis Classical Guitar Society was established in 1963 and has been presenting the finest guitarists and ensembles with guitar to St. Louis audiences since the mid1970's.

It is the second-oldest guitar society in the United States. Appropriately, Vieaux’s performance will feature Benjamin Britten’s Nocturnal, which was written the same year that the society was founded, 1963.

Vi e a u x ’ s d i v e r s e p r o g r a m will also include Isaac Albéniz’s Sevilla, J.S. Bach’s Lute Suite No. 1 in E Minor, Paulo Bellinati’s J o n g o , D a n Vi s c o n t i ’ s D e v i l ’ s Strum, Pat Metheny’s The Bat, and Jose Luis Merlin’s Suite del Recuerdo. In 2003, Vieaux’s CD, “Sevilla: The Music of Isaac Albeniz” made several top ten lists of the year.

This will be the Missouri p r e m i e r e o f D a n Vi s c o n t i ’ s Devil’s Strum which was written f o r J a s o n Vi e a u x . O f D e v i l ’ s Strum, Visconti states, “One of the defining myths surrounding American blues guitar playing is about a pact with the supernatural. In one such account, a man meets the Devil at the lonely crossroads in the dead of night, and strikes a bargain: in exchange for inhuman ability and charisma as a guitarist, the man need only sign over his eternal soul. The central moment in several versions of the myth is when the Devil tunes up the doomed man's guitar – the moment when the strings become awakened with unseen power and the man's fate is sealed. My new work for guitarist Jason Vieaux begins at just this moment –the moment of the Devil's long f i n g e r s s t ru m m i n g t h e j a n g l y strings.”

Jason Vieaux, "among the elite of today's classical guitarists" (Gramophone), is the classical guitarist that goes beyond the classical. He has earned

This year, Vieaux’s performance invitations have included returns to the Caramoor Festival, New Yo r k ’ s 9 2 n d S t re e t Y “ G u i t a r Marathon”, the Elgin Symphony and others. Numerous highlights for 2012-2013 included concertos with the symphonies of Houston, Toronto, Spokane, Augusta (GA) and Silicon Valley, a performance of the Lukas Foss Concerto for the New Hampshire Music Festival, duo recitals with acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and accordion/bandoneon virtuoso J u l i e n L a b ro , s o l o re c i t a l s i n Austin, at the Mannes School of Music and California’s La Guitarra Festival, and another Curtis On Tour sojourn, this time to South America.

In May 2012, the Jason Vieaux Guitar Academy was launched in partnership with ArtistWorks Inc., an unprecedented technological interface that provides a oneon-one online study exchange b e t w e e n Vi e a u x a n d g u i t a r students around the world.

Jason Vieaux continues to bring important repertoire alive in the recording studio.

A new Azica Records album of solo guitar encores is planned for a 2013 release. Among his 11 commercial albums is an Azica disc of Astor Piazzolla’s music with Julien Labro and A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra. Bach: Works

Vi e a u x ' s a l b u m s a n d l i v e performances are regularly heard on radio stations across the country, and his work is the subject of feature articles in print a n d o n l i n e a ro u n d t h e w o r l d every year, including in such magazines as Acoustic Guitar, MUSO, and Gramophone, and on NPR’s “Deceptive Cadence” music blog.

Jason Vieaux has performed as concerto soloist with over 50 orchestras, including Cleveland, San Diego, Ft.

Music Tuning in McLaughlin to perform at Blueberry Hill Singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin has announced his Holding My Breath tour, kicking off just a day after the release of a new album on September 24th. The tour begins close to his Midwest home base and travels throughout the country with stops in Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia and New York.

The forthcoming album, crowdfunded via PledgeMusic, is the second self-released project for McLaughlin, whose Forever If Ever debuted at #1 on both the iTunes Singer Songwriter Top 200 album chart and the iTunes Top 100 songs chart in 2011. Shortly after Forever if Ever was released, Razor & Tie Records licensed the album, renaming it Promising

Promises. Over 800,000 people have watched the video to the album’s single “Summer Is Over,” which features guest vocals by Sara Bareilles.

McLaughlin’s debut album, Indiana (2007), and OK Now (2008) immediately connected with music fans and drove his sweetly melancholy songs up the pop charts, including “Beautiful Disaster” and “So Close” (from the Disney film Enchanted) which he performed at the 2008 Academy Awards.

McLaughlin will perform on Sept. 28 at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis.

Travel Kentucky serves up a wealth of fall festivals

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge The fall festival season is upon us, and one of the best places to soak up those rich autumn colors is in Kentucky. The Bluegrass State is home to a wealth of natural and cultural treasures just waiting to be explored. From gently rolling pastures dotted with grazing thoroughbreds to the rugged mountains of Appalachia and the genteel cities of Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky is certainly worth a visit.

Best of all, the neighboring state is only a (reasonably) short drive away. Hop in the car after breakfast and you could be in Lexington or Louisville by lunch time. And Paducah to the south takes just under three hours to get to.

Kentucky is divided into five main regions and each has its own distinct flair. Visitors will be happy to know that cities and towns throughout the state host festivals that celebrate that particular region’s local traditions, food and music.

The Kentucky Department of Travel and Tourism has compiled a list of upcoming fall festivals to give you a taste of what’s available to see and do. Check out the list below to find your perfect fall festival. They include: Kentucky Bourbon Festival, Sept.

17 through 22 Uncork a good time as bourbon lovers flock to Bardstown for the 22nd annual festival celebrating the passion, history and art of making Kentucky bourbon.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"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.”

12

On the Edge of the Weekend

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.

"You're Next"

“You’re Next” is a nasty little slasher film that starts poorly but gets better once most of the cast has been butchered.

Indie film figures Joe Swanberg and Ti West play two attendees at a party where four siblings and their significant

September 5, 2013

others are celebrating their parents’ 35th wedding anniversary.

Most tolerable among this largely annoying crew are Crispian (A.J. Bowen), a college prof, and his Australian girlfriend Erin (Sharni Vinson), but that’s not paying the two very high praise.

The irritation factor grows substantially after the first slaying at this remote Tudor mansion, when half the female cast seems to be competing to shriek the longest.

An unknown number of men, wearing animal masks and wielding crossbows (why not guns?), are stalking the family from without and within the house; since director Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett have given themselves so many characters to kill, they start off with a few quick killings in which the victims are behaving so stupidly they’re practically asking to die.

Most frustrating during the film’s first half is that only one among the 10 characters, Erin, has anything approaching a self-preservation instinct. While others scream or stand around dumbly, she hustles off to lock windows and gather weapons.

While the mask-wearing villains have a hard time delivering the kind of novel slayings horror fans demand, Vinson musters the ferocity to compensate — the moment she meat-tenderizes an attacker’s skull, the movie starts to turn fun.

In the absence of sympathetic characters, a little humor would have gone a long way here. But aside from a near-miss sex scene in a bed shared by a corpse, there’s practically none on hand.

Only when the reasons for the attack become clear does the movie find its feet, but “You’re Next” ends on a high enough note that buzz on the way out of the theater should work in its favor.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.”

RUNNING TIME: Running time: 96 minutes.

“Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”

A young adult fiction binge has broken out in “Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.”

Like an 80-car pill-up, all of the current tropes of teenage fantasy here careen into one another: the young heroine with previously unknown powers; the gothic mix of heavenly and hellish supernatural creatures; the breathless romance with a young Brit of angelic cheekbones. And, oh, the tattoos.

It’s an overdose of mysticism, concocted to give devoted young fans their fix: a heartthrob to swoon over and grand battles to match inflated teenage emotions.

The film is based on the first in a series of popular young adult novels by Cassandra Clare, whose writing originated in “Harry Potter” fan fiction. It’s a blatant inspiration to “City of Bones,” the first of a planned franchise, as is (if you haven’t already guessed) “Twilight.”

Like a hand bag bought on a New York street, this is the knockoff version.

Lily Collins stars as Clary, a teen who discovers that her mother (Lena Headey) is secretly a Shadowhunter, a hunter of demons. At the same time as her mom is kidnapped, Clary, a bright redhead, realizes she’s able to see a hidden world in their native New York, one where Shadowhunters, demons, werewolves and warlocks stealthily operate in varying degrees of gothic drab, invisible to humans, or “mundanes.”

It’s a lot like a mediocre episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of fantasy violence and action, and some suggestive content.”

RUNNING TIME: 130 minutes.

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

As she hunts for her mom, Clary is quickly indoctrinated into this underworld, led into it by the aforementioned heartthrob, Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), an alluring Shadowhunter with blond locks.

"You're Next" a great thriller

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge When I sat down to watch "You're Next" this week I thought to myself, "am I really going to review a horror film?" It's not my favorite genre, being a pussycat and all, but it also hardly has enough supportable theme to merit writing about. Here, though, I'm wrong about a great many things.

You're Next is not a horror film. It's a survivalist thriller, and a very bloody one at that.

It's horrifically shocking, but wickedly funny at times as well.

It's also certainly unique enough for me to warrant mentioning the fact that two great/"different" releases popped up this weekend (the other is called The World's

End and I couldn't even begin to describe that one succinctly, though I enjoyed the heck out of it). Late August is usually p l a g u e d b y w e a k B o x O ff i c e , this year being no exception, but you're missing out in this case.

Check out both of these movies.

As families often do, the Davisons gather to celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of the parents (Rob Moran and Barbara Crampton). This get-together for their four adult children and spouses/significant others takes place at a beautiful country home where neighbors and services are in short supply. It's a tragic homecoming for sure. As soon as they sit down for a lovely dinner - ten people around a large table - disaster strikes in the form of c ro s s b o w b o l t s s h o w e r i n g i n through a window and piercing

guests in the head and other vital areas. The Davisons are the latest movie family to be faced with the unhappy prospect of a home invasion. In their case, the perpetrators are particularly brutal, using axes, razor wire, and machetes to dispatch of the terrified household, all while wearing really spooky animal masks.

The primary focus of the movie is the tacitly competitive relationship between brothers Crispian (AJ Bowen) and the nagging, badly wounded Drake (Joe Swanberg).

As they try to figure out how to keep everyone else alive, they take turns trying to be the big man in charge, drawing up the petty grievances they've been holding onto for many years. In the reality of this bleak situation, however, it's Crispian's girlfriend, Erin

(Sharni Vinson), who really steps up her game to start thwarting the maniacs in front of them. As we come to find out, Erin grew up on a doomsday-prepper colony in Australia and knows quite well how to handle a scenario where order descends into murderous chaos. She may look like a pretty flower, and her accent is divine, but this girl can kick some major butt. The movie, and her part in it, reminds me a lot of the great 2003 French film High Tension.

I learned in the preparation for this column that many of the younger generation of characters i n t h i s m o v i e a re p l a y e d b y actors who are also very active independent filmmakers directors, writers, and producers - which certainly adds an extra element of entertainment and meaning to some of the corny

September 5, 2013

jokes that fly early on. In fact, this film's screenwriter (Simon Barrett) is also the sledgehammerwielding villain behind the white r u b b e r Ti g e r M a s k . C re e p y.

"You're Next" is a great thriller that really gets your thoughts rolling about what would happen if your family were put in a similar situation. While far more than 99% of us will never go through such an experience, it does give me fodder for starting an interesting conversation when m y b ro t h e r a n d s i s t e r- i n - l a w visit this weekend. They're fit, outdoors-types. Should be pretty good in a fight.

"You're Next" runs 112 minutes and is rated R for strong bloody violence, language, and some sexuality/nudity. I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

Dining Delights It's still the most important meal of the day

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge We’ve all heard it before. For years experts have been telling us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet some of us continue to be “breakfast skippers.” We grab a latte and tell ourselves it is healthy because it has milk in it or down a few bites of cereal before rushing out the door. As a result, we start the day with bodies that are depleted and in desperate need to refuel after a long period without food.

Keeping your morning routine organized is key when it comes to saving your sanity and ensuring your family’s nutritional well-being.

Pediatrician and “Food Fights” author, Dr. Laura Jana, provides her tips to help make sure that

even the breakfast skippers get out the door on time with a breakfast that everyone can feel good about. Jana is an Omahabased pediatrician and health communicator. Well-recognized nationally for her ongoing efforts to promote healthy lifestyles for families, Jana offers credible practical parenting advice. She is the founder of her own company — Practical Parenting Consulting.

Here are a few of Jana’s tips for ensuring everyone gets a good breakfast in the morning: • Staying Sane: Keep a calendar on the fridge with everyone’s schedule for the week so that nothing is forgotten.

• On-The-Go: Whether you’re running out the door to take your teenager to school or rushing to get yourself to yoga class, it’s entirely possible to get

off to a healthy start when you are on the go. It can be as easy as tossing a nutritious breakfast shake in your purse or handing it to your teenager as they run out the door.

• Living Healthy: The combination of regular exercise and a balanced diet that includes plenty of fiber, protein, whole grains fruits, and veggies is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy, as well as help get you moving each morning.

That’s why Kellogg’s is introducing Kellogg’s To Go, an on-the-go option for regular breakfast skippers. Kellogg’s To Go Breakfast Shake Mix allows you to create your own unique breakfast shakes to take with you on the go with the nutrients, like protein and fiber. Take a look at the recipes below and see if Kellogg’s To Go might be a breakfast option for you.

Berry Blast Breakfast Shake Your favorite frozen berries, Greek yogurt and Kellogg’s To Go Breakfast Shake Mix blend together, making a delicious, powerful breakfast.

Lunch boxes: Buying them and filling them

By J.M. Hirsch AP Food Editor Selecting lunch gear used to be simple.

Stuff your lunch into a paper bag or pick the box decorated with whichever movie, television or toy character your kid was most smitten with. Done.

Things are a bit more complicated today.

Lunch box styles vary from soft-sided cooler bags to Japanese-inspired bento boxes, even Indian tiffin canisters. They can have builtin ice packs. They can be microwaved. They can be made from recycled bisphenol-Afree, lead-free, phthalate-free, PVC-free plastic. They can be forged from 18-gauge stainless steel. Some adult versions even come with their own cheese boards and wine glasses.

So how do you choose? Much depends on the types of foods you pack and how you pack them, as well as when and where you eat them. But there are some general tips that can help you sort it all out regardless.

THE GEAR — Dishwashers rule If it isn’t dishwasher safe, don’t buy it.

Even if you don’t use the dishwasher, this tells you something about the quality and durability of a lunch box item.

— Multiples matter Get more than one of everything. This makes life much easier on those days when you forget or just don’t have time to wash

14

the gear used the day before.

— Lunch boxes Soft-sided insulated cooler bags are the way to go. They are affordable and come in all shapes and sizes. They also are durable and easy to clean. Look for one with two compartments. This makes it easier to segregate items, such as easily bruised fruit, or a thermos of warm soup and a cold yogurt cup.

— Food containers These are the jars, boxes and other containers the food goes in. Be sure to get a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different foods. And at least some should be watertight for packing sauces, dips, puddings and other liquids.

For a budget option, go with plastic food storage containers, which are cheaper to replace if lost. If you don’t care for plastic, there also are plenty of stainless steel options. These tend to be pricier, but are indestructible, kid-friendly and dishwasher safe. My favorite is the LunchBots brand, available in every conceivable size and shape.

Plenty of companies also sell lunch “systems,” or sets of small containers that fit together and pack easily in an insulated bag. These sets offer less versatility than when you assemble your own collection of containers, but they work great. Laptop Lunches makes a wonderful food-safe plastic bento kit.

On the Edge of the Weekend

September 5, 2013

— Drink bottles Even if all you ever pack is water, an insulated drink bottle is a good idea.

Insulated bottles don’t sweat. They also give you the flexibility to pack warm or cold drinks, such as hot cocoa or smoothies.

— Thermoses It’s best to have two: a conventional narrow thermos for soups and other easily spilled items, and a wide-mouthed jar for larger foods, such as warm sandwich fillings or meatballs.

When selecting a thermos, be sure to check its thermal rating, which indicates how long it will keep items hot or cold.

This is important information you’ll need to keep the food you pack safe to eat.

Perishable cold foods must be kept below 40 F. Hot foods should be held at above 140 F. Once the temperatures go outside these ranges, the food is safe for another two hours. To use this information, figure out what time of day the lunches you pack will be eaten. Count back to the time of day the lunches are packed. This is how long you need to keep the food hot or cold.

One final tip about thermoses. They hold their temperatures best if you prime them before adding food. Packing soup or another hot item? Fill the thermos with boiling water for a few minutes to heat it up, then dump out the water and add the food. Filling it with yogurt or something that needs to stay cold? Place the empty

thermos in the freezer for a few minutes first.

— Utensils This is not the time to break out the good silverware. But I’m also not a fan of disposable plastic, which breaks easily and has a lousy eco footprint. Instead, grab some inexpensive stainless steel utensils at the bargain or second hand shop.

— Ice packs Even if you’re using an insulated lunch bag, an ice pack is a good idea, especially when packing lunches when it’s hot out.

As with everything else, get several so you always have one ready to go. I prefer rigid packs, rather than soft. The soft ones puncture more easily and can freeze in odd, hard-to-pack shapes.

THE FOOD Easy, delicious lunch packing relies on leftovers. This is why there are certain dinner foods I always make sure to cook too much of: chicken, steak, pasta, rice, and grilled or roasted vegetables. They’re all easily transformed into something fresh.

That’s why dinner is the best time to start thinking about the next day’s lunch. If supper leftovers could be easily repurposed, you might as well make a little extra.

So the following dinner recipes for America chop suey and bacon-cauliflower mac and cheese are intended to make too much. I designed them to leave you with ample leftovers to use for lunches.

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

L

ast year Dance St. Louis wowed audiences with New Dance Horizons, which brought four nationally-renowned choreographers from around the country to St. Louis. Together, they collaborated with four local professional dance companies to create four distinct works within a single production aimed at pushing the boundaries of dance.

The result was a combination of four beautiful and high caliber works that challenged both the professionals involved in creating the pieces and the audiences who viewed them.

This season, Dance St. Louis continues that creative drive with PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons II on Oct. 4 and 5 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. The new production will see all four previous participating professional dance companies return. This includes Leverage Dance Theater, MADCO, Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company and Saint Louis Ballet. The new participating choreographers include Nejla Yatkin; the world-renowned dancerathletes of Pilobolus; former Ailey principal dancer and founder of Minneapolis-based TU Dance, Uri Sands; and the young and prolific ballerina-turned-choreographer Emery Crone.

Press information about each choreographer states:

Nejla Yatkin “Renowned choreographer and dancer Nejla Yatkin works with Leverage Dance Theater, a modern dance collective led by Artistic Director Diana Barrios that uses dance and creative movement in non-traditional environments to engage new audiences and generate social discourse to fuel artistic work.

The Berlin native with Turkish roots draws upon diverse traditions of dance, cultures and medium and utilizes subjects that are at once universal and timeless.”

Uri Sands “Uri Sands collaborates with Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company, the company founded in 2010 by Jennifer Medina that creates accessible and uplifting dance performances throughout the St. Louis area. Sands, a former principal dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, founded TU Dance in Minneapolis in 2004 with his wife, Toni Pierce-Sands, who is also a former dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

the direction of Artistic Director Stacy West, MADCO is known for its versatile and athletic style.

Artistic adventures "My Fair Lady" to close season at STAGES Hailed as one of the greatest musicals of all time, My Fair Lady (September 6 through October 6) is the perfect grand finale to the STAGES ST. LOUIS record-breaking 27th season. This romantic fancy radiates a charm and sophistication unlike any other musical and reigns as an American masterpiece. Lerner and Loewe's score couldn't be closer to pure perfection, with memorable show-stoppers such as "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live," and "Get Me to the Church on Time." You'll "grow accustomed" to this "loverly" classic as "your heart takes flight."

Single ticket prices range from $20 - $55. STAGES performs in the intimate, 377-seat Robert G. Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Civic Center, 111 South Geyer Road in St. Louis, MO. For more information or to purchase tickets call 314-821-2407 or visit www.stagesstlouis.org.

The gold standard by which all others are measured, My Fair Lady brings to vibrant life the thrilling transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a lowly flower girl in Victorian London, into a ravishing upper class lady. Hedging his bets, Professor Henry Higgins is determined to teach this cockney girl proper English but will he be able to get along without her once he succeeds?

My Fair Lady is based on Pygmalion, written by George Bernard Shaw in 1912. Pygmalion had its first production in Vienna during the fall of 1913 and premiered in New York at the Irving Place Theatre during the spring of 1914. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe had the brilliant idea to adapt the play into a musical and began this process in 1950. My Fair Lady premiered on Broadway in 1956 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre and starred Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. It closed in 1962 after 2,717 performances, a record at that time.

Christopher Guilmet and Pamela Brumley star as Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, respectively. Guilmet returns to STAGES, previously appearing in The Sound of Music, Man of

La Mancha, Camelot, and A Little Night Music. His numerous New York, L.A., and regional credits include The Crucible, Carousel and The Immigrant. Brumleyalso returns to STAGES, having previously a p p e a r e d i n L i t t l e Wo m e n , Thoroughly Modern Millie and A Little Night Music. Among her numerous New York and regional credits, Brumley has previously played Eliza in My Fair Lady and appeared in Camelot, Show Boat, Beauty and the Beast and the film The Perfect Stranger.

Also starring in the production i s re t u r n i n g B ro a d w a y A c t o r Edward Juvier (Alfred P. Doolittle), previously appearing in The Secret Garden, Promises, Promises, Man of La Mancha, Guys and Dolls, and The Drowsy Chaperone. Juvier's other credits include the National Tour and Broadway productions of Les Miserables.St. Louis actors John Flack, (Colonel Pickering) has appeared in twenty-three STAGES seasons, most recently the 2013 production of Disney's Cinderella and the 2012 production of My One and Only. Flack's other credits include Annie, Guys and Dolls, Whoopee!, and Promises, Promises, Zoe Vonder Haar (Mrs. Higgins), returns after performing in over sixty STAGES productions, including Always... Patsy Cline, Hello, Dolly!, Gypsy, Mame, and A Chorus Line. Vonder Haar's other credits include the first International Touring Company of A Chorus Line and numerous productions at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and The Muny, and Kari Ely (Mrs. Pearce) returns to STAGES for her 39th production.

Ely's other Credits include Sense and Sensibility, Sunday in the Park with George, A Little Night Music and The Music Man.

Broadway smash returns to The Fox

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

S

ex, murder, fame and the razzle dazzle of 1920s Chicago comes to St. Louis when the first national tour of “Chicago” returns Sept. 20 through 22 at the Fox Theatre.

Wayward housewife and nightclub dancer Roxie Hart dreams of stardom while cheating on her unsuspecting husband. But when her lover threatens to walk out on her, Roxie murders him in cold blood. Desperate to avoid a conviction, Roxie hires Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer, the smooth-talking Billy Flynn, to defend her.

In a spectacular display of courtroom theatrics, Flynn transforms Roxie’s malicious crime into a sympathetic story that captures the imagination of the city’s story-hungry press and public. Meanwhile, Flynn’s other client and Roxie’s cell-mate rival Velma Kelly plots her own sensational rise to criminal stardom.

The original Broadway production of “Chicago” opened in 1975 at the 46th Street Theatre in New York. The show featured a book by Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse. John Kander composed the music while Ebb wrote the lyrics. Fosse directed and choreographed the show, which is a stunning display of his innovative and unique style.

A revival of “Chicago” opened on Nov. 14, 1996 to rave reviews. Barry and Fran Weissler produced the show with Walter Bobbie directing and Ann Reinking choreographing in the style of Bob Fosse. The revival went on to win six Tony awards in 1997 including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording. The show also has the distinction of being the longest running American musical in Broadway

history.

The St. Louis show features John O’Hurley as the silver-tongued prince of the courtroom, Billy Flynn. O’Hurley is best known as J. Peterman on the long-running hit TV show

On the Edge of the Weekend

September 5, 2013

“Seinfeld” for which he won a Screen Actors Guild Award. His other television credits include “Dancing with the Stars,” “DanceOff!” on ABC and as the host of “Family Feud.” O’Hurley has played the role of Billy

Flynn three times on Broadway. He also starred in the national tours of “Pirates of Penzance,” Gentleman Prefer Blondes” and “Brigadoon,” and has performed with many symphony orchestras across the country.

Paige Davis stars as murderess Roxie Hart. Her Broadway credits include Gloria in “Boeing, Boeing,” and she starred as Charity in the National Tours of “Sweet Charity.” Her other credits include Babette in “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Vagina Monologues.” On television, Davis starred as the host of TLC’s "Trading Spaces" and "Home and Family" on Hallmark. She is a 2013 Emmy Award Nominee for "Home Made Simple" on OWN. Terra C. MacLeod will play the role of Roxie’s cell-mate Velma Kelly. MacLeod has played the role of Velma Kelly around the world, from Broadway to the West End, as well as the international and national tours and the 10th Anniversary Gala. Her film and TV credits include “The Lizzie Maguire Movie,” "The Reagans," "The Dead Zone," "Jeremiah," "Cold Squad” and "Life or Something Like It." Carol Woods will play the role of Matron “Mama” Morton and Todd Buonopane as Amos Hart.

Director Walter Bobbie and Choreographer Ann Reinking return for the touring production. Set designer John Lee Beatty, Costume Designer William Ivey Long, Lighting Designer Ken Billington and Sound Designr Scott Lehrer round out the creative team. The production also features orchestrations by Ralph Burns and supervising music direction by Rob Fisher.

Performances of “Chicago” are at 8 p.m.

Friday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

The Arts Edwardsville Arts Center to exhibit the works of Carlis Chee

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

C

arlis Chee has called many places home over the years. He was born into the Navajo Nation in Arizona, spent half a dozen years bouncing from boarding school to boarding school and even spent a few years in Japan and Hawaii.

Change, he believes, is good.

For him, different landscapes, people and cultures all work together to stimulate creativity.

Plus, he says, he just loves to get in his truck and drive.

However, one place that keeps Chee coming back year after year is Edwardsville. Chee, who currently lives in Santa Fe, refers to Edwardsville as his “adopted Midwest home” where he can relax and spend time with Frank and Rita Flanigan, his “adopted Midwest folks.”

“We’ve been really good friends for years. We sort of adopted each other,” he says during a recent telephone interview from his studio in Santa Fe. He describes how the Flanigans’ belief and investment in him helped to make him the artist that he is today.

Chee’s work will be the focus of a new exhibition at the Edwardsville Arts Center. “25 Years of Carlis Chee, A Retrospective” opens Sept.

6 with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the EAC. The show runs through Oct. 11.

Chee uses acrylics, sometimes with a little sand mixed in for texture, to depict the beauty and traditions of his people and culture.

His works reflect traditional Navajo images that evoke the simplicity of Japanese art, which he has long admired. And always in his work there is the presence of his beloved grandmother, Anna Jean. She raised him from the age of 2 until her death when Chee was 11. She was a powerful presence in Chee’s life, and her legacy is a lasting presence in his work.

“She’s been the life force behind my whole work. She instilled me with the Navajo language, and she took me to many, many ceremonies over the years,” says Chee. “For 25 years I’ve been painting these people with their eyes closed because at 5 and 6 a.m. I saw my grandma meditating. My work is definitely dedicated to her. The lips are always dark, always black because she was eating grapes in the summer.”

Another major influence in Chee’s life and career is the work of famed Navajo artist R. C. Gorman. Chee’s high school art teacher introduced him to Gorman’s work. That was the moment, he says, he realized he could make a career out of

painting.

“I think that really inspired me to this day. He introduced me to R. C. Gorman and that changed my whole life at the age of 17.”

Chee attended the University of Nebraska (formerly Kearney State College) and later the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. It was a Kearney State College that he fell in love with Asian art and its simplicity of line. As Chee gained confidence in his artistic style, he began to experiment more with shadows and texture. This often involves adding sand to a painting or building up the layers of paint. More recently, Chee says he has been painting more landscapes, nudes and still lifes.

“I love to work on 10 paintings at a time. Every one has their own energy,” he says. He describes working like this as similar to being in a room with 10 different people and taking time out to speak to each one of them. They all have something different to say.

Curator and EAC Board Director Pat Quinn said she is excited to feature Chee’s work in the center.

Chee previously showed a few pieces in last year’s Grab-n-Go Gift Show, but this will be his first solo gallery show.

“Each individual piece hits me differently. I love the bold

with the textural quality of the images,” says Quinn. “He looks to how he can meld the old with the new…He and his work are almost like one. He paints in the here and now.”

Quinn said she also hopes the exhibition will help to stimulate educational discussions among students studying American history, as well as art. She said the goal of the center is to continue to bring in a more diverse range of works from artists further afield to keep the exhibitions fresh.

As for Chee, he’s happy to be coming back “home” to Edwardsville and thrilled to have the opportunity to show his work at the EAC. The EAC Student Gallery will feature the work of EHS alumnus Dionne Raedeke.

The EAC, located at 6165 Center Grove Road (on the campus of Edwardsville High School), is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday and is closed Sunday through Tuesday.

Call the EAC for more information at 655-0337 or visit the center’s website at www. edwardsvilleartscenter.com For more information about Carlis Chee, visit him on Facebook at facebook.com/carlis.chee.

DEBIT

Kemper Museum to host the works of Rashid Johnson

A young man in suit and tie gazes warily at the camera, taking its measure, betraying nothing, sly wit reserved for the title. In Self Portrait with My Hair Parted Like Frederick Douglass (2003), Rashid Johnson pays homage to the 19th-century abolitionist, putting himself in dialogue with this renowned cultural icon but also crafting his own myth of artistic self-creation.

This fall, Washington University's Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum will present Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks, the first museum exhibition to survey the career of the Chicago-born, New York-based artist. In works that span photography, painting, sculpture and video, Johnson confronts old assumptions about the African American experience while exploring, often playfully, the complexities, contradictions and singular histories that comprise black identity today.

The exhibit will be on display from Sept. 20 through Jan. 6.

Though Johnson frequently alludes to historical and cultural figures, he also incorporates commonplace objects from his own childhood, a process he describes as “hijacking the domestic.” Plants, books, record albums, photographs, soap—all become the working materials for conceptually loaded and visually compelling artworks.

Death by Black Hole “The Crisis” (2010) includes books by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and social critic Harold Cruse, while Triple Consciousness (2009) serves as a virtual altar to Al Green’s 1975 Greatest Hits. In The Shuttle (2011), Johnson layers references to comedian (and one-time presidential candidate) Dick Gregory and his own father. Self Portrait Laying on Jack Johnson’s Grave (2006) juxtaposes the historical and contemporary, depicting the artist collapsed across the heavyweight champion’s gravestone.

Johnson’s work remains grounded in the strategies of modern and contemporary art, particularly abstraction and appropriation. Antibiotic (2011) is a large, aggressively textured painting executed in black soap and wax, while Promised Land and Run (both 2008) consist of their respective titles spray-painted, graffiti-style, onto mirrors. In Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos (2008),
