People Busy hands really are happy hands 94-year-old man stays active with woodworking hobby By JULIA BIGGS jbiggs.edwi@gmail.com

len Cunningham spends about two hours every day woodworking in the lower level of his daughter Vicki Matlock’s home making small toys and a variety of intricate wooden items. Nearly 95 years old, he seems to have found the fountain of youth. He’s a perfect example of how doing something you love, doing for others and keeping yourself mentally active can add years onto your life. Born in Witt, Cunningham moved to East Alton at the age of 10 and spent most of his life in the East Alton/Wood River/ Fosterburg area. Having always enjoyed working with his hands, Cunningham recalled the day he became involved in woodworking. “I started out making a bird house,” he said. “My dad showed me how to use a hand saw and he did a square cut so that the two pieces fit together. And I’ve been doing it ever since.” Cunningham’s enjoyment in working with his hands transferred into his adult life where he worked as a welder at Olin for 44 years. He retired in 1980. Throughout those years and into retirement, Cunningham and his wife moved into different homes in the area, but one thing never changed. He always had a woodworking area set aside at his home. “He made big yard ornaments,” Matlock recalled. “Big snowmen, big roadrunners.” “Mostly big stuff because I had the room,” Cunningham added. Cunningham’s last home included an oversized garage and a shed that he used as a workshop, but to access them, he needed to maneuver a flight of stairs which became more and more difficult as he aged. “And if the weather was bad, if it was hot or raining, he couldn’t go outside. He just stayed inside,” Matlock said. About a year ago, Matlock said that she moved her father into her home in Edwardsville. “After my husband passed away, we redid the family room, and I moved him in over here,” she said. Matlock’s home had an area that she turned into her father ’s new workshop. “But when he moved in here, we had to downsize,” she added. That didn’t stop Cunningham. Instead of massive yard ornaments, Cunningham began creating smaller items. Searching woodworking magazines, Cunningham finds a pattern he likes, reduces the project down to a smaller size, builds it and paints it. With just a drill press, scroll saw, belt sander and band saw, Cunningham spends a couple of hours each day making children’s toys, wooden animals with parts that move in the wind, boxes and intricate sayings cut out of wood. The shapes these items can take are endless. There’s butterflies,

Julia Biggs/The Edge

Glen Cunningham, above, sits in his work area. Daughter Vicki Matlock, below, with one of her father's creations. airplanes, cats, dogs, donkeys, hummingbirds, frogs, Tweety birds, alligators and even flying pigs. “See that pig hanging up there. That’s the original,” Cunningham said referring to a pink wooden pig with mechanical wings. “You know that old saying, when pigs fly,” Matlock said with a chuckle. “We got a lot of flying pigs.” Cunningham has several plastic tubs filled with his work in various stage. He said that he’s happy to sell his works of art if people want to buy them, but he typically gives them away or they sit around until they get sold in a yard sale. But Matlock explained how people seem to gravitate to her father ’s wooden pieces. She said her father had recently completed treatment at Alton Memorial’s Wound Center. While he was at an appointment, one of the medical staff members commented about a dragon fly. “Dad had a little dragonfly that sat on a pedestal so he took that to her,” Matlock said. "Well then one of the other girls said, 'Well, I like hummingbirds.' So he made a hummingbird and took that to her. Then one of the other girls said that her step daughter liked puppy dogs – like Dalmatians – well dad had one here that he had made a while back so we took that up to her.” Matlock said that the Dalmatian sat on the counter in the medical office for a while before being taken home and several patients had commented about it. “One of the nurses said, “I think we need a Dalmatian to come back to the counter. So

dad made a family of Dalmatians – one sitting, one standing and then two others – but they were small. That was their conversation piece,” Matlock said. Cunningham was more than happy to oblige the requests. It’s easy to see that his woodworking is a labor of love and one that keeps him young. He looks so much younger than his years that Matlock chuckled and said she’s considered buying a t-shirt that says “I’m the daughter” as many people will question if she is his wife. “He looks a lot younger than what he is,” she said. “Everyone has always made that comment.” She attributed part of his continued youthfulness to her father being able to work on his wood projects every day at her home. “Here, he’s free to do it whenever. And I don’t care. Every so often I go through and clean the middle of the room,” she said joking. “But I’m so satisfied with him being happy and satisfied. Just being here, he’s a little more relaxed because he’s doing what he wants to do, and I think it’s made a difference too. Matlock laughed when she commented that Cunningham enjoys his new woodshop in her home so much that she “can’t get him out of the workshop,” she added. “I have a camper in Litchfield, but I can’t get him up there. He’s been having more fun since he’s been here because he was always so restricted. Now he can do this anytime he wants to. It was definitely a good idea to move him here. He loves it here.”

People Youngster sees the bigger picture

Wyatt Erber, fourth from left in front, received a check from First Clover Leaf Bank President Dennis Terry, third from right, for $1,000 after winning a scavenger hunt. Erber is donating the money to a 2-year-old cancer victim. By TARA WEPKING Of The Edge

hat started as a scavenger hunt at First Clover Leaf Bank in Edwardsville turned into $2,000 raised for a local child with leukemia, thanks to the efforts of 8-year-old Wyatt Erber. Erber and his mother Noelle worked as partners throughout the First Clover Leaf Bank scavenger hunt, checking Facebook for clues and visiting local businesses such as Annie’s in order to be the first team to complete the hunt and receive the grand prize of $1,000. The scavenger hunt began early on in the summer, only a few short days after their neighbors, Trisha and Jim Kielty, had received the devastating news that their 2year-old daughter, Cara, had been diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. According to the Mayo Clinic, acute lymphocytic leukemia is “a type of cancer of the blood, bone and marrow,” and is the most common type of cancer among children. The diagnosis hit home in a neighborhood where neighbors had already banded together in previous years to work with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a non-profit organization committed to raising funds for pediatric cancer research. As soon as his mother asked 8-yearold Wyatt if he would like to join her in the scavenger hunt, he knew what he

Scavenger hunt winner gives cash to cancer victim wanted to do. “Wyatt said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it, and if we win, we could give the money to Cara to help her,’” Noelle Erber recalled. “I didn’t really know what I would’ve done with it,” Wyatt Erber explained. “And I knew what they could’ve done with it that would’ve really (been) a big help for them (Cara Kielty and family).” Initially, the idea that an 8-year-old boy would willingly choose to donate those funds to her family was hard for Trisha Kielty to comprehend. “Honestly, I was hoping they wouldn’t win,” Kielty explained. “It’s hard. He’s 8, and he worked his butt off for this. I don’t want to take money from a kid; I want him to go out and blow it. But I was told, without a doubt, that this was absolutely what he was doing. So I decided, all right, that’s fine – we’re going to accept it with open arms and realize that he’s just that great of a kid. “I have an 8 year old too. And I tell you, that if he had a thousand dollars? You would not see him again until he was out of Best Buy. It’s pretty amazing that at 8, that’s what’s on his (Erber’s) mind.” Upon hearing about Erber’s generosity, the Edwardsville Neighbors in Need organization stepped up to match the prizemoney the third grader had already won from First Clover Leaf Bank. “Wyatt’s generosity to his neighbor...

really touched our hearts,” Kathie Opel, one of the founding members of Edwardsville’s Neighbors in Need, explained. “That really encompasses what we would like to do as an organization – help our neighbors who are suffering.” Neighbors in Need is a non-profit organization that works to help anyone in Edwardsville District 7 experiencing a recent medical crisis who finds themselves in need of some additional assistance to get by. In the past, the organization has helped with rent or medical costs, gaining most of its funding from its annually held events, the Turkey Trot and the Taste of Edwardsville. Now, Neighbors in Need is lending its support to Cara Kielty’s case. Shortly after Wyatt won, Rachel Case, who works in marketing and social media at First Clover Leaf Bank, brought Erber’s actions to the attention of the board at Neighbors in Need, where she is also a member. From there, the organization decided that it wanted to match his donation to the Kielty family. “... the fact that an 8-year-old kid did this on his own really touched us, and we wanted to support him as well as Cara,” Opel said. “When we first found out we won, we were jumping all over the place. We were so excited,” Noelle Erber recalled. “When we found out what they (Neighbors in Need) did, we were jumping all over the place

again.” “It’s a little overwhelming, but it’s a good overwhelming,” added Trisha Kielty. As for Cara Kielty, the toddler already shows signs of responding well to treatments. Upon her initial diagnosis, she received a port placed under her skin, with her first round of treatment coming just over two weeks later. After recovering from a bout of parainfluenza and croup, doctors performed a secondary bone aspiration test on the toddler and informed her parents they could bring their daughter home. “Normally, they want to see kids with less than 3 percent of the blast (cells) in their bones,” Trisha Kielty explained, referencing one of the symptoms acute lymphocytic leukemia – an excess of lymphoblast cells. “She was under 1 percent.” However, in spite of Cara Kielty’s positive response to treatment, the road to a full recovery is still a very long and costly one. In order to help with the expenses of treatment, First Clover Leaf Bank has set up a fund in her name, where donors may give funds to help cover the toddler’s expenses. Interested patrons may inquire about the “Cara R. Kielty Benefit Fund” by calling First Clover Leaf Bank at (618) 656-6122 or visiting any of their branch locations in person.

People People planner Lincoln Museum to host Civil War exhibit The deadliest weapon of the Civil War was one that nobody could see, killing two soldiers for every one felled by gunfire. The extraordinary casualties caused by that invisible killer, disease; the conventional weapons used to create slaughter on an u n p re c e d e n t e d s c a l e ; h o r r i f i c injuries suffered on the battlefield; and the heroic efforts of medical personnel to treat soldiers on both sides are described in detail in “To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War,” a new exhibit that opens May 11 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield. This Civil War 150th anniversary exhibit runs through 2013 and f e a t u re s o r i g i n a l i m a g e s a n d artifacts from the Presidential Library and Museum’s collections supplemented by unique artifacts from the Illinois State Military Museum, The Museum of the Confederacy, Rush University Medical Center Archives, Fort Sumter National Historic Site, Nancy Ross Chapter of the DAR from Pittsfield, University Museum of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and the Old State Capitol State Historic Site. Visitors can see an original Civil War hospital flag; a field stretcher; a door used as a surgical table; original weapons; a tree trunk from the Battle of Chickamauga with an embedded artillery shell; various medical

a n d s u rg i c a l t o o l s , i n c l u d i n g an amputation kit; a crude leg prosthesis; a drum carried by a wounded soldier; and original letters, journals, drawings, clinical photographs and medical records. “Northerners and Southerners shared similar weapons, military training, and medical knowledge at the beginning of the Civil War,” said Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Executive Director Eileen Mackevich. “Both sides also shared a lack of preparedness for the human c a r n a g e t h a t m o d e r n w a r f a re would create. This new exhibit shows in very graphic and human terms the wounds and illnesses suffered by soldiers and the herculean task of providing m e d i c a l c a re t o t h e s i c k a n d wounded.” The experiences of actual soldiers are prevalent throughout the exhibit, including quotes and photographs, lending a human touch to the horror of war. Some of the images come from original m e d i c a l f i les and graphically depict the effects of deadly weapons and even deadlier germs on the bodies of Union and Confederate soldiers. The exhibit opens with the weapons that caused the wounds during the Civil War, including guns, ammunition, artillery and edged weapons. This section also deals with the increased effectiveness of the weapons, and how carefully trained soldiers could create havoc while using them. Union Captain John C. Van Dozer wrote in 1863 about a Confederate sharpshooter his

unit encountered: “One mile up the river from Mason’s house, one fellow, using a Mississippi rifle, killed everything he shot at, man, horse, or mule; he killed 3 men and wounded 2, and killed about a dozen mules.” The medical personnel who provided treatment to the sick and wounded are profiled in the exhibit. There were just 113 military doctors in the prewar Union army; by the end of the Civil War, the Union had more than 12,000 and the Confederacy 3,200. Most nurses were male, but a female nurse, famed author L o u i s a M a y A l c o t t , w ro t e i n her Hospital Sketches about recovering soldiers who because of nursing shortages were pressed into duty to care for their comrades: “I should like to enter my protest against employing convalescents as attendants,

instead of strong, properly trained, and cheerful men...here it was a source of constant trouble and confusion, these feeble, ignorant men trying to sweep, scrub, lift, and wait upon their sicker comrades. One, with a diseased heart, was expected to run up and down stairs, carry heavy trays, and move helpless men; he tried it, and grew rapidly worse than when he first came; and, when he was ordered out to march away to the convalescent hospital, fell, in a sort of fit, before he turned the corner, and was brought back to die.” Well-known figures such as poet Walt Whitman, whose experiences will be described in the exhibit, provided comfort to the wounded and dying in military hospitals. “To Kill and to Heal: Weapons and Medicine of the Civil War” opens about a month after the

150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, the first Civil War battle with massive casualties on a scale that indicated what the remaining years of the war would bring. G l e n n a S c h ro e d e r- L e i n i s t h e curator, and she worked closely with an exhibits team consisting of John Malinak, Michael Casey, Carla Smith, Katie Grant, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation, staff from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, and numerous community groups, institutions, and individuals to create the exhibit. Paid admission to the Abraham L i n c o l n P re s i d e n t i a l M u s e u m is required to view the exhibit. A d m i s s i o n p r i c e s a re $ 1 2 f o r adults, $9 for senior citizens, and $6 for children. A special admission rate of $5 is available to those who want to visit only the new exhibit.

Religion Religion briefs California resolution denouncing anti-Semitism on campuses targets anti-Israel protests

The Council on American Islamic Relations said the resolution went too far and constituted an attack on students’ right to free expression.

SACRAMENTO, California (AP) — A resolution urging California colleges and universities to squelch nascent anti-Semitism also encouraged educators to crack down on demonstrations against Israel, angering advocates for Muslim students. With no debate, lawmakers on Tuesday approved a re s o l u t i o n t h a t e n c o u r a g e s u n i v e r s i t y l e a d e r s t o combat a wide array of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel actions. “ C a l i f o r n i a s c h o o l s n e e d t o re c o g n i z e t h a t a n t i Semitism is still a very real issue on college campuses a ro u n d t h e s t a t e — i t d i d n o t d i s a p p e a r w i t h t h e e n d o f Wo r l d Wa r I I , ” s a i d A s s e m b l y w o m a n L i n d a Halderman, the resolution’s author. Most of the incidents of anti-Semitism the resolution cited are related to the Israel-Palestine debate. These include instances of protesters comparing Israeli police to Nazis and urging support for Hamas. The resolution, which is purely symbolic and does not carry policy implications, also condemns the suggestion that Israel is a “racist” state and that Jews “wield excessive power over American foreign policy.”

Businesses reopen after 2 days of riots in Mombasa, questions remain about murder of Islamist M O M B A S A , K e n y a ( A P ) — B u s i n e s s e s re o p e n e d Wednesday in most parts of Mombasa after youths rioted for two days, angered over the killing of a hardline Muslim cleric. The rioting on Monday and Tuesday had brought this vibrant city, Kenya’s second-biggest, to a near standstill, left four people dead and several churches and businesses damaged. Police reinforcements helped contain attempts by youths from the populous Majengo area to continue with the protests for a third day. The disturbances broke out as a response to the killing of Muslim cleric Aboud Rogo Mohammed, who had been sanctioned by the U.S. and U.N. for his alleged support for al-Shabab, an al-Qiada-linked militant group in Somalia. He was shot to death by unidentified gunmen Monday morning as he drove in his car with his family.

Police say Jewish religion not factor in attack on U.S. college student DETROIT (AP) — A university student’s Jewish religion was not a factor in an assault at an off-campus party, police said Wednesday, a day after the 19-year-old man claimed he was hit in the jaw as a victim of “religious hatred.” There is no dispute that Zach Tennen was seriously injured early Sunday. But witnesses interviewed by detectives have not confirmed Tennen’s account that he was attacked after revealing he’s Jewish, East Lansing police Capt. Jeff Murphy said. Police also have no evidence that Tennen’s mouth was stapled, as he maintains, Murphy said. “There’s a lot more to it than what is on the surface,” Murphy told The Associated Press. “This came out early as being reported as a hate crime. It now appears after we’ve talked to many people who were at this party — and most importantly two witnesses who saw the actual assault — it doesn’t appear that religion was the reason he was assaulted.” Tennen is recovering from jaw surgery. His father, Bruce Tennen, said the police department’s latest “assertions sicken us.” Tennen was punched while in the front yard of a Michigan home while 40 people partied in the backyard. The Michigan State student said he was punched and had his mouth stapled after telling two men that he’s Jewish.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“Hope Springs”

Here’s how surprisingly effective this movie is: It will make you want to go home and have sex with your spouse afterward. Or at least share a longer hug or a more passionate kiss. You don’t have to be married for 31 years like the stuck-in-a-rut couple Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones play to feel inspired by the film’s message about the importance of keeping your relationship alive. It sounds like a cliche because it is a cliche, and more: It’s a cottage industry, one that’s launched countless afternoon talkshow episodes and shelf after shelf of self-help books. And yet, despite television ads that look alternately wacky and mawkish and suggest pat, glossy superficiality, “Hope Springs” unearths some quiet and often uncomfortable truths. The first produced script from television writer and producer Vanessa Taylor (”Alias,” “Game of Thrones”) explores the complicated dynamics that develop over a long-term relationship with great honesty and little judgment. What looks like a standard rom-com turns into something akin to a contemporary Ingmar Bergman film. The performances from Streep and Jones go a long way toward elevating the rather straightforward direction from David Frankel, which includes some painfully literal musical selections and a few hokey comic situations. Their characters, Kay and Arnold, live a sexless life in a comfortable suburb of Omaha, Neb. When Kay finally decides she’s sick of their complacent routine, she insists Arnold join her for a week of intensive couples therapy with a renowned psychologist (Steve Carell). In Maine. RATED: PG-13 for mature thematic content involving sexuality. RUNNING TIME: 99 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“The Odd Life of Timothy Green”

Novelist and filmmaker Peter Hedges, author of “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” and creator of Katie Holmes’ lovely independent feature “Pieces of April,” strains to Disney-ize the family dysfunction territory he explored so well in those works with this nauseatingly sweet fantasy. Adapting a short story by Ahmet Zappa (son of Frank), writer-director Hedges tries for old-fashioned wholesomeness only to flounder amid a well-intended but sappy tale of a childless couple mystically granted a test run at parenthood. Hedges assembled an impressive cast, led by Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton as parents to a mystery boy (CJ Adams) that comes into their lives, and the actors buy into the story’s conceits wholeheartedly. The characters are simplistic and artificial, though, behaving in ways that often are insultingly naive and sometimes just plain stupid. A movie’s in trouble when the characters are just as unbelievable as the premise. It’s a very pretty movie to look at, awash in postcard images of rural America and lush colors that turn from verdant to autumnal as the story unfolds. Beneath the pretty pictures is a silly, shallow stab at Capra-corn, the sort of magical story of simple, genuine people mastered by Frank Capra with such films as “Meet John Doe” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Sadly, the movie’s is all corn, no Capra. RATED: PG for mild thematic elements and brief language. RUNNING TIME: 104 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“ParaNorman”

So much drawing for such an unworthy script. The labor necessary to create a movie like this is colossal, so it’s tempting to applaud it politely, simply because of the admirable work. No one wants to tell 60 puppet makers that their months of toil were ill spent. But the frequently wondrous and whimsical visuals far surpass

On the Edge of the Weekend

the disappointingly slipshod story of an 11-year-old boy named Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who can see and speak to the dead. “ParaNorman” is from the creators of 2009’s “Coraline,” and bears much of the same fantasyhorror spirit. It also has some of the comic elements of the British studio Aardman Animations (”Wallace and Gromit”); “ParaNorman” is directed by Sam Fell (who co-directed Aardman’s “Flushed Away”) and Chris Butler, who also wrote it. Norman’s uncle (John Goodman) bequeaths to him the duty of pacifying a witch that has haunted their town of Blithe Hollow for 300 years. After failing in the ritual, Norman and an improvised gang (Tucker Albrizzi, Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Alex Borstein) flee from a septet of zombies. The running around town takes up much of the film, robbing “ParaNorman” of pace and setting it on a tiresome and frantic trajectory before enough character development has taken place. Blessed with otherworldly animation, it can’t escape the demons of story. RATED: PG for scary action and images, thematic elements, some rude humor and language. RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“Hit & Run”

Dax Shepard puts his friends, fiancee Kristen Bell, even his own vehicles to good use in this fun little car-chase comedy that’s quite infectious — the good time clearly had by the filmmakers rubs off on the audience. Done on a tiny budget, the movie’s stunts and chases are nothing much, but the lack of resources steers the story away from action and toward the characters, who are wry, irreverent, even endearing. Screenwriter Shepard, the “Parenthood” co-star who directed the movie with David Palmer, tailors the roles to suit his pals, including Bradley Cooper, Tom Arnold, Kristin Chenoweth and “Parenthood” co-star Joy Bryant. Shepard plays a former getaway driver now in witness protection, who winds up pursued by his old bank robbery gang when he hits the road to get his girlfriend (Bell) to an interview for her dream job in Los Angeles. The result is like a student film made by pros, weirdly idiosyncratic but efficiently paced. It’s well-scripted and well-acted, and if the movie lingers too long on so-so gags and inside jokes Shepard and his friends found particularly funny, it compensates with a freewheeling spirit that pulls viewers along for the ride. R for pervasive language including sexual references, graphic nudity, some violence and drug content. RUNNING TIME: 99 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING Two and a half stars out of four.

“Premium Rush”

Let’s just be glad Smell-O-Vision never caught on. Thankfully, the musky odor of sweaty bike messengers doesn’t emanate from director David Koepp’s thrill ride, an enjoyable, two-wheeled action film and flashy ode to the subculture of urban couriers. It’s a silly movie predicated on a simple premise, but it’s satisfying B-movie entertainment that moves with the swiftness of a Schwinn — a ride made particularly fun by Michael Shannon’s enthrallingly comic performance as a dirty cop in mad pursuit of a bike messenger’s cargo. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a hardened New York City messenger who’s forsaken a promising career in law for the freedom of riding the city’s congested streets. His dispatch (Aasif Mandvi) sends him on a seemingly innocuous delivery that will prove anything but. Chief among the impediments is Shannon’s detective, whose gambling debts in Chinatown have made him desperate for Wilee’s lucrative delivery. Koepp assembles backstories with flashbacks to earlier in the day, but the film moves with pedal propulsion along with numerous chase sequences made with stunts, rather than visual effects. But

September 13, 2012

Shannon as a wide-eyed, exasperated maniac doesn’t just steal the movie, he towers over it. In a two-tire film, he’s an 18-wheeler. RATED: PG-13 for some violence, intense action sequences and language. RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING Three stars out of four.

"For a Good Time, Call ..."

The whole point of calling a phone-sex line is that you know what you're getting, right? You pick up the phone, pay your money and partake in some, um, selfsatisfaction. It's a sure thing. Everyone hangs up happy. With this comedy, you only think you know what you're getting. It looks like total formula and — for a little while, at least — feels like it, with its broad types who are complete opposites getting thrown together in a contrived, high-concept situation: operating a phone-sex business out of a Manhattan apartment they're forced to share. But the actresses playing the two lead characters — Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller — have such a light and lovely chemistry with each other, and director Jamie Travis keeps things moving so briskly, you find yourself not minding how by-the-numbers the story is. And then within that by-the-numbers story, there ends up being enough surprises and twists that you find yourself unexpectedly charmed. Brassy party girl Katie (Graynor) and conservative, overachieving Lauren (Miller) both find themselves in need of a roommate. They learn to tolerate each other at first, then become business partners and eventually best friends. The raunchiness will invite comparisons to "Bridesmaids" — although co-star Miller and Katie Anne Naylon wrote their script first — but the exploration of close female friendship has a similar honesty. RATED: R for strong sexual content throughout, language and some drug use. RUNNING TIME: 89 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Lawless"

If you can accept the notion that Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke could be brothers during this century or any other, you might be able to immerse yourself in the artfully pulpy allure of "Lawless," based on the true story of the bootlegging Bondurants. Director John Hillcoat's ultraviolent drama plays like a hot, sweaty, delusional fever dream and is similarly fitful. It can be visceral and operatic, beautiful and brutal but also slow and overlong. The look and the sound of it are the most effective parts, and the most intrinsically tied: Singer-songwriter Nick Cave, a longtime friend and collaborator of fellow Australian Hillcoat (on "The Proposition" and "The Road"), wrote the script and co-wrote the score, so there's a peculiar kind of dark flavor, humor and musicality to the cadence of the dialogue. "Lawless" is based on "The Wettest County in the World," Matt Bondurant's fictional tale of his grandfather, Jack, and his brothers, moonshine masters who kept the Virginia hills good n' liquored up during Prohibition. They find their tidy little operation threatened when a corrupt Chicago lawman named Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) swoops in to shut them down. Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Gary Oldman are underused in supporting roles. RATED: R for strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity. RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

Movies "Lawless" a cure for documentary blues By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge Maybe it was all the coverage of the Republican National Convention two weeks ago, or the start of the DNC last week, that did it, but I actually went and tried to watch the hot button movie "2016: Obama’s America." But I’ve mentioned before my disdain for politics. The film, based on a pair of Barack Obama biographies is lame, even for a documentary, but rooted in personal attacks that harm the president’s image as a man, let alone the leader of the free world. I walked out after about 20 minutes. So, I decided to remain neutral on that front. I am the Switzerland of shock tactic political cinema. So this morning, well-rested and dodging rainstorms, I took in "Lawless," a Prohibition-era gangster movie that gave me my groove back. It was certainly a lot less wordy, but chock full of bloody action violence. "Lawless" is to moonshining what Winter ’s Bone was to meth

cooking a few years ago. It gives you a realistic look at what it takes to be a bad man doing illegal things to survive in a hard time. Winter’s Bone is the better movie, if I’m pressed, only because Lawless is a historical look at something we can’t glimpse out our window. The bad men in this movie are the Bondurant brothers, a trio of reputably invincible so-and-sos that cook White Lightning corn whisky in stills across Franklin County, the wettest county in America during a height of dry times. The eldest brother, Howard (Jason Clarke) is a hothead enforcer of the violence that goes hand-in-hand with running a highlylucrative business tied into the look criminal underworld. His youngest brother, Jack (Shia LaBeouf) is an enterprising fellow who wants to turn their local distillery into the big time like the Chicagoland gangsters he idolizes (including Gary Oldman playing creepy well). The middle brother is the leader of their family because nobody messes with Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy). Hardy

chews his dialogue like a dog with a bone, but he’s fierce and just as dangerous as Howard. Together the boys decide that they won’t be told what to do when the crooked arm of the law shows up in town under the guise of Deputy Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce, looking just dapper enough to be a monster). I love the cast of this movie, which also includes a pair of lovely faces as Jack’s sweetheart (Mia Wasikowska) and an employee of the Bondurant’s legit gas station café, Maggie B e a u f o rd ( J e s s i c a C h a s t a i n ) . Chastain, in particular, is a joy to watch. She shows that her status at 2011’s "It Girl" will carry her through for longer than one season. I look forward to her work in December’s "Zero Dark Thirty" under director Kathryn Bigelow. What a team those two should make! Hardy is the real star of this movie, though, and it makes you wonder how well this guy can really act when given a legitimate shot. In Inception he was the British mercenary sidekick. In Warrior, he

was the sulking younger brother. And between "The Dark Knight Rises", where he played an auditorily masked villain, and Lawless’s throat-injured hillbilly, I wonder just what this guy’s speaking voice would sound like. It might be a good idea to go against type and throw him into a screen adaptation

of something that involves all kinds of talking. Maybe a David Mamet or Neil Simon production? ••• Lawless runs 134 minutes and is rated R for strong bloody violence, language, and some sexuality/ nudity. I give this film three stars out of four.

Film really is a "Good Time" By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press The whole point of calling a phone-sex line is that you know what you’re getting, right? You pick up the phone, pay your money and partake in some, um, self-satisfaction. It’s a sure thing. Everyone hangs up happy. With the comedy “For a Good Time, Call ...,” you only think you know what you’re getting. It looks like total formula and — for a little while, at least — feels like it, with its broad types who are complete opposites getting thrown together in a contrived, high-concept situation: operating a phone-sex business out of a Manhattan apartment they’re forced to share. But the actresses playing the two lead characters — Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller — have such a light and lovely chemistry with each other, and director Jamie Travis keeps things moving so briskly, you find yourself not minding how bythe-numbers the story is. And then within that by-the-numbers story, there end up being enough surprises and subversive twists that you find yourself unexpectedly charmed. Miller co-wrote “For a Good Time, Call ...” with her college roommate, Katie Anne Naylon, who really did run a phone-sex line out of her dorm room because she needed the cash. Comparisons to last year ’s hugely successful “Bridesmaids” are inevitable, given that it features women saying and doing the sort of raunchy things that previously had been the staples of Judd Apatow’s bro-centric oeuvre. They actually finished their script before “Bridesmaids” had even been shot, but the two films do share a wonderfully honest exploration of close female friendship, and how discovering another woman who truly “gets” you can carry all the thrills of falling in love. Graynor and Miller ’s characters are miles apart emotionally, though, at the film’s start. Graynor’s Katie is a brassy party girl with a wardrobe full of animal prints and a stripper pole in the middle of her living room who pays the bills through random jobs. Miller’s Lauren is conservative

and precise, all headbands and innocent nighties, a young woman of privilege who had her entire

life mapped out — including, she thought, marriage to her longtime boyfriend, Charlie (James Wolk).

47th season of Dance St. Louis set to unfold By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge

hat do you get when you bring together four renowned choreographers from around the country to work with four St. Louis dance companies to create four brand new world premiers? One explosive production that promises to showcase St. Louis dance like never before. Dance St. Louis kicks off its 47th season on Oct. 5 and 6 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center with “PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons.” This pioneering venture will see choreographers from Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Texas and St. Louis collaborate with Saint Louis Ballet, Leverage Dance Theater (formerly aTrek Dance Collective), MADCO and Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company to create four distinct, clever and moving world premieres. Then, after opening in St. Louis, the show goes on the road with five neighboring stops in Missouri and Illinois. The world premiere performances are a part of the American Arts Experience – St. Louis. The production will showcase the talents of the ironic post-modernist Pam Tanowitz, the witty and subversive choreographer Victoria Marks, thought-provoking ballet artist Gina Patterson and musical and expressive Jessica Lang. “We wanted to kick off the season with a bang and what better way to do it than a quartet of collaborations?” said Michael Uthoff, Dance St. Louis’ artistic and executive director in a news release. “ ‘PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons’ is a project special and dear to me not only because it’s the first time Dance St. Louis has commissioned such a production,

Pictured are two views of the Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company during rehearsals. but also because it sets a great precedent for what I consider to be an outstanding 2012-2013 season.” Each of the four choreographers brings their unique perspective and talents to the St. Louis stage. Victoria Marks of Los Angeles is working with Leverage Dance Theater, a non-traditional company of artists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of dance in and around the St. Louis community through outreach, service and collaborative dance-making, directed by Diana Barrios. Marks, hailed for her “superior intelligence, lyricism and wit” by the Village Voice, creates socially and politically engaged dances for stage, film, and community settings. Jessica Lang collaborates with

Common Thread Contemporary Dance Company, which presents accessible and uplifting dance performances throughout the St. Louis area and was founded in 2010 by Jennifer Medina. Based in New York, Lang has been choreographing extensively for ballet and modern companies across the U.S. and abroad since 1999. The Chicago SunTimes called her works, “charged with emotion and meaning.” Gina Patterson works with MADCO, the professional dance company in residence at the Touhill Performing Arts Center that is known for its versatile and athletic style and is under the direction of Stacy West. Co-founder and artistic director of VOICE Dance Company in Austin, Texas, Patterson’s mix of

off-center modern movements and classical ballet technique has been praised as creating “startling patterns that were deeply incisive” by Back Stage and “the most thoughtprovoking images” by Pointe Magazine. Pam Tanowitz will collaborate with Saint Louis Ballet, the region’s largest ballet company, directed by Gen Horiuchi. Dance Magazine called the New York-based Tanowitz, who has been making dances since 1995, “fresh, relevant, and coolly ironic…a classicist whose lush dances are rigorous experiments of form.” The rest of the 2012/13 Dance St. Louis season looks set to be equally exciting with performances of “Pilobolus”, “Moulin Rouge – The

Ballet” and the highly anticipated copresentations with the Fabulous Fox Theatre “STOMP” and “Anything Goes.” The complete season schedule includes: “Pilobolus” Nov. 9 and 10, 2012 Touhill Performing Arts Center “STOMP” Co-Presentation with the Fox Theatre Jan. 11 through 13, 2013 Fox Theatre “Moulin Rouge - The Ballet” by Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet Jan. 25 and 26, 2013 Touhill Performing Arts Center “Carmina Burana” by Nashville Ballet Feb. 21 through 24, 2013 Touhill Performing Arts Center New York City Ballet “MOVES” March 9 and 10, 2013 Fox Theatre 6th Annual Emerson Spring to Dance® Festival 2013 Co-Presentation with the Touhill Performing Arts Center May 23 through 25, 2013 Touhill Performing Arts Center “Anything Goes” Co-Presentation with the Fox Theatre May 28 through June 9, 2013 Fox Theatre Performances of “PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons” will take place on Friday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 6 at 2 and 8 p.m. at the Touhill Performing Arts Center, 1 University Blvd., St. Louis, MO, 63121. Michael Uthoff, Dance St. Louis artistic and executive director, will host a free program, the Marjorie Orgel Speaking of Dance Series in the Touhill’s Terrace Lobby at 7:15 p.m. prior to the 8 p.m. performances and at 1:15 p.m. prior to the Saturday 2 p.m. performance. Tickets are $40 for the evening performances and $30 for the Saturday matinee.

The Arts Threlkeld to be featured at Hatheway Gallery By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge

ibrant reds, yellows and blues swirl together in the brilliantly colored abstract paintings of artist Dale Threlkeld at the inaugural exhibit of the Hatheway Cultural Center Art Gallery at Lewis and Clark Community College.

The exhibit, “Dale Threlkeld: Birth to Light,” opened Aug. 24 with a special reception and will run through Oct. 4. It is open to the public. The exhibit features a collection of works, large and small, that call to mind telescopic observations from the Hubble Space Telescope of nebulas, spiral galaxies or supernovas, or aerial views from space looking down at the estuaries of the earth’s great rivers. The seminal painting in the exhibit, the 22-by-7-foot diptych “Birth to Light,” took more than three months and 15 quarts of paint to complete. The combined synergy between it and the smaller diptych “Guardian,” makes a profound visual statement about the evolution and totality of Threlkeld’s work. “This is truly exciting – for the first time art works will be displayed in the Hatheway Cultural Center. This exhibition has been designed especially for the incredibly dynamic and multi-layered paintings of Dale Threlkeld,” said Jim Price, professor of art, history and culture at Lewis and Clark in a news release. “His paintings in this setting make for a visual delight. Visitors to the gallery will be treated to a display that will enthrall everyone ranging from the novice to the most advanced connoisseur.” Threlkeld’s realism is comprised of his sense of color, scale and the exquisite details that arrive from his skilled mastery of oil paint. Varying the surface texture from thickly laid impasto strokes mixed directly on the canvas with subtle washes overlaying one another, accented with lines, both thick and thin that float above passages

For The Edge

Dale Threlkeld with one of his many paintings. of smooth flat colors, the three dimensionality of his paintings are both physical and visual. His foreground, middle ground and background are suggested through the layering of color and the variety of his application process. There is no specific focal point to the art work – rather, the entire painting becomes the focus. “Color is such a great expressive tool. I see so many colors as I mix the paint. I don’t have a favorite color, but I tend to stay away from black. My sources of inspiration are everywhere — great music, literature, nature, anything that just gets your pulse going,” Threlkeld said in the release. “A work of art should be a revelation. Art that is a revelation explores the territory between the explicable and the inexplicable. The inexplicable is more interesting to me. As with any adventure, the process of painting

is full of the potential unknown. Something new is revealed even though it may be linked to what we already know or suspect. The beauty of it is its mystery; the mystery of it is its beauty.” The origins of Threlkeld’s work come from years of experimenting with paint and his intellectual observations of the concepts of nonobjective painting. The distinctive imprint of his work comes from his ongoing exploration of the physical interaction of his materials and its applications, while his impressive body of work is the result of his vast experiences coupled with a confidence of skill and his total freedom of expression. Threlkeld was born in April 1944 in the small town of Shelbina, Mo., and grew up in Northeast Missouri and Southwest Illinois. For the past 40 years, he has exhibited his artwork extensively throughout

the Midwest and East Coast and has become a nationally recognized artist. He was introduced to art at a young age and traveled often with his father, Joseph Magruder Threlkeld, who was a jockey and a trainer who worked with thoroughbred horses on the Midwest horseracing circuit. After graduating from high school in 1962 with honors, he became the first in his family to attend college. Upon graduation from Northeast Missouri State Teacher's College (now Truman State University) in 1966, he joined the United States Army and served from 1966 to 1969 – including one year in Vietnam (1967-1968). In 1969, he chose to use the GI Bill to continue college at Ball State University and pursue a career in art. After a stint teaching at Belleville Area College, and working

toward his MFA at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Threlkeld headed to New York and was accepted into Gimpel & Weitzenhoffer Gallery of London, Zurich and New York City. In 1975, at age 31, he was listed in Who's Who in American Art. Since then, his paintings have been shown all over. Currently he spends his time between his studio in Illinois and New York City. “I think that we go through four stages in art. The first stage is when you’re a kid and you make art for your mom. The second stage is when you are a student, and most artists stay students for a long time – I’ve always been a student,” Threlkeld said. “The third stage is when you think you’re an artist, and it’s kind of like putting on a smock and going into the studio, but the last stage is when you really become one and it’s your skin.”

The Sheldon to feature works by Arnold Newman The Sheldon Art Galleries opens Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture, Friday, October 5, 2012 in the Gallery of Photography and Bernoudy Gallery of Architecture. Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres from 5 – 7 p.m.; galleries are open until 9 p.m. for First Fridays in Grand Center. The exhibition runs through January 19, 2013, is organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions and is part of the American Arts Experience, St. Louis. The exhibition is made possible by Chris Kaplan and Barbara and Arthur McDonnell. Gallery hours are Tuesdays, Noon – 8 p.m.; Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, Noon – 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and one hour prior to Sheldon performances and during intermission. Admission is free. For more information on the exhibition, visit the galleries’ website at www.thesheldon.org/ galleries.asp.

Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture features photographs of some of the most innovative minds and personalities that defined a century as seen through the eyes of one of its own: Arnold Newman. With over 60 images, this collection features portraits of those who gave rise to the ideas and concepts that have shaped our world, including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Igor Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder, Ayn Rand, Langston Hughes, Martha Graham, Man Ray, Leonard Bernstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John F. Kennedy, Philip Glass and Woody Allen, among many others. With a career spanning 60 years, Newman’s body of work reads as a roll-call of the most influential names of the 20th century. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is acknowledged as one of the great masters

of photography, and his work has changed the photographic portrait. Recognized as the “Father of Environmental Portraiture,” Newman was influenced by early photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and the school of Modernism. He quickly developed his own unique visual style and technique, placing his subjects in the midst of the stuff of their genius. His portraits at once speak to his talent as a photographer and his unparalleled ability to capture the personality of his subjects. Born on March 3, 1918 in New York City, Newman was raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Miami Beach, Florida. From 1936 – 1938, he studied art at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, where he received a scholarship. Newman began his career in photography in 1938 working at chain portrait studios in Philadelphia, Baltimore and West Palm Beach, but immediately began working in abstract and documentary photography on

his own. In June of 1941, Beaumont Newhall of the Museum of Modern Art and Alfred Stieglitz “discovered” him, and he was given an exhibit with Ben Rose at the A.D. Gallery. In 1945, his one-man exhibit, Artists Look Like This, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, attracted nationwide attention. Well established, he moved to New York in 1946, opened a studio and became a member of the American Society of Magazine Photographers (ASMP). Newman has been profiled extensively in domestic and international magazines and is featured in photographic books, histories of photography and television documentaries. His work has been the focus of twelve monographs, and he was an important contributor to magazines like Life, Holiday, Look, Vanity Fair, Scientific American, Town and Country, Esquire, Travel and Leisure, Harper’s Bazaar, The New Yorker and others.

Circus Flora plans dinner theater Four performances scheduled in October By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge

ircus Flora will transport guests to the mysterious and romantic Emerald Isle with a new cabaret-style dinner theater that is geared toward adult audiences. The show is called “A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg” and organizers promise it will carry audiences to “a mythical land of eternal youth, mystery and revelry.” The production will run for only four performances at 7 p.m. Oct. 18, 19 and 20, and 4 p.m. Oct. 21 under a smaller, more intimate big top tent to be erected on the northwest grounds of Chesterfield Mall, 113 Chesterfield Center. Audiences will enjoy a gourmet, sit-down dinner with dessert and wine prepared by Michele CoenRacanelli and Vito Racanelli of Michele C. Catering & Events. The show stars Circus Flora favorites Sacha Pavlata, Melinda Heywood, The Bertini Family Troupe, Kellin Quinn of Circus Harmony, Claire “The Clown” Wedemeyer, and Cecil MacKinnon as Yo-Yo the Compere. “A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg” is the brainchild of Circus Flora’s artistic director and cofounder Ivor David Balding and follows similar productions in New York and San Francisco. It is loosely based on Arthur Schnitzler ’s “La Ronde” and will be directed by Cecil MacKinnon. Balding said the idea for the show was born out of an experience he had while visiting friends in southern France 20 years ago. He said his friends, knowing of his involvement with horses, suggested they visit a nearby gypsy camp where there were said to be some special horses doing special behaviors. “We arrived and their wagons

were circled around a ring with a big fire pit in the middle. The horses were beautiful - the women were also - lots of good food and wine, plus great music. I thought at the time that if I could recreate this on stage, it would be successful,” said Balding. According to Balding, the world of Irish mythology perfectly suits an autumnal, nighttime show. He said he has always found Celtic folklore and mythology “mysterious, dangerous and romantic.” Balding said that audiences can expect the same production quality and world-renowned performers that Circus Flora is known for, but the new tent and table seating makes this dinner theater distinctive and romantic. A portion of the proceeds from “A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg” will benefit Circus Flora’s most recent community outreach program, Clowns on Call, which sees performers bring the magic of the circus to two St. Louis area children’s hospitals: Mercy Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. The show is also part of the annual American Arts Experience – St. Louis, a 17-day festival celebrating all mediums of American arts throughout the St. Louis region each October. Visit www.AmericanArtsSTL. org for more information. “A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg” is an extension of Circus Flora’s 2012 season, which concludes in December with “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”, Circus Flora’s second co-production with the St. Louis Symphony. The 2013 season kicks off with Circus Flora’s 27th annual big-top production, “A Trip to the Moon,” May 30 through June 23. Tickets for “A Celtic Night Circus: Tír na nÓg” are $175 and include a gourmet dinner, dessert and wine. Tickets are on sale now and are available by calling (314) 534-1111 or online at www.circusflora.org.

Travel

What's new in the Windy City By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge While St. Louis boasts a number of excellent museums, galleries and art venues, sometimes it’s good to get away from home and find out what other cities have to offer. One fantastic place to explore is Chicago’s Field Museum located right on the city’s famous lakefront. As one of the world’s great museums, it includes a treasury of objects including ancient mummies, endangered plants and animals and SUE, the largest and most complete T. rex ever found. It is also a focus of public learning and scholarly research. All of which make The Field Museum an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. The Museum has several fascinating new exhibitions opening throughout the months of September and October. There are also a number of permanent exhibitions that continue to amaze and delight visitors all year long. Take a look at the schedule below for full exhibition details. Current and upcoming exhibitions: Extreme Mammals: The Biggest, Smallest and Most Amazing Mammals of All Time Now through Jan. 6, 2013 Explore the surprising and sometimes bizarre world of Extreme Mammals. Inspect oversized claws, massive fangs, extraordinary snouts, amazing horns, and other traits that make these mammals truly remarkable. Uncover the characteristic that links us to over 5,400 wonderfully weird living species, and discover how we might be the most extreme mammal of them all. All-Access Pass: $29 adults, $24 seniors and students with ID, and $20 children. Fashion and The Field Museum Collection: Maria Pinto Now through June 16, 2013 A translucent raincoat made of seal intestines. An artfully sewn vest of crocodile skin. An evening gown woven from rubber-coated threads. Lovers of art, style, and history alike will revel in this thoughtful “fashion mash-up,” presenting clothing masterworks from The Field Museum’s collections from around the world, as selected by esteemed Chicago fashion designer Maria Pinto. Intermixed with the Museum’s pieces are chic contemporary clothing ensembles created by Maria Pinto. Free with Basic admission. The Romance of Ants Now through Oct. 30 Get a look at the life of Field Museum scientist Dr. Corrie Moreau, and learn how her childhood love for insects spurred a career dedicated to researching ants. Through breathtaking photographs, a colony of live ants, and comic book style illustrations, journey with Dr. Moreau and discover fascinating facts about ants and their multiple roles within the ecosystem.

with food, medicine, oxygen, and energy. This exhibition features contemporary works of art that interpret how biodiversity contributes to the quality of our lives.

Free with Basic admission. Images of the Afterlife Now through June 9, 2013 Two ancient Egyptian mummies from Field Museum collections will come face-to-face with the public like never before. Recent CT scans and the latest 3-D imaging revealed the mummies’ age-old secrets to Museum scientists, and enabled an artist to create hyperrealistic sculptures portraying how these two individuals looked in life, thousands of years ago. You’ll envision the mummified remains as real persons—a woman in her forties with curly hair and a teenage boy named Minirdis. Free with Basic admission. Maharaja: The Splendor of India’s Royal Courts Oct. 17 through Feb. 3, 2013 Explore the dazzling world of India’s maharajas from the 1700s to the 1940s, and discover the important role these legendary rulers played in its cultural and political history.
