People Kim Massie and the Solid Senders Edwardsville favorites to perform at GEACF fundraiser

By BILL TUCKER For The Edge

K

im Massie will be performing her music with the hope of helping area students perform theirs.

The Greater Edwardsville Area Community Foundation will present Kim Massie and the Solid Senders at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 in the Leclaire Room at Lewis and Clark Community College’s Edwardsville campus.

The “Party for the Arts” serves as a fundraiser for the GEACF and is being presented in cooperation with the Edwardsville Arts Center.

The GEACF was established in 1997 and is a charitable trust that receives, manages and distributes tax-deductible charitable contributions for the benefit of the greater Edwardsville communities and residents.

Scholarships are one of the GEACF’s focus areas and the “Party for the Arts” is designed to raise money for them with an emphasis on the arts, visual and performing.

Community Awareness Chairman Chad Abernathy said since the organization was formed, $5.9 million in scholarships has been raised and distributed.

“The fund doesn’t really do a lot of fundraising,” Abernathy said. “We help manage donation funds and there’s all kinds of ways people can gift.”

The Oct. 26 event is one such way.

Tickets are $35 each and proceeds will go to GEACF scholarships.

Massie is an Edwardsville favorite, having played the Leclaire Room and Wildey Theatre in the past.

A resident of St. Louis and the grandmother of six, she covers a wide range of musical genres from blues to rock, from pop to country and from

gospel to rhythm and blues.

Massie has performed with the likes of Cyndi Lauper, India Arie, Nelly and Chuck Berry. She is a regular attraction at Beale on Broadway in St. Louis.

Abernathy said in addition to hearing a great singer, those who attend the “Party for the Arts” will be helping area students.

“All proceeds will go toward funding foundation scholarships,” Abernathy said. “This year we’ve decided to focus on the arts.”

In 2012, the GEACF welcomed singer Erin Bode and the Edwardsville High School Orchestra benefitted from that fundraiser, Abernathy said.

Last year, the GEACF awarded 61 scholarships totaling $65,950.

In addition, $800 was awarded to the Main Street Community Center for laptop computers, $700 was awarded to the St. John’s Community Center to purchase items for the aging and disabled and $439,200 was awarded in grants to local charities.

In 2013, a $1,500 grant went to the Watershed Nature Center.

The GEACF serves those communities in Edwardsville District 7 – Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Hamel, Moro, Dorsey, Worden and the surrounding areas.

GEACF Chairman Mary Westerhold said the organization is pleased to be hosting this year ’s fundraiser.

“We are very excited to help raise funds for our various GEACF scholarship programs that are awarded annually to students in our community,” Westerhold said in a press release. “We hope that our community, along with local business partners, will join us again this year for a special evening of entertainment.”

For information on purchasing tickets, visit the GEACF website, www.geacf. org. To become an event sponsor, contact Westerhold at 855-646-3223.

People Edwardsville Fall Beer Festival set Global Brew to host fundraiser for Toys for Tots

By MATT WINTE Of The Edge

F

or beer lovers, Edwardsville City Park will be the place to be on Saturday, Oct. 19, for the Edwardsville Fall Beer Festival hosted by Global Brew Tap House and Lounge. The event will raise money for Toys for Tots.

The festival's third installment looks to capitalize on the moderate temperatures of fall and will bring a little bit of Oktoberfest to Edwardsville with over 20 beers available along with food from local restaurants, live music and a brewing demonstration.

"It's been such a huge success.

It's been fun to do. It's fun to have everybody come out to the park for such a great cause," said Laura High, co-owner of Global Brew Tap House and Lounge.

Festival attendees will have plenty of beers to choose from at the festival, including beers from Kona, Goose Island, New Belgian, Schlafly, 4 Hands Brewery, Urban Chestnut, Lost Coast, Big Muddy and Tall Grass among others.

This year will also feature some special releases and a large number of fall seasonal beers. Something for everybody High said.

"If you’re a veteran drinker you’re going to find some IPAs, stouts, a really good variety of tastes across the spectrum. If you’re a novice beer drinker, who is not really too sure but wants to try some different stuff out, its a great opportunity to do that in a really fun setting," High said.

To help point people get the most enjoyment out of the festival and to find some interesting beers, staff from Global Beer will be on hand.

"We understand craft beer can be

Attendees will also be able to satisfy their hunger at one of the many food tents where local restaurants will be serving up some of their favorite menu items.

Restaurants will include Herzog's Kitchen, Papa Murphy's, Craft Chophouse, Bigelo's Bistro and Cleveland-Heath.

"There will be a lot of great

variety. I believe there might be some doing German-style food since we will have Oktoberfest beers available," High said.

On the music front, Al Holliday and The East Side Rhythm Band will be returning to the festival to play.

Live music will start at 11 a.m. and continue throughout the festival. A second band will be announced at a later date.

Those who are interested in learning about how the beer they are drinking is made can watch a

October 3, 2013

brewing demonstration from the East Side Brewers.

According to High, the East Side Brewers are a home brew club from Edwardsville who are really passionate about beer and home brewing.

"This is their third year coming out to the festival and they are going to be brewing beer out in the park, talking beer with people, giving people information (about home brewing) and helping people understand the back end of beer,"

High said.

This year's beer festival is the third time Global Brew has hosted the event. The last one was held in April and despite some rain, the event attracted over 3,000 people.

High is hoping for a similar turnout for this year's fall festival.

"We have upped our volunteers.

We've upped the amount of beer we've got. We have extra wrist bands and more porta potties. We are equipped to handle as many as they can throw at us," High said.

All of the fun is for a worthy cause – providing a Christmas present for underprivileged area children.

To help get the most toys for children in need, every person who donates a toy or makes a donation to Toys for Tots will be entered into a drawing to win a New Belgium Brewery bicycle and other brewery gifts.

Fall Beer Festival shirts will also be available for purchase for $10, with 100 percent of the proceeds from the shirts going to Toys for Tots. A portion from all beer and food sales will also be donated.

"The holiday season is approaching and we wanted to do something timely involving that. Our area is wonderful in supporting the children in our community," High said. "Our goal is to make sure every kid has Christmas gift."

Entrance to the beer festival is free.

Beer and food will be available for purchase and an ATM will be onsite.

No one under 21 can purchase or consume alcohol. Edwardsville Police will be on hand to enforce this and confiscate fake IDs. City Park is located at 112 S. Buchanan.

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. St. Louis City and County residents enjoy discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon. Missouri Botanical Garden members are free.

The Missouri Botanical Garden is

located at 4344 Shaw Blvd. in south St. Louis, accessible from Interstate 44 at the Vandeventer exit and from Interstate 64 at the Kingshighway North and South exit. Free parking is available on site and two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer.

For general information, visit w w w. m o b o t . o rg o r c a l l ( 3 1 4 ) 577‑5100 (toll-free, 1‑800‑642‑8842).

Follow the Garden on Facebook and Twitter at www.facebook. com/missouribotanicalgarden and http://twitter.com/mobotnews.

More than 45,000 households in the St. Louis region hold memberships to the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Memberships begin at $65 ($60 for seniors) and offer 12 months of free general admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under, plus exclusive invitations and discounts.

Lewis Black returning to St. Louis Live Nation welcomes Lewis Black to the Peabody Opera House on Friday, October 4 at 8PM. Lewis Black, Grammy Awardwinning stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as standup comedian, actor and author.

Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently a sold out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience.

He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence.

People People planner SWIC Astronomy Club announces series topics for fall The Southwestern Illinois College Astronomy Club wants to explore the solar system with you this fall!

The club continues its series of talks about space and all its wonders at the Belleville Campus, 2500 Carlyle Ave. All meetings will be held in the Main Complex, Room 1360, at 7 p.m. A viewing session will take place after each meeting, weather permitting. The schedule of events for fall 2013 is as follows: • Exoplanets is Thursday, Oct. 10. Stars provide the energy for life to exist on Earth, as well as exoplanets. This meeting will describe the conditions for a “Goldilocks Zone” to exist and the possible characteristics of the exoplanets. As more exoplanets are discovered, the ones in the “Goldilocks Zone” will be the major candidates for life.

• Luna, Our Moon, and Others is Tuesday, Oct. 29. Some people may be considered lunatics, while others are just plain geocentric.

This meeting will look at how humans explore space to find the next home and the search for life on a satellite. Learn about the last visit to Luna in 1972 by Eugene Cernan, an astronaut trained in geology, and Harrison Schmidt, a professional geologist. Hear about plans to return to Luna to establish a base.

• International Space Station is Tuesday, Nov. 19. Humans have made space the final frontier. This meeting will discuss the thrills, chills a n d s h r i l l s o f b e i n g i n space. The rigors of space have mostly become routine thanks to international cooperation; however, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano found that life in space can be full of hazards.

• Mars Exploration is Tuesday, Dec. 3. Humans have built a space station and have an itching to explore and colonize space.

This meeting will describe the next place we may call home, our nearest superior planet, Mars, and the robotic explorers sent there.

Discover plans to send humans to Mars in the next few decades and the need to first explore the surface for water – a necessity of life. Learn about the two active rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity, which are currently exploring different parts of Mars in search of water and life.

The sessions are free and open to the public. Contact Club Adviser Kyle Stumbaugh at kyle. stumbaugh@swic.edu or College Activities at 618-235-2700, ext.

Saint Louis Chamber Chorus to open season The Saint Louis Chamber Chorus opens its 58th season with a program inspired by the rich traditions of Greek poetry at 3 p.m. on Oct. 6. Spanning three millenia, much of the repertoire is comprised of musical settings of the works of ancient Greek poets and tragedians. As examples of the latter, the Chamber Chorus will perform a chilling version of “Seven Choruses from Euripides's Medea” composed by Virgil Thomson. Also, choral odes by Sophocles, written for “Antigone,” are given new life in commissions by Ned Rorem and Sasha Johnson Manning; each using an English translation by the Chorus's artistic director, Philip Barnes.

One focus of the concert will be the poetic legacy of Sappho. Her verse will be heard in arrangements

by Ned Rorem and Ildebrando Pizzetti, while Australian composer Clare Maclean offers a contemporary setting of Sappho's original ancient Greek lyrics. Maclean's work will be complemented by that of another Australian. Gordon Kerry's “Sappho's Reply,” with words by Rita Mae Brown, will receive its US premiere at this concert. The program will conclude with the Chamber Chorus performing a set of relatively recent Greek folk songs arranged by Sir Arnold Bax. In addition to the concert itself, there will be a pre-concert discussion of Greek poetry with Professor Carl Springer of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and Chamber Chorus artistic director Philip Barnes. The discussion will

begin at 2:30 P.M. and is free to all ticket holders.

Join the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus to hear “The Ancients Speak - Greek,” Sunday, October 6 at the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Parking is free. For more information about the concert, and tickets, call 636-4584343.

Kennedy to appear with SLSO Due to a scheduling conflict, soprano Christine Brewer will not be performing with the St. Louis Symphony May 9-11, 2014. The long-time Lebanon, Illinois resident and world-renowned vocalist will instead be in Chicago.

The concerts including Les Illuminations will not be reprogrammed; tenor Andrew Kennedy is now scheduled to perform the piece with the St. Louis Symphony. Kennedy last performed with the St. Louis Symphony in October of 2010, when he sang Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.

“Sometimes in this business, I wish I could be in two places at once, and it happened to me for the 2013/14 season,” says Brewer.

“I was scheduled to sing Britten's Les Illuminations with the St. Louis Symphony and David Robertson, but a conflicting offer came to me from the Lyric Opera of Chicago to sing the role of the Mother Abbess in a production of The Sound of Music.

Having sung that role as a student at Shawnee High School in Wolf Lake, Illinois and directed the show when I taught music in Marissa, Illinois, I have a deep connection to the role of that classic piece. I was torn, as I never dreamed I'd actually have another chance to sing the role

of the Mother Abbess, but David Robertson gratefully understood and supported taking the opportunity. I am extremely sad not to be singing with my hometown orchestra this coming season. I will miss working with David and all of my friends in the Orchestra, but I hope we will have many other seasons to work together!”

onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition, new songs are being included with the launch of the 2013 Tour. Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-fornote performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (I Want To Hold Your Hand, Hard Day’s Night, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be, Come Together, Hey Jude and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!

Following the release of his best selling new album, Blurred Lines, recording artist Robin Thicke has announced details of his highly anticipated Spring 2014 North American tour. The artist will be joined by special guests Jessie J and DJ Cassidy on all dates making this the hottest concert package of the spring. The tour will make 15 exclusive stops across North America and will kick off on February 21st in Atlanta, Georgia at the Fox Theatre, continuing through the spring (please see full tour routing below). Robin is teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity to offer fans some of the best seats in the house to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

These special tickets will be available exclusively at www.ticketsforcharity. com.

Tickets and special limited VIP packages are available for purchasenow. For additional tour information, please visit www. robinthicke.com. American Express® Cardmembers can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Saturday, September 14 at 10am local time through Thursday, September 19 at 10pm local time.

This past summer marked the debut of Robin Thicke’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Blurred Lines (Star Trak/Interscope Records). The collection debuted at #1 on Billboard Top 200 while, “ B l u r re d L i n e s , ” t h e s i n g l e , continued its 12-week reign on the Billboard Hot 100 chart making Robin the first artist to take the top spot on both lists since December 2012 and only the 17th act to earn the distinction in the past ten years.

“Blurred Lines” scored the highest audience ever recorded and broke records by climbing to #1 on 5 radio charts simultaneously (Top 40, Rhythm, Urban, Hot AC & Urban AC) – the first time this has ever been done by an artist. New York Magazine called the album, “A great record. Period,” while Rolling Stone said, “Robin Thicke sings, writes, produces, plays keyboard and even raps a little on his excellent sixth album.” The second single off of the album, “Give It 2 U” ft. Kendrick Lamar, is available now.

Robin Thicke has established himself as one of the most respected singer-songwriters in soul and R&B music today. The musician, composer, and actor, released his critically acclaimed debut album, A Beautiful World, in 2003 under the name “Thicke.”

Soon after, he came out with his breakt h ro u g h s e c o n d re l e a s e , 2006’s The Evolution Of Robin Thicke. Now on the way to double platinum status, Evolution’s mega hit “Lost Without U” became the #1 most played song in Urban Adult Contemporary BDS and topped four Billboard charts simultaneously.

The award-winning multiplatinum superstar returned to center stage in 2008 with Something Else, a joyful and modern tribute to the ‘70s soul and pop records that have inspired an extraordinary career. Revered by critics as one of the best soul albums in years, this ‘70s-inspired album dealt with racism, poverty, and love in the hits “Dreamworld,” “Magic,” and “The Sweetest Love.” In December of 2009 Robin released Sex Therapy. The title song was hailed by critics as “the sexiest song of the year.” Robin’s fifth

studio album, Love After War was released in December of 2011.

Apples and a whole lot more

By RENATA PIPKIN Of The Edge Jeff and Lisa Broom, owners of Broom Orchard in Carlinville, would like to invite you and your family to come out to their orchard, pick some apples, maybe find a pumpkin or two, and start a new family tradition.

Broom Orchard, consisting of 123 acres, was established in 1920

by Leonard Sooy. The orchard remained in the Sooy family until 1968 when it was purchased by Jeff’s parents, William and Joan Broom. William's father, William Stanford Broom, started growing apples in Marion County in 1920, making Jeff and Lisa third generation apple growers.

In 1972, William and Joan increased the orchard by five acres, bringing the total acreage to 128 acres, of which approximately 80 acres are currently used for fruitproducing trees. In the late 1970s, the emphasis was changed to retail apples sales, and in the 1980s, a cider press was purchased and the Apple Festival was created to promote you-pick-apples and a retail market. In 1990, the Pumpkin Festival was started to promote pumpkins along with a familyfriendly atmosphere.

In 1995, William and Joan sold

the orchard to Jeff and Lisa, who then built a new retail Farm Market and kitchen. Two years later, a pasteurizer was purchased for use in making cider. The pasteurizer is used in a process called “flash pasteurization" where the cider is brought to 160 degrees for eight to ten seconds to ensure great-tasting and safe cider.

In 2001, the 65-year-old packing shed was eliminated, and a pole barn with new coolers, office, storage and expanded kitchen was built.

“We’re a small, family-owned orchard, and we promote families to come out and just enjoy the surroundings, take in the harvest time,” said Lisa. “We have a lot of people that have come as children, and then they’ll bring their kids, and then they’ll be grandparents and bring those kids. The orchard seems to be a family tradition, and we’re very fortunate that they come back year after year. We try to cater to families that way.”

While the orchard is perhaps most known for its wide variety of apples (including Lodi, Ozark Gold, Gala, Honey Crisp, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Empire, Mutsu, Winesap, Braeburn, Scarlet Beauty and more) as well as their apple cider, they also grow and sell peaches, plums, blackberries, and

For The Edge

Broom Orchard in Carlinville offers a full afternoon of fun – and apples. pears. And of course, pumpkins.

Broom Orchard will host their 23rd Annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13. The Pumpkin Festival runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

both days, and it includes live entertainment, food, wagon rides, pony rides, face painting, bounce houses, and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch.

The festival kicks off on Saturday morning with The Great Pumpkin Chase, a leisurely, family-friendly 5K run. The race starts at 8:00 a.m., and participants can register before the race or on race day. The fee to participate is $20, and all proceeds are donated to the Carlinville Food Pantry.

“It’s just a nice little fall run,” said Lisa. “We have a lot of families that push strollers with their kids in them.”

On Saturday, Johnny Retro and Bongo Larry will be performing from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and on Sunday, FSR Acoustic will perform from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Kids will be able to enjoy the free bounce houses and get their faces painted, and for a small fee, they can take a wagon ride or a pony ride. Homemade caramel apples and cotton candy will be available, along with cider slush and hot mulled cider that are made at the orchard. On Sunday, there will also be a pumpkin cannon.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Carlinville Chapter FSA will be on hand to help with the concession stand as well as grilling lunch items such as pork burgers, pork chops and hot dogs. The pumpkin festival is one of the FSA’s big fundraisers.

What would a pumpkin festival be without a pick-your-own pumpkin patch? Visitors can take a wagon and go out to the patch and pick out their own pumpkin, which is then priced by using a pumpkinsizing bench, a table with holes of differing sizes. Each hole has its own assigned cost, and whichever hole a pumpkin slides through, that is the cost for the pumpkin. Most pumpkins in the patch will fall into

the $2 to $8 range.

And there are always the apples.

Several apple varieties will be available to choose from in October.

The second week of October usually sees about 8 varieties: Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Mutsu, Winesap, Fuji, Braeburn, Granny Smith, and Ida Red. There may even be a few Asian pears left, if supplies hold out.

Broom Orchard still sells their apples the old fashioned way: By the peck. Visitors can get them in quarter peck, half peck, peck, and bushel.

“We work very hard at producing a good, quality product...We rely on people being happy and satisfied and wanting to come back to the orchard year after year. We don’t do a lot of things, but the things we do, we want to do well,” Lisa said. “We don’t charge for parking or the playground or the pavilion. We are an orchard that sells fruit. We grow fruit. We make cider.”

The market sells many items in addition to seasonal fruit, including sweet cider, Amish-made apple butter, preserves, butters, no-sugar spreads, Illinois honey, popcorn, nuts, old-fashioned candy, baking supplies and fall décor.

Broom Orchard is located at 12803 Broom Road, Carlinville, IL 62626. They are open 7 days a week, Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sundays from Noon to 5:00 p.m., from July through December, or whenever the apples run out. Any apples left at that time are donated to the Elks Christmas baskets to help finish them up.

For more information about the orchard or the Pumpkin Festival, or if you would like information about a tour for a school group, call 217-854-3514 or email info@ broomorchard.com.

Religion Once-a-year Jews find warm embrace NEW YORK (AP) — You can search an interactive map to find synagogues that have last-minute seats at services. When you arrive, the temple's board members will greet you at the door. You can confess your sins via text, and your personal reflections can become part of the sermon. No knowledge of Hebrew? No problem. The rabbi will explain the prayers to you.

And if you're more comfortable outside the sanctuary, you can spend part of the holiday meditating or doing yoga instead.

Throughout the High Holy Days, which started Wednesday night, American Jewish leaders have been relentlessly lowering any barriers to participation, hoping fallen away Jews will feel so at home this Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur that they'll come back for good.

The effort goes beyond the most liberal streams of Judaism. Rabbi Steve Weil, a chief officer of the Orthodox Union, which represents more than 400 American synagogues, will lead what he calls an explanatory service at Congregation Keter Torah in Teaneck, N.J. It's one of several Orthodox synagogues across the country to offer these worship services for the curious and for longstanding members seeking a deeper understanding of the liturgy.

"The goal of our communities is to have tens of portals of entry which enable Jews of all backgrounds to engage their traditions," Weil said.

"The advantage you have — on Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur, the Days of Awe — people are willing to spend more time and devote more hours

to the prayer experience, so it gives you a certain opportunity that you may not have on a typical Shabbat morning."

Jewish leaders aren't alone in taking steps to attract the u n a ff i l i a t e d . A c c o rd i n g t o a study last year by Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, the number of Americans with no religious affiliation is on the rise, and most of the unaffiliated aren't actively seeking another religious home.

Clergy across faith traditions have responded with new programming and outreach to increase the comfort level for those hesitant to walk in the door. Evangelicals have been at the forefront of the trend, including building high-end coffee bars inside their churches and wearing Hawaiian shirts on the pulpit.

Within American Judaism, the Jewish New Year and the Day of Atonement a week later provide an opportunity like no other, when Jews with little formal connection to their faith are most likely to attend services out of nostalgia, family duty or a tentative desire to reconnect with their faith. Rabbi Shira Stutman, a leader of Sixth & I, a Washington congregation considered one of the most innovative in the country for reaching unaffiliated Jews, said she assumes that 15 percent to 20 percent of people at services aren't Jewish, but are non-Jewish spouses or spiritual seekers. Overall, few attendees will have a deep knowledge of Hebrew, she said.

"When the Jews in the pews had a better understanding of what was going on — a deeper connection to

what we would call 'tribal Judaism' — there was nowhere else they wanted to be but there," Stutman said. "Now, many of them couldn't articulate why they attend, beyond, 'This is what Jews do.'"

American synagogues generally require tickets — at a fee — for High Holy Day services. Birthright Israel, the nonprofit that offers young Jews free trips to Israel, has created an online map that guides young people to synagogues that have free or open seats.

Elsewhere, rabbis have been crowd-sourcing their sermons by posting questions on their Facebook pages and asking congregants to respond. Their posts could then be incorporated into the sermon.

"When you hear something relevant or familiar that speaks to you, it's much more likely to feel like this is a place where I belong. This is where I connect," said Adina Frydman, executive director of Synergy, the synagogue program at the UJAFederation of New York, who has been working on outreach with many congregations in the region.

Several synagogues from the liberal Reform movement and the centrist Conservative movement will stream their services live online.

Other congregations around the country are projecting prayers in large print on a screen at the front of the sanctuary, like subtitles on a foreign-language movie, or posting congregants' reactions on screen via text message or Tweet.

For other congregations, the goal is to provide a more meaningful experience. As Abby Pogrebin wrote

daily after police responded to a report of bullets found in a toilet.

After the district got questions and complaints, the principal told her she couldn’t pray on campus.

Rome’s historic center.

He said, “The church does not need the empty convents to be turned into hotels to earn money.

The empty houses are not ours. They are for the flesh of Christ, which are the refugees.”

Many convents started opening their doors to paying guests in the run-up to the Holy Year in 2000, when the religious and millennium celebrations drew 25 million visitors to Rome. The trend has spread throughout Italy with former religious housing being offered as guest houses for contemplative vacations.

Religion briefs Airline copilot says God spared him on 9/11 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A copilot who was bumped from flying one of the hijacked planes on 9/11 believes he’s living on borrowed time.

Steve Scheibner was a pastor in 2001, dividing his time between ministry and flying for American Airlines.

On Sept. 10, he volunteered to fly the next day’s Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles, but a more senior pilot bumped him from one of the flights that wound up being hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center in New York.

Scheibner believes God spared his life, but can’t say why the other pilot died instead.

As a Christian, Scheibner believes Jesus took his place by dying on the cross for his sins, so he says, “I know what it’s like to have somebody die in my place — not once, but twice.”

He now heads a ministry called Character Health.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A mother who was told she can no longer pray on the steps of her children’s high school in New Hampshire has returned, but is praying in silence.

the service that had been added over the years can be streamlined.

"They want to finish at a certain time," Beer said, "to have more time for learning and being with family."

The challenge for synagogues is to make the services as accessible as possible without alienating longtime members. Usually this means holding several kinds of services.

At Washington's Sixth & I, along with more traditional worship services, the synagogue organized a "New Year's Eve Party" with dinner and a band Wednesday night for about 180 people in their 20s and 30s. On Friday, the second day of Rosh Hashana, the synagogue plans a yoga and meditation retreat.

Rabbi Hayim Herring, a Minneapolis-based consultant who advises synagogues and nonprofits, is working with an Akron, Ohio, congregation that is taking a new approach to examining the Bible story of Abraham's willingness to obey God's directive to sacrifice his son Isaac. The synagogue is organizing a mock trial of Abraham.

"Every person's spirituality is idiosyncratic today. It doesn't mean anything goes, but we have to be open for a while, and not be so judgmental," Herring said. "If we don't up the appetite for risk, then we know what the result is going to be."

recently in the Jewish magazine The Tablet, "High Holiday services are a slog."

Rabbi Elie Kaunfer, a co-founder in 2001 of the pioneering Kehilat Hadar, an independent minyan, or prayer group, in New York, which has become a national model for vibrant worship, said Hadar had at one time included more explanation of the liturgy during High Holy Day services to make newcomers feel more welcome, and took longer breaks during Yom Kippur, when services can run from early morning to sunset. But Hadar leaders found the longer pauses and mid-service liturgy lessons actually sapped energy and emotion from the services and made it difficult to regain momentum, Kaunfer said.

This year, the pauses and talks will be brief.

"At a rock concert, in the middle of a song, if you stop and explain lyrics you kind of lose the rhythm. If you trust in the rhythms, there's a lot that could happen," Kaunfer said. "I think a lot of that education should happen outside the service. When you get to the service, it's too late."

But Cantor Bernard Beer, director of the Belz School of Jewish Music at Yeshiva University, said congregants at some Orthodox synagogues have sought a simplified, shorter service to allow time for individual or group study. The liturgy mostly can't be changed, but other parts of

"Salinger"

“Reclusive.” Is that an adjective, or is it actually part of J.D. Salinger ’s name? The word has been used so often to describe the famous writer, one could be forgiven for thinking it appears on his birth certificate.

But there’s obviously much more to the story of “reclusive author J.D. Salinger” than the way he withdrew from public view and publishing and spent much of his life in Cornish, N.H., where he was frequently pursued by avid fans. One of the more entertaining tidbits in “Salinger,” the exhaustive, exhausting and overly hyped new documentary by Shane Salerno, is the account of one of those fans, who made the pilgrimage and clearly felt he was owed more time than he was granted.

“I’m not a counselor,” Salinger said, finally. “I’m a fiction writer.”

It would have been enough if “Salinger” had merely explored that one idea: How much did this writer, after capturing the world’s attention with “The Catcher in the Rye,” owe us? Did he owe us a sequel, a novel every few years, or his presence on talk shows, with opinions on the issues of the day?

Did he “owe” us more than he gave, before his death in 2010 at the age of 91? It seems many felt that way.

But Salerno, until now best known as a screenwriter for “Armageddon” and “Savages,” spent nearly a decade researching Salinger for this project, which includes a 700-page book and a TV documentary. And he had enough material, clearly, for five different films: “Salinger and his Wartime Past,” “for example. “Salinger and his Women.” “Salinger and His Struggles With Fame.” Instead, he took a kitchensink approach, and while the film moves quickly for its 120 minutes, that approach blunts its impact.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing war images, thematic elements and smoking.”

RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

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

"Populaire"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Mad Men” meets “The Artist” in “Populaire,” a superbly crafted, finely acted but somewhat shallow retro rom-com about a young French secretary who, with the help of her highly persuasive boss, hammers her way to becoming one of the fastest typists on the planet.

This impressive debut feature from writer-director Regis Roinsard is boosted by terrific lead turns from Romain Duris and Deborah Francois (“The Page Turner”), as well as some stunning old-school cinematography from Guillaume Schiffman of “The Artist.” Still, there’s something formulaic and all too overtly crowd-pleasing about this sepia-toned tale of female empowerment and lost love, making for a rather soulless affair.

Set in the rain-swept towns of Lower Normandy in 1958, the film makes its throwback status heard loud and clear from the get-go, with opening credits (directed by Alexandre Courtes, “Asylum Blackout”) straight out of a Billy Wilder movie and decors and a color palette that would please the likes of both Alfred Hitchcock and “Mad Men’s” Matthew Weiner. Indeed, it’s easy to spend most of the movie simply gawking at the sets (by Sylvie Olive) and costumes (by Charlotte David), so Roinsard, along with co-writers Daniel Presley and Romain Compingt, deserves credit for weaving an amusing intrigue that never lets up until the closing half-hour, when his premise starts to grow old.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “a scene of sexuality.”

RUNNING TIME: 111 minutes.

suburbs. The national discussion of mass shootings and gun control stands to heighten the impact of director Alexandre Moors’ head-turning debut, which is driven by performances of brooding intensity from Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond.

Following a grainy montage of news and surveillance video accompanied by traumatized 911 calls reporting shootings in the D.C. area, the story opens amid the lush island vegetation of Antigua in the Caribbean. A teenage boy, Lee (Richmond), watches in mute fury as his mother leaves their home to take work elsewhere, saying she’ll be back for him. But as her absence stretches on, Lee grows bored, frustrated and then desperate, seemingly attempting to drown himself in the rough surf.

He is rescued and taken in by John (Washington), a visiting American whose three young daughters have been removed from their country in violation of a custody agreement. With no word from Lee’s mother, John eventually takes him back to Tacoma, Wash.

From early in their relationship, John begins drilling his life-is-unfair views into Lee, whose absence of a father figure renders him highly susceptible to the older man’s influence. The bottomless pit of John’s anger becomes steadily more apparent back in the U.S., as he takes Lee on a tour of the middle-class suburban neighborhood of his former life. He talks of the evil that lives there, the ghosts left behind, and the vampires like his ex-wife, who sucked him dry. Since their return from Antigua, she has taken out a restraining order against him and removed their children to parts unknown. This gnaws at him like a cancer.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing violent content, language and brief drug use.”

Running time: 93 minutes.

"Thanks for Sharing"

With a subject as specific as sex addiction, comparisons to 2011’s “Shame” are inevitable. That dark drama was a deepprobe character study, intensely focused on a man consumed by his cravings.

By contrast, “Thanks for Sharing” is an ensemble piece juggling humor with sober observation of three men intent on overcoming their dependence on the pleasures of the flesh.

Making a technically polished directing debut, screenwriter Stuart Blumberg (“The Kids Are All Right”) has in essence crafted the date-night version of the sexaholic’s confessional.

While it doesn’t crawl under the skin the way “Shame” did, “Thanks for Sharing” probably will prove more widely appealing to audiences, with a name cast and a glossy portrait of New York as a playground of visual stimuli.

Captured in crisp advertising imagery and singing colors by cinematographer Yaron Orbach, it’s a metropolitan catwalk, a promo-reel for romance and desire. Gorgeous women glide along the streets, pretty young couples make out on the High Line, and every billboard, bus and taxi display explodes with sensuality.

All of that keeps “Thanks for Sharing” watchable and mildly entertaining, even if it’s 15-20 minutes too long. What stops the film from being more satisfying, however, is a problem with the way the central character, Adam (Marc Ruffalo), takes shape.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and some strong sexual content.”

RUNNING TIME: 112 minutes.

"Prisoners"

Parenting involves countless mundane decisions — dozens a day. But as any parent knows, the potential for tragedy stemming from a wrong decision is never far from the surface of the mind. What if they go out and get hit by a car? What if I look away and they drown in the current? What if they get

kidnapped?

No wonder the movies get so much mileage out of missingchildren tales. But few — very few — handle it with the skill that director Denis Villeneuve and a terrific cast led by Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal bring to “Prisoners,” a suspense thriller that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Jackman, we all know, is not only talented but so darned likable that it’s hard for him to break out of that ever-charming persona. But here, in some of his best work to date, he manages it — and surpasses last year’s Oscar-nominated performance in “Les Miserables” — as a grief-stricken, panicked father who succumbs to his basest impulses in a race to find his young daughter’s captors.

And Gyllenhaal, in a less flashy but just as compelling performance, brings new depth to the well-worn role of brooding, driven detective. To the film’s credit, we don’t get much backstory on this character. A few small hints are all we need; the actor’s textured performance does the rest.

Jackman is Keller Dover, a carpenter in a Pennsylvania town, and a survivalist who believes diligent preparation is the key to avoiding disaster. His basement is packed with supplies.

But that won’t help him on the cold and gray Thanksgiving evening when his young daughter and her friend go missing.

It’s one of those quick parenting decisions — OK girls, you can go outside. Later, when no one can find them, mild concern on the part of two happy families celebrating the holiday escalates into fear, then full-blown panic, as an older sibling recalls that an RV had been parked, creepily, on the street, and there was someone inside.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “disturbing violent content including torture, and language throughout.”

RUNNING TIME: 153 minutes.

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

"Enough Said"

Beholding the late James Gandolfini doing a lovely job in a change-of-pace role significantly intensifies the already funny/ sad aspects of “Enough Said,” an engaging comic romance set amid the minefields that imperil starting up mid-life relationships. The title notwithstanding, writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s look at a 50-ish divorced mother with a daughter about to leave home is never at a loss for words, many of them quite amusing, making the film a leading contender for best girls’ night movie of the season. For their part, men will enjoy watching Gandolfini in a relaxed, self-effacing, regular guy performance.

Employing to her advantage a more traditional story structure than is her norm, Holofcener builds her snappy social comedy around a key piece of information that her heroine doesn’t know, that the guy she’s beginning to date is the muchdisparaged ex of her new best friend. This sort of trick has provided the trigger for rich farcical doings going back at least as far as Shakespeare, and Holofcener uses it as a springboard to look at a raft of self-absorbed, often myopic LA Westside types who have it together in some ways but not in others.

Almost everyone here is divorced with an ex living nearby and one kid who’s about to fly the coop for college. Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a massage therapist who lugs her portable table to her clients’ homes and is preparing emotionally for the looming moment when her smart daughter Ellen (Tracey Fairway) heads East for school. A crowded cocktail party provides a convenient way to start stirring the pot, as well as for the writer to show her knack for lively, acerbic banter, much of it coming from Eva, who early on decides that there’s no one there she finds attractive. The man she’s just met, Albert (Gandolfini), agrees.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude and sexual content, comic violence, language and partial nudity.”

This publicity photo released by Roadside Attractions shows Josh Gad, bottom right, and Alecia Moore in the film "Thanks for Sharing," directed by Stuart Blumberg.

Josh Gad swoops into Hollywood

BY SANDY COHEN Associated Press BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Josh Gad might not look like one of the most happening guys in Hollywood. He goes all but unnoticed on a recent Sunday morning as he walks into the lobby of Hotel Sofitel wearing shorts with a camp shirt and a hint of scruff on his face.

But with “Jobs” in theaters and “Thanks for Sharing” opening Friday, plus an upcoming TV show with Billy Crystal and the lead in a Sam Kinison biopic among several other projects, it’s like Gad rode the momentum of his Tony-nominated starring role in Broadway’s “Book of Mormon” right into the Hollywood spotlight.

The 32-year-old, who knew at age 4 that he wanted to be an entertainer, says he’s so grateful for the success — which coincided with the birth of his first child — that he’s found a new level of peace.

“My wife grounds me. My daughter grounds me. I have a lot to be grateful for outside of work that I think puts me at peace in life,” he said. “And it allows you to do better work. I’m no longer chasing. I feel like when you stop chasing and you can just relax, take things one step at a time, it all works out."

Here’s a look at how things are working out for him right now: • “Thanks for Sharing”: In this ensemble story, Gad plays a sex addict in denial about his condition. Busted after rubbing up against an innocent woman on a subway, he lands in a 12-step group where an unlikely friendship helps his recovery.

Writer-director Stuart Blumberg said he knew Gad was his guy after seeing “Book of Mormon.”

“When Josh read the script, he goes, ‘So, have you been following me around?”’

Blumberg said. “I didn’t know anything about his personal life, but sometimes you

write a part and then you meet just the person to play it.”

• “Jobs”: Gad plays Steve Wozniak in this unauthorized Steve Jobs biopic.

Even Wozniak, not a big fan of the film, appreciated the performance, saying he “thought the acting throughout was good.”

Gad didn’t get to meet the computer p i o n e e r b e f o re f i l m i n g b u t h a s s i n c e “started an email chain” with the Apple cofounder. The actor approached the real-life role “with great care and great respect” and is now doing the same for the...

• Sam Kinison biopic: Gad won’t say much about the film set for production next spring, other than he’s already begun preparing for the Larry Charles-directed biopic.

• Billy Crystal TV show: Charles is also set to direct the pilot of FX’s “Comedians,” which starts shooting in early 2014, Gad said.

“I really had no interest in going back to

TV right now,” said the actor, who wrote, executive produced and starred in NBC’s “1600 Penn.” “I’m very happy with my film career and where it’s going and... then I found out Billy Crystal is attached.

“Billy Crystal is one of my idols, literally one of my idols,” Gad continued. “I probably saw ‘City Slickers’ 10 times in the theaters.”

• “Frozen”: Gad voices a snowman in this animated Disney film set for release in November.

“It’s an opportunity for my daughter to see something that I can be a part of,” he said.

• “Wedding Ringer” with Kevin Hart: Gad just started shooting this comedy, playing a groom who hires Hart’s character to serve as his best man.

• A sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito’s “Twins”: Gad and his college buddy Ryan Vincent just submitted their first draft of “Triplets” to Universal.

"Austenland" offers little beyond the trailer

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Believe it or not, I have to choose the words of my introduction here quite carefully. In 2007, you see, I also had to ruminate on the merits of a film (two, actually) that heavily weighed itself on the lasting success of Jane Austen's novels - all bloody six of them, but mainly "Pride & Prejudice," of course - which is still an enigma to me in some ways. Not being a teenage girl, I often lack the insight into why the Elizabeth Bennett/ Mr. Darcy relationship is so keenly beloved by our fairer sex.

But I still try to understand that devotion and am no stranger to the tale. It isn't by Austen's book, though. I've found that to be very difficult to chew through. Instead,

I've relied upon the filmed versions starring both Colin Firth (television, BBC) and Keira Knightley (feature, Focus) to get me beyond a layman's working knowledge.

"Austenland" fictionalizes my quest and turns it into something all-consuming.

T h i r t y - y e a r- o l d J a n e H a y e s (Keri Russell) is a big fan of Mr. Darcy. She has his name stenciled on the walls of her apartment.

She wears T-shirts adorned with his likeness(es). She even rooms with a life-size cardboard cutout of Firth in his notoriously seethrough white blouse (until a jealous boyfriend punches in the face of it). Her sickness over the forlorn love story leads her to a vacation package in London that exceeds her ability in real life to express her devotion to "Pride & Prejudice." It brings her to

Austenland, a fully immersive, week-long adventure in period clothing, manor house living, and fanciful flirting with a house full of noble bachelors and hunky servants. Run by an enterprising, no-nonsense lady (Jane Seymour), Austenland is kind of like summer camp for wealthy and lonely bookish girls.

Jane is dubbed Ms. Erstwhile as she embarks on her dream holiday with two other participants, Miss Charming (Jennifer Coolidge, especially hilarious as her typically ditzy American self) and Lady Heartwright (Georgia King). Together, the three are shown how to use manners, f o r m a l a d d re s s , a n d g r a c e t o participate in activities as varied as quail hunting, bonnet-making, and learning to play fourhanded whist with the primary

b a c h e l o r- a c t o r s h i re d b y t h e organization: bookish Mr. Nobley (JJ Feild), roguish Captain East (Ricky Whittle), and the colorful Colonel Andrews (James Callis).

Looking for love, and practically guaranteed at least the illusion of it by the park's brochure, Jane tries both diligently and even a little pitifully to find it. Her closest encounters are with Nobley and the hunky stableman, Martin (Bret McKenzie), who runs hot and cold toward her by secretly bending the rules about fraternizing with the guests when they're not socializing with the actors.

Imagine him as a British version of Patrick Swayze's character in Dirty Dancing. He puts up a good front, but we all soon realize that nobody puts Jane Erstwhile in a corner.

Austenland is a one-joke movie

October 3, 2013

from writer-director Jerusha Hess (based on Shannon Hale's novel), one half of the husband-and-wife team behind the 2004 indie hit Napoleon Dynamite. The same quirks that made that film so much fun are missing here in more serious romantic comedy fare. By film's end, we're seeing Jane start to come into her own as an adult entity and the plot is hinging upon Coolidge's daffy form of playacting and the unintentionally hilarious lyrics of Nelly's Hot in Herre for punch lines. I liked the movie, but wished it delivered a little more to chew on than what I could see in the trailer.

"Austenland" runs 97 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and innuendo.

I give this film one and a half stars out of four.

The Arts Kemper Museum kicks off new season For The Edge This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum will present Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks, the first major solo museum exhibition to survey the career of this Chicago-born, New York-based artist.

Message to Our Folks is the first of four shows featured in the 2013-14 academic year opened on Sept. 20 as did American Places: Painting the Landscape in the Nineteenth Century.

Next spring, the museum will present In the Aftermath of Trauma: Contemporary Video Installations, featuring works by Yael Bartana, Phil Collins, Alfredo Jaar, Amar Kanwar and Vandy Rattana. Also in the spring will be On the Thresholds of Space-Making: Shinohara Kazuo and His Legacy, which examines the work of this influential Japanese architect.

• Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks Ebsworth Gallery Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Curated in St. Louis by Meredith Malone, associate curator, Kemper Art Museum.

In artworks spanning 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. Frequently referencing iconic historical, intellectual and cultural figures, Johnson combines the signs and symbols of Afrocentrism, Afrofuturism, Hip-Hop and other movements with a more personal vocabulary of images and materials reflecting his own youth and artistic development.

• American Places: Painting the Landscape in the Nineteenth Century Garen Gallery Curated by Karen Butler, associate curator, Kemper Art Museum.

Drawn from the Kemper Art Museum and other St. Louis-area collections, American Places explores a range of practices and approaches in 19th-century landscape painting. The exhibition features approximately 30 works by Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Cole, Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman and Charles Ferdinand Wimar, among others. From New England villages to southern bayous, from the Delaware River to the Indian territories, these artists capture the dramatic transformations wrought by social change and modernization, as well as the corresponding transformation of cultural identities.

Ebsworth Gallery Curated by Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator, Kemper Art Museum Exploring both the experience and lingering effects of traumatic events, In the Aftermath of Trauma showcases the work of five video artists from around the world: Yael Bartana, Phil Collins, Alfredo Jaar, Amar Kanwar and

Vandy Rattana.

Working in a semidocumentary format, these artists combine fictional and historical elements to engage a range of traumatic events, from the Holocaust, the Vietnam War and German reunification to the post-9/11 war on terror and the ongoing conflicts between India and Pakistan. Confounding expectations about truth and reality, fact and artifice, history and

memory, they investigate the nature of trauma but also seek distance from it, both questioning and challenging conventional notions of representation and closure.

• On the Thresholds of Space-Making: Shinohara Kazuo and His Legacy Garen Gallery Curated by Seng Kuan, assistant professor of architectural history, Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts Though considered one of Japan’s greatest postwar architects, Shinohara Kazuo (19252006) remains somewhat of a cult figure, best known for poetic, purist homes that stand in counterpoint to the technological optimism of contemporaries like the Metabolists.

Curated by Seng Kuan, assistant professor of architecture in Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, On the Thresholds of Space-Making will feature original drawings, sketches and other archival material on loan from the Shinohara Kazuo Collection—much of which has never been publicly displayed before—as well as photographs and models of Shinohara’s houses and a selection of contemporary projects that demonstrate his lasting influence.

The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, part of Washington University's Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, is committed to furthering critical thinking and visual literacy through a vital program of exhibitions, publications and accompanying events. The museum dates back to 1881, making it the oldest art museum west of the Mississippi River. Today it boasts one of the finest university collections in the United States.

The Kemper Art Museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. first Friday of the month. The museum is closed Tuesdays.

The Arts

For The Edge

Art enthusiasts view a paintings by artist Winifred Godfrey.

Artist's work on display at Lewis and Clark Community College For The Edge Lewis and Clark Community College’s Hatheway Cultural Center Art Gallery will soon feature the rich, resonating paintings of American artist Winifred Godfrey.

The retrospective exhibit, “Winifred Godfrey: 40 Years of Painting,” will feature oil and watercolor paintings, drawings and lithographs, including figurative work, paintings which depict the distinctive textiles of the Mayan people of the Guatemalan Highlands, and floral pieces.

“What interests me primarily in painting floral forms is the delicate and temporary quality of the blossom,” Godfrey said. “Although the canvases are painted realistically, the flower is the starting point for an abstract study of the luminosity and transparency of the individual petal. I try to accomplish this through the magnification of the plant form itself in a tight design, and make a dynamic spatial relationship of this form with the rectangle of the canvas.”

The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through Saturday, Oct. 12. On Oct. 12, a closing reception will be held from 3-6 p.m.

“The college is grateful to Winifred Godfrey for providing us the opportunity to organize an exhibition that covers four decades of her work,” said Jim Price, professor of art, history and culture at Lewis and Clark. “It is a unique opportunity for people to see the amazing breadth and depth of her art. This is a show that will enhance the offerings of the college and increase our perception of what excellence is.”

The exhibit of Godfrey’s art, which graces the Lewis and Clark’s Godfrey campus in both the Templin Nursing Building and the Trimpe ATC, will provide local residents

and art patrons from the Chicago area with the opportunity to see more than 100 pieces of her extensive work spanning four decades. This is the first time a display of Godfrey’s work of this scope and size has ever been exhibited in the United States.

Godfrey brings a decidedly 20th century look to the long tradition of floral and figurative painting. Her work is often described as photorealistic, although her interest is more with color and composition. Working with common subjects but presented large, Godfrey’s art provides a fresh view of the intricate shapes, texture and translucency of flowers. Her figurative work is presented in a unique, life-sized format.

Born in Philadelphia and raised on Chicago’s south side, Godfrey received a Bachelor of Science in Art and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin. Her artwork is included in many private, corporate and museum collections and has been exhibited throughout North America.

Among Godfrey’s more notable exhibitions are onewoman shows at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Penn., the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia, Penn., the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C., the Rahr-West Art Museum in Manitowoc, Wis., and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass.

Godfrey’s work was presented with that of Georgia O’Keefe and Marc Chagall at an exhibit of 20th century flower paintings at the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She has also exhibited at the Chicago Botanic Garden, where she won the Flora Exhibition Award of Excellence. Other awards to her credit are the State of Illinois Library Competition and First Prize out of 4,500 floral entries in The Artist’s Magazine Floral

October 3, 2013

Competition. More recently she was awarded the Municipal Art League’s Award of Excellence for her entire career and body of work.

This spring Godfrey exhibited her “MAYAN PROCESSION” at the Chicago Cultural Center in the Renaissance Court Gallery. In the last several years she has been working on a series of figurative paintings of highland indigenous of Guatemala. Each canvas depicts a different village and costume. There are currently 14 life-size oils that are exhibited in sequence and called “MAYAN PROCESSION.” “In the early eighties, Guatemala began to have enormous political problems that had a direct and devastating effect on the very groups that I found so beautiful and compelling,” Godfrey said. “Following the information about the political situation in Guatemala made me want, all the more, to say something about these indigenous people. My intentions changed from seeking to record an impression of something ancient and beautiful to a desire to educate others about the potential devastation of a living culture that preserves one of the only true links to our pre-Columbian past.”

Along with painting flowers, Godfrey plans to finish four more Mayan pieces to complete the series. The exhibit has actual textiles, photos and other educational material to accompany the paintings. A unique addition to the exhibit is a sawdust carpet called an “Alfombra” which is a special tradition in Guatemala before processions. The “MAYAN PROCESSION” has been exceptionally well received in various museums and educational institutions throughout the country.

The Arts Artistic adventures "My Fair Lady" to close season at STAGES Hailed as one of the greatest musicals of all time, My Fair Lady (now 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."

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.

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. With Brandon Davidson (Freddie Eynsford-Hill) who returns to STAGES after just appearing in Legally Blonde, The Musical and previously appearing in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Dining Delights For precision cooking, fire up the cooler

By W. WAYT GIBBS Associated Press When you head off to the shore, the woods, or a tailgate party at the stadium, you don’t have to settle for preservative-filled hot dogs or overcooked burgers.

Live a little, and take along a few inch-thick strip steaks, or maybe some fresh salmon or chicken fillets.

Rest easy, because cooking the meat to perfection will be a snap.

And the best tool for the job is the very container you’ll use to carry the food: a big, insulated ice chest.

You’ll also want to pack a digital thermometer — and a blowtorch, if you have one.

W h e n re l a x i n g o u t d o o r s , w e ’ re i n n o h u r r y. B u t c o o k i n g o v e r t h e i n t e n s e h e a t o f a f i re o r g r i l l i s unforgiving; time things wrong by just a minute or two, and the window of opportunity for a perfectly mediumrare steak or a just-done salmon fillet will have closed.

As long as you have plenty of water and a way to heat it, however, you have a better alternative: transform that insulated cooler from an improvised fridge into an improvised hot water bath for cooking your food. Then you can cook your meat the way high-end chefs do, or sous vide, as they say in the restaurant world.

I realize that this idea strikes some people as funky, but it’s simple.

Here’s how it works. You fill the cooler with hot water. You place your meat in a sealed plastic bag. Add the bagged meat to the cooler, then walk away. The hot water slowly, evenly, perfectly cooks the meat to your desired doneness.

First, a few guidelines. The cooler and meat should be warmed to room temperature before you start. To m a i n t a i n t h e t e m p e r a t u re d u r i n g c o o k i n g , p l a n o n using about 8 quarts of water per steak or fillet, and dump in water that is a good 15 F warmer than the final temperature you want the center of the meat to achieve.

The recipe below lists final target temperatures for several good options.

During the entire cooking time, the food stays safely sealed in plastic bags, which lock in the cooking juices and keep out the water and anything that might be living on the walls of the ice chest.

Though the meat will take longer to cook in the bath than it would on the grill, that gives you time to hang

out with friends and family. And as long as you don’t use water that is too hot, it is almost impossible to overcook the food.

Just make sure, for safety’s sake, that you use whole cuts (no ground meat, such as hamburger or sausage) and that the food gets eaten within four hours of putting it into the water.

No matter how hot the water is, it won’t sear the meat. That’s where the blowtorch comes in. Torches fueled by MAP or propylene gas burn more cleanly than those that run on butane or propane.

Sweep the tip of the flame across the surface of the meat in quick, even strokes until an appetizing brown crust forms.

The interior will still be done to perfection, virtually edge to edge. Season with some flaky salt and melted b u t t e r, a n d y o u ’ l l c o m p l e t e l y f o r g e t t h a t y o u ’ r e roughing it.

COOKING MEAT SOUS VIDE IN A COOLER If you have time to brine the salmon in advance, you can refrigerate it for 3 to 5 hours in a mixture of 4 1/4 cups water, 4 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar.

Start to finish: 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours (varies depending on thickness and variety of meat) Servings: Two 1.1-pound (500 grams) beef strip steaks OR 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) boneless chicken breast OR 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) fillets of salmon, halibut or black cod 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil 2 tablespoons butter Flaked sea salt Drain and wipe down a large, insulated cooler, then let it come to room temperature. Bring the meat to room temperature as well.

Select a target final temperature for the meat.

For beef strip or rib-eye steak — 144 F for medium, 133 F for medium-rare, 129 F for rare For beef filet — 144 F for medium, 127 F for medium-rare, 122 for rare For chicken breast — 140 F for medium, and hold at this temperature for at least 20 minutes to pasteurize Salmon fillet — 113 F for rare, 126 F for firm

Once you select your target final temperature, add 1 5 F t o t h a t . T h i s i s t h e t e m p e r a t u re t o w h i c h y o u m u s t h e a t y o u r w a t e r. F o r e x a m p l e , t o c o o k a b e e f strip steak medium rare (133 F), the water should be heated to 15 F above that, or 148 F. Heat 8 quarts of water per piece of meat to the temperature you calculated, dump it into the cooler, and close the lid tightly.

Wash your hands well with soap. Place each steak, breast or fillet in an individual zip-close plastic bag.

Add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to each bag.

It is important to remove as much air as possible from each bag so that it does not float and the water can transmit heat to every part of the food. Before sealing the bags, open the cooler.

One at a time, hold each bag by its open end and slowly lower it into the water until the water level is just below the seal. The water will push the air out of the bag.

S e a l t h e b a g t i g h t l y. T h e s e a l e d b a g s h o u l d s i n k .

R e p e a t w i t h t h e re m a i n i n g b a g s o f f o o d . S p a c e t h e food in the bottom of the cooler so that water can circulate easily around each bag.

Close the cooler lid firmly, and cook until the meat warms to the target temperature. Expect inch-thick steaks to reach medium-rare in 50 to 60 minutes; salmon fillets of that thickness may take only 20 m i n u t e s . C h i c k e n b re a s t m a y re a c h 1 4 0 F i n 3 0 t o 4 0 m i n u t e s , b u t m u s t b e h e l d a t t h a t t e m p e r a t u re o r h i g h e r f o r a t l e a s t 2 0 m i n u t e s m o re i n o rd e r t o pasteurize them.

Remove the meat from the bags and place it on a rack or baking sheet.

If you want to sear the surface of the meat, sweep the flame of a blowtorch over each side in a series of quick, even passes, or place it on a very hot grill until browned.

Season generously with salt and serve immediately.

Dining Delights Amateurs are giving extreme caking a try PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If you’re planning to bake a cake for your child’s upcoming birthday party, you might want to ask yourself one question: “What would the Cake Boss do?”

Because if you think a basic sheet cake and candles are all you need, you clearly haven’t been paying attention. Extreme caking has come to the home cook, fueled partly by TV shows showcasing crazy confections, and partly by boastful amateur bakers eager to strut their sugary stuff on social media.

Shows like “Ace of Cakes,” “Cake Boss” and various spinoffs tempt viewers with stunning visions of creations closer to art than dessert.

They build cityscapes, sea monsters and dragons — all sculpted like statues in three dimensions. Amateurs follow suit, posting photos of their creations to Twitter and Reddit, and the more elaborate the cakes are, the more popular they become.

This helps explain why once esoteric prograde tools and ingredients for creating elaborately embellished cakes — not to mention classes on how to use all those toys — are big sellers today.

In Philadelphia’s Italian Market, kitchen

supply store Fante’s has been teaching cake decorating to amateurs for at least 30 years.

The supplies they sell and classes they offer are constant indicators of cake trends. During the early ‘80s it was marzipan and fancy flowers; today it’s 3-D and fondant, an icing that can be sculpted.

“There was a huge shift as soon as the TV shows came out,” says Nina Rose Pelc, an instructor at Fante’s. “I’ve seen some threetiered, five-tiered cakes — that could be wedding cakes — for 3-year-olds’ birthday parties.”

According to Lynn Sorensen, co-owner of Kitchen Krafts — a website that sells baking tools and materials — the number of vendors selling specialty tools and ingredients for building these cakes has increased as demand for them has risen.

She says the cakes people want to build can change by the week, depending on popular movies or events. When the royal baby was born, for example, Sorensen said people wanted decorative crowns.

The Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro, said in a phone interview that he’s happy to have

raised the cake-decorating bar.

“I’m a proponent of people making those kinds of cakes, trying to make the cakes that I make,” Valastro says. “At the end of the day, the reason I became a baker is that when you finish a cake and you step away, there’s a feeling inside. You’re like, ‘Wow!’ And I want to give that feeling to other people.”

When Joshua Orvis, a research scientist from Tulsa, Okla., started getting into extreme caking along with his wife, it was for their son’s third birthday.

“He said, ‘I want an Angry Birds cake’ and we thought, ‘Well, how do we do that?”’ Orvis says.

He searched Google Images for Angry Birds cakes, unsure of what would turn up.

Hundreds of colorful cakes tiled his screen depicting the game’s scenes and characters in varying levels of complexity.

“Then we found out you can get fondant and just make whatever you want to make,” Orvis says. “Like a kid with Play-Doh, we just sculpted shapes out of it.”

The Angry Birds cake was a success. The Orvises have since sculpted a variety of special

cakes for their four young children: one of Pingu, the clay-mation Swiss-British penguin, one of a “Star Wars” scene, and two of cars.

The most recent cake was a Pagani Zonda R race car for which Orvis used traditional cake, Rice Krispies Treats, and fondant for the body paneling.

The Orvises find the cake-making process rewarding, not just for the joy it brings their children, but also for the creative outlet.

“Both of our jobs are not very artistic, but we both think that we’re relatively artistic people,” Orvis says. “It’s a fun thing to do together.”

Unfortunately, not every foray into elaborate cake making goes so well. Katie Lewis, a 32year-old web designer from Washington, D.C., has given it up entirely.

When a friend asked her to make a cake for his wedding, Lewis had a few elaborate cakes under her belt. There was a gory fondant chest cavity with a red velvet heart for one Halloween, and a tasty alien head for another.

But now she’d entered the big leagues: a threetiered, three-dimensional, Mario Brothersthemed wedding cake.
