D r a c u l a For The Edge Widely regarded as one of the greatest horror movies of all time, the classic 1931 film “Dracula” – starring the iconic Bela Lugosi – will be shown at the Wildey Theatre on Saturday, October 18 and Bela Lugosi Jr. (the son of Dracula himself) will be on hand to tell stories about his father, answer questions and sign autographs. Hosted by the Friends of the Wildey Theatre, the event is called “Interview with the Vampire’s Son” and will feature two showings, a matinee at 2:00 p.m. and an evening showing at 7:00 p.m., both on October 18. Guests will not only have the rare opportunity to see the classic film as they’ve never seen it before, on the Wildey’s big screen, but can also meet the son of the legendary Bela Lugosi, and will receive appropriately themed treats. Tickets are just $15 and can be purchased online at www. WildeyTheatre.com or by calling 618-307-1750. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. for the 2:00 p.m. showing and at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:00 p.m. showing. Movie Trivia will take place at 6:30 p.m. for prizes. The event is appropriately sponsored

by Saksa Funeral Homes and the Edwardsville Oral Surgery and Implant Center, Steven Hyten, DMD. Please no garlic or wooden stakes! A native of Hungary, Lugosi first appeared as Count Dracula on Broadway in a 1927 adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel. This performance led to a series of character actor roles for the new Hollywood talkies and would eventually lead to his casting in the 1931 Universal “Dracula.” The film defined the horror genre and introduced a much more dashing and charismatic Count portrayed by Lugosi. Dubbed the “King of Horror” Lugosi would appear in dozens of films over the course of the next 25 years. He died of a heart attack in 1956 at the age of 73. Lugosi’s only child, Bela Lugosi Jr., an attorney in California, continues to be an advocate for actor’s rights. The lawsuit, Lugosi v. Universal Pictures paved the way for the creation of the California Celebrities Rights Act. All proceeds from “Interview with the Vampire’s Son” will benefit the Wildey Theatre, a city-owned community performing arts theater located at 252 N. Main Street in Downtown Edwardsville, Ill.

The Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce's Halloween parade always brings out a lively cast of characters.
Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce's Halloween parade steps off at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 31 By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge
T
he Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce’s Halloween parade is one of the community highlights of the year. This year’s parade is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 31 and the theme, FREAKY Friday! is sure to inspire some freakishly, cool floats for the parade.
More than 100 entries, including six area marching bands, participated in last year’s parade, and the Chamber is expecting another great turnout for this year’s parade. Parade registration for businesses and organizations wanting to participate in the parade is going on now. Complete registration information as well as sponsorship information is available on the Chamber’s Web site at www.edglenchamber. com. The Halloween parade launches from Lincoln Middle School’s parking lot in Edwardsville and travels along West Street to St. Louis Street. It then turns onto Main Street where it heads north and ends at the Eden Church parking lot. Parade floats will be judged during the parade as they approach the grandstand area on Main Street. Edwardsville/Glen Carbon

On the Edge of the Weekend
Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Desiree Bennyhoff noted that the judging takes place during the parade that evening to allow the floats to be viewed in all their glory. “Local businesses and organizations invest a great deal of funding and teamwork into creating these floats, and many floats feature intricate details and lighting best displayed – and judged – after dark,” she said. This year’s float category winners and the grand champion will be announced in the Nov. 3 edition of the Edwardsville Intelligencer. Photos of the winning entries will run in the Nov. 8 edition. In addition, spectators can vote on their “Fan Favorite” from among the top 15 floats judged. To vote, go to www.edglenchamber. com on Nov. 1. The winner will be announced on the Chamber’s Facebook page after voting concludes. The Halloween parade is especially popular with children because parade participants toss candy out as they pass by. This, of course, means safety must be kept in mind. “Safety is always of utmost concern throughout the Halloween parade. We ask that spectators enjoy the parade from a safe distance and refrain from entering the streets for any reason,” Bennyhoff emphasized. The Halloween parade is made possible each year through the many individuals who assist
October 9, 2014
with planning the parade and volunteering that evening. The City of Edwardsville Police officers and Ed/Glen Chamber volunteers are visible throughout the parade route and also assist with crowd control to ensure a safe and successful event. Bennyhoff emphasized that while the Halloween Parade is a Chamber event, its success wouldn’t be possible without the city of Edwardsville’s support. “The city works with us without fail year after year to coordinate security, traffic control and street clean up afterward,” Bennyhoff said. “The city of Edwardsville supports this community tradition each year, and we appreciate every city employee who contributes to making this event such a success. We could not bring this parade to life without them.” Bennyhoff also pointed out that there is no rain date for the Halloween Parade for numerous reasons. “It may seem like moving the Halloween parade to another date due to rain would be easy, but in fact it is not. Coordinating the Halloween parade involves a lot of people, organizations and expenses. For example, closing down the parade route for the evening means coordinating the closing of several city streets as well as a state highway, which requires special permitting,” Bennyhoff said. “There are a lot of moving parts that would need to be re-organized, along with additional expenses to be absorbed, that just
aren’t feasible.” Over the years, Halloween spectators have sat through the parade in rain, very chilly temperatures and even snow flurries. “Last year we paraded in the rain which provided some very memorable moments for parade participants and parade spectators alike,” Bennyhoff said with a chuckle. “We would cancel the parade only if severe weather was expected and public safety became a concern. We work closely with city of Edwardsville officials throughout the day to monitor weather patterns. If a cancellation or delay became necessary, an announcement would be posted on our Facebook page and Web site.” Anyone interested in participating or sponsoring the parade should download the registration packet from the Chamber’s website or contact the Ed/Glen Chamber office at 6567600. The final deadline for local businesses, non-profit organizations and school/youth groups to register for parade participation is no later than Oct. 20. Entries postmarked after Oct. 6 will be assessed a $20 late fee, and any entries received after Oct. 20 will be returned. Bennyhoff anticipates a fun evening for community members of all ages. “The Halloween parade is a wonderful opportunity for the community to gather for a few hours of family-friendly fun. We’re proud to continue hosting this event year after year,” she said.

"Divided City" Washington University project to examine segregation from variety of perspectives For The Edge Legal segregation may be over, but segregation is hardly a thing of the past. The scars are deep and continue to divide along racial, cultural and economic lines. This fall, Washington University in St. Louis will launch “The Divided City: An Urban Humanities Initiative.” The $1.6 million project — funded in part by a four-year, $650,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation — will examine both the history and present-day reality of segregation from a variety of perspectives, including architecture, anthropology, business, economics, landscape architecture, law, public health, social work and urban design. “St. Louis is a particularly resonant place from which to pose these questions,” said Jean Allman, PhD, director of the Center for the Humanities in Arts & Sciences — and, with Bruce Lindsey, dean of architecture in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, principal investigator on the grant. “It sits on the border between north and south,” said Allman, the J.H. Hexter Professor in the
Humanities and professor of history. “It has profound legacies of racism and segregation, of expansion and decline.” The city also has seen many important — and several infamous — milestones in U.S. race relations. These range from the Dred Scott case (1857) to Shelley v. Kraemer (1948, which outlawed racially restrictive real estate covenants) to continuing unrest in Ferguson, Mo., surrounding the August death of teenager Michael Brown. “Segregation remains one of the most vexing problems in urban studies,” said Lindsey, the E. Desmond Lee Professor for Community Collaboration. “By segregation, we mean not only racial separation in the United States or South Africa, but persistent and widespread issues related to spatial and cultural isolation and fragmentation,” Lindsey said. “Segregation in this broad sense continues to play out in housing, in environmental risk, in access to food, transit, health care, education and
other basic services.” Said Allman, “Today, for the first time in history, the majority of humanity lives in cities and urban areas. The Divided City takes St. Louis as a base, but also looks at a range of global cities like Shanghai, Johannesburg, Nairobi, and Rio (de Janeiro). “These are global issues,” Allman said. “Our aim is to create a model for the urban humanities that will shape scholarship, teaching and policy initiatives across the globe.” The Divided City: An Urban Humanities Initiative In addition to the Mellon grant, The Divided City is supported by the Office of the Provost; the College of Arts & Sciences; and the College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design, both in the Sam Fox School School of Design & Visual Arts. Major initiatives will include a series of collaborative faculty grants; a summer seminar in the urban humanities; an oral history research project; a public life survey; the
development of new curricula, at both university and K-12 levels; a Divided City digital archive; and, eventually, a multimedia exhibition curated by faculty and students. Organizers also plan two new faculty hires — one in the urban humanities and one in urban design — as well as a postdoctoral fellowship. The latter will take primary responsibility for the digitizing and archiving of St. Louisbased African-American newspapers, including The St. Louis American, The Argus, The Evening Whirl, The Limelight and The East St. Louis Monitor. Faculty grants For each year of the project, the Center for the Humanities, the College of Architecture and the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design will award several collaborative faculty grants of up to $20,000 each. Proposals must be interdisciplinary in nature, involving the humanities and at least one other discipline, with particular consideration going to projects that engage architecture or urban design. Grants may be used to support research relating to urban segregation/separation; to develop
October 9, 2014
interdisciplinary curricula; or to build connections between the university and the St. Louis community, especially K-12 schools and cultural institutions. All recipients, as part of their collaborative work, are required to produce a community-based public humanities project, or to contribute material to The Divided City online project, which is currently in development. Grant proposals are due by Dec. 1. The first round of recipients will be announced in January.

Religion Religion briefs Pastor: UPS gunman was "troubled" over work
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama pastor says the man who killed two former co-workers and then himself at a UPS warehouse in Birmingham had told some people that he was having problems at work but never suggested that the situation might turn violent. A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the shooter as Joe Tesney. Bill Wilks, the pastor at NorthPark Baptist Church, says Tesney, his wife and his two children had been members at the church since 2003. Wi l k s d e s c r i b e d t h e 4 5 - y e a r- o l d Te s n e y a s b e i n g "troubled" over his work and financial situation. P o l i c e s a i d e a r l i e r Tu e s d a y t h a t a n e x - e m p l o y e e who had been fired just a day ago entered the sorting facility through a truck dock door and opened fire, killing a supervisor and another worker.

Scientists and clergy: Climate change policies could hurt the poor
for God and their neighbors. Some evangelical groups favor efforts to control climate change.
DALLAS (AP) — A conservative group of more than 140 scientists, economists and faith leaders is warning that policies to combat climate change could needlessly hurt the poor. The signed declaration, released by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, warns that mandatory reductions in carbon dioxide emissions would likely have minimal impact on global temperatures while making it more difficult for people in developing nations to get access to basic electricity and transportation. It also argues that natural cycles outweigh human influences in climate change, and declares that "rising atmospheric CO2 benefits all life on Earth by improving plant growth and crop yields, making food more abundant and affordable, helping the poor most of all." The declaration calls for caution as more than 120 world leaders prepare to convene the United Nations Climate Summit, and urges Christians to care for creation out of love
Poll: Support for gay marriage may be leveling off
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new survey from the Pew Research Center indicates American support for same-sex marriage has declined. The study released Monday found a 5 percentage point drop since February, from 54 percent to 49 percent, in Americans who want legal recognition for same-sex relationships. The poll of 2,002 adults, conducted Sept. 2-9, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. The findings were part of a survey in which nearly threequarters of Americans said religious influence in public life was waning and most saw that as a negative trend. About half of respondents said churches and houses of worship should speak out more on public issues.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews
"The Longest Week"
In " T h e L o n g e s t We e k , " J a s o n B a t e m a n p l a y s a privileged, pampered, narcissistic New Yorker whose sole effort at productivity in life is his meandering work on a novel called "The Directionless Generation." This may be a winking reference to the character himself, who clearly lacks direction, but alas, it's an even more prescient reference to the movie as a whole. There are moments here and there to be enjoyed, mainly for the slick visuals (and wonderfully hip New York apartments), but basically it feels like a directionless enterprise. And though the film is only 86 minutes long, it tends to feel bloated and even a bit tedious by the end — perhaps not an entire generation long, but too long nonetheless. It also feels derivative of other filmmaking styles. Writer-director Peter Glanz, making his debut feature, is clearly a Woody Allen fan; he uses the same jazzy-type music to accompany his dreamily appealing views of New York City, and he likes psychoanalysis scenes, too. Heck, the first scene has our main character, Conrad, venting to his analyst about his troubles with women, and the analyst is none other than Allen favorite Tony Roberts. Conrad even refers to himself as "Jungian." RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual content and smoking." RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"This Is Where I Leave You"
Somebody dies. Family gathers to mourn. Everybody's stuck in one house, with all their quirks and foibles and enough emotional baggage to fill an aircraft carrier. What could go wrong? Ha ha. What couldn't? This scenario could be a drama or a comedy — or, in the case of "This Is Where I Leave You," both: a dramedy. In the best dramedies, of course, laughter and tears alternate seamlessly and gracefully, and you leave both entertained and enlightened. Alas, this isn't that film. Instead, "This Is Where I Leave You," directed by Shawn Levy and adapted from Jonathan Tropper's novel by the author himself, seems to be constantly questioning — or doubting — what it is. Which means that just when it enters into some meaty issues that deserve serious treatment, it gets nervous and falls into forced comedy — or full-on slapstick. Which can get grating. And it's a shame, because the film has an A-list ensemble cast, headed by Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, but also featuring nice work from Jane Fonda, Connie Britton, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Debra Monk and more. A cast like that deserves an A-list movie; they got maybe a solid B. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for language, sexual content and some drug use." RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
"Tracks"
The movies, it seems, are increasingly headed down paths in the woods, out to open water and, in the case of John Curran's excellent new film "Tracks," into the deepest reaches of the Australian desert.

On the Edge of the Weekend
Surely our desire to disconnect, to feel the harshness of nature and the quiet of solitude feeds into the appeal of films like last year's near-wordless sea adventure "All Is Lost" with Robert Redford or the upcoming "Wild," in which Reese Witherspoon hikes the Pacific Coast Trail. But while those movies have their attributes, I'll take "Tracks" for the way it subtly and unsentimentally builds emotionally, step by step, across 1,700 miles. That's the distance traveled by Robyn Davidson ( p l a y e d b y M i a Wa s i k o w s k a ) , w h o s e j o u r n e y w a s chronicled by National Geographic. She then wrote an acclaimed 1980 memoir, "Tracks," about the trip in which she and her dog, Diggity, with four camels in tow, trekked across the Western Australian desert, ending at the Indian Ocean. It's a mad journey that earns her the moniker "Camel Lady" and turned her into a reluctant celebrity. "Tracks" gradually unspools why she's spending half a year alone and in the harshest of conditions, filling in with flashbacks to her mother's suicide and the simultaneous and (to the young Robyn) equally devastating loss of her childhood dog. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements, some partial nudity, disturbing images and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 112 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"The Equalizer"
If you were lucky enough to catch Denzel Washington in "A Raisin in the Sun" on Broadway, you saw the hugely charismatic actor portray, in an iconic role, the full complexity of a human being: strengths and weaknesses, attributes and flaws, durability and vulnerability. All topped off, of course, with that boyish Washington charm. Alas, Washington doesn't always choose big-screen roles similarly worthy of his unique talent. This is especially true of "The Equalizer," a mediocre thriller that tries to establish the 59-year-old actor as a middle-aged action hero, a la Liam Neeson. Here, we get to see Washington kill a lot of people. Yawn. OK, he does it in somewhat inventive ways. Still: Yawn. "The Equalizer" isn't a terrible movie, as action sagas go. It just doesn't nearly live up to what it aspires to be, which is a smart, classy update of the 1980s TV series of the same name, about an ex-government agent who spends his retirement as a sort of ultra-violent avenging angel, rubbing out villains who treat good people badly. Changes have been made — liberally. On TV, Robert McCall (Edward Woodward) was a debonair middle-aged guy in a trench coat, collar upturned, cruising the streets of New York in a black Jaguar. Here, no trench coat, no Jaguar, no New York. Director Antoine Fuqua and writer Richard Wenk have moved the action to Boston, and Washington's McCall is a blue-collar type. A widower with few possessions, he spends his days working at the Home Mart, and his nights reading literary classics and drinking tea at the diner. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for strong bloody violence and language throughout, including some sexual references." RUNNING TIME: 131 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"The Good Lie"
The movie poster for "The Good Lie" features a smiling Reese Witherspoon, front and center. But, truth be told,
October 9, 2014
neither Witherspoon nor her character is the film's star — not in the essential sense. The real stars are the Sudanese children at the bottom of the poster, their backs to us, trudging across an empty, sun-scorched expanse. "The Good Lie" tells a fascinating story, that of the so-called "Lost Boys" (and girls) of Sudan, youngsters orphaned by the bitter war that engulfed their country beginning in 1983, forcing many to trek for hundreds and hundreds of miles — over several years in some cases — to safety. And, admirably, the filmmakers keep these youngsters — and the young adults they became — central in their storytelling. They may have a Hollywood star on their hands, but this isn't a Hollywood star vehicle. It's probably safe to say that many Americans know little or nothing about the humanitarian effort, begun in 2000, to resettle thousands of young refugees from Sudan in U.S. cities. For that reason alone, this movie, directed by Philippe Falardeau, is worth seeing. Luckily, it's also a compelling film — occasionally a bit too earnest, perhaps, or overly broad in its humor, but often deeply moving. The story is fictional, but based on extensive research b y s c re e n w r i t e r M a rg a re t N a g l e , w h o i n t e r v i e w e d hundreds of "Lost Boys." The film begins in a southern Sudan village, where two brothers, Theo and Mamere, and their sister, Abital, suddenly find themselves orphans when attackers come rampaging through, killing anyone in sight. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements, some violence, brief strong language and drug use." RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"Men, Women & Children"
If ever there was a movie that needed a window to be opened, a blast of fresh air to be let in, it's Jason Reitman's "Men, Women & Children." The film, adapted from Chad Kultgen's novel, is about dreary faces in front of digital screens. A grim overview of the way the Internet, smartphones, sexting and all manner of cyber evils are corrupting our waking hours, "Men, Women & Children" makes "Frontline" look like a laugh riot by comparison. Reitman's suburban tale artfully weaves a handful of overlapping stories of lonely teenagers and their lonely parents in small town Texas, all of whom are unable to summon a smile in the two hours of this dour, downbeat melodrama. Among th em: a paran oid mom (Jen nifer G arner ) obsessively monitoring her daughter's (Kaitlyn Dever) p h o n e a n d P C ; a s e x l e s s c o u p l e ( A d a m S a n d l e r, Rosemarie DeWitt) exploring extramarital partners online; an anorexic high-school girl (Elena Kampouris) encouraged not to eat by chat-room supporters; a singlefather (Dean Norris) watching over his video-game devoted son (Ansel Elgort); a perpetually videotaping mother (the always excellent Judy Greer) trying to help her attractive daughter (Olivia Crocicchia) become a movie star. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "strong sexual content, including graphic dialogue throughout — some involving teens — and for language." RUNNING TIME: 19 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS: Two stars out of four.

"Men, Women & Children" doesn't click By JAKE COYLE Associated Press If ever there was a movie that needed a window to be opened, a blast of fresh air to be let in, it's Jason Reitman's "Men, Women & Children." The film, adapted from Chad Kultgen's novel, is about dreary faces in front of digital screens. A grim overview of the way the Internet, smartphones, sexting and all manner of cyber evils are corrupting our waking hours, "Men, Women & Children" makes "Frontline" look like a laugh riot by comparison. Reitman's suburban tale artfully weaves a handful of overlapping stories of lonely
teenagers and their lonely parents in small town Texas, all of whom are unable to summon a smile in the two hours of this dour, downbeat melodrama. Among them: a paranoid mom (Jennifer Garner) obsessively monitoring her daughter's (Kaitlyn Dever) phone and PC; a sexless couple (Adam Sandler, Rosemarie DeWitt) exploring extramarital partners online; an anorexic highschool girl (Elena Kampouris) encouraged not to eat by chat-room supporters; a single-father (Dean Norris) watching over his video-game devoted son (Ansel Elgort); a perpetually videotaping mother (the always excellent Judy Greer) trying to help her attractive daughter (Olivia Crocicchia) become a movie star. A narrator (Emma Thompson) opens the
film with an arch, omniscient tone, looking down from space at human civilization. It's an anthropological perspective that worked for "The God's Must Be Crazy," and a better, alternative "Men, Women & Children" might have chronicled the farce of our jumbled digital lives. But Reitman, whose irreverent, whip-smart knack for personal foibles worked best in "Juno" and "Young Adult," has instead made a resolutely glum movie — a "Crash" with clicks. He has a gift for finding empathy in the most unlikely of characters — the professional jerk of "Up in the Air," the runaway convict of his last film, the disappointing "Labor Day" — and that generosity marks each character of "Men, Women & Children" w"Tith understanding.
No, the villain here is technology and its unnatural dominance on modern life. Reitman deserves credit for trying to tackle it; how digital technology has woven itself into our lives — shaping and distorting them — is a subject that any filmmaker, any artist, ought to be contemplating. And there are many smartly observed scenes here that capture familiar glimpses of today's technology interactions: a more honest commentary by text message during a politely superficial conversation; the typing of a personal Facebook message and then its quick edit with a more banal replacement. It's not an altogether negative portrait of the Internet. One girl, for instance, finds true expression on a secret Tumblr page.
"The Equalizer" a good cat-and-mouse chase By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge My dad and I were discussing the strong opening weekend for the latest Denzel Washington picture, "The Equalizer," recently and I wondered aloud if it had anything to do with the TV show that ran on CBS from 1985 - 1989. Neither of us could remember the name of the main actor ("Edward...Something"), but concluded that they must be unrelated because, honestly, why would that be the hottest property for Sony to lay claim to? But in the Age of the Internet, all random facts can be adequately corroborated within seconds. Sure enough, it's right there in the opening credits: Based on the television series created by Michael Sloan and
Richard Lindheim. I never have seen this show, but bless those people at CBS; even their weaker series can run seven or eight seasons. Indeed, Washington does play Robert McCall, a friendly attendant at his Boston neighborhood Home Depot-esque warehouse superstore. We also learn that he's a former spy living the quiet life until he just finally has too much of the garbage he sees going on around him and does something about it – "because you can," as his character says late in the picture. In this case, he's put over the top by witnessing the abuse of a local prostitute named Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz) who frequents the diner where a sleepless Robert spends his lonely nights. When Teri shows up with bruises, he gives the
stink eye to the Russian pimps she works for (David Meunier, Alex Veadov). When they put her in the hospital, he shows the combat skills he learned from our government and puts down an entire office of the East Coast mafia in a matter of nineteen seconds. The action in The Equalizer is slow to build, but never short to deliver on bloody, stylized mayhem. Most of the movie is a cat-andmouse chess match between Robert's white knight and the malignant Teddy (Martin Czokas), the fixer for a conglomerate-spanning oligarch named Vladimir Pushkin (Vladimir Kulich), who uses brute violence to dispatch the local petty thugs (David Harbour) in Watertown that usually run things. They search out each other, sometimes in full taunting
view, while Robert casually thins out the small army bent on stopping his one-man show from changing the way criminals do business. Oscar winner Melissa Leo cameos as a former intelligence operative compatriot of the esteemed Mr. McCall. The picture also re-teams Washington with helmer Antoine Fuqua who is most known for directing Denzel to his second Academy Award for 2001's Training Day. Much like the equally enjoyable Taken franchise, "The Equalizer" u s e s t h e a p p e a l o f a re t i re d mercenary using his particularly deadly skill set to right common wrongs. It's a vastly entertaining notion of wanting to leave a life of danger and intrigue and then capitalize on it behind the scenes,

no? Why then do most of this genre's characters, like Washington's McCall or Liam Neeson's Bryan Mills, ultimately find such restlessness in the peace of keeping a spotless apartment and savoring only having to wash one dish and spoon after every meal? When discussing Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" with Teri early in the film, Robert states that "the old man's gotta be the old man and the fish has got to be the fish." So too, it would seem, that the killing machine vigilante hero has to be true to what he is. "The Equalizer" runs 145 minutes and is rated R for strong bloody violence and language throughout, including some sexual references. I give this film two stars out of four.

The Arts EAC presents "Spark and Flame" By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge The Edwardsville Arts Center's newest show, "Spark and Flame," runs through Nov. 7. What makes this show unique is that the art on display is a progression of work from various stages of seven very established artists' careers. From the artist's early work or “sparks” of creative genius to their midcareer work and finally to their masterpieces or “flame” of today. Jason Bly, EAC Board Member and curator of “Spark and Flame,” spoke about the idea behind this unusual show. "I was thinking about the student perspective and the show originated from that really - that learning experience that Edwardsville High School students might gain and also SIUE students but also the general public as an educational tool," Bly said. "Sometimes we see artwork in a vacuum where there's a very established artist, but we only see what they've made once they've made it being as a career. Leading up to that it's really sort of a mystery. There's really no segue from them as an apprentice where they became a master." "For me it was putting together a group of artists who have been working long enough that they have a 20 year or 30 year gap from their beginning stages until what they are doing now and putting that work side by side," Bly added.
Each of the seven artists will be displaying between five to eight pieces in the show. "For me it was building a story line that can take us from that really early work which I call the "spark" into the "flame" that they are doing now and everything in between. So you'll see that there's like a continuity between the old and new that might only be revealed in hindsight," Bly said. "Spark and Flame" will feature the art of Jack Decoteau - metals, ceramics, drawing, photography; John Denhouter - drawing and painting; David Griffin - metals; Nandy Newman Rice - painting; Olivia Petrides - painting and drawing; Snail Scott - sculpture and

of light and shadow that sort of move together like wind and that combines in with these mountain views and cave views coming from different locations," Bly said. "So for her it's like the geographical location inspires some of the moves that she makes with her work." The work of Jack Decoteau includes his early work of "very intimate" cast bronze figurines that stand about four to five inches tall, his mid-career work of drawings and drawings on ceramic plates as well as his latest work in photography. "So where Olivia has stayed within the spectrum of working in painting and drawing, Jack has moved from sculpture into drawing into photography, back into sculpture and drawing together," Bly said. Bly felt the common thread in Decoteau's work is that it is often engaging in conversations. "While he was sculpting them before and they looked like they were talking, now he's using photography," Bly explained. "He's using his own body and setting up a camera with a tripod, taking multiple pictures of himself and then compiling all of those pictures in Photoshop, a computer program, to make a collage of five Jacks sitting at a table. He'll work in costume and he becomes these different characters at times." "For me, it seems like he's acting out from the dialog that happened in his work from the 1980s in photography form," Bly added. "His photography is printed on wood which gives it a multi-media away. "Olivia is from Chicago. experience. It's rather interesting." Snail Scott's work featured in the She teaches at the Art Institute in Chicago.

its natural state combined with the mechanical or abstract elements," Bly said. "What she doesn't show often is the work leading up to that about 15 years ago being her full figurines that are sitting in like a crouched position. For me the arm is an element from those earlier figures that she pulled and that she found really interesting. And maybe leaving the entire figure behind and just using the arm as subject matter brought more of a point of focus to that part of the anatomy." "Spark and Flame" runs trhough Nov. 7 at the Edwardsville Arts Center located at 6165 Center Grove Rd. in Edwardsville. EAC hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday
through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and is closed Sunday through Tuesday. Concurrently, the art made by EHS Art students and EHS Advanced Placement Art students will be showing in the DeToye Student Gallery at EAC. Bly felt the main gallery show would be especially of interest to these budding artists as inspiration to seeking a career in art. "Students who go in to see their work might see a sense of hope in looking at the main gallery. These are artists who have been working for so long and to see the development is both challenging and hopeful to the high school students to be in the same room," Bly said.

COCA to present Nicole Lemkemeier Poetic Nature: Discovering the Audubon Center at Riverlands For The Edge COCA presents Poetic Nature: Discovering the Audubon Center at Riverlands, an exhibition by Nicole Lemkemeier, October 10 – December 14, 2014, in the Millstone Gallery at COCA. The exhibition is inspired by a COCAedu Interchange Program school residency held last winter with third grade students at Flynn Park Elementary School in the University City School District. The residency incorporated a visual artist, photographer and poet, who taught the class about observation skills and their application to each of the three art forms. The students then visited the Audubon Center at Riverlands, near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, where they were given digital cameras and challenged to collect “artifacts,” draw pictures and write poems based on their experience of the site. These inspiration materials were given to artist Nicole Lemkemeier to form the basis for the exhibition. “As an artist and mother, I am drawn to a child’s ability to observe the natural world in unexpected ways. This project was envisioned in part to try and capture the unique observations which often reflect a child’s captivatingly innocent wonder in the world around them,” says the artist. “This project has offered a complex artistic challenge in my desire to combine a child’s creative framing of a place with my own artistic voice. The use of ceramics provided a multi-faceted material through which I was able to address this juxtaposition using texture, three dimensional shape and painted surface.” The exhibition is free and open to the public through Sunday, December 14, 2014. Poetic Nature: Discovering the Audubon Center at Riverlands is presented by the Arthur and Helen Baer Charitable Foundation, with additional support provided by The
Millstone Foundation, Missouri Arts Council, Arts & Education Council and Regional Arts Commission. Poetic Nature: Discovering the Audubon Center at Riverlands Nicole Lemkemeier will be displayed in the Millstone Gallery at COCA, 524 Trinity Avenue, St. Louis, From Friday, October 10 – Sunday, December 14, 2014 Nicole Lemkemeier is the founder and owner of Mirthworks, LLC, specializing in site-specific custom mosaic architectural installations featuring handformed and painted tiles. Nicole’s background in printmaking, along with her extensive experience in ceramic surface decoration, led to her focus on tile and mosaics, although she also works with three-dimensional sculpted elements. Nicole makes all works in-house at Mirthworks, LLC, including the design, clay preparation, painting, firing and assembly of each piece. Nicole attended Washington University in St. Louis, graduating with a double major in Printmaking and Art History and is the recipient of a 2009 Grand Center Visionary Award. COCA-Center of Creative Arts is a non-profit community arts center with a mission to enrich lives and build community through the arts. COCA connects our community to the arts through programs that emphasize social and artistic diversity, economic and cultural accessibility, hands-on experience of the artistic process, and the highest quality in our faculty. Founded in 1986, COCA is a national leader in innovative community arts education. COCA annually serves more than 50,000 area residents of all ages through multidisciplinary, multi-cultural arts programs that include educational classes, camps and workshops, both on-site and in community venues; COCAbiz; COCAedu; COCA Presents; and exhibitions of contemporary art in the Millstone Gallery.

southern Illinois. Artist and educator Michelle Hamilton, who grew up in St. Louis, has a love for the “complex, optical, brilliance of glass.” Her artistic creations often merge passions for both glass and clay. Her exhibition, “Equanimity,” explores depth and negative space reminiscent of the symmetry found in botanicals and sea forms. Hamilton currently teaches ceramics at Maryville University. Painter Cory Sellers’ exhibition, “Familiar Figures,” is comprised of thickly applied oil paintings that investigate composition and the human figure to create intense pictorial drama. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from McKendree University and his Master of Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute in New York. Over the course of the last two years, he has displayed his work at McKendree as part of an alumni exhibition and at SWIC as part of the SWIC Faculty Art Show. He is an adjunct professor of art at SWIC and resides in St. Louis.

Music Tuning in Isbell to appear at the Peabody
Jason Isbell, with special guest Damien Jurado, will appear at 8 p.m. on Feb. 14 at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis. Tickets available at the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, by phone at 800-745-3000, or online at ticketmaster.com. Southeastern is not a record Jason has made before, and not simply because the glorious storm and drama of his band, the 400 Unit, is absent. They will tour together; it’s not a breakup record, not an album of dissolving, but, rather, songs of discovery. And not at all afraid, not even amid the tears. Which is to say that he has grown up. That it has been a dozen years since he showed up at a party and left in the Drive-By Truckers’ van with two travel days to learn their songs. And then taught them some of his songs in the bargain. Jason Isbell’s solo career has seemed equally effortless, from Sirens of the Ditch (2007) to Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (2009), through Here We Rest ( 2 0 11 ) a n d l a s t y e a r ’ s L i v e From Alabama. Loud records, unrepentantly southern, resplendent with careful songwriting. Songs which inspire and intimidate other musicians, and critics. “A heart on the run / keeps a hand on the gun / can’t trust anyone,� Jason sings just now, his words brushing gently atop an acoustic guitar figure “Cover
Me Up,� the song with which he has chosen to open Southeastern. Such tenderness. An act of contrition, an affirmation of need, his voice straining not to b re a k : “ G i r l l e a v e y o u r b o o t s by the bed / We ain’t leaving this room / Till someone needs medical help / Or the magnolias bloom.�
twelve male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, Chanticleer thrills audiences with its interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance and jazz, to gospel and adventurous new music. Chanticleer embarks upon its 37th season in 2014-15, performing in 25 of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for their “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,� Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices.� Chanticleer was named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008, and was installed in the American Classical Music Hall of Fame the same year. Chanticleer’s long-standing commitment to commissioning and performing new works was also honored in 2008 by the inaugural Dale
