Jesse Gernigin to perform Oct. 21 By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
O
ctober is all about ghosts, ghouls and spooky things that go bump in the night, which makes this the perfect time to spend an evening exploring the spirit world with magician extraordinaire Jesse Gernigin at the Wildey Theatre in downtown Edwardsville.
On Oct. 21, join Gernigin as he performs his new show, “Ghost Stories,” featuring a live band followed by his acclaimed magic show and a grand finale that includes a live séance on stage. “This is a new show that I do all across the country for large corporate events,” said Gernigin. “Then at the end of the show I’m going to do a two-part séance like you would actually see it done today if you were to hire a private sitter, and I’m going to do a séance like it was done when the Wildey
They’re coming! Superheroes, butterfly princesses, li’l furry monsters, cuddly lion cubs, ticklish tigers, pirates, cowboys, ballerinas and swaddled punkins with their mummies and daddies are slated to invade the Saint Louis Zoo for Mercy Children’s Hospital Boo at the Zoo Nights. Families will enjoy spooks, laughs, animals, fireside stories, night hikes and hauntingly fun entertainment at the Zoo’s family friendly, non-scary Halloween experience from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. every night Oct. 19-30, 2012. Grab the witch’s broom and float around the Zoo’s eerie grounds where you’ll encounter ghosts in the trees, singing pumpkins, Fragile Forest Fairyland, a haunted house that “shutters” on North Lake Avenue, and floating busts that have spooks to sing about! Pop into the Children’s Zoo for a “Halloween Pirate Adventure” on stage at 6, 7 and 8 p.m. featuring animals
was first opened.” Opening the show will be local soul band Jake Gehret and the Brokedown Sound. Gernigin said he wanted to find a way to make this show stand out from his other Wildey appearances and thought adding a musical element was a great way to welcome people to the show. Once everyone has taken their seats, the magic portion of the evening will begin. Gernigin has made a name for himself as a highly sought after magician and entertainer performing for corporations such as Google and John Deere, as well as at bed and breakfasts, hotels and other venues. Finally, the show will close with a two-part séance that will leave even the strongest skeptics secondguessing themselves. Gernigin explained that the first half of the séance will be in a modern format. Then, the second half will be in the style of those that were performed by traveling psychics and entertainers at the turn of the century, possibly even on the Wildey stage. “It was called a ‘spirit cabinet’ and it’s essentially the same thing as a séance. The premise is, there would be one or two people and they would be tied up in a cabinet, either a man or a woman, and while they’re tied up in the cabinet all sorts of spirit manifestations would happen in the cabinet. Tambourines would rattle, trumpets would play, ectoplasm would appear and the whole premise revolved around they were tied up, they had closed the cabinet and things would happen and when they opened the cabinet you could see the person was tied up,” said Gernigin. He said that although this part of the séance is rooted in the past,
performing natural behaviors. You may even happen upon a docent in the shadows to give you an up-close look at some of the Zoo’s night crawlers. Don't be alarmed if you discover the naked mole rats have left their costumes at home! Admission to Children’s Zoo and show is free. Gather 'round the fire as storytellers like Terry Rantula spin wild tales about snakes, spiders and bats. Perhaps Grandmother Goose will share chronicles of other Missouri critters. Come gaze with your glowing eyes and perk up your listening ears as you hear captivating animal stories. Are you brave enough to help solve the mystery of the "Phantom of Historic Hill?" On the Zoo’s Night Hike, you’ll be accompanied by an oh-so-sleepy tour guide on this family fun adventure as you explore the Herpetarium, Big Cat Country and the Bird Garden looking for the mysterious phantom. Hikes are offered every half hour

Jesse Gernigin he and his business partner have reworked it to include a few new ideas. However, he stayed mum on just what those new additions might be. A magician never reveals his secrets after all. “It’s going to be a lot more amazing because if I did it the way it was done back then it would seem hokey today,” he said. Gernigin did say that the first part of the séance will involve bringing a randomly selected volunteer on stage to “experience spirit manifestations” through various objects such as a wine glass. “There is this obvious idea, ‘Oh this could be spirits’ and then there’s the much more interesting concept that this might be social psychology; that these people are convincing themselves that ghosts are real. So it makes a statement that I’m not going to tell you what to think but I’m going to present you with evidence knowing that I’m a magician and see what you

So, does he REALLY believe in ghosts or is it all just a bunch of hocus pocus? “Yes, growing up in Madison County it’s hard not to,” he said. “I’ve gone on a lot of the haunted Alton experiences and of course being younger and poking around the area you kind of come across other frightening things, the Civil War Cemetery being one of the big ones.” Experience Jesse Gernigin’s “Ghost Stories” for yourself on Sunday, Oct. 21. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the music starts at 6:30 p.m. The magic show and séance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $17 for the balcony, $20 for the floor and $25 for the first four rows.

Chills and thrills await those brave enough to take a tour By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge Spirit seekers looking for a thrill this Halloween season need look no further than right here in Madison County, where you’ll find top notch guided tours of Alton’s most haunted places like the Mineral Springs Hotel, First Unitarian Church, the McPike Mansion and the Alton City Cemetery among others. Alton has a rich history dating back from the very first pioneers through to the Civil War and into the early part of the 20th century. It also has a dark and macabre past with tales of murders, suicides, plague and the shadow of slavery hanging over it. Considered by some to be “the most haunted small town in America,” Alton has not one but five experienced companies offering guided tours and even an overnight camp-out at a haunted house. Visitors also have plenty of options to customize their tour from haunted trolley and bus tours to walking and dinner tours and for the truly brave – overnight tours. The Edge has included a list of the area’s top choices for your supernatural experience courtesy of the Alton Regional Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. All are sure to be a scream – if you dare.

Orrin Taylor, son of Troy Taylor who books tour reservations through the company’s Decatur office, said the tours are always a lot of fun for everyone involved – even the tour guides. “They really do their research and get into it,” said Taylor. He said one of the creepiest places he’s ever visited – and he should know! – is the First Unitarian Church, particularly the basement. “It’s a very ominous feeling, like someone is watching you,” he said. Walking and bus tours are offered during two touring seasons – spring and summer and the haunted fall season. As of press time, all of the

Alton Haunted Odyssey Alton's Haunted Odyssey began in 1992 when Marlene Lewis and Antoinette created the area's first haunted tour. After Antoinette retired in 2011, Marlene and long-time tour guide Gary Hawkins decided to continue their haunted journey. They now offer three different trolley tours that begin at the former Piasa Masonic Temple and take guests through the most haunted parts of Alton, including the McPike Mansion, the Alton City Cemetery, Noll's Bakery and Confectionary Co. and more. Ghost hunters are encouraged to bring cameras and ghost hunting equipment. Dinner tours include a meal prepared by Spirit's Lounge.

All tours are led by a psychic guide and include visits inside area haunts and an opportunity to put your own ghost hunting abilities to the test. To learn more about tour locations or to make a reservation, visit www. adventuregypsies.com. Mineral Springs Haunted Tour Interested in taking a walk in the dark? Mineral Springs Haunted Tours will guide the way as they take you on a walking tour of downtown Alton followed by an exclusive investigation of all four floors of the Mineral Springs Hotel. Cap the evening off beckoning the afterworld through a séance and tarot card readings. Visitors can also sign up for the Cemetery Tours, complete with a wake and procession following the Mineral Springs hearse to the Alton City Cemetery. You can also tour the Museum of Torture of Devices. Janet Kolar, owner and operator of Mineral Springs Haunted Tour, is confident visitors seeking a
connection to the otherworld won’t be disappointed with the Mineral Springs Hotel. Kolar, who describes herself as a “sensitive,” said she has always had experiences with the other side. She said they have thoroughly researched all the deaths at the hotel and have confirmed the presence of six entities or ghosts. “This is the most haunted building in Alton,” said Kolar. “There have been murders, suicides and accidental deaths. We have over 150 electronic voice phenomenon and photos.” Walking tours, dinner tours and haunted overnights are available. Prices vary based on tour selected. For reservations, go to www. mineralspringshauntedtours.com or call (866) 465-3205. In addition to offering haunted tours, check out the Historic Museum of Torture Devices at the Mineral Springs Mall. A rack, a wheel, branding irons, head cages, ironspiked collars and an executioner’s axe are just a few of the devices on display used to torture people in the Middle Ages. The museum and its collection are one of the few in the United States. The museum is located inside the Mineral Springs Mall, located at 301 E. Broadway St. in Downtown Alton. McPike Mansion Ah, the McPike Mansion. No visit to Alton’s haunted sites is complete without a stop at this creepiest of haunted houses. I can speak from experience here as I was lucky enough to get a private tour by owner Sharyn Luedke last year. This imposing house has been featured on several television shows and investigated by numerous paranormal investigators who have found the haunting of the McPike Mansion to be authentic. Check out the late night tours and campfire tours, offering visitors an exclusive investigation of the mansion grounds. A trip to the cellar is not to be missed! Private tours are also available. For more information on the mansion and haunted tours, go to www.mcpikemansion.com. Since tours sell out fast, visitors will want to make their reservations in advance.

This new exhibition features the same puppets, costumes and other techniques used to teach young animals essential survival skills. Wildlife Rescue has educational, hands-on activities and displays, including a simulated flight on an ultra-light to guide young whooping cranes along their first migratory route; a touch screen globe to explore the stories of a wide range of threatened and endangered animals; and a "virtual" opportunity to join the Rapid Response team and test your knowledge about how

People People planner Butterfly House presents owls and orchids This fall more than 1,000 owl butterflies will take flight during the third annual October Owls and Orchids at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House in Faust Park. The Butterfly House will offer extended hours each Tuesday in October so that visitors can see these amazing creatures during their most active hours. October Owls and Orchids is included with regular Butterfly House admission. The Butterfly House’s 8,000square-foot tropical conservatory generally houses 150 owl butterflies which are easily recognized by their chocolate-hued wings and bring yellow markings that resemble an owl eye. Throughout October, there will be more than 10 times the standard number of these butterflies which represent three species: Caligo eurilochus, Caligo atreus and Caligo memnon. In their native Costa Rica, owl butterflies feast on a diet of tree sap or juice from fallen fruit. The Butterfly House will recreate this environment by offering the animals a diet of squashed bananas and fruit. Each Tuesday visitors get a chance to see the butterflies at twilight when they will fly through the conservatory in search of food and mates. This view of owl butterfly flight is not often available to the public. Visitors ages 12 and older can also take advantage of a special series of 30-minute talks about owl butterflies, their rainforest homes and the butterfly farms that supply the Butterfly House’s animals. The drop-in talks take place from 6:30-7 during the extended Tuesday hours. There is no talk on Oct. 9. In addition to these drop in talks, the Butterfly House will have some special visitors on Tuesday nights including owls from the World Bird Sanctuary and nocturnal animals from the St. Louis Zoo. Visit www.butterflyhouse.org for a full schedule. The “Orchid” portion of October Owls and Orchids is equally impressive, with more than 100 vividly-colored orchids blooming in the conservatory throughout the month. Visitors can view Phalaenopsis, Cattleyas and Dendrobiums nestled alongside peacock flowers, powder puff trees, jungle geraniums and other tropical plants inside the conservatory.
The Butterfly House is located in Faust Park at 15193 Olive Blvd. in Chesterfield, Mo., accessible from Interstate 64 at exit #19B. Admission is $6 for adults, $4.50 for seniors (ages 65 and over) and $4 for children (ages 3 to 12). Children ages 2 and under and Missouri Botanical Garden members are free. For more information, visit www. butterflyhouse.org or call (636) 5300076. Follow the Butterfly House on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ thebutterflyhouse.

Wildey to host GEACF fundraiser By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge The Wildey Theatre will be rolling out the red carpet on Nov. 2 for a very special evening of music featuring the acclaimed talents of the Erin Bode Group with all proceeds going to support local students working to make their academic dreams come true. Get ready for a night to remember in the historic theatre for a musical performance that is not to be missed. The Erin Bode Group (www.erinbode.com) describes its music as “forged from the Americana of its members’ Midwestern roots, infused with jazz grooves and made magic by Bode’s bell-like voice.” The band achieves its fresh sound by utilizing sophisticated arrangements and paying attention to its vocal and instrumental phrasing, according to information on their website. The band’s most recent album,
“Photograph,” was released in November 2010. The event is sponsored by the Greater Edwardsville Area Community Foundation (GEACF), which is a charitable trust that raises and manages funds to distribute as grants and scholarships to local charitable organizations and deserving students throughout the year. All proceeds from this concert will benefit the foundation’s scholarship fund, which helps support local students in the Edwardsville Community Unit School District 7. The foundation gives out between 30 and 50 scholarships annually through its own scholarship fund. Additional scholarships are provided by private individuals and businesses, which are managed by the foundation. “Overall, for 2011 the foundation awarded 84 scholarships totaling approximately $80,000,” said Patty Thiede, board member
For The Edge
Erin Bode, above, and a flyer for the Nov. 2 show, at left. and treasurer of the GEACF. Thiede said the scholarship criteria include a combination of grades, extra curricular activities and financial need. The application process starts in November/December 2012, and the scholarships are awarded between January and March 2013. Awards range from $250 through $2,000. Interested students should contact the school guidance counselor for an application. Visit the foundation’s website at www.geacf.org for more information. “We have some that if you’re going into medicine or a health occupation, there’s an award for that. Some are specific for business, engineering, etc.” said Thiede. This is a great opportunity for local students to get financial help for furthering their education. Plus, because the scholarships are kept within the community, students have a better chance of receiving an award. “When you’re competing nationally, you’re just making the pool smaller. So I think they’re a little more readily available to the local
students,” said Thiede. She said the concert is the first time the foundation has attempted to organize a major fundraiser such as this. Thiede said the hope is that this event will not only raise money for the scholarship fund but also raise awareness of the foundation itself and the ways in which it can help students and charities within the community. “It’s just to get our name out there a little more and what we do,” she said. “We’ll have a bit of a red carpet and you’ll have the ability to have your photo taken. We’re just trying to make it a fun evening out in Edwardsville.” Doors will open at 7 p.m. for drinks provided by Crushed Grapes and light hors d’oeuvres in the Wildey’s elegant Marquee Room. The concert will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $37.50 and can be purchased online through the Wildey Theatre’s website at www.wildeytheatre.com.

Tickets for Mannheim Steamroller go are on sale and prices start at $37.50. Tickets are available at the Fox Theatre box office, online at metrotix.com or by phone at 314-534-1111. The tour, now in its 27th year, is still met by sold-out audiences and was one of the top 20 concert tours in the nation last year. This year Mannheim Steamroller’s two touring ensembles will hold over 90 performances throughout the United States. Grammy Award winner Davis will direct and co-produce the performances with MagicSpace Entertainment. The shows will feature the favorite Christmas music of Mannheim Steamroller along with state-of-the-art multimedia effects in an intimate setting. In 1984, Mannheim Steamroller released Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, an album that changed the sounds of Christmas. Already a multi-platinum recording artist through its Fresh Aire series, Davis decided to record an album of Christmas music combining the group’s signature mix of
Renaissance instruments with rock & roll beats. The resulting album was a runaway hit and Mannheim Steamroller went on to become the biggest selling Christmas music artist in history. The group’s Christmas tour has become an annual holiday tradition right along with decorating the tree, exchanging presents and creating unforgettable moments with friends and family. Composer and creator Chip Davis started Mannheim Steamroller more than 30 years ago with his Grammy Awardwinning Fresh Aire series. Today, with 19 gold, 8 multiplatinum and 4 platinum certified records, Davis is among an elite group of artists -- including U2, Jay-Z, The Beach Boys and Michael Jackson – holding the most certifications of such albums. Mannheim Steamroller is the #1-selling Christmas artist of all time. With over 40 million total records sold, 28 million have been Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. The group’s annual Christmas tour has consistently ranked among top national tours. From founding his own record label American Gramaphone, which has been ranked by Billboard as the #1 independent label, to creating the Mannheim Steamroller “lifestyle” of food, apparel and other products, Davis is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry. His latest achievement is creating a cutting edge psychoacoustic technology that is being used in major medical institutions such as Mayo Clinic and is also being studied by NASA for potential use in space.

Religion There is one constant in everyone's life Recently one of the students I hosted from Bangladesh graduated from the university and was fortunate to have been offered a job in Minnesota. He was excited to move on to the next adventure in his life. While he was excited and a bit worried, I found myself thinking of myself in his predicament. No car, no furniture for an apartment, no dishes, pots and pans, and other things necessary to turn a living space into a home. It seemed an adventure I’d be hesitant to tackle. A few weeks later while at my doctor, I mentioned this and he reminded me that many years ago our grandparents or perhaps great grandparents arrived in this new country with only their suitcases and began a new life. Then, I o pe n e d o n e o f m y devotional books and read about a town called Gallipolis, Ohio and how many of the early settlers came from France. They were fleeing the French Revolution. These folks hadn’t been the poor and they came with their fine china, crystal, and other beautiful but impractical items. What did they find? Well they didn’t find a settled community with beautiful homes. Instead they found a newly developing frontier town. What would these lawyers, professors, and other professional people do? How would they build homes? How could they exist in the circumstances that surrounded them? Well, my book says that then P r e s i d e n t Wa s h i n g t o n s e n t
Catholic group criticizes German bishops’ for freezing out believers who don’t pay church tax BER L I N ( A P ) — A C a t h o l i c reform group in Germany criticized the country’s bishops Monday for declaring that believers who refuse to pay religious taxes won’t be able to receive the sacrament, become godparents or work in church institutions. A century-old agreement with the state adds up to nine percent to the income tax bill of Germany’s 25 million registered Roman Catholics, earning the church more than euro4 billion ($5.2 billion) annually. The same tax applies to Protestants and Jews. The churches use the income to pay employees’ salaries and fund social work such as care for the elderly. The churches themselves aren’t taxed by the state but instead pay an administrative fee for the collection of religious tax. Donations represent a far smaller share of the churches’ income than in the United States. The Catholic bishops’ decree in Germany last week is part of an attempt to stem the steady flow of people who opt out of paying religious taxes. It declares that they have committed a “grave lapse” and effectively left the church. But the group We are Church — which claims to represent tens of thousands of grassroots Catholics — said the bishops’ decision to freeze believers out if they don’t pay up was “the wrong signal at the wrong time.”

Doris Gvillo carpenters to construct cabins for them to live in. And, in time these early settlers learned how to make a living and survive in such different circumstances. Now what was a wilderness that baffled and worried them is now a thriving modern community. My paternal grandfather arrived in this country after leaving behind his wife and small daughter. He came to work with some folks from the area in Germany where he was born but who had already immigrated to this part of Illinois. After working a few years, he saved enough to send for his wife and child. Now all of these relatives have left this world. But, in my basement sits the trunk my Grandmother brought with her when she arrived with her child to join my grandfather. The trunk isn’t very big but yet it held the few possessions she brought with her. I’m sure most of the items it held were practical, but there were also a few cherished items she brought for remembrance. Why am I relating these stories? Well, I guess I often find myself wondering if I would have the courage to embark on an adventure
like any of these. All of my life I’ve lived in Madison County. Oh, I’ve been in different towns and different homes. But I’ve always been blessed to have family not too far away. And while I’ve lived without a furnace, without running water and without many of the amenities of today’s life, I’ve had the support of family and friends. If we look back into the Biblical stories we will find many stories of people, trusting God, and moving on to new and different challenges and homes. Can you imagine the Israelites fleeing Eqypt and coming to the Red Sea and wondering just how they’d cross that big body of water? It boggles my mind. But they did make the crossing because they trusted their God to go with them, to lead them, and to protect them. Now I know that the moves that individuals have made to our nation from various places in the world don’t quite demand the trust that the Israelites needed. But to leave a safe and secure home to venture to a new land takes courage. To move to a new community with very little except for your clothes also takes both
courage and daring. The interesting thing is that while we might look at these moves as frightening and daring, they do present the chance for a better and more rewarding life. All of these individuals were confronting something unknown. They were venturing into something totally unfamiliar. Today it may be a new city or a new job, but for many years back, it also meant a new culture and a new language. That must have added to the boldness and trust needed to make the journey. I liked what the author of the piece I read said about moving to strange territory. He said that ‘when confronted with an unfamiliar world, they not only adapted, they thrived.” In my mind, it would have taken tremendous courage to embark on such a journey to an unknown place, with customs different from their homeland, with a different language, and with the hope that a new life could begin and succeed. I guess my observation of such folks and the courage they exhibited rests on one more factor. Yes, they were brave and daring, but I think they were and still are faith filled. When we are alone, we long
for family and friends. But we also know in our heart that while physically we are alone, we are never truly alone when God goes with us. I think faith in God is evident in the fact that many of the early settlers built houses of worship in their communities. God strengthens us in times of weakness. He guides and protects us when we walk with Him. The world is constantly changing. Values seem to change. Morals seem to change. But we can hold fast because we have a God that is unchanging. I believe that even though we are not all world travelers, nor do many of our occupations demand us to move about, we still find ‘change’ a part of our lives. Laws change, morals change, fashions change, values change, but one thing is constant…and that is our God. When we keep our eyes on our God who is never failing, unchanging, and has a love that never dies, we can ‘keep on keeping on’ whatever changes the future may bring.

“Looper”
Fans of time-travel movies know that much of the fun of the genre comes from obsessing over whether it all makes sense, both while you’re watching it and in long, complicated conversations afterward. What’s smart about “Looper” — and what makes it more compelling than colder sci-fi — is the way writer-director Rian Johnson establishes the machinery of the time-travel concept, then steadily pushes it into the background in favor of exploring his characters and the difficult questions they face. Johnson’s feature debut, 2005’s “Brick,” signaled him as an ambitious filmmaker with a distinctive voice. Here, with his third film, he’s expanded both his scope and his eye for vivid detail. He incorporates a variety of genres and influences, from dystopian, futuristic science fiction and dark comedy to parental drama and romance, with a Wild West shootout and even some “Terminator” thrown in. But he always stays true to his characters in his fully realized world. The year is 2044, and America has fallen into a state of stylish squalor. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, in his darkest role yet, plays Joe, a junkie and former criminal who makes ends meet in this depraved world by working as a “looper,” a hired gun. Time travel hasn’t been invented yet, but it will be 30 years further in the future. A powerful mob boss known as the Rainmaker sends his enemies back in time to have them obliterated with no loose ends. But sometimes, future versions of the loopers themselves show up on the spot; this is known as “closing your own loop,” and it means getting a handsome payout and a set period of 30 more years to live it up. Trouble is, when Joe’s future-self arrives in the form of Bruce Willis, he hesitates, then watches him run off. RATED: R for strong violence, language, some sexuality/ nudity and drug content. RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
“Pitch Perfect”
Cheeky and snarky but with an infectious energy, this comedy set in the world of competing college a cappella groups makes us fall in love with the very thing it’s making fun of. It’s ridiculous and predictable but also just a ton of fun, so you may as well give up and give into your inner musical theater geek. The debut feature from director Jason Moore (Broadway’s “Avenue Q”) and writer Kay Cannon (“30 Rock”), based on the non-fiction book by Mickey Rapkin, feels like a mash-up of “Glee” and “Revenge of the Nerds,” with a soundtrack ranging from David Guetta and Bruno Mars to The Bangles and Simple Minds. Some performances will make you smile; others will give you chills. And speaking of mash-ups, that’s exactly the genre that forces the film’s female singing group out of its comfort zone of conservative choreography and corny vocal arrangements. Their reluctant catalyst is Beca, an antisocial, aspiring DJ played by Anna Kendrick; this is an amusing irony in contrast with Kendrick’s usually sunny, Type-A screen persona, and given her off-screen Broadway musical bona fides. Freshman Beca is part of a rag-tag class of recruits who join the Barden University Bellas, perky young women who dress like flight attendants, adhere to a rigid set of rules and have supersecret, sorority-style rituals. It’s their goal to knock off the school’s rival guy group and win the national championship. An outrageous Rebel Wilson, whose character nicknamed herself “Fat Amy,” gets many of the film’s best lines, while the

wonderfully odd Hana Mae Lee steals her share of scenes in her own quiet way. RATED: PG-13 for sexual material, language and drug references. RUNNING TIME: 112 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
“Won’t Back Down”
The focus of this save-our-school drama practically assures it will fail to join the ranks of great, or even good, education tales. The movie takes the story out of the classroom and into the halls of bureaucracy, leaving almost every kid behind to center on two plucky parents battling entrenched administrators and union leaders to turn around a failing school. So essentially, it’s a school board meeting. Or school bored. Despite earnest performances from Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis as a pair of moms leading the fight, the movie lives down to its bland, us-against-them title with a simple-minded assault on the ills of public schools that lumbers along like a math class droning multiplication tables. Director and co-writer Daniel Barnz gets lost in the red tape of education politics as Gyllenhaal’s Jamie and Davis’ Nona take on the suits in a grass-roots move by parents and teachers to seize control of their kids’ abysmal school. And it’s the children who suffer here. Other than some token scenes involving Jamie and Nona’s kids, the students are mere extras in a drama that spends most of its time prattling on about how the children are what matter most. The movie doesn’t exactly practice what it teaches. RATED: PG for thematic elements and language. RUNNING TIME: 121 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
“Frankenweenie”
Tim Burton reminds us of why we love Tim Burton with this feature-length version of the 1984 short that revealed early glimmers of the veteran director ’s darkly humorous style. Beautifully detailed and painstakingly rendered in 3-D, black-and-white, stop-motion animation, “Frankenweenie” is a visual and thematic return to the best Burton has offered in his earliest films, such as “Edward Scissorhands” and “Beetlejuice.” And it is a welcome return, given the reheated, unfocused nature of some of his more recent films like “Dark Shadows.” Burton has said he’d always intended for “Frankenweenie” to be a full-length, stop-motion-animation feature, but he didn’t have the means; instead, he made a 30-minute, live-action short. Both films are about the powerful bond between a boy and his dog, one that goes on even after death — a heartrending subject, to be sure, but one that Burton infuses with his trademark mix of lively energy and macabre laughs. Even then, you could see Burton’s sympathetic, protective portrayal of an outsider, an affectionate skewering of the sanctity of suburbia and a deep love of monster movies. Charlie Tahan provides the voice of Victor, a 10-year-old loner who’s understandably devastated when his only friend — his bull terrier, Sparky — gets hit by a car. But a lesson from his science teacher (a wonderfully melodramatic Martin Landau) inspires Victor (whose last name happens to be Frankenstein) to try and bring Sparky back to life. Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short and Winona Ryder are among the Burton veterans in the strong voice cast.

“The Paperboy”
Soaked in sweat and reeking of cigarettes, director Lee Daniels’ follow-up to the Oscar-winning “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” is, quite literally, a hot Southern mess. It’s got sleazy characters wallowing in bloody crimes and sloppy sex, all of which seems even more lurid during a steamy summer in the racially divided Florida swamps of the late 1960s. It’s certainly never boring, led by an accomplished cast of actors including Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey and John Cusack who seem all-too willing to get down and roll around in the muck. It’s stylish trash, shot to look as if it were made during the period in which it takes place, with a mixture of gauzy, dreamlike imagery and startling, graphic intimacy. And yet, “The Paperboy” feels too scattered from a narrative perspective to have any kind of real emotional impact beyond simple, gratuitous shocks. Strong individual moments make you wish the vision as a whole had been more focused. Daniels and Pete Dexter co-wrote the script, based on Dexter’s novel, about a hotshot Miami journalist (McConaughey) who returns to his hometown to investigate whether a greasy swamp rat named Hilary Van Wetter (Cusack) was placed wrongfully on death row for the murder of a local sheriff. He and his writing partner (David Oyelowo) are there at the urging of the tarty, boozy Charlotte Bless (Kidman), who’s become Hilary’s prison pen-pal and true love. Zac Efron, as McConaughey’s younger brother, serves as the group’s driver but mainly goes swimming and lies around in his tighty-whities all day. Because, you know, it’s really hot out there. RATED: R for strong sexual content, violence and language. RUNNING TIME: 106 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS: Two and a half stars out of four.
“Taken 2”
Planning to pay out good money for this action sequel? To paraphrase Liam Neeson, you’re about to be taken. Whatever novelty there was watching Neeson go commando in 2008’s “Taken” is gone in the sequel, a mix of third-rate action, dreary family melodrama, laughable bad guys and even more laughable plot devices. Producer-writer Luc Besson and director Olivier Megaton (“Colombiana,” “Transporter 3”) draw giggles from the start with a graveside tableau of Albanians mourning their dead — all the thugs Neeson’s ex-CIA Bryan Mills killed in the first movie for kidnapping his daughter in a prostitution ring. The family patriarch (Rade Sherbedgia) proclaims that the dead are crying out for justice — so he and a countless band of goons head off to Istanbul to exact revenge from Mills, his daughter (Maggie Grace) and exwife (Famke Janssen). There was something primal about “Taken,” a father putting all his brains and brawn into saving his little girl, and doing it with startling ferocity and ingenious trade-craft. Neeson just looks like he’s yawning his way through a light workout here, using one big Irish paw to snuff bad guys and holding the other one out to the studio for his paycheck. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and some sensuality. RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS: One and a half stars out of four.

Under the dark eyeliner and surly attitude, her smarts and likability shine through.
Freshman Beca is part of a rag-tag class of recruits who join the Barden University Bellas, perky young ladies who dress like flight attendants, adhere to a rigid set of rules and have super-secret, sorority-style rituals. (The audition process, in which everyone is forced to sing the Kelly Clarkson anthem “Since U Been Gone,” is edited so beautifully, it feels like a fresh take on the tried-and-true, badfirst-date montage.) The Bellas’ leader is the meticulous, tyrannical Aubrey (Anna Camp); a redheaded Brittany Snow is her flirty and more forwardthinking right-hand woman. It’s their goal to knock off the school’s rival guy group, the Treblemakers, and win the national championship. John Michael Higgins
and Elizabeth Banks (who’s also a producer on the film) are hilarious as the broadcast team providing inane, slightly naughty commentary at every stop along the way. Their bits feel natural, unpredictable and adlibbed, like something out of a Christopher Guest mockumentary. But the whole supporting cast is strong and well-chosen, with nearly every actor getting a chance to provide off-kilter comedy. An outrageous Rebel Wilson, who was so great last year as Kristen Wiig’s roommate in “Bridesmaids” — and whose character here nicknamed herself “Fat Amy” — gets many of the film’s crudest and best lines, while the wonderfully odd Hana Mae Lee steals her share of scenes in her own quiet way.
Eastwood fails to knock this one out of the park By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge When Clint Eastwood starred in "Gran Torino" in 2008, his last turn in front of the camera before last weekend's release of "Trouble with the Curve, "America loved it. He was awesome and the film was a huge hit just after the New Year's holiday. There was also a strange rumor going around that it would be his last performance because his character is killed at the show's end, something that hadn't happened in any of Mr. Eastwood's previous movies. Given how well I liked that film, I hoped it wasn't true. You can imagine my delight, then, when it was announced that he would star in a family drama set amongst the backdrop of minor league baseball. I was thrilled. Then came that growling Super
Bowl ad, and that odd "skit" at the Republican National Convention, and it seemed the 82 year-old actor was more prepared to be a political commentator in his golden years than a moviemaker. Many would argue that both are clownish and for our amusement, but I will refrain from further putting tongue into cheek on that subject. Now that I've seen "Trouble with the Curve," I'm just as uneasy. Eastwood doesn't do any of the other things he's known for in this picture. He didn't score or sing any music on its soundtrack. He might have a producer credit, but he's starring in this one for director Robert Lorenz, his longtime friend and protégé. His role is Gus Lobel, an aging baseball scout for the Atlanta Braves. Gus is one of those coots who drives all over place to watch kids
play the national past time and decide which have the best chance to one day play in the big leagues. "Is he the next Chipper Jones?" "Does he have stuff like Tom Glavine?" Those types of phrases can be bandied about pretty easily, but Gus is (fictitiously), the one who scouted those guys in the first place. He may have the practiced eye, but there's the trouble. Gus is losing his vision to macular degeneration and glaucoma, a combination that is stealing one of his basic senses and making the persnickety grouch even more unbearable. His age, the problems with his eyesight, and his personality in general have driven away most of the people in Gus's life that love him. His best friend is Pete Klein (John Goodman), the man who has directed his scouting efforts with the Braves for 30 years. They
trust each other, but Pete's under great pressure to give up on Gus when his current contract expires. The assignment to weigh in on a power-hitting North Carolinian (Joe Massingill) might be Gus's last at bat and Pete recommends that Mickey (Amy Adams), Gus's estranged attorney daughter, accompany him to help with the depression over his impending blindness. Since Gus's wife passed away so many years ago, he and Mickey have drifted apart. Their rare encounters are cold and distant and the old man is to blame. For reasons that are explained during the movie's emotional climax, Gus sent his daughter away to stay with family or in boarding schools when he had to be out on the road. She's never forgiven him for taking away her childhood and withholding his love.
October 11, 2012
The time they spend together rips the wound back open and causes Mickey and Gus to address the elephant in the room that she can't ignore and he hasn't acknowledged. Subplots involve a romance for Mickey with an aspiring play-by-play announcer (Justin Timberlake) and corporate subterfuge between other scouts (Matthew Lillard) and lawyers (James Patrick Freetly) in the Lobels' offices. The over-long movie lags at times and I would only recommend it for those that really, truly love baseball. As any St. Louisan, the week the playoffs start, I heartily include myself in the mix. ••• "Trouble with the Curve" runs 119 minutes and is rated PG-13 for language, sexual references, some thematic material, and smoking. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.

Family Focus Skin had presence at New York Fashion Week By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Bikini season may be over, but this is no time to tone down the workout. Many of the styles on the runway at New York Fashion Week flash a bit of skin here or there: bare midriffs, cutout backs, keyhole necklines. The silhouettes in spring previews that entered a fourth day Sunday aren’t necessarily skin tight, but it’s not a season of full-on floaty frocks, either. “We’ve gone so far away from overt sexiness, but the reality is, sex sells. At some point the shopper wants to be sexy,� said Hal Rubenstein, fashion director of InStyle magazine. “Illusion fabric on a shoulder or a little skin showing on a midriff gives you a hint without giving it all away.� Victoria Beckham and DKNY continued the trend with bra-style tops, while many of Alexander Wang’s looks were seemingly held together by fishing wire. MercedesBenz Fashion Week continues through Thursday before the fashion crowd heads to London, Milan and Paris. ZAC POSEN The audience had started griping about Zac Posen’s delayed start, but as soon as Naomi Campbell took that first step on the runway, there was a collective “aha.� And then there was an “ooh.� The spring collection was being modeled on the terrace of Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall by many of the models who helped put Posen on the map a decade ago. Campbell, Erin O’Connor, Karolina Kurkova and
Alek Wek were among the catwalkers who’d strut for the newbie because they were such fans of his masterfully made clothes. Fast-forward to the new season, and Posen put them in romantic, glamorous gowns with the intricate, detailed, show-stopping sort of details that first won them over. Campbell wore a corseted daytime dress with a swingy dance hemline, setting the tone. The best of the gowns had either tons of tiny tulle pintucks, mermaid silhouettes or candy-ribbon peplums. DIANE VON FURSTENBERG Diane von Furstenberg called her spring collection “Palazzo.� “La Dolce Vita� also would have worked. The muse has “the polish of a princess and the heart of a gypsy,� von Furstenberg said, and she travels from Rome to Marrakesh and then off to Jaipur, India. She takes with her on this journey tunics and skinny-leg pants — practically silk leggings — to wear during the day, and a blood-orange scarf gown attached to a silver choker and cuff bracelets for the night. She brings her kiwi-green gown with a cutout neckline just in case she’ll need it for a last-minute, black-tie invitation. The trip is definitely more play than work, a bit of a departure for von Furstenberg whose label often is the workhorse of a career woman. But these clothes fuel the fantasy she might be having at her desk. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was on hand and Von Furstenberg and some of the models wore Google Glasses that were collecting video for a project to be released on GooglePlus and YouTube on Thursday.
VICTORIA BECKHAM Victoria Beckham’s show not only looks like her signature pulledtogether, well-edited style, but it feels like her, too. She’s the thoughtful hostess with waiters offering morning juice to the crowd at the New York Public Library, but she keeps the guest list very tight. She’s one of the biggest draws of the week, but there’s no frenzy of paparazzi photographers. (Husband David Beckham, however, did take some photos from his seat.) Beckham said she checks — or doublechecks — every look to make sure “it looks good from every angle.� The clothes for spring had a delicacy that she said was new for her this season, although the clothes remained substantial and structured. It was the touch of illusion lace, the lingerie bra top or hemline of pleated chiffon that took the edge

customers every day and for every occasion, Karan said in a postshow interview: “When I can wear the same thing as the girls on the runway, I’ve done my job.� CHADO RALPH RUCCI Color and contemporary details took the show for the luxury line Chado by Ralph Rucci. Rucci and his team mixed old world glamour with new world touches like a swirl pattern of braiding on the sheer top of a chiffon-skirted dress. The same braiding in a riot of neon colors was used on one long sleeve of a basic black pantsuit. Crystals sparkled on a coral blouse worn with a white wrap skirt that carried the pink along the hem, separated by a single black line. The minimalist line was also used in a wearable white tunic with bright pink at the waist and hem, paired with white cigarette pants.

The Arts Saint Louis Art Museum to exhibit the works of Italian artist Federico Barocci By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge
E
xperience the work of one of the most innovative artists of the Italian Renaissance at the Saint Louis Art Museum’s new exhibition, “Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master.”
This international exhibition comprises more than 130 of Barocci’s works gathered from more than 50 institutions worldwide, including the artist’s highly detailed preparatory sketches and prints as well as his paintings. Many of the pieces included in the exhibition have never been seen in this country before. This exhibition features a range of Barocci’s best works from his pastel and chalk studies to his breathtaking paintings. The sheer volume of work offers viewers a unique opportunity to study and understand the artistic process of this great Renaissance master. Born in 1533 in the humanist center of Urbino, in northeastern Italy, Federico Barocci was the son of a watchmaker who would later go on to become one of the most interesting artists of the Renaissance. Though relatively unknown to American audiences, Barocci was highly sought after by both religious and secular patrons during the second half of the 16th century with large-scale works commissioned by Popes Pius IV and Clement VIII. Many of his spiritual paintings served as the altarpieces in smaller rural churches, as well as some of the most important churches in Rome. His work influenced other European masters such as Peter Paul Rubens and combines the High Renaissance’s emphasis
on the human form with the dynamism of the Baroque. Besides his refined paintings, he pioneered the use of pastel drawings and oil sketches in his preparatory studies and completed thousands of drawings and sketches. His innovations in composition and careful study of nature heavily influenced the Baroque. An international symposium will be held Jan. 10 through 12, 2013, featuring exhibition curators Judith W. Mann, curator of European art to 1800; Babette Bohn, professor of art history at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth; and Carol Plazzotta of the National Gallery, London, as well as an international panel of scholars. A keynote address will be given by David Ekserdjian, professor of the History of Art and Film at the University of Leicester. Following its presentation at the Saint Louis Art Museum, the exhibition will travel to The National Gallery in London, where it will be on display from Feb. 27 to May 19, 2013. “Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master” has been organized by the Saint Louis Art Museum in association with The National Gallery, London, in collaboration with the Soprintendenza per il Patrimonio Storico, Artistico ed Etnoantropologico delle Marche – Urbino and the Polo Museale Fiorentino, Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi, Florence, and with generous support of the Kupferstichkabinett, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. “Federico Barocci: Renaissance Master” opens Oct. 21 and will run through Jan. 20, 2013, in the museum’s Main Exhibition Galleries. The exhibition is open during regular museum hours. To allow sufficient time for visitors to enjoy the exhibition, the last ticket entry will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, Saturday, and

Museum celebrates re-installed Native American galleries The Saint Louis Art Museum announces the opening of Art of the Great Plains and Selected Works of Native American Art. Comprised of works of art from the Museum’s recently acquired Danforth Collection, as well as its Native American Collection and loans from prominent St. Louis collections, the opening of these two re-installed galleries will be celebrated as part of The American Arts Experience set for October 5– 21 in Saint Louis. Families with children of all ages are invited to the Museum for Family Sundays in October to enjoy Life on the Plains, programs focusing on the re-installed Native American Galleries with a variety
18
of tours and art activities. On Sunday, October 7, the Museum will host a festival celebrating the opening of the galleries. On Saturdays in October the education department of the Museum, in concert with The American Arts Experience, will offer a series of workshops for both children and adults. Focusing on the fundamental importance of the buffalo, not just in Native American life but also culture, three distinct classes for a range of age groups will explore the galleries with Museum staff and learn to make a variety of art objects. For registration information visit slam.org/education. The Danforth Collection comprises the

core of the Museum’s Native American art collection and includes works of art dating from the 1850s to 1890s, a time when many Plains Indians faced many external pressures and monumental shifts in their economic and social lives. Despite these great changes and dislocations, Native artists continued to make everyday objects into enduring works of art. Donald Danforth Jr. realized the value of preserving these traditions for future generations and developed a superb collection of art objects including moccasins, cradleboards, beaded clothing, and pipe bags. Danforth’s extraordinary collection, gifted to the Museum in 2010 by his wife, Carolyn
Danforth, includes 276 objects . Curated by Jill Ahlberg Yohe, Mellon Fellow in Native American Art, the galleries represent artistic traditions across native North America and display numerous works of art made from diverse materials. Objects include a spectacular ceramic storage jar, or olla, from the South West, as well as a hide painting depicting the Battle of Little Bighorn from the perspective of a Tsistsistas (Cheyenne) warrior.

Kodner Gallery to showcase Haynes One of the region’s most admired artists, Bryan Haynes, brings the Midwest landscape to life in his upcoming solo exhibition, Narrative Landscapes: New Works by Bryan Haynes, Oct. 5 through 31 at Kodner Gallery. The opening night cocktail reception with the artist is from 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 5, at Kodner Gallery, 9650 Clayton Road. With his expressive rolling hills and vibrant colors, Haynes carries on the pastoral legacy of 1930s Regionalist painters Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood. Yet his contemporaries recognize something distinct, modern and relevant in his work. “We are honored to be holding such a special exhibition for Bryan Haynes. He is one of Missouri’s most talented painters who illustrates the Midwest with pure and romantic representations of its natural scenery,” said Jonathan Kodner,
owner of Kodner Gallery. The opening reception includes a silent auction of an original piece created by Bryan Haynes. All of the proceeds from the silent auction and a portion of the proceeds from the sales of any other artwork in this exhibition will be donated to the Kodner Gallery Art Therapy Program at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Specialty Hospital. With his commercial work, muralist Bryan Haynes has graced the pages of national magazines, international advertising campaigns, CD covers, posters, and book covers, from Agatha Christie to the cover of Scarlett, the sequel to Gone With the Wind. Among his recent corporate and institutional commissions are murals and large-scale paintings for the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., the Missouri Botanical Garden’s permanent collection and the Westward Expansion Memorial Museum at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Haynes has won numerous awards, including The Society of Illustrators-New York awards, Print Magazine Awards, Communication Arts Awards, and Graphis-Switzerland. Proceeds from the sale of Haynes’ work during the Masters Series on September 15 and during Narrative Landscapes: New Works by Bryan Haynes will benefit Ranken Jordan Pediatric Specialty Hospital, www.rankenjordan.org.

The Arts Artistic adventures STAGES announces new season STAGES ST. LOUIS proudly announces its 27th season! The season opens with the touching and true story of Country music legend Patsy Cline and her friendship with Texas housewife Louise Seger in the musical Always… Patsy Cline (May 31 - June 30). Next up, STAGES goes pink with the Broadway hit about a sorority girl determined to prove everyone wrong, including herself in Legally Blonde, The Musical (July 19 - August 18). The season concludes with one of the great literary classics in the grand musical theatre tradition, Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady (September 6 - October 6). The three main stage shows will play at The Robert G. Reim Theatre in Kirkwood. In addition, the 2013 season Theatre for Young Audiences production, Disney’s Cinderella, will run June 19 – June 30 at the Skip Viragh Center for the Arts at Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis. “The 2013 Season is all about women who made powerful choices in their lives,” explains Executive Producer Jack Lane. “These driven and intelligent women, both fictional and real, beat the odds to carve out meaningful and vital lives. Presenting this fabulous four to the St. Louis community will be a great honor in 2013.” Always... Patsy Cline May 31 - June 30 The touching and true story of Country music legend Patsy Cline and her friendship with Texas housewife Louise Seger comes to life in the musical Always... Patsy Cline. Told through the heartfelt and hilarious memories of Louise, this endearing tale focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Louise hears of Patsy's untimely passing at age thirty. Combining down home country humor, unbridled heartache and 27 of Patsy Cline's unforgettable hits such as "Crazy," "Walking After Midnight," and "Sweet Dreams," Always... Patsy Cline endures as a piece of genuine Americana. Written and Originally Directed by Ted Swindley; Based on a true story; Featuring the music of Patsy Cline. Legally Blonde, The Musical July 19 - August 18 Omigod, you guys, look who's coming to STAGES! It's Elle Woods, that sassy blonde we all know and love from the popular romantic comedy, Legally Blonde. Sorority sister Elle thinks she has her future all tied up with a nice, little pink ribbon, until her boyfriend suddenly dumps her for someone more "serious." But don't break out the tissues just yet! This is one girl who doesn't take "no" for an answer as she sets out to prove that being true to yourself and going after "what you want" never goes out of style. Positively the perfect evening of fun, romance and everything pink! Music and Lyrics by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe; Book by Heather Hach; Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the MetroGoldwyn-Mayer motion picture. My Fair Lady September 6 – October 6 One of the great literary classics in the grand musical theatre tradition, My Fair Lady radiates a charm and sophistication unlike any other. The thrilling transformation of a lowly flower girl in Victorian London into a ravishing upper class lady has moved audiences for over
fifty years. This show is the gold standard by which all others are measured, reigning as a triumphant American masterpiece. With joyous show-stoppers and gorgeous ballads such as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” and “Get Me to the Church on Time,” Lerner and Loewe’s score couldn’t be closer to pure perfection. You’ll “grow accustomed” to this “loverly” classic as “your heart takes flight” in My Fair Lady! Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner; Music by Frederick Loewe; Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Play and Gabriel Pascal's motion picture “Pygmalion.” Disney’s Cinderella – Theatre for Young Audiences June 19 – June 30 The treasured Disney retelling of everyone’s favorite fairy tale comes to glorious life in this delightful stage adaptation. Endlessly mistreated by her wicked stepmother, Cinderella is denied a chance to go to the Royal Ball. But with a sprinkle of magic from her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella meets her Prince, falls in love, and lives happily ever after! With an enchanting score including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and the magical "BibbidiBobbidi-Boo," Disney’s Cinderella will charm its way into your heart, and once again remind you that dreams really do come true. Music and Lyrics by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston; Book adapted and additional lyrics by Marcy Heisler; Music adapted and arranged by Bryan Louiselle; Based on the screenplay by Ken Anderson and Homer Brightman.

Art Museum announces dates for opening of East Building The Board of Commissioners of the Saint Louis Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening dates for its new East Building, designed by renowned British architect Sir David Chipperfield. A free, two-day public festival June 29-30, 2013 will invite the entire community to celebrate the completion of this landmark project. “St. Louisans can look at this accomplishment with pride,” said J. Patrick Mulcahy, President of the Board of Commissioners. “Each of us has taken a role in securing the Saint Louis Art Museum’s place among the great art museums of the world.” The 200,000-square-foot East Building has been sited to the east and south of the Museum’s Main Building, designed in the Beaux Arts style by architect Cass Gilbert and completed for the city’s 1904 World’s Fair. Chipperfield’s design for the new East Building features a dramatic dark, polished concrete façade incorporating Missouri river aggregates, and new galleries and public spaces with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows that invite and provide views from both inside and outside. “The expansion project is t r a n s f o r m a t i o n a l . E v e r y a re a of our collection is benefitting from additional gallery space,” said Museum Director Brent R. Benjamin. “The new building will enable a dramatically expanded presentation of the great strengths
of the collection, including works of art that have rarely, and in some cases never been on public view.” In addition to providing a 30% increase in the Museum’s gallery and public spaces, the design more than doubles the Museum’s previous parking capacity and includes a 100-seat destination restaurant with sweeping views of Forest Park. The project has also allowed extensive improvements to the South Building’s education spaces and auditorium. The $162 million project was made possible by the largest capital campaign for a cultural institution in St. Louis history. “The success of this project is the result of St. Louisans stepping forward to support their Art Museum and its future,” said John Weil, Chair of the Campaign Steering Committee and President of the Board of Commissioners (2008-2011). Details on the two-day celebration as well as events leading up to the opening are being developed; for more information visit slam.org/expansion.

Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres from 5 – 7 p.m.; galleries are open until 9 p.m. for First Fridays in Grand Center. The exhibition runs through January 19, 2013, is organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions and is part of the American Arts Experience, St. Louis. The exhibition is made possible by Chris Kaplan and Barbara and Arthur McDonnell. Gallery hours are Tuesdays, Noon – 8 p.m.; Wednesdays, Thursdays and
ily Owned Fam Est.
Fridays, Noon – 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and one hour prior to Sheldon performances and during intermission. Admission is free. For more information on the exhibition, visit the galleries’ website at www. thesheldon.org/galleries.asp. Arnold Newman: Luminaries of the Twentieth Century in Art, Politics and Culture features photographs of some of the most innovative minds and personalities that defined a century as seen through the eyes of one of its own: Arnold Newman. With over 60 images, this collection features portraits of those who gave rise to the ideas and concepts that have shaped our world, including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Marcel Duchamp, Igor Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder, Ayn Rand, Langston Hughes, Martha Graham, Man Ray, Leonard Bernstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, John F. Kennedy, Philip Glass and Woody Allen, among many others. With a career spanning 60 years, Newman’s body of work reads as a roll-call of the most influential names of the 20th century. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is acknowledged as one of the great masters of photography, and his work has changed the photographic portrait. Recognized as the “Father of Environmental Portraiture,” Newman was influenced by early photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and the school of Modernism. He quickly developed his own unique visual style and technique, placing his subjects in the midst of the stuff of their genius. His portraits at once speak to his talent as a photographer and his unparalleled ability to capture the personality of his subjects. Born on March 3, 1918 in New York City, Newman was raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey and M i a m i B e a c h , F l o r i d a . F ro m 1936 – 1938, he studied art at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, where he received a scholarship.

Dining Delights A creamy vegetable soup minus the cream By SARA MOULTON For The Associated Press Years ago, when I was pregnant with my kids, all the advice books swore that smart momsto-be made sure to eat broccoli three times a day. I t s e e m e d a b i t e x t re m e t o me, but I went with it. It wasn’t t h a t h a rd . I ’ v e a l w a y s l o v e d broccoli, even if it does have an unfortunate aroma. It’s an excellent source of protein, calcium, iron, dietary fiber and many vitamins and m i n e r a l s . A n d e a t i n g i t t h re e times a day when I was pregnant did not kill my affection for it after I gave birth. It helps that it’s easy to cook, too. Broccoli does well steamed, roasted, grilled or sauteed. You can also boil it, of course, as long as you don’t overdo it, which not only chases away all the nutrients and turns the vegetable to mush, but also amps up that funky smell. Bottom line — broccoli is hearty and fullbodied. It can be the main actor in any meal. Which is why broccoli is the star of this substantial stickt o - y o u r- r i b s s o u p f o r f a l l . To be sure, there’s some Canadian bacon in it, adding flavor, but it plays only a supporting role. Pork in all its forms, especially regular old bacon, is the darling of many chefs these days. But I don’t add it willy-nilly to every recipe, not least because of its fattiness. Canadian bacon, by contrast, delivers that same smoky taste — reminiscent of the hearth and fall leaves burning — without a ton of calories. Canadian bacon actually is smoked pork loin, one of the leanest parts of the pig, and has n o re l a t i o n t o re g u l a r b a c o n , which comes from the fatty belly. And just as this soup boasts smokiness without a lot of bacon fat, it is thick and creamy w i t h o u t a n y b u t t e r, c re a m o r flour. The trick? Pureeing the vegetables. Any soup with enough vegetables will be creamy when you puree it. And just about any vegetable will work, though I’ll admit I smuggled in a single Yukon gold potato to assist the broccoli in this recipe. A n d b y t h e w a y, a s o u p without a lot of cream or butter will not only be leaner, it also will taste that much more vividly of the vegetables with which it is made. Cream and butter, much as I love them, tend to tamp down flavor. The best tool to puree these vegetables is a blender. But if all you have on hand is a food processor or an immersion blender, don’t worry. The finished soup won’t be quite as silky smooth, but it’ll still be delicious. And to save time and money, I’ve used every part of the broccoli. I roasted 3 cups of the florets and added them at the end to add crunch and color to the soup. I hope you will consider this mostly vegetable soup a suitable candidate for the main course at dinner. With some grilled or toasted country bread and a green salad on the side, I promise
22
you will be plenty satisfied. SMOKY CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP WITH SHARP CHEDDAR Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 mains or 8 starters 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3/ 4 p oun d Canadian bacon, chopped 1 medium yellow onion, sliced (about 1 cup) 2 pounds fresh broccoli (4 cups small florets set aside, the rest, i n c l u d i n g t h e stalks, trimmed of tough skin and coarsely chopped) 1 s m a l l Yu k o n g o l d p o t a t o (about 6 ounces), scrubbed and thinly sliced 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated Heat the oven to 450 F. In a large saucepan over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a bowl and set aside. Reduce the heat to mediumlow. Add another tablespoon of the oil and the onion to the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Add the coarsely chopped broccoli (not the florets), potato and chicken broth. Bring the broth to a boil, then re d u c e t h e h e a t a n d s i m m e r, partially covered, for 20 minutes, stirring every so often, or until t h e b ro c c o l i a n d p o t a t o e s a re very tender. Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet toss the florets with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, t h e n s p re a d i n a n e v e n l a y e r.

Dining Delights Does creme friache have a place at your table? By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Not sure what creme fraiche is or why you should care? Consider it a relative of sour cream. Except that while both are white, thick and creamy, creme fraiche is the richer, sexier and more talented relative. Here’s the deal. Like yogurt, sour cream and creme fraiche are dairy products produced thanks to the miracle of friendly bacteria. But while yogurt is made by adding those bacteria to milk, sour cream and creme fraiche are made by adding them to cream. So what’s the difference? Sour cream is made from cream that is 20 percent fat; creme fraiche sports an even more succulent 30 percent. That may not sound like a big difference, but it matters in both taste and versatility. That extra fat turns creme fraiche into a kitchen workhorse. But first, taste. While sour cream tastes, well... sour, creme fraiche is rich and tart. And as a byproduct of the bacteria added to produce it, creme fraiche tends to make other foods taste buttery. But unlike yogurt, creme fraiche isn’t particularly acidic (so it’s not great for marinades). The trouble with sour cream is that you have to be very careful when cooking with it. Heat it too much and it curdles. Ditto for yogurt. But the higher fat content of creme fraiche means you can boil with abandon and it won’t separate. This makes it ideal for soups, sauces and simmered dishes. It will, however, liquefy. That
means that if you add it to the top of something, then toss it under the broiler (as in the recipe for croque monsieur below), or even just dollop it onto something hot, it will melt. In France, where it originates, creme fraiche often is used in sauces for vegetables, particularly green beans and cauliflower, as well as in salad dressings, soups and pastries, and to top fresh fruit. It’s sometimes used to make caramels and even is added to coffee and cocktails. CROQUE MONSIEUR Adding cornstarch to the creme fraiche allows you to broil it without it liquefying. It’s an easy and delicious substitute for the traditional roux-based sauce used in croque monsieur. Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 2 1/2 cup creme fraiche 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1/4 cup grated cheddar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt Pinch nutmeg 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 4 slices sandwich bread 4 slices gruyere cheese 8 slices smoked deli ham 1 tablespoon butter, softened Heat the oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, the cheddar, cornstarch, garlic powder, hot sauce, pepper, salt and nutmeg. Set aside. Spread a quarter of the mustard evenly over one side of each slice

Add a little life to your dinner table this fall By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge Acorn, Gem, Butternut, Buttercup, Spaghetti, Kabocha – the list just goes on and on. The start of autumn may mean the end of all those juicy red tomatoes but in exchange it brings with it a bounty of winter squash just waiting to be roasted, turned into hearty stews, added to warming casseroles or even used to create a festive seasonal centerpiece for your table or front steps. The sheer variety of winter squash ensures you can always find one that you like and do something interesting with it. Butternut squash with its rich orangered flesh is the old standby of the winter squash family. It’s the perfect all-rounder with a meaty texture that is great for bulking out stews and casseroles, tastes amazing when made into a soup on its own and can even be substituted for other starchy veggies like potatoes and turned into a yummy mash. Personally, I love it when roasted in the oven with a little olive oil and then scooped out and added to risotto.

Those watching their waistlines have known for years that spaghetti squash is the perfect way to enjoy your favorite pasta without overdoing it on the carbs. It was a particular favorite of mine in college when I didn’t have much spare cash. I’d simply bake it in the oven, scoop out the noodle-like flesh and dump a jar of spaghetti sauce over it with and maybe a can of flaked tuna for some added protein. It was simple, nutritious and great value for money. Winter squash is low in calories, high in fiber and an excellent source of beta carotene. This is especially true of the varieties with dark orange flesh. It is also a great source of folate (same as folic acid but found naturally in fresh foods) and vitamins A, B, C, plus magnesium and potassium. They also look beautiful when used as part of an autumn cornucopia decoration or even simply placed strategically in front of your house. A little basket piled high with different varieties in a multitude of colors and textures looks impressive in the middle of the dining table and is such an

easy thing to do. However, winter squash can be a little intimidating if you don’t know what to do with it. That’s why this recipe from www.friedasproduce.com is a great place to start. You can use any type – whatever catches your fancy – and start experimenting. This particular recipe mixes the squash in with a variety of other vegetables for a tasty and healthy side dish. Squash and Summer Vegetable Medley Ingredients: 2 pounds Winter Squash (such as Kabocha, Acorn, Buttercup, Banana, or Butternut), halved 1 cup carrots, julienne-cut 1 cup Sugar Snap Peas, halved crosswise 1/2 cup Pearl Onions 1/2 cup whole kernel corn 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegan Worcestershire, such as Annie’s Naturals) 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper Steps: In a microwaveable dish, place squash pieces cut side down in 1/4 cup water. Cover loosely; microwave on high (100%) power for 7 to 10 minutes, turning dish once during cooking. Remove squash from dish; cover and chill 30 minutes to 24 hours. Meanwhile, arrange carrots in microwaveable dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover loosely; microwave 3 minutes. Add sugar snap peas; cook 1 minute more. Cover and chill. Place pearl onions in dish with 1 cup water; cover loosely. Microwave for 3 minutes. Run in cold water; trim off root ends and slip off skins. Chill with other vegetables. To assemble salad, scoop out seeds from squash; trim off skin from pulp. Cut pulp into 1-inch chunks; place in a large bowl with remaining vegetables. In a small bowl, stir together minced garlic, lemon juice, oil, Worcestershire, mustard, and pepper. Drizzle over vegetables and toss gently to coat. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
