Laura Lynch shows off some of her creations.
Cakes from YouTube to your table By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge
L
aura Lynch has turned her love of baking and decorating custom cakes into a new business in downtown Edwardsville.
In July, Lynch opened Bailey Cakes at 229 N. Main St. Lynch, who grew up in Girard but currently lives in Highland with her husband and four young children, had been baking and decorating cakes for family and friends out of her kitchen. She was their “go-to person” whenever someone needed a custom cake for a special occasion. Interestingly, Lynch said that everything she had learned back then, she learned online. “Through YouTube – searching – they have tons of tutorials,” she said. “And I’d just make stuff. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I’d look up recipes, put it together. I loved it. I thought it was really fun.” While Lynch was enjoying the creative process, her family and friends were enjoying her finished products. “Everybody loved it, and I really enjoyed doing it so I decided that I needed to find a way to do it as a profession,” she said. Lynch enrolled in a one-year program at Le Cordon Bleu in St. Louis to learn more about baking and cake decorating. As part of her graduation requirements, she needed to fulfill an internship which
Bailey Cakes owner loves what she does she did at Patty Cakes in Highland. After finishing her internship, Lynch said that Pat of Patty Cakes hired her on as an employee where she worked under Pat’s guidance for a total of about two years. “I love her to death,” Lynch said as she talked about the time she spent working for Pat. “She was like a second mom to me. She’s the same age as my mom and she was a great mentor. She taught me a lot.” Eventually Lynch decided it was time to go out on her own. She said that she initially thought that making custom cakes for people was something she could do at home and still be with her four children – 2, 4 and 6 year old boys and a 6 year old twin girl. “But then it got to be the matter of – you can’t decorate a cake with four little kids around. It doesn’t work,” she said. She quickly realized she’d need to bake and decorate after she put her children to bed at night but that turned into marathon baking nights. “It would be five o’clock in the morning and they’d be waking up, and I’d be dragging,” Lynch said with a chuckle. During a time when she and her husband lived in Marine and had an unfinished basement, Lynch said she considered possibly making the basement into a work space for her custom cakes. “Well, that just didn’t play out either because it
was still just a matter of the time and having the separation from the kids,” Lynch said. As time went on Lynch said their house became storage for her baking supplies and their kitchen would be overtaken with baking and decorating supplies whenever she baked a cake. “I have my 20 quart Hobart mixer I used to keep in the closet. Every time I had to make a big batch of icing I was pulling the mixer out, and my husband was like – 'I need my kitchen back,'” Lynch said laughing. After leaving Patty Cakes, Lynch tried working for a while at a hospital. “I liked the hours because I only worked from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. which was wonderful because I got up and I was done before the kids got home from school, but it just wasn’t my thing,” Lynch explained. It was at that time that Lynch found herself at a crossroad. “Do I go and work somewhere for someone or what do I do?” she recalled thinking. “To me I need something that has the potential to be more than just a minimum wage, nine to five job. I need to provide for my family. I hadn’t made a cake in like a month and I was like, “What am I doing? I just love it (baking).” On July 9, Lynch opened Bailey Cakes – named after her 6 year old daughter. Coming from an
entrepreneurial family, opening a business seemed second-nature to her. “Almost everybody in my family owns their own business. It’s one of those things,” Lynch said. “My mom has owned a truck stop. The way I met my husband – he and his dad owned a pizza restaurant. It’s now time for me to branch out and have my own (business).” She said deciding on Edwardsville as her location was easy. “I’ve always said I love Edwardsville, and there isn’t any place around here that does this,” Lynch pointed out. She originally envisioned being located on Route 157 in Edwardsville next to Elegant Brides and Treo Salon. “You come and get your dress, your cake and your hair all in one stop,” Lynch said joking. But as luck would have it, the location on Main Street was available so she took it. “I really like this area. And I really like downtown,” she added. “It’s really nice down here. Everyone is very friendly – you get to know your neighbors.” Bailey Cakes is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Walk-in customers can purchase cupcakes for $3.50 each or cookies for $2 each. Cupcakes come in 17 different flavors which Lynch rotates to provide a variety for
October 24, 2013
walk-in customers. Cookies include peanut butter, chocolate chip, gooey butter and double chocolate chunk. Bailey Cakes also carries Coke, Diet Coke, juice, coffee, bottled water, and Wang Gang sodas. Custom cakes or cupcakes can be ordered in advance for any occasion – weddings, baptism, baby shower, birthdays. “If you can think of a reason to make it, I’ll make it,” Lynch said. “I usually ask that they give me at least a week’s notice. But if I can accommodate people on a short notice, I usually do.” Lynch’s mother, Belva Sparks, has been helping her daughter at Bailey Cakes when she can. Lynch said that her mother has been extremely valuable in helping walkin customers when she’s busy in the back decorating cakes. When asked what Sparks thought about her daughter’s new business venture, Sparks showed complete confidence in her daughter saying, “Well I know she has the talent.” Lynch is equally confident in her abilities and is hopeful that she will follow in her mentor Pat’s shoes. “Pat has done that (Patty Cakes) for 32 years,” she said. “I hope that this (Bailey Cakes) will be something my daughter will want to do possibly, and this will be a family business for us, too.” For additional information about custom cakes, call Bailey Cakes at 656-4800 or email Lynch at Baileycakes4u@gamail.com.

People People planner Dunham returning to St. Charles The nation’s number one comedian Jeff Dunham and his beloved cast of characters announce the kick off of the winter leg of their 2013 “Disorderly Conduct” worldwide t o u r. T h e w i n t e r 2 0 1 3 / 2 0 1 4 international concert series begins on December 26, 2013 in Toledo, OH and continues through February 28, 2014 in Champaign. IL. Dunham is scheduled to appear at the Family Arena in St. Charles on Feb. 7. Tickets are available through MetroTix.com or by calling 1-314534-1111. Fans all over the world can look forward to a new jam-packed show with more laughs than ever before. Dunham’s famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J,
the manic purple creature Peanut, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño, and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself. Dunham and his comedic sidekicks most recent Comedy Central onehour special entitled “Minding the Monsters,” is the fifth in a string of record-breaking specials. “Minding the Monsters” takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is, watch Bubba J rise from the dead, meet Peanut’s alter ego, The Purple Avenger of the Night, and his spicy sidekick, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist! It debuted on Comedy Central to 7.5 million viewers, making it the most watched special of the year for the network. Upon its release on
DVD, it was the #1 comedy DVD on Amazon.com and exceeded platinum sales within 6 days. It has already reached triple platinum status. The amazing rise of Jeff Dunham continues apace, with 2013 having seen Jeff continue to pack arena-sized venues. Dunham and his sidekicks are preparing for their sixth trip to Europe this fall, stopping in the U.K., Germany, and Belgium. In 2013, fans will also get the
chance to see Achmed the Dead Terrorist like he's never been seen before! This December, Jeff Dunham will premiere his very first animated feature “Achmed Saves America,” starring the world’s most beloved, failed bad-guy! In this full length animated movie, Achmed is having a very bad day... After accidentally blowing himself up, the world's most incompetent suicide bomber finds himself whisked away from his homeland by a giant bald eagle
and dropped off in... Americaville, USA. There, mistaken by the kind-hearted Wilson family for a visiting French exchange student, "The Little Skeleton That Couldn't" bumblingly plots to destroy the town and all of its "infidels". But, once he's exposed to the sweet things in life -- including all-youcan-eat buffets and frozen yogurt -- Achmed's campaign of hate turns into a patriotic All-American lovefest.

Religion Religion breifs Dalai Lama speaks to thousands in suburban Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) — The Dalai Lama has told an audience in suburban Atlanta to focus on love and to be grateful for all that they have. The Tibetan Buddhist leader spoke to thousands of people Tuesday at the Gwinnett Center arena. The focus of this visit is “secular ethics,” which is described as a system of shared principles that go beyond religious differences while still respecting and valuing the significance of religion in people’s lives. The Dalai Lama has held the title of presidential distinguished professor at Emory University since October 2007 and has visited Emory’s campus five times.
Pittsburgh Diocese sues again over health mandates PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh is suing the federal government again seeking to overturn a looming requirement that employers offer contraceptive coverage in employee health plans. A judge in November dismissed a previous lawsuit, saying the diocese has not been harmed by the legislation and that the government had promised to take steps to address religious objections. But the new federal lawsuit claims such promises have proven to be “empty words” — and said the final regulations that take effect Jan. 1 are worse than the proposed regulations that prompted last year’s lawsuit. The Department of Justice, which will defend the new suit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mormons pushing church stance on homosexuality SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church’s stance on homosexuality has softened considerably since it was one of the leading forces behind California’s Proposition 8. T h e U t a h - b a s e d C h u rc h o f Latter-day Saints launched a new website this year encouraging more compassion toward gays. It also implores gay members to stay in the faith, and clarifies that Mormon leaders would no longer necessarily counsel gays to marry people of the opposite sex. In May, church leaders backed the Boy Scouts’ policy allowing gays in the ranks.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews
"Don Jon"
Jon Martello’s relentless libido has a comic math to it. At the club, Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his pals rate girls on a scale of one to “a dime.” He keeps a weekly tally of both his conquests and his far more numerous — and to him more rewarding — porn-aided masturbations. And being a good Catholic boy, every Sunday, he counts up his sins and receives back from the priest his neat sum of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. (He recites them while working out.) His life is a circle of replenishing lust, a ritual of superficial pleasure that adds up to robotic emptiness. Some like it hot; Jon (“Don,” as in Don Juan, to his friends) needs it hot. Even his most attractive catches leave him unsatisfied, and he sneaks out of bed to his laptop. Real sex doesn’t measure up to the fantasy of online pornography that lets him “lose himself.” But “Don Jon,” the writing-directing debut of GordonLevitt, equals something quite substantial: a speedy little comedy about not just sex addiction but modern lives wasted on shallow gratification. There are other contemporary cravings, too: A big-screen TV dominates family meals at his parents’ house (Tony Danza and Glenne Headly shouting back-and-forth like a sitcom couple), where Jon’s younger sister (Brie Larson) pecks away at her smartphone. Jon’s compulsive routine (echoing the “gym-tanlaundry” of “the Situation” from “The Jersey Shore,” a clear inspiration) is broken when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson, in full sex bomb). She requires the “long game” of dating and family-meeting before sleeping with Jon, but he judges her worth it. Their first date is a sparring match of Jersey accents, a dueling “Saturday Night Live” sketch. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “strong graphic sexual material and dialogue throughout, nudity, language and some drug use.” RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2"
On the Edge of the Weekend
"Runner Runner"
A story like that at the heart of “Runner Runner,” about a young American gambler who gets sucked way above his head into the criminal doings of a big-time offshore operator, would have found its ideal life as a tough, punchy, black-andwhite programmer back in the 1950s. Today, it would have been most viable as a grandiose character study done on an operatic scale by a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese or Michael Mann. What’s actually up onscreen in this vaguely ambitious but tawdry melodrama falls into an in-between no man’s land that endows it with no distinction whatsoever, a work lacking both style and insight into the netherworld it seeks to reveal. Despite an intriguing setup and Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake heading the cast, this Fox release holds a losing box-office hand. The opening of the script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (“Solitary Man,” “Oceans 13”) combines with Timberlake’s presence to suggest a somewhat less exceptional variation on “The Social Network’s” focus on maverick entrepreneurialism in the Ivy League. Threatened with expulsion from Princeton unless he shuts down his online gambling site, finance grad student Richie Furst (Timberlake), with nothing now to lose, heads for Costa Rica determined to stick it to the undisputed king of computer gambling, Ivan Black (Affleck). RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and some sexual content.” RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: No ranking.
"Gravity"
It’s not too much of a spoiler to tell you that, because without the FLDSMDFR, more precisely known as the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, there would hardly be reason for a sequel to the sweet and entertaining 2009 family film, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.” And if “Cloudy 2,” which ups the zany quotient in the continued adventures of Flint and his food-producing FLDSMDFR (we just love the name, so we’ll keep saying it) lacks the heart and fresh feel of the original, it almost makes up for it in gorgeous, color-popping visuals and in its most important new creation: the Foodimals. Like we said, almost. But first, what are Foodimals? Your kids probably know already, and pretty soon, they’re gonna be asking for their Foodimals multivitamins. So you’d better educate yourself. Watermelephants. Bananostriches. Shrimpanzees. Tacodiles. Cheesepiders. Yes, the remnants of FLDSMDFR’s food storm have turned into living things. To recap, at the end of the last movie, Flint (voiced by Bill Hader) had saved the world by heroically deactivating his over-performing FLDSMDFR, with the help of his brainy friend and sort-of love interest, Sam (Anna Faris), and others including “Baby” Brent (Andy Samberg), loyal monkey
8
Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and Flint’s dad Tim (James Caan). The sequel, directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, begins precisely eight minutes later, with Flint’s Swallow Falls facing a huge cleanup job from that giant storm created by, yup, the FLDSMDFR. Or, in one of the first of the movie’s many, many puns: a disaster “of epic portions.” RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “mild rude humor.” ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
In an age when we’re able to consume content so many different ways — and that’s a good thing, mostly — let’s declare right now that there’s only one truly correct way to experience “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuaron’s thrilling new space film. In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D. Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers — we hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to see in 3-D. And please, no matter how many months or years pass, don’t watch this film on your little smartphone. If you’ve seen the heart-pounding trailer, you’ll know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts who experience a traumatic accident in space. You may also know about the extraordinary special effects used to create this weightless cinematic world — so extraordinary that many are calling the film a landmark of the sci-fi genre. But what you can’t know, until you’re in the theater, is just how much you’ll feel like you’re up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how you might let yourself forget, momentarily, that this movie wasn’t shot on location. And how you’ll ask yourself, how did they DO this? And how you’ll then forget the question, because you’ll be caught up once again in this 90-minute thrill ride. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and
October 24, 2013
brief strong language.” RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.
"Captain Phillips"
If you saw Paul Greengrass’s “United 93,” a terrifying depiction of one of the doomed flights on 9/11, you know this director can evoke a harrowing, real-life event like few others. In fact, you may not have recovered yet from the experience. So it’s no surprise that Greengrass has produced another expertly crafted, documentary-style film based on a real event — the 2009 hijacking of a cargo ship by Somali pirates and the five-day standoff that ensued, with the ship’s American captain, Richard Phillips, held captive in a stifling covered lifeboat after offering himself as a hostage. A major difference is that this movie has a happy ending — for the captain, anyway, who was rescued in a dramatic high-seas Navy sniper operation. Three of the overmatched attackers were killed; the fourth is in a U.S. prison. More cinematically speaking, the difference is that “Captain Phillips” is a star vehicle. In some cases, this can detract from the sense of veracity of a truth-based film. Tom Hanks, though, delivers some of his finest work here, playing the Everyman role he does so well, in this case a fairly ordinary guy forced by circumstance to be a hero. And yet “Captain Phillips” is a remarkably unsentimental film, with an emotional catharsis coming only at the very end, when we’re all ready for some kind of release. This is where Hanks digs deepest as an actor. As for Hanks, his final moments are his best, as Phillips registers in an intensely personal way the cumulative effects of what he’s endured. It’s safe to say those moments will be what’s remembered most from this movie, and for a long time. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images, and substance use.” RUNNING TIME: 134 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"All Is Lost"
What floats your boat? Do you like your movies with dialogue, multiple characters, complex story lines — you know, stuff? Or can a film without the benefit of such things fill your sails? J.C. Chandor’s second film, “All Is Lost,” starring Robert Redford, is typically characterized by what it isn’t. There’s little in the way of backstory. There’s only one character. And he generally doesn’t talk. There is a man at sea, an old man. And that is about it. Hemingway’s tale is a garish soap opera by comparison. We know little about our unnamed man (Redford). We’re informed that he’s located 1700 nautical miles from Indonesia’s Sumatra Straits. In the opening, he reads in voice over a letter in which he, down to only half a day’s ration, pens a farewell and an apology for some unspecified failing in his now decidedly precarious life. “I tried,” he says. “I think you will all agree that I tried.” The film then properly begins eight days prior, when our man awakes to find that, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a floating cargo ship container has lodged itself in the hull of his 39-foot yacht. It leaves a gaping hole that, aside from threatening to sink him, has destroyed all the ship’s radios and electronics. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “brief strong language.” RUNNING TIME: 107 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

Tom Hanks, director Paul Greengrass, and Captain Richard Phillips, pose for photographers as they walk the red carpet at a screening for the movie "Captain Phillips" at the Newseum Oct. 2 in Washington.
"Captain Phillips" a new role for Hanks By JAKE COYLE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The birth of Tom Hanks, dramatic actor, happened during a table read on “Splash.” As the smitten lead Allen Bauer in Ron Howard’s 1984 film, Hanks began by going for laughs, an instinct from the sitcom “Bosom Buddies.” “And it didn’t go well,” said Hanks in a recent interview. “Ron said to me, literally, ‘Look, I know what you’re doing, and you can’t do that here. You’re not the guy to be funny. These are not jokes. You have to love that girl.”’ Hanks wasn’t done with comedy (“The Bachelor Party,” for one, was to follow), but his trajectory was altered for good: “I was upbraided right off the bat.” “So off it began,” says Hanks, who realizes it could have easily gone another direction. “I wasn’t that far away from putting together three minutes at the Improv.” Some will always wonder what might have
happened had Hanks, with a rare gift for comic timing, put those three minutes together. But three decades after that course correction from Howard, Hanks, 57, may well have given the finest dramatic performance of his career. In the new docudrama “Captain Phillips,” Hanks bears none of that youthful, comic energy, but rather the skill of a grizzled veteran. Gray-bearded and in glasses, his Captain Richard Phillips is for Hanks — who has made a career out of playing ordinary guys — the most regular Joe of them all: a working-class, cargo ship captain from Vermont. The film is based on the 2009 incident where Phillips’ ship, the Maersk Alabama, was hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia. He was kidnapped in a lifeboat, which led to a fraught standoff with the U.S. Navy. For Hanks, who has considered himself something of a “lay historian” since junior high and has a filmography dotted with period tales from “Saving Private Ryan” to producing “John Adams,” “Captain Phillips” is a more recent
chapter in history for the actor. It’s a simple story, told with Paul Greengrass’s visceral, documentary-like naturalism and an empathy that stretches around the globe. With the steady accumulation of details about a small band of desperate, young Somalis (played by a quartet of Somalia-born men from Minnesota and the responses of the ship’s crew, “Captain Phillips” recreates the hijacking into a tensely realistic thriller. When the stress of the standoff finally breaks, a wave of relief overtakes Phillips in an exceptionally raw scene unlike any before in Hanks’ career. Partly improvised toward the end of a lengthy shoot on ships off the coast of Malta, it’s an outpouring that elevates “Captain Phillips” to a higher plane. “We had been through a lot,” says Hanks. “In the course of making a movie, everything that you sort of pretend has happened to you is actually a very tangible thing that’s happened to you. So by the time we got there — I don’t know how to explain it — there was a place for
going there.” “It all happened in a daze as far as I’m concerned.” The role is sure to land Hanks his sixth Oscar nomination (he won for “Philadelphia” and “Forrest Gump”), yet it’s been more than a decade since he was last nominated (for “Cast Away” in 2001). In between, he’s had some duds (“The Da Vinci Code,” “Angels & Demons,” both with Howard), tried farce with the Coen brothers (”The Ladykillers”) and attempted some interesting stretches (playing six characters in last year’s “Cloud Atlas”). He’s directed his second film (“Larry Crown”), made his Broadway debut (Nora Ephron’s “Lucky Guy”) and expanded his production company, Playtone, into digital media (”Electric City” for Yahoo). But with the exception of the snappy and smart “Charlie Wilson’s War” (which, unlike “Captain Phillips,” traded on Hanks’ charisma) it has been a while since Hanks has been so well suited to a film.
Don't let the title fool you By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I chose not to review what I believed to be my most eagerly anticipated movie of the Fall (Captain Phillips) this week not because I didn't think it would be awesome, but because I was lured in by the glitter of a better title. How can you not be curious about something called "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete." I mean, seriously, is that not simultaneously the best and worst title you've ever heard in your life? Having no idea what I was in for, I got my ticket and proceeded into a rather crowded show late Friday night to check it out. I was pleasantly impressed with the performance of two very young stars that carry the majority
of the screen time by themselves. The movie takes place during the Summer after Mister (Skylan Brooks) flunks the eighth grade and must come to terms with repeating it instead of moving on to high school. He's a tough kid, raised in the hard inner-city housing projects that foster prostitution, drug culture, and non-stop violence He's a skinny runt with a bravado that tries (and usually fails) to make up for it. Mister's also used to being the parent in his single-parent family. His mother, Gloria (Jennifer Hudson) is a smack-addicted hooker who works for the neighborhood beast, Kris (Anthony Mackie, nearly unrecognizable behind a Brian Wilson beard) and does a terrible job of supporting and providing for her son. With all of this on his plate - a plate generally devoid
of nutritious food - Mister is also forced to chaperone Pete (Ethan Dizon) during the school-free months. Pete is a little kid whose mom works the corner with Gloria. He has a unique and annoying way of acting both childish and worldly at the same time. Mister treats him largely like a tag-along little brother until the heat ratchets up another notch. When Gloria is swept up in a police raid, Mister and Pete lay low to avoid the cops. As minors, they greatly fear the Housing Authority officers that would quickly plant them inside a boys' re f o r m a t o r y. N o t h i n g w o u l d spell lifelong despair worse than getting caught up in "the system". So what are two boys, even two that are hardened by growing up in such an environment as theirs - supposed to do without parents?
That's where the real meat of this story lays. To survive, they do whatever they can to earn money for food. They panhandle, they lie, they steal, they commit welfare fraud, and they do all of this while steering clear of a boss detective (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Lost's Mr. Eko) and the project snitch (Julito McCullum). Staying one step ahead of the law and two steps ahead of their own dangerous surroundings is a scary gig for young boys. It gets even worse when their utilities are turned off and two run out of water and air conditioning. Mister can't turn to the teacher (Joseph Adams) he abused. They get desperate enough to ask Kris for help, but he just laughs at them. A homeless vet (Jeffrey Wright) briefly advises them, but it ultimately is up to Mister to bring him and Pete
October 24, 2013
through until Gloria gets sprung from jail. Or rehab. They don't even know what happens to her for a long time. This movie is brutal to watch, and sometimes even slightly humorous, but one that realistically depicts the hardships of being among the millions of urban poor in our country. Mister dreams of becoming a sitcom actor and moving to Beverly Hills, but his movie does nothing to let you, as an audience member, off the hook. Social consciousness will stand to benefit well from this well-acted, monstrously-titled film. You heard it here first. "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" runs 125 minutes and is rated R for thematic content, language, drug use, and some sexual content. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

The Arts Edison Theatre to present work of Steven Sater For The Edge
A
girl asks awkward questions. A boy, frustrated by a dead language, erupts into a new one. Latin falls to rock ‘n’ roll. Steven Sater ’s "Spring Awakening" — with its blunt depictions of adolescent sexuality and startling mixture of contemporary expression and fin de siècle restraint — is among the most influential, unexpected and beloved Broadway shows of recent years. The recipient of eight Tony Awards and countless productions around the world, the play launched the careers of Lea Michele and Jonathan Drew Groff (Glee) and John Howard Gallagher Jr. (The Newsroom). On Oct. 25, WUSTL’s Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences will debut a new produciton of "Spring Awakening" in the University’s Edison Theatre. Shows run through Nov. 3. “It’s more rock musical than traditional musical theater,” said director Andrea Urice, senior lecturer in drama. “The actors might be wearing 19th-century costumes, but they bounce around the stage with powerful, aggressive energy. “Even when the subject matter is dark or sad, it’s a joyous,

pleasurable show,” Urice added. “Characters break out of their confines; they grapple and feel and move. “It’s liberating to watch.” Sater, a WUSTL alumnus, based the book and lyrics on the 1891 play of the same title by German writer Frank Wedekind. Music is by the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik. (Sater and Sheik previously collaborated on the album Phantom Moon, an homage to Nick Drake.) Urice noted that Wedekind’s play proved extremely controversial and was not produced until 1906. “It deals very frankly with adolescent sexuality and the repressive educational/parental system,” she explained. “There’s masturbation, same-sex attraction, rape, pregnancy, abortion, suicide… It was a shocking play. “And it’s still shocking today,” Urice said. “What’s brilliant about this adaptation is how Sater and Sheik have coupled the story with very contemporary music. “The book scenes are very much of the period,”Urice added. “It’s a tightly wound world of black-and-white rules and societal pressures. But then you have the music, which takes you inside the characters’ hearts and minds. “The songs become a visceral emotional manifestation of everything the characters are thinking and going through.” Set in provincial Germany in the late 1800s, the story centers
October 24, 2013
on Melchior and Wendla, two young teenagers navigating the onset of sexual feeling as well as the adult world’s pitiless expectations. “Melchior is a kind of golden boy,” Urice said. “He’s good at everything, but he also tends to rock the boat and push people’s buttons. Wendla is a good girl who obeys her parents, but she’s also a seeker. She asks questions. She wants to know what’s going on in the world. “The third lead is Moritz, a friend of Melchior ’s who is just failing on all accounts,” Urice continued. “He’s doing terribly in school. His father beats him. He doesn’t understand sexuality, but he’s obsessed with the things his body is telling him.” To educate his friend, Melchior agrees to pen a kind of homemade pamphlet about sexual reproduction. It’s a decision that will have tragic consequences. “In some ways, this is a brutal story,” Urice said. “But, particularly at emotionally critical moments, the music becomes a kind of interior monologue. It physicalizes and externalizes the characters’ feelings in really exciting ways. “The world can be painful and difficult,” Urice concluded, “but by the end of the play, scales have fallen and eyes have been opened. “We’re all left anticipating the summer that is to come.” Leading the cast of 13 is freshman Katie Greenberg as Wendla, junior Connor Duermit as Melchior and junior Adam
Cohen as Moritz. Also featured are freshman Sarah Gabriel, junior Liza Seiden and sophomore Susan Lee as Wendla’s friends Thea, Martha and Anna. Senior Ariel Saul is Ilse, a young woman rejected by her abusive parents. Senior Connor McEvoy and sophomore Robert Landis are Hänschen and Ernst, classmates to Melchior and Mortiz. Other classmates include junior David Dwight and senior Jack Ritten, as the dreamers Georg and Otto. Rounding out the cast are junior Anna Richards and senior Charles Morris, who between them portray all 14 adult roles. Sets are by Rob Morgan, senior lecturer in drama. Costumes are by Laura Desch, a senior in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. Lighting is by Sean Savoie, lecturer in the PAD. Sound design is by Matthew Koch. Choreography is by Cecil Slaughter, senior lecturer in dance. Musical director is Patrick Blindauer. Stage manager is junior Claire Stark. Sarah Palay is assistant director. Performances of "Spring Awakening" will take place in Edison Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1 and 2; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.

Woolverton.The original creators of the Broadway production are together again for this new touring production! The play is directed by Rob Roth and choreographed by Matt West, with Costume Design by Ann Hould-Ward (Tony Award winner for her work on Disney’s Beauty and the Beast), Lighting
Design by Natasha Katz, Scenic Design by Stanley A.

As a director, it is rare to
October 24, 2013
have the opportunity to revisit your work fifteen years later. Hopefully I’ve grown and developed as an artist, along with my collaborators, and we can bring 15 years of experience to this new production. We have remained very close as a team over the years of producing the show around the world, and it has been so much fun getting together to re-explore and reinvent the show for this new NETworks tour. The theme of ‘Beauty’ is about seeing past the exterior into the heart of someone, and this is reflected in the design for the show, which is about transparency and layers, seeing past one thing and into another.” "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" has become an international sensation that has played to over 35 million people worldwide in 21 countries. For additional information, visit www.

Sheldon exhibit spotlights farm life
images use the agricultural landscape to create a complex vocabulary of visual associations that speak equally about the humanity of these places and a b o u t a r t i s t i c s e l f - d i s c o v e r y. Haber writes: “I’m drawn to the authenticity of small farm life that congregates along the margins in myriad cast-off moments: sunlight on muslin seed bags, wooden crates, plastic mesh, buckets, pots, hoses, a lunar planting calendar, quirky signage. A s I m a d e m o re a n d m o re pictures, the candid beauty and improvised quality I discovered in the unkempt edges of these small farm environments became a focus. I hope it is within the banal details, unsuspecting and unnoticed, that a narrative unfolds, showing the beauty in the randomness and the rep u r p o s i n g . To m e , t h e re i s a
metaphor in the unending cycle of growth and harvest for my own image making.” Sandi Haber Fifield received her MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. She has widely exhibited her photographs in galleries throughout the United States and been included in exhibitions at museums such as The Art Institute of Chicago, The DeCordova Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary P h o t o g r a p h y, T h e O a k l a n d Museum, The Southeast Museum of Photography and The St. Louis Museum. Her work is held in several private and public collections, including The Brooklyn Museum, The George Eastman House, The High Museum, The Library of Congress, The Los Angeles County Museum, The Museum of Modern Art and The New

Family Focus Saint Louis Zoo unveils plans for a new exhibit For The Edge The Saint Louis Zoo today described multiple features of its planned 40,000-square-foot, state-ofthe-art McDonnell Polar Bear Point, that has been under construction since Sept. 3. The $15 million exhibit is expected to be completed in 2015. The exhibit is made possible by many fine donors, with the leadership gift from the JSM Charitable Trust, Mr. and Mrs. James S. McDonnell III and Mr. and Mrs. John F. McDonnell at the top of the list. This is also one of the most exciting of many projects funded by the Zoo’s The Living Promise Campaign. The $120-million Campaign is making possible a range of improvements and new exhibits at the Zoo. “It is critical that zoos protect polar bears, which are declining in the wild and are highly vulnerable,” said Jeffrey P. Bonner, Ph.D., Dana Brown President and Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Louis Zoo. “By working to not only conserve polar bears in the wild but to offer a wonderful habitat for breeding and protecting bears in our care, we can help save these iconic animals.” Just down from Bear Bluffs and next to Penguin & Puffin Coast in the Wild section of the Zoo, this habitat will be able to accommodate an adult male and female bear, who would head up a family of one to three cubs. It will more than double the space of the old polar bear habitat, which had been home to Zoo polar bears from the 1920s until 2009. Transitioning from Sea to Coastline to Land With its natural substrate and saltwater pools, this new habitat will transition seamlessly from sea to coastline (or moraine) to land (tundra). It will offer the polar bears an opportunity to enjoy swimming, diving, rock climbing and digging in the sand. Visitors will also enjoy McDonnell Polar Bear Point’s 22-foot viewing window where polar bears can come right up to the glass to greet them. The sea area will feature a 1,000square-foot Arctic cave room that allows visitors to get up-close and personal with the bears by looking through a four-panel viewing wall that is eight-feet-tall and 21-feet wide.

Pictured are two artists views of the the proposed Polar Bear Point at the Saint Louis Zoo. through a split view window that offers views of the bears swimming in the deep pool and playing in the shallow pool,” said Saint Louis Zoo Curator Mammals/Carnivores Steve Bircher, who adds that guests will also observe bears interacting with their keepers as keepers offer enrichment or go through training exercises with these remarkable animals. Visitors can also purchase bearthemed items in a new gift shop as they enter or leave McDonnell Polar Bear Point. New Systems To Save Water, Energy The exhibit will include a stateof-the-art life support system that recirculates and treats exhibit water; it is a closed loop allowing the Zoo to save 2.3 million gallons of water each year. “Throughout this exhibit, we are
employing sustainable design and construction methods to increase the amount of recycled materials used with this project, including the concrete from the historic bear pits that was crushed on site and is being reused as sub-base and backfill,” said David F. McGuire, Saint Louis Zoo Vice President Architecture and Planning. “We are also installing an automated energy efficient system for heating, cooling and ventilation, in addition to life support systems that conserve water.” Sea Ice Loss Threatens Polar Bears The Zoo’s sustainable practices are aimed at reducing its carbon footprint to help stall the impact of climate change, which causes sea ice to melt. Sea ice is essential to polar bears for hunting seals on ice floes or near breath holes since polar bears are not fast enough swimmers to catch seals
in open water. They stalk and ambush their prey on ice. Over the last 20 years, scientists have documented a dramatic reduction in Arctic sea ice, due to rising temperatures. Recent modeling of future sea ice trends predicts dramatic reductions in sea ice coverage over the next 50 to 100 years and the potential loss of all polar bears near the end of this century. The Saint Louis Zoo participates in the Species Survival Plan® for polar bears—a cooperative breeding program with a number of North American zoos working together to ensure the survival of the species. McDonnell Polar Bear Point will allow for potential breeding of polar bears. The architect for McDonnell Polar Bear Point is PGAV Destinations; Alberici Constructors, Inc. is the construction manager. Rhodey Construction, Inc., is the general contractor for the project. About Polar Bears About Polar Bears: Natives of Arctic coastal areas of Greenland, Norway, Russia, Canada and the United States, the polar bear is among the largest of the carnivorous quadrupeds. They are unique in their white coat and adaptation to an aquatic way of life. Their coat varies from a pure white to a yellowish appearance. Females can weigh up to 655 pounds. Males can grow up to 10 feet long and can weigh 800 to 1,200 pounds. The coat has an outer layer of guard hair over a thick layer of under hair, making it water repellent. Their feet are fur-covered on the bottom, allowing them to swim in arctic waters and walk on snow and ice without freezing. Polar

bears also have a two- to four-inch layer of fat under the skin to add to buoyancy and insulation from the cold. NATURAL/ZOO DIET: In the wild, polar bears live mainly on sea mammals, such as ringed seals, bearded seals and walruses. They also eat carrion found on the shores of the Arctic waters. At the zoos, they are typically fed bear-mix, herring and mackerel. INTERESTING FACTS: The skin of the polar bear is actually black and the individual hairs on its coat are clear and hollow. Light reflecting off of the clear shafts makes the coat appear white; the black skin underneath helps to absorb and retain heat. When the polar bear stands with its head raised, it forms a straight line from the tip of its nose to its tail. This streamlined shape, unlike any other bear, is an adaptation for swimming. In addition, they have webbed paws and a unique blood system that allows them to swim long distances in icy waters. Some polar bears have been observed swimming more than 100 miles. An adult male can consume up to 150 pounds of food in one sitting. In addition, their large stomach allows polar bears to go as many as five or six days between meals. About the Saint Louis Zoo Named America’s #1 Zoo by Zagat Survey and Parenting Magazine, the Saint Louis Zoo is widely recognized for its innovative approaches to animal management, wildlife conservation, research and education. One of the few free zoos in the nation, it attracts about 3,000,000 visitors a year.

Music Tuning in alone in 2012, transforming them Trans-Siberian into a year round tradition that’s Orchestra to perform here to stay. in St. Louis Rogers to appear at Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will celebrate their first 15 years the Family Arena of touring with an encore and final performance of their multiplatinum rock opera, "The Lost Christmas Eve." TSO’s 2013 Winter Tour will begin on November 13th, playing over 100 shows in 67 cities across North America, presented by Hallmark Channel. Live Nation is proud to welcome TSO when they return to Saint Louis for two spectacular shows at Scottrade Center on Monday, December 23 at 3:00pm and 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale now. TSO, whose phenomena has grown year after year, has played over 1,500 shows for more than 10 million fans in the past fifteen years, and quietly became one of the world’s biggest arena rock a c t s . T h e u n p re c e d e n t e d f a n driven growth is a testament to TSO founder Paul O’Neill’s vision of "Rock Theater," the perfect amalgamation of Broadway storytelling with the spectacle of rock, delighting audiences of all ages year after year. For one final year, audiences will get to experience the modern Charles Dickens-like classic, "The Lost Christmas Eve." Following the 2012 premiere of this acclaimed rock opera, critics were raving, calling it "…a must see for any music lover" , "…a rock ‘n’ roll holiday celebration worth seeing !" and an "unrivaled spectacle of sight and sound." "The Lost Christmas Eve" features a diverse soundtrack fusing elements of rock, classical, folk, R&B, and theatrical-styled music, with the story taking you on a journey into the "Capraesque" world of TSO creator / producer, Paul O’Neill. The critically acclaimed rock opera encompasses a rundown hotel, an old toy store, a blues bar, a Gothic cathedral, and their respective inhabitants all intertwined during a single enchanted Christmas Eve in New York City. "The Lost Christmas Eve", performed in its entirety for the final time, will feature the hit single "Wizards in Winter" as well as longtime crowd favorites, "Christmas Nights in Blue" and "Siberian Sleigh Ride." It will be followed by songs from last years EP release from Lava/ Republic, "Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night)", classics from TSO's debut album, "Christmas Eve & Other Stories" and the rest of the heralded catalogue of rock operas. W h i l e o ff t h e ro a d , T S O i s constantly stockpiling new projects in their Rock Theater arsenal, including the rock operas "Gutter Ballet and the New York City Blues Express," "Letters from the Labyrinth" and "Romanov: When Kings Must Whisper", an epic story set amidst the Bolshevik Revolution. Since their debut in 1996, TSO has defied the rules of an everchanging music industry being regarded as a mix of The Who’s "Tommy", Andrew Lloyd Weber ’s musicals, and Pink Floyd’s expansive light show.. Year after year, the group has ranked in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and attendance, according to Pollstar magazine. Having played live to over one million fans each year TSO saw a 15% increase in sales
Kenny Rogers has already had a massive year in 2013, including the announcement of his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame this fall. Rogers also performed on the main stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival to a colossal audience on the grounds and around the UK as it was televised on BBC. His Through The Years World Tour has included stops in Morocco, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, Canada and the U.S. This fall and winter, Rogers’ tour will roll on with more U.S. and Canadian dates, including the Christmas & Hits Through The Years Tour, his annual holiday performances, in late November and December. In addition, a novel Rogers co-wrote with Mike Blakely, What Are The Chances, is being released today (September 3rd) and Rogers’ New York Times Best Selling autobiography, Luck Or Something Like It, will be released in paperback on September 27th. Rogers returns with You Can’t Make Old Friends on October 8th via Warner Bros. Records, proving – once again – that he still has plenty to say. The album reunites Rogers with long-time friend and collaborator, Dolly Parton, for a brand new duet on the title track, “You Can’t Make Old Friends.” It was thirty years ago almost to the day when Kenny and Dolly released “Islands In The Stream,” which went on to become an instant classic and one of the most successful singles by a duo in history.
Rogers will appear Wednesday, December 11, 2013 @ 8:00 p.m. at the Family Arena in St. Charles on Arena Parkway. Tickets can be purchased at the Family Arena Ticket Office or online at www.metrotix.com. Prices: $68 (Gold Circle), $58 (Floor), $48 (Lower Lever), $33 (Upper Level).

RAIN to take the stage at The Fox Direct from their phenomenally successful Broadway engagement, the internationally-acclaimed Beatles concert, RAIN: A Tribute to
the Beatles, returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre for three shows only November 15 & 16. Tickets for RAIN at the Fox will go on sale Saturday, September 7 at 10am online at MetroTix.com, by phone at 314-534-1111 and in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office.

Please refer to FabulousFox. com for current pricing. RAIN has been added as an off-series special of the 2013-2014 U.S. Bank Broadway Series. As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Associated Press), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. In addition, new songs are being included with the launch of the 2013 Tour. Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and
nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-fornote performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (I Want To Hold Your Hand, Hard Day’s Night, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be, Come Together, Hey Jude and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends! “The audience is enraptured. They get a chance to sing along, twist and shout! –The New York Times “Just turn off your mind, relax and float downstream for a quick fix of nostalgic cheer!” - Entertainment Weekly “A fun-filled family crowdpleaser!” – Toronto Star “ A two-hour homage to pop music’s most brilliant gem.” – Los Angeles Times “On their feet, with arms raised high above their heads, all in the audience were swaying and singing along in blissed-out, nostalgiapowered unison! -- Chicago SunTimes

In the bearded, Birkenstocked ‘70s, the Moosewood Restaurant in upstate New York was more than a vegetarian eatery. It was the standard-bearer of a movement, iconic of a lifestyle, an ethic and an ideal. And like so many hippies from that era, Moosewood has grown up. “The image was definitely crunchy granola back in the day,” says Mary Margaret Chappell, food editor of Vegetarian Times magazine. “It has a much more sophisticated image than it did then. Because vegetarianism has a much more sophisticated image than it did then. You don’t have to be part of a commune and eating tofu. We have former presidents who are vegans. The world has changed and Moosewood has changed with it.” Since it opened in 1973, the Ithaca, N.Y., restaurant has evolved from a group of 20-somethings cooking for friends into a mature business with a line of cookbooks and an international clientele. The group’s 40th anniversary cookbook, “Moosewood Restaurant Favorites” (St. Martin’s Press, 2013), showcases a more sophisticated cuisine that is lighter, more diverse, and attuned to concerns about gluten, dairy and potential allergens. Quite simply, today’s Moosewood is not the vegetarian menu of four decades ago. Recipes for dukkahcrusted fish and Turkish borekas extend the restaurant’s reputation f o r i n t ro d u c i n g i n t e r n a t i o n a l concepts and lighten the load on the obligatory tofu recipes; brown rice has been joined by trendy grains such as quinoa. “The perception of Moosewood then and as it remains is authentic, honest food,” says Wynnie Stein, coowner of Moosewood Restaurant. “We’ve never changed that aspect of who we are. We’re not interested in tiny little portions or overdecorated plates. That’s not who we are. We serve generous portions of very satisfying delicious food.” The original “Moosewood Cookbook,” published in 1977, was the point of entry for many of today’s older vegetarians (though not all of the restaurant’s dishes were vegetarian). Penned by cookbook author Mollie Katzen, a member of the restaurant’s founding group, it had hand-lettered pages and whimsical illustrations. It was the book that introduced a generation of college students to meat-free cooking. And to cooking in general. “The first recipe I ever cooked was from Moosewood,” says Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine, who was a college student in the early 1980s. “It was all part of a scene. And it really introduced cooking to so many people who were young and had never cooked and that lifestyle really spoke to them.” Though Katzen has been gone from Moosewood for more than 30 years, she may still be its bestknown voice. The cover of her new cookbook, “The Heart of the Plate” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013), proudly touts her as “author of ‘Moosewood Cookbook.”’ THAI BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)
milk 2 cups baby spinach, cut into chiffonade Sugar 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) In a stock or large soup pot over medium-low, heat the oil. Add the onions, garlic and salt and cook until the onions have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ginger and curry paste and cook for a minute or two more. Add the squash and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the squash is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While the squash is cooking, zest and juice the lime. Add about a teaspoon of the zest and 1 tablespoon of the juice to the pot (reserving the extra). When the squash is tender, stir in the coconut milk. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor, then puree until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids. Return the soup to the pot and reheat. Taste and adjust the flavor with spoonful of sugar, if desired, as well as additional lime juice and/or curry paste. Stir in the spinach and cilantro and heat until just wilted.
