Clyde Choate exhibit is Saturday COBDEN — The Union County Museum will present an exhibit on the World War II career of Clyde Choate. Choate, from Anna, was presented the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1945 for his bravery while commanding a tank destroyer near Bruyeres, France on Oct. 25, 1944. He served as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion and was honored for assaulting an enemy tank that prevented the Germans from capturing a battalion command post. The display will feature the Congressional Medal of Honor and a variety of artifacts from Choate’s war career that were loaned by his family. “This is a great honor to have the medal on display and to feature an exhibit on Mr. Choate. Since this is the 70th anniversary of the event, we thought it would be the perfect time to do this,” said Historical Society president Patrick Brumleve. The exhibit will feature other memorabilia from World War II including items from a private collection. Choate served in the Illinois House for 30 years and was a prominent political leader. The Choate Center in Anna is named in his honor. The display will open with a reception from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, and will close on Sunday, Sept. 28. The Union County Museum in Cobden is normally open from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and is operated by the Union County Historical and Genealogy Society.

HERRIN – Two documentaries on Herrin will be broadcast starting at 9 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28 on WSIU-TV. “A Magical Season: the 1957 Herrin Tigers” which came out in 2009 and “A History of Herrin” will both be shown next week. “A History of Herrin,” which was produced in conjunction with Herrin’s centennial celebration in 2000, won an award of excellence from the Illinois State Historical Society. The film chronicles Herrin’s rise as a coal mining community in the early 20th century to a bustling retail and manufacturing center in the 1940s and 50s to a more serviceoriented community at the end of the millennium. Produced by long-time Herrin resident Gordon Pruett, “A History of Herrin” makes extensive use of vintage photographs and post cards, archival film footage and interviews with historians and key Herrin residents. “A Magical Season: the 1957 Herrin Tigers” highlights the 1956-57 season in which the Tigers surprised everyone in winning the state basketball championship at a time when all Illinois schools competed in one class. All-American John Tidwell and All-Stater Ivan Jefferson led the team along with Richard Box, who was named Most Valuable Player of the championship game. Preceding the two films is a short InFocus interview with Pruett who spearheaded the production of the two films. The documentaries, along with additional features, were packaged as a

Young love lives or dies with one decision in ‘If I Stay’ ‘If I Stay’ **½
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some sexual material; starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Jamie Blackley, Joshua Leonard, Stacy Keach; directed by R.J. Cutler; opening Friday at AMC ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Illinois 8 in Marion.

‘Sin City 2: A Day to Kill For’
ROGER MOORE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
anipulative, contrived, M melodramatic — all labels we slap on that most perfectly titled movie genre, “the weeper.” All fit “If I Stay” like original packaging.Teenage girls and the boys who want to date them need to discover the pleasures of a wellexecuted teen weeper for themselves, and this film fills the bill. Chloe Grace Moretz takes on her first real star-vehicle romance in this adaptation of Gayle Forman’s novel. Moretz is Mia, a Portland, Ore., high school cello prodigy who, 12 minutes into the movie, is in a car crash. Her spirit awakens in the crimson snow to see her broken body hauled off in an ambulance. As the able doctors operate on her, somebody says, “If she wants to live, she’d better start fighting.” That’s what the movie is about, Mia’s spirit, dashing barefoot through the halls of the hospital, checking on the rest of her injured family and re-living, through flashbacks, the life she might be leaving behind. We travel back to her meeting Adam (Jamie Blackley), the hunky upperclassman alt rocker who is drawn to her good looks and her utter immersion in her instrument. Worlds collide as the Beethoven-loving cellist
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller reunite for another installment in the black-and-white pulp fiction of Miller’s graphic novel. Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Joseph GordonLevitt, Josh Brolin, and Eva Green star. Rated R; opening Friday at AMC ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Illinois 8 in Marion.

struggles to fit in with the Portland’s two-guitar barband scene. In other episodes, we fall in with her still-hip parents. Dad (Joshua Leonard) used to be a punk drummer, and mom (Mireille Enos) was a groupie/riot grrrl. Then they had their second child (Jakob Davies) and gave that up for straight jobs. “Sometimes you make choices in life,” is Mom’s wise counsel, “and sometimes choices make you.” Adam is Mia’s first kiss, gives her that first shot of whiskey and is her “first” in that other all-important way. But she could get into Juilliard and that first love could be the one who got away. Or she could never come out of this coma she’s in, the one we see her in every time we return to the hospital, where Adam is almost the only one NOT allowed to see Mia. Director R.J. Cutler, a veteran TV producer/director (“Nashville”), keeps the camera in tight on
Moretz, and the romance of this sinks or swims on her performance. Her cello playing is impressive (occasionally sped up to reach the proper tempo), her girl-in-love moments awkward, in a kind of studious way. Sometimes her body language doesn’t match the tone of her voice or the pitch of the scene. Even an actress as skilled as Moretz (“Let Me In,” “Carrie”) seems lost in the boyfriend/girlfriend walking and hugging moments. Where DOES one put one’s other arm? But even that can be explained away as “natural” for a kid only used to hugging a cello. And whatever disconnects the movie throws at us, the over-familiar cliches of screen romance — pop music courtship montages — it eventually gets down to business, Mia’s choice. Does she stay or does she let go? Take away the teen drinking, profanity and (off camera) sex and “If I Stay” is almost a faith-based

film. Apparently, the only people who die more or less go by choice, in author Forman’s fiction. However, wonderful supporting players give the movieitsthird act heart. Stacy Keach, playing the grandfather, has a couple of great scenes with Mia. Aisha Hinds is a compassionate nurse who whispers in the comatose teen’s ear. And Enos, of TV’s “The Killing,” is that wise, sweet and hip mom who seems to exist only in the movies. Enos makes the most of several mother-daughter moments, and plays the “Date the musician, because we GET him” parental meddling scenes to the hilt. In the end, what matters with any weeper is, “Does it earn tears?” Manipulated we may be, yanked through contrived melodrama that piles grief upon grief. But “If I Stay” will make you wish you’d brought a hanky. You know, for your date. Not that you’d ever fall for this.

odney Atkins isn’t trying to fool anybody. He knows for an absolute fact he doesn’t have the best voice in country music. He is nowhere close to MUSIC the top.

Like Rembrandt in a baseball cap, he uses a pen instead of a brush to paint vivid images of the blue collar lifestyle. He has connected with fans with a string of hits
that has included “Watching You,” “Cleaning This Gun, “It’s America” and “Take A Back Road.” Atkins will be in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday Aug. 29, at the Du Quoin State Fair, part of a main grandstand package that kicks off Saturday, Aug. 23 with stadium rock superstar Foreigner, followed by legendary Kenny Rogers on Sunday, Aug. 24, Travis Tritt on Monday, Aug. 25, contemporary Christian music’s Jon Henninger Band on Tuesday, Aug. 26, southern rock icon 38 Special on Thursday, Aug. 28 and dance groove specialist KC And The Sunshine Band on Saturday, Aug. 30. “My job is to be a

distraction and let people forget about their problems for awhile. I don’t sing about the same thing all the time. I try to look at the bigger picture and give my fans songs about real life they can relate to,” Atkins said last week as his tour bus raced from one charity event to another. “I think I connect with listeners because I’m just being me. I guess they can hear the honesty in my voice.” Atkins is currently putting tunes together for his fifth album for Curb Records. It is a slow process that requires constant attention, a difficult chore considering he spends nearly 200 days a year on the road. He has learned to under promise and over deliver to music executives. “Most artist like to put out a new album every year or year and a half. Not me. I’m hard headed. The goal is to be around for a long time. I’m not going to move forward with a

project until I’ve found the best possible songs. I’m lucky to be workings for a label that has been patient with me. Right from the start, the head of A & R at Curb encouraged me to find my own voice and
find my own niche.” He found his niche by not caving in to the cookie-cutter “flavor of the month” being recorded by most act acts. He successfully developed his own unique sound.

make sure you get along.” Gimbel said he’d been a Foreigner fan long before meeting the band and described it as a perfect fit. He filled in for an absent band member in 1993 before joining them full time in 1995. Gimbel and the others, especially Jones, have connected not only musically but also in their other interests, including sports. At the core of it, though, is a passion for music and the desire to create melodies and lyrics that meld together
to entertain, inspire and touch people on a personal level. “We all feel like we have this common bond. It’s like all being in love with the same girl,” he said. “We’re all just hooked on this music with so much emotion and spirit in it.” Gimbel laughed at the label of “classic rock” Foreigner enjoys, adding he preferred to think of it as traditional rock. The band still produces highenergy, audience-involved shows for audiences across the country. “You can call it whatever you want; it’s just
good music,” he said. Fans in Southern Illinois will have a chance to hear it for themselves when Foreigner takes the grandstage stage at the Du Quoin State Fair at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets for the show are $25 to $30. The Illinois Lottery purchased nearly 900 tickets for the concert, offering them at no charge to veterans and first responders. Gimbel called the move “awesome” and said the band loves being part of special opportunities like that. “That’s an honor for
us,” he said. “Anytime we can be part of helping anyone like that, we’re just delighted. We’re big supporters of all the police, firefighters and everyone else.” Fans can expect to hear all the classic Foreigner hits during the performance, including a special rendition of “I Want to Know What Love Is,” featuring a choir of Du Quoin students. “We’re going to play all the hit songs people know and love,” Gimbel said. “Foreigner has so many Top 20 songs, it just kind of fills up the set.”

Nashville songwriters Kendell Marvel and Lance Miller will highlight a beer tent entertainment package at the 2014 Du Quoin State Fair that is loaded with appearances by local acts. The duo will perform an acoustic set at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Hot new act Murphy 500 will serve as the opening act at 5 p.m. and We Got It Covered, led by Keenan Rice of Du Quoin, will close out the night starting at 9:15 p.m. We Got It Covered will make three appearances throughout the fair, which kicks off Friday and runs through Sept. 1. Fertile Soil, Beaucoup Bottom Boys, Jamie Nattier, 4Play and South of 70 will all make multiple appearances in the beer tent. Marvel is a Thompsonville native. He had a popular area band for several years, before migrating to Nashville and becoming a top shelve songwriter. He penned “Right Where I Need To Be” for Gary Allan in 2000. It was the song most played by country radio that year. He helped launch the career of Jake Owen by inking “Yee Haw,” “Startin’ With Me” and “Don’t
Think I Can’t Love You.” Miller is from Fairfield. He gained national attention by placing fourth on the Nashville Star national talent contest, which led to business deals with The Warren Brothers and Tim McGraw.
