Raging Rivers opens for 28th season For The Edge

R

aging Rivers WaterPark is splashing into their 28th summer.

Located along the Great River Road in Grafton, Ill., the 28-acre waterpark continues to provide families from all across the region with unbeatable prices, endless excitement and cool waters during the hot summer days.

The waterpark provides guests with entertainment enjoyable for individuals of all ages with their six distinctly different slides (Cascade Body Flumes, Runaway Rafts, Shark Slide Flume and Swirlpools), two areas specifically dedicated to little ones (Itty Bitty Surf City and Tree House Harbor), an endless river, massive wavepool, rentable cabanas, party areas and more.

“Creating an environment to make summer memories is what we specialize in and we are eager to welcome families and friends for the best season of the year,” states Donna Morgan, general manager of Raging Rivers WaterPark. “With something for everyone to enjoy, whether it’s getting thrills from one of our many slides or relaxing in one of our cabanas, the park is a great place for those looking for a weekend getaway or an afternoon visit.”

While lounge chairs can be found throughout the park, visitors can take advantage of premium lounge areas known as ‘Paradise Cabanas’, ‘Riverview Cabanas’ and the newly added ‘Creek Side Cabanas’. The Paradise and Riverview Cabanas are located on the hillside overlooking the wavepool with the ability to hold up to 10 people per cabana, while two new Creek Side Cabanas are located on the lower level. One

of these is a little larger, holding up to 15 people and can be rented separately or with the adjacent smaller one to accommodate even larger groups. Cabanas are available for all-day rental with a nominal fee and serve as private, fully covered retreats for guests looking to relax and unwind complete with a discount in the gift shop, an included locker, a

souvenir collapsible cooler with water and a special menu during your visit.

Raging Rivers opened daily June 3rd, from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be open until 7 p.m. starting Saturday, July 1st.

On August 1st through August 21st, Raging Rivers will return to its 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule.

The park reopens for one last

splash of summer on Saturday, August 26th and Sunday, August 27th as well as on Labor Day weekend, September 2nd through September 3rd from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission is $20.95 for guests under 48 inches tall and senior citizens ages 60 and older, $24.95 for guests over 48 inches tall and free for children under the

age of two. Guests can enjoy an afternoon deal when they arrive after 3 p.m. by saving $5 on the price of each ticket. Additional details about individual season passes, cabana rentals, company partnership discounts, group and party packages, operating hours and additional deals throughout the summer can be found by visiting www.ragingrivers.com or calling the waterpark at (618) 786-2345.

Raging Rivers first opened its gates in the summer of 1990 and made its mark as the first water park in the Greater St. Louis area. It has since evolved into a 28-acre, multi-million dollar attraction has catered to millions of visitors over the years. Raging Rivers WaterPark is located at 100 Palisades Parkway off the Great River Road in Grafton, Ill.; for more information call (618) 786-2345, or visit www. ragingriver.com.

The United States Air Force's Thunderbirds will perform at Scott Air Force Base's 100th anniversary in June, 2017.

Scott Air Force Base to mark 100 years For The Edge

S

cott Air Force Base will celebrate its centennial anniversary in June of 2017. To commemorate this historic milestone, the base will host an open house and airshow featuring the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds, set for June 10-11, 2017.

The land today known as Scott AFB was initially leased in June of 1917, and

by September of that year, it was officially established as Scott Field. Scott AFB is the fourth oldest continuously active base in the U.S. Air Force, and the only Air Force base named in honor of an enlisted member, Corporal Frank S. Scott.

Scott Field originally served as a pilot training field during World War I and hosted a modified Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” aircraft used as an air ambulance. By 1921, the mission at the field changed and Scott became a lighter-than-air station hosting balloons and dirigibles.

By 1937, the lighter-than-air era ended for the entire Army Air Corps and the War Department intended to move the General Headquarters Air Force from Langley Field, Virginia to Scott Field. America’s entry into World War II would change that plan.

The Army Chief of Staff changed Scott’s primary mission in 1939 making it a

4

communications training location. Even after the birth of the U.S. Air Force in 1947, Scott AFB would continue as a communications training installation graduating over 150,000 communications operators and maintenance personnel by 1959.

By 1964, Scott became responsible for all aeromedical transportation within the U.S, and by 1975, the base was responsible for worldwide patient movement.

Throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, the Scott AFB’s mission continued to evolve and change with the addition of new aircraft and units. Scott’s present flying mission showcases the integration of the Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard components of the U.S. Air Force.

The 375th Air Mobility Wing (Active Duty) and the 932d Airlift Wing (Reserve) fly operational support airlift for priority passengers in the C-21 and C-40 aircraft respectively, while the 126th Air Refueling Wing (IL Air National Guard) conducts worldwide KC-135 air refueling missions.

Scott AFB is also host to U.S. Transportation Command, Air Mobility Command, 18th Air Force, 618th Air Operations Center, Air Force Network Integration Center, Defense Information Systems Agency, the Army’s Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, 635th Supply Chain Operations Wing, and a number of other mission partners.

Locals will recognize some of the iconic places they still visit today such as Ted Drewes, Crown Candy Kitchen, Carl's Drive In and The Chase Hotel.

They will also rediscover places that are gone with the passage of time such as the Coral Court Motel, the Parkmoor, the Chain of Rocks Amusement Park and the 66 ParkIn Theatre. Artifacts include neon signs like the original sign from the La Casa Grande Motel on Watson, and classic cars including a 1963 Corvette Stingray convertible and a 1957 Airstream Travel Trailer.

Route 66 opened on Nov. 11, 1926, as the major highway connecting Chicago and Los Angeles. Route 66 bore the hardships of the Great Depression, taking migrants west to find a new life. It carried military transports through World War II. At its height in the 1950s and '60s, tourists traveled its length to see the sights of the Southwest and California. Route 66 bore witness to the rise of the car culture.

66: Main Street Through St. Louis, a 6,000-square-foot exhibition that explores the local history of the world-famous highway. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis is open through July 16, 2017.

Route 66 touched eight states and connected more than 100 cities from Chicago to Los Angeles. St. Louis was the largest city in between. As the road meandered through the city, it passed by a number of stops that were unique to St. Louis – from popular restaurants to scandalous motes. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis tells St. Louis' distinctive story on the Mother Road.

Visitors will get their kicks learning about the motels, custard stands and tourist traps that could be found along the road as it passed through St. Louis. Route 66 through St. Louis wound its way from the bridges through downtown streets and depending on the year, provided travelers with several options for navigating through the city to the county and west.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Risk"

With all the weighty and momentous issues raised in "Risk," Laura Poitras' fascinating, thorny, and remarkably timely documentary on Julian Assange, one of the more subtly illuminating scenes is about something as inconsequential as a haircut.

The WikiLeaks founder is getting his locks trimmed, and the rapt, loving attention being paid to this process by co-workers in the room — who, like a team of Hollywood stylists, take turns with the scissors and offer suggestions — makes it look like he's about to go accept a lifetime achievement Oscar. Poitras may have included this scene as a rare light moment — a counterpoint to everything else — but it also gives us a sense of the man and his relationship with those who work for him.

It also shows, as do so many scenes here, the seemingly limitless access Poitras had to her subject, whom she began filming about six years ago. Just as in another recent, also excellent documentary, "Weiner," a moment comes where you just think, "Whoa, how was she allowed to do this?" Indeed, Poitras says the same thing. "Sometimes I can't believe what Julian allows me to film," she says in voiceover. "It's a mystery to me why he trusts me, because I don't think he likes me."

Whether he likes her or not, and whatever the changing nature of their relationship — there's been talk of a falling out, but it's murky — the leeway Assange gave Poitras is what elevates this film to must-see viewing. Yes, Poitras, an Oscar winner for "Citizenfour" about Edward Snowden, seems less aggressive at times than she could be in investigating what makes Assange tick. Lady Gaga, in a bizarre cameo, is freer with her questions. But it's hard to quibble with the result.

RATED: unrated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Dinner"

It's fitting that the first images you see in the riveting family drama "The Dinner" are of food. Fancy food. The kind of artful, designed fare that few mortals could possibly recreate and that bound books, television shows, documentaries and movies fetishize and worship. But this is not food porn. There's something sinister about these images — the ominous music and the camera movements make these painstakingly designed and exorbitantly expensive dishes seem like all that is evil in the modern world. It's a sense that sticks with you throughout writerdirector Oren Moverman's grandly ambitious, if not wholly successful film.

Based on the Dutch novel by Herman Koch, the set-up is small but instantly intriguing. Two married couples are gathering for dinner to discuss something sensitive, something to do with their teenage sons — creating the atmosphere of genuinely suspenseful whodunit. One is a charismatic congressman who's running for governor, Stan Lohman (Richard Gere) and his primly coiffed (and quite young) wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall). The other is Stan's perpetually aggrieved brother, Paul (Steve Coogan) and his tolerant wife, Claire (Laura Linney).

Paul, a former public school teacher who is obsessed with the Civil War, doesn't want to go to the dinner. He hates the dripping decadence and pretention of the restaurant and does not seem interested in pretending to be anything but disdainful of the operation, even as the eager hosts and perfectly pleasant maître d' (Michael Chernus) proudly explain what's on each dish and why it's so special.

As each course comes out, a new layer is exposed in the complex tapestry of the lives of the two Lohman families — Stan's first wife Barbara (Chloe Sevigny), various health issues, of the mental and physical variety, and the deep-seated damage and corrosiveness of long-unchecked privilege.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "disturbing violent content, and language throughout."

RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword"

Deep into Guy Ritchie's "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," a bad guy who we've never met before informs Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and his mates that they'd better be at the castle before dark if they want to see "the boy" and "the girl" again. It's one of those harmless, up the stakes clichés that's all too common in action movies, but, in the flawed yet amusing "King Arthur," it unwittingly left me baffled. "Which girl?" I wondered, sincerely doubting that this was the intended effect.

At this point there are two options: The Mage (Astrid Berges-Frisbey), a strange animal-controlling sorceress who we recently saw with a knife at her throat, or Maggie (Annabelle Wallis) who over the course of the movie is so underdeveloped that at different points I'd thought she was Arthur's presumed to be dead mother (who is in fact played by the just similar enough-looking Poppy Delevingne) or the evil King Vortigern's (Jude Law) wife. (She's neither.) It's a strange thing for a movie that is this packed to the brim with dialogue and clever exposition to have managed to so insufficiently explain a supposed key player.

The film is somehow both overwritten and underwritten.

It's a stretch to even deem it a King Arthur movie (marketing calls it an "iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth," while a producer says it's "not your father's King Arthur.")

And yet, "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," is reasonably entertaining with its CGI-laden summer nonsense, stuffed with mystical beasts (including giant elephant-like creatures with wrecking ball tails), vulgar action and delicious scenery chewing from Law. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language.

RUNNING TIME: 126 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Alien: Covenant"

Ah, the siren song of John Denver. Who among us can resist it? Certainly, not the crew of the Covenant, a vessel powered by a golden sail cruising through space with 2,000 "colonists" in hyper sleep and years to go until they reach their destination.

But when a shock wave from a solar flare jostles the crew awake, they soon begin hearing a faint transmission of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" emanating from a curiously Earthlike planet. Such sonic waves would be expected if this was "Guardians of the Galaxy," but this is the "Alien" universe — no place for sunny '70s singer-songwriters. When the antsy crew deviates from their carefully planned mission to seek the transmission's source, we know it's only a matter of time until cosmic crustaceans begin bursting forth from bodies. Take me home? You betcha.

"Alien: Covenant" is, itself, a homecoming of sorts for a welltraveled franchise. Since Ridley Scott's 1979 original — still the ultimate deep-space horror — "Alien" has passed through numerous directors (James Cameron, David Fincher, JeanPierre Jeunet) and a prequel reboot, Scott's "Prometheus." That film, more bloodless and brainy, sought to answer questions of origin with some pretty audacious backstory and — there's just no easy way to say this — eyebrow-less colossuses who created the universe.

In Scott's "Alien: Covenant," taking place ten years after "Prometheus," the so-called Engineers are, thankfully, nowhere to be seen. Back instead are everyone's favorite extraterrestrials, those acid-dripping drama queens so fond of making a big entrance.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "scifi violence, bloody images, language and some sexuality/nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 123 minutes.

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

"Wakefield"

Have you ever fantasized about one day walking away from your well-ordered life? Just ditching work and the humdrum routine of life? You have? Then, before you go, you need to see the curiously brilliant film "Wakefield."

Bryan Cranston stars as Howard Wakefield, a successful, upper class suburbanite with a wife and kids who, on an otherwise ordinary day, doesn't come home from work. He effectively drops out of life.

No, "Wakefield " isn't a story about running away. Our hero actually chooses to stay very close to his family — he hides in his home's unheated garage attic and scrounges for food in Dumpsters. He spends the next several months quietly spying on the life he has removed himself from.

"I ask you: What is so sacrosanct about a marriage and a family that you should have to live in it day after day, however unrealized that life may be?" he asks. "Who hasn't had the impulse to just put that life on hold for a moment?"

"Wakefield" is directed by Robin Swicord from her adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's short story. Her film is a moody meditation on modern living and surveillance, true to the original 10,000-word tale but also beautifully cinematic.

It taps into a deep vein of American angst at social conformity, explored before by everyone from Henry David Thoreau to "American Beauty." It arrives at a time when there's a surge in interest in a more natural life far from the crowds — so-called "cabin porn." But the suburban cabin Wakefield finds himself leads to a brutal, unromantic life.

Forever peering down into the main house's windows, Wakefield must endure freezing New York winters and its blistering summer days. His hair and beard become unkempt. He grows self-reliant — embracing the anti-consumerism of "Fight Club" or "Into the Wild" — and becomes, basically, a hermit.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "for some sexual material and language."

RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three star out of four.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales"

Review: Fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' flick fights bloat The opening scene of the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a fitting metaphor for where we stand in this long franchise: A creaky old galleon is unceremoniously yanked up from the ocean depths and the only things aboard are cranky old ghosts.

A weary, battered fifth chapter — "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" — lumbers into theaters this summer high on GCI tricks but with a hopelessly muddled plot and recurring characters basically running on fumes.

Johnny Depp is back as Jack Sparrow, as is Geoffrey Rush as a well-bearded Barbossa, looking a lot like the Cowardly Lion, and his faithful capuchin monkey. Newcomers include Golshifteh Farahani as a pretty cool, punky witch, and Kaya Scodelario and Brenton Thwaites, who play young star-crossed lovers with serious daddy issues, adding vitality and maybe future franchise possibilities.

The bad guy this time is Javier Bardem as a ghost ship captain and he proves to be an extraordinary actor because he comes across as a very believable ghost ship captain. His full-throttled, single-minded fury recalls Ricardo Montalban in "The Wrath of Khan."

The film also features the returns of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley — but in tiny cameos only — as the lovers Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. They missed the fourth installment because they were smart.

Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some suggestive content and adventure violence."

RUNNING TIIME: 128 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.

Cranston shines in "Wakefield"

By MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Have you ever fantasized about one day walking away from your well-ordered life?

Just ditching work and the humdrum routine of life? You have? Then, before you go, you need to see the curiously brilliant film "Wakefield."

Bryan Cranston stars as Howard Wakefield, a successful, upper class suburbanite with a wife and kids who, on an otherwise ordinary day, doesn't come home from work. He effectively drops out of life.

No, "Wakefield " isn't a story about running away. Our hero actually chooses to stay very close to his family — he hides in his home's unheated garage attic and scrounges for food

in Dumpsters. He spends the next several months quietly spying on the life he has removed himself from.

"I ask you: What is so sacrosanct about a marriage and a family that you should have to live in it day after day, however unrealized that life may be?" he asks. "Who hasn't had the impulse to just put that life on hold for a moment?"

"Wakefield" is directed by Robin Swicord from her adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's short story.

Her film is a moody meditation on modern living and surveillance, true to the original 10,000-word tale but also beautifully cinematic.

It taps into a deep vein of American angst at social conformity, explored before by everyone from Henry David Thoreau to "American Beauty." It arrives at a time when there's a

surge in interest in a more natural life far from the crowds — so-called "cabin porn." But the suburban cabin Wakefield finds himself leads to a brutal, unromantic life.

Forever peering down into the main house's windows, Wakefield must endure freezing New York winters and its blistering summer days. His hair and beard become unkempt.

He grows self-reliant — embracing the anticonsumerism of "Fight Club" or "Into the Wild" — and becomes, basically, a hermit.

"I no longer seem to require those things that only days ago were so indispensable," he says. "Unshackled, I'll become the Howard Wakefield I was meant to be."

Cranston is simply remarkable in the role, a tricky one since his character has precious little dialogue with anyone else. Yet the actor

shows everything here — arrogance, sorrow, anger, love, fear. It may bring to mind another superb performance from a man who found himself in exile — Tom Hanks in "Cast Away."

Wakefield's wife is played with delicate sadness by a terrific Jennifer Garner, who somehow is able to convey ranges of emotion mutely from behind a glass window. Aaron Zigman's score has colors that are both playful and haunting.

How Wakefield begins this new life is frighteningly accidental. After a fight with his wife, his train has mechanical trouble one night and he comes home very late to find a raccoon sniffing around. He chases the beast into the garage attic and decides to stay the night, unwilling to reawaken the spat with his wife.

"Everything, Everything" a nice little picture

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge I’m an ardent fan of many film genres, but the one I like best is the hardest to pinpoint. It’s romance.

It’s young adult drama. It’s light comedy. Julia Roberts. John Green’s stories. Most anything with Chloe Moretz. I used to say it was “Katherine Heigl” movies, but not when looking at her post“27 Dresses” oeuvre. Often, I think maybe I have the same taste in movies that do teenage girls. Such was definitely the case when I saw “Everything, Everything” Sunday night. It was a handful of elderly African-American women and me in that show with about ninety 14 yearold girls and the boys they convinced to join them. This is a treat, this little movie, and it worries me that its praises are being under-sung.

Maddy Whittier (Amandla Stenberg, little Rue from “The Hunger Games”, but now all grown up) is a prisoner in her own home.

She’s sick with some kind of ‘bubble boy’ syndrome that will kill her if she dares step out of the elaborate clean house that her doctor-mother (Anika Noni Rose) has designed to help her survive. This is no fundamentalist survival film and Maddy is hardly pitiful. She’s got the same great access to learning and exploration that all of us in the Internet Age do. Her classroom overlooks a lush greenhouse that’s attached to the side of her abode to give a fairly good impression of what ‘outside’ looks like. Maddy’s verbose and reads a lot. She has good friends in her nurse, Carla (Ana de la Reguera), and Carla’s daughter, Rosa (Danube R. Hermosillo). Her tidy, confining existence has done nothing to quell

her desire for life. She’s vibrant and happy, even if her viewpoint is somewhat narrowed by the confines of her irradiated, germ-free manse.

What trips up Maddy’s world is the same thing that gets most of us: first love. Just after her eighteenth birthday party (playing ‘phonetic Scrabble’ and watching “Moonstruck” with Mom), Maddy gets a shakeup when a new boy moves in next door. His name is Olly. He wears black, rides a skateboard, and desperately needs a haircut, but there’s that magic moment when their eyes catch and she knows that he knows that neither of them will ever be the same. Olly is played by Nick Robinson whose most noteworthy role to date was as one of the idiot kids that wander off in “Jurassic World” before the theme park “breaks down”. The two, though they can’t meet,

become fast friends because of the telecommunications advances in 2017. Think of them as Juliet and Romeo, but with a healthy reliance on text messaging and Bluetooth connectivity.

Once they convince Carla that a short, in-person visit is a good idea, their whirlwind of emotional investment explodes.

Doctor Mom is having none of it. She’s like a well-meaning Lady Capulet, but with a better angryface. Carla is dismissed; Maddy goes on house arrest. Olly becomes… not quite Enemy #1…maybe just a dangerous young man sniffing around her only child. It’s not terribly swaying, this distrust. Maddy’s mom lost her husband and son in an accident when Maddy was just a baby. And Olly has his own troubles at home with a wife-beating dad and mousy, victim-blaming mom. Having a relationship for these two leads

might be the best thing going in either of their lives and no one can blame them for wanting that. So they sneak off and it’s wonderful. Until it’s not.

I loved the clever use of technology and camerawork in the movie. The costumes are fashionable and flashy without being too pronounced. The soundtrack really cooks. Olly’s offbeat choice in music echoes exactly the feelings in Maddy that exploring the world with him, anew, unleashes.

That their relationship is interracial is smartly never recognized. If anything, "Everything, Everything" suffers from a rather forced and enigmatic ending, but this was a nice little picture. It’s based on a novel by Nicola Yoon.

“Everything, Everything” runs 96 minutes and is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and brief sensuality. I give this film three stars out of four.

A primer on miracles, martyrs and virtues

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Lengthy historic investigations. Decrees of "heroic virtues."

Miraculous cures.

The Vatican's complicated saint-making process has long fascinated Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and was on display Saturday when Pope Francis canonized two children whose "visions" of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago turned the sleepy farming town of Fatima into a major Catholic pilgrimage site.

Francis recently reformed the process to address financial abuses that had long t a r n i s h e d t h e Va t i c a n ' s s a i n t - m a k i n g machine, but the basic criteria remain.

A postulator - essentially the cheerleader spearheading the project - gathers testimony and documentation and presents the case to

the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints. If the congregation's experts agree the candidate lived a virtuous life, the case is forwarded to the pope, who signs a decree attesting to the candidate's "heroic virtues."

If the postulator finds someone was miraculously healed by praying for the candidate's intercession, and if the cure can't be medically explained, the case is presented to the congregation as the possible miracle needed for beatification. Panels of doctors, theologians, bishops and cardinals must certify that the cure was instantaneous, complete and lasting - and was due to the intercession of the saintly candidate. If convinced, the congregation sends the case to the pope, who signs a decree saying the candidate can be beatified.

A second miracle is needed to declare the candidate a saint.

Martyrs - people killed for their faith can be beatified without a miracle. A miracle is needed, however, for martyrs to be canonized.

Francisco and Jacinta Marto, who will be canonized Saturday, will become the Catholic Church's youngest-ever non-martyred saints.

They are the youngsters who, along with their cousin, reported the visions of the Madonna 100 years ago.

Portuguese Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martians pushed their case through the first phase of beatification when he was in charge of the Vatican's saint-making office. He says it was the first of its kind.

"Before we couldn't even talk about the

beatification of children in the history of the church because the principle prevailed that they didn't yet have the skills to exercise the heroic level of Christian virtues," Saraiva Martins said in an interview.

But the Marto siblings earned the designation by refusing - despite threats they would be fried in olive oil - to recant their visions. Aged 9 and 7 at the time, they held firm in their faith, and ultimately Portuguese church officials declared the apparitions authentic.

The miracle attributed to the Martos' intercession concerns the inexplicable healing of a Brazilian boy, Lucas Baptista, who in 2013 fell from a window and suffered such a serious brain injury that doctors said he likely wouldn't live.

For The Edge

Above, Copper and Kings in Butchertown. Below, a rendering of the Louisville City FC soccer stadium.

Butchertown a new draw in Louisville For The Edge As the name suggests, Butchertown has long been the meat-packing hub of Louisville with one remaining plant. The historic neighborhood is becoming known for much more than meat processing as restaurants, shops, bars and now a soccer stadium are planned for the revitalizing.

Released on April 12, Butchertown is the chosen site for a new 10,000-seat soccer stadium for the Louisville City FC semipro soccer team. The team has experienced two successful seasons at Louisville Slugger Field with an average of 7,000 attendees per game. The project proposes to redevelop 40 acres in the Butchertown neighborhood for the soccer stadium and a mixed-use development.

“This is an incredible opportunity to turn disinvested, industrial land immediately adjacent to downtown…into as much as $200 million of new investment,” explains Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, the chief of Louisville’s economic development sector, Louisville Forward.

Amidst the excitement of a new soccer stadium, a new restaurant was announced this past week and developers broke ground on a nearby hotel in Nulu.

Joining Butchertown Grocery and Lola in the neighborhood’s culinary scene will be Butchertown Pizza Hall. This pizza place is the new project of Chef Allan Rosenberg who made a name for himself in

Louisville’s pizza scene a few years ago when he opened Papalinos Pizza. This now-closed pizza spot quickly became a local favorite when it opened in the Highlands.

Butchertown Pizza Hall will move into the recently vacated Hall’s Cafeteria building.

On the edge of Butchertown just one street from the Butcher Block,

a new hotel is under construction on East Market Street. The AC Hotel Nulu will make it easy to stay nearby. This new property will feature 156 rooms, a parking

garage, and retail space on site. It is expected to open in Spring 2018.

The existing establishments in Butchertown are flourishing: Butchertown Market has expanded its shopping selection, now with a larger boutique section at Work the Metal and Bourbon Barrel Foods as well as a larger kitchen for Cellar Door Chocolates The row of shops on Main Street – dubbed the “Butcher Block” – is populated with unique, locally owned shops and restaurants (Pho Ba Luu, Hi-Five Donuts, Red Hot Roasters coffee, Stag + Doe home decor, Louabull souvenirs) Butchertown Grocery receives accolades and praise from across the country with Bobby Benjamin in the kitchen and recently opened Lola – a speakeasy with craft cocktails and live music Copper & Kings is a thriving attraction with their immersive American Brandy tours and local collaborative events Play Nightclub is one of the most popular LGBT destinations in the city for nightlife and various events To help plan a weekend in B u t c h e r t o w n a n d t h e re s t o f Louisville, the Louisville CVB provides several planning resources, including suggested itineraries at www.gotolouisville.com/play/ tours-itineraries/index.aspx, the monthly Lookin’ at Louisville YouTube series, a searchable list events at www.gotolouisville.com, a free Louisville Visitors Guide and complimentary hotel booking service via 1-888-LOUISVILLE.

76th annual celebration will, fittingly, take place in Milky Way Park

For The Edge Each year over the first weekend in June, more than 80,000 fun-seekers make their way to this community just south of the Wisconsin state line to revel in one of Illinois' longest-running hometown festivals - Harvard Milk Days. This year's 76th annual celebration pours into Harvard's streets and its Milky Way Park, June 2- 4, and promises gallons of fun for the whole family.

This one-of-a-kind event had its start during World War II, when this McHenry County town had seven dairies processing milk from hundreds of surrounding farms. Back then, Harvard billed itself the "Dairy Capital of the World," a title it took seriously. When local farmers revved up production to meet the increased demands of the war, the town built a music stage and held a street dance to thank them. Today's Harvard Milk Days festival has grown from that humble beginning.

Preliminary events get underway weeks in advance with

the crowning of the Milk Queen, and in the week just before Milk Days with the Prince and Princess Contest, Big Wheel and bed races, capped off by the Youth Parade on June 1 and golf outing, June 10.

Featured events in Milky Way Park include a milk drinking contest, demos on the care, feeding and milking of cattle, adult and junior cattle shows, and cow chip lotto. Additionally, there are carnival rides and a food court, petting zoo, exotic animal exhibit, chain saw carving, live bands, talent show, antique tractor show, auction, Knockerball, "Granpa Cratchet's" traveling puppet mobile and gala firework shows each evening.

Fun runs and walks leave from Jefferson School Saturday morning, and a two-hour parade Saturday afternoon struts down Ayer Street, which is whitewashed and dubbed "Milky Way." Admission to the Milk Day grounds is free, but some events require a fee and/or registration. For a full list of events, dates

and times, log on to www.milkdays.com or phone 815-9434614.

Harvard is located an easy driving distance from Chicago, Rockford and Milwaukee at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 12 and Illinois Route 173. From Chicago, you can hop aboard Metra for Milk Days events, too. The Harvard depot is within walking distance of all festival activities. Complete Metra schedules can be found at www.metrarail.com.

GET AWAY TO McHENRY COUNTY McHenry County is just a 60-minute drive northwest of Chicago, bordered on the north by Wisconsin, and on the south by I-90. The Fox River winds down from the Chain of Lakes through the towns on the eastern side of the county, while country roads meander the western side. For visitor information, including lodging and dining options throughout McHenry County, log on to www.visitmchenrycounty.com, e-mail info@visitmchenrycounty.com, or phone 815-893-6280.

Quad Cities to host Museum Week For The Edge

T

By finding some or all of the Quad Cities Museum caches, you will learn about the many great

museums in the community. There will be a total of 12 museums are participating in the Geocache.

All the geocaches are outside the museums. To get started on your treasure hunt during Quad Cities Museum Week, go to www.geocaching.com and see if you can collect a wooden nickel from all of the participating museums geocaches. Participating Geocache museums include the Buffalo Bill Cody Homestead, Buffalo Bill Museum, Butterworth Center, Dan Nagle Walnut Grove Pioneer Village, Deere-Wiman House, Family Museum, Figge Art Museum, German American Heritage Center, Iowa 80 Trucking Museum, Putnam Museum, and Rock Island County Historical

For The Edge A couple of Summer Concert Series alums will be joining forces to kickoff the 8th Annual Hillsboro Summer Concert Series on Saturday, June 3 in the Sherwood Forest Campgrounds located at 920 City Lake Road in Hillsboro, IL. Hounds, formerly known as Clockwork, will be playing their music that gained them rave reviews at their Summer Concert Series performance two years ago and they will also be playing along side Urge front man Steve Ewing for the first time right here in Hillsboro.

Hounds is an Indie Rock trio who create crunchy, melodic, harmony-soaked songs that give a nod to the past while forging a new sound for the future. The St. Louisbased group has perfected their brand of acoustically-infused rock, slathered in memorable melodies and striking harmonies. Formed in 2011, Hounds has perfected their live show through consistent touring throughout the Midwest, performing at countless theaters and nightclubs. Additionally, large scale festivals such as SXSW, LouFest, Fair St. Louis, and Red Gorilla, among many others, have exposed Hounds to an ever-growing audience of supporters. Hounds has been featured in Alternative Press magazine, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and countless other publications and television outlets.

They have been fortunate to have shared the stage with Chuck Berry,

June 1, 2017

reggae, hip hop, ska, and sent a sonic shockwave from the Midwest that can still be felt to this day. After 4 independent label releases they were picked up by the Immortal/ Epic label, home to such artists as Korn and Incubus, and released 3 albums of their own. Alternative radio stations everywhere were s p i n n i n g “ A l l Wa s h e d U p ” ,

“Brainless”, “It’s Gettin’ Hectic”, “Straight to Hell”, “Four Letters and Two Words”, “Too Much Stereo”, and the top ten “Jump Right In” featuring Nick Hexum of 311 fame. Many St. Louis natives fondly remember The Urge from their intense, face-melting shows at venues such as Mississippi Nights and local festivals like PointFest.

The Urge spent much of their time touring alongside aforementioned artists Korn, Incubus and 311.

F o r m e d f ro m t h e c re a m o f Atlanta’s studio musicians, the Atlanta Rhythm Section (actually hailing from nearby Doraville, Georgia) came together in 1970 after working on a Roy Orbison recording session. In 1977, “So In To You” became the band’s breakthrough single, reaching the U.S. Top 10, and the album from which it came, A Rock And Roll Alternative, went gold.

Their platinum follow-up album, Champagne Jam, broke into the Top 10 in 1978, together with the blockbuster single “Imaginary Lover” (“I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight” was another major hit from the same album).

From their beginnings in midSixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-

day unit featuring founding member/pedal-steel innovator John David Call, veteran bassist Mike Reilly, propulsive drummer Scott Thompson and guitar ace Donnie Clark, Pure Prairie League continues to embellish the rich 43-year history of one of CountryRock’s pioneering forces.
