Patty Cakes

Highland cake decorator to appear on TLC program

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

September 10, 2009

Pastry chef Pat Jacoby was on her way, driving to a cake show in Virginia when her cell phone rang. A representative from The Learning Channel (TLC) was on the other end requesting that Jacoby take part in a new show called “Ultimate Cake Off.” After some thought, Jacoby accepted the challenge and was off to compete in the confectionary competition.

She is the owner of Patty Cakes, which has been in business for 30 years and at the 1018 Laurel Street location in Highland for 28 years.

In the episode, Jacoby faces off against two other contestants in a challenge to create an edible masterpiece in hopes of winning $10,000 and to have her cakes featured in a marquee event.

With only nine hours, the competitors must make cakes that are at least five feet tall and are creative enough to win the taste of the client and the the ultimate prize.

This episode the cake is in competition to be featured at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library’s Fourth of July Celebration.

The episode is scheduled to air on TLC (check local listings for the channel in your area), on Monday, Sept. 14, at 9 p.m. (Central Time).

The series is hosted by chef Michael Schulson, owner of Atlantic City’s Izakaya. Joining him are judges Margaret Braun, an acclaimed sugar artist based in New York, and Leigh Grode, owner of Los

Angeles’ Cake Divas bakery.

This is a new series that was maybe inspired by some of the shows on the Food Network like “Ace of Cakes,” which is actually a fierce competition in which the contestants are some of the nations most talented pastry chefs.

Although Jacoby cannot reveal the contents of the episode, especially the outcome, she can say what a great time she had participating. “It was amazing! I previously had participated in a similar competition for the Food Network, and this was even more exciting than that.” said Jacoby. “I was the “helper” on the previous show, where this time I am the lead chef for my competition group.”

Patty Cakes is not your typical bakery. They specialize in “designer” style cakes, where everything is special ordered. “You are not going to find your ready made sheet cake at our shop.

We make approximately 10 customer designed wedding cakes per week and many all occasion cakes, all that are pre-ordered and designed especially for the occasion it is intended for,” said Jacoby.

Recently, Jacoby’s daughter, Leah Jacoby, graduated from culinary school and joined her mom in the cake business.

Patty Cakes is located at 1018 Laurel Street, in Highland, and can be reached at 654-8180.

Johnson’s Hearing Center

The Johnson’s Hearing Center tradition began more than 35 years ago when Ralph E. Johnson became a hearing instrument specialist so he could help others overcome the limitations of hearing loss. Since Mr. Johnson had already lost much of his own ability to hear, he truly understood the needs and frustrations associated with hearing loss. Until Mr. Johnson passed away in 2008, he and his wife, Erline, who is still the office manager, worked together providing better hearing to thousands of patients throughout the years. During that time the Johnson’s daughter, Barbara Well, joined the family business and has worked there as a boardcertified hearing instrument specialist for over 20 years. Barb’s daughters, Tiffany Well and Jennifer Volle, have also joined the business as licensed hearing specialists. Together, they uphold the tradition started by Mr. Johnson and continue to provide their patients with outstanding, personalized care.

The specialists at Johnson’s utilize the most advanced testing equipment in the industry.

All patients are given an exam with a video otoscope to check their ears for wax buildup and abnormalities, so patients will have a chance to see inside their own ears. There is also a machine that performs speech mapping, which allows patients to “see what they hear” while enabling the specialists to fit patients more precisely than ever before.

Johnson’s always offers the latest digital technology to their patients. Recently, they introduced the be™ hearing instrument from ReSound, which features a new design called Remote Microphone Technology. This new design virtually disappears in the ear and is suitable for almost all hearing losses. Plus, it eliminates problems like wind noise while providing a natural sound quality.

Johnson’s also offers several other lines of hearing instruments to fit everyone’s hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget. Because they are committed to excellent service and satisfaction, they offer a Risk-Free Trail on hearing instruments. That means patients will receive a full refund of their down payment if they are not completely satisified.

To start your risk-free trial,

People People planner MOBOT hosting “Carver Day” Explore the life and legacy of famed Missouri-born scientist and educator Dr. George Washington Carver with “Carver Day” at the Missouri Botanical Garden, Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Carver was born into slavery in 1865 in Diamond Grove, Mo. and rose to become “the plant doctor,” an internationally-renowned scientist, teacher, humanitarian and advocate for productive, sustainable agriculture. He is credited with introducing crop rotation and plant diversity to the farm field and is well-known for the many uses of peanuts, sweet potatoes, soybeans and black-eyed peas that he developed. He is the inspiration behind the Missouri Botanical G a rd e n ’ s o n e - a n d - a - h a l f - a c re George Washington Carver Garden, dedicated in 2005 and the first of its kind at a botanical garden.

Begin your Carver Day journey with a stop at the Jesup Wagon in the upper level of the Ridgway Visitor Center. Carver designed the original Jesup Agricultural Wagon, a moveable school-on-wheels, to bring teaching directly into communities.

In the same fashion, the Garden’s J e s s u p Wa g o n w i l l b e f i l l e d information and an introduction to some of the plants that Carver studied.

Continue your learning with a walk outside to the George Washington Carver Garden, where a Germination Station staffed

by Garden educators will offer a deeper exploration of Carver ’s agricultural endeavors. Take a seat in the small outdoor amphitheater to listen to the story, “A Weed is a Flower: The Life of George Washington Carver,” read at 10 a. m., 11 a.m., noon and 1 p.m.

New this year, reserve your spot for a special Carver Garden stroll with Dr. George Washington Carver himself, as portrayed by Paxton Williams. Chat with “Carver” about his life, trials, tribulations, and his ultimate triumphs. See how native plants and flowers inspired a young George, and how they taught him valuable lessons about the human condition. Learn how art, nature, music and poetry influenced Carver ’s scientific endeavors, and enjoy the chance to explore your own creativity!

Paxton Williams is the director of outreach for the George Washington Carver Birthplace Association. He has portrayed Carver nearly 300 times across the U.S. and in England.

He will be joined by a Garden educator on each walk.

Advance reservations for the Carver walks are required by Oct. 14 and space is limited. Teachers, register for the educators’ Carver walk from 10 to 11:30 a.m. by emailing tracie.cain@mobot.org. A visitors’ Carver walk for the general public will be held from 12:30 to

Tired of NECK PAIN? Frustrated with your STIFF, ACHING BACK? Read the Astonishing HEALTH SECRETS That Thousands of Grateful Patients Swear By!

“I Was In Agony!”...True-Life Healing Stories!

PLUS...an INJURED DOCTOR Shares His Amazing Discovery For Fast Pain Relief...And Lets You “Test-Drive” It FREE...With An Unheard-Of TRIPLE SATISFACTION PLEDGE!!

How My EMBARRASSING ACCIDENT May Eliminate Your Pain FAST...Maybe Even Today!

The accident was embarrassing and totally my fault...but that didn’t stop the stabbing pain in my neck the next morning. I’ll tell you what I did in a minute, but first I want you to know that because of my macho antics a few years ago, I’ve been able to eliminate literally thousands of neck, back, shoulder and wrist problems, just like yours…not to mention headaches. So let me explain...

Hi. My name is Dr. Timothy A. Peck, D.C. I’m the Director of Glen Carbon HealthSource Chiropractic™, and I know what it’s like to be desperate, in pain and have no clue where to get help. When I hurt myself, I felt...

The Poor Man’s Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Why I Still Get Upset!

The next morning, I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow. It was agony! My wife still laughs at the story and about the “Arnold” I was trying to be. To cut to the chase, I went to medical doctors, took buckets of cover-up pills ’till my stomach ached and went to therapy.

Nothing worked, ‘til finally I went to a chiropractor who was able to relieve my agony. It was a miracle!

Not only that, the accident started my career as a chiropractor! Since then, I’ve learned one HUGE LESSON, and that is…

Because you’ll probably get better faster than I did.

But that’s great for you. Now it’s so much easier and faster to get rid of your stiffness, sharp pain and aching...and to get your flexibility back! Just look at the coupon and my TRIPLE SATISFACTION PLEDGE. There’s absolutely NO RISK and you can check us out FREE. There’s nothing to lose but your pain. We’re not promising a cure or claiming to be superior, we simply like to believe that our clinic is built on helping people feel better.

Call us NOW!

How to RELIEVE PAIN...Even FASTER!

TRIPLE SATISFACTION PLEDGE!

My clinical anecdotal research shows that since we started treating the spine and the muscles that move it...at the same time, our results have about doubled the healing speed.

Community Service Screening

“As Dumb as a Bag of Hammers!”

“A great way to find out about your pain...”

It happened years ago when I was lifting weights. My “spotter”, the guy who comes to your rescue if you can’t handle the weight, was sick and I was determined to try my biggest “bench-press”…but I couldn’t do it!!

I got stuck half-way...dumb!

I couldn’t get the weight off my chest.

And what’s really funny is even when I was lying there being crushed, the thought that went through my mind was just like my patients who’ve fallen or tripped: “I hope nobody sees me like this!” Yet somehow I managed to wiggle out from under the bar by lifting one side with both hands, but not without a lightning bolt of pain in my neck.

That’s what I get for being:

Whether or not you feel pain right now, let our team of doctors find out for sure with a 19-point, detailed service screening (a $189 value) that’ll identify even the smallest of problems. We’ll even throw in the X-rays if we feel you need them. Just bring in this coupon, and we’ll take care of the costs.

Music One-man riot to appear at The Pageant

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

W i t h o u t

a F a c e

“Without a Face” will be opening for “Building Rome’s” CD release show at The Pageant, 6161 Delmar Blvd., in the Loop, in University City, on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m.

Advance tickets are on sale now at The Pageant Box Office, Suite 100, or at all ticketmaster outlets.

Charge by phone at 800-745-3000. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 on the day of the show. There is a $2 surcharge for minors, show is for all ages.

“Without a Face” bio gives some explanation as to how they became a “hidden” band: “After realizing that having band members consistently not show up for gigs or not “show up” for gigs, singer and songwriter Henry Dillard decided that going it alone was not only easier, it was also the inspiration behind his “band’s” debut album.

The band, Without a Face, is now ready to show itself to the world with “Worst Debut Album Ever,” set for release on popular rock band Ludo’s Redbird Records on Oct. 6.

While that might sound like a negative statement to make for a debut, you have to get to know Dillard to understand what it all means.”

“The album title is my way of saying I don’t need validation or criticism from anyone else in the first place,” he says.

After going out on his own, Dillard found that he was able to play more shows and develop more of a following both at those shows and on the Internet.

After recording the tracks in 2008, Dillard decided he was going to release it on his own unless he could find a proper label.

Enter Ludo’s Tim Convy, who discovered the band and wanted to release the debut: “Worst Debut Album Ever” includes 11 songs (and 1 prank call), and is chock full of Dillard’s sarcastic and quirky spirit, calling to mind artists like They Might Be Giants, Violent Femmes, and The Dead Milkmen.

The fairly ridiculous “Lactose Intolerance” inherently pokes fun at heavy metal (and dairy products) while “Without a Myspace” implies that a certain social networking site might be a bit overrated. Both “The Band Broke Up (Intro)” and “The Band Broke Up (Part 2)” offer insight into why Henry is Without a Face’s sole member. “Anchorbabe Stalker” is about a local news anchorwoman from Henry’s hometown of Houston, Texas, and “Fratford Bratford ‘06” is about Henry’s high school days.

“Druggie Love” addresses the criteria that certain women look for in a man while “31” is a love song to an older woman from a boy who’s just “eight years too late.”

Everything on the album, which consists primarily of vocals and acoustic guitars, was performed by Henry with the exception of the dog barks which were performed by a dog.

Music Tuning in “Nutcracker” auditions planned Nearly 120 young St. Louisarea dancers will be cast in Dance St. L o u i s ’ “ N u t c r a c k e r a t t h e Fox” starring The Joffrey Ballet, during auditions starting at noon on Sunday, September 20, at the Touhill Performing Arts Center, University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Boys and girls ages 9 to 14, between 4 and 5 feet tall, who have at least one year of dance training, will play the roles of Christmas party guests, mice, soldiers, and angels when Dance St. Louis and AmerenUE present Nutcracker at the Fox in six performances December 3-6 at the Fox Theatre.

Children do not need to prere g i s t e r. F o r m o re d e t a i l s o n audition requirements, contact Dance St. Louis Director of Operations & Education, Janet Brown, at 314-289-4105 or check dancestlouis.org.

Children should arrive a half hour before their audition time.

Auditions are as follows: • Noon: 4 feet-5 inches to 5 feet tall, ages 11-14, with five or more years ballet training

• 2 p.m.: 4 feet-5 inches to 5 feet tall, ages 9-14, with one to four years ballet training • 4 p.m.: 4 feet to 4 feet-5 inches tall, ages 9-14, with one to four years ballet, modern or jazz dance training Dancers must be at least 9 years old by September 20, 2009.

If possible, children should bring a non-returnable photograph to the audition. A dance photograph is not necessary; an ordinary photograph such as a school picture is fine.

Rehearsals for Nutcracker at the Fox will be held every weekend except Thanksgiving beginning September 25 at Alexandra Ballet in Chesterfield and the Center of Creative Arts (COCA) in University City. The Joffrey Ballet’s Nutcracker has roles for 59 local children, and Dance St. Louis is seeking to double-cast the show to give even more young St. Louisarea dancers the opportunity to perform on the stage of the Fox Theatre with one of the world’s

greatest dance companies.

“Big Fan”

Jim Rome urges his listeners (or “clones,” as he so lovingly calls them) to have solid takes, to bring it, when they dial into his sports talk radio show. Patton Oswalt’s character in “Big Fan,” Paul Aufiero, ensures that his takes are solid because they are his raison d’etre. A portly Staten Island parking garage attendant stuck in his childhood home with his mother at age 35, Paul lives and dies for the New York Giants, and spends each day at work in his little metal box honing the arguments he’ll make about his beloved football team during his favorite sports talk radio show each night. Paul Aufiero feels completely believable in the hands of Robert Siegel, writer of the equally stripped-down and realistic “The Wrestler,” who wrote the script and makes his directing debut here. Siegel has captured a very specific fan: the kind who refers to his team as “we,” who derives confidence from walking around the neighborhood in his puffy red-and-blue jacket and prepares all week for a few hours on Sunday. You could describe him as pathetic in his arrested development, his lack of perspective.

But Oswalt, best known for his comedy and his starring voice work in the animated “Ratatouille,” brings enough depth to the character to make you feel sorry for him. This is especially true once Paul and his best friend Sal (Kevin Corrigan) have a run-in with the Giants’ star linebacker, Quantrell Bishop (Jonathan Hamm), on a night in Manhattan that quickly shifts from veneration to violence.

“The September Issue”

Anna Wintour ’s eyes are green, we learn from this documentary in which she actually takes off her trademark, oversized sunglasses and even lets a smile slip loose from time to time. But that doesn’t mean the notoriously icy editor in chief of Vogue magazine ever truly puts down her guard.

Director R.J. Cutler and his crew spent eight months roaming the halls of the Conde Nast publication and accompanying Wintour to meetings, fashion shows and glamorous events with designers and celebrities. We also see her at home with her daughter, Bee Shaffer. While that kind of intimate access

September 10, 2009

provides a glimpse at some juicy showdowns, it never really allows us to understand what inspires this enormously influential figure. Wintour is quickly decisive but seems to operate on the whim of her preferences in dictating what’s in style and what isn’t; if that process is maddening for us during a brief time, imagine what it must be like to work for her every day. (To her credit, though, she acknowledges her businesslike nature — and she doesn’t seem as withering as the fashion magazine editor in “The Devil Wears Prada,” a character supposedly modeled after her.) What we do come away with is an appreciation for clothing and photography as art forms and the kind of work and emotion that go into each issue, especially the September issue, the largest each year for its fall fashion features. Cutler follows the creation of the September 2007 Vogue, the title’s most voluminous edition ever — which makes the film seem like a time capsule now that magazines are struggling financially.

“Taking Woodstock”

They aren’t words you hear very often: an Ang Lee comedy.

He hasn’t really made one since he directed “The Wedding Banquet” and “Eat Drink Man Woman” back-to-back in 1993 and 1994. And so, on the heels of the emotionally heavy “Brokeback Mountain” and “Lust, Caution,” Lee lightens up — and the result is actually too lightweight. He approaches the fabled concert from an outsider’s angle, which is innovative; truly, the significance of Woodstock has been chronicled ad naueseam, especially lately upon its 40th anniversary. But in telling the story of the people who inadvertently launched the event, Lee leaves out the substance. Rather, he ambles amiably among these motley figures, with civic leader Elliot Teichberg (comic Demetri Martin) at the center. When Robert Altman used this structural tactic — and he did it often — it still felt cohesive, like an intricate but subtle dance. “Taking Woodstock,” by comparison, feels scattershot and incomplete.

The script from Lee’s longtime collaborator James Schamus, based on Elliot Tiber’s book, traces the pieces that fell into place to make Woodstock happen. Elliot, a New York City interior designer, happens to have moved back home with his Russian immigrant parents (Henry Goodman and an overthe-top Imelda Staunton) to help them salvage their run-down Catskills motel. An arts and music festival in a neighboring

town happens to have lost its permit. As president of the Bethel Chamber of Commerce, Elliot thinks it would boost the economy to play host instead — and he just happens to know a guy named Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy) with a 600-acre dairy farm, the perfect place for such an event.

“World’s Greatest Dad”

This is tricky: How to talk about the latest comedy from Bobcat Goldthwait without giving away all its twists and twisted details? “World’s Greatest Dad” is extremely dark and daring and definitely not for everyone, but it shows that with his third film as writer and director, Goldthwait is honing a unique and fearless voice, and that’s exciting to see.

The comic’s first, 1991’s “Shakes the Clown,” was about an alcoholic party clown; his second, “Sleeping Dogs Lie” from 2006, was about a woman who enjoys a sexual dalliance with her pet. This time, Goldthwait explores the ugliest and most selfish human instincts following the death of a teen. Robin Williams stars as Lance Clayton, a loser of a high-school poetry teacher. He’d dreamed of fame and fortune as a novelist; instead, he can only get a handful of students to sign up for his elective course while the young, popular creative writing teacher (Henry Simmons) finds his classroom packed. Lance’s 15-year-old son, Kyle (Daryl Sabara), is among the students who view him with disdain; then again, Kyle is a vile human being. All he cares about are video games and graphic porn, and he bullies the only friend he’s got. A freak accident alters both of their profiles on campus, a social shift that Lance exploits in hideous ways. “World’s Greatest Dad” borrows maybe a bit too obviously from “Heathers,” and it relies on the same joke being told repeatedly. But Goldthwait finds enough clever ways into that joke to make it fresh, and he makes you curious to see how far he’s willing to push it.

RATED: R for language, crude and sexual content, some drug use and disturbing images.

“Extract” tastes too bland

By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ten years ago, Mike Judge satirized the absurdities of the workplace experience from the perspective of put-upon employees with “Office Space.” It didn’t do much when it came out but, as we all know by now, it became a cult favorite on cable and home video, to the point where it changed the way you looked at the common stapler.

Now, Judge is back to the daily grind with “Extract,” but this time the writer-director tells his wacky working tales from the boss’ point of view: that of Jason Bateman’s Joel Reynold, owner of a flavor extract factory. It’s doubtful that this comedy will grab its audience in the same way, though. Judge’s characters are so one-note and their misadventures so ridiculous that it’s hard to get attached to them or care about how they turn out.

Pretty much everyone in “Extract” is stupid, unlikable, self-destructive or all of the above — and so there are no real surprises. They include: — Step (Clifton Collins Jr.), a doofus who prides himself on being the company’s fastest sorter but dreams of being promoted to floor manager; — Cindy (Mila Kunis), a sexy but sociopathic con artist who weasels her way into Joel’s factory with a scheme to make money off a serious accident; — Rory (T.J. Miller), a piercedand-tatted goth rocker who’s too busy handing out flyers for his latest show to do his job; and — Mary (Beth Grant), an assembly-line worker who complains in a nasally twang about everyone else slacking, even though she’s probably the least productive

Associated Press

In this film publicity image released by Miramax, Jason Bateman stars as Joel, left, and Mila Kunis stars as Cindy in a scene from Extract.” employee of all.

As the person responsible for overseeing all these idiots and incompetents, Bateman functions in his patented exasperated everyman mode, similar to his Michael Bluth character on “Arrested Development,” only without the smart, surreal dialogue. Joel is proud of the company he founded but finds himself unhappy at work and thinking about selling to General Mills. At the same time,

his nonexistent sex life with his frosty wife Suzie (a thoroughly underused Kristen Wiig) at his Texas McMansion has him pondering adulterous thoughts about the flirty Cindy.

His best friend Dean (Ben Affleck), a suave bartender at a generic hotel sports grill, suggests that Joel hire a gigolo (Dustin Milligan) to sleep with Suzie, thereby giving him license to cheat on her with Cindy.

With his Kenny G haircut and

canned mysticism, Dean is probably the most outlandish character of all.

But he provides just the latest example of Affleck’s ability to breeze into a movie in some flashy supporting part, steal the scenes he’s in and breeze back out again.

(It’s actually a better fit for him than most of his leading-man roles.)

On the other end of the freakshow spectrum is Nathan (David Koechner), Joel’s nerdy neighbor

from across the street who keeps hounding him and Suzie about attending the annual Rotary Club banquet with him. (“It’s just a real loose bunch,” he insists.) Over-thetop annoying as he is, Nathan feels more like a real person than pretty much everyone else in “Extract.”

We all know someone like him: a guy who drags people into painfully boring conversations, hangs around too long and can’t take a hint to go away.

“Taking Woodstock” proves disappointing

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I was feeling pretty good going into Ang Lee’s tribute to free love and music in “Taking Woodstock.” For three weeks in a row I’d reviewed excellent, four-star movies and I was beginning to think Hollywood could do no wrong (or that my taste was improving). The streak ends here, I’m sorry to say, after I left feeling a little flat from the slow, melancholy movie.

The famed Woodstock Music Festival nev e r t o o k p l a c e i n Wo o d s t o c k , N e w York. Everybody knows that. Instead, after several failed locations cleared the hippies out, the concert organizers moved the famed event to Max Yasgur ’s dairy farm in White Lake, a tiny community within the town limits of Bethel, New York. The story is told from the point of view of Elliot Teichberg (comedian Demetri Martin, in a distinctly against-type performance), the

head of the chamber of commerce and an over-serious young man whose off-kilter family runs a ramshackle roadside inn.

We find that in early 1969 that Elliot has left the thrill of Manhattan, where he’d hoped to find success with his painting and interior design skills, to bail out his father (Henry Goodman) and mother (the incomparable Imelda Staunton) who are failing in their room-and-board enterprise.

Elliot has long-hosted a summer music

jamboree on their motel property, something you do in the Catskills, I suppose. It consisted of playing records in the yard, according to Yasgur himself (played in this movie by Eugene Levy). When he hears of the latest Woodstock cancellation, Elliot calls up Michael Lang (Jonathon Groff), a curly-maned and mellow hippie who has an “in” with the event’s money people. From the minute the soft-spoken Lang shows up, clad in a leather vest with no shirt, we know he’s happy with the decision to come to White Lake, even if the town’s residents aren’t necessarily on board with the idea.

My biggest gripe about the movie is how little of the actual concert we see. A distant stage and speaker feedback are all we’re left to view and hear while Elliot is sliding around in the thick mud created by the notoriously rainy week. None of the great musical acts that performed for an estimated 500,000 people make any appearance. The Grateful Dead,

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who don’t even appear on the film’s lackluster soundtrack. Talk about disappointing.

Someone recently asked me to compare this film to “Almost Famous,” Cameron Crowe’s seminal opus about rock ‘n roll and self-discovery. They’re pretty much the same, except Taking Woodstock is missing any element of cool.

When Lee’s last film, “Brokeback Mountain, “was released it led to a media maelstrom that pushed the film to the Oscar brink and led many folks to the Annie Proulx short story on which it was based. Taking Woodstock is also based on a novel, one written by memoirist Elliot Tiber and Tom Monte. I didn’t love the movie, but I curious as to how the novel differs. The vibes put out by the Woodstock Music & Art Fair still sends chills through a lot of people forty years later. It might be a book I’d like to check out.

Hollywood's fall lineup takes shape LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood might be telling its own life story this fall, presenting a lineup of liars, phonies, smooth talkers, bloodsuckers and greedy old men.

Granted, there are heroes in the mix, including Robert Downey Jr. as the great detective in “Sherlock Holmes” and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in Clint Eastwood’s post-apartheid drama “Invictus.”

Beloved literature and storybook adventures come to the screen with Maurice Sendak’s children’s classic “Where the Wild Things Are,” Disney’s animated fairy tale “The Princess and the Frog” and “Lord of the Rings” filmmaker Peter Jackson’s adaptation of modern favorite “The Lovely Bones.”

And audiences will be reunited with absent friends, among them director James Cameron on the sci-fi epic “Avatar,” his first narrative film since “Titanic,” and Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their plaything pals as 3-D versions of “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2” hit theaters.

Still, rascals, rogues, beasts and baddies abound. Vampires and werewolves form opposing cliques in the season’s supernatural heavyweight, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” with Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson back for the second chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s vamp-schoolgirl romance.

The vampire-werewolf feud makes for a nice exploration of our own psyches, said “New Moon” director Chris Weitz.

“I suppose they’re the two most relatable human monsters that we can think of. They nicely encapsulate restraint and passion,” Weitz said.

“Vampires are cold-blooded, literally, and werewolves are hot-blooded.”

D o w n e y a n d d i re c t o r G u y Ritchie inject some passion into cold-blooded rationalist Holmes with their Victorian-era crime tale inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective stories, featuring Jude Law as sidekick Watson.

Holmes “is a weirdo by any standards,” Downey said. “He has dedicated the entirety of his adult

life to this one purpose, which is being a consulting detective and knowing things that other people don’t take the time to make it their business to know.

“That said, there’s something kind of bohemian about him. He also has made no effort to cultivate friendships with anybody, because that would be to the exclusion of his prime mover. So he’s trippy.”

Here’s a look at some of the other good, bad and trippy types in store this season: James Cameron’s “Avatar” leads a rush of films featuring humans in phony forms, including Bruce Willis’ “Surrogates,” a murder thriller in a world where people live vicariously through robot replicas, and Gerard Butler ’s “Gamer,” where mindcontrol allows puppetmaster players to toy with real people in lethal games.

“Avatar” stars Sam Worthington, Z o e S a l d a n a a n d C a m e ro n ’ s “Aliens” hero Sigourney Weaver in a 3-D saga in which human explorers embody clones of an alien race to

explore their planet’s fantastic environment. Cameron’s ocean explorations for the documentary “Aliens of the Deep” helped spark his imagination for the life forms of “Avatar.”

“I’ve seen some pretty amazing things at the bottom of the ocean.

I’ve seen in some cases things that have never been seen or described by science before. So I know there are wonders out there and I know that nature is infinitely more inventive not only than we imagined, but than we can imagine,” Cameron said.

T h e r e ’ s information in the book that’s just kind of doled out slowly, where you go, ’Wait a minute, something’s not quite right,”’ Damon said. “It’s sort of the liar who keeps saying, ‘OK, now I’m telling you everything.”’

“Greed is good,” robber baron Gordon Gecko declared in “Wall Street.” As the world reels over the great recession resulting from that philosophy, Hollywood is selling tickets for some moralizing over the price of greed, led by Jim Carrey in a new incarnation of Charles Dickens’ great skinflint, Ebenezer Scrooge.

Travel

Know before you go Guidebooks can show you the way

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge Most people love to travel, but feel a bit apprehensive about going to a new place and not being familiar with the surroundings. A great tool to have are guide books that you can read, make notes in, use to plan your travel itinerary and then take with you on your excursions.

Some great reference guides packed with a huge amount of information on famous destinations come from a company called Tourist Town Guides.

Here is an

outline of a couple of their books giving an idea of what they offer.

“Ocean City, A guide to Maryland’s S e a s i d e Resort”

by Kim Kash.

The book description: “Ocean City is Maryland’s seaside paradise. With a carnival atmosphere on the Boardwalk and quiet natural beauty on the bayside, this resort community has something for everyone. Learn what brings vacationers back year after year, including information about area beaches, the famous Ocean City Boardwalk, area dining, shopping, golfing, water parks and more. Using this comprehensive and completely independent guide, visitors can plan their ideal vacation to Ocean City.”

The book includes a simple, yet informative map of Ocean City, complete with street names. Then it begins with an explanation of the best way to use the book, an area orientation-including local services, seasons and temperatures and festivals and events.

Next are “The Boardwalk,” “The Ocean,” amusements, golf, parks and museums, shopping and day spas, restaurants, nightlife, accommodations, and finally a

list of day trips surrounding Ocean City.

“Frankenmuth, A guide to Michigan’s Little Bavaria” by Lynn Marie-Ittner K l a m m e r. T h e book description: “Frankenmuth is Michigan’s “Christmas Town” and a top tourist draw. Family events, u n i q u e shopping and historical significance combine in a natural, smalltown Bavarian-inspired setting. Use this comprehensive and completely independent guide to plan your Frankenmuth vacation. Learn about over 30 annual events, the best places to stay, eat and shop, natural and historical attractions and more.

Use this guide to explore and experience what Frankenmuth has to offer, both on and off the beaten path.”

The book includes a simple, yet informative map of Frankenmuth, complete with street names. It follows the same guidelines of chaptering as the previous book, an explanation how to best use the book, history of the town, etc.

There are a number of other books available that follow this same format, making your trip planning much simpler.

Included are Atlantic City, Hershey, Pa., Jackson Hole, Wy., Key West, Fla., Myrtle Beach, S.C., Niagra Falls, N.Y., and more.

These books retail for $13.95 to $14.95 and can be purchased at www.touristtown.com. They are much cheaper than hiring a tour guide that you aren’t sure you can trust, and very reasonable for the peace of mind you receive being able to preplan and get to know your destination before your trip.

Travel briefs Degas exhibit at New Orleans home where he lived NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans house where Impressionist painter Edgar Degas lived for a time is hosting an exhibit about his sojourn, including a larger-than-painted reproduction of the most important work he did in the city.

The house, now known as the Degas House, was owned by relatives of the artist’s mother and dates to the early 1850s.

Degas was 38 and not yet famous when he arrived in 1872 in New Orleans, the city of his mother ’s birth, after service in the FrancoPrussian War. He remained in New Orleans for 4 1/2 months.

The exhibit includes re p ro d u c t i o n s o f e i g h t o f t h e 18 paintings he made in New Orleans, some photos of his hosts, Degas and the house; reproductions of letters he wrote home during that time; and other information about his life and work.

The reproductions include “A Cotton Office in New Orleans,” which was the first work by Degas to be bought by a museum.

His host family, the Mussons, w e re i n t h e c o t t o n b u s i n e s s , and the scene depicted the office where they worked. The reproduction is about 40 inches across, almost four inches wider than the original, which is owned by the Musee des Beaux Arts in Pau, France.

For more information about Degas House, visit http://www. degashouse.com. The house, located at 2306 Esplanade Ave., offers tours and is also a bed and breakfast with rates beginning at $99.

Report: Caribbean hotel plans will stall due to visitor drop SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A new report offers a bleak outlook for the Caribbean hotel industry.

PKF Hospitality Research says the region’s hotels had an average

drop in profits of 16 percent in 2008 and there will be “further profit deterioration” this year.

The report finds steep discounts and special offers have not offset a 4 percent decline in visitors to the tourism-dependent area.

The report also predicts that about 50 planned hotel projects will likely be delayed because developers are struggling to get financing.

It noted a number of hotels have been forced to close, including the Four Seasons on Great Exuma in the Bahamas.

Creativille anniversary to benefit EAC

By ANN NICCUM Of The Edge Creativille, Inc. will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a bash to benefit the Edwardsville Arts Center (EAC).

The company’s President Steve Hartman, also a Director and Vice-President of the Center, said Creativille is hosting a show along with a party at EAC to honor Creativille’s anniversary and help raise money for the Center.

The show, “Impressed by Design: Letterpress in the Heartland,” will display the work of five artists – designers and printers: Amos Kennedy, Jim Sherraden, Eric Woods, Brady Vest and Ken Botnick.

Hartman, a native of Edwardsville, started his business in St. Louis, but moved it back to his hometown three years ago.

The business has become one of the most recognized and respected graphic design firms in the St. Louis region. Clients include: The May Department Stores Company, MasterCard International, SIUE, Madison County and The Market at Busch’s Grove in St. Louis.

The business and his role in the design industry has allowed Hartman to make connections with artists/designers across the country.

Hartman said having a show featuring Kennedy at EAC was

on a his list of things to do and the company’s anniversary combined with a plan to help EAC collided into one big event showing artists from the design/ printing world.

Now, the show has arrived and is currently under way at EAC. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork from the show and its giftshop and all additional donations will benefit EAC. Artwork includes posters, books, broadsides and greeting cards. The prices range from as little $5 in the gift shop to between $20 to $150 for posters to $1,480 for a wood piece at $1,40. Hartman said the company’s goal is to raise $10,000 for the Center.

The artwork is now on display at EAC and it will remain at EAC through Oct. 3. Along with the party, the show will be open to the public during normal EAC business hours.

Hartman said exhibit includes artwork that appeals to all ages.

“Really impressive,” Hartman said. “Gorgeous work I could hang in any room in my house.”

Posters include those with a variety of designs and colors and range from an assortment of designs including those for special events, musical bands like Beck, sports, animals and quotes.

Hartman said “Impressed

by Design: Letterpress in the Heartland” combines a mix of

Steve Hartman, curator of the new exhibit at EAC, " Impressed by Design: Letterpress in the Heartland." design and letter press printing from Kennedy’s activism work to Botnick’s craftsman book prints and designs. He said Sherraden, Woods and Vest styles fall in between.

Hartman said the artists all have their own style and all are well-known for their work.

Kennedy is an internationally

Marci Winters-McLaughlin/The Edge

known printing press artist from Gordo, Ala. His works include a mix of controversial posters and book art. For some of his pieces he uses quotes from well known individuals such as Rosa Parks and Sojourner Truth and even some lesser known quotes from people like his older brother. There is film on You Tube overviewing his work (www.youtube.com/ watch?v=gijH2Dss9Tg) and a trailer for a documentary about Kennedy “Proceed and Be Bold!” at www.brownfinchfilms.com.

Sherraden, manager, chief designer and archivist at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tenn.

– one of America’s oldest surviving show and poster shops – has print clients including B.B. King, Neil Young, Coldplay, The Dead and Alan Jackson; and designs customers such as The New York Times, Wired Magazine, Golf Digest and Anthropologie.

Woods operates the Firecracker Press design studio and letterpress printing shop in St. Louis and creates posters, greeting cards, invitations, books and advertisements.

Vest, founder of Hammerpress in Kansas City, Kan., began by printing CD and LP packaging for his rock and roll friends and now his work continues his rock and roll ways with other items such as wedding invitations, stationary, custom work for national restaurant chains, corporate identities, posters and art prints.

Botnick, Director of Kranzberg Book Studio at Washington University in St. Louis, designs both trade and small press books while pioneering new directions in the visual communications curriculum. He has also published trade books on art and design to handmade limited editions volumes by well-known literary figures and in the past was a co-proprietor of Red Ozier Press in the 1980s, responsible for design and production of art books at Yale University Press and served as Executive Director of the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina.

The curator for the show is Hartman. He opened Creativille in a one-room office in Clayton, Mo., in 1999. Three years ago Hartman relocated the business back to his hometown and today it resides in a pre-civil war brick colonial on Edwardsville’s Main Street.

The firm specializes in financial, employee and strategic communications and brand design and it has become one of the most recognized and respected graphic designers from the St. Louis region.

The Arts Artistic adventures Metabolic City on display at Wash. U. Amidst the cultural and political ferment of the 1960s, avantgarde artists and architects began embracing biological and scientific models as well as the potentials of emerging technologies to explore radical new directions in urban design, developing projects that were at once fanciful, complex and conceptually serious.

This fall the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present Metabolic City, an exhibition surveying work by the British collective Archigram; the Japanese Metabolists (whose members include Fumihiko Maki, architect of the Kemper Art Museum); and the Dutch

painter Constant Nieuwenhuys, an early member of the Situationist International.

Curated and designed by Heather Woofter, assistant professor of architecture in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Metabolic City will feature approximately 70 drawings, plans, models and conceptual projects, including rarely seen materials drawn from private archives and a sampling of work by influential predecessors. The exhibit runs through Jan. 4, 2010.

Organized thematically, the exhibition explores theoretical and conceptual overlaps between these groups, all of which came to view the city as a kind of living organism, in which civil infrastructure forms the basis for social interaction and individual liberty. At the same time, though they articulated their

views in explicitly political terms, each pioneered distinctive — and remarkably prescient — means of architectural representation, often employing techniques and processes that are only now entering mainstream practice.

Networks of urban circulation were a major area of focus. Mechanical systems, roadways, pedestrian passages and other built environments frequently were conceived in relation to electronics, media and other immaterial connections. Archigram’s Computer City (1964), for instance, tracks the infrastructures that allow its futuristic Plug-In City (1962-64) to operate. Maki’s Golgi Structures (1968) — named for Nobel Prize-winner Camillo Golgli, who developed techniques for visualizing nerve cell bodies — alternate dense urban areas with unstructured open spaces.

Encasing the latter are light-absorbing

cells that facilitate communication, energy distribution and mechanical systems.

These figures also shared a belief that adaptable habitats could foster unprecedented levels of freedom and mobility. Archigram’s Walking City (1964) consists of mammoth “pods,� or cities built as ship-like vessels, capable of traversing the earth. Nieuwenhuys’ New Babylon North (1960) suggests a sprawling serpentine structure that could be shaped and reshaped by inhabitants, their labors supported by factories hidden below ground. Wall City (1960), by the Metabolist Kisho Kurokawa, envisions a series of movable plug-in units for living and working, the increased efficiency of which would shorten the workweek and encourage leisure travel.

The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, part of Washington

University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, is committed to furthering critical thinking and visual literacy through a vital program of exhibitions, publications and accompanying events.

Metabolic City will open with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, and remain on view through January 4, 2010. Both the reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. The Kemper Art Museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays; and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The museum is closed Tuesdays. For more information, call (314) 935-4523 or visit kemperartmuseum.wustl. edu.

Family Focus

Unstructured playtime has its benefits

By ANNE WALLACE ALLEN Associated Press When we chose our house after moving to Boise in 2005, we definitely didn’t go on curb appeal.

Built in 1893, the house was clad in fleshtone cedar shingles, and the bathroom was so small that even the dog could hardly turn around in it.

Yet the house had one feature we loved: It was set in a neighborhood full of scooters, bicycles, swingsets, and other signs that children lived all around.

We were looking for a place where the kids could roam freely, as so many parenting books, blogs, and experts assure us kids don’t get to do nowadays. And in our block, we found it.

The kids, now 11 and 9, swing on a tree swing three doors down.

They disappear for hours into another neighbor ’s house, emerging with strange crafts they’ve created from scraps of wood in the basement.

This week, my daughter and four neighborhood friends spent days in our living room sewing stuffed animals out of mismatched socks, filling them with rice and beans, and selling them to raise money for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

It seems that whenever I talk to experts on childhood — be they psychologists, school principals or other parents — they bemoan the way that childhood has been taken up by structured activities.

They talk about our children’s over-scheduled, high-pressure lives.

Yet I know — or see — many people making a conscious effort to resist that trend. And despite the pressure we feel to help our kids succeed at sports, at music, and at school,

many people manage to make room for play in their kids’ lives.

“We have a swing next door, we have scooters, we have bikes, we have skateboards,” said Shaun Hammersmark, a Boise landscape designer who works at home and has made a conscious effort to create an environment where her kids, ages 5 and 11, and others can play.

The experts tell us that letting kids play, instead of organizing things for them to do, helps them socially, physically and even academically. Play supposedly promotes creativity and enhances problem-solving skills.

The American Academy of Pediatrics says unstructured playtime helps children learn to share, to conquer their fears, to adjust to new situations, and to stick up for themselves. In a 2007 report, the Academy said free playtime and recess are slipping away as schools focus on meeting new academic achievement demands brought about by laws like No Child Left Behind.

Hammersmark said the freestyle play in her yard helps kids from ages one year to 12 learn to get along with others.

“They learn to work with each other, and what better education can you give your kids?” she said. The academics who study children and childhood tell us kids need to figure out playtime on their own. They don’t need to be directed.

“They say, ’I’m bored, I’m bored,’ but guess what, five minutes later you peek in and they’re playing away,” said Brandy Vanderlee, a mother of three in Macedon, N.Y. There are scolds in the blogosphere who tell us that parents who let their children

take risks by being on their own are neglectful.

Plenty on the other side say parents overschedule their kids and hinder their development.

I don’t know which side is right. But the kids I know seem happier when we just leave them alone to play.

“In most cultures and through most of history, people did know that kids needed time to play, but they didn’t feel that adults should play with kids,” said Stephanie

Toenail Fungus

Coontz, who teaches history and family studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash.

Until recent decades, “there wasn’t this idea that parents should be intervening constantly to make things a teachable moment and expand their minds,” said Coontz. “Their minds expand a lot better when they pursue things they’re interested in for themselves.”

And when they’re playing

on their own, their parents get a lot more stuff done.

Sure, the sewing circle of kids in my living room ended up accidentally using someone’s mother ’s $12 socks that weren’t actually mismatched in the course of their stuffed animal creation A small price to pay for the full day of uninterrupted working time that I enjoyed in my office about 8 feet away.

Then again, they weren’t my socks.

Hey, Mom! Getting a handle on healthy after-school snacks

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge “I’m hungry, what do we have to eat?” is the cry of those back to school kids when they get off that bus in the afternoon. There is the ongoing dilemma of what to give them without ruining their dinner, satisfying their bottomless hunger, yet keeping them fairly healthy.

Here are some ideas for some quick, yet satisfying snacks that kids will like.

“Ants on a Log” This classic snack is cheap and healthy. Just spread one large stalk of celery with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and place 10 to 15 raisins on top of the peanut butter.

Your kids will love it.

Grandmas Butter Dips These little buttery, crunchy buns are perfect with a soup or stew. It is cheesy and we love the green onion bits in it. It makes a great after school snacks and finger food for parties.

Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese 3 green onions, finely chopped 1 cup 2% milk 1/2 cup butter Instructions: Preheat oven to 450F. Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and green onions. Add milk and stir slowly with a fork until dough clings together. Turn the dough onto a floured board, coat the dough with flour and knead lightly about 10 times. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch squares. Melt butter in a 450F degree oven in a 8×8 square baking pan. Coat all the sides of the squares in the melted butter. Bake in same pan for 25 to 30 minutes.

After baking, flip the little buns over in the pan to coat the top with any remaining butter. Pull apart and serve with soup, chili, salad or a casserole dish.

Confetti Snack Mix Courtesy of Taste of HomeSimple and Delicious “I’ve made this party mix for many years and I usually double the recipe,” writes Jane Bray from Temple Terrace, Fla. “It makes a wonderful gift, and everyone always wants the recipe.”

Prep/Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients: 4 cups Golden Grahams 1 cup dry roasted peanuts 1 cup dried banana chips

1 cup raisins 1 cup milk chocolate M&M’s Directions: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 7 cups.

Sweet Popcorn Snack Mix Courtesy of Taste of HomeSimple and Delicious “Pack a sandwich bag of this treat in each of your children’s lunches and watch their eyes light up.” relates Shirley Glaab of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Coated with cocoa and cinnamon-sugar, the munchable medley also is a yummy after-school snack.

SERVINGS: 10 Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients: 8 cups popped popcorn 2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar 1 tablespoon baking cocoa 1 cup honey bear-shaped crackers 1 cup broken thin pretzel sticks 1/2 cup milk chocolate M&M’s Directions: Place popcorn in a large bowl.

Combine cinnamon-sugar and cocoa; sprinkle over popcorn and toss to coat. Stir in graham snacks, pretzels and M&M’s. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 21/2 quarts.

Tiny Tortilla Pizzas Courtesy of Parenting.com What you need: Small corn tortillas Salsa

Shredded cheddar cheese Mound a little salsa and cheese on each tortilla. Cook on foil-lined tray in toaster oven until cheese has melted and is brown at the edges.

Kids can help: Assemble the “pizzas,” cover the tray with foil Extras: A layer of refried beans under the salsa, cilantro for garnish, a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of finely chopped green pepper.

Strawberry “Cheesecakes” Courtesy of Parenting.com I have yet to meet a kid who didn’t like cheesecake, and I have yet to meet a parent who wasn’t terrified of having one at arm’s reach. This snack is the perfect way for everyone to have the taste they want without the fat and calories of a whole slice.

3 ounces of cream cheese, softened for 10 seconds in the microwave 3 tablespoons strawberry jam A few sheets of graham crackers, broken into squares or rectangles Mix the softened cream cheese with the jam. Spread a little of the mixture on top of each graham cracker. Either eat right away, or chill for 30 minutes. The grahams will soften and become more like a cheesecake crust, and the topping will firm up.

Kids can help: Break up grahams, stir cream cheese and jam Extras: Use different flavors of jam, top with a slice of fresh strawberry.

Dining Delights Local food movement continues to grow

By JIM ROMANOFF Associated Press When a vegetable patch at the White House eclipses the famed presidential rose garden, it's clear the local food movement has gone mainstream.

Direct sales of food from farms grew 49 percent to an impressive $1.2 billion between 2002 and 2007, according to the latest government agricultural census. Yet many local meat farmers are struggling.

P a r t o f t h e p ro b l e m , c h e f s and local producers said, is how Americans cook and eat.

From pigs, for example, consumers are mostly interested in eating "high on the hog," which describes the choicest cuts.

"The loins and racks of a pig, for instance, are easy to sell," chef and meat expert Bruce Aidells said, "but that leaves the legs, shoulders, head and belly, which make up most of the animal."

Farmers often end up selling less sought-after cuts at a substantially lower price per pound or, as a fallback, turn them in to ground meat. But turning the meat into processed foods or grinding it into patties or nuggets, as industrial farmers do, is more difficult on a smaller scale.

Frank Pace, a trained chef and the meat manager at Healthy Living Market, a large natural food store in South Burlington, Vt., agrees.

For the most part, his customers go for loins, chops and steaks because those cuts are suited to the type of quick cooking American's are used to.

"Customers that live in areas with lots of farms are more likely to buy a variety of cuts," Pace said, "but for most, it's whatever they can throw on the grill for a fast meal."

Shannon Hayes raises chicken, beef, veal, lamb and pork with her family at Sap Bush Hollow farm in upstate New York. To sustain local agriculture, she said, consumers need to have a basic understanding of how to work with each of the different parts of the animal so they can make meal planning decisions based on what the farmer has in stock, "not what the recipe featured in the latest cooking magazine tells us we have to run out and buy."

Hayes said she often helps her customers select alternative cuts "either to suit their budget, or to meet their needs with what I happen to have." Each time, she said, they learn to work with something new, their confidence grows and her business benefits. She has even written two cookbooks, "Farmer and the Grill" and "Grassfed Gourmet."

The Obamas have helped support the local food movement in other ways, as well.

Last spring, they dined at New York City's Blue Hill Restaurant, where award-winning chef Dan

September 10, 2009

Barber's menu showcases local producers as well as meat and produce that the business raises on its own farms.

Most top chefs will create their daily specials (or in Barber's case the whole menu) based on what is the freshest and most delicious at the market each day. Learning to eat locally is about learning to work with what is there, Hayes said.

When it comes to meat, Barber said it's the more muscular, tougher cuts such as chuck, shoulder and brisket that have the most flavor.

Home cooks just need to "reacquaint themselves with the low heat, slow cooking methods that are needed to bring out the tenderness," he said.

••• Pork shanks are a perfect choice for braising, but you may need to ask your butcher to get them for you. Wrapping them in foil before roasting is a great way to slowcook the meat while producing a delicious, intense sauce. If you can't find shanks, the recipe works just as well with chunks or Boston butt or blade-end pork loin roasts.

BLACK BEAN-INFUSED FOIL-WRAPPED PORK SHANKS Start to finish: 4 hours 15 minutes (30 minutes active) Servings: 8 8 dried shiitake mushrooms 1 1/2 cups boiling water 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger 2 garlic cloves 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 tablespoons Asian black bean sauce 1 teaspoon peanut oil 1 teaspoon sugar, plus extra for sauce 2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar, plus extra for sauce 2 large pork shanks (about 4 pounds total) 1/4 cup dry sherry 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions 1 teaspoon soy sauce, plus extra for sauce In a small bowl, cover the mushrooms with the boiling water.

Let soak for at least 45 minutes, or until tender. Drain the mushrooms and reserve 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid. Cut off and discard the mushroom stems, then thinly slice the caps. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the ginger, garlic, cilantro, black bean sauce, peanut oil, 1 teaspoon sugar and the vinegar.

Process until the mixture forms a smooth paste.

Heat the oven to 325 F. Cut 6 to 8 deep, equally spaced, gashes in the meaty part along the length of each shank. Fill the gashes with the bean and cilantro paste, then rub any remaining paste over the rest of each shank. Place the shanks in a large bowl and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine the sherry, reserved mushroom soaking

to let any of the liquid spill out.

Pull the foil tightly up around the shank to seal in the liquid (the bone can be exposed).

Place the shanks vertically in a deep casserole or roasting pan.

Roast for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is almost falling from the bone.

Remove from oven. Over a bowl, carefully remove the foil so as not to lose any of the braising juices.

Pour the juices into a saucepan, skim away any fat, then season with sugar, vinegar and soy sauce.

liquid and chicken broth. Boil the mixture over medium-high until reduced to 4 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Add the soy sauce and set aside.

Measure two 18-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Place half of the scallions and half of the sliced mushrooms into the center of each sheet. Spoon half of the reduced sherry mixture over the vegetables.

Place one pork shank on top of each mound of vegetables with the bone vertical. Loosely pull the foil around the shank, taking care not

St. Louis Bread Company Edwardsville/Collinsville 4 1/2 Stars OK men, don’t scoff at the rating, but embrace it! Although men look at it as “chick food,” there is something for every taste on their menu. Fantastic soups, sandwiches,

bakery items, coffees, teas, salads, and more.

Great place to take a laptop or a book and just kick back and sip a cup of java.

Bully’s Smokehouse Edwardsville 3 1/2 stars The food is good at Bully’s, but a little foofoo for a barbecue place. The prices are a little more than typical barbecue fare. Good for business lunch or dinner and nice servings.

Pantera’s Pizza Edwardsville 2 1/2 stars Still some of the best pizza around, but the

decor needs a bit of updating, along with the dinner ware. The buffet is good if they keep it full, but that can be an issue at times. You better put on your running shoes to get that hot selection before everyone else beats you to it!

El Maguey Mexican Restaurant Edwardsville 3 Stars Good chips and salsa start you off with a nice selection of dishes. Authentic Mexican dishes are delivered promptly to your table.

Jimmy John’s Sandwich Shop Edwardsville

4 stars Where sandwiches are concerned, you can hardly beat a good Jimmy John’s. Their Bootlegger Club and The Big John are some of the favorites around here. Their cookies are great also, ask them to heat it up. They really are “freaky fast!”

Big Daddy’s Edwardsville 3 stars Typical bar fare of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and wraps round out Big Daddy’s menu. They offer specials on certain days that are a real value. Service can be a bit slow when they are busy.

Shopper Stoppers Welcome to the World, Baby!
