No strings attached? No problem Business specializes in instrument repair

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge Those who play stringed instruments won’t need to travel far any longer to get their instruments repaired or restored.

Pherson String Shop, located at 452A East Vandalia in Edwardsville, recently opened and is a full service shop specializing in repair, restoration, rental and sales of stringed instruments.

Jesse (pronounced Jess) Pherson has a vast background with string instruments.

B o r n i n F o r t Wa y n e , I n d . , Pherson began playing the cello at a very young age after moving to Asia. “I actually started playing cello in Taiwan when I was 8 or 9,” Pherson said.

“My mom taught English for Purdue and IU (Indiana University) and they opened up a satellite office in Malaysia so off we went.”

After spending three-and-a-half years in Asia, Pherson and his family moved back to the U.S. and settled in Kirkwood, Mo. Pherson enjoyed playing the cello for Merawood Community Orchestra and the Belleville Philharmonic before a shoulder injury ended his hopes of a professional career.

“I can play for 5 or 10 or 15 minutes, but I can’t play for any length of time,” Pherson said.

Wa n t i n g t o s t a y w i t h i n t h e industry after his injury, Pherson began a two year apprenticeship under the direction of Michael Kocher of St. Louis Strings, an i n s t ru m e n t s h o p i n S t . L o u i s , where he learned to make violins.

Because of Pherson’s injury, he focuses on ergonomics and proper fit of string instruments.

Pherson worked at St. Louis Strings for several years before eventually opening his own shop in Waterloo where he currently lives, but he was soon called upon to open a shop in Edwardsville.

“The public school teachers and Vera at SIUE wanted me to come up here and have a shop,” Pherson said. Vera McCoy-Sulentic is the director of SIUE’s Suzuki violin

Pherson String Shop is open Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. until Pherson can move to Edwardsville.

He makes a limited number of cellos each year, and there is currently a one year wait list to have him build one.

Although Pherson enjoys making cellos, violas and violins, he said

that it wasn’t his most favorite part of his job. “Probably the restoration aspect (is what he enjoys most),” he said.

“I’d say that restoration is my forte - bringing an instrument back to life that everybody else has given up on.” He also thought that repairing cellos was a close second.

Pherson String Shop also p r o v i d e s i n s t r u m e n t r e n t a l s .

“We do the full range of rentals at a competitive price but a much h i g h e r q u a l i t y, ” P h e r s o n s a i d .

“That came from having lived

overseas and knowing how to get the instruments and how to deal with them.”

The shop is also currently o f f e r i n g a r e n t a l p r o m o t i o n .

“Anybody who comes to our shop and has a rental credit somewhere else, we honor up to $250 of their rental credit,” Pherson said. “Just bring in proof of accumulated rental at another shop.”

People People planner New book traces Zoo’s history Observing exotic creatures, petting friendly animals, and riding the train through the Zoo grounds – no one can forget the enchanting family ritual of visiting the Saint Louis Zoo. In reality, Zoo visitors experience only the tip of the iceberg. A new book published by University of Missouri Press, Animals Always, gives readers a glimpse into the unseen work and overlooked history of the Saint Louis Zoo. The Zoo, which will celebrate its centennial in 2010, now houses more than 18,000 animals and is rated America’s #1 zoo by Zagat, the well-known rating agency.

Overflowing with stories, photographs, and fascinating sidebars, Animals Always covers the Zoo’s rich history and its emergence as a modern-day center of research and conservation. The Saint Louis Zoo has earned its excellent reputation thanks to its forward thinking and its community support—not to mention familiar faces like Marlin Perkins and Phil the Gorilla. St. Louis was the first city in the world to support its zoo through public taxes, and the Zoo remains free to all visitors today.

“We’re looking forward to celebrating our centennial with long-time Zoo fans throughout next year,” said Dr. Jeffery P. Bonner, Dana Brown President and CEO of the Saint Louis Zoo. “This new book is a celebration of our past and present, and a great way to kick-off our 2010 celebration.”

Author Mary Delach Leonard takes readers from the days when schoolchildren collected 238,400 pennies to purchase Miss Jim the elephant, through years of renovation and innovation, to the 21st-century realization of the River ’s Edge habitat, which elevates the concept of natural displays to a new level, and the WildCare Institute, launched in 2004 to support animal conservation centers around the world. Vintage photographs offer up animal shows and early visitors in period dress, and modern color images capture today’s awe-inspiring wild exhibits.

Readers are treated to behind-the-scenes anecdotes and statistics to which visitors are normally not privy. In 1917, the Zoo’s annual attendance was 299,100 visitors. Today, annual attendance is 3,000,000. A peek at the current Zoo grocery list for the animals reveals a need for 43,056 red

delicious apples per year—but also 122,000 mice and 16,750 rats! If each of 7,500 medical tests the Zoo performs each year used one standard-sized test tube and the tubes were laid end-to-end, they would tower three times higher than the Gateway Arch.

Through page after page of surprises—pictures never before published and amazing historical facts—as well as anecdotes sure to stir memories, this coffee-table volume captures an institution that has always been one step ahead. And Zoo President Jeffrey Bonner gives readers a peek at what’s in store for the Zoo in the not-too-distant future. Animals Always is a tribute to the Saint Louis Zoo’s innovation, dedication, and long-standing commitment to the people of St. Louis.

Mary Delach Leonard, a feature writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for seventeen years, is presently on the staff of the St. Louis Beacon and lives in Collinsville, Illinois.

Animals Always: 100 Years at the Saint Louis Zoo (9780-8262-1855-1, $29.95 hard cover) is available at Saint Louis Zoo gift shops, online at www.stlzoo.org, at local bookstores and online retailers.

At Science Cafe, Albrecht will discuss the crucial role botanical gardens play in saving plants from habitat destruction and the challenges and solutions they face in doing so.

Albrecht focuses his research on rare plant populations and ex situ conservation, the practice of storing plants in off-site seed banks. This form of conservation complements habitat protection and is a practical

and efficient way to conserve plant diversity and ensure that the basic ecosystems on which human populations depend are sustained indefinitely. Plants conserved in seed banks are protected from habitat destruction, climate change, and exotic pests and weeds and are immediately available as genetic stock for large-scale habitat restoration projects and focused species management.

Science CafĂŠ offers stimulating conversation about issues in the news each month. The series is presented by the Saint Louis Science Center and the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Music

Skillet to perform at The Pageant Christian rockers to spread their message

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge Christian rock has been finding its way onto mainstream radio more and more these days.

Groups like Reliant K, Amberlin, Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet are breaking the rules by getting their music out on the airwaves of the biggest rock stations, something that has been unheard of until now.

Skillet will be pulling into The Pageant with guests Hawk Nelson, Decyfer Down and The Black Letter, on Tuesday, Nov. 17, with doors opening at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m.

The American Christian rock band kicked off in 1996 in Memphis, Tenn. The group consists of lead vocalist and bassist, John Cooper, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and wife of John, Korey Cooper, lead guitarist, Ben Kasica,and drummer and vocalist, Jen Ledger.

The group has been nominated twice for a Grammy for their album releases, “Collide” and “Comatose.”

The group has released eight albums in the 13 years since their formation, the most current “Comatose” which was released on Aug. 25, 2009. With songs like “Hero,” “Monster,” “Dead

For The Edge

Skillet Inside,” “Would It Matter,” and a host of others, the album has earned serious praise. Most notable

was the use of the song “Hero,” used to publicize the first football game of the 2009 NFL season

between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans. The song “Monster” has been used in the

episode “Jason: The Pretty-Boy Bully” on MTV’s Bully Beatdown and also for the WWE “Hell in a Cell” event. Both soundtracks are used in the video game “WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010.

Adding to those accolades would be the No. 2 debut on Billboard top 200, tying the record for the highest-charting Christian album on The Billboard 200 with “Underoath’s” 2006 release “Define the Great Line” that also debuted at No. 2.

“The Awake & Alive Tour” is sure to bring fans a great night of music, which will feature many of the new songs from their newest release.

Although not officially released yet as a single, their cut “Awake and Alive” has hit the “Hot 100,” the only Skillet song to do that.

Tickets for the show are now on sale at the Pageant box office, at www.ticketmaster.com, or by calling 1-800-653-8000.

Tickets are $25 in advance for the main floor, $30 at the door. Balcony will be general admission for age 21 and over.

There is a VIP package for $48, which includes early entry to the show, a Skillet pre-show “meet and greet” and a free Skillet “Awake” CD. There are also special group discounts, which include two free tickets after purchasing 15 tickets.

The Great Crusades are currently working on their seventh album at Chicago’s Joyride Studios. They are performing in the U.S. for the rest of 2009 and touring Europe in Spring 2010.

“Keep Them Entertained” is The Great Crusades’ sixth album since their 1998 inception. The Chicago band released a decade-spanning career-retrospective DVD in May 2008.

Their influences are AC/DC, The Band, Richard Thompson, Nick Cave and the bad Seeds, Neil Young, Gallon Drunk, The Jayhawks, The Replacements, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and a host of other groups. The group’s love for a number of different artists has allowed The Great Crusades to create a unique sound, culminating from bits and pieces of these influences.

The Great Crusades have made their way to Edwardsville, playing at Stagger Inn Again on Christmas Night, 2008.

They will return to the area again on Monday, Dec. 28, at 8 p.m., when they open for The Unconscious at The Pageant.

His 2008 recording, Burn Your Playhouse Down, is a collection of never before heard duets between Jones and an illustrious group of guest stars. The recordings range from the mid70s with his former wife Tammy Wynette to a 2007 recording with his daughter Georgette Jones, titled You and Me and Time.

J o n e s ’ l a t e s t a l b u m , A Collection of My Best Recollection, features 10 hit singles and two previously unreleased songs, I Don’t Want to Know and I’m a Long Gone Daddy.

“Amelia”

Considering the risks Amelia Earhart took, losing her life in the call of aviation, Hilary Swank and director Mira Nair don’t put much on the line in their film biography of the pioneering flyer. This is a biopic on autopilot, providing the facts but not the passions of Earhart’s achievements, her marriage to her promoter (Richard Gere) and her fling with a fellow pilot (Ewan McGregor).

Swank’s Earhart repeatedly tells people how she has to fly or die. Yet when she’s in the air, she’s as stiff and closed-off as a passenger stuck in a middle coach seat on a trans-Atlantic flight. As Earhart, Swank exposes what could be her prime limitation: She doesn’t have much range. Swank can tear up the screen in raw street drama such as “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby,” for which she earned Academy Awards. She’s miserably out of her skin as the stately Earhart, though — drab, distant, utterly uninvolving. In choppy fashion, the movie intercuts between Earhart’s doomed last flight around the world in 1937 and the achievements leading up to it over the previous decade — her Atlantic and Pacific crossings, her mentoring of female flyers, her efforts to establish regional passenger shuttle service. Lovely aerial images, lush landscapes and rich sets and costumes are the film’s lone strengths. In almost every other regard, “Amelia” veers off course.

RATED: PG for some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking.

RUNNING TIME: 111 min.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“Astro Boy”

A shiny hodgepodge of “Pinocchio,” “WALL-E,” “Oliver Twist,” “Gladiator” and “Superman,” with some obvious visual touches taken from “The Iron Giant.” As its own entity, though, it’s pretty forgettable. Director David Bowers (“Flushed Away”), who co-wrote the script with Timothy Hyde Harris (“Kindergarten Cop,” “Space Jam”), gets some help from a lively voice cast that includes Freddie Highmore, Kristen Bell, Bill Nighy and Nathan Lane, and the Art Deco look of the film’s architecture has a classic appeal. But it almost feels like there are too many movies competing simultaneously in what is essentially a pretty standard tale of good versus evil. The jokes aren’t

November 12, 2009

all that funny and the father-son relationship between Astro Boy (Highmore) and brilliant scientist Dr. Tenma (a typically lethargic and curiously cast Nicolas Cage) isn’t all that heart-tugging. There’s a lot going on, but none of it ever really grabs you. (Along those same innocuous lines, the movie is sufficiently bright and colorful for kids of all ages without ever being too scary.) Based on a Japanese comic book from Osamu Tezuka that began in 1951, “Astro Boy” traces the origin of a young superhero. He began life as a regular kid named Toby, but after dying in a freak lab accident, his father brings him back to life as a robot containing Toby’s personality and memories (as well as some tricky gadgets and powers that are never explained).

Once Dr. Tenma realizes this robot version of his child is inferior and ends him away, Toby flees the floating, gleaming Metro City and lands back on the now-trashed Earth below, where he becomes known as Astro Boy. RATED: PG for some action and peril, and brief mild language.

RUNNING TIME: 90 min.

“Boondock Saints: All Saints Day”

The original 1999 “Boondock Saints” was a ridiculously over-the-top action film about a pair of Irish-American twins (Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus) who set out with guns, recklessness and boozy bravado to rid Boston of criminals and mafia. The film, hardly seen in theaters, became a minor cult classic on DVD. Writer-director Troy Duffy has returned with exactly the same vigilante shlock he produced a decade ago. Because it revels so thoroughly in drinking, fighting and Catholicism, “Boondock Saints” has been called “Irishspoitation.” Like its predecessor, “All Saints Day” laments a society full of red-tape and a culture dominated by the “self-help, 12-step generation.” This comes across less like “Taxi Driver,” and more like what Travis Bickle might have made if someone gave him a camera. Far more interesting is the story behind Duffy and “Boondock Saints,” which is Hollywood legend. For that, rent the fascinating 2003 documentary “Overnight.”

RATED” R for bloody violence, language and some nudity.

RUNNING TIME: 117 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Half a star out of four.

“Gentlemen Broncos”

This latest comedy from the makers of indie sensation “Napoleon Dynamite” is so weird, so off, so simply wrong that even freakish nerd Napoleon would have a hard time lending it his catch word, “Sweet.” The husband-and-wife team of director Jared Hess and co-writer Jerusha Hess, who followed “Napoleon Dynamite” with basically the same movie in “Nacho Libre,” strain to mine another misfit story in like vein. Michael Angarano stars as an aspiring sci-fi writer whose story is stolen by his literary hero (Jemaine Clement). Clement is the lone highlight by virtue of being occasionally funny and not completely off-putting like the rest of the cast, which includes Jennifer Coolidge, Sam Rockwell, Mike White, Halley Feiffer and Hector Jimenez. The filmmakers wallow in such gags as explosive reptile defecation, gonad theft and projectile vomiting, delivering a chaotic, infuriating mess that will challenge the most-devoted of the “Napoleon Dynamite” faithful.

RATED: PG-13 for some crude humor.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

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

“House of the Devil”

Filmmaker Ti West’s homage to low-rental 1980s horror scores points for restraint and attention to detail but defaults when the mortgage comes due with a bloody, pointless, uninspired climax. Newcomer Jocelin Donahue stars as a college sophomore on a baby sitting job for a creepy couple (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov) who have devilish plans for her on the night of a lunar eclipse. The movie is 90 percent setup, some of it acutely observed and starkly evocative of the decade in which it’s set, yet much of it as dull and forgettable as the big-hair ’80s. At the end, when up jumps the devil and his followers at last, West’s moderation vanishes in an instant, the movie collapsing into noisy, splotchy, gory mayhem, clumsily stitched together and obscured by strobe-light effects. For mood, it’s a faithful flashback, but the movie’s about as scary as something you saw again and again way back when.

“The House of the Devil” falls apart

By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lowrental 1980s horror returns with filmmaker Ti West’s “The House of the Devil,” which scores points for restraint and attention to detail but defaults when the mortgage comes due with a bloody, pointless, uninspired climax.

The movie is 90 percent setup, some of it acutely observed and starkly evocative of the decade in which it’s set, yet much of it as dull and forgettable as the big-hair ‘80s.

At the end, when up jumps the devil and his followers at last, West’s moderation vanishes in an instant, the movie collapsing into noisy, splotchy, gory mayhem, clumsily stitched together and obscured by strobe-light effects.

On-screen virtually the entire movie, newcomer Jocelin Donahue c o m e s o ff a s a b i t s t i ff a n d detached, though her character, college sophomore Sam, is refreshingly more assertive and inquisitive than the genre’s usual airhead victims.

Writer-director West offers a prolonged buildup as Sam finds the perfect apartment she can’t afford with a maternal landlady (Dee Wallace), then stumbles onto a campus flyer for a baby-sitting gig offered by the Ulmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov).

It’s painfully clear Sam should skip this job. The Ulmans are weird, suspiciously desperate and live in the middle of nowhere.

There are odd phone exchanges with the creepy-voiced Mr. Ulman, who stands up Sam on a face-toface meeting then agrees to pay her excessively for a few hours work.

Sam’s pal Megan (Greta Gerwig) tells her to blow off the Ulmans, who eventually reveal that it’s not exactly a baby sitter they need.

Associated Press

In this film publicity image released by Magnolia Pictures, Jocelin Donahue is shown in a scene from the Magnet Release “The House of the Devil.”

And the whole thing is even more foreboding for taking place on the night of a lunar eclipse.

B u t N o o n a n a n d Wo ro n o v manage to temper the strangeness of the Ulmans, making the couple seem more genteel and eccentric than crazy and bloodthirsty.

Of course, we know they are crazy and bloodthirsty, and just in case we doubt that, West tosses in an accomplice (AJ Bowen) who

carries out one explosively violent act that breaks up the monotony of the movie’s long, dry prelude.

We know from the title, the shots of the lunar eclipse and a few clunky clues West weaves in that the Ulman clan are devil worshippers on a deadline. Satan needs to hire a better staff, though, given how bad these followers are at their jobs.

They outnumber their

petite victim and could have overpowered her the moment she walked in the door. Instead, they drag the night out, allowing her free run of the house, giving her ample opportunity to discover their intentions and escape.

Sam spends most of the night meandering about, leaving most of “House of the Devil” about as fun as watching a baby sitter, well, meander about.

The retro touches are nice throwbacks to the ‘80s — feathered hair, a portable cassette player the size of a brick, dirty old pay phones in pre-mobile days, even a rotary-dial phone.

In the end, this homage to ‘80s horror is little more than a faithful flashback — authentic in execution but about as scary as something you saw again and again way back when.

“A Christmas Carol” tries 3-D approach

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I go through a ritual every year in November.

It happens in November because that’s when the holiday-themed movies are released. Have you every tried to actually watch a Christmas movie on Christmas? It’s nigh on impossible.

What follows is a sample dialogue that I frequently find myself in when the eleventh month rolls around. Regarding the big Christmas-themed movie of the year: “How was it? Did you like it? Was it great?”

“Not really. But I didn’t like ‘The Polar Express’ either.”

I find myself using it expressly in defense of Robert Zemeckis this year as I critique “A Christmas Carol,” his new work combining the Disney Digital 3-D experience with the elaborate motion capture technique he perfected as director of The Polar Express in 2004.

November 12, 2009

“A Christmas Carol”

RATED: PG for scary sequences and images.

RUNNING TIME: 96 minutes.

ROBERT’S RANKING one and a half stars out of four.

This movie is remarkably faithful to every film and/or stage version of Charles Dickens’s famous story. The dialogue, the Victorian style, and the genuine spirit of the season come through in vibrant color. Here, Scrooge is played by Jim Carrey. Carrey is the ideal choice, if you think about it, for this type of film. It employs all of the actor’s rubber-faced mannerisms and penchant for physicality into an animated (what is Carrey, if not animated?) film marketed for children. He plays a total of eight roles in the picture, including Scrooge

at many stages in his life as well as all three spirits that visit in hopes of teaching him the true meaning of the holiday he’s always called a humbug.

Joining Carrey in Zemeckis’ ambitious project are Gary Oldman as the impish Bob Cratchit and Colin Firth as Scrooge’s hopeful nephew, Fred. It’s fun to see animated characters that resemble great actors, especially in instances when they’re aged significantly forward or backward to play themselves as either old men or young boys. The technology is to be commended for its ability to capture a performer’s soul.

“A Christmas Carol” is more familiar a story to me than “The Polar Express” was before it.

Forgive me for continuing to draw parallels between the two, but it never lacks the forward progress that I felt with the earlier film. This might be due to the difference between the source materials. Or maybe Carrey does a better job with the weighty Dickensian work than

Tom Hanks did a hot chocolate-touting train conductor. You never thought I’d even hint at Jim Carrey outperforming Tom Hanks, did you?

Tom Hanks is a national hero, but “The Polar Express” is the quietest movie I’ve ever seen.

Draw what you will from that statement, but I’ve never seen so much active hush as there is in the pristine silence of that film.

This re-working of “A Christmas Carol “suffers its frequent stretches of quiet, but nothing prepared me for the 3D effect of Mother Nature. Gentle snow and blinding rain become gale forces behind the polarized lens. I also thought some of the more intriguing parts were a little scarier than necessary for the family audience that Disney so adores. The ghosts of Jacob Marley (also Oldman) and of Christmas Yet-to-Come (also Carrey, though you wouldn’t know it to see it) were ghoulish and fun, but a little more than I’d throw at anyone under the age of 7 or 8. But don’t let me scare you away from a Happy Holiday!

"The Box" has an empty feel LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cameron Diaz and James Marsden have a terrible moral dilemma in Richard Kelly’s “The Box”: Press a button on a mysterious container, they’ll get $1 million, and someone they don’t know will die.

What button, on whose box, did Kelly push to get the money to make this awful, preposterous thriller?

If Hollywood were a three-strikes, you’re-out kind of place, Kelly would be flirting with permanent banishment. His first film, cult hit “Donnie Darko,” was an intriguing foul ball, muddled and pretentious but showing signs of a strong talent in search of his voice.

His second, “Southland Tales,” was a disaster, an unintelligible heap of bombast that was distressing to watch, the way it just refused to end. Life’s too short, you know?

While not as long and overblown as “Southland Tales,” this third try is just as bad in its way. And how it treats Frank Langella, who finally got some cinematic respect with his Academy Award nomination for last year ’s “Frost/Nixon,” is shameful.

“The Box” is like a magician’s prop: It gives the illusion that it’s

WE AT

a “Twilight Zone” episode to an installment of “The X-Files” in its post-Mulder death throes, when the show turned to rot.

Kelly piles on government conspiracies, covert abductions, an epidemic of nosebleeds, mobs of automatons controlled by forces beyond human comprehension, quotes from Arthur C. Clarke and Jean-Paul Sartre. And worse still: awful 1970s plaid pants.

The director and his cast treat all this ridiculousness with such gravity (Diaz bears an unbecoming scowl through almost the entire movie) that the dam thankfully bursts and the hammy dialogue and hammier performances provoke laughs as “The Box” shambles toward its overdue demise.

Kelly loosely based Norma and Arthur on his own parents — his dad worked for NASA in Virginia and his mom had a similar foot injury caused by medical malpractice. No doubt they’re cool with it, but for the rest of us, “The Box” is best left unopened.

Writer-director Kelly adapted this mess from Richard Matheson’s short story “Button, Button,” previously the basis for an episode

of the 1980s TV revival of “The Twilight Zone.”

With its O. Henry-style gotcha ending, Matheson’s story is perfect for “The Twilight Zone.” But when Kelly reaches that surprise climax from the short story, he’s sadly just getting started.

Diaz and Marsden play Norma and Arthur Lewis, a Virginia couple living a decent life with their young son in 1976. Arthur is a NASA engineer who worked on the Mars Viking landing, while Norma is a private-school teacher with a bad Southern accent that comes and goes and a gimpy foot resulting from medical negligence.

Just as some financial setbacks hit the family, ominous stranger Arlington Steward (Langella, stuck with a horrible facial disfigurement from a lightning strike), turns up with the box, the button and the deal.

The movie then wallows through superficial soul-searching and sermonizing as the Lewises make their choice, graduating from

The Arts

Is the theater in your blood?

Stages St. Louis offers many opportunities

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge Stages St. Louis has something great to offer whether you love theater, want to try your hand at theater or have a child interested in the theater. Broadway quality performances don’t have to cost a fortune nor do you have to travel to Broadway to enjoy musical theater at its best.

Stages St. Louis main offices are located in Chesterfield, but their company performs May through October, presenting 124 performances in the 380-seat Robert G. Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Civic Center, located at 111 South Geyer Road, in Kirkwood, Mo. Performers for these productions are cast from auditions in both St. Louis and New York.

Recently, the 24th season lineup was announced. “Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will run May 28 through June 27, 2010; “Promises, Promises” will run July 16 through Aug. 15, 2010; and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “State Fair” will run Sept. 3 through Oct. 3, 2010.

Season ticket sales will begin on Nov. 30, 2009, with single ticket sales

November 12, 2009

beginning April 5, 2010.

Stages has so much to offer, over and above their spectacular performances. They offer classes and workshops for adults and children at the Stages Performing Arts Academy, which opened in 2004. The academy, located at 444 Chesterfield Center in Chesterfield, across from Chesterfield Mall, offers a year-round comprehensive musical theater curriculum of dance, voice, drama and theory for students of all ages and skill levels. Classes are taught by a team of professional artists and educators.

An all new schedule will be coming out in December for the spring, offering a variety of classes.

A sampling for early childhood age: “Broadway Babies” for ages 3 to 5, introducing the budding star to the fun of musical theatre. “Fairytale Mixup!” for ages 3 to 5 class will focus on using creative drama to explore

the pages of different stories while creating simple props to accompany the action.

Dance classes: “Ballet/Jazz/Tap Combo Class I” for ages 6 to 8, teaching the fundamental dance disciplines for students wanting to learn well-rounded dance training.

“Musical Theatre Dance Styles” for ages 13 and up, and admission by invitation or director’s consent) is training with a professional instructor, studying complex, advanced dance styles and combinations.

Acting: “Imagination Theatre,” for ages 5 to 6 and ages 7 to 8, teaches students to use their imaginations and physicality to re-create stories, both familiar and new, while learning basic elements of theatre. “Acting 1,” ages 9 to 12 and ages 13 to 18, teaching acting to create characters and develop imaginary relationships in a fun, creative environment.

Scouting Workshops, for both Girl and Boy Scouts to provide opportunities to earn performing arts badges or just to have fun featuring comedy improvisation, puppet making, musical theatre and more.

There are classes for all ages, along with private lessons for singing, both in group and individual.

TeamSTAGES is also a great program offered. An elite professionally trained traveling a cappella troupe of teens, ages 1318, perform holiday and Broadway musical revues, which educate and entertain. Auditions are hosted each August.

A number of teen and adult dance, theater and singing classes are also offered, including a fun workout program. Some of the classes run simultaneously with the younger aged classes, so parents can join in while their children are in their classes.

Opportunity abounds at Stages and more can be found about all of their programs, including birthday party plans, by visiting www. stagesstlouis.org or by calling 636530-5959.

The Arts Artistic adventures Edison Theatre to host “Remember Me”

choreography and special effects, Remember Me is at once rock-opera and opera that really rocks.

Next month these two internationally renowned troupes will return to Edison Theatre to present Remember Me as part of the 2009-10 OVATIONS Series.

Performance will begin at 8 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 14, and at 2 p.m.

It’s a timeless tale: two rivalrous brothers vie for the love of a single woman.

The origins of Remember Me date back to 2007, when choreographer David Parsons, founder and artistic director of Parsons Dance, first met the members of EVOC, the Grammynominated ensemble known for its fearlessly modern arrangements of opera’s “greatest hits.”

“We realized that a great deal of artistic synchronicity existed between our companies,” Parsons recalls, “and

we began to discuss the possibility of creating a work together.”

Remember Me opens with the overture from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, though the show’s contemporary sensibility is tipped by a riff drawn from The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” (a subtle reference to Ross, who was handpicked by Pete Townsend to sing the title role in the Canadian premiere of The Who’s Tommy). Ross and Milazzo then serve as both vocalists and narrators to the unfolding story, with numbers ranging from the

Spanish-flavored “Habenera” from George Bizet’s Carmen to a power ballad version of “When I Am Laid In Earth” from Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.

Leading the troupe of 11 dancers is Abby Silva, who plays Maria, the main love interest, along with Miguel Quinones and Zac Hammer as her suitors, the brothers Marcus and Luca. Highlights include Maria’s tortured solo, performed in tandem with Milazzo’s gritty rendition of “Ebben? Ne Andro Lontana,” from Alfredo Catalani’s La Wally.

The Arts Artistic adventures Steven Wright will bring laughs to the Touhill Academy Award-winning, Grammy-nominated comedian, actor and writer Steven Wright will take the stage at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Nov. 14. Show time is 8 p.m. in the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall.

Known for his dry wit and philosophical jokes, Steven Wright is a thinking person’s comedian spewing such one-liners as, “You can’t have everything‌ where would you put it?â€? and “What’s another word for Thesaurus?â€?

It was that now trademark wit that won him the attention of the The Tonight Show’s producer and earned him his first appearance in 1982. He so impressed host Johnny Carson and the studio audience that Wright was brought back less than a week later. And he soon became a regular guest on the late-night talk show circuit.  Wright quickly expanded his comedy to include albums, film and other television appearances. His 1985 debut album, I have a Pony, earned him a Grammy nomination and his HBO short film The Appointments of Dennis Jennings won a 1989 Academy Award for best short film. His off-center style also won him roles in 18 films, including “Desperately Seeking Susan,� Mixed Nuts,� “So I Married An Axe Murderer,� and other memorable parts including the unseen radio voice in Reservoir Dogs and a psychiatrist in Natural Born Killesr.

In 2006, he produced his first stand-up special in 16 years, Steven Wright: When the Leaves Blow Away, originally airing on Comedy Central. The next year Wright released a CD of the material from that special, aptly titled I Still Have a Pony. It was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

In 2008, he was honored as the first inductee into The Boston Comedy Hall of Fame. The ceremony included performances by such legendary Boston comedians as Tony V, Done Gavin, Lenny Clarke, Mike Donovan and Fran Solomita.

Tickets for Steven Wright are $75 (Gold Circle), $45 and $30. They are available now at the Touhill Performing Arts Center Ticket Office; online at www.touhill.org; or by phone at 314.516.4949. The Touhill’s Ticket Office is located at One University Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 63121. All St. Louis area students receive a 10% discount on two tickets with their I.D. Group and senior discounts are also available.  The Touhill Performing Arts Center is located on the north campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, just 10 minutes from Clayton. (Exit #240 from I-70). There is ample free parking, and the UMSL North Campus MetroLink Station is just steps from the Touhill’s main entrance.

a n i l a t a C a t n a S The legacy of the Wrigley chewing gum family In 1919 William Wrigley purchased Santa Catalina Island 22 miles off the coast of California. Wrigley and his wife Ada shared a vision that it should be a..” playground for all, rich or poor youth or aged, All classes mixed with democratic spirit.”

In 1975, 86 percent of the island was deeded to the Santa Catalina Conservancy to preserve and protect the natural environment future generations. USC, Santa Catalina Island Company and individuals own the remaining portions of the

The prices for hotels and restaurants have become more expensive with time. This is consistent with the uniqueness of this destination and the remote access via ferry, barge or private plane and helicopter. Most Hotels run between $200 and $400 a night and moderate dinners at least $30 to $40 a head with a glass of wine. Vacation weekly and monthly rentals are available as well as campgrounds.

winery which can also be toured But, for the hardy a real value is a Conservancy sponsored volunteer vacation. “Voluntourism” is the new economy travel method. These one and two week programs are for all age groups and families throughout the year. These are functional hands on educational experiences for the individual who wants to learn about the local plants and animals. Projects include beach clean up, planting, fence building and other efforts as required.

On the far side of the harbor entrance is the famous Casino, or gathering place, built in 1924 to house swing bands and their radio broadcasts. It now a concert venue and the lower level the only movie theater on the Island.

During the ‘20s and ‘30s the island was a playground for Hollywood celebrities and the filming location for many movies, including “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Clark Gable and “The Glass Bottom Boat” with Doris Day. Glass Bottom Boat Tours of Lover’s Cove are still conducted daily.

D u r i n g Wo r l d Wa r I I , t h e Merchant Marine and the OSS had training facilities (very secret) on the island. Before and after the war, between 1921 and 1951, the Chicago Cubs had spring camp on the island. The William Wrigley Oceanographic Institute run by USC is located in Two Harbors and ranks second in marine research in the U.S. only behind Woods Hole in Massachusetts.

The history of the island with fascinating pictures and other surprising moments are documented in the Catalina Island Museum behind the Casino. An events calendar allows your visit to coincide with specialized activities like the annual “Jazz Trax Festival,” The Concervancy Ball or the Scuba Dive and Harbor Cleanup. This last activity also gives you the treasure hunting opportunity to find Lisa Marie Presley’s engagement ring from Nicholas Cage that she threw overboard during an altercation on their yacht.

Travel Travel briefs High Museum acquires 300 new works of art, including collection’s first Renoir paintings ATLANTA (AP) — The High M u s e u m o f A r t h a s a c q u i re d 300 ne w w o r k s , i n c l u d i n g t h e museum’s first paintings by Pierre Auguste Renoir.

The Atlanta museum’s collection will now include “ Wo m a n A r r a n g i n g H e r Hat” and “Still-Life with Apples,” both painted by the impressionist around 1890. Both paintings are already on display.

Other acquisitions not on view yet include a painting by f o l k a r t i s t Wi l l i a m H a w k i n s , a woodcut self-portrait by modern artist Chuck Close and a sculpture by Rodin.

The High has more than 11 , 0 0 0 w o r k s o f a r t i n i t s permanent collection, including an extensive exhibition of 19thand 20th-century American art and a growing collection of African art. The museum more than doubled its display space in 2005 by opening three new b u i l d i n g s b y a rc h i t e c t R e n z o Piano.

New York’s El Museo del Barrio reopens with Latin American show NEW YORK (AP) — Galleries at El Museo del Barrio have reopened after an 18-month renovation.

El Museo del Barrio is the Museum Mile’s only institution devoted to Latino art.

The museum’s facilities have been reconfigured to include space for its permanent collection, a cafe, a new glass facade and a redesigned 4,500square-foot courtyard. It is marking its 40th anniversary this year with public programming, events and performances.

The reopening included the launch of an exhibition entitled “Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis.” The show explores connections between Latino and non-Latino artists working in New York in the early 20th century, and how their exchanges and crossinfluences impacted avant-garde art movements. The exhibition includes more than 200 works by artists from Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, as well as U.S. and European artists working in New York.

The show will be on view through Feb. 28.

The museum is located at 1230 Fifth Ave. between 104th and 105th Street. Manhattan’s Museum Mile starts at 82nd Street with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Other museums on that stretch of Fifth Avenue include the Neue Galerie New York, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the Guggenheim and the Cooper Hewitt.

Study: Yosemite bears prefer breaking into minivans over other cars YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — What’s bigger than a picnic basket and even better than one in the eyes of black bears that call Yosemite National Park home?

Minivans driven by families with children who leave behind a trail of spilled juice boxes, Cheerios and coolers carrying other snacks, according to a study published in October in the Journal of Mammalogy.

Park scientists set out to study whether the bears had developed a taste for certain vehicle models after

noticing that more minivans seemed to get broken into than other types of cars.

Their research proved them right: minivans represented 29 percent of the 908 vehicles torn into by bears between 2001 and 2007, even though they made up just 7 percent of the cars that visited Yosemite.

Cayman Islands getting ready for Pirates Week NEW YORK (AP) — The Cayman Islands are hosting their 32nd annual Pirates Week Festival, Nov. 1222, with music, street dances, food festivals, costumes, games and more in Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac.

The event includes a mock pirate invasion Nov. 14 when old-time sailing vessels loaded with costumed actors land ashore to take over Grand Cayman’s George Town Harbor.

Other events include a 10K run, a pirate costume competition, swim meets, dart tournament, artists’ exhibition, cardboard boat race, fireworks display, underwater treasure hunt, children’s fair, turtle release, teen disco and song contest.

Life’s take on ’Wonders of the World’ NEW YORK (AP) — There were seven wonders in the ancient world, and contests have been held to identify manmade and natural wonders of the modern world. Now a new book, “Life Wonders of the World,” offers another take on the concept, profiling 50 wonders in six categories.

The book includes the original seven wonders, only one of which, the Great Pyramids of Giza, still exists; the seven manmade wonders that won the New 7 Wonders contest held in 2007, plus the contest’s seven runnersup; 14 modern manmade wonders, like the Chunnel, along with 14 more natural wonders, like the Amazon.

A final natural phenomenon rounds out the wonder list: the Northern and Southern Lights.

The coffee-table hardcover book ($29.95) comes with a unique feature: Seven detachable stand-alone 8-by10 prints, suitable for framing. Once the photo is removed from the book, a copy of it remains underneath, keeping the page intact.

DINOSAURS New exhibit will roar into the Science Center

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!! That is the sound you will hear when you walk back in time to a forgotten land of “Dinosaurs Unearthed” at the St. Louis Science Center, the largest dinosaur exhibition to ever come to St. Louis.

Every kid, and adult too, will be in awe of the amazing 20 life-sized dinosaurs, some that are animatronic, that will be on display in the prehistoric habitat. “Walking into ‘Dinosaurs Unearthed’ is like stepping back in time,” said Brad Nuccio, Senior Vice President of the Science Center. “The impressive life-

like replicas of the dinosaurs in their environment paired with the most current scientific theories and information make it an incredible entertainment and educational experience.”

Greeting visitors on the “front yard” of the center is a 57-foot long Apatosaurus. The huge “lawn ornament” welcomes visitors and gives a little taste of the exhibition that is inside the Exploradome.

The exhibition highlights the latest theories in paleontology. Scientists are now accepting the theory that many dinosaurs were covered in feathers, not just reptile-like skin. The life-size models have been handcarved, with thousands of down-like feathers also placed by hand.

Not only can visitors be amazed at these prehistoric creations, but they can also take hold of the controls of several of the animatronic dinosaurs, such as the baby Stegosaurus, Baryonyx, Parasaurolophus and the Allosaurus to help bring their movements to life. The new technology features the use of electronics, rather than hydraulics, allowing the models to demonstrate some of the most life-like motions.

Five life-size dinosaur skeletons will be on display, including a towering 62-foot long Omeisaurus. An exact

Family Focus Keeping an eye on presidential pooches WASHINGTON (AP) — Dale Haney is the keeper of the White House grounds. In nearly 40 years of keeping the grass green and the flowers blooming, he’s also managed to cultivate something just as important: relationships with the presidents’ pooches.

Haney is often spotted walking Bo, the Obama family’s Portuguese water dog. In fact, he’s tended to every White House pup since King Timahoe, Richard Nixon’s Irish setter.

Haney, 57, has been a White House fixture since 1972. After getting a degree in horticulture from Sandhills Community College in Pinehurst, N.C., he continued his training in Washington and basically was discovered for his green thumb, as he tells the story.

“They heard about me and they called me to come over here for an interview and I came and here I still am,” he said during a tour of the gardens one recent rainy morning when first lady Michelle Obama — Bo’s primary walker — was out of town.

That meant Haney would be Bo’s

handler until she returned from a day trip to Florida.

“I have him a little bit more” when she’s traveling, said Haney, who said he’s amazed by the public’s fascination with White House pets.

“Sometimes I think they’re more interested in the pets than the president,” he said. “It’s real amazing.”

Take Bo. Malia and Sasha Obama, now 11 and 8, long had wanted a dog, but were told they’d have to wait until after the presidential election last year. After Obama told the girls on election night that a puppy was coming with them to the White House, it seemed everyone everywhere wanted details — and had an opinion — on what kind of dog the president-to-be should get and where he should get it from.

Before Bo came along to romp on the South Lawn and roam the White House hallways, Haney spent a lot of time walking and playing with President George W. Bush’s Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley.

Haney was most fond of Spot, an English springer spaniel whose

mother, Millie, belonged to Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush.

Haney said several years ago during an online White House chat that Barney and Spot kept the

Dining Delights

Getting organized But don’t be fooled by the spice rack

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge A chore that needs to be accomplished in my own home gave me the idea for this story – kitchen organization. I know it is about that time when pots and pans or their lids tend to topple out when someone opens the cabinet door. Or the cans of soup go rolling across the floor when I take the wrong can out of the strategically stacked can goods pyramid. The absolute worst, however, is finding the right lid to fit that piece of Tupperware that I store my leftovers in. Those lids must be with all the missing socks that I can never find.

Here are some tips from some random resources that will help accomplish some organization before you need to prepare the big holiday meals and party fare.

First, make a list of what you want to do and stick to it, ie: 1. Clean out pantry. 2. Clean refrigerator inside and out. And so on.

Purchase items you will need to complete the job, such as new shelf liner, fresh baking soda for the fridge, plastic or glass see-through containers to store items that need to be gathered in one place, labels to mark items, cleaning products, etc.

Next, take everything out of your kitchen cabinets. If you haven’t used an item in the last two years, get rid of it. Use the opportunity of having empty cabinets to wipe them down, inside and out.

Replace shelf liner if needed.

When replacing items back in cabinets, be strategic. Put items you use for cooking in the cabinets and drawers closest to the stove and oven. Put glasses and glassware on lower shelves to avoid breakage when trying to put away in higher areas.

Put serving dishes, holiday items and items that you don’t regularly use on the higher shelves and in the cabinets furthest from the sink and stove, or in the pantry space that is used the least. You will be amazed how much time you save when you know where things are in your cabinets.

The next task should be emptying the pantry. You will be amazed at the items you find in the back! Clean the shelves and install new shelf paper. Before

November 12, 2009

placing items back in the pantry, check expiration dates of items that have been in there for a while and discard old items. Anything that isn’t expired, but you don’t think you are planning to use, put in a bag and take to your local food pantry. The same rule applies to the pantry as the cabinets. If there are items not used in two years, get rid of it. Donate it, give it away, whatever you decide, but don’t put it back in the pantry.

A suggestion that I read that I don’t agree with is to use a spice rack. The author of the suggestion stated that using a wall mounted or counter top spice rack saves a lot of cabinet space and makes the spices more handy for cooking.

That being said, I have never utilized my spice racks. I have had a couple, some pretty nifty, but I tend to reach in the cabinet and forget to use the spice rack.

The only thing my spice rack was good for was collecting dust. So if you are good at remembering to use a spice rack, go for it! I would suggest to start cheap and then if you find it useful, upgrade.

The next item on the agenda is to clear the counter tops. Take everything off, clean them well and put away anything that you don’t use on a daily basis. Try to group the appliances together so you can keep your counter space clear for cooking use. It also looks neater. Again, if there is something on the counter you haven’t used for two years, out it goes.

The junk drawer is probably

the worst. My family tends to throw anything that they don’t know what to do with in the the junk drawer or on my desk, but organizing my desk is another article. There are a number of products on the market that help make your junk drawer less “junkie.” Only keep items in there that you really use, and the rest either relocate or pitch. Figure out what doors those spare keys actually go to, label them and hang a key rack. Small plastic zipper bags make great organizers for the loose screws, rubber bands, twist ties, tacks, paper clips, extra batteries, etc.

Clean the refrigerator, inside and out. Check expiration dates o n s a l a d d re s s i n g s , b a r b e c u e sauces, drinks, etc. You would be surprised how long you have had some items in there. Clean off and organize the top. Only keep minimal items on top. If possible, use something decorative to deter people from placing clutter there. Place a fresh box of baking soda with the lid torn off inside to absorb odors. Replace the box about every three months and pour the old one down the drain to take away drain odors.

Finally, take your family on a tour of your completed task.

Familiarize them where the correct place is for items so hopefully, they will put things in the right places. If your family is like mine, it is wishful thinking, but you can’t blame us for continuing to try!

Dining Delights OK, we admit these are our opinions and you certainly should form your own, but it is nice to have a guide of places to eat when you are undecided or want to try something new or different.

To send us a suggestion of a restaurant to try, e-mail theedge@ edwpub.net Buffalo Wild Wings Edwardsville 2 1/2 stars If you like wings, this is a great place for you. Other selections of appetizers, sandwiches and mostly bar fare round out the menu. A little pricey for wings, but if you gotta havem’ you gotta havem’. Service is kind of a toss up. Has been good, has been slow.

47 Port Street Grill Ameristar Casino-St. Charles 5 stars This is a fantastic, fabulous steak house that is a great date night or special group night out. The steaks are perfect, the lobster delectable, the sea bass melts in your mouth, and the fresh pastries are world class. The ambiance is straight out of the “Rat Pack” scene. Amazing wine selections, but any drink available. Prices are a bit steep, but a memorable feast for that special occasion.

Falcon Diner Ameristar Casino-St. Charles 4 stars This top notch diner serves more than typical diner fare and you will not leave hungry. With their “Happy Days” decor and a breakfast, lunch and dinner menue that includes a one pound chicken fried steak and burgers made to order, you will have

to ask for a doggy bag. Their bakery counter is so popular, they had to give it a place of its own outside the diner so passers by can enjoy the magic also.

Bartolino’s Osteria St. Louis 5 stars Italian cuisine at its best. Elegant dining with a decor reminiscent of the glamours ‘40s. Most of the traditional Italian dishes but additional gourmet Italian fare that is fantastic to the pallet. The Linguine Pinoli, includes shrimp, mushrooms, spinach, pine nuts, lemon butter and garlic, is a tasty combination over fresh linguine. The bread is fresh and wonderful. A little pricier than a family restaurant, but well worth the price for a nice date night or special night out.

Boat House Restaurant Forest Park, St. Louis 3 1/2 stars A fun place to dine, whether you are out on a nice spring afternoon or want a great place to eat before a Muny show. Serving brunch ever Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; lunch everyday, dinner Tues. - Sun. starting at 3 p.m. Choose from an array of signature sandwiches, pizzas, appetizers, salads, and more.

There is a kids menu and you can pull up the pooch to the table, inside or outside, as they are pet friendly.

Jump in a paddle boat and take a cruise to work off the good food.

Best Steak House St. Louis St. Louis 1 star Maybe it is the price (very cheap), maybe it is “shouting out” your order, maybe it is just the ambiance

of the noisy, a bit chaotic atmosphere that draws people to Best Steak House, but some of those reasons are exactly why I wouldn’t return.

Not to mention the poor quality of “steak” they serve. Many people love it, so try it for yourself. Right across from the Fox Theatre.

Ruby Tuesdays 2 1/2 stars Collinsville/Fairview Heights Another sports bar themed restaurant with all the memorabilia on the walls, but a good place to eat.

The prices are a little higher than a typical family restaurant. Service is normally pretty good. The Buffalo Burger is a great choice and their salad bar is very fresh and clean.

54th Street Bar and Grill Edwardsville 4 stars Great menu selection, something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable and have not had a bad selection yet. Remember to get your frequent diner card stamped when ordering an entree so you can get one free when your card is full.

Red Robin Edwardsville 2 1/2 stars The bottomless french fries are fantastic, but it basically is a pricey burger place. Service is not super speedy, but food was good and hot.

Good group setting.

broasted chicken, gyros, sandwiches of all kinds, plate specials, fish selections – fried and broiled, and much more. Service is always impeccable and prices can’t be beat.

La Fonda Edwardsville 3 1/2 stars Good food, good service. All you can eat chips and salsa are great complement to their abundant menu. Their rice and beans are excellent also.

Bigelo’s Bistro Edwardsville 4 stars Great menu selection of gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas and more. Great downtown Edwardsville location where you are sure to see someone you know.

Carisillo’s Mexican Restaurant Collinsville 3 1/2 stars A great selection, similar to LaFonda. Good prices and endless chips and salsa. Service is quick and friendly. Not the fanciest, especially on the outside, but don’t judge a Mexican restaurant by its cover!

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 foo-foo for a barbecue place.

The prices are a little more than typical barbecue fare. Good for business lunch or dinner and nice servings.

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!”

Red Apple Maryville 4 stars The Red Apple is another favorite of our family, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is a huge menu selection, including Italian,

Dining Delights Holiday entertaining with an eye on health NEW YORK (AP) – Is it safe to party when swine flu threatens to crash your bash?

It’s a question many revelers may be asking this year as the holiday party season coincides with an anxiety-provoking flu season.

The good news is that while it is true that mingling over punch and canapes can help spread the H1N1 virus, health and entertaining experts say it’s possible to throw a holiday party without making everyone wear surgical masks and hazmat suits.

It’s a question of managing risk. “Party. Party cautiously,� advises Dr. Stephen Morse, professor of epidemiology at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. That means keep things clean, be careful with finger food, forget the punch bowl and maybe even reconsider the mistletoe.

And remember to have fun. “Just like we say with terrorists, you really don’t want to let the flu win,� said Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease physician at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

Swine flu is spread mainly through coughing or sneezing, though people also can be infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. So basic commonsense rules apply for parties.

Do not throw a party or attend a party if you have a fever, cough or other flu symptoms. Keep your hands clean. Cough and sneeze into your elbow. Take steps to make sure guests do the same. Party planners suggest placing bottles of hand sanitizer and tissues in plain view to send a subtle signal. “Obviously, the nature of parties is all about mixing and mingling, and that’s about the opposite of what people tell you to do as far as the flu season,� said Jennifer Sbranti, founder and editor-in-chief of hostesswiththemostess.com. “But it’s really all about taking some precautions.�

For party food, think single servings.

Avoid offering chips, candies, nuts or any food in big, open bowls that people could reach their potentially contaminated hands into.

Instead, consider serving individual portions of hors d’oeuvres such as peanuts or cheese cubes on little pleated paper cups or small appetizer plates, said Denise Vivaldo, author of “The Entertaining Encyclopedia: Essential Tips for Hosting the Perfect Party.�

Sbranti suggests serving crudite in little glass votive candle holders, salads in tiny Chinese food-style takeout containers or even french fries in paper snow cone cups.

Culinarymedianetwork.com chief executive officer Jennifer Iannolo said soup can be served in espresso cups and desserts in ramekins. “I would recommend having fun with it,� said Iannolo.

November 12, 2009

Covered food is better. Sbranti said hosts might want to plate and serve the food instead of laying out a buffet.

Either way, consider leaving the punch bowl in the china closet.

Dipping used cups into a communal bowl is never a great idea, flu season or no. Ladles lessen risk, but punch bowls still offer a large surface area for germs to land on.

Doron suggests serving drinks from narrow-necked bottles. Sbranti recommends beverage dispensers with lids and side spouts.

Make sure your guests can keep track of their drink glasses. Party supply stores offer everything from wine charms to hook around glass stems to stretchable colored bands that fit around beer bottles. “Probably the greater danger is

people getting together when they talk to each other,� Morse said. “If someone has the flu, they will undoubtedly through close contact give it to others far more than food.

Though you obviously want to be careful.�

Maybe the hardest party trick for a host during flu season is simultaneously taking health precautions and making guests feel welcome.

Potential problems start at hello.

Doron suggests avoiding handshakes and maybe opting for a friendly elbow bump instead.

Anna Post, an etiquette expert at the Emily Post Institute, said that guests who are leery of shaking hands can offer polite words instead, something like: “Excuse me for not shaking hands, but it’s great

to meet you.� The same approach can be taken to avoid a peck on the cheek.

As for mistletoe, a kiss on the lips likely presents a higher risk for virus transmission than mere cheek kissing. Though Morse notes, “I think someone you’re willing to kiss on the lips is someone you’re willing to take a chance with the flu.�

Hosts could head off some problems by adding a sentence to invitations asking that people exhibiting signs of being contagious to refrain from attending, says D o ro n . B u t P o s t l o o k s a t i t differently, saying people should trust their guests to make the right decisions. “If you’re really that concerned about being sick,� Post said, “you

probably shouldn’t be throwing a party.�

Keeping your holiday buffet healthy doesn’t doom you to celery stalks and carrot sticks. There are plenty of options that are indulgent without leaving your guests feeling buffet-grazing remorse.

Healthy dips such as hummus are great, but even sinful choices like a creamy blue cheese dip can be made better by avoiding the chips and serving them with veggie sticks.

Fresh fruit is also filling and appealing, especially when you pair it with a little bit of something that’s rich or salty (or both). The classics are generous wedges of melon wrapped in prosciutto and slices of fresh pear topped with a sliver of stilton cheese.
