SIUE Friends of Music plan 2010 Renaissance Madrigal Dinner

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge The Southern Illinois University Friends of Music is presenting the 2010 Renaissance Madrigal Dinner. This year’s event is being hosted at the Sunset Hills Country Club on Thursday, Dec. 2, beginning at 7 p.m.

The wonderful signing talents of the SIUE Madrigal Singers and Concert Choir will be serenading diners as they enjoy a five course feast, “fit for a king.” The food will be prepared by the Sunset Hills Country Club.

This is the second year the Friends of Music has sponsored the dinner, yet the dinner performance has been an annual event since 2000.

If you have previously attended, don’t

November 18, 2010

shy away from attending again, as the new location and new features in the performances are sure to create an all new experience for guests.

“It is a magical evening, filled with fun, good food and great music,” said Joel Knapp, Director of Choral Activities at SIUE. “Our featured work this year is ‘A Day for Dancing’ by Lloyd Pfautzch, which includes flute, viola, cello and percussion.

Our Madrigal Dinner is a great way to kick off the holiday season,” said Knapp.

Approximately 40 students make up the Madrigal performers and are sure to provide a wonderful evening of entertainment that will even include some audience participation. Other performances will include “Wassail,” “Royal Puller of the Leg,” “12 Days of Christmas,” and “All for Me

Grog.”

Greg Conroy, Director of SIUE Public Affairs, is looking forward to this year ’s event and the new twists that are planned.

“I can tell you the event includes beautiful madrigals sung by talented SIUE music students, along with musical games with some audience interaction, and a festive five-course feast,” said Conroy.

Tickets are now available for the event.

They are $65 and include a $25 gift donation that is used to provide scholarships for talented music students at SIUE. This gift donation is considered a tax deductible contribution.

The five course feast menu includes: Butternut Squash Soup, Wassail (hot spiced cider), Chicken Supreme (8 ounce chicken with mushroom cream sauce), Green Beans

with Bacon, Oven Roasted Potatoes and Flambe’ Cherries Jubilee.

Start your holiday season off with a wonderful performance to put you in the mood and also help benefit a very good cause.

The Sunset Hills Country Club is located at 2525 Highway 157 South in Edwardsville.

A lifetime of giving brings reward

By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge he does for the church and the community,” Hengehold said in describing Lammert.

Two examples popped quickly to mind for Hengehold, who also introduced Lammert at the induction ceremony.

“The state of Illinois (K. of C.) does an annual Tootsie Roll drive (for the intellectually disabled). He’s always there, working an hour or two each day,” Hengehold said. “We do an annual Christmas party for children. He’s one of the chaperones that takes a child to the store and helps them buy gifts for their family and friends.”

Lammert said his charitable acts are a simple reflection on Edwardsville Council 1143.

“This council is the most charitable council I’ve ever been in,” he said. “They do so much charity work and the hours that members put in is just outstanding.”

But giving is the Knights of Columbus’ calling card, Lammert said, and the worldwide organization does whatever it can to help.

“Whenever there’s a world-wide crisis, the most recent would be the Haiti earthquake, the Supreme Council from New Haven came to all the councils and asked for special donations. We raised something like close to a million dollars, all the councils throughout the United States and other parts of the world,” Lammert said. “We go to the forefront so many times. We have a collection at each meeting and it’s for a disaster fund. A bucket comes around, you put your money in – loose change, a dollar or so. That’s more for local disasters.”

Lammert said helping those in need is, quite simply, the Christian way to live – a way he likes to live.

“The Knights realize, regardless of what religion or denomination they are, they are children of God. And that’s what we’re put on earth for – to give our talents and assistance be it in physical hours or monetary contributions,” Lammert said.

Springfield Diocese Bishop Thomas John Paprocki presided over the induction ceremony at which Lammert received a plaque and a medal as tangible proof of his honor.

Lammert said Paprocki brings a freshness to the diocese.

“The bishop we have now is so personable.

He mixes in with people and the youth well,” Lammert said. “He’s there for all ages of the people. He’s a real leader of people.”

Lammert was also grateful to have Heneghold on stage with him.

“I was glad I had a presenter. That meant I only had to talk for two minutes,” Lammert said. “Jerry did an outstanding job in presenting me.”

But Lammert says good people abound in the K. of C. and one of them had an impact on him almost 50 years ago.

“I joined the Knights of Columbus in 1961.

The best man in our wedding, Earl Smith, was a member. He influenced me to join,” Lammert said. “Earl was a very pious Catholic. Earl was a lawyer and he was always giving of himself, particularly to the poor people. I had such an admiration for him, that’s the reason why I joined. He told me how much the Knights of Columbus meant to him and what good works

Edwardsville resident Bob Lammert displays the medal and plaque he received for being inducted into the Springfield Diocesan Chapter of the Knights of Columbus Hall of Fame. they did.”

Lammert said he would do the same for anyone interested in joining the K. of C. “I would tell them everything that we do and how the Knights of Columbus has made me a better person and enriched my life,” he said.

According to the biography distributed at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Lammert has spent the last several years as co-chair of the council’s annual golf tournament and was appointed one of the first Lay Eucharistic Ministers in the Belleville Diocese in 1971.

At St. Boniface, Lammert requested to take communion to nursing homes and shut-ins, a practice that has now been in place for more than 30 years, and he was asked to start a committee to establish a St. Vincent de Paul Society at the parish.

Lammert is also well known as the onetime owner of the Miracle-Ear hearing aid franchise in Fairview Heights.

It was in this position that the former

accountant learned through his daughter and son-in-law of the need for hearing loss services in northern Mexico.

That revelation led Lammert to create the Labor of Love Association, a non-profit organization that provides treatment and equipment to disadvantaged children with hearing or other problems in northern Mexico.

Over the years, Lammert has made four trips to Mexico where he personally checked children’s hearing and helped them secure proper hearing aids.

The Knights of Columbus Council has supported the Labor of Love Association over the years.

Lammert, a former accountant, and his wife, Shirley, have four children and four grandchildren.

That’s his first family. He has another.

“The Knights of Columbus has been a family to me,” he said. “I’ve never been in

an organization that was so full of love and charity as the Knights of Columbus.”

••• With his induction into the Springfield Diocesan Chapter of the Knights of Columbus Hall of Fame behind him, Lammert is moving on to the next project.

He’s in the process of collecting used hearing aids to salvage spare parts and raise funds for the La Gaviotta School, which serves disabled children in northern Mexico.

The goal is to develop an inventory of parts so extensive that any hearing aid can be fixed immediately and returned to its user.

Lammert said the recession hit Mexico just as hard as it hit the United States and the disadvantage are suffering.

To that end, he’s asking anyone with a used hearing aid or anyone willing to make a financial contributing to mail them to: Labor of Love Association c/o Ed Whetten, P.O. Box 1302, Columbus, N.M., 88029.

People People planner Alton prepares for Christmas Wonderland The Grandpa Gang has been at it again hanging lights in Alton’s Rock Spring Park and counting down to the opening day of Christmas Wonderland. More than 2.5 million lights will twinkle against the beautiful backdrop of Rock Spring Park, lighting the way toward another illuminating holiday season beginning Friday, November 26, 2010. Back for another year, the annual light display not only warms the hearts of family and friends enjoying a ride through the park, but more than 40 nonprofit organizations benefited last year from proceeds raised from admission to the park. Christmas Wonderland will be open nightly November 26 through December 26, 2010. The park is located at 2100 College Ave, in Alton, Il. Hours are Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The “Grandpa Gang,” a group of retirees and volunteers, organizes and designs the Christmas spectacular of cascading lights, tunnels and displays known as Christmas Wonderland. Each evening, the park sparkles against the night sky with millions of glistening lights, all hung by volunteers and the “gang.”

Christmas Wonderland warms the hearts and helps families and friends capture the holiday spirit. Each year, the Grandpa Gang takes time to give back to the community with a portion of the attraction’s seasonal revenue donated to local charities. In 2009, the Grandpa Gang awarded 47 grants to local organizations, totaling more than $25,000.

Every night from November 26 through December 26 visitors can turn off their headlights and let the holiday displays carry them through

Have you been naughty or nice this year? Santa will be ready nightly to hear your Christmas list. Pictures with Santa are $5, or you can bring your own camera for a free photo.

The suggested donation is $7 for cars and small vans or $1 per person for vehicles holding more than 10 people. For more information on Christmas Wonderland, call 1-800-2586645 or go to www.VisitAlton.com.

Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 207 Vandalia, Collinsville, IL. The goal of the event is to inspire and educate people to become the “best version of themselves” by teaching them how to practically apply the genius of Catholicism to every aspect of their lives including: work, marriage, personal finances, prayer and spirituality, dating, health and well-being, parenting and community involvement. The interactive workshop will feature a mixture of music, praise and worship as well as sessions about prayer and Scripture study.

Kelly has spoken to over three million people. He has written13 books which have appeared on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists and been published in 25 languages. Kelly currently has four of the top 10 best--selling Catholic books. “In my travels, I see a lot of people just surviving, not thriving,” says Kelly. The people I see thriving have one thing in common--they have a passion and they know their purpose. This event invites people to stop and take a look at who we are, where we are and what we are doing.”

In addition to his spiritual ministry, Kelly is also a partner at Floyd Consulting, a Chicago based management consulting firm. His clients include: Pepsi, Proctor and Gamble, McDonalds, USBank, 3M, Ernst & Young, HSBC, the Department of Defense, the U.S Navy, the U.S. Air Force and more than 35 other Fortune 500 companies.

Kelly’s core message, regardless of whether he is addressing CEOs, high school students or faith communities, invites listeners to become the-best-version-ofthemselves.

Feedback from participants at events held earlier this fall has been overwhelmingly positive.

Comments include: “The event was incredible-generated lots of energy and excitement to take action!”

Music

Tommy and the High Pilots Rock quartet to perform at The Firebird

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

M

any have the dream of being in a band, hearing people scream their name, watching people sing along to their songs, not to mention becoming rich and famous.

Well, that doesn’t happen for most bands, and in fact few performers have the stomach to stick it out for the long haul until the right ears hear their music and signs their band.

This has been the test for performer Tom Cantillon, when in 2007 his band, Holden, unexpectedly split after playing together for five years. Cantillon was in a tail spin, not sure where to turn, and turned himself all the way from Santa Barbara, Calif., to New York City.

He spent the next year regrouping, writing songs and getting used to his new surroundings.

“I was somewhat lost, only in the sense that I wasn’t sure which direction to head with my music,” said Cantillon. “New York was such a different world, being from the beach in Santa Barbara, that I naturally had a change of influence if only by the change in scenery and culture.”

His sense of displacement didn’t last long when

November 18, 2010

longtime friend and fellow Santa Barbarian Steve Libby (bassist), Cantillon’s younger brother Michael (electrics, acoustics and keyboards) and another California transplant, Matt Palermo (drums), came into the musical picture. Fast forward a bit and Tommy and The High Pilots were born.

Their credo was simple, a group of friends who want to play music together and do it well. With that thought in place, the group immediately went to work.

In 2008, they put out their debut album “Everynight,” which they produced themselves. Two years later came “American Riviera,” a six song record that presented a unique set of challenges for the new group. “We have dozens of songs to pick from whenever we enter the studio,” Cantillon said. “The hard part is finding the songs everybody agrees on.”

Cantillon feels that is a good problem to have, as it encourages him to keep writing. He knows though that the ones they all agreed upon are right for the group.

“I think we nailed it. We love a good challenge,” said Cantillon.

Although writing is one of Cantillon’s loves, the experience of performing their music for their fans is what the band loves to do. Performing on stage ties them all together.

With two albums to their name, dozens of songs in

the “hopper” and even more to be written, Tommy and The High Pilots feel they are just getting started. As is often the case in life, adversity leads to opportunity and they are taking advantage of that. “Learning from the past is huge for us,” said Cantillon. “We know what has worked so far and what maybe didn’t work too well. We get to draw from that and, in the long run, that will be very beneficial.”

The foursome is moving ahead and not looking back.

They have a full touring schedule for the year and they are not slowing down anytime soon.

The band’s camaraderie and brotherhood has grown only stronger and is showing up in the studio and on the stage.

The group is now touring alongside the St. Louis rockers Ludo and is scheduled to appear at The Firebird on Sunday, Dec. 5, with the show kicking off at 7:30 p.m. The show is open to all ages and tickets are $8.

The Firebird is located at 2706 Olive Street in downtown St. Louis, Mo. For more information about Tommy and The High Pilots, visit www.thehighpilots.com or facebook.com/ thehighpilots.

Music Tuning in Pluck will commit Musical Arson What happens when great classical music falls into the hands of complete, if talented, idiots?

Find out when Pluck, the world’s funniest string trio, descends upon Washington University’s Edison Theatre with Musical Arson, a slapstick spoof of concert hall decorum.

Sponsored by the Edison Ovations Series, the one-night-only performance begins at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19. Tickets are $35; $30 seniors; $25 for Washington University faculty and staff; and $20 for students and children.

In addition, Pluck will present a special all-ages matinee at 11 a.m.

Saturday, Nov. 20, as part of the ovations for young people series. Tickets are $12.

Tickets are available at the Edison Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd. For more information, call (314) 935-6543 or e-mail edison@wustl.edu.

Musical Arson Musical Arson is, first and foremost, a concert. Three classically trained musicians — cellist Flora Allison, violinst Kit Massey and violist Jon Regan — take the stage and, with impeccable musicianship, perform favorite works ranging from Bach to the Beatles.

Yet the musicianship is the only thing impeccable about this bickering trio, whose self-absorbed antics rival those of any diva. Combining gleeful absurdist humor with outrageous physical comedy, they compete, argue, scheme, ridicule, dance fight and seduce there way through Brahms, Ravel, Vivaldi and more.

The Washington Post describes Pluck as “clown school invades the symphony,” while the Washington Times adds that, “If the Marx Brothers had gone to Juilliard, this might have been the type of show they would have put on.”

Pluck Pluck was formed in 2002 when Regan and freelance cellist Sian Kadifachi joined Adrian Garratt, a violinist who’d spent years staging innovative street performances, for a show at the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Bar in London.

The reception was positive and the following year Pluck took its act to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, selling out two weeks of performances and winning the prestigious Tap Water Award for Cabaret.

Working with directors John Fealey and Toby Sedgwick, the group developed Musical Arson and toured throughout Europe before returning to the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe, this time winning the Spirit of the Fringe Award.

Subsequent shows have included The Specialists, which adds angels, fireworks and cannons to an already unstable mix; and The Titanic Show, a tribute to those doomed musicians who famously played to the bitter end.

Both evenings were developed with director Cal McCrystal, who previously worked with celebrated troupes Cirque du Soleil, Spymonkey and The Mighty Boosh.

Subsequent tours have taken Pluck to Australia, Malaysia, Finland, the United States, South Korea, Singapore and throughout the United Kingdom.

Today Pluck consists of Regan and Massey, who replaced Garratt in 2009, with Kadifachi — recently returned from a year’s maternity leave — splitting cello duties with Allison.

Music of the Baroque expands season Music of the Baroque has expanded its season to include two more performances for the upcoming 2010–11 concert season. The season, Music of the Baroque’s 40th, opens September 26 with Purcell’s Dido and Aenaes and runs through May 23.

In the first significant expansion of the concert season in more than a decade, in 2010–11 Music of the Baroque will present 19 performances of eight concert programs. All programs except the ensemble’s traditional holiday brass and choral concerts will be presented at the 1500-seat Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago.

The season also includes six performances at 900-seat First United Methodist Church in Evanston and Music of the Baroque’s début at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. Holiday concerts will be offered at St. Michael’s Church in Chicago, Grace Lutheran Church in River Forest, and Divine Word Chapel in Northbrook.

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio to be heard in December Jane Glover returns in early December to lead the Music of the Baroque orchestra, chorus, and soloists in the ensemble’s first performances in more than two decades of Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental Christmas Oratorio. Scottish tenor Paul Agnew, whom the Chicago Tribune called “simply miraculous” in his appearance with Music of the Baroque in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, will sing as Evangelist and tenor soloist in these concerts. Soprano Lisa Saffer and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Rivera, both making their débuts with the ensemble, and baritone Sanford Sylvan will also be heard. Performances of the Christmas Oratorio are Sunday evening, December 5, at First United Methodist Church in Evanston, and Tuesday evening, December 7, at the Harris Theater.

Religion Some relationships need restoring About a week or so ago as I sat reading my morning devotion, I found myself smiling at the writer’s description of how discouraged the family was by the lack of interest of the birds in the feeder they had hung on a tree near a garden.

She remarked that the tree was causing a problem and her husband decided it had to be removed.

So, down came the feeder and she thought that’s the end of this venture into the realm of bird feeding.

She reluctantly hung the feeder somewhere else and forgot all about it and many weeks later was surprised to find that the bird’s loved the new location.

If you are wondering why I found that amusing is because honestly, “I’ve been there and done that.”

The author related the story and concluded that sometimes ‘all it needs is a small move in the right direction.”

I’m sure that we have all come to the same conclusion…perhaps not about bird feeders but about relationships and other opportunities that often arise in our lives.

Perhaps there has been a disagreement and both parties have decided to hold their ground and no one is willing to give an inch.

What happens? Nothing. The individuals seem to be willing to forfeit a relationship rather than

‘budge’. Wouldn’t a ‘small move’ in the right direction perhaps open a conversation that might restore a broken friendship?

Maybe we are unhappy with our work and prefer to complain and gripe about the unfairness and partiality shown in the workplace. I wish I knew how to resolve that issue but sometimes a change in attitude results in all around change. Maybe not, but it could be worth a try. A belligerent attack achieves little; however the ability to explain a problem in a positive manner sometimes results in change. Just a small move in the right direction brings change.

Arguments occur in our homes, our workplace, even our churches.

That’s life. As I sit and write this, I realize that tomorrow will be Election Day and one result will be a break from the constant negative

Doris Gvillo

ads that have been bombarding us on television and radio. Not to mention the many, many mailings I have received. I will say I’ll be glad when the election is over and simply pray that something constructive results. But I realize how blessed I am to live in a country where we do have freedom to choose those who head our government.

When people in any venue decide there is only one way to view a problem and there is no room for compromise, bitterness, anger, and dissension rule. Just a small move in the right direction, a willingness to share thoughts and opinions with an open mind, and perhaps change will occur.

I think of two small children fighting over a toy. They pull, they push, and they cry and all can see their anger and frustration. But

suddenly a solution is found and they are playing happily together again. They may not realize exactly what happened, but something changed and with the change came the ability to ‘share’ and be happy.

The walls we build when we are angry or frustrated don’t allow for change. They are a dam that holds back any chance for a peaceful resolution. No one wants to make even a ‘small move’ to resolve the issue.

All the many letters to the various churches that comprise much of our New Testament offer advice to the early Christians. As I was looking up some verses, I found one in Thessalonians that offered hope to me and encouraged me to make that small move in times

when there is a seemingly large and unmovable barrier that seems to destroy a chance to restore a broken relationship.

The writer is telling those early church members that they have been treated as a father treats their own children. And it says, “We encouraged you, we comforted you, and we kept urging you to live the kind of life that pleases God.” So I guess in closing, I’ll ask the question, “If we are honestly and sincerely trying to live the kind of life that God would have us live, doesn’t that require us to make a small move in the right direction to restore a relationship?

Travel

Iguazu Falls Experiencing the wonder

By CLAUDIA PEROZZI For The Edge Editor’s note: This is the fifth article of a six-part series from former Glen Carbon residents Bill and Claudia Perozzi. The Perozzis are fortunate to have traveled to some of the most exotic places in the world.

Let’s see a show of hands for how many have heard of Iguazu Falls.

Now keep your hand up if you’ve actually seen the falls. It’s really amazing how few people in the United States have heard of Iguazu Falls and how even fewer have seen them. People from all over the world travel to South America to see these largest waterfalls on the planet but only a relatively small number are from the states.

My husband Bill and I had seen Niagara Falls and loved them.

Iguazu Falls are four times larger.

As soon as I heard about them, they went on my bucket list. What makes seeing them somewhat challenging is that they are inland on the boarder between Argentina and Brazil but not close to any major city. Bill spent days on the Internet trying to include the falls in our itinerary and his perseverance paid off. He was finally able to book flights for us on the Argentinean national carrier LAN from Buenos Aires to the town of Iguazu.

When we arrived at the airport we talked with a tour guide who kept saying, “Trust me,” which somehow made it harder to trust him. But we followed his suggestions and he helped us arrange an ideal package for us. For about $40 he started us off with our own taxi driver Ramon who would get us cleared at the boarder as we verified that we already had our visas for Brazil, a complicated procedure which must

November 18, 2010

be done before traveling. Then he took us to our hotel, Bella Italia, on the Brazilian side which Bill had already booked on the Internet.

Since we wanted to take a helicopter ride, which is on the Brazilian side, Ramon next took us to the only heliport where we had to pay almost $100 each for the ride.

We didn’t have to wait long for our turn to see the falls from above. In the helicopter we followed a wavy blue ribbon of the Iguazu River meandering through seemingly flat green land.

And then we saw an explosion of white water as the river broke over the crest of the falls. The water spray looked like steam as it billowed up.

We looked down on the white water tumbling through multi-shaded green shoulders and boulders. Falls circled around in crescent shapes and cascaded from one level to another. But we really only got a very high bird’s eye view of the falls as our copter had to maintain a certain height that restricted how close it could get.

The best way to see the falls is to walk among them. Our driver took us to the Brazilian Park where we bought very reasonable tickets for a bus ride to the tourist pathway.

Ramon knew about how long our trek would take and he said he would be waiting for us when we finished.

Bill and I both felt very invigorated as we followed the first path out to the lower falls. We could hear them before we saw them as they thundered down and we could feel the refreshing spray as we neared the first lookout point.

“Wow” must be a word universally used. We said it over and over and so did all those around us.

The torrent is so big, so billowing, so powerful and just really so

Photos by Bill and Claudia Perozzi

Above and below are two views of Iguazu Falls. breathtaking! The lush greenery in the foliage makes the setting spectacular. It’s not possible to see all of the falls at once from the ground and maybe that’s a good thing because every view is so overpowering. All together there are 275 falls within the system which resulted from a volcanic eruption.

Leave it to Mother Nature to take a bad thing and turn it into something beyond beautiful.

The park is laid out to let visitors not only see and hear the falls but to feel a part of them. Walkways, a series of platforms on stilts with railings all around, are marvels of construction and took us all the way into the falls at three levels. As the waters cascaded and mingled, we mingled with tourists from all over the world. We heard more different languages than we could distinguish coming from people of all ages. We took photos of each other and all smiled as we shared these amazing views of natural fountains.

When we reached the top level we could see the crest at eye level. The power nearly bowled us over. We took an elevator up to the highest observation point for a magnificent overview of the water breaking over the edge. Here we also found a small gift shop with fairly reasonable mementoes. I just had to get a t-shirt. There was also a patio with refreshments for sale. Creepy raccoons with noses like anteaters joined the tourists and tried to take food any way they could. Mother Nature didn’t make everything beautiful but this is their home and we were just visitors.

On our first day at the falls we started at the bottom on our own on the Brazilian side and walked up.

But on our second day we started at the top as part of a tour group on the Argentinean side and walked down.

Our guide could speak Spanish and English. As it turned out the only

other English speaking couple was from Sweden. The four of us noticed that the guide would talk with most of the group in Spanish for say fifteen minutes and then she would take a few minutes to fill us in. We felt gypped but at least we enjoyed chatting with people from a place we hadn’t yet visited.

The Swedish woman was nervous about the boat ride we would take through several water falls at the end of the tour. “Aren’t you afraid?” she asked me and I could honestly say, “No, we rode through falls at Niagara and we were fine.” “But we will all get soaked,” Bill warned.

We finally wended our way down to the boat dock, donned flimsy plastic ponchos, and piled into big rubber motorboats. We had to put our camera away and just enjoy the spray. Squeals of delight and maybe a little of fright came from other passengers as we came close enough to the falls to be showered. By the time we had made several passes at the falls we were drenched but the sunny day kept us warm and comfortable as our boat carried us to the lower dock for departure.

We had seen the falls from above and now we were below them. We had walked them up, down, in, around and through and enjoyed every view, spray of water, variations of color from blue to green to yellow to white in the water, variations of dark green to light green foliage on the banks, butterflies, birds, sounds of pounding water and sounds of delighted tourists.

Bill had wondered if they would be worth all his efforts and he pronounced them a “spectacular highlight” and well worth the effort.

We’re glad we can raise our hands in response to a question about seeing Iguazu Falls. And then we’ll applaud.

For our last night in Iguazu we treated ourselves to another

spectacle, the dinner show called Rafain on the Brazilian side. In a huge hall we were seated at long tables with other tourists. The dinner buffet filled several rooms with tables covered with every side dish and dessert imaginable. One whole area had meat on spits and half a dozen carvers ready to slice as much as anyone wanted. Bill and I carried very full plates back to our table where we verified it was all delicious.

As the lights dimmed, a spotlight caught the master of ceremonies and he caught everyone’s attention by coming out on a projection above the stage and booming a welcome in a series of languages. He went on to introduce singers, dancers, jugglers, musicians, acrobats, clowns – performers from all over Latin America. We saw acts representing eight countries: Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. The amazing talent was matched by the colorful costumes: fruit stacked on heads, layers of feathers for winged arms, sombreros, silver buttons, swirling skirts, all full of energy!

Here we saw tango as good as or better than we had seen in Argentina. The dancers were crisp and clean, original and traditional.

The audience responded with peals of appreciation. Women paraded like peacocks in huge Las Vegas style outfits and we came close to seeing what carnival is like in Brazil. As they turned around they revealed mostly bare bottoms. Such large costumes covering so little.

The audience responded with more peals of appreciation. Those closest to the stage were invited to join in the dancing on stage and the whole room rocked.

The sensory overload of Iguazu readied us for the last leg of our South American journey, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Travel Travel briefs Maldives regulates tourist marriage vows COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Maldives says it has introduced new rules for tourist resorts that conduct marriage ceremonies, after an embarrassing ritual during which the celebrant was caught on camera abusing a Swiss couple.

A government statement said hotels that conduct ceremonies in breach of the new rules will be fined US$ 78,000.

The rules state vows be given under supervision of the resort management and the couple be given choice of language and translation.

It also prohibits the celebrant and the participants from engaging in any activity “disrespectful or degrading to any religion, Maldivian culture or custom,” the statement said.

If the ceremony is recorded the rules require the management of the resort to produce a copy to the tourism ministry when required.

Tickets are required for all who attend.

Swedish hotel replaces room keys with mobile phone STOCKHOLM (AP) — Visitors to a Stockholm hotel will be able to use mobile phones instead of keys to unlock the doors to their rooms.

Assa Abloy AB, the world’s largest maker of door locks, has launched a pilot in which Clarion Hotel Stockholm will lend customers mobile phones with close-range radio chips, much like devices used for contact-less payments at gas stations.

Repeat visitors during a fourmonth trial will be able to check in through their phones before arrival and have their phones activated as

November 18, 2010

“keys.” They will then be able to skip the registration desk and unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.

The short-range radio technology, known as Near Field Communication, is expected to be built into smart phones in the coming years. It is also envisioned for ticketing and card payments.

Assa Abloy says it wanted to test the system before expanding it to other hotels, commercial buildings and homes.

Greger Johansson, a telecommunications analyst at research firm Redeye, said NFC is a hot technology in the mobile phone market. But he said few models have incorporated it so far and it will take “several years” before it becomes widely used.

“It’s not just a matter of incorporating the technology into the phones,” he said. “You need someone who can read it too. There are quite a few players involved so it will take a while until it works well.”

The head of Assa Abloy’s mobile keys division, Daniel Berg, acknowledged that participants in the trial may find it cumbersome to have an extra mobile phone.

But once people have the technology in their own phones, he said, it will save them time at checkin and improve security because the access credentials in a lost phone can be revoked remotely.

He said the phone technology works with existing radio-enabled locks, so hotels can continue giving key cards to visitors who don’t have the new technology in their phones.

Allen Marine Tours announces cruises out of Sitka SITKA, Alaska (AP) — A family owned tour company will offer weeklong cruises of southeast Alaska next year that start and end in Sitka.

A spokesman for Allen Marine Tours told the Sitka Sentinel that the company will lease two former Cruise West vessels for the trips.

“What we’re excited about is we’re showing off the area where we live,” Allen Marine Vice President Jamey Cagle said of the new venture, Alaskan Dream Cruises.

“Our family and company have a lot of history here. We’re good at hosting people three to five hours on tours and we would like to see if we can do more.”

The eight-day, seven-night cruises will circumnavigate Admiralty Island with stops that focus on culture, history, wildlife and the environment, Cagle said.

The former Cruise West vessels, Spirit of Columbia and Spirit of Alaska, have been renamed Admiralty Dream and Baranof Dream. Each will carry 70 passengers. Allen Marine Tours earlier this year bought the 40passenger Executive Explorer and renamed it Alaskan Dream.

S e a t t l e - b a s e d C r u i s e We s t announced in September that it was restructuring with new ownership and would suspended all new bookings.

News of the new venture was

welcomed in Sitka. City Finance Director Dave Wolff said tax revenue has diminished with a 45 percent decline in cruise ship visitors the past two years, “ T h a t ’ s ( 11 0 ) p e o p l e e v e r y week that we otherwise wouldn’t be getting,” he said. “They’ll be stocking up on things here, it’ll help local businesses, and us with sales tax receipts. They may have to be kept overnight in a motel. Positive economic benefits all the way around.”

Allen Marine will operate tours May 14 through Sept. 3, with stops in Hoonah at Icy Strait Point, Glacier Bay, Juneau, Tracy Arm and Hobart Bay. Cagle said passengers should have time ashore in the various ports.

Allen Marine was founded 41 years ago by Bob Allen as a boatbuilding business. Allen Marine Tours offers day tours on high-speed catamarans in Sitka, Ketchikan and Juneau.

The company also builds custom vessels, including oceanographic research boats.

New at Whitney Museum: Edward Hopper and friends NEW YORK (AP) — The American artist Edward Hopper painted cityscapes without people, and the individuals he depicted were shown in settings so bleak they often seemed like the last humans on Earth.

Hopper built an enduring

reputation as one of the 20th century’s greatest painters of solitude, even loneliness, but in his professional life, Hopper did not work alone.

That is the central point of a new exhibition about Hopper that opens this week at the Whitney Museum and examines his work in relationship to that of his contemporaries.

Although history tends to focus o n g re a t i n d i v i d u a l s , c u r a t o r Barbara Haskell and assistant Sasha Nicholas have done a service for Hopper ’s many fans by showing his work within the broader artistic community of his era. “Modern Life: Edward Hopper and His Time” features about 85 works in a range of media by Hopper and his associates, including some of Hopper ’s rarely exhibited early paintings and works on paper.

We get a clear sense of the rapidly urbanizing world in which Hopper made some of his most iconic works, beginning with the bustling streets of New York City at the turn of the 20th century and later, the small-town vistas around Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

Hopper, who was born in 1882, arrived in New York in 1900 in the middle of an artistic revolution.

The stuffy conventions of genteel society were on their way out. A new generation of painters, led

by Robert Henri, was transfixed by the drama of modern, urban life. They were dubbed the Ashcan School for their willingness to paint what they saw on the street.

The Arts

The Holiday Show EAC’s latest exhibit promises color, creativity and excitement

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

T

he Edwardsville Art Center has announced its last show of the year that features local artists. The “Holiday Show,” featuring Fern Taylor with Dan Anderson, Caroline BottomAnderson, Darnell Malone and Kerry Smith, will open with an artists’ reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Nov. 19.

The show runs until Jan 7, 2011, and is a free show.

“Colorful, creative and exciting ... that's what the EAC Holiday Show will be,” Linda Sancez-Smith, EAC administrator and curator of the show, said. “It's a wonderful blend of local, established artists coming together in a unique and powerful exhibit you won't want to miss.”

Smith provided a brief background about each artist and

what visitors can expect from each at the show.

Smith noted that Fern Taylor “takes art into a whole new realm” with her highly acclaimed paintings that boast rich textures and vibrant colors.

“Extraordinary lighting and texturing techniques boast bravely in every piece Fern creates,” Smith said. “The finished result is a beautiful work of art that tempts the human eye and teases the senses – a visually and emotionally stimulating canvas that draws you in and challenges you to touch and feel its beauty.”

Fern has loved art since she was a child. She sold her first painting at the age of five. Trained in printmaking techniques, she found what would fulfill her – a full time art career.

“Acrylic paints are her current medium,” Smith said. “Her painting process begins with a photograph. From there, she takes the image from the photo and adds brilliant colors until the image is soothing to the soul.”

The pieces in this show created

by Darnell Malone were based on feelings, truths and being led to the correct path. Each has a similar color scheme but with additional colors or tones added to reach the desired outcome and message he wishes to convey.

“His work expresses depth, movement, vibrancy and even a philosophical tone,” Smith said.

“Darnell has participated in numerous exhibits with his work hanging in homes and institutions across the states.” He is currently pursuing his Masters in Art Education.

According to Smith, artist Kerry Smith had an extraordinary passion for design at a young age and didn't realize it was the mysterious force behind his incessant doodling in grade school. “Art classes brought to Kerry a new revelation that design wasn't just fun, it had power, purpose and the ability to not only move others but change

how people thought, felt and behaved,” Smith said.

“With his faithful dog of 20 years by his side, Kerry began an experimental series of sketches.

In an effort to achieve a genuine aura of child-like innocence, he drew upside down, closed eyed and even drew in the dark. Over time the sketches evolved into his current medium of using heavy applications of gouache and oil stick. Once the paint dries, he rips off sections of top layers with masking tape and then reapplies additional layers of gouache, resulting in original, primal type paintings.”

Kerry's creative inspiration comes from Jean-Michael Basquiat, Tim Burton and Andy Warhol.

Dan Anderson, a noted local artist and educator, headed the ceramic program at SIUE for 26 years and has entered stoneware and porcelain pieces to the show.

Anderson has lectured and demonstrated at hundreds of venues over the past four decades and received many grants and awards.

His work is in numerous private and permanent collections across the U.S. Smith said that Caroline BottomAnderson has also “received numerous awards for the glass beauties she creates.”

“Caroline built and operates her own hot glass studio in rural Edwardsville,” Smith said. “Her work is exhibited in several galleries across the U.S. and she has work in several private and permanent collections."

Smith encouraged the community to stop by the reception or the show for an “amazing exhibit of established local artists.”

The EAC is located at 310 Hillsboro Ave. in Edwardsville.

Show hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with Saturday hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center is closed Sunday and Mondays.

Visit the EAC’s Web site at edwardsvilleartscenter.org for more information or call Smith at 6550337.

Wells Fargo Advisors sponsors the “Holiday Show.”

Once again, the talent from the students at SIUE is showcased in some of the most professionally produced shows at an extremely reasonable cost.

Whether you love theater or dance, want to introduce you teens to the

November 18, 2010

arts, or are just looking for an evening out that doesn’t empty your wallet, check out this seasons line up.

• Miss Julie, by August Strindberg, directed by Jason Cannon. Dates: Dec. 1 through Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.; Dec. 10 through Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m.; Dec. 5 and Dec. 12 at 2 p.m.; Metcalf Theater.

A story of love, lust, and class status unfolds revealing the many levels of power between the sexes.

Set on a midsummer night in 1874 on her father ’s wealthy estate, a young woman attempts to escape an existence cramped by social mores and obligations. She is attracted to a footman, a senior servant named Jean. But Jean has his own desires and agenda. Control swings back and forth over the course of the play as Miss Julie, Jean, and her father battle for control.

• The Colored Museum, by George C. Wolfe, directed by Kathryn Bentley. Dates: Feb. 23 through Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m.; Feb. 27 at 2 p.m., Dunham Hall Theater.

The play features eleven vignettes that satirize elements of AfricanAmerican culture. The premise puts us among passengers on an airplane which travels through time. The passengers visit different museum exhibits which display AfricanAmerican culture and history from the early beginnings of slavery in America all the way up to fairly recent times. Each exhibit is a vignette, displaying a different event or lifestyle in different parts of the country and in different eras. The play premiered in 1986 and won its author the Dramatists Guild Award.

• Ubu Roi, by Alfred Jarry (with a new translation by David Copelin), directed by Chuck Harper. Dates: April 13 through April 16 at 7:30 p.m.; April 17 at 2 p.m.; Dunham Hall Theater.

AUDIENCE ADVISORY: This play contains adult language and mature situations.

Premiering in 1896, Ubu Roi is considered a precursor to the Theater of the Absurd as well as the surrealist art movement of the early 20th century. the character Ubi s Jarry’s metaphor for the modern man; he is an antihero-fat, ugly, vulgar, gluttonous, grandiose, dishonest, stupid, voracious, cruel, cowardly and evil. The play follows and explores Ubi’s political, martial and felonious exploits and offers a parody-like adaptation of situations and plot lines from Shakespearean dramas such as Macbeth, Hamlet and Richard III. Due to subject matter and themes, the Department of Theater and Dance Main Season is not recommended for children under age 12. Please direct any questions about a play’s appropriate age level to the Fine Arts Box Office at 650-2774.

"127 Hours" chronicles quest for survival LOS ANGELES (AP) — One of the most triumphant moments in Aron Ralston’s life occurred when he finally managed to break the bones in his lower right arm.

That instant is re-created with a gleeful laugh by James Franco, who plays Ralston in director Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours,” which opens in selected theaters Friday and chronicles in agonizing but often exhilarating detail the mountain climber ’s five-day ordeal trapped in a Utah canyon.

It’s terrible for the audience to watch, and what comes next is worse: Franco’s Ralston using a dull blade to hack off his own arm,

which was pinned beneath a fallen boulder.

But Ralston revels in the demented joy Franco expresses, saying it’s just how he felt when he was able to snap his bones that day in 2003, realizing that to free himself, he now only had to cut through flesh.

“He touches his arm and is like, ‘Hah! Hah hah!’ That to me is so important. I was so glad to see that in the film, because it’s not a revulsion. It’s a euphoria,” Ralston said in an interview. “For me, it was the liberation, the freedom that was coming from getting my life back. Not at all something that I was reluctant to

Get winter-ready with the newest styles from The North Face.

undertake.

“Yeah, it was the most painful thing that I’ll probably ever experience, but to the greatest end. To have a life. To get back to my family and friends, just the thought of whom had kept me alive for all those days, long after I should have died.”

R a l s t o n , w h o n o w h a s a p ro s t h e t i c arm, wrote a book about his experience and worked for years to bring the story to the screen as a docudrama, combining interviews and narration with dramatized re-enactments.

Boyle, making his first film since 2008’s

A c a d e m y Aw a r d s c h a m p “ S l u m d o g M i l l i o n a i re , ” b e c a m e f a s c i n a t e d w i t h Ralston’s story from the first news reports seven years ago.

It took years, but Boyle convinced Ralston that a full narrative drama was the way to go, then managed to sell the idea to dubious Hollywood, which had trouble picturing the merits of a film about a guy trapped alone in a narrow crevasse (”127 Hours” comes from News Corp. unit Fox Searchlight, which released “Slumdog Millionaire” to unexpected hit status with $141 million at the domestic box office).

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“127 Hours”

This strangely serves as a persuasive tourism promotion for getting away from it all and going exploring in middleof-nowhere Utah. Really, it does, even after James Franco finds himself trapped beneath a boulder for — that’s right — 127 hours while exploring caves and canyons by himself.

Director Danny Boyle, working again with cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “28 Days Later”) as well as Enrique Chediak (”28 Weeks Later”), makes this remote, sun-drenched part of the country look dazzling — appealing in its vastness, dramatic in its severity. And even though the movie is about a man who’s stagnant for five days straight, Boyle makes the story vital and vibrant in his signature kinetic style. Despite the physical restrictions of this real-life tale, the way Boyle and co-writer Simon Beaufoy tell it are boundless. “127 Hours” skips around in time and place. It takes us outside the canyon and deep within one man’s isolation and fear.

It’s the one-man Franco show, and the actor gives a tour-deforce performance, displaying every bit of his range.

RATED: R for language and some disturbing violent content/bloody images.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

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

“Due Date”

Robert Downey Jr. is miserable, stuck on a cross-country drive with a creepy Zach Galifianakis. And it’s easy to imagine how he feels: It’s often torturous just sitting through the movie, and we’re not the ones trapped in the middle of Texas with the guy. From the commercials alone, though, it’s clear we’re probably going to be in trouble here: They cut away early and often to a French bulldog in all his smushyfaced, bat-eared adorableness. When you need to go to the dog for easy, reliable laughs, there’s something wrong with your script — and this is coming from a dog person. That script comes from director Todd Phillips, hot off the success of “The Hangover,” and three other writers. But “Due Date” lacks the consistent hilarity and originality of that lastsummer hit; it’s got some individual laughs here and there but lacks sufficient story or character development to hold the whole endeavor together. Downey plays Peter Highman, a stylish, uptight architect whose wife (Michelle Monaghan) is about to give birth to their first child. Galifianakis plays Ethan Tremblay, a clueless aspiring actor Peter bumps into at the airport in Atlanta. Through a series of massive contrivances, they’re forced to share a rental car all the way back to Los Angeles.

“Fair Game”

Despite taking place just a few years ago, this feels like a throwback to the political thrillers of the 1970s: globetrotting and intelligent, serious and substantial, deliberately paced yet filled with mounting suspense. It also boasts excellent performances from Naomi Watts and Sean Penn (no surprise there) as exposed CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson — all of which makes it so frustrating when “Fair Game” implodes at the end in a heap of righteous indignation. What happened to Plame and Wilson should make us angry and mistrustful. It should spur us into action, or at least inspire us to become more informed about what our political leaders are doing.

But that much is evident from the first moments of director Doug Liman’s film, based on a script by brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, which itself is based on Plame and Wilson’s memoirs. The film makes its case clearly and efficiently: These people were betrayed by the very government they served. It doesn’t need to repeat its points with heavy-handed preaching at the end. Still, until then, “Fair Game” moves well and keeps us riveted, even as it encompasses a great deal of complex material.

RATED: PG-13 for some language.

RUNNING TIME 106 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“For Colored Girls”

For director Tyler Perry, who specializes in extreme melodrama, done quick and cheap, this is not much of a departure. It’s based on the Obie Award-winning play, “for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf,” by Ntozake Shange. The play, first performed in 1974, was a powerful flow of eloquent, fullblooded testifying by solitary black female characters — a “choreopoem,” as Shange called it. Perry has gathered nine of its characters in an overlapping narrative centered on a Harlem apartment building. It plays very much like a typical Perry soap opera, with the exception that every now and then his characters spout a poetic soliloquy. The rich language of the ruminations is utterly disconnected from Perry’s dialogue, and the film can only go down as a missed opportunity, a work of art that should have been trusted to more capable hands. With a hollow Janet Jackson as a fashion editor, an over-the-top Whoopi Goldberg as a religious zealot and more rounded performances from Tessa Thompson, Anika Noni Rose and Kimberly Elise.

RATED: R for some disturbing violence including a rape, sexual content and language.

RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes.

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

“Four Lions”

If the Three Stooges tried to carry out their own Islamic jihad, the results could not be funnier than director Chris Morris’ wonderfully absurdist nightmare about terrorist wannabes. Riz Ahmed, Nigel Lindsay, Kayvan Novak, Adeel Akhtar and Arsher Ali play a group of phenomenally incompetent British Muslims aiming to carry out a round of suicide bombings. This is a movie that will have you gasping in horror even as you choke on your own guffaws. The stuff these guys say and do — from the motions they make to confound possible camera surveillance to tweaking “The Lion King” into a jihadist parable — makes this one of the funniest movies of the year. It’s also one of the scariest and saddest. As these “lions” approach their goal of sacrificing their lives in acts of mass murder, we cringe and hope they’ll turn aside from their plot, not only because of the innocent lives they aim to take, but because we’ve actually come to care about these idiots, the way we care about Curly, Larry and Moe. RATED: R for some language, including sexual references throughout.

RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes.

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

“Megamind”

A dastardly super-villain who turned evil because of a bad upbringing finds himself seduced to the good side to defeat an even badder guy. Didn’t we just see this last summer in “Despicable Me”? This l a t e s t a c t i o n c o m e d y f ro m D re a m Wo r k s A n i m a t i o n features dazzling computer-animated design and action. Yet despite a clever hook — what’s a villain to do when he manages to defeat his superhero nemesis?

— it’s a thin story that feels familiar and unfolds with no surprises. The movie offers an amiably goofy voice cast led by Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill, whose wisecracks are cute if not terribly m e m o r a b l e . F e r r e l l ’ s t h e t i t l e c h a r a c t e r, a n a l i e n villain struggling to fill the void in his life after one of his plans to get rid of superhero Metro Man (Pitt) actually succeeds. The most impressive thing about the movie is the setting, a richly detailed skyline o f s t e e l y s k y s c r a p e r s . T h e d i z z y i n g h e i g h t s a re s o authentic in digital 3-D projection that some of the mid-air action sequences bring on a faint sense of vertigo.

Movies

Perry takes a serious approach

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press Tyler Perry, whose name usually adorns the titles to his films, hasn’t disowned his latest, the simply dubbed “For Colored Girls.”

On the contrary, his gesture of seeming humility is a self-conscious stab at respectability. With his 10th film, Perry has tried to make a “serious” film, one that courts critical acclaim and maybe even some of the Oscar buzz that the Perry-produced “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’

by Sapphire” found this time last year.

But make no mistake about it, “For Colored Girls” is not much of a departure for Perry, who has made a trademark out of extreme melodrama, done quick and cheap.

That might be good news for his ardent fans, but it’s bad news for everyone else.

Unlike “Precious,” “For Colored Girls” at least hasn’t awkwardly jammed its source material into its title. It’s based on the Obie Awardwinning play, “for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf,” by Ntozake Shange.

First performed in 1974, the play — which Shange called a “choreopoem” — was a sensation.

Played by seven wounded but resilient black female characters (each known only as a color), it’s a series of 20 poems.

The play was a powerful flow of eloquent, full-blooded testifying, one that has since been revered and repeatedly staged. That Perry would be drawn to it makes sense: Raised by women, he’s made them his specialty.

Associated Press

In this image released by Lionsgate, Thandie Newton, left, and Whoopi Goldberg are shown in a scene from, “For Colored Girls.”

Finding a narrative to string Shange’s poems together, though, is no easy task. Perry has put most of his nine women into one Harlem apartment building (they were scattered across the country in the play), where their stories overlap.

There is Crystal (Kimberly Elise), the mother of two and wife to an abusive war veteran (Michael Ealy).

Her boss is a fashion magazine editor, Jo (Janet Jackson), whose steely success castrates her husband

(Omari Hardwick).

Across the hall from Crystal is Tangie (Thandie Newton), a bartender who slides into bed easily with her customers. Her sister is a high school dancer, Nyla (Tessa Thompson) who has just lost her virginity. Their angry, righteous mother (Whoopi Goldberg) is a religious fanatic clad in only white.

Living in between Crystal and Tangie is Gilda, a concerned, motherly neighbor (Phylicia Rashad).

Then there are the health workers: Juanita (Loretta Devine) runs a women’s health clinic, and Kelly (Kerry Washington) is a visiting social worker. Dance instructor Yasmine (Anika Noni Rose), who is betrayed by a date, rounds out the protagonists.

If that sounds like a lot of characters to keep track of, it is.

Perry juggles them all awkwardly.

Fitting all their stories in leaves room for little character development, and

what’s left is the most sensational aspects of their stories.

“For Colored Girls” plays very much like a typical Perry soap opera, with the exception that every now and then his characters spout a poetic soliloquy. The rich language of the ruminations are utterly disconnected from Perry’s dialogue.

The monologues still offer some sanctuary, surely proof that Shange’s words remain strong even when insufficiently surrounded.

“Conviction” looks to be a winner

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Everyone needs somebody to believe in them, come hell or high water, when the chips are down and push comes to shove. Three clichés in one sentence? I have to have your attention by now. Good. Go see “Conviction,” a new film starring Hilary Swank. It’s a pretty simple concept for a movie, but one that uses its subtle nuance to really draw you into a loving family’s story of triumph despite severe tragedy and a hard go of things. Best of all, the crazy things that happen in it are true, based on events that happened in Massachusetts starting back in 1980.

Swank stars as Betty Anne Waters, a woman who has grown up in the foster care system simply because her parents were unfit at the job nature gave them. Her dad was a bum who left them at an early age because he enjoyed fishing and drinking beer with his brother more than being at home. The Commonwealth took her and her brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) away because they were turning into juvenile delinquents under the unwatchful eye of their mother who would leave them alone for hours or days at a time while she was (hopefully) working one of many jobs or (realistically) on another bender. These were people only a step above trash and their removal, as painful as it was for a young Betty Anne, was the

November 18, 2010

inspiration she needed to turn into a pretty decent person.

She works hard for her family, managing a tavern. Her husband has a good job and her two boys are sweet, if a little rambunctious.

The problem for Betty Anne is Kenny’s different life path. He’s kind of a screw-up and the police like to finger him for any petty crime that goes down in their blue collar burg. He’s got a temper and a drinking problem, but Kenny’s not up to much more harm than the occasional bar fight. When one officer of the law (Melissa Leo) pinches him for a local murder, though, Kenny is railroaded by the system and blindly puts his faith in a law that sentences him to life in prison. Dumbfounded, and without hope, he turns to Betty Anne, his beloved little sister, for help.

And stand by him she does. Like you dream about she puts her life in order to save his. Betty Anne finishes her GED as an adult and puts herself through college to get her BA. This definitely displeases her hubbie who wants his wife to be putting dinner on the table every evening instead of reading case law precedent. After they split, she becomes a single working mother going to law school during her free nights. Her sons take to raising her halfway through this adventure, but Betty Anne’s graduation from law school makes her a valid attorney and Kenny becomes her only client. His welfare means

everything to her. They visit every Sunday and talk on the phone as often as he’s allowed. The share letters frequently and she spends a lot to send him socks and candy bars every time he beckons.

K e n n y ’ s c a s e t a k e s o n s e r i o u s re v i e w i n t h e l a t e ‘90s when DNA evidence really hits the big-time. It’s through the help of her friends (like Minnie Driver ’s character) and the NYC Innocence Project (where she meets Peter Gallagher ’s character) that Betty Anne is able to earn Kenny a re-trial and a chance to prove h i m s e l f a n d e a r n f re e d o m . T h e s t o r y i s f a s t a n d remarkable. It’s got a great supporting cast, especially Juliette Lewis as a lying witness. She’s so done up with old lady makeup that she is a rival for ugliest movie character ever (battling Jonah Hill in “Get Him to the Greek.” I hate that guy.). The best part of this movie, however, is Rockwell’s performance as a man, t h o u g h w ro n g f u l l y a c c u s e d , w h o i s f a c i n g h i s o w n internal guilt over the other bad things he’s done in his life. It’s the perfect role for his loose cannon style of hyper-hilarious overacting and, if he’s not careful, he’s going to find himself on the right side of an Oscar nomination.

••• Conviction runs 107 minutes and is rated R for language and some violent images. I give this film three stars out of four.

On Campus Growth swing at 15 years for LCCC Another semester of increased enrollment for Lewis and Clark Community College means that more people are receiving the advanced training and quality education to prepare them for their future careers – at a minimal cost.

Credit enrollment at Lewis and Clark increased three percent this fall from 8,179 (Fall 2009) to 8,406 (Fall 2010). Total credit hours increased 5 percent to a new record high - 68,971.

“The increase is significant, not just because Lewis and Clark is experiencing yet another increase in enrollment, but also because this increase means that Lewis and Clark is providing career opportunities in the jobs of the 21st century,” L&C President Dale Chapman said. “The fact that more and more students choose Lewis and Clark each year is based on the reputation of our quality education for a fraction of the cost of other colleges and universities.”

The low cost to attend Lewis and Clark, coupled with a down economy played a significant role in this semester’s increase, Chapman said. “We often see a larger number of people return to school when the economy is down, either because they have been laid off, or because they fear a lay off may be eminent.”

Connie Vick, planning and program manager with Madison County Employment and Training, said she has seen an increase in displaced workers in the community interested in seeking higher education.

“Maybe one-fourth to one-third of the people we see are interested in going back to school. It has definitely increased,” Vick said.

“More people are selecting that option to try to re-train in a job that’s got more growth opportunity. Either that, or they look at this as an opportunity to change their career to something else they would rather do.”

Lewis and Clark’s recent enrollment increase means it continues to hold the record for longest enrollment growth trend in the state of Illinois, seeing consistent enrollment increases for the past 30 fall and spring semesters – or 15 years.

Two areas that continue to see large enrollment increases are online students and students enrolled at the N.O. Nelson Campus in Edwardsville.

Online students increased 4 percent (1,575), with a 5 percent rise in online credit hours taken (16,339). N.O. Nelson’s credit students total rose 16 percent.

“Last year we served nearly 2,000 Lewis and Clark students on the N.O. Nelson campus, which doesn’t include the number

of Edwardsville High School students who also utilize this campus every day,” Chapman said. “We knew we would continue to see increases in enrollments on that campus, but 16 percent was much more significant than we had anticipated this fall.”

Lewis and Clark’s High School Partnership program also witnessed a 15 percent increase in the number of students receiving high school and college credit. The Edwardsville School District reached an all time high by offering 46 dual credit courses this semester – the most ever offered by a high school in the dual credit program.

“We were amazed to see such a large number of courses and students from one school district who are taking advantage of the dual credit offering,” Vice President of Enrollment Kent Scheffel said. “I believe that more parents are realizing the value of their student earning college credit – at no cost to them – while they attend high school. I am sure this college savings is even more significant given the current economy.”

Scheffel said overall the High School Partnership Program serves 18 of schools throughout the area, and witnessed a 30 percent increase in the number of credit hours being taken by area high school students this fall.

“This fall’s credit hours taken by high school students represent a savings of $1,122,264 for district parents, and that number is based on Lewis and Clark’s tuition,” Scheffel said. “This figure would increase drastically based on other college’s tuition rates.”

Board Chairman Robert Watson said he is pleased that Lewis and Clark continues to experience growing enrollments. “It of course means more people are choosing Lewis and Clark, but even more importantly it means that more individuals and their families are saving a great deal of money on their College tuition, and it means that Lewis and Clark is playing a vital role in creating a strong regional workforce. Lewis and Clark continues to offer a top-rated college education for a minimal cost, which means even more today in our tough economic times.”

Watson applauded the entire staff for their continued efforts to keep costs low, while also expanding program offerings that meet the needs of students today. “Our faculty and staff are ahead of the game when it comes to understanding the needs of employers in our region, and developing state-of-the-art training programs to create a highly trained work force.”

A team of eight engineers from DRS Technologies, including Vice President John Wooten, Senior Design Engineer Greg Hobson and other departmental leaders, visited the SIUE School of Engineering and the School’s Southwest Illinois Advanced Manufacturing (SIAM) to explore opportunities in collaborative research projects.

On Thursday, Oct. 21, the visiting engineering team toured various labs in the Engineering building and met faculty members whose expertise overlaps with those of DRS Technologies, a leading supplier of integrated products, services and support to the military.

“DRS Technologies has recruited many School of Engineering graduates in recent years,” Engineering Dean Hasan Sevim said. “We welcomed this visit by the various engineering division heads of DRS Technologies, and we’re looking forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration in the near future.”

SIUE School Of Engineering faculty awarded $192K grant Sohyung Cho, assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering, received the Major

November 18, 2010

Research Instrumentation Award valued at $192,844. The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Cho the grant for his research to construct a state-of-the-art supply chain test bed in the SIUE School of Engineering.

Cho has teamed with engineering professors Felix Lee, Kevin Hubbard and Louis Youn to make the test bed experience worthwhile and to ensure it serves its purposes. The device will be used for education, research and service opportunities, and will provide students, faculty and experts with the hands-on resources needed to investigate and implement solutions to manufacturing and supply chain problems currently facing the industry. The test bed will also be used to operate a student-managed, University-wide company—presently called “Cougaroar”—that will sell items through the SIUE Bookstore as a primary retailer.

In summer 2010, Cho also submitted an NSF CAREER proposal on biomechanics for substantial funding for five years. CAREER funding promotes research early in the careers of junior faculty members.

Cho is awaiting the outcome of this pending proposal.

R e c e n t l y, C h o s l o n g w i t h surgeons at the School of Medicine at Washington University in Saint Louis submitted another project proposal to Intuitive Surgical Inc., the manufacturers of the surgical robot, for research focusing on ergonomic analysis of robotic surgery.

Dining Delights The Oatman House Restaurant and Tea Room Historic dining – in more ways than one

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge The Oatman House Restaurant and Tea Room is one of those little gems that you run across that provides a wonderful menu in a quaint, warm and friendly historic atmosphere.

The historic home, built by Dr. Charles Oatman in 1875, is located at 501 East Main St. in Collinsville.

Dr. Oatman had the house built for his family and the Gothic Revival Architecture of the home would have been a sign of prestige during his era and remains so currently.

The story of Dr. Oatman has been passed down through the ownership of the home. Oatman was a former drummer boy in the Civil War and his hired driver, a fife player, would at times drive around town and play his fife as Dr. Oatman played his drum.

Current owner Sandra Rose bought the house six years ago. She loves the history and tradition of the building and has worked hard to retain the

authentic Victorian feel. With floral wallpapers that would have been true of the period, paint colors that accentuate the beauty of the original woodwork throughout the rooms and furniture that accents the décor, Rose has created an atmosphere that only adds to the wonderful dining experience. The exterior of the house still has the “gingerbread” trim and is also painted and decorated accordingly. The authentic upkeep of the home through the generations has given cause to rank the building a historical landmark by the city of Collinsville.

Rose originally bought the tea room as a new start to her career repertoire. “I am a person that likes to reinvent myself from time to time,” said Rose, “and this tea room became available. I loved to cook and knew it was meant for me.”

Rose spent the next several years redecorating, cooking and running the establishment. Her husband, Dennis Dressel, would do much of the handyman work, gardening and

November 18, 2010

even built the brick patio behind the tea room that is now home to the outdoor dining area.

The popularity of the lunch and Sunday brunch establishment grew over time and even gained the love of customer Nancy Arrowsmith, who drives all the way from Pocahontas, to the point that she returned one day and asked Rose if she could work there. She has been working as a hostess, waitress, and Jill-of-all-trades since that time. “The customers love Nancy. She always has a smile on her face and is willing to do anything that needs to be done,” said Rose.

“She asked me four years ago if I needed any help and she has been here every since.”

As a result of Rose’s wanderlust for life, she again decided to “reinvent” her career path. She decided she wanted to keep the tea room open, but wanted to go back to college. She knew that she would have to find someone who could fill her “cooking shoes” so she put feelers out on Craigslist to find a new chef to take her place.

After reading an ad on Craigslist that asked for someone who “likes to play with food,” Chef Renee Kramer called Rose to check out the position. She came in to talk about the job and has been there in the chef capacity since. “I read her description for the job and when I saw that she was looking for someone that ‘loves to play with food,’ I knew that this was something I wanted to do,” said Kramer.

The addition of Kramer rounded out the female “three Musketeers,” with the chemistry working instantly between Rose, Kramer and Arrowsmith. “When Renee came, she took the restaurant to a whole other level,” said Rose, “and we have been having a lot of fun since then.”

Kramer studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis, Minn., and studied under Chef Craig Robinson and Pastry Chef Laura Fieburg. She cooked at Boeing in the Leadership Center and then at Argosy Casino

before coming to The Oatman House.

She loves cooking and creating a menu that is eclectic, yet not intimidating. “I like to create a good meal, something filling with good food, but you can still pronounce it,” said Kramer. Her specialties are numerous, but in particular is her Prime Rib which is slow roasted for four hours. She uses as much local and in-season produce as possible and always saves the meat juices from her various dishes to make the base for the next dish.

She loves to cook with wine and has even helped choose a new line of wines for the restaurant. A few of the selections on the new list are Umberto Moscato (from the Asti region of Italy; sweet and bubbly, with flavors of ripe grapes and honey), House Riesling (from California; honeydew, white nectarines; a nice balance of sweetness and crisp acidity) and Castillo Molina Cabernet (from Chile; medium to full body; intense; with hints of pepper, smooth black fruit and oak). There are other wine selections, a selection of cocktails and other beverages.

Kramer credits her grandmother, Arlene Hickman, as her inspiration for loving to cook and pursuing it as her career choice. “My grandmother was a wonderful cook and she always let me help. She was my true inspiration for doing what I love,” said Kramer.

So Chef Renee Kramer has now taken over the cooking reigns and Arrowsmith helps fill in the gaps.

The transition has not only worked smoothly for all three, but has offered the opportunity to begin some new traditions at the tea room.

The Oatman House is now offering candlelight dinners on Friday and Saturday nights, by reservation only.

Participants can enjoy an evening of fine Victorian dining, serving prime rib, seafood and more, with soft music and romantic ambiance.

Fine wines, cocktails and desserts are also served.

There are some wine tasting

dinners planned for the future along with some other great feature events.

The restaurant serves Thanksgiving Dinner, served family style, a New Year’s Eve steak and lobster dinner and they even have an English Chef who will host “High Tea” upon reservation and offers “High Tea” special events.

Many of the local community groups reserve the tea room for their events. People In Business, Collinsville Rotary, Bible study groups, and others make The Oatman House their meeting place throughout the month. There is still room for other groups if anyone is interested.

The tea room is also the perfect back drop for wedding and baby showers, birthday celebrations, anniversary celebrations and any other event that needs to seat up to 50 people.

The restaurant also houses the artwork of Arvilla Friar and Jeri Artz, mother and daughter artists, that is on display and for sale. The pieces change often, so check back for new works. Their watercolor pieces are very popular and both have won awards for their works.

There are also other gift items and stationeries available for purchase.

The next time you want to have a unique and memorable dining experience at a very reasonable price, remember to visit The Oatman House, which was also named in the 2008 Victorian Homes Magazine as one of the top 10 restaurants.

They serve lunch Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday brunch, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

For more information about any of the events, available meeting times or reservations for the Friday and Saturday night dinners, call 346-2626. They are located at 501 East Main St., in Collinsville and you can read more, including view more complete menus at www. oatmanhousetearoom.com.

Dining Delights

Clark: Recipes are only 90 percent of it NEW YORK (AP) – The pork ribs arrived in the CSA box. A quick dig through the fridge turned up a withering green tomato. An orange and the usual garlic and herbs sat a bit further back.

“The way dishes come together in my head, they come together 90 percent,” says Melissa Clark, whose new book “In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite” (Hyperion, 2010) encourages playing with your food until it tastes good to you. “You say ’This is what I have in the fridge, this is what I’m hungry for, this is what I bought.’”

A dash of this, a squeeze of that, a sprinkle and a grind later, and Clark had a delectable pork dinner (you can find the recipe on her blog, melissaclark.net).

This is called improvisation. and it scares a lot of people. But Clark swears anyone can do it. “You have to take that last 10 percent and make it your own,” she says. Here’s how: — Focus on balance Complexity comes from balancing sweet, salt, acid and pungent. Sweet can be sugar, honey, hoisin. Salt can be capers, pickles, anchovies. Acid equals vinegar or citru s . P u n g e n t i s y o u r g a r l i c a n d o n i o n s . Some ingredients do double duty, like Clark’s orange, which p ro v i d e d b o t h s w e e t a n d a c i d . M a k e s u re e a c h i s represented in your dish and it’s hard to screw up.

— Play with your proteins Recipe calls for chicken but you’ve eaten it all week?

Use pork instead. Or turkey. Try lamb in place of beef.

— Grind, squeeze, dash Cooking integrates flavors, but it also softens them.

So be sure to re-season when the dish comes off the

heat. That could mean a grind of salt; a squeeze of citrus or a smidge of zest; a dash of hot sauce, vinegar, vermouth; or another flavor you like to help brighten the dish.

— Start slow Can you scramble an egg? So scramble one — and add a little cheese. Or tarragon. Or chorizo. “Whatever you’re confident making, make it and take it to the next level,” Clark says. Just don’t experiment 30 minutes before a dinner party.

— Trust yourself Your palate is as good as anyone else’s. Honest. If you like a flavor, use it.

— Always have a Plan B: It’s true, you might screw up. But what’s so bad about breakfast cereal for dinner now and then? “My emergency food is tomato on toast,” Clark says. “My husband has peanut butter.”

FIGGY, PIGGY DRUMSTICKS AND THIGHS Start to finish: 40 minutes Servings: 4 8 strips bacon (8 ounces), halved 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 3 each of chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total) 1 teaspoon kosher salt Ground black pepper 11 or 12 fresh figs, halved or quartered if large 12 sprigs fresh thyme 2 tablespoons vermouth 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Heat the oven to 500 F. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Don’t drain the fat from the skillet.

Add the garlic to the skillet and saute for 1 minute or so, or until the slices are pale golden. Transfer the garlic to the plate along with the bacon.

Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.

Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high until the fat begins to smoke. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes.

Flip the chicken and brown the other side, about 3 minutes.

Scatter the figs and thyme over the chicken and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Stir the vermouth and lemon juice into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom (be careful when touching the skillet handle; it will be hot). Place the skillet over medium heat until the juices thicken, about 3 minutes.

Pour the pan sauce over the chicken, then garnish with the bacon and garlic.

Adding liquor to mix takes the cake B E R K E L E Y, C a l i f . ( A P ) — Classic cake-making calls for eggs, flour, butter and sugar. But some bakers are juicing up the flavor by throwing liquor into the mix.

Or, as Terry Lee Stone, co-author of the recently published “Booze Cakes” cookbook puts it, “Baking is fun and drinking is fun — let’s combine them!”

Stone and Krystina Castella, friends from teaching at a design college in Pasadena, started working on the book after Stone was inspired when making an old cake recipe of her mother ’s that called for adding alcohol.

But the concoctions they came up with for their book go well beyond the typically tame “add a tablespoon of kirsch” school of cooking with liquor.

“It w a s re a l l y i m p o r t a n t t o us that you tasted the alcohol,” Castella says. “When we first developed the idea, there really wasn’t much out there. We found people adding different liquors and alcohols to food, but not much in baking.”

The recipes they did find generally used liquor as a substitute for vanilla. “So we would find (recipes calling for) one teaspoon of rum. One teaspoon of rum is not going to really give it a rum flavor. You might need 1/4 cup of rum and then soak it in rum and having rum frosting.”

Castella and Stone have invited readers to explore variations on

November 18, 2010

their themes and bloggers have enthusiastically taken to it, posting their results on the “Booze Cakes” Facebook page.

In fact, there seems to be a surge of interest in baking with libations. A second book, “The Boozy Baker,” by the aptly named Lucy Baker, also was released this year.

B a k e r s e e s a g e n e r a l t re n d toward slow-paced activities like baking that she views as a reaction to a high-speed, 24-7 world.

“People are looking for ways to relax, to kick back, to reconnect.

H a v i n g a s p e a k e a s y i n s p i re d cocktail is one way to do that and another way to do that is baking.”

Baker was inspired to try

adding liquor while looking for something to do with a bottle of ouzo that ended up in her pantry.

The anise-flavored drink worked surprisingly well in a cake, and soon she was “pouring in a little bit of this and a little bit of that into all my different recipes and finding tha t it really w orked well.” The alcohol enhanced the flavor and made dessert “seem a little more indulgent.”

Her book covers pies, cookies and other desserts as well as c a k e s , a n d re c i p e s i n c l u d e a margarita meringue pie and Champagne layer cake. Among her discoveries, ginger liqueur goes great with peach and Port is surprisingly good with fruit.

In their book, Castella and Stone tackle a little chemistry along with confectionery, providing a chart on how much alcohol is likely to remain in cakes depending on how large they are and how long they bake. Some of the alcohol burns off, but not all. And whatever you use for soaking or put in frosting, stays there.

They cook with spirits, wine and beer and went for some unusual

combinations, such as their Jagermeister Deutsch German chocolate cake.

They have a chapter on the classics, such as fruit cakes and Black Forest cherry cake, as well as new twists, such as a cocktail cupcake chapter that incorporates the flavors of classic drinks.

As they explored alcohol as a flavoring, they found some spirits work better than others.

Skirt shapes like a swish of the hips NEW YORK (AP) – There’s finally a runway look for all the curvy girls.

Many of the most stylish skirts this fall are full, flared and drop down below the knee, evoking the 1950s and ’60s in the latest round of ladylike-meets-high style silhouettes.

Though the idea of a longer, looser skirt may make some think of a matronly grandmother, the glamorous 1960s characters of “Mad Men,” arguably TV’s greatest fashion influencers of the moment, have proved them wrong, says stylist Stacy London, co-host of TLC’s “What Not to Wear.”

“These are women who are so stunning,” she says. “One of the great things ’Mad Men’ has done in highlighting fashion is celebrating our curves again.”

Another tastemaker — Oprah Winfrey — showed off the look on this year’s premiere of the farewell season of her television talk show, wearing a white-button down shirt tucked into an orange Carolina Herrera skirt.

So for all the hourglass-shaped women tired of fruitlessly trying to wriggle into straight skirts or fit them to their hips only to have to take them in the waist, the trend is a wearable cause for celebration.

“I’m thrilled to open up the magazines and

see these beautiful, feminine skirts,” says Victoria Gloster, 52, of of Wilmington, Del. A size 4 on top and 6 on the bottom, Gloster appreciates how the skirts are fitted at the waist, float over the hips and fall to the midcalf. They hide some of her legs, which she says are not her best feature, and show off her narrow waist.

“The skirts accent my positives, making me feel more slender,” says Gloster, who designs and sells jewelry. “They’re flattering, and cover a multitude of sins.”

And after eschewing trends like low-rise pants, leggings, skinny jeans and miniskirts, she finds these graceful skirts that twirl a welcome alternative. “To me, it’s a return to grown-up clothing.”

The skirts not only show off a shapely woman’s peaks and valleys, they can also create the illusion of a feminine contours on a straight body, London says.

The look is “about creating and flattering curves,” says London, herself a curvy girl. “A lot of fashion is anti-curvy women. This is a skirt that’s very translatable across body type and age.”

“We’re used to trends that need translating and tweaking before they’re ready-made for real life,” she added. “We’re used to so much

skin and trends that are overtly sexy. This is one that is easy to translate.”

Don’t think these vintage-inspired looks can’t lend a little sex appeal, though. It may be demure in coverage, but it still highlights curves.

That’s what Daniele Marquis of Schenectady, N.Y., was going for when she bought a black, cotton pleated skirt to wear with a close-fitting cardigan on a night out with her husband.

“I like that whole (ladylike) feeling that’s kind of been brought back by ’Mad Men,’” says Marquis, a sports agent, adjunct professor and mother of two. “A little part of you wants to go on date with your husband and you want to look like the hot stay-athome moms did back in the day.”

With a curvy, muscular build, Marquis, 31, says her waist is small and the skirt’s volume “hides what isn’t.”

The look was introduced on the runways, including those of Marc Jacobs, who touted the look both for his signature and Louis Vuitton collections. It’s now turning up everywhere — Retailer Anthropologie says it’s a cinch to wear and is popular with its customers.

“It’s very flattering, it’s not fussy and it’s

effortless,” said Kit Li-Perry, Anthropologie’s general merchandise manager of apparel, accessories and intimates. “All you have to do is put on a simple top and that statement skirt will make your outfit.”

But there are some tricks to wearing the full skirt in the most flattering ways, including having that nipped waist, an elongated leg and the right shoes. And a little swish of the hips is OK, too.

London offers tips: —Tight top. With a full skirt, make sure your top fits close to the body and your waist is defined by tucking in your top or wearing a belt. She suggests a fitted button-down shirt or knit sweater or a jacket that comes in at the waist.

“You need to be body-conscious somewhere if you’re going to create volume somewhere else,” London says.

—Long lines. Choose footwear to make your legs look their longest, London says, recommending a pointy toe-pump, kitten heel or a tight-fitting boot. Avoid things that can cut off the leg line, like a shoe with an ankle strap or a slouchy boot.

Don’t add weight to the look with heavy hosiery. Think opaque tights, not heavy cableknit ones.

Get creative with those Sharpies NEW YORK (AP) – Exhausted new moms use them to mark their twins.

Doodlers on hyper-drive buy them to trick out their cars. Conan O’Brien morphed into one on Twitter, and Taylor Swift used one as eyeliner in a pinch.

It’s hard to find someone — anyone — who doesn’t love the hardworking Sharpie, excluding the loved ones of little wall-drawing Picassos.

Fans and fanatics are all over Flickr and YouTube showing off their collections of the endearing pens and a vast array of handiwork and Sharpie magic, but Glee’s Dianna Agron best summed up the Sharpie life in a blog apology over her saucy photos in GQ: “I am trying to live my life with a sharpie marker approach. You can’t erase the strokes you’ve made, but each step is much bolder and more deliberate.”

Sanford Manufacturing Co., a Chicago purveyor of ink and glue, launched the Sharpie line in 1964, later becoming Sanford L.P. and part of the Newell Rubbermaid empire.

Easily the market leader, half a billion Sharpie products were sold around the world last year.

“It’s always been the jewel within the portfolio, but its roots were pretty functional,” said a company vice president, Sally Grimes.

Now, Sharpies can be personalized, refilled and retracted. They come in keyring-ready minis, peelable grease colors for porous surfaces and shimmery silver for black ones.

They can stand in for ball point pens with ink that won’t bleed through paper, and for mechanical pencils

with liquid graphite that won’t break at the tip.

So what’s the most unusual thing you’ve done with a Sharpie? Some ideas: — One mom left the tiniest dot on the foot of one her newborn twins until she could tell them apart.

Another writes her telephone number on the bottom of her kids’ feet so they can whip off a shoe in case they get lost.

Grimes notes: While Sharpies are nontoxic, they’re not recommended for use on skin. Also, they’re not edible, though they’re good for turning oranges into little jack-o’lanterns for Halloween place settings.

Win mom of the year by printing out your child’s favorite cartoon characters and tracing them on plastic bags. Fill in with Sharpie for the coolest sandwich look in the cafeteria.

— Amy Ekbom, 19, of Scituate, Mass., bought a basic white dress for prom and Sharpied away in bright pinks, greens and yellows. She did the same on her date’s white suit.

Ekbom earned a spot on the Sharpie blog for her handiwork last year.

— The Web’s got a Sharpied Lamborghini and a Ford Fiero. It also has Travis Todd and his silver BMW. He’s one of 20 members of the company’s “Sharpie Squad,” brand ambassadors with claims to fame.

The Colorado Springs, Colo., lab technician detached the hood of his car and carried it into his livingroom for Sharpie-ing. It was his wife’s idea.

After decorating the trunk as well, Todd sold the black-doodled car to a BMW dealership and is thinking

about taking a Sharpie to the replacement, a silver Jeep. “My wife makes fun of me because everything in the house has something drawn all over it,” he said. It took only two of Sharpie’s opaque, oil-based paint markers to decorate the car.

— Enthusiasts of Cosplay, the performance art often influenced

by Asian media like anime, can be dead serious about the wigs that help them transform into characters. Some hand-dye using Sharpies, a tedious process followed by a dunk in cold water to set the color. Others trade formulas online for extracting ink from Sharpie cartridges to mix with alcohol for a dunk. Cosplay.com has threads dedicated to the task.

— What about your own hair? One guy used a Sharpie to mask a gray patch in his beard.

— Grab a basic round Christmas tree ball and carefully detach the hook and metal thing at the hole.

Cut a toilet paper roll longways and wrap it around a drill bit. Work the cardboard-encased bit into the ball’s hole and fasten the other end of the bit to a power drill. Hold the drill with the ball attached in one hand, grab a Sharpie with the other. As the drill turns the ball, touch the pen to the ball for a swirly design as the ball spins.

— A guy once used a Sharpie for the pin of a trailer hitch after the losing the real one. He was hauling a large grill. Others color-customize golf balls and fishing tackle. They’re also handy for opening wine bottles without a corkscrew (push in).

— Nothing says repurposed like a Sharpie. Reclaim an old lazy

susan with a base coat from a paint Sharpie and a design with finer points, followed by a light spritz

of sealer for protection. Or buy an inexpensive white lampshade and create a design.

The Holidays

Tips on handling the Santa question NEW YORK (AP) – When Liz Anderson’s 9-year-old son asked her if Santa Claus was real, she froze.

Only days before, she had been lecturing him on the importance of telling the truth. Now here he was, tears welling in his eyes, and his younger sister playing nearby.

Anderson, a public relations consultant from Waco, Texas, took her son to another room and told him the truth. They both cried.

But a few days later, when her 7year-old daughter mentioned a gift she wanted Santa to bring her, Anderson’s son winked at his mother. A year later, her daughter still believes and her son is still winking, happy to be in on the secret.

Santa can be magical for children but can leave parents conflicted. Is it lying to perpetuate the myth? When should you tell the truth about Santa? What should you say?

Here are some things to think about as you navigate St. Nicholas this holiday season: 1. There’s no harm in Santa.

Parents tend to set him apart, but he’s just one of many make-believe characters in children’s minds, says Rebecca Timlin-Scalera, a neuropsychologist in Norwalk, Conn. “Don’t think of it as a lie or a hoax. It’s really an extension of all the magic and make-believe they have when they’re kids,” she said.

Eventually they figure out how to separate fact from fiction, with no harmful consequences.

2. Santa can actually help. From birth to around 8, children are concrete thinkers who see the world in black and white. Kids like an all-good character like Santa, who “conveys that the world is a safe place and people are loving,” said Dana Dorfman, a New York-based child psychotherapist. As kids get older, they understand that people can be a mix of good and bad, and they have less need to believe in characters like Santa.

Santa shows kids generosity and kindness and other behaviors they can emulate. And Santa can also help kids develop problem-solving abilities. Many a kid lies awake thinking through tough questions like how Santa can get all those gifts to all those children in one night.

3. Is Santa real? When a child asks you about Santa, experts suggest bringing the conversation back to them to figure out where they are emotionally and what kind of answer they want to hear.

Robert Resnick, a psychology professor at Randolph Macon College, says some kids want a yesor-no answer, and you should give it to them. But he says kids rarely ask outright, since they want to keep getting presents. If they seem to want to keep things ambiguous, you can too, with a comment like, “Santa is someone we all like to think about.”

playing Santa.

7. Don’t overthink. Kids will find out about Santa one way or the other and it won’t be the end of the

world. “Don’t negate the fantasy, don’t think too much, just be kind and open and loving with them,” Resnick said.

Bring kids off the magic as gently as you can. Timlin-Scalera suggests telling kids that Santa is about giving. If they want a more concrete answer, a parent might say, “Santa is a make-believe idea, but the story of giving and generosity is real. It’s just that Mommy and Daddy take on that role.”

With some kids, you can have fun with it and problem-solve together.

Thinking aloud about whether reindeer can really fly, for example, can let a kid down easily while reinforcing that the story is a fun fantasy.

4. Respect kids’ limits. While it’s fine to let kids believe for as long as they want to, parents sometimes take things too far when they force kids to sit on Santa’s lap, for example, or make kids write a letter to Santa.

Santa is a stranger, and kids may not want to be overly familiar or trusting.

Another no-no is telling skeptical kids that they won’t get presents unless they believe in Santa. Kids should take Santa only as far as they want to.

5. Don’t use Santa as a weapon.

Parents should avoid generalizations like “If you’re good all year, Santa will come,” because “good” is too vague and general a term for a young mind to grasp.

Charles Smith, a Kansas State University child development professor, says that threatening kids — saying Santa won’t come if they don’t eat their vegetables, for instance — undermines the family’s shared enjoyment of Santa.

He remembers a student whose father would take him driving on Christmas Eve to look for Santa and would laugh when his son couldn’t

find him. Instead of having a shared, joyful moment, the student felt betrayed, Smith said.

6. Involve the family. When older kids know, ask if they want to participate in playing Santa for younger kids. Many kids — like Anderson’s son — are so proud to be in on the secret that they’re quick to get over learning the truth. It’s also good to let older kids see the pleasure you have in

Television "Wartorn" tells soldiers' stories NEW YORK (AP) — “I am not so well. I am clear off the hooks,” wrote a soldier who soon would be discharged from the Army as unfit to serve. Back at home in Pennsylvania, he turned increasingly paranoid and violent. Then he killed himself.

The year was 1864 for this young Civil War veteran.

It would take more than a century, and many more wars, for post-traumatic stress disorder to be recognized as a medical condition and to be acknowledged by the U.S. military as a raging fact of life.

A n e w H B O d o c u m e n t a r y, “Wartorn: 1861-2010,” charts this heartbreaking story, from the U.S. invasion of Iraq all the way back to the Civil War, whose veterans, according to the film, accounted for more than half the patients in mental institutions of that era.

James Gandolfini is an executive producer, returning the former “Sopranos” star to veterans affairs after his 2007 HBO documentary, “Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq.”

“Wartorn” premieres at 9 p.m. EST on Thursday, which, of course, is Veterans Day. There may be no more fitting way to honor the nation’s fighting men and women than to bear witness to the struggle many of them never can stop fighting.

“We should be aware of what’s happening,” said Gandolfini, discussing the film not long ago in his Manhattan office. “Unless people start thinking about it, one way or another, it’s not going to stop.”

As in “Alive Day Memories,” Gandolfini appears on camera only sparingly in “Wartorn.”

Explaining his role in the film, he took pains to describe himself as “certainly no expert in any of this.

I just want to ask questions and see what they say.”

Among numerous military personnel with whom he met, he is seen in Baghdad talking to Sgt. John Wesley Mathews, who tells him, “Days upon days of living at such a high alert level physically will burn

November 18, 2010

your candle out.”

At Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, Gandolfini inquires how many soldiers who served in intense combat situations return home “completely fine.”

“Those folks are pretty rare,” says Col. Charles C. Engel of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress.

“Nobody is really unscathed,” says Col. John Bradley, Walter Reed’s chief of psychiatry.

Far from unscathed was Noah Pierce of Gilbert, Minn. His mother tells of his torment after serving two tours in Iraq. He finally sought relief by pressing his dog tag against his temple and firing a bullet from his handgun through it into his skull.

“The United States Army turned my son into a killer,” says his mother, Cheryl. “They trained him to kill to protect others. They forgot to untrain him.”

Symptoms of PTSD are vividly displayed by William R. Fraas Jr., who, back home with his family in El Paso, Texas, speaks of his anger, agitation and guilt after three tours in Iraq.

Even a trip with his wife and kids to Walmart is more than he can handle.

“It’s getting close,” he says, expressing his need to flee this big, seemingly threatening store. “We got people staring at us.”

“Wartorn” also hears from a group of World War II veterans who for the first time open up about the stigmatizing condition then termed “combat fatigue” that has plagued them ever since.

“I thought I was the only one in the whole world that came out of the war with something wrong with my head,” says Michael Shields, who describes the separate beds he and his new wife occupied because of his disruptive nightmares — nightmares he still has, a half-century later.

Today, Gen. Peter Chiarelli, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army, is working to change attitudes toward PTSD. But he concedes to Gandolfini that resistance from within the military continues even now.
