Inventor lives a life of fun and games Local man creates Gems of Virtues

By ANN NICCUM Of The Edge

B

obby Picker Jr. has turned his dreams of gems and virtues into a board game.

The Edwardsville resident said one night after playing games with friends over the holidays in 2005, he woke up with an idea for a board game.

“I got up in the middle of the night and started sketching it,” Picker said.

Picker later created a proto-type to see if it would work.

“People really enjoyed it,” Picker said.

Thinking the game had potential, he shared it with family, friends and even locals at coffee shops “I threw it out there, got responses and they gave me a lot of good ideas,” Picker said.

Picker said he made a few revisions and two years ago, after moving to Edwardsville, he got the courage to share his idea with a designer.

Late last year, Picker said he then moved forward with securing some capital to start a company, now called P & G Games, Inc., and getting the game manufactured.

The game, called Gems of Virtues, is a family game for two to six players ages 8 and up.

The objective is to score as many points as you can by connecting virtues listed on the board with gem tokens.

Picker said the game is a bit of strategy and luck.

He said each player gets 45 gems to start (you can use fewer gems for a shorter game) and they must use those gems to connect the virtues they have been assigned by the Path Cards. To do that they must use Virtue Cards that correspond to the colored paths between the virtues on the board.

For example, you must get four red Virtue Cards before connecting a red path.

In the end, players get points for paths, connecting virtues and using all their gems.

The game ends once one player gets down to three or fewer gems, and then each player gets one more turn. Then you count up the remaining points and declare a winner.

Now nearly one year after starting this process, Picker continues to receive positive responses from the game and has sold more the 300 games at special events and online (www.gemsofvirtues.com).

Picker said the company has even been discussing distribution deals with companies like Bed, Bath and Beyond and others, although no deal is in ink yet.

In addition, he noted he would even love to find a local merchant to offer the game.

Some of the game’s positive feedback has come from two gaming events – Mesa Mind Games in April and the GenCon Convention in August.

“We got very, very positive responses,”

December 2, 2010

Edwardsville resident Bobby Picker Jr. shows off the board game he invented – Gems of Virtues.

Picker said.

Picker said at the Mesa Mind Games, 122 players absolutely loved it and at the convention, one of largest gaming conventions attended by more than 28,000 people, 85 percent of the people who played the game at the convention purchased it.

Picker said the convention surprised him, because a majority of the games revolved around dungeon and dragon type games.

“We knew we were bucking the trend because Gems of Virtues doesn’t involve killing anyone (or dragons), money, vengeance, blood or selling anything,” Picker said. “The game challenges players to connect virtues on the board by drawing gem cards to complete specific paths. The game board is

intriguing with multiple paths available for the players.”

He added, “It is just an amazingly fun game that is beautiful and can be educational.

Players find the game competitive yet positive, strategic yet simple, and simply fun.”

Picker said the gems and virtues came from his vision of creating a family-friendly game.

From that he drew upon virtues.

“As a kid growing up I was taught virtues like responsibility, honesty, etc.,” Picker said.

The game educates players about virtues.

It has 37 virtues listed on the game board like honor, loyalty, love and faith and each Virtue Card has a quote, such as the Diamond Card has a Confucius quote – “He who wishes to

secure the good of others, has already secured his own.”

Picker said it is also a game that can be played for many, many years to come.

“You will never play the same game twice,” he said. “It is mathematically impossible.”

In addition, Picker said the game even has an international draw.

“Everybody has a word for virtue,” Picker said.

Some of his buyers have come from all over the world including South Africa, United Kingdom, Poland, Ireland and China.

“It's been taken all around the world,” Picker said.

Picker is still keeping his full-time job for now. But he does hope to someday to create new editions of the game, such as using new quotes and/or topics.

The current edition of Gems of Virtues is $32.50 plus tax and shipping and handling and can be ordered online at www.gemsofvirtues. com or by calling 618-578-1918.

The game includes: one 20-inch by 20-inch quad fold game board, two decks of playing cards, 270-plus game tokens, seven pouches for tokens and full color rules.

Picker said local residents may call him for a game purchase, so they do not have to pay for shipping. He said he will even deliver it and sign it, if the customer is interested in that.

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 s p i r i t u a l i t y, d a t i n g , h e a l t h 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.

Ti c k e t p r i c e i s $ 9 9 w h i c h includes the all-day retreat, lunch and refreshments, a book, workbook, CD, DVD, pen, note pad, Mass Journal, program, rosary, and other materials. The re t a i l p r i c e o f t h e s e m a t e r i a l s alone is over $100.

Kelly currently has four of the top 10 best--selling Catholic books.

“In my travels, I see a lot of people just surviving, not t h r i v i n g , ” s a y s K e l l y. T h e 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 a t w h o w e a re , w h e re w e a re and what we are doing.”

“Eliot (Morris) added so m u c h t o t h e d a y. H e i s a n inspiration and helped us to see how to apply what Matthew talked about.” “ We f e e l p r i v i l e g e d t o b e hosting an event of this caliber for the entire region,” says

Camille Emig-Hill, local event c o o rd i n a t o r. “ M a t t h e w K e l l y is an impactful and inspiring speaker and has motivated— even changed—people’s lives, whether his audience is a faith community or corporate group.

This is an opportunity to take a day from our hectic lives and better understand how being the best version of ourselves can make our lives better.”

Ooh La La is Making it Happen!!!

Ooh La La Brings a STAR to Town!

Ooh La La welcomes Grammy Nominated Female Vocalist, Nadirah Shakoor, to their Rockin’ Holiday Party!

Nadirah is best known as the former lead female vocalist of acclaimed hip hop group Arrested Development. In the last 13 years she has become well known and loved as the featured female vocalist of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. Nadirah’s new CD, “Nod to the Storyteller”, is a Tribute to Jimmy Buffett and includes her interpretation of 7 of his songs, 2 Nadirah songs, an Eric Clapton cover and an Art Neville song made popular by Buffett, plus songs written by Nashville songwriter’s hall of famer Mac McAnally. McAnally, who produced the CD, is the 2008 recipient of the coveted CMA “Musician of the Year” award.

Some of Nadirah’s other recording credits either as a guest artist or back up vocalist includes: Quincy Jones, Madonna, Belinda Carlyle, Phyllis Hyman, Philip Bailey, Jasmine Guy, Jermaine Jackson, Jodie Watly, Club Trini, Speech, and Siedah Garrett.

hCG combined with a reduced calorie meal plan helps to mobilize fat, making it available to your body as an energy source. What this means is that FAT is burned instead of MUSCLE. If you are on a low calorie diet without using hCG for weight loss, your metabolism is actually slowed and “starvation mode” is triggered which actually signals fat storage.

The hCG diet is considered one of the most effective diets because with rapid weight loss you normally experience loss in muscle and not fat, which can result in sagging or loose skin. However, the goal with the HCG diet is to maintain your muscle mass and lose only fat. extraordinaire and wife of another Coral Reefer, Doyle Grisham, have become the best of friends! While in Key West this year, the 2 decided to ask Nadirah to sing at Ooh La La’s Holiday Party and she so graciously said YES! “Nadirah is a class act, she is an amazing singer, and has a heart of gold!” Says Jacobs. “She will add so much to our event! I am so excited to see her perform her songs!”

Nadirah is a seasoned professional who has performed for thousands at stadiums, and mega concert events such as Lalapalooza, Womad and Woodstock II, not to mention the millions who have experienced one of her sultry, earthy performances on television. In more intimate venues her voice and style have been described as no less than captivating.

Nadirah will be performing at Ooh La La’s Holiday Party, December 9, 2010 between 6-9p at Villa Marie Winery in Maryville, IL. A $10 Reservation Fee is required which can be redeemed for Ooh La La’s Services or Products.

Seating is very limited; call 618-288-9117 to reserve your spot today!! Also, listen to Nadirah’s songs on “Nod to the Storyteller” at MailboatRecords.com.

Dr. Jacobs met Nadirah in November 2007 in Key West, FL. Nadirah was singing at Margaritaville with Dr. Jacobs’ favorite band, The Boat Drunks, a Jimmy Buffett Tribute band from Champagne, IL. The Boat Drunks also play at Dr. Jacobs’ Family winery, Von Jakob Vineyard (www.vonjakobvineyard.com), in Pomona & Alto Pass, IL. She invited Nadirah to play at the winery the next January and was thrilled when Nadirah accepted! Von Jakob Vineyard is honored to have Nadirah sing there and look forward to having her as their guest twice a year!

Dr. Jacobs incorporates hCG into Ooh La La’s weight loss program but never loses sight that weight loss is a lifestyle change, a new way of thinking about health, and not “magic”.

Ooh La La only accepts patients who understand that hCG is only part of the process of weight loss and that it’s not the “easy button”.

Religion Keep the Thanksgiving spirit alive all year As I sit to write this article it is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. It is a rather gloomy day, but also a time alone in which I have been thinking about ‘thanksgiving’. I should mention this is the Sunday before Thanksgiving so my head is full of plans.

I’ll admit that since Thanksgiving will be celebrated at my home with many family members, I have been thinking about getting that turkey thawed, reviewing the items needed, checking my shopping list of items I still need, and frankly, getting tired just thinking about it.

After church this morning, I joined my daughter and son-in-law and we drove over to Trinity Lutheran Church once again to their annual sausage dinner. I have been saying I just can’t eat much at a time anymore, but I did just fine at this dinner and returned to my home as stuffed as a Thanksgiving turkey.

I suppose that is why I’ve been musing about Thanksgiving and ‘food’ a lot this afternoon.

I’ve arrived at the conclusion that it really isn’t the things we have that bring us peace and satisfaction, but rather how we look at our life and the people and things that touch our lives.

Let me share a few examples of where my thoughts have been this afternoon. Anyone who has lost a loved one and is now living alone has days in which the loneliness seem to envelope them. At such times, we

Doris Gvillo have two choices. We can settle into a gloomy mood and ‘enjoy’ having our little ‘pity party’ or we can look back, remember and rejoice in all the years we shared with our loved ones and how blessed we were to have had those years.

Perhaps you view getting your home ready for the holidays and just know that there aren’t enough days in the week to clean, decorate, cook and do all the little things that make Thanksgiving or any holiday have that special feeling.

Rather, we might look at how blessed we are to have a home, modern conveniences and family.

We need to open our minds and our hearts and view the many, many people in our world who have no homes, who are glad to have a tent or a blanket to shield them from nature.

These folks can’t turn on a faucet and have pure drinking water.

Some walk a mile or more to get water from a dirty stream…and we are feeling ‘busy’.

We are ill and are rushed to a hospital where we have immediate surgery and in a short time are back home recuperating and soon back to our normal lifestyle. Are we going to delight in our ‘illness’ as we relate our pain and suffering? Of course, it is normal to talk about it, but not to remember and rehash it forever.

Wouldn’t it be a better choice to give

thanks for the doctors and many care givers who helped us overcome our health issue?

When my children were small, there were days when I fretted and fumed because I was always falling over toys and ‘stuff’. Wouldn’t my time have been better spent rejoicing that my family was blessed to provide my ‘two healthy children’ with playthings?

When I have been out to eat and not particularly thrilled with my choice of food for the evening, I’ll usually bring it home. And sometimes after I’ve reheated it for a meal the next day, it still doesn’t appeal to me and, yes, I’ll throw it out. Why then do I fret about the cost of the wasted food instead of realizing that I am so blessed when millions around the world are hungry?

I have often in past years spoken to my children and grandchildren when they were complaining about petty little things and suggested that what they really needed was ‘an attitude adjustment’. I might be making a harsh judgment here but sometimes I feel that we as adults often are looking at our lives in negative ways.

If we would just take an honest look into our closets, could we really say, “I don’t have a thing to wear”? Think of those places where a flood, hurricane, earthquake, tornado or some natural disaster has destroyed homes, villages, and entire small countries. Those individuals have lost not only their homes, but also many of their family

and most probably their jobs. I find myself wondering how they would view our lives.

I feel that this article might be a bit negative and we really should be rejoicing as we have just celebrated Thanksgiving with those we love. I don’t mean to put a damper on these good feelings, but rather to remind us that ‘life isn’t so much what happens to us or what we have or don’t have, but rather how we choose to view our lives.

In the book of Thessalonians we are reminded to “In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

It isn’t so easy giving thanks when you have lost a loved one, when you have lost your job, or when you have received a diagnosis of a serious disease. I lived a lot of years and I’m finally coming to the conclusion that perhaps we can be thankful for the fact that whatever happens, we know we are never alone. God is there and will guide and sustain us in our darkest moments and surely that is something for which to be grateful.

In Psalms it reminds us “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures for ever.”

I just hope that however as you remember your Thanksgiving day this year… whether you ate too much, or whether something about the dinner wasn’t what you’d like, you will remember those who prepared the food, those who cleaned up after the dinner, the farmers who were responsible for growing the items served, and most of all the God who made it all possible.

And perhaps, most of all, that you will remember that Thanksgiving Day will come again, but the spirit of Thanksgiving should be incorporated into our lives each and every day. It isn’t a one-day occasion but the way we choose both to view and to live our lives. I’ve heard this said many, many times, but once more can’t hurt. Thanksgiving should really be ‘Thanks living.”

On Campus Education notebook Lewis and Clark named a Military Friendly School for 2011 GI Jobs Magazine has named Lewis and Clark Community College a Military Friendly School for 2011, an honor that ranks the college in the top 15 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide.

As a Military Friendly School, Lewis and Clark was included in the magazine’s 2011 Guide to Military Friendly Schools, which was published in September 2010 a n d i s o n l i ne a t w w w. militaryfriendlyschools.com.

Through its Veterans Services Department, the college helps veterans and service members get the most out of their civilian lives and reach their personal and education goals.

Through advisement and counseling, Veterans Services works to make sure student veterans are aware of the benefits and tools available to help them. Department manager Terry Lane, a veteran himself, is available to assist those veterans who need individual attention or assistance with unique issues. Lane will also focus on outreach, recruitment and serving as the veteran liaison with other campus departments, faculty and staff.

Lewis and Clark also offers an opportunity for veterans on campus to network with one another through the Veterans Club, a student organization.

“Since the start of the club last year, we have focused on sharing knowledge about, and experience with, benefits available to veterans and mservice members. Sharing information is a great way for club members to feel like they are getting something out of attending the club meetings,” said Ryann Clagg, financial aid advisor and club coadvisor with Lane. “In time, the club hopes to build more communitybased relationships as we have recently done with American Legion Post 126.”

In addition, Wilson coordinated the University’s initiative on diversity, “Pathways to Harmony,” which helped promote greater sensitivity to and positive awareness of gender, race, culture,

lifestyle and disability issues on the SIUE campus.

I n a d d i t i o n t o Wi l s o n , t h e ceremony will include SIUE Provost P a u l F e rg u s o n ; N o r t h e a s t e r n Illinois University President Sharon Hahs, former SIUE Provost; SIUE

Assistant Provost for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion Venessa Brown; and Eugene Redmond, poet laureate of East St. Louis and professor emeritus of English language and literature at SIUE, among several others.

Retired Assistant Provost Rudy Wilson honored Several educators, including those from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, gathered recently to pay tribute to retired SIUE Assistant Provost for Cultural and Social Diversity Rudy Wilson by presenting a book of essays that was published in his honor. The book, Multiculturalism in the Age of the Mosaic: Essays in Honor of Rudolph G. Wilson (Nova Publishing, 2010), will be presented at the ceremony in the Hickory-Hackberry Room on the second floor of SIUE’s Morris University Center, A collection of essays that address issues of multiculturalism and diversity, it was edited by Michael O. Afọláyan, a former SIUE faculty member who is now assistant director for Academic Affairs for the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

“This collection is a festschrift (a book honoring a respected person) that takes scholarship in multiculturalism one step beyond s t e re o t y p i c a l d i s c o u r s e s a n d procedural dimensions,” Afọláyan said. “With a conglomerate of scholars from fields of education, anthropology, linguistics, and allied professions around the world providing critical perspectives from their expertise, what we see here is a rare scholarship that accentuates humanities at its best.

“A meta-textual document, this work provides the definition of ‘multiculturalism’ in its contents as well as in its contexts. It is as practical as it is theoretical,” Afọláyan said.

“This is one book that will pass the test of time and broaden the horizon of scholarship in libraries as well as in classrooms, research desks and in international policy making activities.”

During his tenure in the Provost’s office, Assistant Provost Wilson was responsible for SIUE’s Minority Recruitment and Retention Program designed to recruit and retain outstanding minority faculty and students. He also sponsored programs dealing with “at risk” learning, mentor training, pedagogy and research, and was coordinator of the Johnetta Haley Scholarship

“127 Hours”

This strangely serves as a persuasive tourism promotion for getting away from it all and going exploring in middle-ofnowhere 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-de-force 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.

“Unstoppable”

Finally, we’ve found the ideal use for Tony Scott’s hyperkinetic, headache-inducing filmmaking style: a movie about a runaway train, barreling through small Pennsylvania towns filled with hardworking, unsuspecting people, at 80 mph. And threatening schoolchildren. Oh, and the train is a half-mile long and it’s carrying hazardous material. Sounds insanely implausible, but that’s part of the fun: How many layers of danger can they pile on here? Scott starts slowly and steadily cranks up the tension, and given the escalating action, his trademark tricks make sense. The grainy camerawork and various exposures, the snap zooms and quick edits all enhance the incessant sense of motion. The train rumbles and growls, rattles and clangs, and we’re in the middle of it all — on the tracks, between the wheels, underneath and on top of the cars.

It’s overwhelming — but in a good way. While the premise may sound crazy — or like something out of a star-studded ‘70s disaster movie — it really happened. Mark Bomback’s script is based on a 2001 incident in Ohio in which a train carrying hazardous cargo traveled 66 miles without a crew. But because this is a movie, the speeds are even faster, the danger is even greater, and there’s only one man who can stop it and save all those innocent lives: Denzel Washington. With some help from Chris Pine.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of action and peril, and some language.

RUNNING TIME: 98 minutes.

December 2, 2010

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”

Fear and loathing, doom and gloom permeate nearly every minute of the beginning of the end of the behemoth boy-wizard series. This seventh film in the franchise, directed once again

by David Yates (who previously helmed parts five and six, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”), begins with nearly suffocating tension, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) finds himself face-to-face with his destiny: being the target of the evil Lord Voldemort’s (Ralph Fiennes) deadly wrath. Friends and allies will have to band together to protect him; some of them won’t make it out alive. Finally, the weight of Harry’s past and the frightening unknown of his future, as detailed so thoroughly and vividly in J.K. Rowling’s beloved books, are about to collide. Yates’ film is gorgeously bleak, with sprawling, end-of-the-Earth shots of foreboding mountains and lonely beaches from Oscarnominated cinematographer Eduardo Serra (“Girl With a Pearl Earring”) that reflect the characters’ moods. The films have grown darker in tone and theme, and given this heightened emotional challenge, the three young stars (Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) once again rise to it. Having spent half their lives in these characters, their interactions with one another seem more comfortable and believable than ever. But because “Part 1” sets up the final showdown in “Part 2” — which Yates also directed, due in July — there’s lots of exposition in Steve Kloves’ script, lots of characters and plot lines introduced and reintroduced from films past. While it’s thrilling off the top, it repeatedly sags in the middle before ultimately picking up at the cliffhanger climax.

RATED: PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Made in Dagenham” Sally Hawkins does her best Sally Field impression here,

playing a plucky Ford factory worker who rouses her fellow female employees to go on strike in demand of equal pay. But whereas “Norma Rae” had some realism and grit to it, “Made in Dagenham” is a by-the-numbers tale of women taking on the big boys, underdogs beating the big corporation. An inspiring

story, sure, but director Nigel Cole (“Calendar Girls”) and writer William Ivory tell it without offering much surprise.

The performances from Hawkins and co-stars Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson and especially Rosamund Pike are what elevate the material above its predictability and cliches. “Made in Dagenham” is based on real events that took place in 1968 at the Ford factory in Dagenham, England, along the Thames River about 12 miles outside London. The 187 women who worked there — “girls” as they were called, regardless of age — toiled away stitching car seat upholstery. But the auto maker deemed them unskilled laborers and proposed a pay cut. Urged to air the women’s grievances, Hawkins’ Rita O’Grady surprises herself, and everyone else, by declaring a strike. Watching this normally reserved wife and mother of two discover a voice she never knew she had offers some exciting moments, and Hawkins, who was so infectiously charming in “Happy-GoLucky,” is delightful here, as well.

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

“The Next Three Days”

The main dynamic you have to accept — the one that the entire story, all the drama, all the risk hinge upon — is that Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks actually belong together.

Always strong individually, they make no sense as a couple.

Chalk it up to miscasting, a lack of chemistry, whatever: It’s simply too hard to buy them as husband and wife. And that’s a problem, since it undermines our ability to become emotionally immersed in the life-threatening danger in which they find themselves. As a result, Paul Haggis’ thriller, based on the 2008 French film “Anything for Her,” ends up feeling even more implausible than it might have. A couple of exciting chase sequences in the film’s third act and intense moments within Crowe and Banks’ performances, as well as one great scene involving Liam Neeson, unfortunately can’t salvage the whole endeavor. The latest movie from the Oscar-winning “Crash” director finds Banks’ Lara Brennan being charged and convicted of killing her boss in a Pittsburgh parking garage. Once all of Lara’s appeals have run out and she’s on the verge of being transferred to a state penitentiary, her husband, John, hatches a scheme to break her out of the joint. John, mind you, is a mildmannered community college English professor who already has his hands full caring for the couple’s 6-year-old son, Luke (Ty Simpkins), alone.

RATED: PG-13 for violence, drug material, language, some sexuality and thematic elements.

Movies Performances lift “Made in Dagenham”

By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press Sally Hawkins does her best Sally Field impression in “Made in Dagenham,” playing a plucky Ford factory worker who rouses her fellow female employees to go on strike in demand of equal pay.

But whereas “Norma Rae” had some realism and grit to it, “Made in Dagenham” is a by-the-numbers tale of women taking on the big boys, underdogs beating the big corporation. An inspiring story, sure, but director Nigel Cole (“Calendar Girls”) and writer William Ivory tell it without offering much surprise.

The performances from Hawkins and co-stars Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson and especially Rosamund Pike are what elevate the material above its predictability and cliches.

“Made in Dagenham” is based on real events that took place in 1968 at the Ford factory in Dagenham, England, along the Thames River about 12 miles outside London.

The 187 women who worked there — “girls” as they were called, regardless of age — stitched car seat upholstery, toiling in a setting so sweltering, they systematically stripped down to their bras as soon as they stepped onto the factory floor. It’s an amusing bit whenever a man walks into the room and reacts with embarrassment.

In this undated publicity image released by Sony Pictures Classics, Sally Hawkins is shown in a scene from, “Made in Dagenham.” encourages them to voice their grievances, and taps Hawkins’ Rita O’Grady to join him and shop steward Connie (Geraldine James) at a meeting with management.

Rather then sit quietly and nod at appropriate times, as she’s been instructed, Rita finds she

has something to say. Watching this normally reserved wife and mother of two discover a voice she never knew she had offers some exciting moments, and Hawkins, who was so infectiously charming in “Happy-Go-Lucky,” is delightful here, as well.

But when Ford’s head of industrial relations, Peter Hopkins (Rupert Graves), responds with only minor concessions to the women’s demands, Rita again surprises herself, and everyone else, when she declares that they’re going on strike.

One day leads to several days, and

eventually the plant is forced to stop operating, hurting the livelihood of the tens of thousands of men who work there, including her husband, Eddie (Danny Mays). The guys were supportive if vaguely amused by their action at first, but this really hurts them.

Potter lays groundwork for big finish

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge First of all, $125 million across an opening weekend is fantastic, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I is not an excellent movie. It’s good, of course, but a big haul like that doesn’t make the m o v i e ( s e e : T h e Tw i l i g h t Franchise).

Rather, I see it as a bloated picture that features two or three excellent scenes, a couple of terrible ones, and as nothing but a stepping stone to what everyone really wants to see - that Battle of Hogwarts at the end of Part II. A big fan of the source novel, like millions of others, I was pleased with Warner Bros. when they announced the split into two movies. Could they dare leave anything out? Turns out they could have after all.

The movie was made for hardcore fans and that’s how I’m going to have to write this review.

Pardon my lack of explanation in some cases, but that’s how I

December 2, 2010

felt when the movie opens with dozens of characters I couldn’t name by sight. As Ron, Hermione, and Harry infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, I got lost amid the bluster of witches and wizards streaming into their workplace.

When the dust settled, though, I found Bill Nighy (Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgoeur) to be a great addition to the cast. His suspicious snarl was delightful.

The plot of this story was rather dry, if you recall the weeks of camping that filled the tome’s many early chapters. After an exciting escape from Privet Drive, our intrepid trio of heroes find themselves on the run from danger.

They flee Ron’s home, the Burrow (in an excruciatingly fakelooking scene) after the fall of the Ministry and the unsafe changes that were imposed at their school, long a safe haven from the dangers Harry finds commonplace in his life.

Whilst on the down-low, they attempt to seek out the remaining

Horcruxes, the tiny fragments of The Dark Wizard’s soul, so he can be defeated. They also learn of Voldemort’s search for The Deathly Hallows, a triumvirate of supercharged magical items including a stone that grants resurrection to the dead, a cloak that renders its wearer invisible, and the immortal, undefeatable wand made of elder wood. He’s looking for only the best weapons to take out his 17-year old foe.

The Deathly Hallows Part I covers roughly the first 2/3 of the book, coming to an end as Dobby, the former House Elf (voiced by Toby Jones), leads a spirited breakout from Malfoy Manor and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) locates the Elder Wand in the crypt of former Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon).

In between, we’re left with a lot of intimate time with three characters we love very much. Ron (Rupert Grint) has the toughest time resisting the evil they find in the Locket Horcrux. It even sends him away from his friends during the

climax of the story, before he comes charging back (in the best scene of the movie) to battle a inky cloud of malevolence. Hermione (Emma Watson) uses her smarts to keep the boys out of danger, but shows greater vulnerability here. The sweetest addition to the movie was a comforting dance Harry leads her on after Ron’s departure.

Ultimately, it’s Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) that we’ve come to see.

He’s the leader of this team and a boy with much responsibility put on his shoulders. He must face the fact

that his friends will never give up on their bid to assist him in his quest.

He is too utterly ordinary not to need their help, which is why Harry is the quintessential hero. He’s a common guy in extraordinary times facing tough situations. I can’t wait ‘til July to see how this all ends.

••• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I runs 160 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images, and brief sensuality. I give this film three stars out of four.

Plans unfold for royal wedding LONDON (AP) — Pomp and circumstance — what “Britain does best” — will rule the day when Prince William and Kate Middleton get married April 29 at Westminster Abbey.

The young couple on Tuesday rejected the notion that austere times will force them to pare down the royal festivities. The church itself is free, at least.

William and Kate ended days of suspense by choosing the abbey, a grand venue where members of the House of Windsor have been crowned, married, mourned and buried. The abbey was also the site of the funeral for William’s beloved mother, Princess Diana.

Palace officials said the two were on “cloud nine” with their wedding choice and want the nation to share their joy.

“We know that the world will be watching on the 29th of April, and the couple are very, very keen indeed that the spectacle should be a classic example of what Britain does best,” said William’s private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.

William and Kate chose the centuries-old abbey in central London because despite its size — it holds 2,200 people — it has a sense of intimacy, particularly at the altar,

which stands at the head of a smaller, partly enclosed space called the sanctuary.

The date — after Lent and Easter but before the 90th birthday of William’s grandfather, Prince Philip — allows the pair to have a spring wedding. It also is the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, whose name Middleton shares.

Best of all for Brits, the day, a Friday, will be a public holiday.

St. James’ Palace, the offices of Princes William and Harry, stressed that the Middletons and the royal family would pick up the bill for the wedding — the flowers, the reception, the honeymoon — everything apart from security and transport costs. The couple say they are mindful of the country’s tough times.

Much public money already flows to Britain’s royal family. Taxpayers sent the royal household 38 million pounds ($60 million) last year, and the queen also receives 7.9 million pounds ($12.5 million) each year to pay for staff and other costs.

However, the family earns millions a year from its vast land and property portfolios.

Prince Charles’ large estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, earned him 17 million pounds

($29 million) last year. The royal family pays millions in tax on its earnings.

But while all parties involved in the wedding want to ensure that a balance is struck between an enjoyable day and current budget woes, analysts such as Patrick Jephson, longtime private secretary to the late Princess Diana, say the austerity argument “doesn’t cut it.”

“This is a future king and a future queen, this is the most famous young royal in the world, and it will indubitably be compared to his mother ’s wedding. So for all these reasons, the palace won’t want to be seen as downgrading it,” Jephson said.

H e w o n d e re d w h a t a s p e c t s o f t h e pageantry of a royal wedding could be cut without disappointing masses of people.

“What do you want to lose?” he said. “The number of bridesmaids? The ride in the coach? The mounted escort? The Beefeaters?

You can do it, but you’ll regret it, and people around the world will be disappointed.

“This is about making people happy, not about wearing a hairshirt,” he said.

There’s no charge for the venue, but there will be competition for space. Many of the abbey’s seats will be allocated for diplomatic

and protocol reasons, leaving relatively few for the people William and Kate really want to invite.

People around the world are awaiting the spectacle, including Reza Mohammadkhani, 41, from Los Angeles, who was outside the historic church on Tuesday.

“I love the whole kingdom thing,” he said.

The abbey has centuries of royal history.

Queen Elizabeth II was married there, as was her mother.

But the newlyweds-to-be also have to confront a host of difficult memories associated with the abbey. William was 15 when he walked behind his mother’s coffin at Diana’s funeral in the abbey in September 1997.

“It must be hard for William to be in the abbey, but it’s just another way to keep his mother with him I suppose,” said Jackie Lentendre, 33, a mother from West Brompton in southwest London.

Several other members of William’s family have wed there, including the queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, in 1960, William’s aunt Princess Anne in 1973 and his uncle Prince Andrew in 1986. All three marriages ended in divorce.

President Obama writes children’s book NEW YORK (AP) — He’s the leader of the free world, and he’s won a Nobel Peace Prize. But only now, by one measure, is Barack Obama finally truly famous: He’s written a children’s book.

With “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters,” a picture book for readers three and up that hit bookstores Tuesday (it was announced in September), the president joins a long list of famous folk who’ve penned children’s books: Madonna, John Travolta, Katie Couric, Will Smith. Paul McCartney, Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jay Leno. Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, John Lithgow.

Even Obama’s current secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wrote one — when she was first lady, a book of children’s letters to White House pets. The late Ted Kennedy wrote about Washington as viewed by his dog. On the other side of the political spectrum, conservative commentator Glenn Beck published a Christmas picture book last year, and Lynne Cheney has written several children’s books.

Obama, who is donating his proceeds to a scholarship fund for children of disabled and fallen soldiers administered by the Fisher House Foundation, isn’t even the only president to pen a children’s book. Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter wrote books for young people, and John F. Kennedy had a young readers edition of his “Profiles in Courage.”

Obama actually wrote “Of Thee I Sing” in 2008, after he was elected but before taking office, publishers said in September. It is illustrated

by Loren Long, whose many credits

December 2, 2010

include writing and illustrating the children’s stories “Otis” and “Drummer Boy.” The book, published by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, was already selling well Tuesday — it was No. 3 on Amazon. com’s children’s best-seller list, and No. 15 on the site’s overall list.

But Obama, whose previous works are million sellers (“The Audacity of Hope” and the memoir “Dreams From My Father”) wasn’t the top-ranked presidential author on the overall list: George W. Bush’s “Decision Points” was No. 1.

On the cover of “Of Thee I Sing” is a whimsical drawing of Malia and Sasha, skipping along with Bo, their beloved dog.

“Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?” the book begins. It proceeds to celebrate 13 American heroes and heroines.

“Have I told you that you are creative?” Obama asks, before describing painter Georgia O’Keeffe, who “helped us see big beauty in what was small.”

Albert Einstein, Obama writes, “turned pictures in his mind into great advances in science.” Jackie Robinson, the pioneering black

major league baseball player, “showed us all how to turn fear to respect and respect to love.”

Sioux leader Sitting Bull, he writes, “healed broken hearts and broken promises.”

Above left, author Krista Wilkinson, left, enjoys her first British Christmas, even with the silly paper crown – a must for the U.K. holiday. Above at right, the author's husband, Pete, and their daughter Grace prepare for another trip across the pond for Christmas last year.

A Christmas tradition across the pond

By KRISTA WILKINSON For The Edge

T

hey say there’s no place like home, and no other time is that more true than at Christmas.

This year, I will be spending Christmas here at home with my family for the first time in five years and to say that I’m getting excited is definitely an understatement.

You see, back in the summer of 2005, I married the Englishman of my dreams and shortly after the wedding jetted off to my new life in the U.K. That first year we did manage to make it back to the States for Christmas but thanks to the exorbitant cost of plane tickets at Christmas, every year since then I have spent the holidays in “merry olde England”.

In total, I have spent five Christmases in the U.K. over the years but none have been more memorable than my first one way back in 1999 when I spent nine months there as a 19-year-old study abroad student at the University of Reading. Like most students, I was skint (that means broke in Brit speak) and so couldn’t afford an extra plane ticket home.

Instead, I packed up my dorm room (they kicked us all out over the Christmas break to make way for conference

December 2, 2010

attendees) and headed off to Derby to spend a few days with my then-boyfriend (now husband) at his student house before we both hopped a train to his parents’ house near Cambridge.

I won’t go into too many details, but let’s just say that seven university guys in one student house doesn’t exactly make for ideal living conditions.

They’re choice of, ahem, “wallpaper” for the bathroom was interesting. Put it this way, I found out far more about British “glamour models” as they’re called over there than I ever wanted to know.

Needless to say, I was more than relieved when we arrived at the parents’ house.

Unfortunately, I was also sick as a dog.

I had caught a nasty case of tonsillitis complete with sore throat, fever and a croaky voice.

Not exactly the ideal way to spend your first Christmas away from home.

Nevertheless, I was eager to find out what a proper British Christmas was really like. For starters, I was surprised to learn that turkey (as opposed to a classic Dickensian goose) is the traditional food of choice for the festive season. Besides turkey for Christmas, this was also the year I was introduced to Brussels sprouts.

I can honestly say I had never seen, let alone actually eaten a Brussels sprout before this moment. They were never a traditional part of my family’s Christmas

dinner when I was growing up. So here I was on Christmas Day eager to make a good impression on my boyfriend’s parents.

“Do you like sprouts, Krista?” his mum casually asks. “Um, I don’t really know.

I’ve never tasted one,” I reply.

The result of that conversation is a plate piled high with 12 (yes, you heard me, 12!) Brussels sprouts. I politely nibbled one and immediately found out that I was definitely NOT a fan. I left the rest on the plate. Unfortunately, I found out too late that at my boyfriend’s house, one does not leave food on one’s plate – particularly if it is Christmas dinner.

His nana, a wonderfully forthright woman of 92, honed in on my leftover sprouts like a missile.

She announced to the entire table that I hadn’t finished my sprouts and added that, in her day, nothing was left on the plate – not even the fat! With all eyes upon me, I nervously admitted that while the sprouts were OK, they weren’t my favorite.

The conversation then revolved around what was to become of my wasted sprouts.

The birds wouldn’t have them (smart birds, I say). I laughed anxiously as the sweat began to pop out on my forehead. Luckily, my boyfriend came to my rescue like a knight in shining armour and gallantly offered to finish off my uneaten sprouts.

Phew. Crisis averted.

Sprouts aside, I enjoyed my first Christmas experience in England, particularly the bucks fizz (mimosas), Baileys and mulled wine.

In my family, the most exciting drink you’ll get is a glass of virgin eggnog or maybe a mug of spiced cranberry tea.

Here, I was greeted with bucks fizz at breakfast, a mid-morning glass of sloe gin, wine with dinner, an after dinner sherry and in the evening, I met my new best friend – Baileys with ice. For the first time in my life, I was tipsy before 5 p.m.

Since that first British Christmas, I eventually became much more accustomed to celebrating on the other side of the pond.

Thankfully, I love roast turkey so I didn’t mind eating it twice in the space of four weeks.

My mother-in-law got the hint that first year and has made a special serving of broccoli for me instead of sprouts ever since. Bless her!

I’m also quite happy to pose for photos in my silly paper crown after a couple of glasses of her homemade sloe gin.

Obviously, it wasn’t the same as being back home with my family for Christmas, but it was nice to experience such a special holiday somewhere different.

However, this year I am finally back home for Christmas and I’ll happily raise a glass of virgin eggnog to you and wish you all a very Happy Christmas.

Cheers everyone!

Travel Travel briefs UK’s red doubledecker bus getting a makeover LONDON (AP) — London’s mayor is unveiling the latest incarnation of a British icon.

Boris Johnson says the fuelefficient shiny red double-decker bus is expected to hit the streets of London the same year as the 2012 Olympics.

An earlier model, London’s wellknown Routemaster, was retired from general service in 2005. Its replacements — boxy, modern double-deckers and giant articulated buses — have largely failed to win Londoners’ affection.

Johnson spent Thursday morning showing off a life-size model of the new bus — one that conserves the rounded curves of the muchmissed Routemaster model. He said standing at the back of the bus “brings back a sense of nostalgia.”

The new buses are being designed and built by U.K.-based Wrightbus and Heatherwick Studio.

Delta to fly to London from Boston BOSTON (AP) — Delta Air Lines Inc. says federal and European authorities have granted its request to operate daily, year-round flights b e t w e e n L o n d o n ’ s H e a t h ro w and Boston’s Logan international airports.

The Atlanta-based carrier says the new flights will begin March 27, 2011. They will also include trips from Miami international airport to Heathrow.

The new routes will be part of Delta’s trans-Atlantic joint venture with Air France-KLM and Alitalia.

They will bring to four the number of trans-Atlantic routes operated by the joint venture from Boston. Routes offered from Miami will increase to five.

Delta applied for the rights to serve Boston and Miami from Heathrow earlier this year. It was part of a divestiture of slots required following the U.S. and E.U. governments approval of an immunized alliance between American Airlines and British Airways.

Group: Mountain travelers still seeking bargains DENVER (AP) — A research group says mountain lodges and hotels will have to offer unique, well-priced, well-timed specials to attract skiers and others looking for bargains this winter.

Ralf Garrison of the Mountain Travel Research Program, or MTRiP, offered a winter outlook Wednesday.

He said economic indicators have

December 2, 2010

been volatile, and customers will need a push to boost demand for vacations.

He says the market appears strong for visits from customers within driving distance, but it’s still tough for customers who fly in.

MTRiP says a sample of properties in Colorado, Utah, California and Oregon shows that as of Oct. 31, reservations for November through April are up 2.7 percent from the same period last season, and room rates are flat.

Dutch plan to stop tourists from buying pot AMSTERDAM (AP) — The new conservative Dutch government w a n t s t o f o rc e t h e c o u n t r y ’ s marijuana cafes to become “members only” clubs, a move that would effectively block foreigners from buying the drug.

If the idea ever becomes reality — it would be legally complicated and politically divisive — it would be the latest of the country’s liberal policies to be scrapped or curtailed as the Dutch rethink the limits of their famed tolerance.

While marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, it has been sold openly in designated cafes for decades, and police make no arrests for possession of small amounts.

Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten said that in the future, only residents of Dutch cities will be allowed to purchase cannabis. “Not tourists. We don’t like that,” he

said on state television in remarks broadcast Wednesday.

His spokesman Wim van der Weegen said Thursday Opstelten intended to “give a political signal.”

He said details of the plan are still being worked out and it will be presented to parliament sometime next year.

“This Cabinet wants to bring marijuana cafes back to what they were once intended to be: for people who live in the immediate area, not large-scale criminal trade and not tourism,” he said.

The city of Amsterdam, which has an image as a haven for weed smokers and potentially stands to lose a major tourist attraction if the policy is enforced, is not enthusiastic about the proposal. “ We ’ re l o o k i n g a t i t n o w, considering it, and a formal response is coming,” said spokesman Bas Bruijn.

Last year, then-Mayor Job Cohen said he feared a system requiring users to obtain passes “risks increasing street trade and ’illegal’ sales points.”

Marijuana cafe owners scoffed at the idea of member passes as political posturing and unworkable in practice. “It’s not going to happen,” said Michael Veling, spokesman for the Union of Cannabis Retailers and owner of the 4:20 cafe in Amsterdam.

“I’m not worried because I have something in my head that’s called common sense.”

He predicted it will prove difficult for the government to make rules regulating marijuana cafes without first legalizing marijuana.

European law forbids treating citizens of one European Union country different from that of another, and marijuana shop owners will have difficulty knowing who is a local resident without access to city government databases.

The new Dutch government that took office in October is comprised of two conservative parties with the support of the far-right anti-Islam party of populist Geert Wilders.

Crime, immigration and safety issues have dominated Dutch political debate for a decade, l e a d i n g t o m e a s u re s s u c h a s imprisoning asylum seekers, outlawing psychedelic mushrooms, mandating citizenship classes for immigrants and forcing people to carry ID cards.

Amsterdam has resisted enforcing some of the conservative trends.

For instance, it rejected a 2008 ban on marijuana cafes near schools that would have led to the closure of nearly all the bars, commonly known as “coffee shops.”

But it has accepted others. In 2006, the city shut down a third of its legal brothels, saying they were a magnet for criminals.

Amsterdam’s new mayor Eberhard van der Laan was the most prominent among Dutch municipal leaders this month in attempting to enforce a new nationwide law criminalizing “squatting” in unoccupied buildings.

Dutch marijuana policy has been a sore point in relations with the U.S. and Europe over the years, and increasingly within the country itself. Dutch cities in the far south

complain they suffer from crime caused by the illicit marijuana trade as German, Belgian and French dealers drive to border towns such as Maastricht to purchase supplies.

According to U.N. data, the use of marijuana by Dutch nationals is in the mid-range of norms for developed countries — higher than in Sweden or Japan but lower than in Britain, France or the U.S.

AirTran launches winter fare sale ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — AirTran Airways said it launched a winter fare sale on Tuesday amid efforts by several airlines to fill seats between Nov. 26 and Feb. 9, a traditionally slow travel period aside from two blackout periods.

AirTran said it would sell some short, off-peak flights for as little as $44 each way, although seats are limited and might not be available on all flights.

Days around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are blocked out — Nov. 27-29 and Dec. 18-Jan. 4.

The nonrefundable fares are available through Thursday and must be for travel at least 10 days after the date of purchase. The cheapest fares are for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The airline, a unit of AirTran Holdings Inc., said sample, offpeak, one-way fares include $44 between Atlanta and Raleigh, N.C.; $69 between New York and Indianapolis; and $124 between Atlanta and Las Vegas.

TSO founder, producer and writer Paul O’Neill explains, “When someone goes to a TSO concert, we don’t want them to walk away saying ‘that was a great show’ or ‘that was worth it’ or even ‘that was the best show I’ve seen in a long time.’ We want them to say, ‘Man, that the best show ever; we just ripped that band off.’”

Tuning in Chamber Chorus plans Christmas Concert The Saint Louis Chamber Chorus continues its 55th season with its annual Christmas concert titled “Traditions: Christmas From Ancient to Modern.” The program compares ancient and modern arrangements of Latin, English and German carols and features two world premieres.

“Traditions: Christmas From Ancient to Modern” will be presented at 3 p.m. on Dec. 19.

In recognition of the concert’s venue, the Chamber Chorus will sing various arrangements of Martin Luther ’s poem “Vom Himmel Hoch,” originally written for his own children. Australian Clare Maclean, the Chorus’s composer-in-residence, offers a newly commissioned piece employing Luther’s original German words, while Britain’s David Bednall sets the entire poem in English. A much earlier Scottish translation of Luther ’s words will also be sung, with the audience having the opportunity to compare the 16th century version with one featuring rich harmonies added by Missouriborn composer, Virgil Thomson.

The other world premiere on the program, Russian Yakov Gubanov’s “The Garden of Roses,” is part of an exploration of how the image of a rose has often been applied to Jesus. Fellow Russian Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, German Michael Praetorius and England’s Herbert Howells also contribute works to

December 2, 2010

this musical examination.

The program will be rounded out by other modern arrangements of ancient words by Vaughan Williams, William Walton and the Chamber Chorus’s music director, Philip Barnes.

Join the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus as it explores ”Christmas From Ancient to Modern,” Sunday, December 19 at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. Parking is free. For more information about the concert, and tickets, call 636-458-4343 General admission tickets are $35 each. Student tickets are $10 each.

Lambert’s Cafe

A dining experience if there ever was one

By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge

C

a l l i n g L a m b e r t ’s C a f e a restaurant is like calling Elvis a singer or King Kong an ape – accurate, but certainly a long way from complete.

Anchored in Sikeston, Mo., Lambert’s is an event, an experience and an institution.

It’s where servers throw rolls.

According to legend, Lambert’s first opened as a small cafe, with seating for 41, in Sikeston, Mo., in 1942.

Earl and Agnes Lambert served up their own brand of home cooking until Earl’s death in 1976.

That’s when their son Norman, and his wife Patti, formed a partnership with Agnes. That was also the first year Norman threw a roll.

Again, according to legend, on a particularly busy day in 1976, Norman was handing out rolls – as is traditionally done in restaurants – when he was unable to navigate the crowd and a patron yelled across the cafe to just “throw the dang thing.” Norman did and history was made.

In 1981, Lambert’s Cafe moved to a location that lasted just seven years as the desire for good food – and “throwed” rolls – forced the family to its current location just west of Interstate 55.

Two other Lambert’s Cafes have sprouted since then – one in Ozark, Mo., near Springfield, and another in Foley, Ala., just north of Gulf Shores.

The “throwed” rolls have helped make Lambert’s world famous as Norman claims, rightfully so, we suppose, his restaurant was the first to offer such an attraction.

The rolls, by the way, are excellent.

December 2, 2010

Simply raise your hand when a tray of them rolls out and a server will send one flying your way – from 6 feet to 60 feet.

The rolls can be smeared with apple butter and/or sorghum, a type of molasses that, while sweetly delicious, could easily substitute for super glue.

Two other amenities separate Lambert’s from the traditional dining experience.

First is the 32-ounce mug in which your drink is served. It’s a great value, but it can result in a pit stop or two during that three-hour drive back to Madison County.

The second is the pass-arounds.

Suspender-clad servers walk through the restaurant offering free helpings of

fried potatoes with onions, macaroni with tomatoes, black-eyed peas and fried okra.

The potatoes are unbelievable, don’t pass them up.

The menu features an assortment of country cooking – think Cracker Barrel, only a heck of a lot better and a heck of a lot more.

There are sandwiches – pulled pork, hot beef and hamburgers – and chicken selections – gizzards, livers, wings, with dumplings and straight-up fried.

Meat dishes include: chicken-fried round steak, beef liver, meatloaf, roast beef, hamburger steak, rib-eye steak and barbecue ribs.

The exterior and interior of Lambert’s Cafe in Sikeston, Mo.

There’s hog jowl and polish sausage, a barbecue pork steak and the XXL Center Cut Ham, a piece of meat so big it reminds you of the one Fred Flintstone ordered at the drive-in restaurant.

Lambert’s also offers shrimp, catfish filets and grilled salmon.

Most of the entries come with a choice of two vegetables and you’re going to have a tough time deciding which two.

The selections, which aren’t really limited to just vegetables but are listed on the menu as such, include: a baked potato, candied yams, cottage cheese, baby carrots, cole slaw, turnip greens, sliced peaches, corn, baked beans, white beans, green beans, sliced beets, fried apples, homemade mashed potatoes (with white gravy or brown), potato salad, cold chunky applesauce, pineapple walnut salad and cucumbers and onions.

There is also a children’s menu.

No matter what you order, you will get a lot of food. Plenty of food. A load of food.

And while you’d think all of the extras and atmosphere would cost a little extra, they don’t.

Most meals are in the $9.99 to $13.99 range.

Lambert’s is about the size of an aircraft hangar – outside and in. Still, unless you arrive really early or really late, you can expect a wait.

There are games for kids to play and an amazing assortment of old photos, license plates and old-time advertising signs to look at.

Lambert’s is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The restaurant accepts cash and checks, but does not take credit cards.

The Bully's Smokehouse Express drive-thru location on Route 159 in Maryville opened in late August.

Bully's Smokehouse branches out

By BILL TUCKER Of The Edge

T

he differences between sit-down, table service and drive-thru, carry-out dining are many.

Claire Brinley and the crew from Bully’s Smokehouse are learning just how many.

In late August, Bully’s branched out by opening a drive-thru location on Route 159 in Maryville in what was once a Dubbles’ Hamburger restaurant.

Brinley, her husband Al, daughter Candy Orloski and son-in-law Shawn Orloski are the owners and operators of the Bully’s chain, which includes sit-down restaurants in Edwardsville and Columbia.

So far, Bully's Smokehouse Express in the Maryville location has done well, Brinley said, but it has been a learning experience.

“We never did a drive-thru before. There are challenges,” she said. “You want to make it extremely fast for people. We ask if people will call ahead if they have a big order.”

One of the things Brinley said she and her staff noticed early was the ordering habits of customers at the drive-thru location.

“It’s really working out well. Most people come through, it’s just a couple of sandwiches,” Brinley said. “It’s not the

December 2, 2010

norm, unless it’s Sunday afternoon. We haven’t had a problem with a big wait at the drive-thru so far.”

From a menu standpoint, the Maryville location offers all of the items available in Edwardsville and Columbia, except those that are fried.

“We don’t have anything fried there,” Brinley said. “If we have to put it in a fryer, you can’t get it there.”

Brinley said even though she lives in Maryville, she didn’t really consider it as a possible location.

“It was an opportunity presented to us,” she said. “The person that owned the property called us and told us they thought it would be a perfect fit.”

And to date, the expansion has been successful.

“The response I’ve gotten back from the Maryville restaurant is positive,” Brinley said. “We live in Maryville. We know a lot of people. They’ve been super supportive.”

Currently, the Maryville location has one drive-thru lane open. Brinley said a second lane will open at a later date.

Bully’s can trace its roots back more than six years to a location that no longer exists.

“We opened one in Belleville in 2004.

The people that we leased the building from needed the building back, which was fine for us,” Brinley said. “We were

already starting this (Edwardsville) project. So we thought, ‘This is a much better location anyway,’ so were fine with it.”

The Edwardsville location opened more than four years ago and Brinley serves as its primary operator.

Shawn Orloski, Brinley’s son-in-law, directs the Columbia restaurant.

Both have a hand in the Maryville location.

Barbecue has caught on with the dining public as a number of eateries now specialize in it throughout Madison County.

Brinley says what sets the restaurants apart is their styles.

“We’re all a little different. It depends on what style you like. We think we’re the best. They think they’re the best,” Brinley said. “Everyone has a different style.

Barbecue is really a personal preference.

We fit where we want to be. We’ve found our little niche.”

Brinley is quick to point out, however, that Bully’s offers more than just barbecue.

“We have amazing steaks. I have my grandmother ’s homemade chicken and dumpling recipe here. We do fried chicken.

We do a lot of things people really don’t recognize us for,” she said. “Our catfish is among our top six sellers. I have a guy who told me he’s the burger connoisseur of the world and he won’t try the barbecue

because he can’t get past the burger.”

The Edwardsville location is currently undergoing a makeover as a waiting area is being built near the bar area.

It’s one more sign that Bully’s is growing.

Brinley said there isn’t really a secret to her restaurant’s success, it’s simply a matter of being passionate about what she’s doing.

“We’re here everyday. We’re not so spread out that there’s not an owner in a restaurant at some given point every day.

I have all my family working for me – my niece, my nephew, my daughters, my sister.

It’s a family thing,” she said. “We all have a lot more passion about what’s going on.

I care if someone doesn’t get a good meal.

I might not sleep that night if someone’s really upset if something was wrong with their food.”

Even in this world of fast food chains and big-box retailers, there’s still a spot for the family-owned business.

“We care. I think you’re going to get that from most family-owned and operated businesses,” Brinley said. “They’re going to care just a little bit more, they’re going to go the extra mile. They have a little bit more on the line.”

That attitude, then, spreads through the entire staff.

“I have good people working for me,” Brinley said. “I have amazing people that have been here since the day we opened.”

Late-night TV evolves NEW YORK (AP) — The latenight television landscape used to be fairly easy to describe: There was Jay Leno, David Letterman and everybody else.

Now, it just seems, there’s everybody else.

Late-night TV is losing audience and influence just as the time period has a breadth and quality of material it has never before had, with Conan O’Brien’s TBS show that started this month the latest example.

Leno and Letterman, both in the twilight of their television careers, are still the most popular performers.

But O’Brien, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez and Chelsea Handler all have rabid fan bases. “ T h e re a re a l o t o f v i a b l e options out there,” said David Campanelli, vice president and director of national television for Horizon Media, who purchases TV advertising time for clients. “I don’t have to go to one or two places to spend my late-night money.”

NBC’s Leno topped the ratings for 14 years before NBC replaced him at the “Tonight” show in 2009 with O’Brien, and sent Leno into prime time. The move proved disastrous, and Leno was back in his old job within a year.

Leno immediately reclaimed the top spot in the ratings from Letterman. But this fall the competition between the two has been tight.

Leno has averaged 3.7 million viewers a night through eight weeks of the season, the Nielsen Co. said.

Letterman is right behind at 3.6 million. Leno has been on top six of the eight weeks. Since two autumns ago when they went head-to-head, Leno’s audience is down 23 percent while Letterman is up 3 percent.

What happened to Leno’s fans?

There may be some lingering bad feelings among viewers over O’Brien’s exit, when Leno was criticized for taking back a job he never really wanted to leave in the first place. Maybe casual fans simply got out of the habit of watching “Tonight” during Leno’s absence. NBC’s primetime struggles may have finally caught up with him. It is likely a combination of all three.

“No one sees Leno as the big player anymore — the one show you have to be on,” Campanelli said. “’The Tonight Show’ used to be the one you had to be on.”

Leno’s struggles leave Letterman in a position to take over the lead, even though his audience is getting smaller, too — just not as fast as Leno’s. Letterman lost the bump he received when competing against O’Brien on the “Tonight” show, and

he’s down 16 percent since last fall.

“The moment that Dave felt that he could no longer beat Jay Leno, that’s when he started to gain on him,” said Aaron Barnhart, a latenight TV expert and founder of the TV Barn website. “It’s very possible he’s going to do a victory lap before he goes off into the sunset.”

Letterman is 63, Leno is 60.

Their audiences, besides becoming smaller, are older and less valuable to advertisers.

O’Brien already looks more comfortable on TBS than he ever did on the “Tonight” show. He had 4.1 million viewers for his first night on TBS, following heavy promotion.

“We were blown away by the numbers the first night,” said Michael Wright, TBS programming chief. “But nobody got back and said this was going to be the audience (moving forward). It just doesn’t work out that way.”

O’Brien averaged 2.9 million viewers the first week, and was at 1.8 million the first three nights of last week, Nielsen said. Wright said TBS anticipated O’Brien would attract viewers with an average age in their late 30s, and instead it’s been about 10 years younger. TBS is thrilled about that demographic; the same young audience at “Tonight” made NBC nervous.

O’Brien’s show cut into the ratings for one direct competitor: Stewart at Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” It has been averaging 2 million viewers a night this fall, but was down to 1.4 million on O’Brien’s first week, Nielsen said. Colbert’s audience on O’Brien’s first week was 300,000 less than the season average.

Michele Ganeless, Comedy Central president, said some reduction in audience size for their shows was to be expected given that the midterm elections were over. With O’Brien in the mix, there’s evidence that more people are saving the Comedy Central shows on their digital video recorders, she said.

“What Jon and Stephen do is so unique and unparalleled, and so different from what Conan does that there really is room for all of them to succeed,” Ganeless said.

Stewart and Colbert do lead in buzz — the watercooler moments that are hard to measure but make them more influential than their audience size would suggest.

Many of the other contenders are bunched up in the ratings so far this season, each with his own audiences and constituencies. Ferguson is averaging 1.8 million viewers following Letterman on CBS, and Fallon has 1.7 million after Leno on NBC. ABC’s Kimmel also averages 1.7 million, and has been getting strong word-of-mouth. Even though he moved back an hour,
