FROM THE EDITOR THE NOVEMBER ISSUE QUIZ We’re testing your knowledge about this issue of Inside Columbia, but don’t worry — it’s an open-book quiz.

Finding The Music

I

1. Katie Mustard credits four special teachers for guiding her toward a career in filmmaking. Can you name them? She talks about their important influence on Page 42.

Sandy Selby

Editor-in-Chief

’m a firm believer that most of us can learn a skill at a basic level, perhaps even become passably proficient at it, but it’s natural, inborn talent that elevates some people above others in any given pursuit. This is why I’m a writer and not a ballerina or a chef or a professional race car driver. My passion for writing revealed itself about the same time I started stringing my ABCs into words, and I suspect the people who are at the forefront of Columbia’s music scene were connecting with music even earlier.

In our story on Page 82, we examine the state of Columbia’s live music offerings, and hear from the experts who wish more young people would pursue their passion for music. We’re fortunate in this thriving college town to have such diverse venues and musical styles to choose from, and I think you’ll enjoy learning more about what’s available to music lovers and music makers here in our city.

Mizzou’s new basketball coach, Kim Anderson, hears music in the squeak of shoe soles on hardwood and the swoosh of a ball through the net. I imagine his talent for basketball was evident early in his youth, even before he began towering over the other kids. Longtime Columbians and Tiger fans will remember watching Anderson’s talent blossom under the tutelage of legendary Mizzou coach Norm Stewart. Now Anderson is back on the Mizzou court, this time as the team’s leader, conducting the ebb and flow of the game as if it were a symphony. It’s a happy homecoming for the former Tiger standout, and he talks about his goals and challenges in our exclusive Q&A on Page 74.

Filmmaking is the purview of Columbia’s own Katie Mustard. She’s making a name for herself on a national level, but hasn’t forgotten where she came from.

Read more about this gifted filmmaker on Page 42.

This is the month when a lot of us will push our culinary talents to the limit as we put together the annual Thanksgiving feast. Fortunately, Chef Brook Harlan is here to help even the most novice cook pull together a mouthwatering masterpiece. You’ll find his advice for brining a turkey on Page 112.

Wherever your talents lie, I hope you will take time this month to give thanks for the abilities you were born with, and to share your gratitude with all those whose talents inspire and amaze you.

CONTRIBUTORS Samantha Cook Marketing Representative

Samantha Cook was born and raised in sunny San Diego, Calif., but by the time she graduated from Stephens College she had fallen in love with the Midwest, and Columbia in particular. Most of her career has been spent coordinating social and corporate events and she hopes to bring that knowledge to the Inside Columbia team.

When she’s not at work, Cook enjoys singing karaoke (ABBA is a particular favorite!) and spending time with her crazy cats and overly energetic pup.

Peg Gill Editorial Assistant

After graduating from the University of Missouri with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, Peg Gill enjoyed a successful career as an advertising copy writer in Chicago. She got her start at the highly regarded agency J. Walter Thompson, and subsequently worked at Ogilvy & Mather and several other agencies.

Gill is a relative newcomer to Columbia, having relocated here with her husband last year in search of a slower paced lifestyle and a little land. She and her husband live on 3.2 acres with ready access to the MKT Trail.

Gill enjoys exploring her new hometown, attending events such as the True/False Film Fest and Roots N Blues N BBQ. Speaking of roots, she still roots for the Chicago Bears, Bulls and Cubs, but has embraced the Cardinals, too. Gill is looking forward to her new career at Inside Columbia.

Joe Waner Graphic Designer

Joe Waner is a graduate of Columbia College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in graphic design. He is a lover of art in every form, and throughout his education and other ventures, Waner discovered that his love for creating innovative, visual pieces was not limited to traditional artistic platforms. He enjoys learning and digging into new creative mediums including, but not limited to, zinc plate etching and abstract ceramic pieces.

Outside of his professional life, Waner enjoys eating good food, venturing out on road trips, scouring antique stores, watching hockey and drinking well-made whiskey.

Nights at home are spent watching terribly addicting TV with his wife, Andrea, and pets, Jack and Ruby.

Home Of The Brave Say ‘thank you’ to our military heroes at these local Veterans Day events.

On the first anniversary of the end of World War I fighting — Nov. 11, 1919 — President Woodrow Wilson declared Americans’ reflections should “be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory.”

That proclamation was the start of Veterans Day, and now, 95 years later, Columbians can continue the tradition of honoring, remembering and celebrating veterans with these Mizzou Veterans Week events. To see more events, visit www.stufftodo.missouri.edu.

November To Remember An event-filled month awaits you in Columbia.

L

ast month, I featured several on-campus events designed to raise awareness about the problem of domestic violence. One event early in November casts the issue, and its ownership, in a different light.

On Nov. 5 at the Holiday Inn Expo Center, The Missouri Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence invites men who are committed to changing Missouri to unite at a breakfast kickoff event that will launch a new statewide effort: MISSOURI MEN SAY NO MORE. Throughout November, Missouri males will be making a personal commitment to speak out about their outrage over rape and domestic violence. More information is available online at www.mocadsv.org.

The State Historical Society of Missouri helps to fill the south campus gap left by the Museum of Art and Archeology’s migration to North Campus with a couple of free November events.

ART FOR A WORLD AT WAR: WWI POSTERS AND EDITORIAL CARTOONS

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

takes place at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8. SHS Curator of Art Joan Stack will walk through the society’s latest Main Gallery exhibit, which marks the centennial of the epoch-ending first world war — an event that was as culturally devastating as it was politically cataclysmic.

Interestingly, the society invites you to experience World War I through the eyes of artists. Join Stack for a tour of original wartime posters and editorial cartoons and learn how art reflected the hopes, fears and patriotic devotion of Missourians. As a way to celebrate all U.S. veterans, society military artifacts from a variety of time periods will be on display at the event. The exhibit will run from Oct. 14 to Feb. 14, 2015.

On Nov. 13, settle in for AN EVENING OF FICTION SET IN MISSOURI from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. If Kansas City native Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl has recently refocused your attention on Missouri writers’ mastery of vernacular, you’ll enjoy the SHS invitation to join two Missouri authors for readings from their

latest projects, followed by a discussion on writing; topics will range from choosing historical fiction to literary license and historical accuracy.

St. Louis’ Catherine Underhill Fitzpatrick will read highlights from Going on Nine. Set in her hometown in 1956, the novel depicts a comingof-age summer for Grace Townsend that leads her and the reader to new understandings of life, family, equality and belonging. Fitzpatrick is an awardwinning journalist whose papers are in the society’s National Women and Media Collection.

Marlene Lee will read from Limestone Wall, a psychological novel released last month that traces widow Evelyn Grant from New York to Jefferson City. Once in mid-Missouri, Evelyn is confronted by the wall of the Missouri State Penitentiary, where her mother has been imprisoned for 40 years. A former court reporter and educator, Lee is also a SHSMO member and volunteer.

This year’s STEPHENS COLLEGE

SENIOR DANCE CONCERT takes place on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Stephens College Macklanburg Playhouse. It represents an innovative collaboration between Stephens and the University of Missouri music department.

Original choreography and original compositions mark this artistic collaboration between Stephens and Mizzou. The culmination of personal dance experiences is reflected in the choreography of graduating dance majors. The performance will include original compositions created for Stephens’ senior choreographers by composers from the Mizzou New Music Initiative and live music by the Mizzou New Music Ensemble.

Lastly, on Friday, Nov. 21, is CATTRIVIA 2014, a fundraiser for Columbia Access Television by Friends of CAT. The event includes eight rounds of trivia about the movies and television.

Columbia Access Television is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that maintains a community media center — a 2,000-square-foot, highdefinition television studio — and teaches classes in filmmaking, editing and more. CAT operates on the belief that economics shouldn’t play a part in sharing opinions, so all amenities come at very low prices to the community.

KEVIN WALSH considers himself a student of music’s effect on people. Since moving to Columbia in 1975, his professional ventures have included music retailer, radio show host and a brief stint as Truman the Tiger.

He currently hosts “The (So Called) Good Life,” from 3 to 6 p.m. every Wednesday on KOPN 89.5 FM and streaming live at www.kopn.org.

movies

In a near future reminiscent of the Depression-era Dust Bowl, the inhabitants of Earth face a horrifying and seemingly unavoidable prospect: extinction, possibly within as few as one or two generations.

When the home planet can no longer support mankind, the brightest minds of the human race desperately search for any means to adapt or escape in order to continue the species. The world turns to widowed family man Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) — ace pilot, engineer and farmer — to lead a team of interstellar voyagers through a newly discovered wormhole in hopes of finding a new homeland for mankind. Yet, in order to answer this call to duty, Cooper must make an impossible decision: leave behind his two children in this bleak world, likely never to see them again, in a longshot attempt to ensure they and the rest of humanity actually have a future.

Such a voyage doesn’t just push the boundaries of human beings’ travels in space; it breaks it. Theoretically, the wormhole could connect humanity to another point in space or time, possibly providing a bridge to another solar system or galaxy that contains a planet mankind could successfully inhabit. However, because such spatial-temporal travel has only been theorized and never attempted, Cooper and his team plunge headfirst into truly uncharted territories of physics with nothing more than hope and desperation to fuel them. Will they find a life raft for humanity floating in the black sea of outer space? And even if they do, will mankind still exist by the time they return to save it?

music

“Don’t Wait Up (For George)” Artist: Shooter Jennings (Black Country Rock, 2014) Shooter Jennings’ most recent album, “Don’t Wait Up (For George),” is an EP dedicated to the late George Jones.

Through five songs, Jennings honors the country icon with covers of Jones’ music, as well as a few Jennings originals. Rising to the challenge of recording a previous country music classic can be intimidating, but the son of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter can play that card.

“Don’t Wait Up (I’m Playing Possum)” is the first track on the album. In an interview with CMT, Jennings revealed he wrote the song back in 2012, believing Jones himself might record it. It’s through-and-through a cheating song and leaves one wondering whether it’s still cheating if both parties are guilty.

The Jones standard “She Thinks I Still Care” screams of Southern rock.

The heaviness in the tone, the hissing cymbal and the pulsating bass line are simple elements that bring an intrinsic feel to the song. It does a service to today’s generation, showing the relevance of a song with origins in 1962.

It’s wild to imagine a childhood spent around such outlaw country legends as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and George Jones. Shooter Jennings might have won the genetic jackpot with his parentage, but don’t let the idea of nepotism blind you to his talent. His sound is country with a Southern rock edge. This far into his career, Jennings has not only managed to gain his own fans but to convert the fans of his father as well.

Celebrating Citizen Jane Great films mean a great time at this annual festival honoring female filmmakers.

really great crowds and places to connect with each other, it includes access to the filmmakers, and it includes parties.

“We want to throw the funnest, warmest party of the year,” she says, “where people who love film and love community get to hang out with each other and have a great time, and honestly, I’m totally cool if people don’t get our mission — if they just come and have a great time and see these films. In the end, that’s what I want. I want people to see these films. They’re amazing, and they’re not getting seen, and that’s why we exist.”

CITIZEN JANE FILM FESTIVAL

Columbia, get ready for the best Citizen Jane Film Festival so far, says executive director Paula Elias.

“Every year, we get better at this,” Elias says. “I’m really, really excited about the films.”

Now in its seventh year, Citizen Jane is an intimate, three-day film festival showcasing the work of independent female filmmakers from around the world.

The event addresses the issue of women’s underrepresentation in the film industry. According to The Celluloid Ceiling, a study conducted by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, women comprised just 6 percent of directors for the top 250 grossing films in 2013 — a 3 percent drop from 2012.

Citizen Jane Film Festival gives women a chance to have good work recognized.

“One of the things that excites me the most is the quality of our submissions,” Elias says. She explains that at most film festivals, submitted films comprise between just 2 and 5 percent of the programming, and curated films, or those festival planners find, comprise the rest.

But at Citizen Jane, the split is closer to 50/50.

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

“It’s important that we program so many submitted films because these filmmakers may never be found otherwise; they may never get an audience for their films,” Elias says. Festival organizers plan to show 10 feature films, six documentaries and six shorts programs throughout the weekend.

In 2013, Citizen Jane added a Citizen Jane Summit to its lineup, which will return in 2014. This daylong conference brings influencers in film together with participants from Stephens College, the University of Missouri and guests throughout the region to devise strategies to improve women’s standing in the film industry. The first summit focused on outlining the problem and understanding how it developed.

“This year, we want to look at: ‘OK. The problem exists; we get it. How do we change it?’ ” Elias says.

This push for change is just one important part of the Citizen Jane Film Festival. Another measure of its success is the filmgoer’s experience. Elias says what she wants most for the filmgoers — simple as it sounds — is for them to have fun.

“What we want to do is craft a really good film festival,” she says, “and for us, that includes awesome films, it includes

Producing Success

Hometown girl Katie Mustard garners international acclaim for her films.

S

he’s shown films at Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, Munich, Toronto, Berlin and Edinburgh — and that’s just this year.

In November, film producer Katie Mustard will be coming home to Columbia, where she will have not one, not two, but three films in the Citizen Jane Film Festival.

“Katie’s amazing,” says Paula Elias, Citizen Jane festival director. “She is one of the most hardworking filmmakers I have ever known, and for someone so young, she has an amazing résumé. It’s cool that she’s a hometown girl.”

Mustard’s mother, Columbia’s not-forprofit champion Cindy Mustard, proudly notes that her daughter’s achievements include nine film premieres at the Sundance Film Festival and an upcoming award for women in film at the St. Louis International Film Festival on Nov. 22.

Local film buffs may remember “American Shopper,” a mockumentary about the fictitious sport of aisling, filmed at Schnucks in Columbia and featured on the April 2007 Inside Columbia cover. That, too, was a Katie Mustard production. We caught up with Mustard before her return trip to CoMo for a conversation about filmmaking and the joys of coming home.

Why did you choose a career in film?

There were four key teachers in Columbia who guided me on my path.

I will never forget Mrs. Bard from West Junior High, who bravely took a group of seventh- and eighth-graders from the drama class to New York City, where we went behind the scenes of “Phantom of the Opera”!

In ninth grade, I took a drama class from legendary acting teacher Joyce Walker at Hickman, where I quickly learned I was a terrible actor but enjoyed the behind-the-scenes production.

In 10th grade, I met the most inspirational teacher, who would change my life — Sara Riddick, who taught a film study class at Hickman. I feel extremely

42

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

fortunate to have had access to this class and to have had a high school teacher so passionate about storytelling through film.

Mrs. Riddick guided me in starting Hickman’s first film club in 1994, and she informed me about summer filmtelevision classes at North Carolina School of the Arts, Northwestern University and UCLA. I attended all of these universities in the summer between 11th and 12th grade. These programs taught me that film and television expand and encapsulate experience, seize real life and explore the interiors of the mind.

The final teacher who influenced my career was John Mitchell. During my senior year, I did a work-study program at [Columbia Public Schools Television] Channel 16, spending two to four hours a day learning practical video production and editing.

Without such classes and supportive teachers, I would not be where I am today. I am truly grateful for the public school system in Columbia and, of course, my parents who supported my

unrelenting desire for filmmaking.

What happened once you left Columbia?

I majored in film-television at the University of Southern California. USC provided me with the education and industry contacts I needed to succeed.

After college, I spent years climbing the production ladder from intern to production assistant to production coordinator to production manager and now to producer, working in every form of content in which I could get involved — commercials, music videos, reality TV, short films and feature films. I cannot cite a specific “break” in my career where I felt like I had truly arrived, but there have been dozens of moments of elation when festival acceptances were announced, awards were won, a movie star signed onto a project and financing was found.

For me, filmmaking is the most intriguing art form ever invented. It can transport the mind and soul of the average person a million miles away or deep into himself. Today, I lead the crew that makes those transports possible.

Your website, www.katiemustard.com, says you have “an expertise in physical producing” — what does that mean?

Physical producing is also known as “line producing” or the producer who is on set, overseeing the actual production period of the film.

How do you choose projects?

1. Story. 2. People involved.

3. Commercial profile and budget level.

My goal is to always have two of the three choices met, and one day, hopefully all three.

You have three films at Citizen Jane. What about each one makes you proud to have produced it?

Well, firstly, I’m very proud to have produced three films by three female directors last year. It was not something I intentionally set out to do, but when I realized it had happened, I was thrilled!

“We’ll Never Have Paris” is a hilarious, clumsy and at-once human account of screwing up on a transcontinental level in a noble effort to win back “the one.” The directors, Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Town, are great people who are passionate about telling smart and entertaining stories. I am proud to have produced such a commercially viable romantic comedy while presenting a fresh comedic voice that I think audiences will love.

“Appropriate Behavior” — I was immediately drawn into the story by the original, smart and edgy writing. [Writer and director] Desiree [Akhavan]’s writing — and subsequently her performance of a heightened version of herself — is raw, funny, flawed, entertaining and oh-so-honest! Desiree truly embodies the spirit of independent filmmaking, and I am proud to have produced such an extraordinary achievement with a first-time filmmaker in a micro-budget category.

44

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

“I Believe in Unicorns” is a movie about teenage love, adventure and trauma. It’s not an easy subject matter, yet [director] Leah Meyerhoff has an out-of-the box style that pulled off the difficult storyline successfully. I am honored to have been a part of the team to tell this unique, authentic and gently striking story.

What’s an average week like for you?

There is really no average week for me. As a freelance, independent film producer and someone obsessed with traveling and adventure, I tend to be in a different country every other Tuesday.

You’ve had nine films at the Sundance Film Festival. What do you think you are doing right to draw that kind of attention?

While I have spent years studying film and making movies, I have also spent decades living and looking at real life, and ultimately, this is what I try to infuse into my filmmaking. I believe that the only thing filmmakers can honestly present well is what they know.

My all-time favorite quote about moviemaking is by Frank Capra: “And may I say a word to this new generation (of filmmakers). Don’t compromise. Believe in yourself. Because only the valiant can create. Only the daring should make films.

And only the morally courageous are worthy of speaking to their fellow man for two hours in the dark.”

How do our local film festivals compare to festivals like Sundance?

Local film festivals are honestly the best!

At the local festivals, there is a genuine appreciation from the audiences who may not otherwise be exposed to independent films, and it is refreshing for filmmakers to have this support and feedback from towns like Columbia.

Animal Magnetism Lizzi & Rocco’s has pet owners sitting up and taking notice.

Lizzi & Rocco’s Natural Pet Market has earned the adoration of this city’s pets and their people.

Owners Kyle and Jessica Schlosser opened their store at 503 E. Nifong in October 2009. The husband and wife both grew up in families that owned businesses and saw an opportunity to combine their penchant for entrepreneurship with their love of animals. They named the shop after two of their dogs, and the products reflect the Schlossers’ dedication to giving their pets only the best in food, treats, supplements and supplies. In addition, the store offers a self-serve dog wash, stocked with everything from a blueberry facial scrub to grooming tools and fluffy towels.

Last spring, the Schlossers purchased Award Pet Supply at 1610 I-70 Drive S.W. and on May 19, opened it as a second location for Lizzi & Rocco’s. Jessica Schlosser shares a few ideas about why the couple has been so doggone successful.

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

You are a “natural” pet market. What does that mean?

All of the foods we offer have to be free of fillers and by-products. [This makes them] healthier and cheaper in the long run. Pets on natural foods typically have much better digestion, lower incidents of food-based allergies, shinier coats and better dental health!

Aside from pet food, what else do pet owners find on your shelves?

We have a lot of enrichment and puzzle toys to help challenge your pets’ minds and keep them entertained.

We try to carry a wide range of products to help problem-solve with any issues you might be facing with your dog and cat. Happier pets and pet owners is what we’re all about!

What opportunities for education do you offer customers?

All of our staff members are trained on pet nutrition, and so we’re happy to do nutrition consultations all day, every day! We also have seminars and demonstrations on a regular basis on a

Kyle and I have been involved in the rescue community in Columbia for years — long before Lizzi & Rocco’s was around.

We foster for local rescue groups and host adoption events for various groups almost every weekend at one of our shops. In addition, we have all kinds of options for the community to help support rescue efforts: Our Nifong store has nail trims benefiting rescue groups almost every weekend; all of the proceeds from our pet photo events benefit animal organizations; we even sell a line of food — Dog for Dog — that for each bag purchased, an equal-sized bag is donated to either Second Chance or Dogs Deserve Better.

What plans do you have for the second store?

We’re not planning on our Nifong store going anywhere — the new place just allows us a lot more space and to meet the needs of pet owners on the other side of Columbia. We carried over and grew upon what Award Pet Supply offered for small animals, and domestic and wild birds.

We will be installing a self-service dog wash at the I-70 Drive location. We have much more space there, so are planning on having more events and more products at the new store. It’s going to be great, and we can’t wait for everyone to see how it grows and develops over the next few months!

Rock On Can-do camp empowers girls to conquer their music dreams.

G

irls with microphones. Girls with guitars.

Girls on stage, girls in the spotlight, performing with power.

This is CoMo Girls Rock!, an organization that puts on a weeklong rock camp each summer for girls between the ages of 12 and 18.

“We work to empower girls through music education,” says Amanda Rainey, co-director of the camp. “We emphasize positivity and teamwork, which teenage girls need so much.”

The Girls Rock Camp includes instrument lessons in the mornings and band practice in the afternoons. Each day also brings workshops on such topics as feminism and body image and art and DIY workshops, such as ’zine making and Tshirt design. There is a lunchtime concert each day and fun closing activities, from karaoke to dance parties.

All week long, the girls study, write and practice, knowing that come Saturday night, they will take part in a showcase featuring each camper band performing a song its members wrote.

“This year, we had the showcase at The Blue Note, and it was packed, and the girls were amazing!” Rainey says. “It is really triumphant to watch them get on stage and perform a song they wrote together on instruments they just picked up five days before. We hope it’s an empowering experience for the whole audience!”

Ladies Rock Camp

Watching the girls perform has inspired adult women to imagine themselves on stage. Last January, CoMo Girls Rock! held its first Ladies Rock Camp for women who want to learn an instrument and start a band. After three days of practice, the women took the stage at a packed Mojo’s and performed their own original songs as five new bands.

It was incredible, Rainey says, to see the women’s attitudes change about what they could accomplish.

“Ladies Rock Camp is a transformative experience, and we encourage everyone who doesn’t think they can do it to sign up!” she says.

Ladies Rock Camp 2015 will take place Jan. 16–18; registration opens Nov. 5. The camp costs $150, and proceeds go toward Girls Rock Camp scholarships.

A Medium With A Message Music is the perfect medium for female empowerment, Rainey says.

“We sometimes have campers say, ‘I can’t do this,’ at the beginning of the week, which is a feeling that everyone has had at some point in their lives,” she says. “Girls especially are socialized to be quiet and perfect, so sometimes it is really hard to come to camp and play an instrument loudly and imperfectly! We work to validate that learning a new instrument is tough, and then to encourage the girls to try it anyway!”

The camp helps breaks down some of those social norms, Rainey says. “Every year, those girls who said, ‘I can’t do this,’ have totally rocked it at the showcase. We hope that they take that experience with them the next time they try something new and challenging. If they can rock The Blue Note, they can do anything!”

robinson’s ramblings

l BY JOHN ROBINSON

The House That Peggy Built

A passionate community leader hands over a wonderful legacy.

“

W

hat are you doin’ for Thanksgiving, Chuck?”

It was a conversation that sticks with me, even though it happened more than 20 years ago. I was struggling as a writer, waiting tables at Glenn’s Cafe, surrounded by customers who were salivating as they awaited their meals.

Chuck, a distributor, had just delivered his products that eventually would help quell the hunger of those happy campers in the dining room.

“I’ll do what I always do,” Chuck said.

“I’ll work in the serving line at Everett’s.”

I knew what he meant. Every Thanksgiving Day, Everett’s Restaurant opened its doors to all comers, offering a free Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. No money exchanged, no questions asked.

Full bellies and fellowship.

I was impressed. Week after week, this guy works to satisfy Columbia’s ravenous food and beverage needs. And on one of the most sacred holidays of the year, he doesn’t take the day off.

64

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

He knows they’re out there: the hungry.

Even in Columbia. Even in secure, affluent Columbia with one of the state’s lowest unemployment rates.

The late Almeta Crayton knew that, too.

She worked tirelessly to make sure hungry children got a meal. So did Cindy Mustard, Columbia’s Voluntary Action Center chief who retired after providing maybe a million meals to the less fortunate. ’Tis the season to give thanks to the leaders and volunteers who make Columbia the best place in Missouri to live — leaders like Peggy Kirkpatrick.

If the enthusiasm meter tops out at 10, Peggy is stuck on 11. But it takes more than enthusiasm to feed the hungry. To find and distribute more than 30 million pounds of food a year, Peggy punches more buttons and twists more dials than you’d find in the cockpit of a 747.

And in a few weeks, she’s leaving her post as executive director of the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri. That’s scary. She’s been a powerhouse in providing for the poor. How will the food bank fill the void? The good news is that she has

built a system that has the unstoppable momentum of the Crimson Tide.

She’s leaving the blood sport of fundraising to devote more time to the ministry. Peggy is an ordained minister, and as such, joins Jim Spainhower and Jack Danforth as Missouri’s pre-eminent preacher politicians.

Peggy is a politician?

Yes, but first, get over your distaste for the word “politician.” If you have a family, if you have a boss or employees, if you attend church, you’re a politician, too — since politics is nothing more than the art of dealing with people.

Anyway, I first met Peggy through a political campaign. And the meeting was daunting.

The year was 1992. I’d just been hired to run Sen. Roger Wilson’s campaign for lieutenant governor, pending one last interview with a pair of Boone County bluebloods. One of them was Peggy. I was apprehensive, but I passed the audition. She was gracious and supportive. She knew that all political campaigns are studies in crisis management.

Shortly after that meeting, Peggy announced that she was taking on a much bigger crisis — hunger — by taking the reins of the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri. So she excused herself from one branch of politics to immerse in another.

It’s hard to calculate the number of lives she has touched. During more than two decades, the food bank’s warehouse activity has grown to Walmartian proportions.

When she began, the food bank was distributing 3.4 million pounds of food a year.

Last year, the agency handed out more than 36 million pounds of food, a tenfold increase.

And the streams of support have muscled up, too. The University of Missouri athletics department is a solid partner, for years trading tickets to the spring Black and Gold Game for canned

NOVEMBER 2014 INSIDE COLUMBIA

65

goods. By the way, the Tigers always won that game. So did the thousands of fans who watched football at Faurot for the price of a couple of cans of corn.

Now in its 20th year, Mizzou’s Score Against Hunger campaign has raised more than $7.2 million for food banks in Missouri, providing more than 111.6 million meals. This season’s goal is lofty: raise a million dollars, which converts into 12.5 million meals. According to the food bank, “the funds are restricted to acquire and distribute food, free of charge, to 131 hunger relief agencies including soup kitchens, shelters for the homeless and abused, food pantries and 141 elementary schools through the Buddy Pack Program.”

To score against hunger, simply make a donation, or pledge a certain dollar amount for every point that the Tigers score this football season. At the end of the season, make your tax-deductible contribution to the food bank.

Some of the fundraising efforts are downright statuesque. The food bank entered Jewel, a gold and glass tiger statue, to raise funds along with a dozen other Bengal beneficiaries in the highly visible Tigers On The Prowl campaign.

One of the most effective food drives each year comes to your doorstep courtesy of the mailman. The local food bank joins with letter carriers to help stage the National Stamp Out Hunger food drive. Every second Saturday in May, postal carriers and their customers join in the largest one-day food drive in the nation. It doesn’t get any easier than clearing a few cans and packages out of your pantry and putting them in the handy grocery bag provided by the mailman. And never fear, somebody out there likes hominy and beets.

A few years back, the food bank began accepting certain perishables such as meat and potatoes, a welcome addition that heightened another critical need: volunteers, to help speed up the turnaround time. Last summer the food bank posted an urgent message on its website: “The Food Bank is receiving 30 pallets of potatoes and 9 pallets of fresh meat product that needs to be worked up ASAP!” The warehouse was short of volunteers because of summer vacations, and they needed to move thousands of pounds of perishables fast.

It’s easy to hear Peggy’s voice in this call for help. “We will take young and

66

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

old to help bag potatoes and meat.

Bring your friends, your parents, your grandparents! We guarantee a fun time and more importantly you can leave from your shift knowing that you made meat and potatoes available to many folks in our serving area!”

Columbians responded in droves.

Last year, according to the food bank’s website, “More than 38,000 volunteers donated a whopping 90,000 hours of service, or the equivalent of 43 full-time employees!”

So at year’s end, Peggy will focus on new challenges. But hunger isn’t going away. In fact, there are indications that the need is intensifying, even right here in the 32-county bread basket served by our local food bank.

Last year, researchers at the University of Missouri Interdisciplinary Center for Food Security released the latest Missouri Hunger Atlas. The numbers are startling. According to that study, Missouri ranks seventh in the nation for food insecurity. The Show-Me State ranks fifth-highest for child food insecurity. More than 380,000 Missouri households experience food insecurity and another 160,000 households experience very low food security. That translates into 1.3 million Missourians who experience some level of food insecurity. The atlas states that between 2000 and 2010, Missouri experienced the single largest increase in the percent of its population considered food insecure (a 7.4 percent increase) or vulnerable to very low food security (a 4.4 percent increase).

In the 32 counties served by the Columbia-based food bank, more than 118,000 people are living at or below the poverty line. Almost 30,000 of those people live in Boone County.

Think about it — that’s damn near the population of Jeff City. But reaching those 30,000 people is not as easy as an air drop into one spot.

It’s hard to believe that in this wealthy nation, the scourge of hunger still exists. It’s harder still to believe it happens in Columbia. But for every empty stomach, there’s a unique story.

And in the back of my mind somewhere, I hear Peggy’s voice: “There but for the grace of God, go I.” It’s something to think about this Thanksgiving.

8 Reasons To Quit Kick the habit during the Great American Smokeout.

E

very November, the American Cancer Society sponsors the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of the month.

The event began in 1970 as a local initiative in Randolph, Mass., and the idea quickly caught on. By 1977, the program had gone nationwide.

The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 42 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, which represents nearly 1 out of every 5 adults. Despite years of public education about the dangers of cigarette smoking, and a growth in smoking bans in cities across the country, tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of disease and premature death in this country, according to the ACS. There is good news for those who quit, though, even if it’s just for one day. Here are the health benefits the ACS says smokers can enjoy when they kick the habit.

Take Your Shot The CDC explains the importance of getting your flu vaccine.

It’s flu season and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is back with its annual advice on the best way to combat that ailment.

WHY SHOULD PEOPLE GET VACCINATED AGAINST THE FLU? Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others.

“Flu season” in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May. During this time, flu viruses are circulating at higher levels in the U.S. population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine (either the flu shot or the nasal spray flu vaccine) is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others.

HOW DO FLU VACCINES WORK?

Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.

The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Traditional flu vaccines (called trivalent vaccines) are made to protect against three flu viruses: an influenza A (H1N1) virus, an influenza A (H3N2) virus and an influenza B virus.

WHO SHOULD GET VACCINATED THIS SEASON?

Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season. This recommendation has been in place since Feb. 24, 2010, when CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted for “universal” flu vaccination in the United States to expand protection against the flu to more people. Vaccination to prevent influenza is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from influenza.

Different flu vaccines are approved for use in different groups of people. Factors that can determine a person’s suitability for vaccination, or vaccination with a particular vaccine, include a person’s age, health (current and past) and any relevant allergies, including an egg allergy. Your doctor can determine which vaccination is best for you.

WHEN SHOULD I GET VACCINATED?

Flu vaccinations typically begin in early fall; the offer should continue throughout flu season, even in January or later.

Although seasonal influenza outbreaks can happen as early

70

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

as October, most seasonal influenza activity peaks in January or later. Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body to protect against influenza virus infection, it is best that people get vaccinated so they are protected before the virus begins spreading in the community.

DOES FLU VACCINE WORK RIGHT AWAY?

No. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection. That’s why it’s better to get vaccinated before flu season gets under way.

CAN I GET SEASONAL FLU EVEN THOUGH I GOT A FLU VACCINE THIS YEAR?

Yes. There is still a possibility you could get the flu even if you were vaccinated. The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on various factors — including the age and health status of the person receiving the vaccination — and on the similarity or “match” between the viruses used to make the vaccine and those circulating in the community. If the viruses in the vaccine and the influenza viruses circulating in the community are closely matched, vaccine effectiveness is higher. If they are not closely matched, vaccine effectiveness can be reduced; however, even when the viruses are not closely matched, the vaccine can still protect many people and prevent flu-related complications. Such protection is possible because antibodies made in response to the vaccine can provide some protection (called cross-protection) against different but related influenza viruses.

Flushing Out Donors

An unorthodox campaign raises funds for breast cancer research.

E

rica Milbach felt a little uneasy every time she decorated a stranger’s lawn with her pink toilet. And when strangers caught her at it and in bewilderment asked what she thought she was doing, she flushed — er, colored — with embarrassment.

“It wasn’t always the most comfortable conversation to have: ‘Excuse me what are you doing?’ ‘Oh, you know, I’m just dropping a toilet off in your yard,’ ” Milbach says, “but they were always really understanding once I explained the situation.”

The “situation” was Milbach raising funds for Susan G. Komen Mid-Missouri.

Throughout the month of September, she placed the pink toilet on lawns around Columbia, and with it, she left a Flush Breast Cancer Away sign that explained she would remove the toilet for a donation of $20. Homeowners could choose to give $25 instead and direct Milbach to her next prospective donor; a $50 donation would guarantee the toilet would not make a second appearance on the donor’s lawn.

Milbach found the idea online and thought it would be a fun way to encourage people to give.

“The people who were involved really liked the idea of gifting someone something that’s not the most beautiful lawn ornament,” says Milbach, who is a nurse anesthetist at The Missouri Orthopaedic Institute.

The fundraiser kept Milbach and her father, who helped with the heavy lifting, busy the entire month. They moved the toilet at least once almost every day; one

72

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

day, they moved it four times.

By the end of September, the pink toilet had made a stop in 29 Columbia yards, and Milbach had raised $1,246, making her the top fundraiser for the 2014 Komen Mid-Missouri Race for the Cure campaign.

Eva Seibert, one of Milbach’s co-workers, calls it “a great ‘power of one’ story.”

“No fanfare, just one person with a good idea and some follow-through,” Seibert says.

Milbach supports Komen even though she does not have a personal story with breast cancer. She is on the Susan G.

Komen Mid-Missouri affiliate board and served as the race chair emeritus for the Komen Mid-Missouri Race for the Cure, which took place Oct. 4.

Earning the spot of top fundraiser doesn’t really matter to her, she says. What does matter is knowing the money will go toward the fight against breast cancer.

“We give out a lot of grants to the local community, and without fundraising, we can’t do that,” she says. “I hope I’ll be doing this as an annual fundraiser now and continue the tradition of the pink toilet in town.”

When he returned to the States, he worked as an assistant coach at Missouri and Baylor, made the move to an assistant commissioner role for the Big 12 Conference, and then transitioned back to coaching by heading up the University of Central Missouri basketball program in Warrensburg.

Fresh off a Division II men’s basketball championship win with UCM, Anderson is taking his expertise to Division I for the program he’s always wanted to lead. He knows this season will be a challenge, but he’s not shying away.

For Anderson, “challenge” is a word ripe with opportunity and promise.

What has your experience been coming back to Columbia?

Q

The reception has been staggering. Just the response that my wife, Melissa, and I have gotten is amazing. Being a Mizzou grad, this is my dream job. I grew up in Missouri, and this is the ultimate coaching job for me. It’s not Kentucky, Duke or Kansas — it’s here.

A

When did that dream start for you?

Q

After I finished playing professionally, I came back to Columbia in 1982, and I was a graduate assistant on Coach Stewart’s staff. The more I got into coaching, the more I knew this was what I wanted to do. I even applied for high school jobs. Ironically, I didn’t get them, which is good. I actually ran into a guy who interviewed me for a high school job back in ’83.

A

championship, but right up there with it is when you watch that kid cross the stage, get his degree, and then go on to be successful. You’ve got to win games to continue to have this opportunity, but you’ve also got to help these young men.

You’ve got to help them understand where they’re going. Many of them need a little push.

Q Since making the jump, what have you found to be the biggest difference between Division I and Division II?

A

Q

And you remembered him?

A

He remembered me! He introduced himself and said, “I guess I should have hired you!” And I said, “No, you shouldn’t have!

You did the right thing.”

Q

Have you always aimed for college coaching,rather than at a professional level?

A

I’ve never been as interested in coaching professional teams.

I like dealing with college kids. My job is obviously to be successful in basketball, but I think it extends to more than that. Most of the kids are in a stage of life where they need to continue to mature and grow, and to learn responsibility.

The most satisfying thing in coaching is obviously winning a

You know, this is the ultimate. This is the top level. This is the state’s school. This is the state’s basketball program. At Central Missouri, it’s more of a regional concept. So, the time demands [in Division I] are higher. You’re also dealing with more highly skilled players here, and you have access to a lot more resources, such as nutritionists, psychologists, a great academic support system, a large compliance staff … and so on. I have a lot of people here.

At Central Missouri, I had two assistant coaches and a graduate assistant. When we were talking about this job, [Athletics Director] Mike Alden said, “You are now the CEO of men’s basketball.” I’ve had to learn to delegate because I simply can’t do everything.

“ I LOVE COMPETITION, AND I LOVE CHALLENGES

MY WAY IS JUST DIFFERENT

The first thing I had to do was hire people and organize my staff, and now that we’re through that stage, we’re in the implementation phase. We’re still getting to know each other, but it’s been good.

Q

What are you most excited about this season?

A

The challenge. I love competition, and I love challenges. I am extremely proud of our group of guys — they’ve come a long way since I met them almost five months ago. We still have a long way to go, and it’s going to be a very challenging year, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be good.

Q What are the challenges you see this team facing?

A Q

Do you want to do everything?

A

Yeah, you want to know everything that’s going on.

And you can’t do it. There aren’t enough hours in a day. So it’s been a learning experience. I’ve got great people here who are helping me out.

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

Getting to know each other, putting in a new system, and making some different demands. The three coaches that came before me — Quin Snyder, Mike Anderson and Frank Haith — were all very successful, and they all did it in different ways. So I’m just doing it a different way. It doesn’t mean their ways were better or worse — my way is just different.

Q

Q

What is your way?

What is your approach when it comes to recruiting? What do you tell players who are interested, or maybe not interested?

A I want my kids to be hard-nosed, I want to be solid defensively, and I want to try to guard people. If there’s a loose ball, then they’re going to dive on the floor and get it.

And if they don’t, then they’re just not going to play. But I don’t want people to think that we’re just going to try to win 35-33. We’re going to push the ball, we’re going to try to run. I want to be fundamentally sound, and I want to be efficient offensively. I don’t want the ball flying in the stands 24 times a game.

It’s kind of basic basketball, the way I learned it. It’s basketball like Coach Stewart played it. I mean, I’m a little different, and we’re two different people, but I learned a lot from him, so people will see a lot of his style in our game.

Q What core values drive your approach?

“ A

A It depends on the player. Mainly, I talk about three things.

First, I talk about academics.

I sell the school. Some kids are really interested in the educational aspect, getting their degree, and starting a career. For some players, their top priority is playing NBA basketball. But I still try to sell them on the educational aspect and the importance of getting your degree.

Your chances of playing in the league are not great, and I’m not saying you can’t do it, but you’ve got to have a backup.

I also talk about basketball and the athletics department. I sell player development, what we can do to help you be a better basketball player. We have great facilities.

We have an excellent strength and conditioning coach. We have outstanding athletic training. We have a nice locker room, we have a beautiful arena, and we have video technology that can help you get better. Another aspect of that is exposure. We’ve got the SEC Network with 92 million

subscribers, and we’re going to be on ESPN nine times, I think, which is the most ever. Every one of our games is going to be on TV. We’ve got media exposure.

Then I talk about the social aspect. Columbia is a great place to live. There’s a vibrancy in this city that I have not seen anywhere else.

There are a lot of opportunities to be successful, so you recruit kids differently. The bottom line, though, is you’re always trying to look for that kid who wants to do everything he can to win.

Q What do you want to be remembered for here at Mizzou? What will Kim Anderson’s legacy be?

A You know, I’d like to be remembered as a good coach who had a team that played hard every night. I want to win our share of games, and hopefully a championship, whatever championship that may be. I want to represent the university, represent Columbia and represent the state well. I grew up here, so I have a lot of Missouri pride in me.

Overall, I just want to be remembered as a good coach.

Every day we work on the fundamentals, like dribbling and passing. We practice taking care of the basketball, and playing at a faster pace, but also playing at a pace that you don’t turn the ball over. It goes back to Norm’s theory in 1973: Play hard, play together, and get in condition.

FIRST, I TALK ABOUT ACADEMICS

BY ANITA NEAL HARRISON

F

or music fans, Columbia is a city of ceaseless enticement. From intimate listening rooms to big concert venues, from heavy metal bands to bluegrass jams, from national headliners to local upand-comers — it’s a music scene that throbs with diversity.

“A lot of talent and a lot of different influences that artists are pulling from make it a diverse community of local music,” says Patrick Connor, a booker/bartender at Café Berlin.

“There’s a lot of country, a lot of punk, though, too, and anything that falls between those two extremes.”

What’s (Not) Happening

IS THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE STILL IN TUNE WITH THE TIMES?

With such an eclectic scene, people are bound to disagree when it comes to identifying the biggest stories in CoMo music. Currently, the disagreement runs even deeper. While some insiders report a thriving local sound scene, others say the Columbia music industry is the smallest it’s been in several decades.

Jesse Garcia has been booking acts for 20 years, but the owner of the downtown dance club Roxy’s says he doesn’t see much happening right now.

“It seems to me that there are only a few bands left that are known in Columbia, and a lot of them are quite a few years older than what I’m used to,” he says. “I’ve not ever seen such a small number of musicians coming out of the college, making bands happen in Columbia.”

Not only are new bands not cropping up, he says, but several of the area’s leading bands have broken up or moved on in the last couple of years. He cites the Hooten Hallers, a self-proclaimed “loud blues and hillbilly soul” band that formed in Columbia in 2006.

“They are the biggest band to come out of Columbia in the last five years,” Garcia says, but they’re doing so well touring that they “rarely play a show in Columbia now.

And then after that, there’s only a handful

of recognizable names that draw a crowd every time.”

Kara Miller, general manager at The Bridge, gives a similar report.

“Although I think the venues in town are really supportive — maybe the most they’ve ever been in trying to provide a scene for our local musicians — it just seems like actual musicians have been leaving or taking on other projects,” she says. “I wish there were more local musicians and bands performing right now, but it just seems a little stagnant.”

One insider who offers a different take is Richard King, the former owner of The Blue Note and Mojo’s. He says the first words that come to his mind to describe the local music scene are “very healthy” and “vibrant.”

“I think there are a whole slew of talented individuals who are residing right here in the greater Columbia area,” King says.

“I think what you’ll find most people saying is, ‘Well, they don’t bring many people in.’ That’s not because they’re not talented … let’s separate that. There are plenty of good musicians. Getting people into your room is another story. That’s the challenge that we’re all presented with.”

Getting Creative Local promoters have found several creative ways to respond to the challenge of luring crowds into their venues. Some have cut back on live music to offer other draws. At Roxy’s, for example, Garcia has switched to more DJ music, which, he says with a sigh, is what current college students want. At Eastside Tavern, which opened in the late 1990s, owner Sal Nuccio has replaced most of the live music with themed nights, such as comedy and free karaoke. The live music that remains at Eastside is different from the music of the tavern’s early days.

“Back then, there was a lot more punk rock and heavy metal,” Nuccio says. “Lately, the scene has changed, and I’m working with a lot of bands that are in the roots scene. I think it’s the new rock ’n’ roll of today. Seeing how everything is so commercialized, people have turned to roots rock ’n’ roll — sort of Elvis meets AC/DC or Waylon Jennings meets Elvis. It’s cool stuff, and I like working with them, but there has been a big change in what’s ‘in’ over the years.”

Two newer venues on the scene, The Bridge and Café Berlin, are using atmosphere to attract music fans.

The Bridge has carved out a niche as a casual but upscale venue that offers live music at least five nights a week and supports the arts in general.

“We try to be a community arts center, more than just a music venue,” Miller says.

The Bridge is also connected to the Columbia Academy of Music, which offers instruction to all ages; one of The Bridge’s owners, Wes Wingate, is the founder and president of the record label Home Tone Records.

One fan of The Bridge is Brian “BC” Craig, lead singer of a local band almost every venue owner includes in a list of current heavy-hitters, Don’t Mind Dying.

82

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

“The folks at The Bridge, Wes Wingate and Kara Miller, they’re the guys who are really supporting all the local musicians in town right now,” Craig says. “That’s where you go if you want a gig.”

Café Berlin began as a breakfast eatery and started offering regular live music shows in February. Inside Columbia columnist and KOPN-FM host Kevin Walsh says he is excited to see how the venue is bringing together what he calls the town people and the river people.

“The river people hang out at Cooper’s Landing, at Rocheport General Store, at Lupus, at Jamestown,” he explains.

“They’ve been around for generations, playing music, but you don’t see them in town much. The town people were mostly the kids who graduated locally or came out of the university and assimilated themselves into the scene. Café Berlin has taken all the worlds and mixed them together. They have straightup folk stuff, but on the other hand, they’ll have death metal.

Eli [Gay], the owner, is just a fan of music that doesn’t get the exposure it deserves. And they have a real home concert feel to it.”

Connor notes how Café Berlin has evolved. “Our whole mission as a restaurant — being local and a Southern kind of breakfast — has carried over to the night,” he says. “It’s kind of like a step up from a dive bar, and it’s just a different alternative to the bars in Columbia. People like that weird, rustic, authentic experience, and that’s something we definitely provide.”

For The Love Of Music Given the difficulties of running a live music venue, one might wonder why so many have taken it on in Columbia. The people running those venues say the answer is simple: Music is worth it.

“It’s a tough business; there’s nothing easy about it,” says Ben Bradley, owner of Whiskey Wild Saloon. “You constantly have to pay attention to who college kids like, who older crowds like, who’s trending on the charts, who’s up and coming. There are so many variables, it’s really difficult. But at the same time, it’s a blast.”

Connor describes why.

“Music has the ability to evoke a feeling out of people like no other experience,” he says. “Finding bands and coordinating with them and going through the struggle of booking shows and promoting shows and calling media and getting on Twitter and doing all that hard work, and then opening up the bar and moving chairs and coordinating with the sound guy — there’s a lot of work that goes into putting on a good show. But that moment when you hear the first song start, and it’s one you know, and it’s one you love, and you share a glance with someone else at the bar who understands it, and they’re like, ‘Oh my god, this is live music, this is awesome’ — it all makes sense, and it’s awesome.”

The Venues COLUMBIANS HAVE A LOT OF LOCAL OPTIONS FOR LIVE MUSIC

THE BLUE NOTE The Blue Note (17 N. Ninth St.) was established in 1980 and boasts a capacity of more than 800. The touring acts hit all tastes, with past artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Dierks Bentley. The Blue Note also hosts 9th Street Summerfest, an outdoor, downtown family-friendly concert series.

MOJO’S Mojo’s (1013 Park Ave.) is a sister venue to The Blue Note. A smaller space with a capacity of 200, Mojo’s brings in national acts and local talent. Forrest Rose Park is an extension of Mojo’s and is a site for outdoor music concerts and community events.

THE BRIDGE The Bridge (1020 E. Walnut St.) describes itself as “a venue by musicians, for musicians.” The intimate space features local, regional and national music acts.

MIZZOU ARENA Mizzou Arena (1 Champions Drive) serves as Columbia’s largest concert venue with a capacity of more than 15,000. Lately, the big acts stopping here tend to be country, such as Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts and George Strait, but past concerts have included rock headliners Elton John, the Eagles and Nine Inch Nails.

ROXY’S Roxy’s (1025 E. Broadway) is a downtown dance club that lately has switched to more DJ music but still occasionally brings in live bands.

EASTSIDE TAVERN Eastside Tavern (1016 E. Broadway) was once a downtown hotspot of live music but for the most part has left that scene to offer themed nights. However, the bar still supports roots rock ’n’ roll artists with shows early in the week.

WHISKEY WILD SALOON SNORTY HORSE SALOON NASH VEGAS Whiskey Wild (2508 Paris Road), Snorty Horse (1624 Jade Road) and Nash Vegas (929 E. Broadway) are local establishments catering exclusively to country tastes.

CAFÉ BERLIN Café Berlin (220 N. 10th St.) is a restaurant venue that offers a mix of country, folk, Americana, punk and experimental — whatever, so long as it’s good — and books about a 50/50 split between local and out-of-town acts.

MURRY’S Murry’s (3107 Green Meadows Way) is another restaurant doubling as a live music venue, known for “Good food.

Good jazz.” Murry’s brings in touring national artists and local artists. It is also a concert space for the “We Always Swing” Jazz Series.

MISSOURI THEATRE The historic Missouri Theatre (203 S. Ninth St.) is the main venue for the University of Missouri Concert Series, which in its current season has brought in musical artists ranging from classical pianist Rosario Andino to country legend Willie Nelson. The Missouri Theatre is also home to the Missouri Symphony Orchestra’s Hot Summer Nights Festival.

UNITY OF COLUMBIA Unity (1600 W. Broadway) is host to the Lydaco Concert Series, which offers listening room shows featuring touring professional songwriters from around the country.

Other venues can be found in small Missouri River communities near Columbia. These spots include Cooper’s Landing, Lupus General Store and Rocheport General Store.

When you’re walking down the street, to me, there’s just a certain consciousness that you know you’re in a city that is a progressive city, but a progressive city that hasn’t lost its roots and its soul. And that’s definitely reflected in the music. It has everything progressive, but at the same time, it still has that soul and funkiness to it.

The DIY Scene Columbia has an active underground music scene right now, but getting people to talk about it is rather difficult.

The solo folk/pop/punk act Paper Ceilings, aka Jesse Markway, is one of the DIY of-the-moment bands. Checking out Paper Ceilings on social media reveals venue names such as Pasta Mermaid, Groovy Grrls and The Dome — but Markway declines an invitation to talk about them.

He does say that the DIY scene covers pretty much all the same genres as the larger Columbia music scene, with an emphasis on punk, metal, country and folk.

“I think it’s really important,” he says. “People are making really interesting music and sharing that, regardless of whether it’s a commercial venture or not.

“It’s also very inclusive,” he adds. “It helps people who otherwise might not have somewhere to fit in. They can find that in underground music, whether they’re a musician or not.”

SOUND BITE

Columbia’s music scene, to me, has always been very vibrant, very progressive, fiercely independent and committed to original music. People have always been into writing original music around here. There has always been a legacy for sort of doing your own thing.

GRIN & BEAT IT ACTIVE LIFESTYLE HELPS COLUMBIA MAN FIGHT CANCER WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

BY JAC O B LU E C K E Phil Griggs likes to do a simple workout routine — lift weights one day, run three miles the next.

It’s a basic formula that, at 55, has kept him strong, healthy and happy in his life as well as his work as a busy sales manager.

But earlier this year, the workouts suddenly became harder to complete.

One day, as Phil ran alongside his daughter, he was finding it very difficult just to keep up.

“A little over halfway, I had to take a break,” he says. “Then toward the end, with just three-tenths of a mile left, I just had to quit.”

It was very unusual for Phil to get so exhausted during his runs. He thought maybe it was just a fluke; perhaps he would feel better the next time out.

But two days later, he did even worse. He couldn’t even run two miles.

Concerned, he decided to see his family doctor, Lyndell Scoles, MD. After some blood work and an abdominal CT scan, Phil received a preliminary diagnosis — lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.

“I’ve been healthy all my life and very active,” Phil says. “I’m one of those people who says, ‘Cancer, that’s not me, I’ll never get that. That’s somebody else.’ So it was really a major shock.”

Phil was referred to Missouri Cancer Associates, the physician practice affiliated with the Stewart Cancer Center at Boone Hospital.

There, Michael Trendle, MD, confirmed that Phil had cancer.

Boone Hospital Center

Phil’s specific diagnosis was mantle cell lymphoma. There are many varieties of lymphoma, which are generally broken down into two subgroups — Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma — depending on what cells the cancer is impacting.

Phil’s mantle cell lymphoma is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Dr. Trendle discovered it had already attacked several lymph nodes in Phil’s abdomen, signaling that it was a fastspreading variety. Dr. Trendle says Phil’s type of cancer accounts for 7 percent of all non-Hodgkin’s cases.

Statistics show that out of a million

have cancer and you don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Yet the outlook was far from hopeless. While Phil’s lymphoma was aggressive and spreading quickly, Dr. Trendle knew that this cancer also retreats when faced with chemotherapy.

“This is a potentially curable form of lymphoma,” Dr. Trendle says. “The chances of chemo working and putting it in complete remission are 70 to 80 percent.”

Dr. Trendle also found the reason for Phil’s fatigue. With the cancer invasion, Phil’s immune system had begun destroying his own red blood cells, a problem called hemolytic anemia.

likelihood that the cancer would come back and increase the chance of a cure.

Before long, Phil was at the Stewart Cancer Center for the first of four cycles of chemotherapy. Phil would spend about 10 days in the hospital for each session.

He quickly became acclimated to the Stewart Cancer Center facility and staff.

“The whole hospital experience, I couldn’t ask for any better care, any better support,” he says. “I’ve had better service here than I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Despite being in the hospital, Phil was determined that his life should

go on — and the staff worked with him to accommodate his needs.

He continued working as a sales manager while in the hospital, holding conference calls from his room.

He also wanted to keep physically active. At first, Phil tried walking briskly through the hospital corridors.

But he worried he might accidentally bump into another patient, possibly hurting someone.

He talked with his nurses, and they arranged for Phil to get access to the hospital’s physical therapy floor, which had treadmills.

“It meant so much for them to go out of their way and make that extra effort,” Phil says.

Dr. Trendle praised Phil’s positive attitude and his commitment to keeping active during his treatment.

“You want to do everything you can to maximize your sense of well-being,” he says. “Exercise is a way of doing that.”

While Phil and his family await his next round of scans, which will show how much the cancer is retreating, Dr. Trendle says that Phil’s improving symptoms and

recent blood tests show signs that the chemotherapy is working.

Seeing this progress is rewarding to Dr. Trendle, who says he enjoys doing whatever he can to improve a cancer patient’s life.

“It’s all about trying to help people live as long and as well as they possibly can with the disease and the challenges that they face,” Dr. Trendle says. “I wish everyone could be cured. But even when a cure is not possible, you want to do what you can to control their disease, control their symptoms and maximize quality of life.”

As Phil continues his treatment, he is determined to move forward with an optimistic outlook and an upbeat demeanor. He feels fortunate to have his family, his community and his team of caregivers fighting at his side.

“I don’t think that you can ever know that you’re going to get cancer,” he says. “You have to have faith in God, yourself, family, friends as well as the people who are taking care of you.

You will have your up days and your down days, but you have to surround yourself with strong supportive people.

You really have to be positive.”

Brine Time

Take your turkey to the next level.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We don’t often repeat stories we’ve already run, but Chef Brook Harlan’s instructions for brining have proven so popular and are requested so frequently that we decided to make an exception this month and bring back a story we originally ran in 2006. As someone who once lived in fear of Thanksgiving disaster, I (and my brine-spattered copy of the 2006 issue) can attest to the success of this technique. Have a happy (and exceptionally tasty) Thanksgiving!

— SANDY SELBY

M

ost people ask, “What is brine?” You may have baked, roasted, smoked or even deep-fried a turkey, but until you have brined a turkey, you have not tasted the juiciest and most flavorful turkey.

The basics of brining are simple. Also known as a “wet cure,” brining is a process where meat is soaked in a salt-water solution that swells the protein molecules, thus allowing the meat to better retain moisture.

The flavor of the brine penetrates faster and more effectively, and brined meat is actually more forgiving if slightly overcooked.

If it sounds simple enough, that’s because it is. You just need to follow the basic brine ratio and the appropriate soaking times. The rest is up to you. Have fun and be creative!

BASIC BRINE RATIO 1 GALLON WATER/LIQUID Instead of water, or as part of your liquid, you may use apple cider, 7UP, beer or wine. What liquid you use depends on what flavor you want to incorporate. If your liquid contains sodium you may have to lessen your salt amount in the basic ratio.

You could start with less liquid and finish with ice until your volume reaches 1 gallon. This procedure reduces the amount of time needed to chill the brine prior to adding the meat or poultry.

1 CUP SALT (KOSHER) This is your sodium for the brine. You will need about 9 ounces of sodium by weight; you can replace the salt with sea salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or another highsodium flavoring. This may seem like a lot of sodium, but it is necessary for the proper solution. Keep in mind that only a small percentage actually permeates the meat. ½ CUP SUGAR You may use granulated sugar, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, turbinado sugar (also called raw sugar), honey or any another highly sweetened item.

112

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

AROMATI CS This is where you add the special flavor to the dish; the whole point is to extract the flavors of the aromatics into the liquid so the salt can disperse the flavors into the item being brined.

The amount will vary, depending on how assertive or subtle you want the flavor to be. By partially crushing the spice or lightly shredding herbs you allow the flavorful essential oils to be released into the liquid more easily. You may use such items as peppercorns, cloves of garlic, herbs, lemons, limes, other spices, herbs or fruits. Just about anything you can think of can be used to impart flavor.

THE BRI NE I normally start off with about half the amount of water or liquid, then add all of the other ingredients. After bringing it to a boil, add enough ice to bring it up to the correct ratio (1 gallon if doing the recipe one time). You want to make sure that your brine has cooled below 41 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the item. From this point on, the brined item must remain chilled. If you have space, keep the container in the refrigerator for the soaking time — a rare occurrence around the holidays. Another option is to keep it in a large container inside a cooler; just remember to keep replenishing the ice.

We have been known to keep it outside, barricaded from the pets, if the temperature is between 27 and 40 degrees.

You may use any clean/sanitized container large enough to hold the brine and the completely submerged item. A container that is taller than it is wide requires less brine. A large, food-grade container is the best idea. An old 5-gallon detergent bucket is a bad idea.

After brining the item for the appropriate time, remove it from the brine, dry the skin and lightly season it. At this point, it is a good idea to let the item rest. This resting time allows more even seasoning and a drier skin, resulting in a crisper finish. Larger items will benefit greatly with a few hours of resting time.

Now you may cook it as you wish; I prefer to roast turkey at 350 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. If your turkey has a pop-out thermometer, the first step is to pull it out and throw it away. The pop-up is the easiest way to accidentally overcook your turkey and dry it out. Instead, check it with an instant-read thermometer in numerous places on the bird to ensure that it is fully cooked.

WARNING: Do not deep-fry a brined turkey; the moisture will cause the oil to overflow and explode.

SOAK I N G T I M E S

The maximum soaking time will depend on the size of the item you wish to brine.

Here are some suggested times.

Comparable items (such as a duck, which is about the size of a 3- or 4-pound chicken) will require the same soaking time.

MEAT/ WEIGHT CHART

Fish/small meat items (4–6 ounces): 30–60 minutes Boneless chicken breasts, pork chops (6–10 ounces): 2 hours Whole chicken/bird (2 pounds): 4–6 hours Whole chicken/bird (3–4 pounds): 8–12 hours Pork loin (4 pounds): 12 hours Roast/large meat item: 2–3 hours per pound Whole turkey (10–15 pounds): 18–24 hours Whole turkey (more than 15 pounds): 24–36 hours NOTE: If you accidentally soak your item too long or add too much salt, you may resoak the item for half the original time in unsalted water and the salt will balance out.

BASIC BR I N I N G R E CIPE ½ gallon water 1 cup kosher salt ½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons cracked peppercorns 6 cloves garlic, smashed 3 bay leaves, crushed Approximately 8 cups ice — reserve until after boil (may need more ice to reach total of 1 gallon of liquid) Bring all ingredients (except ice) to a boil, transfer solution to a container large enough to hold brine and item.

Add ice and stir until dissolved. Cool brine to 41 degrees, add item and soak for appropriate time (according to meat/ weight chart). Remove from brine, dry, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook as desired (no deep-frying). *CHECK OUT THE APPLE CIDER BRINE RECIPE ONLINE AT WWW.INSIDECOLUMBIA.NET Brook Harlan is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.

A Legacy

The Old Guard Carne Humana offers a rich blend of old-vine reds.

In this season of tradition, enjoy the flavors of Napa Valley’s signature old-guard varietals at your table JDB Wines’ Carne Humana is a proprietary blend of six old-vine grapes sourced from vineyards in the upper Napa Valley. Primarily Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah, the blend also includes Zinfandel, Syrah, Charbono and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The resulting deep ruby wine has an intense aroma of dark berries and Bing cherries. The rich flavor carries a taste of cherries, raspberries and chocolate with an undercurrent of blackberries that brings a promise of sweetness cut by firm tannins. The bold structure and balanced acidity give the wine depth; the oaky finish lingers.

This is a meat-lover’s wine. Serve it with grilled meats and hearty beef dishes.

The old-vine reds and heritage varietals that thrive in the gravelly loam soils and warm Napa Valley climate contribute to a unique complexity and rich texture in the Carne Humana blend. Each grape

brings its own characteristics to deepen the wine’s complexity: Petit Verdot has firm tannins and violet notes; Petite Sirah offers structure, inky color and chocolate flavor; Zinfandel brings lively acidity, dark red fruit and blackberries to the blend; from Syrah comes peppery spice; Cabernet Sauvignon adds a taste of cherries, plums and blueberries, along with structure and tannins; Charbono, a scarce heritage grape, gives the blend jammy blackberry and smooth plum notes.

The unusual mix of varietals is not the only innovation for this blend. Rather than create each component from separate lots and combine before bottling, Carne Humana was co-fermented and barrel-aged as a single lot for greater integration. The wine was aged in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 18 months.

Carne Humana is available through Copper Cane Wines & Provisions. Look for it at your favorite local wine shop.

The macabre name emblazoned on the label of Carne Humana wine is steeped in Old Guard tradition. Before there were vineyards in California’s Napa Valley, there was a wilderness occupied by the Wappo Indian tribe.

In 1841, the Mexican government granted more than 17,000 acres to English physician Edward Turner Bale, a tract that stretched the length of the upper Napa Valley. Some say the grant was in gratitude for Bale’s services as a surgeon in the Mexican army; others say the army’s general, Mariano Vallejo, had had enough of the colorful Englishman’s antics and simply wanted to get rid of him by banishing him to the north. In any event, Bale and his wife — Gen. Vallejo’s niece — built an adobe home on the land he christened Rancho Carne Humana (Spanish for “human flesh ranch”). Bale’s choice of names is a mystery — whether it was a reference to his surgical skills or the fear that the nearby Wappo might be cannibals, no one knows.

Bale lived only a few years after becoming a landowner. He joined the Gold Rush in the late 1840s but died of stomach cancer before he found any riches. His widow and six children were left in financial straits but they hung on to their land. Bale’s daughter Caroline and her husband, vintner Charles Krug, planted grapes on their tract near present-day St. Helena. Krug made the first commercial wine in Napa County in 1858. He founded Charles Krug Winery in 1861, the oldest operating winery in Napa Valley.

A Punch In A Pear Tree Satisfy a thirsty crowd with this people-pleaser.

Holiday season is fast approaching, and notepads and calendars are filling up with to-do lists and holiday party commitments. If you’re throwing your own holiday party this year, chances are you’re looking for a fun new cocktail recipe to serve to your guests. Buck the traditional punch recipe and try this “punchy” drink from Sara Fougere, owner of Sara Fougere Catering. This cocktail fits all occasions from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. Originally, punch contained five ingredients — alcohol, sugar, lemon, water and tea or spices. The Sanskrit term was first brought to England from India in the early 17th century.

Since then, punch bowls have existed as a cultural staple in celebratory and group social situations. From English taverns to high school dances, punch is an easily sharable and recognizable menu item. Southern Bourbon Punch and fruit punch are among the most popular punches.

For this punch remake, Fougere combines two wintery flavors — pear and juniper — for a friendly, cheery concoction that’s both easy to make and easy to drink. The pear flavor comes from the cider. For this recipe, Fougere uses Woodchuck Pear Hard Cider (she also enjoys Ace Pear Hard Cider), which has a light pear and honey flavor and resembles champagne in appearance. Juniper — or gin — is both tart and sharp, with a slightly piney flavor and hints of citrus. Together, they offer a sweet, sharp and bubbly palate experience.

Fougere suggests using a taller cocktail glass for this punch.

“You want to be able to see the bubbles from the cider, but it needs to be bigger than a champagne glass,” she says.

Fougere enjoys this easy-drinking cocktail because “something about the juniper flavor of the gin goes really well with the pear,” she says. “If you want to do something different, feel free to add a splash of cranberry or bitters.”

“It’s easy to mix up, because it’s a two-ingredient cocktail,” Fougere says. “You just chill the gin, divide by glasses and top with the cider.”

Fougere suggests serving “lovely mild cheeses, like Brie” or “you could go stronger and do some bleu instead.” Fougere also suggests serving anything with bacon in it alongside this drink.

When planning your holiday soirée, Fougere advises you to “be organized and make lists.” And with this recipe, you can check off beverages from your party list.

Squash Any Doubt Your family will love this easy take on acorn squash.

Winter squash doesn’t actually grow in the winter; it becomes ripe in late summer and early fall. Once ripe, the skin has thickened and the squash is ready to store for the long winter.

There are many varieties of winter squash and they each have their own niche to fill. The most common are butternut, spaghetti and acorn. There are numerous other hybrid, heirloom and specialty winter squash. Butternut works great for utilizing the actual squash because there is a very small seed cavity to flesh ratio. Spaghetti squash has a unique flesh that shreds into spaghettilike strands. Once it’s baked, just drag a fork across it and then use as desired.

Acorn squash has a large center cavity and is great for stuffing once the squash has been split, seeded and parcooked.

ACORN SQUASH This dish can be served as an entrée or side — it will depend on the size of the acorn squash. A small squash could be cut in half and would work well; others may need to be cut into quarters or sixths. (No matter the size, scoop out the seeds when you cut it in half.) Acorn squash makes a great vessel to hold the stuffing, but it will not be edible if it is still raw. Make sure you season and cook the seeded squash most of the way before stuffing.

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH Makes 4 stuffed squash 2 acorn squash (each about the size of a softball) Olive oil or vegetable oil, as needed Salt and pepper, as needed 1 onion, small diced 1 bell pepper, small diced 1 cup sliced or diced mushrooms 1 cup cooked white rice 1 cup cooked brown rice 1 cup cooked wild rice ¾ cup toasted pecan pieces ½ to 1 cup grated Parmesan or other cheese, as desired Thyme, oregano and sage, as needed.

STUFFING You can add just about anything to the stuffing, so don’t feel tied down to the recipe that follows. Abide by just a few key rules and you can make the recipe fit whatever flavor profile you want. Grains should be cooked and seasoned; you’re not limited to rice only. You could try quinoa, bulgur wheat, grits, millet or just about anything else you like.

Make sure that all vegetables for the stuffing are cooked and seasoned. Once you’ve combined the stuffing ingredients, make sure it binds well (adding more cheese helps). Sample for taste and season again, if necessary.

FINISHING When the squash comes out of the oven with warm stuffing, you are not too far away from the finished product. Just a short time in the oven and you are ready to eat. To ease your work on the day of your dinner, cook and stuff the squash a few days ahead of time. Cool the uncovered stuffed squash in the refrigerator.

Once cool, keep them wrapped until the day of your event. It will take a little longer to heat up because the squash will be cold in the center. Start the squash at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn the heat up to 350 degrees and finish as in the original recipe.

Cut squash in half from top to bottom.

(If you cannot find a smaller squash, cut one large squash into quarters.)

Scoop out the seeds. (Rinse and toast the seeds for a tasty snack.) Brush the inside of the squash with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place the squash on a sheet tray or in an ovensafe dish. Place into a 350-degree oven for 7 to 15 minutes until squash is about ¾ of the way cooked. Remove from oven and allow to cool until comfortable to handle. You will be able to check for doneness by using a paring knife; it should pierce the inside of the squash easily. When pulling out the knife, the flesh should barely hold onto the knife before releasing.

While the squash is baking, sautĂŠ onion, pepper, and mushrooms in a small amount of oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix together sautĂŠed vegetables and all other ingredients for stuffing, season with salt, pepper and herbs as desired; tasting as you mix.

Pack stuffing into squash cavity (preparation can be done 1 to 2 days beforehand) and place into a 350-degree oven until heated though and the stuffing is golden brown.

Serve warm.

Keep On Truckin’ Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. is having fun while honoring its heritage.

A golden brown crust protects the light and soft interior of an Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. biscuit. Between its two halves can sit anything from Patchwork Farms ham, smoked cheddar cheese and housemade pepper jelly to fried chicken with a soft egg, fried greens and sawmill gravy, or a fried green tomato with crispy bacon or tempeh, pimento cheese and arugula. Or you can just smother the buttermilk biscuit with gravy. Every gustatory masterpiece reflects a regional, creative flavor, rooted in Ozark Mountain family heritage.

Before opening the Ozark Mountain Biscuit Co. food truck in August 2013, executive chef and proprietor Bryan Maness worked as executive chef and general manager of Broadway Brewery and general manager at Café Berlin.

Maness opened Ozark Mountain with his brother, Brent, and uncle, Michael — both remain partners in the business despite living in San Francisco and New Orleans, respectively. “I call general meetings quarterly to ensure we stay on the cutting edge of the biscuit business,” Maness says.

Family inspired the trio to open their own traveling biscuit-based restaurant, enamored with the low overhead costs and mobility that a food truck allows. “My family has a long history of preparing and serving delicious food,” Maness says.

“My great-grandfather Peck ran Peck’s Doghouse down in Searcy, Ark., in the 1950s. But the real inspiration for the biscuit truck’s cuisine comes from the Southern women in my family who made a point to prepare nutritious, home-cooked food for their families. Of course, back in the day it was all local and organic … so I guess you could say we just returned to our roots.”

Maness grew up in southern Missouri,

122

INSIDE COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 2014

with generations of his family born and raised throughout the Ozarks of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. There, the Haney, Maness and Walker families sharecropped, farmed, canned and moonshined — all while developing recipes they have passed down through the years. Eventually, the recipe cards reached Maness.

“An heirloom is something of value, not necessarily economic, passed down from one generation to another,” Maness says.

“Like an heirloom seed saved for planting in next spring’s garden, our recipes have been considered special enough to be handed down through the years to feed our future families and friends.”

The food truck menu boasts classic items (biscuits and gravy, greens, pie, cornbread, etc.), as well as some more unusual offerings (“Chicken Fried Chicken,” “Sooie Pig,” “Arkansauce,” etc.). With suppliers (and friends) such as Patchwork Farms, Show-Me Farms Beef, Crop Circle and farmers such as Tony Speichinger, Odie Swanigan and David Thomas, Ozark Mountain keeps its ingredients fresh, seasonal and regional.

“We source local and organic ingredients from family farmers whenever possible,” Maness says.

Fans can find the truck parked in and around Columbia throughout each week.

Ozark Mountain regularly updates its website and social media sites to reflect upcoming locations. In doing so, it joins other local restaurants and bars such as Logboat Brewing and Pizza Tree who are finding success through an engaged and

excited social media presence.

Entrepreneurship is a bumpy road.

For Maness, the challenges are reflected in the words of singer/songwriter Todd Snider: “The poverty, the anxiety and some scrutiny.” The rewards, too, he says, find description in Snider’s words: “The money, the compliments and the publicity.”

Next summer, Maness plans to build a separate truck to travel to faraway festivals and catering events. For those worried that Ozark Mountain may travel too far, this biscuit truck is laying down its roots in Columbia, Maness says. The company plans to open a brick-and-mortar location in downtown Columbia in 2016.

PUT A CORK IN IT Take those wine corks you’ve been saving and turn them into name-card holders for your next dinner party.

Simply take the cork and, with a box-cutting knife, slice a straight line on the edge of your choosing. Write or calligraphy each guest’s name on a sturdy piece of paper and slowly slide the paper into the cutout groove.

Cheers!

Michaelyn Curry & Justin Walters Married June 14, 2014

F

or their first date, Michaelyn Curry and Justin Walters planned to go miniature golfing, but when they saw how crowded the course was, they decided instead to go stargazing on Michaelyn’s land north of Columbia.

“We sat on the tailgate of his jeep and talked,” Michaelyn says. “Pretty simple.”

Justin and Michaelyn met through his mother, who had worked with Michaelyn. Their laid-back first date on Aug. 4, 2005, was the start of a romance that thrived on comfortable togetherness. One of their favorite pastimes became bowhunting on the same land where they went stargazing. In April 2013, they followed a morning hunt with a picnic and fishing. Justin handed Michaelyn her pole, and she saw he had baited it with a diamond ring.

Justin and Michaelyn were wed on June 14, 2014, at St. Andrews Lutheran Church. The Rev. Julia Will officiated.

Michaelyn wore a full-length A-line lace and chiffon gown with a custom halter strap. Crystal beading sparkled throughout the

gown’s lace, complemented by a chapel-length chiffon veil with lace on the scalloped edges. She wore her hair down but swept to the left with a pearl comb in the back and accessorized with a three-strand pearl necklace featuring a crystal pendant, crystal earrings and a three-strand pearl bracelet with a broach. Her bouquet featured ivory roses and lilies with a strand of white orchids trailing down the stems. Sparkling throughout the blooms were rhinestones and pearls.

Michaelyn’s maid of honor, her sole attendant, wore a flowing full-length pale yellow dress with a corset back and halter top. She carried ivory roses.

Justin wore a gray suit with a white shirt and pale yellow tie.

His best man wore the same, except his tie was striped gray, white and yellow.

The ceremony included several personalized elements.

“Pastor Julia told our story, read verses that describe our relationship and have meaning to us, and read a letter from my grandparents Billie and Carl Curry, who could not make the trip,”

Michaelyn says.

The service also included a presentation of roses to Justin and Michaelyn’s mothers, a memorial candle for Justin’s grandmother and Michaelyn’s brother, and a unity candle. The couple exchanged nontraditional vows.

A reception followed at The Club at Old Hawthorne. The evening began in the club’s dining room, where guests mingled and ate dinner in a formal atmosphere, and then moved to a white tent, where a more relaxed ambience reigned for toasts, cake cutting and dancing.

In the club’s dining room, crisp vintage lace runners and ivory floral centerpieces on classic silver trays enhanced the room’s elegance. A few tables held tall glass vases topped with hydrangeas, a dramatic design element carried into the next space. The sweetheart table had its own look with a full lace tablecloth, lace on the backs of the chairs and cascading white orchids across the table’s front.

In the tent, modern white lounge furniture edged the dance floor. Pops of yellow brightened up the space, appearing in the linens and accents, as well as in a stunning oversized fabric chan-

delier centered above the dance floor.

The chandelier provided a beautiful glow late into the evening as guests danced the night away.

The three-tiered round wedding cake was covered with rows of edible white and silver buttons, traced with tiny ivoryon-ivory dots. The groom’s cake was vanilla with chocolate buttercream icing, decorated with gears as a tribute to Justin’s engineering studies.

For their honeymoon, Michaelyn and Justin spent a week at A Royal Hacienda in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Michaelyn is the daughter of Michael and Mary Curry of Columbia.

She works as a licensed professional nurse at Broadway Urgent Care. Justin is the son of Gary and Kim Walters. He owns Tiger Services, an exterior house cleaning service.

Heather Slansky & Corey Johnson Married January 11, 2014

C

orey Johnson and Heather Slansky were just eighth-graders when they met in the Christian Chapel Church youth group in 2005.

“We started ‘dating’ in junior high and basically grew into the perfect match for each other,” Heather says.

They knew as early as high school that they wanted to spend their lives together, but neither was ready for wedding bells that soon. A year and a half after graduation, on Dec. 18, 2011, Corey felt the timing was right for an engagement. He took Heather out to dinner and then to the Magic Tree, a tree in the Village of Cherry Hill famous for its thousands of holiday lights.

Not at all suspecting Corey’s plan to propose, Heather kept offering to snap photos of other couples and teenagers at the tree.

“I didn’t realize Corey was trying to get a word in edgewise to pop the question!” she says.

When he finally found his chance, and Heather said “yes,” both of their families popped out from behind some bushes — where they had sneaked photos of the proposal — and offered a toast with sparkling grape juice.

Corey and Heather were wed on Jan. 11, 2014, at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, on the Westminster College campus in Fulton.

Heather wore a floor-length ivory lace gown with a light-gold underlay. It featured a V neckline, with sheer lace straps, a sheer lace back and a lace train.

A light-gold belt with crystal detailing on the front added a touch of sparkle.

Heather further accessorized with her

mother’s mantilla veil and a necklace, bracelet and earrings borrowed from her mother-inlaw. In her bouquet, she carried many of her late grandmother’s jewelry pieces. The soft coral and white shades in her bouquet were reminiscent of colors in her parents’ wedding.

The bridesmaids wore floorlength satin gold gowns in various styles. They accessorized with coral earrings and necklaces — gifts from the bride — and their bouquets featured rich jewel tones of purple and blue, and peacock feathers.

Corey and his groomsmen wore traditional black tuxedos with white shirts. Corey’s alone had satin detailing, and he wore a gold bow tie; the groomsmen

wore long gold ties. For their boutonnieres, all wore blue and purple orchids with a peacock feather.

The beautiful Christopher Wren-designed church where Corey and Heather said their vows asked for little decoration.

Gold pew bows were the only added embellishment.

Corey and Heather’s former youth pastor, the Rev. Michael Escamilla, traveled back to Missouri to officiate. He spoke on how Corey and Heather’s love had grown and read Scripture. Then Corey and Heather exchanged private vows.

“This was everyone’s favorite part,” Heather says. “We stepped to the back of the stage and,

facing away from everyone else, quietly read the words we wrote for each other. My sister, Rachel Slansky, sang ‘It Feels Like Home to Me’ during this, and many tears were shed from us and across the room.”

Corey and Heather also took Communion from a family Communion set she had made.

They read public nontraditional vows they had written together, exchanged rings and enjoyed their first kiss as a married couple. As the minister pronounced them husband and wife, guests celebrated by ringing small jingle bells.

The reception took place in Mueller Leadership Hall, also on the Westminster campus.

“It truly wowed the guests,”

Heather says of the facility, “and many people commented that it looked like it was straight out of Hogwarts!”

The dining room was decorated with gold pieces, including painted wine bottles, picture frames and candelabras, as well as tall, thin glass vases filled with purple and blue flowers, peacock feathers and gold accent pieces.

“The room felt cozy and lively with all of the rich colors and dramatic lighting,” Heather says.

The four-tiered, round wedding cake was covered with a light coral icing and embellished with strands of gold detailing and a frosted gold medallion on the side of one tier.

For their honeymoon, Heather and Corey spent six nights at the Dreams Cancún Resort & Spa in the Caribbean.

Today, Heather and Corey continue to live in Columbia. Heather is a ninthgrade teacher for Jefferson City Public Schools, and pursuing a master’s degree full time in the University of Missouri Teaching Fellowship Program. Corey is an equipment technician at MBS Textbook Exchange.

Heather is the daughter of Pam and Barry Slansky of Columbia, and Corey is the son of Debi and Bud Johnson of Columbia.

A NEW VIEW l

BY L.G. PATTERSON

as a photographer, I have access to some unique points of view in the community. here is one of them, in A New View.

Assignment: Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival THE LOCATION: Stephens Lake Park

W

hen I saw the Ferris wheel at the Roots N Blues music festival, I knew I was going to ride it. It’s a great way to get a new perspective on your surroundings. No matter what the event, I try to get on the Ferris wheel.

The first one I ever climbed on was at a carnival in a small town. I watched them build the thing on the town square during the day. That night, I was one of the first ones to take a ride. I remember it going really slow and swaying from side to side. It wasn’t the finest construction, but I lived through it.

The Roots N Blues Ferris wheel looked similar to that first one I rode, but it seemed a lot sturdier. It did move at a brisk pace, which was fun, but it made it a little more difficult to take photos.

When I stepped off, I’ll admit I was a bit woozy.

THE FINAL WORD l

FRED@INSIDECOLUMBIA.NET

Tiger Fans Welcome Kim Anderson’s Return To Mizzou

T

here’s an almost palpable sense of anticipation in the air as Tiger fans await the beginning of the University of Missouri men’s basketball season.

It’s hard to explain — nobody seems to have high expectations about the Tigers’ chances for postseason play, but nonetheless, Columbians are more than giddy about the return of Kim Anderson to the Mizzou hardwood.

For some, Anderson’s return is about restoring a tradition that has significantly faded over the years. It’s a tradition that harkens back to the glory days in the Hearnes Center when kids named Sundvold, Stipanovich, Chievous and Prince played with an intensity that had fans standing on their feet, captivated by the energy in that arena. They remember a tradition that goes back to the days when a conference championship was more of an expectation than an unexpected fluke. The powerhouse that was Missouri basketball put Columbia in the national spotlight for weeks at a time in the 1980s and early ’90s.

For many, Kim Anderson’s return symbolizes the return of honor and integrity that seemed to fade during the last 15 years.

There’s a new sheriff in town and Kim Anderson seems to be a straight shooter with very little tolerance for off-the-court antics.

Anderson stresses to his young players that pride and social responsibility come with wearing a Mizzou basketball jersey. Many of these young men haven’t been exposed to the kind of positive influence that Anderson offers.

Just as significant as changing the culture of Missouri basketball, Anderson will bring back those longtime Missouri basketball fans who became disenfranchised when Norm Stewart left the program in 1999. The painful years of the Quin Snyder experiment were followed by a disconnected era when fans and alumni couldn’t relate to the coaching styles of Mike Anderson or Frank Haith. It’s already obvious that these fans feel a different, almost inexplicable, type of connection with Kim Anderson. This unique bond may be tied to his Missouri roots as a Sedalia native or perhaps the time he spent on the court during Missouri’s glory days. Whatever it is, it

“… Anderson’s return is about restoring a tradition that has significantly faded over the years.”

seems magical for the moment.

As a longtime Missouri basketball fan, it’s been difficult to watch the program falter in recent years. It’s been disappointing to see the large number of empty seats in Mizzou Arena during conference games, and the virtual ghost town it becomes during nonconference matchups.

At some point in the last couple of years, Missouri fans lost interest in this once-great program and they made their dissatisfaction known by leaving their seats empty. I believe Kim Anderson is going to change all that and I have no doubt that Mizzou Arena will be near capacity, more often than not, during the coming season.

Missouri Athletics Director Mike Alden deserves high praise for bringing Anderson back into the fold. He may have had reservations but he also knew that Missouri fans had had their fill of the recent coaching mismatches.

Because of his initial popularity and appeal with Mizzou Nation, Anderson will likely have a longer honeymoon than fans typically afford most coaches. There will still be an expectation that Anderson return Missouri to national prominence at some point in the next few years, in spite of what he’s inherited. Remember, Missouri fans are fickle.

History has shown that they will sing a coach’s praises one day only to call for his job a few weeks later.

Now that we have the right coach in place, we must support Kim Anderson and our Missouri Tigers. The first way is to simply show up to every game this season. Gone are the days of playing Marathon Oil and Austin Peay in the early season. Mizzou has some daunting opponents on its fall schedule and we need to fill every seat in that arena.

If you can’t make it to a game, give your tickets to someone who would love to attend.

We also can show our affinity for the program by helping support the Tiger Scholarship Fund. This amazing fund helps student athletes with tuition assistance and academic support. It’s one small way to show our appreciation for the sacrifices made by so many student athletes. Balancing the demands of coursework while trying to achieve world-class status as an athlete is no simple task.

Kim Anderson and his wife, Melissa, say they’ve been blown away by the warm welcome they’ve received on their return to Columbia. Let’s kick off a new era of Missouri basketball by showing up and letting the Southeastern Conference know that Missouri basketball is back … and it’s here to stay!
