People planner Cahokia’s Jarrot Mansion to celebrate 200th birthday The oldest brick building in Illinois and the St. Louis region is having a 200th birthday this spring, and everyone is invited on select days to take a rare tour of the structure in Cahokia, Illinois. Special tours for individuals, groups and schools are being offered to recognize the 200th anniversary of the Nicholas Jarrot Mansion State Historic Site. The tours may be scheduled on the hour from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 29; Friday, April 30; Thursday, May 6; and Friday, May 7. Advance reservations for the 45-minutes guided tours are required and may

be made by calling (618) 332-1782. The Jarrot Mansion will be open to the public, with no reservations required, on Saturday, May 1 and Saturday, May 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. These tour opportunities provide a rare opportunity for the public to view this 1810 structure, and offers unique an insight into the original paint schemes and wallpaper designs that are being carefully duplicated in the house, including the second floor ballroom. The interior is so intact that Nicholas Jarrot would find his home familiar today. The ongoing restoration of Illinois’ oldest brick building, the stunning interior finishes project, and the behind-the-scenes detective work that has gone into the project will be featured during tours. The Jarrot Mansion, completed

in 1810 by native Frenchman and entrepreneur Nicholas Jarrot, was built in the Federal style, and the imposing two-story mansion stands in stark contrast to the traditional French colonial timber buildings prominent in early Cahokia. The Mansion is a reflection of the owner’s regional importance. In 1803, Jarrot, a fur trader and land speculator, befriended the explorers Lewis and Clark, and Jarrot was instrumental in helping them establish their winter quarters on land he owned on the Cahokia frontier. The Mansion was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001. The Jarrot Mansion, administered by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA), is open only on special occasions during the year. The Jarrot Mansion Project, a notfor-profit advocacy group for the

historic house, is assisting IHPA with tours and events during 2010 to celebrate the Mansion’s 200 years. The Jarrot Mansion is located at

the intersection of Highway 157 and Route 3 in Cahokia. Call (618) 3321782 for more information and to schedule tours.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“Clash of the Titans”

Who wants to be a god, anyway? That’s the principle twist inserted into the remake of the sometimes fondly recalled, technologically dated 1981 film about the fury of the gods of Mount Olympus and the rise of the young, earthly demigod Perseus. This time, Perseus (Sam Worthington) bears a distaste for his godlike nature. He fights a serpentine Medusa, the sea monster Kraken and other mythical beasts for mankind, not for the deities. Liam Neeson plays the angry god Zeus, while Ralph Fiennes, in a cloud of black smog, plays Hades. Directed by Louis Leterrier (2008’s “The Incredible Hulk”), “Titans” will lure moviegoers chiefly by its digital effects (which are good but forgettable) and its promise of 3-D spectacle (which, having been converted from 2-D to 3-D in post, disappoints altogether). Worthington, the Australian star of “Avatar,” doesn’t supply the charisma the movie needs and the whole thing feels like a joyless slog. RATED: PG-13 for fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief sensuality. RUNNING TIME: 106 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“Don McKay”

First-time writer-director Jake Goldberger delivers plenty of wicked humor with his “Blood Simple”-style film noir. It works to a degree thanks to the eager cast led by Thomas Haden Church, Elisabeth Shue and Melissa Leo. But the laughs are disjointed as each character one-ups the next with crazier and crazier revelations. Haden Church stars as a lonely janitor reunited with his dying high school sweetie (Shue), with Leo as the woman’s stern, suspicious nurse. Nothing and no one is quite who they seem among this threesome and their odd associates. Goldberger is stingy about revealing anything for much of the way, the movie becoming an endless tease. When the movie finally spills its secrets, they come in a torrent, the story lapsing into silliness just as the suspense is supposedly peaking. The climax remains very entertaining, but it’s more of a film-noir spoof ending that feels too madcap after the long, nearly static setup Goldberger maintained early on. RATED: R for language and some violence. RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

April 29, 2010

“After.life”

Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson’s horror thriller decomposes quickly, becoming an incomprehensible muddle about a woman who wakes up in a funeral home, where she’s told by an undertaker that she died in a car wreck. At its most titillating, writer-director Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo’s debut feature amounts to necrophiliac porn — Ricci lounging sexily on a mortician’s slab either fully naked or in a short red underdress, like a poster girl for the Edgar Allan Poe Society. The movie piles on hokey foreshadowing of doom, psychobabble ramblings about life and death and pointless filler material about the woman’s boyfriend (Justin Long). Neeson never does more than act like a big scary undertaker, though he manages it creepily enough. But Ricci’s whiny, sniffly “I’m not dead” performance belongs in a “Scary Movie” spoof. RATED: R for nudity, disturbing images, language and brief sexuality. RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

“Date Night”

Steve Carell and Tina Fey’s night out is not so much a bad date as a sad date. These are two of the funniest people ever on television, yet this big-screen comedy is a dreary, uninspired waste of their talents — and those of the top-name cast inexplicably appearing in throwaway roles, including Mark Wahlberg, Mark Ruffalo and James Franco. The movie manages the barest glimmers of the droll humor of Carell’s “The Office” and the snappy wit of Fey’s “30 Rock.” Carell and Fey have an easy, affectionate rapport as run-down parents whose big evening out leads to mistaken identity and sets them on the run from crooks. The actors try hard to make it work, but the lowbrow sensibilities of director Shawn Levy (the “Night at the Museum” movies) leave them tottering through painful verbal exchanges, lame stunts and other dreadfully unfunny hijinks. RATED: PG-13 for sexual and crude content throughout, language, some violence and a drug reference. RUNNINNG TIME: 88 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

“The Square”

James M. Cain has been resurrected as an Aussie. The Australian neo-noir thriller “The Square” blatantly but faithfully channels Cain’s hard-boiled tales of doomed affairs and dubious murder plots. An adulterous couple, seeing a chance for a getaway together with a bundle of cash, go for it. Raymond Yale (David Roberts) is a middle-aged, gray-haired man having an affair with the beautiful, younger Carla (Claire van der Boom) — a waif of a femme fatale. As their plot spirals out of control, the film reveals a twisted sense of humor hinted at by the short film preceding the feature: the nine-minute “Spider.” RATED: R for violence and language. RUNNING TIME: 101 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“When You’re Strange: A Film About the Doors”

Tom DiCillo’s documentary means to answer the more loony flights of fancy taken by Oliver Stone in his 1991 Doors biopic, but, in the process, creates a formal exercise in redundancy, offering no new insights into the much mythologized rock band. The movie does boast unseen archival footage of Doors band members Jim Morrison, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore rehearsing, performing, hanging out backstage and, in the case of singer Morrison, defining, for better and worse, the rock-star template that some musicians still follow to this day. Die-hard fans will also revel in seeing several scenes from an experimental film Morrison made with friends in 1969 out in the Southern California desert. But that home movie footage is more revelatory than anything else in DiCillo’s film, which rehashes the band’s well-chronicled, boom-to-bust history in rote fashion. R AT E D : R f o r s o m e s e x u a l c o n t e n t i n c l u d i n g references, nudity, drug material and language. RUNNING TIME: 85 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

Movies “The Jonses” has a clever concept By DAVID GERMAIN Associated Press “The Joneses” has a very clever concept: A marketing company dispatches a family of insanely appealing people, led by heads of household David Duchovny and Demi Moore, to make their neighbors covet all the cool gadgets and products they’ve got. It makes for good, though not great, satire of the consumer culture that helped wreck the economy, a gotta-have-it mindset that continues to flare up even in hard times (iPad, anyone?). Duchovny and Moore do a fine job hawking first-time writerdirector Derrick Borte’s premise, even if the story does diminish from a razor-sharp opening to a meandering midsection to a mushy Hollywood ending. Audiences won’t come away with any deep insights about our advertising age of acquisitiveness. But they will keep up with “The Joneses,” whose stars make it breezy and entertaining despite the gimmick at the heart of the story. The movie opens as Steve and Kate Jones (Duchovny and Moore) move into a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood with their high school kids, Jenn (Amber Heard) and Mick (Ben Hollingsworth). The Joneses’ impact is immediate: They have the newest, nicest everything — electronic devices, furnishings, cars, jewelry, clothes, food and wine. And they are beyond eager to share the particulars of each product — where to get it and what makes it so good — with their new friends, including Larry and Summer (Gary Cole and Glenne Headly), neighbors w h o a t t e m p t t o re n e w t h e i r strained marriage by following the conspicuous example of the Joneses. Turns out the new folks on

Associated Press

In this image released by Roadside Attractions, David Duchovny, left, and Demi Moore are shown in a scene from, “The Joneses.” the block are not a real family, but a group of stealth marketers overseen by KC (Lauren Hutton), an executive who specifies the products their company’s clients want pushed. After an excellent setup, the story sputters. Borte tacks on some interpersonal hijinks for Jenn and Mick that add little, and it’s hard to imagine that the

townsfolk would be fooled into believing that twentysomethings Heard and Hollingsworth are high schoolers, though that’s a small gripe. Hollywood has been selling grown-ups as kids in movies forever. What holds “The Joneses” together so well is the great interplay between Duchovny and Moore.

“The X-Files” and “Californication” star Duchovny has strained at some big-screen romantic leads before, but he nails this one with his easy charm and salesman’s finesse. Moore has made some odd choices (“Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle”?) given how picky she’s been on parts for more than a decade. She’s relaxed and seems

to be having a great time in “The Joneses,” making Kate’s strange domestic relationship with Steve fun to watch as the two grow closer. It stays fun even as the movie ultimately sells out with a fuzzy romantic climax. But like any good case of envy, “The Joneses” leaves you vaguely dissatisfied and wanting more.

Two movies that total four stars By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Superheroes are everywhere, thinks Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), the nerd protagonist at the heart of Kick-Ass, a shocking new action-comedy. They’re on television, in films, in comic books, and at strong annual conventions built in their honor. So why don’t real people take things to the streets, like Batman, and start exercising their rights to vigilante justice? While an interesting question, its best answer never crosses Dave’s mind as he turns himself into the scuba-suited, batonwielding alter ego named “Kick-Ass.” Ti re d o f s e e i n g t h u g s i n h i s l o c a l Brooklyn neighborhood taking advantage of the weak, Dave decides to do something about it. His hero, though, isn’t strong or

April 29, 2010

mentally very sharp. Rather than work toward becoming a fireman or a spinal surgeon (heroic callings, as I seem them), he uses violence against violence. The YouTube sensation he creates spawns both groupie followers (Lyndsy Fonseca) and imitators (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) who do nothing to reverse this misguided effort at helping out the little guy. Rather, they lead Dave into a nightmare against a drug cartel kingpin (Mark Strong) whose skyscraper penthouse sets the stage for the best close quarters gun battle since The Matrix shredded that office park lobby ten years ago. The B-plot of “Kick-Ass” is actually better than the main focus. It follows HitGirl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), two actual vigilante superheroes that bump into Dave’s Kick-

Ass as he does his thing. Without training or coordination, he provided comic relief for this father/daughter duo and their swift and well-executed form of bloody justice. Moretz, in particular (the scene-stealing little sister from (500) Days of Summer can also be seen in theatres in Diary of a Wimpy Kid), is a pure treasure. She’s cute as a button, especially in her neon purple wig, which draws as much attention to this thirteen-year old girl as does her character ’s dirty mouth. She’s going places, this kid. “Kick-Ass” runs 126 minutes and is rated R for strong brutal violence throughout, pervasive language, sexual content, nudity, and some drug use – some involving children. I give this film two stars out of four. Also premiering this week is a special event called “Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D. “ Since all big stars get the 3-D treatment

these days, it seems likely that Country/ Pop/Island Beat mainstay Kenny Chesney would be due the same. This performance is a concert film set over six NFL arena shows in the summer of 2009. He struts, sings, and plays to his crowd with vigor and enthusiasm that I’m told goes into his life shows just as well as it comes across on-screen. Such hits as “Keg in the Closet” and “Summertime” rock the house and I learned that this East Tennessee hillbilly has come a long way since his first hit single, “She Thinks My Tractor ’s Sexy.” True fans should catch this one during its limited engagement…especially since his continuously sold-out concerts are so hard to get into. Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D runs 98 minutes and is Not Rated. I give this show two stars out of four.

n a Ev n a m g a W SIUE student featured in exhibit

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge A student at Southern Illinois University, Evan Wagman is on the home stretch for receiving his graduate degree from the university. He is hosting an art show opening entitled “Abstracted Translations” on Friday, April 30, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the new Wagner Gallery in the SIUE Art and Design Building.

The event is open to the public. Evan is a graduate student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and has been fortunate to work both in and out of academia. After he received his undergraduate degree from Rider University in Sociology, he was providential to attend a Raku workshop in Cordes Sur Ceil, France. After the workshop, he began a pottery tour through France,

spending a combined month in the villages of Vallauris, Saint Quentin La Potterie, La Borne, and finally in Milsbeek, Holland, where he met a potter, Thomas Thunig, from Germany. “He invited me to his studio in Schmolln Germany, where I spent six months researching wood firing techniques, production pottery, and the operation of a business and gallery. From Germany, I went on to participate in a two month concentration at Penland School of Crafts with Sequoia Miller,” said Wagman. Motivated to move forward with a strong ceramic foundation, he enrolled as a Special Student at Pennsylvania State University with Chris Staley and Liz Quakenbush for a year and a half. When describing his art format and what he has prepared for the upcoming show, Wagman said, “Influence, pressure, strain, wonder and curiosity are the main focus of my current work. The pieces are comprised of thrown, altered and hand built clay forms, reflecting varying degrees of external and internal pressures. As a consequence, perception of inner and outer space is changed and challenged.” His pieces are extremely unique and personal. He puts all of his experiences into his pieces, making them not only reflective of an object,

but of what he feels. “My sculptures give form to something not ordinarily tangible. They are reflective of unseen emotions resulting from exposure to pressure, strain, and influence. My fascination is with the relationship between internal and external realities; the dualism of inside and outside, content and form, feeling and shape. The work reflects a personal ideation and cataloging of emotion. Every day we experience the tension between presence and absence. The anxiety felt has the potential to be both constructive and destructive. Embracing these thoughts compel me to continue exploring how best to represent emotions from subsequent experiences on a day to day basis,” said Wagman. It is the inherent properties of clay that allow him to continue the exploration of this fascinating material. The expressive and tactile qualities have encouraged him to investigate and translate his ideas of unseen emotion we all carry with us. “I recognize the intrinsic character and beauty of the medium, as well as respect its natural limitations, which for me represent our own limits as human beings.” said Wagman.

Family Focus

Lafayette Square Spring House and Garden Tour scheduled By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge Residents of the metro area are so fortunate to live in a part of the country where history is respected and preserved. There are numerous neighborhoods that are filled with gorgeous historic homes that have been painstakingly preserved and/ or restored in order to maintain their integrity. The architecture, design, style, layout, and detail make these homes stand out above the modern homes that look so similar in build. If you are a fan of historic homes or just love history, the 41st Annual Lafayette Square Spring House and Garden Tour is taking place on Saturday, June 5, and Sunday, June 6, from 10 am. to 5 p.m., each day. The appropriate theme is “City Life in Bloom” and includes one

square mile tucked into the heart of St. Louis. The city’s oldest historic district is a neighborhood filled with restaurants, shops, B&Bs, business and professional offices, one of the first parks west of the Mississippi, fountains, monumental statues and 1,300 places to call home: Victorian mansions, townhouses, row houses, warehouse style lofts and apartments and brand new construction. Lafayette Square, with its antique backdrop of historic places, is a new urban center with appeal for all ages and tastes. Garden and home decor will showcase the owners’ passion for indoor and outdoor entertaining enlivened with their own special touches throughout the collection of courtyards and conservatories and century old spaces which will be open to welcome visitors. Each room will tell the individual story of “City Life in Bloom in Lafayette Square.” Hundreds of Lafayette Square residents will be on hand to greet tour guests and celebrate the event as they stroll through the neighborhood on the self-guided tour. Visitors will also enjoy carriage rides around Lafayette Park, the oldest city park west of the Mississippi, browsing through antiques booths, cheering on players of Vintage Baseball, visiting Lafayette Square businesses and restaurants, and a Saturday evening concert in the park. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on tour weekend, and may be purchased by calling 314-7725724, using Visa or Mastercard; and at www.lafayettesquare.org through Paypal. Group sales of 20 or more are $12. Children under 12 accompanied by an adult are free. Reservations can also be mailed to LSRC Spring Tour, 2023 Lafayette, St. Louis, Mo., 63104, with a check made to LSRC Spring Tour. Ticket vouchers can also be purchased

at Lafayette Square businesses beginning May 15. The tour begins at the corner of Lafayette and Mississippi where visitors receive tour books and maps. All homes are within walking distance of one another, but free trolley rides will also be available. Lafayette Square is one mile south of downtown St. Louis and is bounded by Jefferson on the west, I-44 on the south, Truman Parkway on the east and Chouteau on the north. Easy access to the neighborhood from I-44 at the Truman Parkway exit, I-44 at the Jefferson exit and I-64, also at the Jefferson exit. All proceeds from the tour benefit the Lafayette Square Restoration Committee’s efforts to restore the buildings and public spaces of Lafayette Square, St. Louis’ first historic district, where old lives in harmony with new. For more information about the event, visit www.lafayettesquare. org.

Bullying could be a red flag NEW YORK (AP) — The word “bully” may conjure up images of a 9-year-old punk shaking down a 7-year-old for lunch money. But teenagers experience bullying too, and research shows it can be a red flag for depression and suicidal behavior. That’s true whether teens are doing the bullying, or are victims of it. “If you are vulnerable and being bullied, it can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back,” said Madelyn S. Gold, a professor of psychiatry and public health at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute who has studied bullying. That doesn’t mean bullying causes suicide. But it is an associated factor. Six teenagers were charged recently in South Haley, Mass., in connection with the case of Phoebe Prince, who killed herself after she complained of being tormented by kids in her high school. In another case, a teenager named

Alexis Pilkington killed herself in March in West Islip, N.Y., and nasty comments about her were posted online even after her death. But Alexis’ father told a local paper, Newsday, that the harassment “was not the major or even a minor factor” in the suicide. Ann Haas, director of suicide prevention projects at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, cautioned against thinking in terms of “cause and effect” when it comes to bullying and suicide. “The key risk factor for suicide in youth is unrecognized, untreated mental disorders, particularly depression,” Haas said. But a study of 2,342 high school students published in 2007 in the Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry showed “a clear association” between bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, according to Gould, who was one of the authors. Among students who said

they were frequently bullied in school, nearly 30 percent reported depression, and 11 percent reported serious thoughts of suicide and suicide attempts. Among those who frequently bullied others in school, almost 19 percent reported experiencing depression and about 8 percent reported suicidal thoughts or attempts. In contrast, among kids who said they were never bullied, only 7 percent reported depression, and 3 percent reported suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts. Overall, the study found about 9

percent of high school students said they were frequently bullied, and 13 percent said they frequently bullied others. These rates were consistent with other studies, the researchers said. Teens are often secretive about their social lives, but bullying is “something we need to ask our kids about,” Gould said. Remind them that insulting or humiliating someone on Facebook, by text or e-mail can be just as devastating as physical confrontations or pranks. “In the 21st century electronic age, you can be one step removed from

what you’re doing,” Alec L. Miller, an adolescent psychologist at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore/ Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. “You’re not actually saying something to someone’s face. You’re just writing an e-mail. That makes it a lot easier to bully and harass. We’ve had bullying for centuries, but this is a new phenomenon.” In addition, Miller believes that trash-talk on TV — from the critiques on “American Idol” to inyour-face insults on reality shows — has desensitized us to the harm words can inflict.

The Orchestrion Tour Pat Metheny to visit the Touhill

Wo r l d re n o w n e d g u i t a r i s t / composer Pat Metheny will bring his Orchestrion Tour to St. Louis May 8. The performance at the Touhill Performing Arts Center is on Saturday, May 8, at 8 p.m. in the Anheuser-Busch Performance Hall.  Metheny, whom The New York Times calls “easily one of the most enterprising jazz musicians of his generation,” recently returned f ro m h i s c r i t i c a l l y a c c l a i m e d European tour for an early April kick-off of his six-week, 37-city North American tour.  These tours are in support of his “Orchestrion” album, which came out in January on Nonesuch Records and has received critical praise from The New York Times, Associated Press, Village Voice and Billboard, among many other publications.  “Orchestrion” brings a musical i d e a f ro m t h e l a t e 1 9 t h a n d early 20th Centuries – a large mechanical multi-instrument device that utilizes actual orchestral instruments of various types, called an “orchestrion” – to the technologies of today.  Metheny’s concept includes a l a rg e e n s e m b l e o f a c o u s t i c instruments—including several pianos, drum kit, marimbas, “guitar-bots,” dozens of percussion instruments and even cabinets of carefully tuned bottles.   T h ro u g h M e t h e n y ’ s g u i t a r and compositional mind, five

AquaPalooza

Rocking on the water By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge AquaPalooza is a huge event that began in 2006 and continues annually at many lakes across the country. It is a giant party in the water, with a concert on shore. People pull up in their boats of all sizes shapes and types and there is a large area blocked off for people to float around in right in front of the stage. It is an amazing sight. Sea Ray Boats is the main sponsor and creator of the events. They bring in many big name acts to headline at these events. Sea Ray Boats announced that country music superstar Brad Paisley will headline the AquaPalooza 2010 Signature Event, which is scheduled for Saturday, July 10, at The Reserve at Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. The event, hosted by Sea Ray and its local dealer Sail and Ski Center, will have Paisley performing in front of a crowd of thousands of concert-goers in the water. “AquaPalooza has become synonymous with great music and great times on the water,” said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing for Sea Ray. “We’re very excited to have a performer of Brad Paisley’s caliber

April 29, 2010

headlining this year’s Signature Event. This is a free event where your boat is your ticket; there will be no land access to the Signature Event.” Lake Travis is located in the beautiful Texas hill country, a short drive from both Austin and San Antonio. “We’re proud to have been chosen to host the Signature Event. It’s a great opportunity to show the world what Lake Travis has to offer,” said Buzz Watkins, coowner of Sail and Ski, which has locations in Austin, Lakeway and San Antonio, and was recently ranked the No. 1 dealer in North America by Boating Industry magazine. For those who can’t make it to Lake Travis, Sea Ray dealerships around the world will transform more than 100 additional locations into official AquaPalooza event sites, making it easy for boaters to get to and enjoy the family fun. Most of the events will take place during the last two weekends in July. “Our dealers do an outstanding job of coordinating the AquaPalooza events in their areas,” said Noyes. In 2009, the fourth annual AquaPalooza attracted approximately 15,000 boats and 84,000 guests to 123 events from New York to California, and from Austria to Australia.

Since its inception in 2006, the multi-location celebration has grown bigger each year. “It won’t be easy to top the 2009 Signature Event, but we think the Lake Travis community, Brad Paisley, Sail and Ski and Sea Ray are up to the task,” said Noyes. “As always, the event will be open to all boaters, not just Sea Ray owners. AquaPalooza is about sun and fun, great music, and togetherness on the water with family and friends.” Mark your calendars now for the most anticipated on-water boating bash of the summer. For more information, please visit www.aquapalooza.com. Visit www.reserveatlaketravis.com for more info on Lake Travis. If you are looking for an AquaPalooza that is closer to home, head to the Lake of the Ozarks on Saturday, July 17, from noon to 5 p.m., in front of Dog Days Bar and Grill at Lake Ozark, Mo. The contact person for the Lake of the Ozarks event is Teresa Riley, 573365-5382, or email: teresa.riley@marinemax. com. Dog Days Bar and Grill is located at the 19 mile marker, just west of the Grand Glaize Bridge, in front of Dog Days Bar and Grill. MarineMax, the sponsor for the Lake of

the Ozarks even, invites all boaters to join them for an afternoon filled with boating, family, friends, great tunes, prizes, and much more including a free concert with America’s number one party band. Rocking the lake all afternoon, everyone will start getting funky with “Blue Orleans” which offers a mixture of Zydeco, Bourbon Street Rock ‘n’ Roll, Blues, Reggae and Caribbean. The fun will keep going with a high energy performance by the unique and charismatic, one of a kind rockin’ country duo, “LoCash Cowboys.” And, for the grand finale, “Otis Day and The Knights” will pump up the party with your all time favorite dance tunes including their classic hits “Shout” and “Shama Lama Ding Dong” from the movie “Animal House.” Register online to receive AquaPalooza updates and get information on the “Friday Night Kick Off Party,” rental slips at Dog Days on Saturday, radio broadcast, tshirt giveaways, sponsor promotions, AquaPalooza Collector ’s Wine, “Do the Dew,” Get Caught with Pepsi” and many more fun events.

Travel briefs June opening for West Virginia resort’s full-scale casino C H A R L E S TO N , W. Va . ( A P ) — The picture postcard view of The Greenbrier resort’s white hotel facade offset with tulips in spring splendor is gone, replaced by cranes, dust and construction workers in a dash to finish an underground casino beneath what used to be the front lawn. “It’s basically crunch time,” said Todd Fishon, the resort’s vice president of casino operations. A harsh winter has pushed back the opening of the 89,000-squarefoot Casino Club to June and the exact date will be determined soon, he said. The casino is being built underground so it won’t take away from the ambiance and scenery of the 6,500-acre resort, which has entertained kings and presidents and once housed a secret bomb shelter intended for Congress. A tiny portion of the casino opened in October. For the bigger version, an area in front of the hotel’s entrance was excavated. Resort officials aimed for an April 15 debut, but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. “Nobody expected to have one of the worst winters in West Virginia in recent history,” Fishon said. “At the time when the weather hit, we were still trying to enclose it. We

got behind. The extremely cold temperatures made it tough to pour cement. Every time it snowed, we had to dig ourselves out. Every snowstorm cost us a good week.” Gambling at The Greenbrier has been a hot topic ever since state lawmakers started tackling the issue in the mid-1990s. A 1999 state law allowed the resort to open a casino if Greenbrier County voters approved. Voters rejected such a move in 2000. In 2008, however, they passed the measure by a 51 percent to 49 percent vote. It was all The Greenbrier needed. Owner Jim Justice, who bought the resort in White Sulphur Springs out of bankruptcy in May 2009 for $20.1 million, has said a tasteful casino will help restore profitability and the coveted five-star Mobil Travel Guide rating The Greenbrier lost in 2000. During the first five months of limited operation, the casino’s revenues totaled $1.2 million. In February they were $299,713, up 2.3 percent from January, according to the West Virginia Lottery. The full-scale casino will have 320 slot machines and 38 table games such as poker and blackjack. It will be open to hotel guests, resort club members and, if more than 400 rooms are booked, convention or event guests who are staying somewhere else. The overall venue’s flooring is complete, its ceiling is nearly done and millwork is being installed. An entryway is being built that attaches the casino to adjoining restaurants

and shops. “That is the last piece of the puzzle,” Fishon said. Initial plans called for an Italian restaurant inside the casino but that’s been changed to Asian fusion fare and there also will be a high-end coffee and pastry outlet. Upstairs is Prime 44 West, the steakhouse that’s essentially a shrine to NBA legend Jerry West. Landscaping on the redesigned lawn and entrance area is under way and the project will be completed just weeks before the PGA Tour ’s

inaugural Greenbrier Classic begins at the resort on July 29. “Getting up and running before the golf tournament is a must,” Fishon said.

Stratosphere jump opens to daredevils in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — Visitors to the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas no longer need an elevator

SkyJump Las Vegas has opened as the world’s highest commercial decelerator descent. A cable line guides jumpers down from a metal platform, with views of the Las Vegas Strip along the way. The ride was certified by Guinness World Records as the highest of its kind.

Dining Delights

Grace Manor Great tastes in a great atmosphere By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge The historic Klingel House, the pre-Civil War residence, is now home to Grace Manor, a restaurant that offers a fantastic experience for the diner’s palate. Their forte’, “Celebrating the Flavors of the Season,” explains why their menu changes every season, always offering a new flavor, never giving patrons a chance to grow bored with the selection. Debra Geggus is the owner and a chef at Grace Manor. She is well studied, including the French Culinary Institute in New York. She has a passion for food and a passion for people and wants to bring both of them together in the ambiance of the beautiful historical setting. The building was acquired a little over a year ago by entrepreneur Art Risavy. Risavy is well-known in the community for being the owner of Swing City, with locations in Collinsville and Edwardsville, Florian’s Fine Jewelry in Collinsville, Cafaye Imports Ltd. in Collinsville, and a number of other business interests. He loved the building, but really didn’t think it was something he was interested in purchasing at first. But after touring the structure, he found that the walls were all brick, built three layers thick and the building was still in great condition. He knew he had to purchase it and then partnered with Debra to reopen the restaurant, which has been

known for a number of years as a “tea room.” Debra kept the tea room setting for a couple of months, allowing time for the “regular” customers to become accustomed to the idea that she had a new focus for the building that included a different menu. Although there were some that were disappointed in the loss of the tea room setting, Debra knew that the time had come for a change. Now open several months, Debra has changed the menu with the seasons and is finding that the community is enjoying the new selections and is especially appreciative that she uses items f ro m t h i s a re a t o c re a t e h e r delicacies. Whenever possible, she purchases from Illinois and Missouri farmers, growers, wineries, breweries, bakers, etc. For the most part, her beef comes from the Rensing Farms in New Douglas. The herbs and edible flowers from Awesome Herbs, which also has its items available at the Goshen Market. Other purchases include: mushrooms from Ozark Mountain Mushrooms, bread from Fazzio’s in St. Louis and pasta from Mangia’s Italiano in St. Louis. She gets her wines from Pheasant Hollow Winery in Whittington, A l t o Vi n e y a r d s Wi n e r y i n

Champaign, St. James Winery in St. James, Mo., and Mount Pleasant Winery in Augusta, Mo. Her beer menu is made up of Schlafly and O’Fallon beers and she carries Fitz’s sodas. Grace Manor serves a full lunch menu and a twilight menu, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and a brunch menu on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Just a sampling of the spring lunch menu: “Green Goddess Chicken Sandwich” – white diced chicken, roasted red peppers, celery and Kalamatta olives tossed in an anchovy-based herb dressing on a brioche bun. “The Golden Egg” – sweet mustard and egg salad sandwich with golden raisins, almonds and lettuce on wheat cranberry bread. “Mango Pork Sandwich” – pork cooked in poblano and jalepeno peppers and tomatoes, topped with mangocilantro slaw on a brioche bun. Just a sampling from the twilight menu: “Pasta of the Day,” “Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Dip,” black eyed peas, dressed in a cilantro lime vinaigrette, garnished with carrots, celery, red onions and poblano peppers. Served with pita bread. There is so much more to enjoy, just not enough space to share it all. There is also a complete wine list and beer list available at your

request. Grace Manor is also testing the waters of hosting specialty dinners. Recently they hosted a “St. James Master Wine-Maker Dinner” serving a number of their wonderful creations paired with some fabulous St. James wines. The rooms were filled with laughter and chatter as all were served some wonderful Asian inspired dishes, and as Andrew Meggitt, Executive Winemaker and native of New Zealand, shared the wine varieties, their origination and history. A fantastic evening was shared by all and certainly a treat for the senses with both the food selections and wine offerings. Grace Manor plans to offer more specialty dinners and is currently planning a Schlafly Brew dinner in the near future. More information will be available soon with the details. Grace Manor is located in the Klingel House, located at 1801 North Main St. in Edwardsville. The phone number is 655-0650. Reservations are not required and dress is casual. Make sure to stop in at Grace Manor and try some of the spring menu selections before they are just a memory. Then of course, the summer menu is sure to be just as

At top, from left, are: Ian C. Warford, a Koerner Distrisbutor; Andrew Meggitt, Executive Winemaker of St. James Winery; Debra Geggus, Chef/Owner of Grace Manor Restaurant and Lisa Skaggs, General Manager/Chef of Grace Manor Restaurant, who all participated in hosting the St. James Wine Dinner.

Cinco de Mayo Get creative in your kitchen By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge In some of the previous editions, we have been attempting to introduce, or reintroduce a few new produce specialties that maybe readers have never tried, much less heard of. Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) is the perfect occasion to get creative in the kitchen with fresh Latin ingredients, including some of those just recently introduced-like Jicama, from Frieda’s Specialty Produce. This Mexican holiday gets its name from the victory at the historic Battle of Puebla, but Cinco de Mayo is primarily celebrated in the United States as an ideal time for honoring Mexican culture and enjoying delicious traditional foods. Not to mention some great Margaritas! Ole’! Two great Mexican vegetables to consider on your menu this year are fresh Jicama and Tomatillos. Jicama, aka Mexican potato, has a light, juicy-crunchy texture and can be peeled, sliced and enjoyed raw or steamed or sautéed in a variety of dishes. Tomatillos, those little green tomatoes that look like they have a paper shell around them, are a staple in Mexican cuisine and the key ingredient in Salsa Verde. Roasted or boiled, then pureed, Tomatillos have a mild, tart-lemony-grassy taste

that adds a bright note to salsas, enchiladas and other Latin-inspired dishes (tomatillos are not spicy like chile peppers). Frieda’s also offers many other Latin specialties, including a wide selection of fresh and dried chile peppers, fresh salsa and guacamole, fresh cactus pads (nopales), chayote squash, papayas, red cactus pears, fresh tamarind, yuca root, piloncillo, vegetarian Soyrizo and more. Spice up your Cinco de Mayo fiesta with some unique homemade salsa recipes from Frieda’s: Jicama, Corn and Pineapple Salsa Habanero chile is the secret to this spunky combination. Serve alongside fresh tortilla chips for

dipping, or spoon over any steamed or cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, grilled meats, poultry or fish. 1 1/2 cups finely chopped Frieda’s Jicama 1 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple (and/or chopped mango!) 1 cup niblet corn 1/2 cup diced green or red bell pepper 1/4 fresh Habanero chile, finely

chopped (use caution; wear gloves) 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced Combine the jicama, pineapple, corn, bell pepper, Habanero chile, cilantro and garlic in a blender or food processor container. Process in 2 batches, using a few stop-and-start motions, for a relish-like consistency. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Makes 3 1/2 cups. Source: Frieda’s Inc. Tomatillo Salsa The fresh taste of this green salsa is perfect for fried fish and seafood. Also works well with chicken, steaks, and cheese quesadillas. 12 Frieda’s Tomatillos, husked 1 Frieda’s Jalapeño chile, sliced 1 medium onion, chopped 2 tablespoons rice wine or cider vinegar Salt and pepper Wash Tomatillos and quarter. Place in food processor or blender along with Jalapeño chile; cover and process till pureed. Add onions and vinegar; process till smooth. Place mixture in saucepan; bring to

boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, 5 minutes. Cool; season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes 1 1/2 cups salsa. Source: Frieda’s, Inc. About Frieda’s Inc.

Maybe it is the price (very cheap), maybe it is “shouting out” your order, maybe it is just the ambiance of the noisy, a bit chaotic atmosphere that draws people to Best Steak House, but some of those reasons are exactly why I wouldn’t return. Not to mention the poor quality of “steak” they serve. Many people love it, so try it for yourself. Right across from the Fox Theatre.

Tomatoes, peppers are fading from menus NEW YORK (AP) – The high price of tomatoes and peppers has Mark Paradis teaching his culinary students a new lesson — substitutions. “I haven’t even contemplated buying one,” Paradis, purchasing coordinator for Southern New Hampshire University’s culinary school, said of vine-ripened tomatoes. His supplier ’s price for the produce recently doubled to $50 for a 25-pound case. He also is trying to wean his chefs off fresh bell peppers, switching to canned and roasted ones instead. “You’re not going to see a fresh pepper as a garnish,” he says. “If you’re doing a salsa, you’re going to have to do a roasted one, which means you’re not going to have that crunch.” A cold snap wiped out much of Florida’s tomato crop at the beginning of the year, causing wholesale prices nationwide to spike. Meanwhile, prices on peppers have more than doubled, sometimes to as much as $3 per pepper, according to federal data. For people like Paradis, it has meant reducing his tomato order from four cases a week to one, and switching varieties. These days, he’s buying plum tomatoes, an ovalshaped variety with a hardier skin and longer shelf life. But how about at home, where fresh pasta sauce suddenly feels like an extravagance? Supermarket tomatoes can now cost as much as $2.99 a pound, a 26 percent increase over last year. Red peppers can run as much as $3.49 per pound. To satisfy your craving for salsa or for crunch and color in your salads, chefs and cooking pros offer one word: substitution. Last summer, when tomato blight hit the East Coast, sustainability advocate and cookbook author Terry Walters made her salsa from tomatillos, a tomato-like husked fruit related to the gooseberry and frequently used in Mexican cuisine. “Tomatillos are a great substitute,” she says. “They’re firm on the outside, they’re a little crispy. They’re great with the same flavors — olive oil, cilantro, fresh basil.” As for soups and classic pasta sauces, head to the center aisles of the grocer. Canned tomatoes can sometimes be better than fresh, especially before the hot summer brings tomatoes into their full glory. “I would rather use good canned tomatoes out of season than a crummy hot house one,” says cookbook author Mollie Katzen. “And what makes a pasta saucy doesn’t need to be tomato. It can be olive oil and garlic.” Fresh tomatoes also can be stretched in, Katzen says, by using just one or two to coat a chunky mixture of cauliflower, onions, zucchini and other vegetables. For salads, Katzen says, move away from the tomato-pepper-onion model and focus on fruit-nut-cheese salads, such as baby spinach with strawberries, walnuts and crumbled feta cheese. But more than anything, these

and other professionals say, the current shortage of tomatoes and peppers offers an opportunity to eat seasonally and locally, and to expand your vegetable repertoire. “Spring is here!” says Andrew Swallow, co-founder of Mixt Greens salad boutiques, and author of the upcoming “Mixt Salads” cookbook. “Some of the best things in the world to put in salad are sugar snap peas, English peas, fennel, green garlic, spring onions. You have so many wonderful things in season that are being grown right now, you really

shouldn’t have to eat tomatoes. It’s the same thing with peppers.” The local farmers market is the place to start. Perusing the stalls can open a world of new, tasty choices, s u c h a s c ru n c h y w a t e r m e l o n radishes, baby yellow beets and cipollini onions, the sorts of produce that escape the notice of most supermarkets. ••• With tomatoes in short supply and prices high, a simple bowl of fresh salsa can start to feel a bit like a luxury item. So maybe it’s time to

ditch the tomatoes and try another of summer ’s stars as the main ingredient. This recipe for grilled corn and red onion salsa uses inexpensive frozen corn kernels, grilling them on a cedar plank to add plenty of flavor. When available, corn on the cob is even better. Simply rub each ear with oil and grill over medium until lightly browned. Slice off the kernels using a serrated knife, then proceed with the recipe. Cedar planks for grilling are

widely available at most grocers, usually near the meat or seafood departments. You also can use cedar shingles from the hardware store, but be certain they have not been treated or stained with anything. All planks should be soaked in water for about 30 minutes before grilling.

of oil over the slices of red onion. Place the onion on the other side of the grill (the side still set to medium). Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the corn and onion from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder and red wine vinegar. Add the scallion and cilantro, then mix. When the corn and onion have cooled, chop the onion, then add both to the bowl. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate until cool. ••• If the price of peppers has you thinking twice about serving them stuffed, he’s an alternative that uses mushrooms, instead. The filling — made with meat, rice and goat cheese — will remind you of a stuffed pepper, but is instead served on overturned portabella mushrooms. We chose to grill ours over low heat, but they also could be prepared in the oven at 325 F.

In a medium bowl, combine the rice, goat cheese, parsley, sausage meat, salt and pepper. Mix well. One at a time, use a bit of the olive oil to rub the tops of the mushrooms. Overturn each mushroom cap (gills facing up) and loosely pack about an eighth of the sausage mixture in it. Arrange the mushrooms on the grill, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender and show deep grill marks, and the sausage filling is cooked through, about another 8 to 10 minutes.
