People Towboat festival to highlight river workhorses in Grafton

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

T

ake a drive along the Great River Road from Alton to Grafton and you will likely see a towboat or two steadily pushing a string of barges up and down the river. It is a familiar sight for anyone who grew up near the river, but for many landlubbers the details of what life on the water is like is still a mystery.

Visitors to Grafton will get an up close look at this workhorse of the mighty Mississippi River at the Shiver Me Timbers Towboat Festival July 27 and 28 on the riverfront.

The festival celebrates the humble towboat, a vessel that has been a powerful force on the river for more than a century. This area owes much of its growth and industry to the many towboats chugging their way up and down the Mississipi transporting dozens of barges loaded with goods.

Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a little music, eat some seriously good barbecue and have a whole lot of fun touring working towboats and experiencing life on the Mississippi River.

“It’s an event that Grafton is

known for. People seem to like it,” said Joe DeSherlia, owner of Grafton Harbor. He said organizers decided to postpone the festival until July due to recent flooding.

However, many businesses are back open and ready to welcome visitors to this fun family event.

Visitors can tour the impressive towboats for free from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day of the festival, weather permitting. The “Twyla Luhr,” a working towboat provided by the Luhr Brothers of Columbia, will be available for tours.

This is a rare opportunity to find out how these small boats navigate the sometimes treacherous river channels. It is also a chance to catch

a glimpse of what day-to-day life is like for the crew working and living on the towboat.

“They’ll see everything. The engine room, galley, where [the crew] sleep, how they live – all aspects of living on the river,” said Mike Luhr, president of Luhr Brothers.

In addition to the towboat on show, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Commander 3-13 will have a jet boat on hand to view. And the U.S. Corps of Engineers will have a hands-on exhibit available for visitors to find out more about Mighty Mississippi River. More in depth information about the

towboats and the river will be available at booths provided by area environmentalists and historians.

Visitors should practice their best “argh” sounds before boarding the “Gypsy Rose,” a full-scale pirate ship offering river cruises throughout the festival. Tickets cost $10 and departures take place at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

There will also be special promotions and events provided by local businesses over the weekend including wine and lodging specials.

As of press time, participating businesses include: Captain Andy’s

Parasail, Jersey State Bank, Grafton Harbor, Big Kahuna Bar and Grill, Books ‘n’ Barber Coffee House, Mississippi Half Step, Fin Inn Restaurant, Pixie Stix, Buena Vista Jewelry, The Whole Scoop, Grafton Winery & Brewhaus, Lucy Maes Guest House, Jeni J’s Gifts & Guest House and the Ruebel Hotel.

The annual Shiver Me Timbers Towboat Festival is free and open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28 at Grafton’s riverfront. For more information on this event, call the Alton Regional Convention and Visitors’ Bureau at 786-7678 or 1-800-ALTON-IL or go to www.VisitAlton.com or visit www.EnjoyGrafton.com.

People People planner Run with the Rev event planned Radio personality and avid runner Rev. Gregory Seltz has issued a challenge for runners and walkers in the St. Louis area to join his team and participate in the MO’Cowbell Half Marathon this fall.

“Come Run with the Rev.!” he says.

Seltz is Speaker of The Lutheran Hour, the world’s longest-running Christian outreach radio broadcast and flagship program of St. Louisbased Lutheran Hour Ministries.

The Lutheran Hour airs on more than 1,350 stations and reaches a nationwide audience of nearly 800,000 each week. Seltz began serving in the Speaker role in 2011.

“Run with the Rev. is about developing ‘muscular Christians’ for the 21st century,” Seltz says.

“The resources we provide online, including devotions, training videos and personal testimonies, will offer inspiration that propels you to achieve your fitness goals and increase your mental toughness, while also strengthening your faith and deepening your personal relationship with God.” Preparation for the race will involve a 12-week training program geared to help each participant be physically, emotionally and spiritually ready at the starting line.

“A good overall approach to your physical and mental training is just as important as having a specific running plan, and it can help you be at your best on race day,” says Seltz.

The MO’Cowbell Half Marathon will be held Sunday, Oct.6 at Frontier Park in St. Charles, Mo. Registration is $90 before Aug. 31 and $100 after Sept. 1; the deadline to register is

Oct. 1. Included in the cost along with the 12-week training program are a Run with the Rev. tee shirt, prerace pasta dinner, finisher's medal, clip-on running light and a post-race recovery/meeting station.

To register now, visit www.lhm. org/run.

MoBOT plans summer floral display Step into a fascinating desert e n v i ro n m e n t a t t h e M i s s o u r i Botanical Garden this summer, from June 29 through August 4, and enjoy the newly introduced Desert Show: Plants and People of the Western U.S. Deserts. The display emphasizes the important role desert plants play in our lives, highlighting the North American deserts. Visitors will get a chance to see cacti varieties and learn about the use of plants by Native Americans for textiles and food.

Show admission is $5 in addition to Garden admission and is free for Garden members. Sponsorship provided by the Henry Shaw Cactus and Succulent Society.

The show provides visitors with a unique opportunity to become familiar with the plant diversity from the world’s arid regions and provides a venue to exhibit and

interpret important plant collections currently not on public display.

Arid and semi-arid regions account for a third of the earth’s surface and contain some of the world’s most important hotspots of plant diversity. The plants that thrive in these regions show an array of fascinating adaptations to the harsh environments in which they grow.

Plants of the arid regions exist at the extreme limits of tolerance o f e n v i ro n m e n t a l c o n d i t i o n s ; therefore the slightest change to the environment can result in the loss of plant diversity, making them one of the most at-risk ecosystems.

The William L. Brown Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden plays an important role in the new Desert Show by presenting how plants provide humans with basic resources such as food, medicine, fiber and other useful products, historically and today. Their mission, “To study,

characterize and conserve useful plants and associated traditional knowledge for a sustainable future,” demonstrates ethnobotany through plants and cultural artifacts on display throughout the show.

“Plants provide essential nourishment and resources in the desert cultures of the western United States,” explains Karen Walker, ethnobotanist for the Garden’s William L. Brown Center.

“This show gives us a platform to explain to Garden visitors just how important collaborations with these cultures are; the Native American people in the Western United States use hundreds of different plant species for food, medicine, fiber, dye and other purposes. This shared knowledge allows us to conduct meaningful ethnobotanical, conservation, and ecological research projects.

Several assorted genera of cacti

Multiple Option

will be on display including Yucca, Agave, Opuntia and Mammallaria and specimens of the Garden’s private collection, not usually seen by the public, will also be featured.

Two hogan replicas are placed amidst the collection of cacti and

cultural artifacts lending a strong sense of the U.S. Western Deserts.

Collections of traditional and colorful Kachina dolls are included in the show.

The Arts CAM to unveil new exhibit for 10th anniversary

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge Ten years ago the St. Louis arts scene changed dramatically with the opening of a massive new space to house the Contemporary Art Museum, the area’s premier museum dedicated to supporting and celebrating contemporary art.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, CAM will host the exhibition “Place is the Space” running Sept. 6 through Dec. 29. This special exhibition marks the start of a year-long celebration featuring special programming and exhibitions honoring the museum.

Designed by architect Brad Cloepfil, the new two-story building opened its doors in September 2003 and welcomed the public into more than 27,000-square-feet of open, airy space that highlighted the artwork contained within. It was a major accomplishment for the institution, which began in 1980 as the First Street Forum.

Cloepfil’s design perfectly complemented the artwork with its open, flexible spaces that allow for variation and emphasis on the artwork while highlighting transparency and natural light. The project was Cloepfil’s first museum and set the bar high for the rest of his career. He went on to design the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor, Mich., and the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colo., among other projects.

It is fitting that Cloepfil, founding principal of Allied Works Architecture, will return to the start of his career to co-curate “Place is the Space” alongside Dominic Molon, CAM’s chief curator. The exhibition features five works by six major contemporary artists.

Each of the five works was specifically commissioned to highlight different aspects of the structure: surface, scale, transparency and boundaries.

A description of the exhibition from CAM states: “While demonstrating the building’s unique ability [to] shape the presentation and experience of contemporary art, the exhibition also examines the larger idea of how various artists address museum spaces as a key element in the development of their work.”

The first piece is by the artistic collective Arocha-Schraenen. Together, Venezuelan Carla Arocha and Belgian Stephane Schraenen are known for their installation-based and sculptural work that explores the relationship between material, space and perception. For the CAM exhibition, they have created an installation of an overlapping abstract graphic pattern on the windows of the museum’s café and performance space.

Belleville native Jill Downen, who now divides her time between Kansas City and St. Louis, incorporates surfaces, flaws and other elements of a space to create organic forms in her work. For this exhibition, she has created a piece titled “Beauty Mark,” which will feature the seaming of a long fissure in the museum’s concrete floor with gold leaf. She has also reconstructed a wall sculpture that she created at CAM nearly a decade ago.

Chicago artist Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle creates sculptures and video installations that often use natural forms such as clouds, icebergs, and DNA. Manglano-Ovalle will present a new sculpture comprising a massive cube constructed of charred cedar planks and a grid of white maple beehive structures to address issues of scale, proportion, and surface within the building.

Virginia Overton is a Nashville native who currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She is known for her graceful sculptures that use raw materials such as drywall, mud, and wood beams. For “Place is the Space,” Overton will create an elegant arrangement of long metal pipes across architectural voids between the museum’s main galleries

The Arts The art of Sam Preston Wood River resident awarded the Gretchen Brigham Memorial Prize at St. Louis show

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

S

am Preston was tying his shoes and about to walk out the door to go to work when he felt his left arm go limp. He just had time to mumble “9-1-1” to his wife before he lost the ability to speak.

That’s when he knew he was having a stroke.

“It felt like from my left shoulder all the way down my left arm just dropped and laid limp. It was so limp it didn’t even look like my arm because even when your arm goes to sleep you still have muscle tone. But the muscles were just drooping and I couldn’t talk.”

Preston, who lives in Wood River with his wife, Karie, and the couple’s 5-year-old daughter, Elisabeth, was just 31 at the time.

He suffered the stroke as a result of taking a medication prescribed for stomach problems. The medication was withdrawn from the market later that year due to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

But that didn’t help Preston, who endured a year of tests, blood thinners and endless consultations with doctors following the incident.

In the end, they concluded that

Preston’s stroke was an isolated episode resulting from the stomach medication.

Six years on, Preston has completely recovered physically from the stroke. But the mental and emotional wound it caused him and his wife took much longer to heal.

He finally faced that pain in the best way he knew how – by painting. “The First Days of Spring,” the title is a reference to a Salvador Dali painting of the same name, is a self-portrait of sorts that depicts all of the inner pain and emotional turmoil Preston experienced, except he isn’t actually in it. Instead, the figure of a woman, the sister-in-law of a coworker, is depicted with a terrible bloody nose streaming down her face. Behind her is the drab gray and white background of a broken down shed. The contrast between the pale, almost watery background and the vibrant red blood is startlingly beautiful.

Paula Katz, juror for the St. Louis Artists’ Guild’s juried summer exhibition, thought so too. That’s why she awarded Preston the Gretchen Brigham Memorial Prize at the exhibition, titled “It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity.”

The all-media, all-styles, allcontent show features artists from across the country. Katz is the

The exhibition will be on view in the Guild’s galleries, located at Two Oak Knoll Park in Clayton, Mo., through Aug. 4.

Preston said he was both “thrilled” and “honored” to receive the award.

“It’s pretty exciting. I’m so nervous every show I go to,” he said. “I’m absolutely thrilled.”

The award is further proof of

July 18, 2013

Preston’s talent and growing confidence as an artist. Originally from Jacksonville, Preston exhibited an interest in art from early age.

As a boy he drew comic books and later studied art at Illinois College in Jacksonville. But his dreams of continuing his artistic education were cut short when his mother passed away from cancer shortly after he graduated. Instead of continuing on to graduate school that fall, he went home to be with his dad and got a full-time job.

Within a few years the everyday demands of marriage, bills and a full-time job put an indefinite hold on his graduate school plans. It would be 10 years before he finally picked up his brushes and began painting again.

By 2007, the time seemed right to get back to his art. Preston draws with both charcoal and conté, but it is oil painting that gives him the greatest joy.

“They have a luminescence that you can’t get from anything else.

There’s that translucent jewellike quality that oil can have that nothing else has where it’s slightly transparent and slightly opaque. It can be more like a piece of stained glass than a painting. I just think that when the light hits oil just right it’s beautiful. There’s nothing else like it.”

He was about to take part in his first juried art show at Jacoby Arts Center when the stroke happened and, once again, everything had to be put on hold. The show opened, he said, the day he got out of the hospital.

Despite these bumps in the road, Preston never gave up on his dream of becoming an artist.

Last year he received his M.A. in painting from Fontbonne University in St. Louis and will receive his M.F.A. in painting from the same institution later in December. Preston’s ultimate goal is to one day teach art at the college level.

He is currently on the board of directors at Jacoby Arts Center and a member of the Edwardsville Arts Center and St. Louis Artists’ Guild. He has exhibited at those and other arts organizations throughout the Midwest.

For Preston, art is all about relationships and finding beauty in the environment around him.

This could be something as simple as the woodwork in his home, the curve of his daughter’s smile or the figure of his wife sitting on their stairs.

“That’s all we have in life is our relationships,” he said. “I’m really just trying to deal with my everyday life and shed some new light on it.”

et ready to paint the town pink when Stages St. Louis brings “Legally Blonde, The Musical” to the Robert G. Reim Theatre July 19 through Aug. 18.

Elle Woods’ life is perfect. She is beautiful, popular, the president of her sorority and dating the handsome future lawyer Warner Huntington III. Everything is wonderful – until she gets dumped.

It seems being blonde and beautiful just isn’t “serious” enough for Warner ’s East Coast aspirations. For the first time in her life, being blonde isn’t more fun. That is,

until she decides she won’t take no for an answer and hatches a plan to follow Warner all the way to Harvard winning over critics in her own glamorous way.

Like a glass of pink champagne, “Legally Blonde, The Musical” is fizzing with witty humor, romance and lots of fun. This lighthearted show makes for a perfect date night or girls’ night out.

Michelle London will step into Elle Wood’s heels to make her Stages debut.

The Southern California native is perfectly cast as the bubbly blonde Elle right down to her 4-pound Chihuahua named Buddy.

London is a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles. She was the Glinda understudy in the Chicago company of “WICKED”

London’s television credits include HBO’s "Arli$$" and "Drake and Josh" on Nickelodeon.

St. Louis favorite Ben Nordstrom will return to Stages as Elle’s assistant professor and love interest Emmett Forrest. Nordstrom was last seen in Stages’ 2010 production of “Promises, Promises.” His other credits include “Title of Show,” “Next Fall,” “Big River,” “Footloose,” “Boeing, Boeing” and “Amadeus.”

David Schmittou returns to Stages for his 14th season to play the role of smarmy Professor Callahan. Schmittou most recently was seen in Stages’ 2012 production of “The Sound of Music.”

His other credits include “The 39 Steps,” “Complete Works of William Shakespeare,” “Sweet Charity,” “Doubt,” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.”

Broadway actress Heather Jane Rolff will play Paulette, Elle’s hilarious manicurist and new BFF. Rolff was last seen in the Stages 2007 production of “The Full Monty,” with additional credits including the Broadway production of “Shrek the Musical,” and the National Tour of the 25th Anniversary of “Les Miserables.”

premiered in San Francisco in 2007 and made its Broadway debut that year.

Following its West End debut, the show went on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Musical.

The Tony-nominated score features the hilarious "Omigod You Guys," the sassy "Bend and Snap" and the catchy "Legally Blonde."

“Legally Blonde” began as a novel written by Amanda Brown based on her experiences studying law. In 2001, MGM released the Golden Globe nominated film version starring Reese Witherspoon.

The film became a huge success, and spawned a sequel in 2003, “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde” once again starring Reese Witherspoon along with Sally Field.

Stages St. Louis Artistic Director Michael Hamilton will direct with musical direction by Lisa Campbell Albert and choreography by Rusty Mowery.

Completing the creative team are Scenic Designer James Wolk, Costume Designer Lou Bird, Lighting Designer Matthew McCarthy and Orchestral Designer Stuart M. Elmore.

“Legally Blonde, The Musical” runs July 19 through Aug. 18 at the Robert G. Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Civic Center, 111 S. Geyer Road.

Julia Biggs/The Edge

Local artist putting her best feet forward

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge Human feet. Not something that one might think of as a great subject for a piece of artwork, but Edwardsville resident and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville student Gwendolyn Porter thought differently and has created a series of beautiful artwork of feet that is currently being featured at the Edwardsville Art Center’s (EAC) Student Gallery through July 19.

As new exhibits in the main gallery of the EAC change, the exhibit in the Student Gallery also changes to feature an SIUE student artist during the summer months and Edwardsville District 7 schools’ artists during the school year.

Brigham Dimick, an EAC board member and also the SIUE Associate Professor and Area Head of Drawing for the SIUE Art and Design Department, selects the SIUE student artists to be featured each summer. He chose Porter, one of his students who is also a 2010 EHS graduate, for the current exhibit because he said Porter had made strides last year making a series of “self-directed artworks.” “This is about her developing an idea and working it hard, and there’s an individuation here that’s kind of a leap from doing assignments dictated by somebody else to one’s own research and development. That’s a big move,” Dimick explained.

Porter’s series of artwork focuses on the subject matter of feet that, as she notes in her artist statement, “is commonly considered unpalatable.” “The idea behind it was originally to show that artwork doesn’t have to be a figure or a landscape or flowers,” Porter said about choosing her subject. “I tried to do that by pushing the technique as far as I could to make it look as realistic as possible – from observation and consideration of the light as it falls on the feet.”

Porter used charcoal, an ink wash and acrylic paint on an unusual surface – used cardboard. “The connection between the cardboard and feet is that cardboard is something that is kind of undervalued like you wouldn’t put art on that surface, but it’s actual really important in everyday life to ship things places and get things places and feet are kind of the same way,” Porter said.

Dimick saw Porter’s development in her artwork in this exhibit as ideas that she’ll carry over into her graphic design degree pursuits. “For example this work deals with packaging and text and then also if you think of graphic design as principally about communication, her central concept here is to take something that is deemed as unimportant or trash and valorize it through the agency of her care and so the cardboard itself is cast off material – some of it is dinged up – but now it’s been made into something that is really quite beautiful,”

Dimick said. “As well as the subject of feet - feet are not something that are known as beautiful parts of the anatomy.

She has done a remarkable job with the sensitivity and the careful rending of light and form that makes us care about the feet.”

“Also, just on a formal basis, the way that she uses the color of the cardboard as an intrinsic part of her light and color, transforms the cardboard into a kind of a space as opposed to a flat object,” Dimick added. “That idea of the text that’s on there alternatively reads as found text and as intentional content so that we can read into that as kind of a human narrative as well.”

Dimick pointed out that he chose Porter for the exhibit not only because she had an exceptional semester but that he wanted her “to understand that her work would be received well beyond just getting a good grade” as well as a way to “bolster her confidence to continue to explore new ideas within her discipline because it leads to positive results.”

He also emphasized the importance of having the Student Gallery within the EAC. “I think that our culture maybe values things like sports more than the arts,” Dimick stated.

He elaborated pointing out that there are also very bright kids that excel in the field of arts that also need to be stimulated for them to develop fully, and that the EAC’s Student Gallery provides a platform for them to showcase their talent. “If there isn’t a forum for that, not only where they get a chance to learn but their work gets exhibited and activated into discussion, then we’re going to reach less of those kids,” Dimick said. “And often time visual art is a beginning toward working in a movie industry or other kinds of creative pursuits. There’s a different kind of nurturing and a different kind of rigor that is needed for those kids. If there are not these kinds of support structures in the arts, then we don’t fulfill their promise - we kind of drop the ball.”

Nicole Fry, an SIUE 2013 graduate with a degree in fine arts, knows first-hand the value of the EAC’s Student Gallery.

Dimick selected Fry as one of the SIUE students featured last summer.

Fry credited her show at the EAC as being the catalyst to an internship at the Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis as well as being hired at her current job at Jacoby Art Center in Alton and being accepted into her first national show at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles. “It helped me to get other shows,” Fry said appreciatively about being featured at the EAC. “I’ve been able to go to other galleries and say “Hey, I’ve staged my own solo show. I know what I’m doing.” I’ve gotten offers for group shows and an internship out of it, and it really parlayed me into more and more things.”

Fry also is currently participating in two area art shows – the

St. Louis Art Guild and a juried exhibit through the Jacoby Art Center- which she attributed her participation to having had the EAC Student Gallery show experience. “I know I wouldn’t have gotten into the Foundry or probably the Chris Taylor (Jacoby juried) show without having the experience of staging my own solo show, and not only that but having it in a good, legitimate gallery,” Fry added. “People can hop online and see my installation photos of my work at the (EAC Student) Gallery. They can see it’s a good space. There’s credibility to it, and I’m doing artwork full time now. The EAC Student Gallery was my first big show and my first experience really putting together an exhibit on my own. Having that experience is really wonderful. Just learning the practical tools, and then it was a real confidence booster for me. It was that moment of, 'Yes I can do this. Let’s do more.'”

Dimick pointed out that having the students’ artwork featured in a professional gallery signals to them that “art matters.” “And when they see it in dialog with professional artists, they know when they are making art, that it is also a viable career path,” Dimick said. “And that when you take the art that they make and you put it into this professional context, there is a new conversation which is from one with peers to one with adults and with people who are drawn to the work from a different perspective, and so there’s learning that takes place.”

EAC Gallery Manager Mary McKeehan felt that the Student Gallery was a wonderful part of the EAC. “The mission here is to inspire creativity in children and adults, and I really think that the Student Gallery plays a very big part in that,” she said. “ I know that the students who exhibit throughout District 7 are very proud of the work that they have in the gallery, and I think the fact that it’s in this professional gallery setting, it gives to them weight and importance. And I think that’s wonderful for kids who are interested in the arts and maybe have a talent for that. It’s also wonderful that they have a place to show others and share with others their work.”

“If people can’t see something, there’s no way that they’re going to appreciate it or learn its value. The Student Gallery is like a process. The more and more people who get exposed to it, it starts to tip the scales,” Dimick said.

The EAC is located at 6165 Center Grove Road on the campus of Edwardsville High School. The EAC is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed Sunday through Tuesday. SIUE student Jessica Hatfield will be featured July 26 to Aug. 30 in the Student Gallery and an EHS Alumni Show is slated for early September.

Faught creates exuberant largescale textile works that employ an array of techniques—including knitting, crocheting, weaving, painting, and sculpture—along with everyday materials such as sequins, posters, buttons, and X e ro x e d i m a g e s . T h i s f o r m a l pastiche echoes the variety of influences and movements that inform his practice, from selfhelp culture and twentiethcentury crafts to feminism and queerness. Invoking familiar items like granny squares and felted sweaters as well as cultural touchstones like the AIDS Memorial Quilt (1987), Faught’s work demonstrates the ability of textiles to be a source of both personal comfort and political agitation.

Artistic adventures Sculpture Gardens open at LCCC A fanciful menagerie of colorful blossoms on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College will present a new feature for garden visitors this summer.

The newly dedicated Monticello Sculpture Gardens on the college’s Godfrey campus will feature a “Menagerie in Bloom,” with a special selection of plantings in creature form scattered throughout the gardens.

“Wit h t h e g u i d a n c e o f o u r landscape architects Terra Design, we have chosen a variety of bedding plant favorites whose plant characteristics evoke the images of creatures in our animal kingdom, both real and imagined,” said Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman.

“The special plantings on display this summer are each signified with an interpretive panel, which feature an illustration of the creature for which the plant is named.”

The illustrations are original creations by Lewis and Clark Professor Emeritus Patrick Dailey.

Black dragons, rosy cheeked angels and a flock of lamb are planted near the Bosque, just outside

of the Hatheway Cultural Center.

Yellow dragons and blackbirds have made a home in the terrace area outside of Hatheway, and ostriches and blue mice are growing in the planters on the upper level of Hatheway’s covered patio. Some of the wildest animals are located in The Grove in front of the McPike Math and Science Complex, where tigers, alligators, zebras, stingrays, f l a m i n g o s a n d e l e p h a n t s a re ready to welcome summer. Foxes, butterflies and snakes are also scattered throughout the gardens across campus.

Each interpretive panel includes a QR code for visitors with smart phones to learn more about the plantings found in this special display.

The gardens are open to the public daily for self-guided tours. Large groups seeking guided tours can contact the college’s Public Relations Department at (618) 468-3200 to set up a date and time to visit.

Lewis Black, Grammy Awardwinning stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple re n o w n e d t h e a t re s i n c l u d i n g Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently a sold out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience.

He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis

is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.

Lewis Black came into national prominence with his appearances on THE DAILY SHOW in 1996.

Those appearances on "The Daily Show" led to comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and Epix. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 Grammy Award-winning "The Carnegie Hall Performance."

Lewis Black won his second Grammy Award for his album "Stark Raving Black." Lewis has published three bestselling books, Nothing’s Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008) and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).

The Chicago Sun-Times raved "This was different. This was live. This was vibrant. This was a cascade of color carried along

by Fagen, Becker, eight brilliant supporting musicians and three superb backing vocalists."

Onstage, Donald and Walter will be joined by those same eight brilliant supporting musicians, now appearing as The Bipolar Allstars (featuring Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington on bass, Jim Beard on keyboards, and Jon Herington on guitar), along with The Borderline Brats — three sublime, soulful songbirds.

Plant tries to retune Zeppelin NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Robert Plant knows his fans want Led Zeppelin and he’s happy to comply.

On his own terms.

Plant is on the road this summer with a new band, The Sensational Space Shifters, and he’s offering up fan favorites — rejiggered a bit to keep him excited about the music he’s been performing for more than four decades.

“You just hit it, give it a good bang,” Plant said. “It’s sort of like taking a can of wasps and giving it a good bang with a stick, and then opening the lid.

It’s just like, ‘Ooooh!’ That makes me sing better and it makes me go back to not feeling that I’m a cliche, that I’m not actually just going through the motions. ... This is obviously a gig but nonetheless you can still make it into a great pleasure dome for yourself, which is what I do.”

Plant is on tour with The Space Shifters through July. He’s hitting Red Rocks in Colorado and the Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Ky., this week with stops in Atlanta, North Carolina and Boston before wrapping in Prospect Park in Brooklyn July 27 after successful runs in South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

He and former Zeppelin bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, who ended the band when John Bonham died in 1980, incited public hope for a reunion when they appeared in London and New York together

last year to promote “Celebration Day,” the film and music release of the band’s 2007 concert at London’s O2 Arena. The band testily deflected questions about a reunion.

“We rode on the crest of every wave for a period of time, us bunch of guys,” Plant said in a phone interview from San Francisco. “And sadly that couldn’t last because one of the guys vanished. And so what happens now is I’m a man of the world like so many people, like in his own way Ry Cooder and Peter Gabriel. ... You pick up so much stuff along the way, you know, and you put it all together, you switch

the power on and people smile and then they dance and then they sweat and then they scream, and it’s either that or sit on a stool and sing George Jones songs.”

The tour effectively marks the end of a seven-year Americana period for Plant that started with “Raising Sand,” his 2007 Grammy Award-winning collaboration with Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett, and continued through his most recent work with girlfriend Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller and Band of Joy. The Space Shifters turn it into something of an abrupt ending.

“World War Z”

Might there be a real zombie apocalypse one day? The way zombies have invaded our pop culture the last several years, it’s maybe a bit less implausible than it once was. What IS increasingly quite plausible, alas, is a global pandemic, and “World War Z,” the long-awaited Brad Pitt thriller, cleverly melds that real-life threat into the more fanciful zombie premise. Talk about more bang for your buck: Once you’ve settled back into your seat after a good snarling zombie chase, there’s nothing like the thought of a SARS outbreak to get the blood racing again. Despite the much-discussed production delays and budget overruns, this movie, based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks (son of Mel), is pretty much what you’d want in a summer blockbuster: scary but not-too-gross zombies, a journey to exotic locales, a few excellent action scenes, and did we mention Pitt? As Gerry Lane, a former U.N. investigator called upon to save the planet, Pitt is a calm, intelligent presence amid the insanity. The most impressive scene is at the beginning, as the streets of Philadelphia are suddenly overrun by packs of wild, raging zombies. For an hour, the action is swift: North Korea, Israel, a harrowing plane crash. The final act takes place on a dramatically smaller scale, and at a slower pace. Oh, a reminder: Turn off those cellphones. After all, it’s not just your movie-going partner you’ll annoy here. Cellphones also happen to awaken zombies.

Consider yourself warned.

RATED: PG-13 for intense frightening zombie sequences, violence and disturbing images.

RUNNING TIME: 116 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Monsters University”

Pixar’s prequel to 2001’s “Monster’s University” is neither a bold return to form nor another misfire following “Brave” and “Cars 2,” but a charming, colorful coming-of-age tale that would be a less qualified success for all but Pixar. The profusion of sequels is indeed dismaying for a studio that so frequently has prized originality. But this is nevertheless pleasant, amiably animated family entertainment. Our expert “scarers” to be — the wisecracking pipsqueak Mike Wazowski (the perfectly paired Billy Crystal) and the burly James B. Sullivan (John Goodman) — are college freshmen with high aspirations in Monster University’s prestigious Scare Program. Wazowski is a lime green ball of wide-eyed idealism, a bookworm oblivious to his total lack of frightinducing menace. Sully is a naturally talented legacy, a lazy jock and son of a famous scarer. Director Dan Scanlon, a veteran Pixar storyboard artist, populates the collegiate life with rich detail and sly but not forced references. The film ultimately makes a surprisingly sharp lesson on the hard truths of limited talent: Giftedness remains a continuing Pixar theme.

RATED: G. RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes.

“The Lone Ranger”

There’s a limit, it turns out, to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish.

In “The Lone Ranger,” Gore Verbinski’s flamboyant

16

On the Edge of the Weekend

re-imagination of the hokey long-running radio show and ‘50s cowboy TV series, Depp eagerly attempts to recreate the extravagant magic of his similarly farcical Jack Sparrow of Verbinski’s “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

With cracked white and black streaks down his face and a dead crow atop his head, Depp’s Tonto (whose look makeup artist Joel Harlow took from the Kirby Sattler painting “I Am Crow”) appears more witch doctor than warrior. One would think that a so-costumed Depp careening through the Old West with Buster Keaton aplomb would make “The Lone Ranger,” at worst, entertaining.

But Verbinski’s film, stretching hard to both reinvent an out-of-date brand and breathe new life in the Western with a desperate onslaught of bloated set pieces, is a poor locomotive for Depp’s eccentric theatrics. For 2 1/2 hours, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Lone Ranger” inflates, subverts and distorts the conventions of the Western until, in an interminable climax, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage. “ T h e L o n g R a n g e r ” i s , a l a s , a ru n a w a y t r a i n . A filmmaker of great excess, Verbinski’s ricocheting whimsy here runs off the rails. Flashback-heavy plot mechanics, occasionally grim violence (bullets land in bodies with the loudest of thwacks, a heart gets eaten) and surrealistic comedy add up to a confused tone that seems uncertain exactly how to position Depp’s Tonto in the movie, to say nothing of Armie Hammer ’s wayward Lone Ranger.

“The Lone Ranger,” RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence, and some suggestive material.

Running time: 149 minutes.

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

“The Way, Way Back”

There’s something inherently formulaic about summer coming-of-age movies. A quirky, awkward and misunderstood kid takes a summer off from regular life and finds a way — at the beach or by the pool — to, well, come of age, often with the help of an equally quirky adult. Summer ends. Life is changed.

And that’s precisely what happens in “The Way, Way Back,” featuring an expert cast led by Steve Carell, Toni Collette and the terrific Sam Rockwell as that quirky adult.

Luckily, though, the film, written and directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, is done with enough skill and delicacy that its adherence to formula doesn’t matter quite so much.

Yes, it could have been a better movie had it taken bolder plot turns. But that likely won’t diminish the smile on your face — and very possibly the tear on your cheek — as you exit this charmer of a film.

About that title: “The Way, Way Back” refers to the back seat in a station wagon that faces out to the road — the way, WAY back seat.

RATED: PG-13 for, according to the Motion Picture Association of America: “thematic elements, language, some sexual content and brief drug material.”

RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Fruitvale Station"

“Fruitvale Station” is more than the dramatization of an obituary. It’s about empathy.

In recounting (and slightly fictionalizing) the final day of 22-year-old Oscar Grant’s life, first-time writer-director Ryan Coogler has made a film that piles small daily gestures — and one final, heartbreakingly tragic one — into an inspiring reminder about basic human decency.

That may sound trite, but “Fruitvale Station” — already a hit on the festival circuit — resonates not just for its portrait of injustice, but because its argument for treating strangers kindly, decently, comes at a time when fear and presumption often trump simple kindness, and the public sphere is navigated in cellphone bubbles.

In a star-making performance, Michael B. Jordan plays Oscar, the San Francisco Bay Area ex-convict and former drug dealer who, famously, was fatally shot by a transit police officer early on New Year’s morning, 2009. The moment is glimpsed in raw cellphone footage at the start of “Fruitvale Station,” before shifting back to the morning before and the start of Oscar’s last full day.

On its surface, it’s a regular day of errands. But all of the stops reflect Oscar ’s struggle to balance his past, his unemployment and his family: girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), four-year-old daughter Tatiana (Ariana Neal) and mother Wanda (Octavia Spencer, also a producer of the film).

RATED: R for some violence, language throughout and some drug use.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

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

"Pacific Rim"

It’s one of the saving graces of “Pacific Rim,” Guillermo Del Toro’s new mega-budget monsters vs. robots extravaganza, that at a key juncture, it knows how to make fun of itself.

This welcome bit of comic relief amid all the crunching, smashing and groaning in 3-D comes just as the good guys — that would be the robots, or rather the humans operating the 25-story machines built to save humanity — have hit a snag.

These massive, digitally controlled contraptions suddenly all fail at once.

But then — eureka! — someone points out that one rusty old robot is analog. And so, in a movie that has spent some $200 million to boast the very best in state-of-the-art tradecraft, an analog machine saves the day, at least temporarily. Ha! Holy retro technology.

It’s too bad that Del Toro’s film, a throwback to the Japanese Kaiju monster films made famous by “Godzilla,” didn’t have more such deft moments. Though it’s made by an obviously gifted director and will likely please devotees of the genre, it ultimately feels very short on character and heavy on noise, noise, noise. Did we mention the crunching, smashing and groaning?

Happily, the plot is not convoluted (the script is by Travis Beacham and Del Toro) and there’s at least one really cool concept, called “The Drift.” No, this doesn’t involve land formations.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief language.

RUNNING TIME: 131 minutes.

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

Associated Press

In this Wednesday, June 26, 2013 photo, Mexican director Guillermo del Toro speaks about his new film "Pacific Rim" during an interview in Miami.

"Pacific Rim" harkens back to monster films

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The appeal of “Pacific Rim” isn’t complicated.

Like the kind of boyhood fantasy that delights in flying men and relishes dreams of dinosaurs, “Pacific Rim,” the latest film from director Guillermo Del Toro, is predicated on the simple, childlike thrill of seeing big ol’ robots and big ol’ monsters slug it out.

But while summer spectacles have grown ever larger in recent years, the monster movie — the original city-smashing genre — has mostly ceded the multiplexes to superheroes and more apocalyptic disaster films. But 14

years after Roland Emmerich’s forgettable “Godzilla” remake, Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” constitutes a large-scale attempt to bring Japan’s beloved Kaiju movies — their monster films, of which Ishiro Honda’s 1954 “Godzilla” is the most famous — to American shores.

“Monsters have always spoken to a part of me that is really, really essential,” Del Toro, the Mexican director of the Oscar-nominated “Pan’s Labyrinth,” said in a recent interview.

“All of my life, I felt out of place. The tragedy of every monster in every movie is that they are out of place. That’s the essential plight of monsters.”

In the 3-D “Pacific Rim,” which Warner Bros. will release on July 12, the 25-story-high

Kaiju emanate (as is tradition) from the sea one by one, each uniquely grotesque beasts.

To combat these monsters and defend the coastlines of the Pacific, equally giant robots called Jaegers are built, each controlled by two brain-connected pilots.

Since he was a child, Del Toro has compulsively drawn monsters, beginning with sketches of the Creature from “Creature from the Black Lagoon” and the Phantom from “Phantom of the Opera.” He’s still an obsessive drawer (he has a book of drawings for every movie he makes), but creating the creatures and robots of “Pacific Rim” meant working in an entirely different scale.

While the Kaiju films of Toho studios were

a formative influence on Del Toro, he boxed up his DVDs before starting work on “Pacific Rim,” intent on making a movie that wasn’t a mere homage. Instead, he took inspiration less from Japanese monster films than paintings like Goya’s “The Colossus” (which depicts a passing muscular giant, with fists raised, surrounded by clouds) and George Bellows’ visceral boxing paintings of hulking combatants.

“I wanted to bring the awe and spectacle of when you watch something so big that the scale is inhuman,” says Del Toro. “I kept thinking of the Goya painting because it seemed detached from ethical judgment. It’s so beyond human."

"The Lone Ranger" an uneven ride

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge I've always liked cowboy movies.

I cut my teeth with John Wayne Weekends as a child, enjoying the likes of "The Sons of Katie Elder" and "El Dorado" with my dad. There never seemed to be a shortage of Western TV programs on Saturday mornings back then and I watched them all: "High Chaparral," "The Rifleman," "The Virginian." I know these shows were long into reruns by the time I got to them, but does it really matter? There is something incredibly satisfying about the decisive of justice at the end of a Colt .45 or lawman's noose. When men could be judged by the color of the hat that they wore - colors that often matched the deeds of their day

- it made for amazing broadcasting.

Disney, then, didn't need to try so hard to win me over to seeing "The Lone Ranger" film that came out around Independence Day. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels were no strangers in my memory. I don't miss too many movies and this was certainly a high priority for our family this summer.

The lone ranger is John Reid (Armie Hammer) who starts the movie as a do-gooder attorney fresh out of law school. He's a real dude who gets mixed-up in a chase for an escaped outlaw named Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) after the disfigured villain causes the train bringing Reid to middle-of-nowhere Texas to join his lawman brother, Dan (James Badge Dale), to crash in a spectacular opening sequence. Reid

finds his savior in Tonto (Johnny Depp), a Comanche Indian, who nurses him back to health after Dan's posse is ambushed by the dastardly Cavendish Gang. The spiritual Tonto, played to the usual hilt by Depp, convinces Reid to don a black mask to hide his survival from his enemies. And a pop culture figure is re-born for the ages. The story of revenge that follows our pair of heroes from this point is long and meandering. They solve no problem quickly.

As they seek out justice, they quickly are embroiled in other shenanigans perpetrated by the Cavalry (including Barry Pepper), railroad men (primarily a wicked Tom Wilkinson), and a cuckoo cathouse madam (Helena Bonham Carter) with a prosthetic ivory leg.

Each of these vignettes, none by themselves enough for a standalone story, is retold by an elderly Tonto as he serves time in a traveling fair many years into the future. This manifestation of The Lone Ranger is unabashedly a slapstick comedy, I'm sorry to say. The humor, often juvenile, is the sort that keeps rearing its head when the story lags. Silver, Reid's faithful stallion, is often the butt of the comic relief in this film.

He's constantly showing up in weird places (on top of buildings or train cars) or whinnying discontentedly when on camera. Even his manure is mined for frequent guffaws.

For fans of "The Lone Ranger" television show (or even the older radio show), I knew you'd turn out, too. You're an older audience, prone to Saturday and Sunday

July 18, 2013

matinees. That's why the marketing spin for this movie tried to turn it into an origin story to try to capture children's attention. That's what Disney does. If you were a fan of "National Treasure" or "The Pirates of the Caribbean" films, this one is for you. But, truthfully, it's not as good as either of those films. I wasn't prepared for the level of (all too timid) comedy that abounds.

That said, the last 20 minutes of this picture are a blast - full on revelry with Gatling guns, the William Tell Overture, and a runaway locomotive.

Great fun, but an uneven overall experience.

The Lone Ranger runs 166 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense action and violence, and some suggestive material. I give this film one star out of four.

Religion East Oregon Buddhist temple evolves ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) — Connie Shimojima and his family settled in Ontario in 1943 after leaving a Japanese internment camp in northern California. The IdahoOregon Buddhist Temple was not yet in existence. " I t h o u g h t , ' We h a v e n o religion here,'" said Shimojima, 94. "We were used to the temple presence."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt s i g n e d a n e x e c u t i v e o rd e r i n 1 9 4 2 c o m m a n d i n g m o re t h a n 100,000 Japanese Americans w h o l i v e d o n t h e We s t C o a s t to enter internment camps. In 1943, Shimojima and his family, including his 1-month-old son, left the internment camp in Tulelake on a sugar beet bus to look for farming work in the Treasure Valley. They had been in the camp for one year.

"It was my responsibility as oldest son to find something for my family," said Shimojima, who

lives in Ontario with his wife, Glo. "I don't know how we did it."

Joshin Dennis Fujimoto, the current reverend of the temple, said those first Japanese Americans who settled in Ontario during and after the war had a "pioneer spirit."

"They were eating onions that they grew because that's all they had," Fujimoto said. "Those were very sparse beginnings that they came here with."

By 1946, the Japanese American evacuees from the internment camps who had settled in Ontario expressed a need for a Buddhist t e m p l e , t o wo r sh ip in an d t o congregate for social activities.

A plot of land was acquired six miles southwest of Ontario, near today's golf course, under the direction of the Rev. Tesshin Shibata, who previously served as the minister at the White River B u d d h i s t Te m p l e i n A u b u r n ,

comprise about 1.5 percent of Malheur County's 31,000 residents, five times the state average, said Charles Rynerson, an analyst for Portland State University's Center for Population Research and Census, in an article by the Oregonian in 2009.

"I think it's very positive that there was a growth period after the war for the larger community to be able to accept the Japanese American community and to recognize that they are Americans, and they're not the enemy," Fujimoto said.

Fujimoto said Buddhist temples in America historically acted as the center of Japanese American communities. Japanese language, culture and music were taught at temples.

"This social aspect was essential in people being able t o m e e t o t h e r s w h o w e re o f similar heritage and background and similar in family values,"

Wa s h . , w h e re S h i m o j i m a w a s born.

"It was half for Reverend Shibata, his parsonage, and the other half was the temple," Shimojima said.

The congregation outgrew the small temple by 1949. Church members reached a decision to build a temple closer to town and land was purchased on the east side of Ontario. Temple members collected funds to build the new temple and donated their time in the construction, working on the building in the evenings after completing their own day's work.

"We were able to use our own hands to build it," Shimojima said. "I built the front staircase.

I'm pretty proud of that."

G ro u n d b re a k i n g c e re m o n i e s for the temple, which is one of only two Buddhist Churches of America in Oregon, took place in 1952.

Japanese Americans now

Fujimoto said.

However, Fujimoto estimates 10 percent of his present 150member congregation is not Japanese.

"I would think we have a form of Buddhism here that has been in America for over 100 years and it's very suited to the American lifestyle," Fujimoto said. "We're not a cultural museum. The teachings are applicable to life in America today. They're not just for Japanese Americans, but for people of all backgrounds and ethnicities."

Steve Willhite, who joined the Buddhist temple two years ago with his wife, said he was drawn to the nonjudgmental community.

"It's a peaceful philosophy that emphasizes a spirit of thankfulness and interconnectedness with everyone and everything," said Willhite, 47, who is from Payette. "It teaches you to let go of your ego."

Dining Delights

The flavor of main street The Dr. Jazz Soda Fountain & Grille in Lebanon

By KRISTA WILKINSON MIDGLEY Of The Edge

I

n our family, a trip to Lebanon isn’t complete without paying a visit to Dr. Jazz Soda Fountain & Grille. Located on the town’s historic main street, Dr. Jazz evokes the feeling of a bygone era when teenagers sipped milkshakes at the counter on their first date and Little League players cooled off after a game with a Coca-Cola fresh from the fountain.

Usually, we limit our visits to just ice cream. But more about that particular delight later. This time we decided to sit down and linger over a few of the restaurant’s lunch offerings.

The circa 1900 building began life as a pharmacy before owners Paul and Sarah Krumsieg embarked on the mammoth task of restoring it to its former glory.

The interior is flanked on one side by the massive wooden bar and a row of tall wooden booths on the other. Polished wood floors with the occasional scuff mark, exposed brick walls and even an antique phone booth

Krista Wilkinson Midgley/The Edge

Above, a Southwest Chicken sandwich at the Dr. Jazz Soda Fountain & Grille in Lebanon. Below, the building's exterior. add to the building’s charm and sense of nostalgia. There is also an impressive miniature model of the restaurant in the front window.

On the day of our visit we arrived early just as the kitchen staff was firing up the grill. Our waitress greeted us cheerfully and offered us our choice of where to sit. She also noticed we had two young children with us and immediately offered to fetch a high chair and booster seat.

Good start.

Once everyone was seated and safely strapped in, we began scanning our menus. I went for the Southwest Chicken sandwich, which comes with a grilled chicken breast topped with red pesto sauce, provolone cheese and lettuce, tomato and mayo on your choice of bread.

All sandwiches are accompanied with your choice of Dr. Jazz’s special recipe coleslaw or fresh cut fries.

I opted for the fries and wasn’t disappointed. The chicken breast was moist and tender but the real star of this dish was the red pesto sauce. I’ve never been much of a pesto person in the past, but after tasting this version I’m a total convert. The slightly spicy, slightly sweet flavor melded perfectly with the gooey provolone cheese.

And the crisp lettuce and tomatoes added a pleasant crunch to it all. The bread was lightly toasted without a hint of sogginess.

Lots of places like to brag about their fries, but I usually find they’re either just loaded up with salt and/or spices. Instead,

On the Edge of the Weekend

July 18, 2013

these fries were fried to a deep golden color and perfectly seasoned. I’m awarding bonus points for leaving the skin on.

My husband went for the Chicken Strips, which were a generous size and came with a choice of dipping sauce. He also chose fries for his side as he’s never been much of a coleslaw fan.

His verdict on the chicken strips was a big thumbs up, both for the size of the strips and their crispiness. He also praised the fries for being hot, crispy and not-too-salty.

The third member of our family also chose Chicken Strips from the kid’s menu, and the baby nibbled pieces of my grilled chicken and bread.

Other menu items that caught my attention included the Italian Beef sandwich, Chicago Style Hot Dog complete with a poppy seed bun and the good old fashioned Quarter Pound Cheeseburger.

Lighter choices include a selection of salads such as the Classic Caesar, Chef Salad or Dr. Jazz’s Signature Cashew Salad with mixed greens, bacon tossed in raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette dressing and topped with grated Swiss cheese and cashews.

Our tummies satisfied, we turned our attention to dessert.

For those people with an extra stomach reserved just for dessert, you can choose from the extensive dessert menu. Coconut lovers will want to try the George Bailey, which comes with two scoops of Coconut Joy ice cream and is covered with rich

fudge and shredded coconut.

And nut fans should definitely opt for the Maple Leaf Rag, which comes with two scoops of Maple Nut ice cream and is topped with caramel topping and walnuts.

The soda fountain also offers a selection of drinkable treats including shakes, malts, phosphates, floats and ice cream sodas. Told you this place was awesome.

As I stated in the beginning of this article, the ice cream Dr. Jazz serves is so good it really ought to have its own review.

It’s called Cedar Crest and is produced in Wisconsin. What makes this ice cream so much better than the rest? It’s creamier than anything I’ve tasted before (except possibly Italian gelato).

There is also a wide selection of unique flavors to choose from.

You honestly just have to try it to believe it. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Our total bill came to $30 including tip, which we felt was excellent value for two adult meals, one kid meal plus two ice cream cones.

And for anyone planning on an overnight visit to Lebanon, be sure to check out Dr. Jazz’s Suite. This accommodation comes with two bedrooms, one bathroom and a shared living room/kitchenette. There’s also a pool table to keep your crew entertained.

Dr. Jazz Soda Fountain & Grille is located at 230 West St. Louis St. in Lebanon. Call 5372200 for more information or visit www.drjazzsodafountain. com.
