Grossology

Science Center offers an in-depth look at you and your body

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

M

ost of us wouldn’t admit it now, but when we were kids, there was something about our noses. We all at one time or another put our finger or other objects up inside it.

Sitting at many a stoplight, I find that many adults still do that. Yuck, I know, but true.

Gross as it may be, there is a genuine fascination with how our bodies work, especially for kids.

The Saint Louis Science Center is once again hosting the exhibit “Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body.” In 2000, the exhibit visited the center and was extremely popular.

“Ten years ago, more than 165,000 visitors marveled at the gross and fascinating nature of the human body in this unique exhibition,” said Carol Valenta, Senior Vice President and Associate Director of the Museum.

“Now a whole new generation can get the answers to the questions kids love to ask about the human body.”

Grossology is currently open to the public and is planned to remain on exhibit until March 27, 2011.

This great exhibit uses sophisticated animatronics and imaginative exhibits to tell visitors the good, the bad and the downright ugly truth about runny noses, body odor and much more.

Every kid begins to ask those questions that are hard to come up with answers for. “What are boogers made of?” “Why do my armpits stink?” “Why is passing gas so funny?” “Why do I sneeze?”

“What makes a burp and why can some people do it louder than

others?” If you have been a parent or around kids for any length of time, you certainly have heard some of these questions or worse!

Here is a chance to have those questions put to rest in a creative manner where kids can get a hands-on answer. Best part, you don’t have to give the explanation.

Let the Grossology exhibit do the talking for you.

This exhibit was designed to be the first of its kind. Kids of all ages will enjoy the array of fun, colorful, interactive exhibits that will give them the opportunity to: • Become a dust particle and walk through a giant nose to learn about air filtering, air heating, olfaction and mucus production.

• Climb a human skin wall with warts, hairs, wounds and other objects that act as hand and foot holds. Here visitors discover more about features such as pimples,

blisters, pores, bruises and scabs as they relate to the epidermis.

• Visit the Vomit center and learn the many reasons humans vomit.

foot can to make him drink and increase his stomach pressure.

• Play Gas Attack pinball and collect points off bumpers dressed up as food items.

• Stop by the Toot Toot exhibit to create different sounds that replicate the physics of gas.

• Help a larger-than-life cartoon character release a giant burp by pumping soda pop from a three-

• Crawl and slide through a 30plus foot long 3-D model of the digestive system.

• Learn how food is digested as it passes through the gastrointestinal system by

watching an X-ray machine.

• Listen to various sounds the body makes such as stomach gurgles, air movement in the lungs, heart beating and gulping in the throat by pressing buttons on a cartoon body.

• Find out what causes runny noses, sneezes and allergies with Nigel Nose-It-All. Microscope stations at this exhibit also feature things that cause runny noses.

• Learn how boogers are formed by launching dirt balls into a larger-than-life nose. Be careful though, it may sneeze and shoot back a slew of dirt balls!

• Play surgery and attempt to remove organ parts from a body without touching the sides of the patient.

This is just a small overview of what people will experience at Grossology.

Admission to the Saint Louis Science Center is free, but since Grossology is a special exhibit, the admittance tickets are $4.50 for SLSC adult members, $3.50 for SLSC member children and seniors. For non-members, tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for

children and seniors.

For more information on the exhibit or the Saint Louis Science Center, visit www.slsc.org or call 314-289-4400. Or you can visit the Grossology Web site at www. grossologytour.com.

At top, the Vomit Center: A Rube Goldbergesque structure of the digestive system explores the many causes of vomiting in the special exhibition. Above right, Tour du Nose: Visitors to Grossology can enter a giant cartoon nose and explore 10 realistic nasal features during the exhibition.

On Campus University Museum helps with fundraiser The University Museum of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville recently assembled and installed a display at the main branch of TheBANK of Edwardsville to help kick off the effort to raise funds for a memorial in city park that will pay tribute to Edwardsville-Glen Carbon area residents who have sacrificed their lives in the armed services since World War I. The fundraising effort has been s p e a rh e a d e d b y D o u g l a s a n d Jill Garbs, parents of U.S. Army Ranger Spc. Ryan C. Garbs, who was killed in action in Zabul Province, Afghanistan. The Greater Edwardsville Area Community Foundation is accepting donations on behalf of the effort.

The monument will be constructed of two wings of granite and will display a bronze bust of a soldier to be modeled after Ryan Garbs but symbolizing those who made a similar sacrifice. The pocket tab on the bust will read “OUR SON” but will be representative of all 75 soldiers listed on the memorial wings.

TheBANK display features the bust that will eventually become part of the actual park memorial.

Doug Garbs, who researched the names of the soldiers that will become part of the memorial, said he welcomes information from families to add other soldiers’ names to the list.

Eric Barnett, director of The University Museum, said the display brings attention to the fund drive. The memorial’s bust is at the centerpiece of the display that also includes the list of the fallen soldiers’ names.

“SIUE and the bank have a long-standing relationship during which they have helped support a wide variety of projects and p ro g r a m s a t t h e U n i v e r s i t y, ” Barnett pointed out. “So, when (TheBANK Senior Vice President

of Marketing) Grady Ambuel called and asked to borrow a s c u l p t u re s t a n d o n w h i c h t o display the bust, I was more than happy to help. “ I n f a c t , in addition to the pedestal, we expanded the idea to include the graphics and the list of names in the display,” Barnett said.

“Jill Garbs is a retiree of SIUE and part of our University family, so it was fitting that we help with this display.” Jill Garbs is associate professor emerita of Library and Information Services.

According to Doug Garbs, the foundation’s goal is to collect $40,000 to construct the monument. So far, he said, $11,750 has been collected from area businesses and residents, including TheBANK, which donated $2,500.

K e n t We b e r, p r e s i d e n t o f TheEDGEBANK, has spearheaded a grass roots fundraising campaign for the monument through what is being called the Gold Star Banner Program.

The banners are being offered at various area businesses to patrons who may purchase one for any d o n a t i o n $1 and above. “The intent of the banner program is to give every citizen in the (area) an opportunity to contribute to this monument,” Weber told The Edwardsville Intelligencer.

“The Gold Star Monument is about the many brave soldiers who have no monument, no memorial to them,” Garbs said.

“For us, this is part of our healing and we hope it will serve a similar purpose for the families of these patriots of the Greater Edwardsville Area.”

Thomas Holloway, president of TheBANK of Edwardsville, said TheBANK is “very proud to be among the businesses in the area that have supported this family’s wish to memorialize their son and the solders of so many

other families in the area who served their country with pride.

We encourage other businesses to follow suit in support of these brave families that have given so much to our country and the local community,” he said.

Alex Kowlachik (on table), Allie Kauling and Aiyanna Wade take the stagte in “Miss Julie.”

Love, lust and a timeless class struggle SIUE Department of Theater and Dance presents “Miss Julie”

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

O

nce again, we are reminded that we have some of the most talented actors, stage directors, scenery creators, costume designers, etc., right here within our reach.

So often we feel we have to go out of our way to see the most “professional” productions, when right in our backyard is SIUE, with an array of artistic performances.

The next performance of “Miss Julie” will be performed by the SIUE Department of Theater and Dance. They continue the 2010-11 main season with this beautiful performance written by August Strindberg and directed by Jason Cannon.

Evening curtain is at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 1 through Saturday, Dec. 4, and Friday, Dec. 10 and Saturday, Dec. 11. Matinee performances begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 12. All shows are in the Metcalf Theater on the campus of SIUE. Due to the nature of the show there will be no late seating for this production.

November 25, 2010

Set on a midsummer night in 1874, Miss Julie lives with her father on his country estate where she attempts to escape an existence cramped by social mores and obligations. She is attracted to a footman, a senior servant named Jean, but Jean has his own desires and agenda.

This is a naturalistic play written in 1888 by August Strindberg dealing with class, love/lust, the battle of the sexes, and the interaction among them. Set on the estate of a Count in Sweden, Miss Julie dances at the servants’ annual midsummer party, where she is drawn to a senior servant, a footman named Jean, who is particularly welltraveled, well-mannered and well-read. The action takes place in the kitchen of Miss Julie’s father ’s manor; here Jean’s fiancée, a servant named Christine, cooks and sometimes sleeps while Jean and Miss Julie talk.

The plot is primarily concerned with power in its various forms. Miss Julie has power over Jean because she is upper-class. Jean has power over Miss Julie because he is male and uninhibited by aristocratic values. The count, Miss Julie’s father, has power over both of them since he is a nobleman, an employer, and a father.

On this night, behavior between Miss Julie and Jean

which was previously a flirtatious contest for power rapidly escalates to a love relationship – or is it just lust?

– that is fully consummated. Over the course of the play, Miss Julie and Jean battle for control, which swings back and forth between them until Jean convinces her that the only way to escape her predicament is to commit suicide.

This play contains mature themes and situations.

Tickets are $10 for adults, and $8 for seniors and nonSIUE students with a valid student I.D.,and SIUE faculty and staff. All SIUE students with a valid I.D. are free thanks to the Campus Activities Board.

“Over the Tavern” The Rep presents a comical tale of growing pains

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge The Christmas season can be a time of stress, tension and rushing around, missing out on many of the great events that go on around the St. Louis area. We all need to laugh at times; maybe that is just what the doctor ordered to lighten up the Christmas season.

Take some time with some friends or family and take in a fantastically funny comedy that will be showing at The Rep, “Over The Tavern.”

“Over The Tavern” opens on Wednesday, Dec. 1, and runs through most of the month of December, closing on Sunday, Dec. 26.

This charming and riotously funny comedy was written by Tom Dudzick and has received rave reviews.

This hilarious and poignant production will be performed on the

Browning Mainstage of the LorettoHilton Center for the Performing Arts, 130 Edgar Road (on the campus of Webster University), Webster Groves.

Curtain times are Tuesday at 7 p.m.; Wednesday through Friday at 8 p.m.; selected Wednesday matinees at 1:30 p.m.; Saturday evenings at 5 p.m.; selected Saturday nights at 9 p.m.; Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.; and selected Sunday evenings at 7 p.m. Due to the holidays, there will be an additional performance on Dec. 20, at 8 p.m.

Life is certainly no picnic for the Pazinskis. In 1950s Buffalo, Chet and Ellen live above their tavern with their four teenagers, each more mischievous than the next. Wisecracking and clever 12 year-old Rudy is working on his Ed Sullivan impression instead of studying for Catechism. With a plethora of religions in the world, Rudy would rather shop around for a more “fun” religion. Meanwhile, his older brother Eddie and sister Annie are both fraught with guilt over their awakening sexual feelings. Adding to the uproarious mayhem is Rudy’s cognitively

disabled brother Georgie, who has added a few questionable words to his limited vocabulary. Throw in a knuckle-busting nun, moodswinging parents and a cupboard full of sugary cereals and audiences of all ages and faiths will be rolling in the aisles.

“Over The Tavern” premiered at Buffalo’s Studio Arena Theatre in 1994 and won the local ArtVoice Theatre Award for Outstanding New Play. Due to popular demand, Over The Tavern has been reprised

by Studio Arena several times since its premiere and has appeared in countless regional theatres across the country. In 2000, The Rep produced “Over The Tavern” to sold-out audiences, who simply couldn’t get enough of the Pazinski family and the life lessons doled out by Sister Clarissa.

The cast of “Over The Tavern” at The Rep is Celeste Ciulla (last seen in “The Heidi Chronicles”) as Ellen, Kevin Cutts as Chet, Darrie Lawrence as Sister Clarissa (last seen in “The Retreat from Moscow”), Katie McClellan as Annie, Spencer Davis Milford as Rudy, Eric Nelsen as Eddie and Braden Phillips as Georgie.

The Rep’s production of “Over The Tavern” is directed by Michael Evan Haney.

The creative staff also includes Paul Shortt, set designer; Dorothy Marshall Englis, costume designer; Dennis Parichy, lighting designer; Rusty Wandall, sound designer; Glenn Dunn, stage manager; and Shannon B. Sturgis, assistant stage manager.

Ticket prices start at just $15 (previews) and $18.50 (regular performances). To purchase, visit The Rep Box Office, located inside the Loretto-Hilton Center, charge by phone by calling (314) 9684925, or visit The Rep’s Online Box Office at http://www.repstl.org.

Major sponsorship for this production is provided by Boeing and The Mary Ranken Jordan and Ettie A. Jordan Charitable Foundation.

TSO will roll into St. Louis Dec. 30 The Christmas spectacular known as Trans-Siberian Orchestra will hit St. Louis for two shows – 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. – on Thursday, Dec. 30.

Tickets are on sale now at the S c o t t r a d e C e n t e r B o x O ff i c e , Livenation.com or Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, one of the top selling concert acts in the world creates one of the most captivating concert experiences on the road today. Insistent on giving their fans the most “value for their dollar,” TSO puts on an over-the-top audio/visual spectacular complete with lasers, pyrotechnics and state of the art lighting with a ticket price that starts as low as $25 allowing generations of fans to be enthralled year after year.

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

With sales in excess of 7 million - including nearly 2 million CDs and DVDs sold in the past two years -Trans-Siberian Orchestra is

among the most popular groups of the modern era. The Orchestra debuted in 1996 with the timeless “Christmas Eve and Other Stories.”

Highlighted by the remarkable hit single, “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24,” the album has since achieved 2x platinum certification from the RIAA, with sales now rapidly approaching 3 million. Two further albums completed O’Neill’s planned Christmas Trilogy; 1998’s “The Christmas Attic” and 2004’s “The Lost Christmas Eve,” both of which are currently approaching 2x platinum certification. All three of the Orchestra’s Christmas-themed

albums have proven enduring blockbusters, returning annually to the top 10 on Billboard’s “Top Catalog Albums” and “Top Holiday Albums” charts.

TSO’s 2009 Winter Tour played to over 1.2 million fans in 80+ cities, and generating revenues of nearly $45 million, which according to Billboard magazine’s midyear touring chart, put them as the #2 most attended tour. Since its first Winter Tour in 1999, TSO has been one of the concert business’s most successful acts, consistently rating in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and audience attendance.

In the spring of 2010, TSO debuted the much-anticipated live rock opera “Beethoven’s Last Night,” TSO’s gold-certified rock opera fantasy about “what could have happened” on Beethoven’s final night of life. The successful tour provided the template for their innovative brand of “Rock Theater” and the much-anticipated World Tour in 2011.

The band’s latest release “Night Castle,” which featuring the singles, “Believe” and a cover of the classic “Nutrocker,” burst onto Billboard’s “Top 200” chart and was certified gold in less than 8 weeks.

Music Tuning in SLSYO marks 40th anniversary The St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra (YO), founded in 1970

by St. Louis Symphony Conductor Laureate Leonard Slatkin, celebrates its 40th anniversary throughout the 2010-2011 season. YO Music Director and St. Louis Symphony Resident Conductor Ward Stare will conduct the nearly 100-member orchestra in three exciting concerts at Powell Hall, plus a run-out performance at McKendree University.

As part of the 40th-anniversary celebration, a scholarship fund will be established to provide tuition aid for selected YO members. The fund honors the late Edith Hougland, founding YO manager. “Edith’s years of dedication and hard work were truly remarkable,” said current YO manager Peggy Neilson. “We are happy to establish this fund in her name.”

YO anniversary events were launched in June, when more than sixty YO musicians traveled to New York City to perform at the historic Riverside Church. The program included Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, with Ward Stare conducting. The YO musicians also toured prestigious New York musical institutions, including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Juilliard School, attended a performance by the New York Philharmonic, and received coaching from Philharmonic members. The performance received a glowing review from The New York Times, which called it “a terrific concert…

inspired to impressive heights,” praising the YO’s “elegant phrasing and nuanced dynamic contrasts…all sections meshing into a vigorous and expressive whole.”

Other anniversary activities include: • An invitational rehearsal on November 27 for parents, alumni, and members of the Symphony Volunteers Association. Leonard Slatkin will conduct the Billy the Kid Suite, as he did in the YO’s inaugural performance on December 4, 1970 • A run-out performance on May 1, 2011, at the Hett Center of McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois, featuring the Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D major, “Titan” Alumni of the YO are encouraged to get in touch with Peggy Neilson, YO Manager, to update contact information and share current progress and experiences. She can be reached at peggyn@stlsymphony. org or 314-286-4407.

Concert II Sunday, March 20, 2011 3:00 PM Ward Stare, conductor First half of program TBA HINDEMITH Symphonic metamorphosis of themes by Carl Maria von Weber Concert III Sunday, May 15, 2011 3:00 PM Ward Stare, conductor First half of program TBA MAHLER Symphony No. 1 in D major, “Titan” Founded in 1970 by Leonard Slatkin, the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra (YO) has had a

significant impact on the region’s student musicians for 40 years. The YO consists of young musicians ranging in age from 12-22. Members of the Youth Orchestra represent more than three dozen schools throughout the St. Louis region and some from as far away as Springfield, Illinois, and Rolla and Columbia, Missouri. YO members receive coaching from St. Louis Symphony members during the season. The YO has been a springboard for many young musicians seeking a career in orchestral music – including six current members of the St. Louis Symphony. There are more than 1,000 YO alumni performing, teaching, and working in fields other than music. In 2008, the YO performed in the Missouri State Capital Building in Jefferson City and spoke with legislators about the importance of music education.

The YO continues its advocacy for music education locally and state wide. Youth Orchestra musicians are selected by annual auditions.

RME plans Senior Music Series The River Music Experience (RME) is excited to announce its brand new Senior Music Series. The series will feature a variety of musical talent that will include jazz, big bands, and even a Senior Citizen prom.

Concerts will run from 5:00 p.m.

- 6:30 p.m. and will be held on the second floor of the RME. Admission to each show is $7 for non-members, $5 for RME members and for groups of ten or more.

From big band jazz to 50’s rock, the new series will be a fantastic addition to the diverse musical opportunities provided by RME. “The Senior Concert Series at RME is an wonderful new addition to our programming, and compliments our mission to serve as a music center for the entire community,” said Ellis Kell, Director of Programming & Community Outreach.

“The RME is always looking for ways to engage people of all ages in our community,” said Jean Bahls, RME Controller, who created the new concert series for seniors. “The Senior Concert Series gives us a wonderful opportunity to connect with seniors and provide them with new and interesting musical education and entertainment.”

The Senior Music Series is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Senior Star at Elmore Place.

Be thankful for everything you have

D

o you recall the Bible verse that says, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God…?

Contentment with our life is an often s e e m i n g l y i m p o s s i b l e g o a l . We h a v e problems, we are dissatisfied, and we moan and groan and look about at others and wonder why they have all the ‘luck’ while we struggle so.

I read a daily devotional called “Our Daily Bread” each morning. Recently I found myself smiling at the beginning of an article on contentment. It began “As a rule, man’s a food. When it’s hot, he wants it cool. And when it’s cool, he wants it hot. Always wanting what is not.”

If that doesn’t describe ‘discontented’ I don’t know what does. And it applies equally to all of us.

In a recent Bible study we were discussing Paul’s ability to be content in all circumstances, even while imprisoned and persecuted.

Paul reminded the early believers that he had learned to be satisfied with whatever he had. He states, “I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty…

I know what it means to be full or hungry…and he adds, “Christ gives me the strength to face anything.”

I know that as we discussed all that Paul suffered, we wondered if we could begin to withstand such persecution and abuse.

Have you ever watched a documentary

Doris Gvillo from other far off place in our world and noted the, in our minds, ‘lack of what we call necessities’?

W h y, w e o f t e n t h i n k , t h e y l i v e s o p r i m i t i v e l y. T h e y h a v e n o a m e n i t i e s .

Life must be so hard. And yet, often we see them smiling, dancing, and seeming to enjoy their lives. How can that be, we wonder?

I do know that after seeing the poverty and want in countries such as Haiti after the disastrous earthquake, I find myself wondering what I have done to deserve to be so blessed. And with the knowledge of all the needs in our nation and around the world, we are given the c h a l l e n g e t o b e g e n e ro u s t o t h o s e i n need.

While my childhood couldn’t begin to fall into the category of all the suffering and needy people in our world, I find myself comparing my life now to my life back then.

As I think back to my childhood and what I have now versus what we had then, I am amazed. We had no furnace.

We had no running water. We carried our water buckets into the only room over the basement with a stove so that t h e w a t e r w o u l d n ’ t b e f ro z e n i n t h e morning during the cold of winter.

Did we feel poor? Did we feel needy?

I’ll a\dmit I loved going to my aunt’s home in town to take a lovely bath in her bathroom…a big tub…what a treat.

But did we feel poor? I don’t think so because so many lived just as we did. We had good food…mother was a wonderful cook…we had a home, we had clothing, we had family and friends and yes, we had a faith that said that even if we didn’t have a lot, we had enough to share with others.

Now I have a very modern home with lots of amenities. I appreciate and like all of them. If I am honest, I must say my life is probably easier than my mother ’s when it comes to work in the home, but I’ll also admit that my life probably isn’t any happier.

Having ‘things’ and all the ‘conveniences’ our life offers today doesn’t guarantee that we are happier or more contented.

One of my favorite Bible verses has always been “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

When illness has threatened, when the loss of a loved one came, when as we f a r m e d , a d ro u g h t t o o k a w a y i n c o m e for the year and we wondered how we’d make it, when all types of problems arose in our lives, I held fast to those words knowing that never ever would we be alone. God was always there guiding us through the rough times.

I can remember doing programs in the past and the thought of speaking before a group made my knees wobble and my hands shake, but a short prayer before c a l m e d m e d o w n . I t w o u l d p ro b a b l y have been very simple. Something like, “Well, I’m here Lord and I’ll do my best,

Southern Baptists change approach COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s Southern Baptists have approved a resolution encouraging pastors to preach against homosexuality but also urging Christians to show compassion to gay people.

Another resolution passed by more than 1,000 delegates at a convention in Columbia recently also urges state lawmakers to vote against any bills that would expand legal gambling activity in South Carolina.

Other resolutions approved encourage Baptists to be more involved in prison ministries.

but I’ll need your help. Be with me so that my words will reflect your claim upon my life.” And, you know that somehow I always muddled through.

I’ve prayed for my family, my friends, even my enemies with the assurance that God hears. Sometimes I’ve needed to wait (I wish I could say patiently) to ascertain God’s plan. But I am reassured that God hears and answers my prayers.

Maybe our life isn’t always what we would choose, but always comparing out lot with the lot of others is a waste of time and energy. Wanting what we don’t have doesn’t accomplish much.

Sometimes our working towards a goal we want to reach helps us to achieve that goal.

But if it doesn’t, it doesn’t mean God has deserted us. It means we can still be ‘content’ and view all the blessings we do have instead of bemoaning what we don’t have.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Maybe we should all be aware of all the many blessings we have in our lives and say a prayer of thanksgiving to a God who provides for our needs and strengthens and guides us through all our days.

I think I’ll close with a line from the devotional that touched my heart. It is, “No matter what you’re facing today, through prayer you can receive the strength to be content.”

Movies

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“127 Hours”

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

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

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

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

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes.

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

“Due Date”

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

“Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer”

You want tears? You want convulsive sobs, weepy remorse, pleadings for forgiveness? Well, look elsewhere, because Eliot Spitzer isn’t going to give them to you. What he will do in this documentary is provide measured, succinct contrition. The former governor of New York knows he made a mistake in hiring high-priced call girls: “I did what I did. And shame on me.” He takes this mistake very seriously — describes it as if it were Greek tragedy, compares himself to Icarus. He explains matter-of-factly that such dalliances fulfilled his needs in a less risky and emotionally taxing way than embarking on a full-blown affair. So no, this is not the cinematic equivalent of Spitzer sitting on Oprah’s couch and psychoanalyzing himself. He’s too self-possessed to allow the film to devolve into some sort of cheesy, crowd-pleasing catharsis; the most revealing statement Spitzer makes about himself comes when he recalls his father foreclosing on him while playing Monopoly when he was 10. That right there says so much about the forces that shaped the man who would become New York’s crusading attorney general, prosecuting some of America’s largest financial institutions and wealthiest corporate executives — and making the sort of enemies who would contribute to, and revel in, his disgrace. Similarly, Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (“Taxi to the Dark Side”) seems uninterested in rehashing the juicy details of Spitzer’s trysts; his is an oldschool tale of big-city payback.

“Morning Glory”

This romantic comedy about a sunny, network morning show feels like ... well, a sunny, network morning show.

It’s glossy, moves quickly enough and has a few enjoyable personalities. Maybe the intermittent laugh. But afterward you realize it tried to cram a whole lot of vapid stuff into one compact time frame, and despite all the hard work that must have taken place behind the scenes, you haven’t really learned anything and you’re no better for having watched.

The hardest-working of all has got to be Rachel McAdams

as plucky, driven Becky Fuller, a young producer who has dreamed of working at the “Today” show since she was 8 years old. Instead, Becky is asked to help keep the fourthplace “Daybreak” alive. The network’s head of news (Jeff Goldblum) isn’t thrilled about hiring her, but no one else has stuck around for more than a year or so, so he decides to give her a shot. Director Roger Michell’s film, from a script by “The Devil Wears Prada” writer Aline Brosh McKenna, finds Becky navigating her prickly co-hosts (Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton) while trying to maintain a relationship with a fellow producer (Patrick Wilson). Trouble is, their connection never feels plausible and the two barely have any chemistry. The obligatory obstacle to their ultimate happiness comes out of nowhere, and when they do get back together (no big shocker there), it’s hard to care.

RATED: PG-13 for some sexual content including dialogue, language and brief drug references.

RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes.

“Unstoppable”

Finally, we’ve found the ideal use for Tony Scott’s hyperkinetic, headache-inducing filmmaking style: a m o v i e a b o u t a r u n a w a y t r a i n , b a r re l i n g t h ro u g h small Pennsylvania towns filled with hardworking, u n s u s p e c t i n g p e o p l e , a t 8 0 m p h . A n d t h re a t e n i n g schoolchildren. Oh, and the train is a half-mile long and it’s carrying hazardous material. Sounds insanely implausible, but that’s part of the fun: How many layers of danger can they pile on here? Scott starts slowly and steadily cranks up the tension, and given the escalating action, his trademark tricks make sense. The grainy camerawork and various exposures, the snap zooms and quick edits all enhance the incessant sense of motion. The train rumbles and growls, rattles and clangs, and we’re in the middle of it all — on the tracks, between the wheels, underneath and on top of the cars. It’s overwhelming — but in a good way. While the premise may sound crazy — or like something out of a star-studded ‘70s disaster movie — it really happened. Mark Bomback’s script is based on a 2001 incident in Ohio in which a train carrying hazardous cargo traveled 66 miles without a crew. But because this is a movie, the speeds are even faster, the danger is even greater, and there’s only one man who can stop it and save all those innocent lives: Denzel Washington. With some help from Chris Pine.

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

“Four Lions” proves hilarious

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press If the Three Stooges tried to carry out their own Islamic jihad, the results could not be funnier than “Four Lions,” director Chris Morris’ wonderfully absurdist nightmare about terrorist wannabes.

Unlike the Stooges’ slapstick, “Four Lions” comes with terribly real consequences as a group of phenomenally incompetent British Muslims aims to carry out a round of suicide bombings. This is a movie that will have you gasping in horror even as you choke on your own guffaws. It’s just that hysterical, often at the same moments when the film is at its most horrifying.

British TV veteran Morris, who shares screenwriting credit with Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, developed the idea from research into the buffoonish side of extremism: Terrorists who lose their train of thought while recording martyrdom videos, bombers aiming to blow up a warship with a boat that sinks under the weight of the explosives.

As deadly as terrorists can be, Morris found they also sometimes are just a “bunch of blokes,” as prone to petty bickering, posturing, whining and wavering as the rest of us. The blokes Morris presents are as clueless as most people would be if they set out to build homemade bombs and make a statement against the establishment.

Omar (Riz Ahmed) is in charge, not necessarily because of superior brain power but because he, unlike his accomplices, at least has some faint grasp of reality (if you recall Homer Simpson watching a Stooges episode and pronouncing, “Moe is their leader,” you’ll have a sense of the hierarchy in “Four Lions”).

Associated Press

In this film publicity image released by Drafthouse Films, from left, Nigel Lindsay, Kayvan Novak and Arsher Ali are shown in a scene from “Four Lions Challenging Omar at every turn is Islam convert Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a hilarious blowhard (“I am the most Al-Qaeda one here!”) who would be down the pub cursing about the shortcomings of the home football team if he weren’t plotting revolution. The lovably dopey Waj (Kayvan Novak) carries a talking “prayer bear” with him to jihadist training camp in Pakistan.

Shy, faltering Faisal (Adeel Akhtar)

straps explosives to crows in hopes they’ll fly them to the targets. Hip prankster Hassan (Arsher Ali) is a gangsta extremist, rapping against Western imperialism. This all could be deeply offensive to Muslims, yet Morris and his gifted actors make no statements about religion, customs or ideology. The glimpses we do get of Islamic culture show the realistic clash between strict orthodox Muslims and moderates slackened

by exposure to the West.

The filmmakers don’t even try to say that terrorists at large are stupid.

They simply aim to tell a story whose five main characters are stupid.

The stuff these guys say and do — from the motions they make to confound possible camera surveillance to tweaking “The Lion King” into a jihadist parable — makes “Four Lions” one of the funniest movies of the year.

It’s also one of the scariest and saddest, as something even funnier happens in “Four Lions.” As they approach their goal of sacrificing their lives in acts of mass murder, we cringe and wince and hope they’ll turn aside from their plot, not only because of the innocent lives they aim to take, but because we’ve actually come to care about these idiots, the way we care about Curly, Larry and Moe.

“Unstoppable” isn’t deep, but it is good

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Did we not get everything we needed from runaway train movies from “Silver Streak?” Or that tackedon ending to “Speed?” If you thought we had, you will miss out on the realistic, edge-of-your-seat excitement behind Tony Scott’s most recent project, “Unstoppable.”

Te a m i n g w i t h a u s u a l a c c o m p l i c e , D e n z e l Washington, Scott turns up the voltage for a gripping drama that was non-stop thrilling. It’s not a terribly complicated movie, this Unstoppable, but it’s surely an express ride of adrenaline.

Their differences are that one has been railroaded by an unfair system and the other has gotten a break, allegedly, because of his good family name. It leads to some initial friction, but these two are just some average, normal guys who happen to get roped into working together on one extraordinary day.

It really comes down to the actions of Frank and Will, acting on good intelligence from an attractive stationmaster (Rosario Dawson) and a roughneck welder (Lew Temple), to chase it down with their own locomotive, in reverse, to try and drag it to a stop.

Since this story is based on actual events, I looked it up. The names, location, and other details have all been fictionalized, but the fact that the train was flying like a missile, armed with toxic material (molten phenol, a component used in making glue and commercial adhesives), and heading for a heavily populated area is all true.

Movies School's almost out for Potter and pals LONDON (AP) — Saying goodbye to “Harry Potter” is turning into a slow fade-out for the cast and crew that worked on the franchise for a decade.

Shooting wrapped in June on the last two films, yet the work continues. Publicity and premieres for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” opening this week. Reshoots for some scenes on “Part 2” in December. More publicity when “Part 2,” the finale of the eight-film saga, arrives next July.

And, of course, the filmmakers still are busy finishing that final film.

“I’m in that weird in-between stage where it’s kind of over but kind of isn’t,” said Emma Watson, who plays brainy Hermione Granger opposite stalwart Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), the young wizard with a momentous destiny.

“I’ve kind of said goodbye, but not really. Even next summer, when the movie comes out, I feel like there still will be stuff that we have to get together for. ... I feel like it won’t really be over, but I’m trying to let go and process it and start trying to move on with my life a bit.”

T h e s t a r s a re n o w i n t h e i r early 20s but were raw children when they started. Radcliffe had a couple of film and TV credits before he was cast in the title role of 2001’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” while Grint and Watson had no professional acting experience.

A blockbuster film set essentially became their Hogwarts boarding school, where they learned how to act and forged student-mentor bonds with the series’ all-star list of British performers and eclectic roster of directors.

The last day of shooting was a bit like graduation day.

“There was something quite final about it,” Grint said. “I was surprised how emotional we all got, even me. We all cried, which I didn’t really expect. It’s been 10 years, and it all comes down to this, like, weird, random scene.

We ’ re a l l j u m p i n g t h ro u g h a fireplace.”

D a v i d H e y m a n , a p ro d u c e r on all eight films, said he’s approaching the end with a sense of both accomplishment and apprehension.

“I’ve always known for the last 10 years where my next film’s going to be. Now I don’t,” Heyman said. “It is like a family — many of us have worked together for 10 years — all going their separate

ways.”

David Yates has stuck with “Harry Potter” longer than any of the franchise’s three other directors, shooting the fifth and sixth films and the two-parter based on the last of J.K. Rowling’s series of fantasy novels.

Yates shares the mixed feelings his colleagues feel about putting “Potter” behind him seven or eight months from now.

“It’ll be done, and the responsibility will be lifted,” Yates said. “I’m going to be relieved when it’s done, but quite sad.”

Like executives at distributor Warner Bros., which has made billions off the franchise, producer David Barron wishes there were more “Potter” novels to film.

The budgets and scope of the stories, along with the free rein the studio gave the filmmakers, was unparalleled, Barron said.

“David Heyman and I have said often over the last couple years, ‘We better savor every moment of this, because we’ve never had it

FREE invisalign Consultation

so good, and we’ll never have it so good again,”’ said Barron, who has worked on six of the films.

The stars managed to fit in a few other roles around their “Potter” schedules and now are aiming to avoid the typecasting that has shackled actors in some franchises.

Radcliffe is shooting the supernatural thriller “The Woman in Black” and is doing his first musical next spring, a Broadway revival of “How to S u c c e e d i n B u s i n e s s Wi t h o u t Really Trying.”

He said his main limitation has not been typecasting but figuring out how to squeeze in other work around his day job as the world’s most famous wizard.

“It’s more the time thing, where people would phone up with fantastic roles or send great scripts, and we’d be going, ‘Fantastic.

Can you wait two years?’ And generally speaking, the answer is naturally and understandably, ‘No, we can’t.’ ... Absolutely, my time has become a lot more freed up now, which is exciting.”

The Edge Travel briefs New NYC pier opens with recreation facilities NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has a new pier that stretches 1,000 feet into the Hudson River.

A ribbon-cutting and grand opening will take place Thursday at Pier 25 at North Moore Street and West Street on the Hudson River.

Pier 25 and the adjacent area will form a new section of the Hudson River Park, with an 18-hole miniature golf course, snack bar, beach volleyball, playground, artifical turf lawn for junior level sports, loungechair seating with views of the harbor and Statue of Liberty. The adjoining upland section includes a basketball court, skatepark, lawns, and restrooms.

Pier 25 is just the latest attraction on the far West Side of Manhattan, which already attracts thousands of visitors with a bike path along the Hudson River Greenway and the High Line, a vertical park 30 feet up from street level, built on an abandoned elevated rail line.

Jewish museum completes new home in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) — After 34 years in cramped quarters but with big dreams, a new museum opening in the heart of the city’s historic district aims to tell for the first time the complete story of the Jewish experience in America.

Plans to expand the National Museum of American Jewish History were a decade in the making. A grand opening weekend kicks off with a Saturday night gala featuring Bette Midler and Jerry Seinfeld, and a Sunday dedication with Vice President Joe Biden as keynote speaker.

A series of special access days for museum members and funders are scheduled over the next two weeks before it opens to the general public on Nov. 26.

The 100,000 square-foot, five-story museum’s mission is to explore 350 years of Jewish life in the U.S., and highlights themes of freedom, civil rights, prejudice and assimilation. “We have in this country many Holocaust museums and memorials, so that chapter is one that we’ve told appropriately quite completely,� museum president Michael Rosenzweig said. “The chapter that we tell in this museum, however, is one that hasn’t been as well told.�

The striking terra-cotta and glass building is located steps from the National Constitution Center, Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

Rio de Janeiro Experiencing the beauty

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

Would I or wouldn’t I? That was my question for our whole South American trip and now that we were in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it was time to answer it. Our son Dan had been to Rio and couldn’t wipe the smile off his face when he went hang gliding there. From the time he heard about it my husband Bill knew that he would follow in our son’s glide path. He actually looked forward to it. And if they could do it, they thought I could.

I didn’t share their enthusiasm or their confidence. Even now, as I write about hang gliding, some of that sort of numb scared feeling comes back to me. And the omens at the time didn’t bode well either.

When we woke up on our first day in Rio, we saw a note left under our door that said we owed the hotel more money. Bill couldn’t find our movie camera. It looked like it was going to rain and I dreaded the possibility of going hang gliding. But then Bill found the camera. The bill was a mistake. The sun came out and I took the plunge.

As we signed up for our session, a woman about my age told me that hang gliding was magical, that she loved it and was sure I would. Before I could change my mind a driver picked us up and transported us up to the top of one of the highest cliffs in Rio. My greatest consolation was that experienced pilots actually handle the rig and we were called student pilots as we would ride in tandem. Marcos was my pilot and joked that he also

November 25, 2010

just became my best friend.

Marcos helped me into the gear that looked like x-ray protection pads.

Then he had me practice running. This is critical: you cannot hesitate. You must run down the incline and off the cliff. I watched a few others do it. No problems. “OK, ready?” “Just repeat the sequence to me one more time.”

“Hold here and here. Don’t touch here and here. Always look up. Run on the count of three and DON’T STOP!” We ran and then – we flew.

The winds carried the wing up even higher than the launch pad. I had been scared but not terrified. Marcos assured me that it was normal to be scared as he talked over the roar of the wind. Our side by side bodies became horizontal, parallel with the wing. I started to relax and then I understood the magical feeling, flying so much like a bird.

Below us we could see the azure blue ocean with white foaming surf, tufts of variegated green trees and the grey tops of skyscrapers at the shore. Marcos skillfully guided us back and forth in a gentle downward pattern. “That’s my house over there,” he said pointing to a huge mansion.

“No wait, that’s really my house,” as he pointed to an even larger one.

His entertainment in the sky had me laughing and enjoying the ride.

After about 15 minutes that seemed twice as long, Marcos lined us up on the beach used by all the gliders and we gently landed running until we were solidly back on the sand. And then someone moved our glider out of the way so we could watch Bill come in for his landing, just as smooth. Bill’s pilot told us that Bill is a natural and he even let him handle the controls at one point. Now Bill had a smile that he couldn’t wipe off his face. And I was smiling too.

After that everything got easy.

Easy, breezy in beautiful Rio de

Janeiro. Riding to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain in a gondola was so easy that lines of tourists continuously made the ascent. We joined the stream and shared the magnificent views of the blue ocean, the green mountains, boats like white dots in harbors and white buildings in clusters. To me Rio looks like a series of Sundaes with the syrup melted down off the tops. The syrup which looks mostly white with sprinkles is really many small, stacked dwellings called favelas. Here the poorer residents of the city live in the area considered unsafe for outsiders.

When Dan visited Rio he stayed in a youth hostel where another young man offered to accompany him to the favelas for $40. That amount bought him safe passage into the hillside homes guarded by men with machine guns who were not police.

Dan learned that these homes have running water and electricity as he saw televisions inside. People there sell their rooftops to others to build on top, hence the stacking. In the United States the hillsides would be considered prime locations but not in Rio. We did not follow Dan into the favelas.

So far on our South American trip we had been in Spanish speaking countries but the language of Brazil is Portuguese and there is a definite difference. Fortunately Rio is so geared to tourism that we could get by with sign language and few words.

Also fortunately at our Rio Othon Hotel our concierge spoke excellent English.

The next day our concierge recommended sightseeing at the Botanical Garden which we reached after taking a subway and a bus ride.

The garden was brimming with plants and trees but few flowers. As we strolled through the jungle-like growth we spied monkeys in trees overhead.

Shrieking at each other, they swung on vines like trapeze artists and slid down trees like firemen on poles.

With the monkeys, birds, lizards, this garden could double as a zoo.

The monkeys were nothing compared to the chubby, singing jogger who ran up to us and asked if we knew the time. Standing there in only red shorts, no shoes, no shirt, Sergio introduced himself. He made up in friendliness what he lacked in clothes. Realizing that we were Americans, he asked about our president and we asked him about his.

He described then President, highly regarded Lula da Silva, as a simple man appealing to the masses with food and football. A self-described musician, composer and writer, Sergio said he missed the culture of previous administrations. And then he was off, running and singing again.

The most well-known sight in Rio, maybe in all of South America, is the towering white statue of Christ the Redeemer on the mount called Corcovado. We reached the mountain after a short taxi ride from the garden and there we ascended by cog train to the base of the gigantic sculpture.

Looking up we saw the clean lines of the Cristo with outstretched arms as if encompassing all, all the people, all the city.

We happened to see the Cristo at a time it was being renovated so it was covered by scaffolding but the metal bracings gave the illusion of rays coming from the arms and hardly detracted. In a small chapel under the statue, a Mass was being said for an overflowing crowd. This sight was viewed with reverence.

All around the statue we walked on a terrace to look up at all sides of the Cristo. From that same vantage point we could also look out and down. Now we could see the whole city, the whole beautiful city. The natural beauty of the water, the beaches, the vegetation blended with the manmade beauty of terraces, buildings and boats. This was a sight to soak up and savor.

Having seen the main tourist attractions, not only of this city but also of a series of South American cities before it, we decided it was time for a beach break. There is no better place to spend a day at the beach than Rio. Our hotel was right across the street from the famous Copacabana Beach and that’s where we pitched our umbrella.

We must have said “Wow” more than a hundred times as we marveled at the 12-foot high waves. Danger signs with red flags were posted to let us know it was unsafe to go in the water. But the beach was still full of sun bathers who also contributed to the “Wow” factor. While Argentine women tend to be slender, Brazilian woman tend to be curvy. Brazil can boast not only beautiful beaches but also beautiful bodies in very small swim suits.

We had noted the strong European influence in Argentina and Chile. In Brazil, which had black slavery in sugar plantations in the past, there is also an African influence and now a more multi-cultural society. The food is very similar to that in Argentina with emphasis on meat. In Rio we had found a restaurant near our hotel that gave a choice of a fixed price for a whole meal or per item pricing. The manager suggested the first option for Bill and the second for me. For our final special dinner we both splurged on the whole meal at a Brazilian grille with a variety of meats graciously served on skewers at our table to the accompaniment of Latin music.

Full to the brim with sights, sounds and food, we walked along the mosaic walkway next to the beach back to our hotel. We felt the vitality; we saw the beauty. From the wing of a hang glider, from the tops of Sugarloaf and Corcovado, from gardens and beaches, we found a city of unmatched natural beauty. What a high note to end on!

Carlinville Celebrating an All-American Christmas

By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

A

bout 40 miles north of Edwardsville is a small town with a lot of heart. Carlinville is a nice town that is the center of Americana and is host to a wonder holiday annual event, Carlinville’s Christmas Market.

For about the last 20 years, the town has hosted the annual market on its historic town square. Approximately 10,000 visitors now attend the event. The festival always takes place the first weekend in December, which this year is Friday, Dec. 3, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 4, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 5, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There are two heated arts and crafts tents, one on the east and one on the west side of the square.

Admission to the arts and crafts tents is $1 per adult.

“Some years back, we had just one tent,” said Jodie Padgett, chair of the exhibitor committee for the market. “But we chose to split it (arts and crafts exhibitors) into two (tents) and put them on opposite sides of the square so people are encouraged to visit our Carlinville shops on all four sides of the square. That’s our arrangement again this year.”

There are several unique and interesting exhibitors showing their wares throughout the market weekend.

“We have some new exhibitors for 2010, including Carlinville resident Diane Hardy’s jewelry

designs, Deborah Murphy Fine Arts, Nancy Scharfenberg’s handpainted glass ornaments, George King’s hand-painted bird houses and accessories, Hillside Pottery’s funky-fun designs and Lizzy Sam Bows’ apparel and accessories,” said Padgett. “And there are a lot of favorites that we bring back, such as John Eberhardt, who is nationally known for his Ducks Unlimited paintings and Cabela’s catalog covers. We have a man who sells those delicious cinnamon roasted pecans and almonds in the paper cones. We have lots of jewelry exhibitors, Christmas decorations, wood crafters, pottery, soaps, and candles and of course, the fudge and winery booths that offer free samples.”

There will be a lot of entertainment throughout the weekend. The Methodist Church will host the popular Hand Bell Choir performance on Friday night, followed by The Prairie Sound quartet. The Sound Celebration Chorus, the Springfield chapter of the nationally known Sweet Adalines. Attendees who stay around Sunday evening will be treated to a candlelight Christmas concert performed by the Blackburn College choir in Clegg Chapel on the Blackburn campus, beginning at 8 p.m.

The heart of the Christmas Market is the historic Carlinville town square with its distinctive b ri ck -l in ed roundabout along with the central centerpiece of the gazebo. Stroll the square and browse the local merchants for free and there is ample parking just off the square. There will be strolling musicians and magicians that

will wind their way throughout the tents and the square. The merchants and restaurants throughout the square and beyond have decked the halls to make sure to continue the special feel and will offer a number of specials and unique events.

Although the “square” is the center of attraction, there are a number of worthy things going on beyond the “square” borders.

Several churches within a block o r t w o a re p l a n n i n g l o w - c o s t activities for children during the day, food and refreshments, and afternoon and evening concerts.

Other nearby shops with gift ideas, furniture, knickknacks, antiques, original art, framing

and jewelry, among other things are must-visit destinations.

A n o t h e r g re a t o p t i o n i s t h e Red Trolley-Car Tour. The best way to see the rest of Carlinville is to take a free, narrated tour on the red, Victorian-era trolley. The trolley provides transportation and a history lesson at the same time. A round trip typically takes 30 minutes. Visitors can get off at any one of the several stops and then re-board later to continue to tour.

One trolley stop is the Vi c t o r i a n - e r a v i l l a g e o n t h e grounds of the Anderson Mansion. The restored “lady” is the headquarters for the Macoupin County Historical

Society. The mansion’s 13 rooms a re d e c o r a t e d f o r t h e s e a s o n .

Don’t forget to visit the Red Barn for a serving of tasty sandwiches, soups and desserts.

This Christmas event is one o f a k i n d a n d i s s u re t o g e t everyone in the Christmas spirit.

The town of Carlinville rolls out the red carpet and ushers the season in right. The beautiful ice sculptures that are placed around the square are also a must see.

“My first and favorite is a pumpkin white chocolate trifle. I’ve made it a lot recently, and everyone loves it. The best part, its super easy and inexpensive so anyone can make it. It’s great for the holidays as well.

I wanted to make sure to offer recipes that everyone could afford and could make in their own homes without a skilled chef or cook looking over their shoulder. Nobody

likes the lingering threat of food failure lurking over their head when they are trying to create 10 other items for the holiday dinner table. You can do this recipe a day or even two ahead. It holds well.”

White Chocolate Pumpkin Trifle Pumpkin Sponge Cake: 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 2/3 c. pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease sheet pan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour paper.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin.

Stir in flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan.

White Chocolate Mousse: 1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened 1-1/4 cups cold milk, divided 1 pkg. (3.3 oz.) Jell-O White Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding 1-1/2 cups thawed whipped topping “Yes, I got this white chocolate recipe from a box of Jell-O pudding, why you ask, I didn’t have time to make real mousse and this was so much cheaper. I also didn’t have to worry about it holding up if the room got warm. Thank you Jell-O!”

New twists on spices for the holidays f l a v o r, t r y c h i p o t l e p e p p e r s , which are actually dried, smoked jalapeno peppers. Their smokysweet flavor is often used in Southwestern and Mexican dishes.

Add a dash to liven up everything from chili to barbecued fare.

• Freshly ground black pepper is popular in a wide variety of foods, works well in combination with other herbs and spices and is commonly found in spice blends.

To change things up, try using Sichuan (Szechuan) pepper instead of black pepper to add an exotic twist to recipes. Gourmet Sichuan pepper is grown in China and offers an unusual, pungent flavor that begins as warm and lemon-like with woodsy overtones and finishes with a more intense bite. It intensifies the flavor of fish, poultry, cheese and vegetables.

• You've probably been using vanilla extract to flavor all kinds of desserts, beverages and other dishes. One way to ramp up the flavor is to switch to vanilla beans instead of using the liquid extract. Simply substitute one vanilla bean for each teaspoon of extract, cooking it with the liquid used in the recipe and then removing it. The most common type of vanilla, Bourbon vanilla beans, are grown in Madagascar and are very aromatic with a full, rich taste. But to bump up the flavor, try Papua New Guinea vanilla beans, cultivated in the lowlands of the Pacific Basin.

They have a fruitier taste than that of the Bourbon beans, with some notes of cherry that add

(ARA) - The arrival of the cooler weather means different things to many different people - football season, the vibrant colors of the changing leaves, hot chocolate, snuggly sweaters and a vast array of festive flavors that reinvigorate cooking and baking routines.

Surprisingly, these seasonal comfort foods don't have to wreak havoc on your waistline.

Many of this season's hottest flavors are naturally low in calories, and even offer essential vitamins, minerals and fiber to help you take small steps towards healthier eating while enjoying the foods you love.

"Many Americans face the challenges of eating healthy all year, but maintaining motivation during the winter months is particularly hard," says Hope

a deep, long-lasting flavor to ice creams, frosting and many beverages.

• Nutmeg is the dried seed o f t h e f r u i t o f a n e v e rg re e n tree, which most often comes in ground form. However, nutmeg, like many spices, loses both flavor and aroma after it is ground.

Instead, buy whole nutmeg and grind it yourself using a special nutmeg grater or a fine grater, producing a more robust and fresh flavor. Warm and sweet, nutmeg adds depth to desserts, cheeses, savory dishes and a variety of vegetables. Don't forget to sprinkle it on eggnog, mulled wines and punches. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are delicious with a light dusting of nutmeg, too.

Super side dishes for the holidays NEW YORK (AP) –Here’s a good excuse to banish marshmallows from your Thanksgiving repertoire.

We ’ v e p a r t n e r e d t h e r i c h l y s w e e t taste of mashed sweet potatoes with the savory, salty flavor of browned sausage and onions. The result is a savory and satisfying take on a dish that too often ends up cloying and heavy.

If you’d rather keep the meat and the potatoes separate, consider cooking and mashing the sweet potatoes on their own, then spooning them into a shallow s e r v i n g d i s h . T h e b ro w n e d m e a t a n d onions then can be spread over the sweet potatoes.

SAUSAGE AND SWEET POTATO SMASH Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 10 4 l a rg e s w e e t p o t a t o e s , p e e l e d a n d quartered 1-pound package sausage meat 1 large yellow onion, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves Salt and ground black pepper, to taste Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 25 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage meat, breaking it up as it cooks.

Drain off any excess oil, then add the onion and continue cooking until the onion is soft and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the thyme.

When the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them well and add to the sausage mixture. Smash them together and season with salt and pepper.

••• This new take on the traditional potato a u gratin mixes things up by adding celeriac and apples to the creamy potato dish.

Celeriac is the root of the celery plant and has a distinctive celery flavor with a carrot-like texture. It is important to make sure the slices of potato and celeriac are cut to the same thickness to ensure even cooking. A mandoline is the easiest way to get uniformly thin slices.

POTATO, CELERIAC AND APPLE AU GRATIN Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 10 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 4 cups whole milk 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided Salt and ground white pepper, to taste 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1 large celeriac root, peeled quartered and thinly sliced 3 green apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. A little at a time, whisk in the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the mustard.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted. Season the sauce with salt and white pepper.

Fill a second large saucepan with the potatoes, then add enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the water and transfer to a plate. Add the celeriac slices to the water and cook for 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the celeriac from the water and transfer to a plate Heat the oven to 350 F. In a large casserole dish, arrange an even layer of potato slices over the bottom. Top the potatoes with several spoons of cheese sauce. Add a layer of celeriac, followed by a few spoons of cheese sauce. Finally add a layer of apples, followed by a bit more cheese sauce.

Continue this layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of cheese sauce. Top this with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the p o t a t o e s a n d c e l e r i a c a re t e n d e r a n d cooked through when pierced with a knife.

If the cheese on top begins to brown too much, cover the casserole with foil.

Braise veggies for added flavor NEW YORK (AP) – Vegetable sides can be the most virtuous players in the pageantry of the Thanksgiving meal, but only if they’re cooked and finished the right way.

After all, veggies are low in calories and fat until you add lots of calories and fat to them. Which is easy to do with many traditional sides.

The traditional creamy green bean casserole, for example, usually sports tons of butter and is topped with greasy fried onions.

The trick is to prepare the vegetables in a way that keeps them flavorful and satisfying without adding tons of fat.

For this, you need moisture.

Trim a thin slice off the bottom of each bulb and pull off any outer layers of the bulb that are discolored. Stand the bulbs on end and slice into 1/4-inch slices.

In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, combine the butter and oil and heat until the butter melts. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and sliced fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel begins to wilt, about 5 minutes more.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, turning the slices occasionally, until the broth has cooked away and the fennel is just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. If the liquid evaporates before the fennel is cooked, add a little water. Season with salt and pepper.

To get you there, this recipe uses a rich sauce made from sour cream. It is flavored with tarragon, shallots and a touch of white wine vinegar.

For extra creaminess, it also uses sour cream as a base. Just be sure not to boil the corn, as the sour cream will separate.

If fresh chervil is unavailable, use fresh parsley.

The Holidays

Holiday shopping battle gets under way NEW YORK (AP) From free shipping from Wal-Mart to Sears stores open on Thanksgiving for the first time, the battle for holiday shoppers’ dollars has begun in earnest.

The early competition to break through shoppers’ caution about spending promises savings for those willing to buy amid an economy that’s still worrying many. It also promises convenience. Retailers are offering deals anytime, anywhere their customers want, through websites, smart phones and Facebook.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that typically kicks off holiday shopping, is not only being marketed as “Black Friday week,” but for a growing number of stores, “Black Friday month.”

As for Thanksgiving, some retailers like Sears and Gap’s Old Navy hope shoppers will head to stores after they finish their turkey feasts. On the Web, Kohl’s Corp. and Target Corp. are among many merchants dramatically stepping up deals that day, counting on that holiday to be one of the busiest days of the year online.

“Everything is faster and sooner,” said Dan Grandpre, editor-in-chief of Dealnews.com, which opened an office in Dublin, Ireland, a few months ago to monitor the frenetic pace of offers, particularly during the holidays. Dealnews is based in Huntsville, Ala. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is clearly going for the jugular in the holiday re t a i l i n g f i g h t . I t a n n o u n c e d Thursday that it will offer free shipping on nearly 60,000 online items — with no minimum purchase requirement. The offer, which includes most electronics, jewelry and toys, will run through Dec. 20.

Return shipping is also free, or items can be returned to a local store.

Wal-Mart’s free offer comes on top of similarly aggressive free shipping programs from Target and J.C. Penney. Wal-Mart’s deal adds to the discounter’s Site to Store program, which lets customers buy an item online and have it shipped free to their local Walmart store for pickup.

Walmart.com is even testing a service at nearly 800 stores that lets customers see inventory and purchase products right from home.

The online orders are usually ready to be picked up at a store within four hours.

That concept isn’t new, but many stores are joining Walmart in trying to speed up the turnaround time, says Noam Paransky, retail strategist at Kurt Salmon Associates.

“Retailers are trying to be in front of customers 24/7,” Paransky said.

With the wider adoption of smart phones, “it’s exploding this year.”

Facebook.com recently launched its Deals program, teaming up with a number of stores including Penney and Gap Inc. The offering allows

November 25, 2010

shoppers to “check in” using smart phones to these shops and reap rewards or discounts.

The intense marketing is happening in a season in which shoppers are expected to spend only a little more than last year.

Unemployment is still stuck close to 10 percent, and consumer confidence has been anemic for months and months.

The National Retail Federation expects a 2.3 percent increase in spending to $447.1 billion. That would fall short of the 10-year historic average of 2.5 percent, according to the retail trade group.

Online, the prospects are brighter.

Online research firm comScore Inc. expects anywhere from 7 to 9 percent growth compared with a year ago, when business was up 4 percent over the previous year, according to its calculations. About 10 percent of holiday sales are made online, according to Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru.

“You clearly have a consumer who

is restrained. So you have this drive to encourage consumers to spend,” Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s president and CEO, said in an interview with The Associated Press. But a bigger factor is “retailers have to move with the consumer, and the consumer wants ultimately flexibility of buying. You have to move with her.”

Against this background, the holiday deals have come in rapid-fire succession. In the past 24 hours, Best Buy Co. announced it’s discounting a number of its electronics items this Friday and Saturday. For example, it has a 40-inch LCD HDTV for $399.99.

Retailer Kmart said it’s letting customers who buy items online pick up purchases on the same day at more than 600 locations. The retailer, owned by Sears Holdings Corp., also announced customers can now buy items through the Kmart2go mobile web site or smart phone applications and select in-store pickup. The apps also can be used in-store for product information.

The Holidays Riding out the financial storm this season

By KRISTA WILKINSON For The Edge The recession may be “officially” over but most people are still feeling the pinch.

Financial analysts are predicting the recovery will be slow with some fearing the worst is still yet to come in the form of a dreaded “double dip” recession.

That doesn’t make for cheerful news just as we’re about to enter the holiday season and people are preparing to spend their hard earned dollars on pricey foods, drinks and gifts.

Nevertheless, local businesses are continuing to weather the financial storm by offering more than just products on a shelf – their years of experience, advice and expertise all wrapped up in outstanding customer service.

“It’s a constant effort of listening to your customers and watching what they’re buying.

Our economy is definitely not a perfect environment yet, but we’re noticing an upward trend in sales,” said Jay Blanquart, President of J. Blanquart Jewelers in Edwardsville a n d c u r re n t P re s i d e n t o f t h e Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce.

Blanquart is optimistic that the toughest times are behind us and this Christmas will be far better than last.

“My prediction is that our sales will be double what we did last year,” he said.

To ensure sales do continue to rise, the jewelry store has responded to the changing needs of its customers by introducing new designer lines that feature high-end sterling silver fashion pieces better suited to today’s frugal consumer in addition to its regular assortment of fine jewelry.

Blanquart also said the store has plans for a big move next February to its new home in the upscale Park Plaza development in downtown Edwardsville, next to CVS pharmacy.

To mark the occasion, Blanquart said the store is having a moving sale with many pieces of jewelry up to 70 percent off. The sale kicked off earlier this month and will continue through December.

Across the road Hudson Jewelers, which has served the metro east since 1944, has also seen the jewelry industry’s silver lining.

Company President John Hudson said the store recently launched ELLE Jewelry, a new collection of high fashion quality sterling silver jewelry, which is likely to be a hit with customers this Christmas.

“We’re investing in fabulous designer lines that are economical.

These are cutting edge and very current for a fraction of the price,” said Hudson. “We’re bringing reasonable, affordable fashion to the Edwardsville area.”

November 25, 2010

Local toy retailer Once Upon a Toy has also felt the financial strain, but rallied impressively with a clever and fun way to make the most out of a difficult situation.

“It has been a really hard couple of years,” said owner Shawntá Ray. “We’ve been doing alternative things such as big family game nights at local schools. We go in with up to 15 games, and the idea is to stay and play. We’ve had really great success with that.”

According to Ray, there’s no charge for the event and they don’t even take extra games to sell.

The schools take care of the logistics of putting the event together while Ray and her team focus on keeping the night running smoothly with creative games and lots of good old fashioned playtime.

The idea is to get involved in the community, engage kids and their parents and have a lot of fun doing it. Ray said approximately 400 people attended a recent game night at Alton Middle School.

And if a few of those kids and t h e i r p a re n t s decide to come looking for Once Upon a Toy to buy the game they played, then that’s just the icing on the cake.

“I feel that I’ve worked harder this year than I’ve ever worked,” she said.

It’s easy to assume that when times are tight, consumers give up their little luxuries like fine food and wine in favor of more austere choices.

However, local wine merchant Crushed Grapes Ltd., which is

owned by Len and Arlene Scaturro, hasn’t seen too much of a decline in business over the last couple of years.

Apparently, people aren’t quite ready to sacrifice their favorite glass of merlot. Instead, they take their finances into consideration

and adjust accordingly.

“People move down in their price points. Instead of buying in the $20 to $30 range, they’re buying in the $12 to $17 range,” said Crushed Grapes’ Jim Coode.

“We were well-positioned because we’re always on the lookout for

wines in the $10 to $15 range.”

Coode said the store is doing really well and is expecting it to be a good Christmas. According to Coode, the store is starting to see customers choosing the higher end wines and beers again.

“It’s turning around,” he said.
