Mary Arth, 10, shows off some of the sweet creations she has made.

Beyond the Easy-Bake Oven By STEVE HORRELL Of The Edge

en-year-old Mary Arth may be the best cupcake baker you’ve never heard of.

Unless, of course, you were at last month’s Leclaire Parkfest and bought one of the 500 cupcakes she whipped up and sold there, like the pumpkin spice, topped with cream cheese and candy pecans, and the chocolate, chocolate chip with vanilla icing sprinkled with chocolate chips. Or the lemon supreme. There was even one that resembled a glass of lemonade, so realistic that a boy wandered over and wanted a sip. “His mom was like, ‘It’s a cupcake!’ It’s not lemonade!” says Mary’s mother, Mika Arth. Then there was the peanut butter and jelly cupcake. “It sounds kind of weird, but when people tried it, they really loved it,” Mary Arth says. “They would say, ‘This is weird, but it’s very good!” To create it, Arth had to insert peanut butter into white cake and top it with a peanut butter cream cheese frosting and strawberry jelly. Mika says that, early on, they suspected that a peanut butter cupcake might be a bit overwhelming. In fact, not until the third attempt - when they eased off on the peanut butter - did the peanut butter cream cheese frosting became smooth and edible.

December 16, 2010

Local 10-year-old is the queen of cupcakes At Leclaire Parkfest, it was the cupcake that drew the highest praise. N o n e o f t h o s e a re M a r y ’ s f a v o r i t e , though. “I would say it’s chocolate lava,” she says, referring to a chocolate cake with a chocolate fudge filling, sprinkled with dark and milk chocolate shavings. So far, her orders are mostly limited to family and friends. But at the Leclaire Parkfest she sold cupcakes for $1.75 to $2 and was able to clear $410. She has every intention of turning her passion it into a business, and even now she has a goal: making enough money to buy a car. Not long ago, she took leftover cupcakes to Columbus School, where she is a fifth grader. She passed them out at the lunch tables. “They tried them and they were like, ‘Mary, these are so good!’ and they’re like ‘Can I please have your number?” she said. “I heard from three people who were like, ‘You are totally doing my birthday party!’” There are three places that she bakes: at her home in Edwardsville; at the expansive kitchen at her grandmother, Linda Terry’s house; and at the smaller downstairs kitchen at her grandmother ’s. Mary Arth’s love for cooking can be traced back to her grandmother. In recent years, Linda Terry’s daughters and sisters have helped her with Terryfic Affairs, a

party decorating business that she runs out of her home. One day when she was in high school, Terry was stopped at a stop sign when a Mercedes pulled alongside. It was beautiful, and she made up her mind that one day she would have one. Fastforward to age 40. Terry decided that, in order to finally get the car, she wouldn’t pay herself for her work at Terryfic Affairs for 10 years but instead would set the money aside. “I wanted to prove to my daughters that anything is possible,” she says. When she turned 50, Terry went to the dealership and bought the car, paying for half of it with the cash she had saved. “He handed me the keys, and I saw it was a Mercedes and I started to cry,” she recalls. “I said, ‘I’m so sorry, you don’t know what this means to me.’ He said, ‘No, No. It’s nice to see somebody get that emotional.” A week later, she was diagnosed with cancer. Linda Terry parked the car in the garage and began dealing with the disease. That was 12 years ago. “Happy ending,” she says. Terry’s grandmother was Sicilian. During an interview at her house recently, Terry walks over to the hallway and returns with a framed picture showing a stern-faced woman who went by the name of “Miss

Mary.” A good-hearted woman, Terry says. “People would come and say ‘Miss Mary, would you loan me a little money?’ So I started calling Mary “Miss Mary.” Terry says that her father had wanted to have his own business, although it never came about. She had wanted to run Terryfic Affairs as a storefront business, but wound up running it out of her home instead. The current “Miss Mary” is beginning a fourth generation of bakers. “As young as she is, there’s no doubt in my mind that she’ll have her own place, and she’ll do very well with it,” Terry says. Mika Arth says that her daughter has been baking for as long as she can remember. While she was working evenings, her husband, Tim, and Mary would go to the kitchen and cook something up for dinner. Today, it’s mostly grandmother, mother and daughter baking together. “I always had a thing for baking and cooking,” Mary says. “It’s like really cool learning new recipes and tasting them. I just have a thing for it.” She starts her day watching the Food Network. Lately, she’s been working on perfecting her icing technique, trying to nail the perfect swirl. The three are always looking for new cupcake recipes. She said, “We just tried a mint chocolate chip that got really good reviews.”

People People planner Botanical Garden looks toward 2011 The Missouri Botanical Garden is celebrating the United Nations (U.N.) International Year of Forests in 2011 with a TREEmendous! year of activities highlighting the real value of trees and the critical role they play in our lives. Experience an exhibition of non-traditional tree houses, take part in a communitywide tree hunt, celebrate National Arbor Day with a weekend treethemed festival and more. Visit www.mobot.org/treemendous for more information. The Missouri Botanical Garden’s 79 acres are home to more than 5,300 trees, representing over 580 tree species. Some are noteworthy for their size – the Missouri-native western soapberry (Sapindus drummondii), possumhaw (Ilex decidua) and white basswood (Tilia heterophylla) trees at the Garden all hold records as Missouri State Champion Trees, and the white basswood is listed on the American Forests® National Register of Big Trees. Some are noteworthy for their history – a handful of bald cypress trees (Taxodium distichum) and Osage orange trees (Maclura pomifera) date back to the lifetime of Garden founder Henry Shaw, and an unusual golden larch (Pseudolarix amabilis) traces its roots back to the 1904 World’s Fair. Still others are noteworthy for their characteristics, such as the huge Scotch elm (Ulmus glabra) near Tower Grove House, with its gnarled trunk and branches so large and heavy that they need support wires, or the towering “living fossil” dawn redwood trees (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). Regardless of their individual distinctions, all trees have one core commonality: they are vital to human life on Earth. “Trees play an incredibly valuable role in our lives,” said Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, president of the Missouri Botanical Garden. “Not only do they provide the basis for some of the most important ecosystems on Earth, but they also provide so many of the resources we need for life. They transform the sun’s energy into carbohydrates; they absorb and store carbon dioxide, helping to combat climate change and give us the oxygen we need to breathe. They provide us with timber, food, fibers, medicines, shelter and a multitude of other goods essential for life. During a year when the U.N. is raising awareness about the critical importance of conservation and sustainable development of forests, it is appropriate that the Missouri Botanical Garden also highlights the importance of trees and forests and the threats they face, as well as pays homage to the many wonderful trees conserved in our own backyard.” Explore the significance of trees and their part in a healthy planet while enjoying the creativity and

December 16, 2010

talent of the local community. From Saturday, Apr. 30 through Sunday, Aug. 21, the TREEmendous! Extreme Tree Houses exhibition branches out from the ordinary notion of tree houses with non-traditional, ground-level structures that ponder the concepts of sustainability, exploration and play in the outdoors, reconnecting children and nature, accessibility, color, natureinspired design, fantasy and habitats as homes. Look for each tree house displayed near or beneath the canopy of some of the Missouri Botanical Garden’s significant trees, including oak, tulip, elm, sweet gum, ginkgo, sycamore, Osage orange and walnut trees. Each structure on public display is the winner of a juried design competition open to local designers, architects, schools, studios and individuals. T h e E x t r e m e Tr e e H o u s e s exhibition kicks off with the TREEmendous! Forest Festival, Saturday and Sunday, Apr. 30 and May 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 pm. both days. Celebrate National Arbor Day by experiencing and learning about the Missouri Botanical Garden’s historic, state champion and other significant trees. The weekend is full of expert-led tree tours, tree care demonstration clinics, hands-on workshops and other festivities. T h re e m o re T R E E m e n d o u s ! activities kick off with the state of Missouri’s celebration of Arbor Day on Friday, Apr. 1. Starting at 9 a.m. while supplies last, the Kemper Center for Home Gardening will be giving away 500 free tree saplings, one per person, as part of their annual Arbor Day tree giveaway.

Opening on Friday, Apr. 1, visit the TREEmendous! Interactive Discovery Center to enjoy treethemed, hands-on learning for all ages. Create artwork out of tree parts, share your favorite tree stories, test your tree IQ, dress up as a tree and experience what life is like in a forest canopy. Families are encouraged to drop in anytime from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through Jan. 3, 2012. Explore the terrific trees of the St. Louis community with the TREEmendous! Great St. Louis Tree Hunt, Friday, Apr. 1 through Friday,

Sept. 30. Search the great outdoors for 20 marked TREEmendous Trees throughout the Missouri and Illinois metro St. Louis region. Download an area guide, clue map and photo journal at www.mobot. org/treemendous. Explore the region with family and friends in search of each tree, document your findings and bring the completed guide to the Missouri Botanical Garden’s TREEmendous! Interactive Discovery Center to receive a special tree-themed reward. All TREEmendous! activities are included with Missouri Botanical

Garden admission of $8 for adults and are free for children ages 12 and under.

People People planner Alton ready for eagle watchers It’s time to hop in the car and follow Mother Nature’s Highway to Alton this winter for an eagle watching adventure. Every January, experts anticipate nearly 1,000 American Bald Eagles will migrate to the region, many reclaiming their winter nests along the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway from Alton to Grafton and Pere Marquette State Park. With the help of the Alton Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau’s 2011 Eagle Watcher’s Guide, visitors can plan their own eagle watching adventure and take part in numerous eagle watching events and tours happening throughout the region. New this year, the recently opened Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower will offer visitors new eagle viewing opportunities. Eagle watching has been an attraction for the last decade all around Alton, and every year new attractions and events enrich the experience for visitors wishing to catch a glimpse of these magnificent birds. In May 2010, the new Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower opened in Hartford, Il., offering panoramic views of the

December 16, 2010

confluence of the Missouri & Mississippi rivers from platforms at 50, 100 and 150 feet. These same viewing platforms will yield a new perspective for visitors wishing to see eagles in flight. In addition, the Tower will feature an “Eagles Over the Confluence” event every Saturday & Sunday from January 8, 2011 through February 20, 2011, with featured activities each week including artisans, kid’s crafts, photography workshops and more. For more details, go to www.ConfluenceTower.com. Back again this year, visitors can take part in a little Eagle Caching as they head out to visit the various “Eagle Watching Hot Spots” featured in the 2011 Eagle Watcher’s Guide. Within the guide, information can be found about the caches and clues on where to find them. Like geocaching, each cache has a set of coordinates that are plugged into the GPS navigator and used by the explorer to search for the treasure. All the information needed, including the clues, coordinates and GPS rentals, can be found at www.VisitAlton.com/ EagleCaching, or by visiting the Alton Visitor’s Center at 200 Piasa St. in Downtown Alton.

Visitors can head out to view the eagles on their own or take part in some of the traditional eagle watching events in the region, including eagle meet & greets, eagle watching tours and live bird demonstrations. Events take place nearly every weekend and throughout the week, from January through March. Plus, most of the events in the region are free of charge. A full list of events can be found online at www.VisitAlton.com and in the Eagle Watcher’s Guide. For visitors wishing to make eagle watching a winter getaway, there are numerous eagle packages and specials available at hotels and bed & breakfast inns in Alton, Grafton and Elsah. Alton, Illinois is the #1 destination for eagle watching in the St. Louis region. It is the place to be for the best eagle events and the largest concentration of American Bald Eagles in the state of Illinois. Every day is a great day to plan on making your escape this winter to see the eagles in Alton. For the latest eagle watching updates or to receive your free Eagle Watchers Guide, call 1-800-ALTON-IL or go to www. VisitAlton.com.

Chamber Chorus plans Christmas Concert The Saint Louis Chamber Chorus continues its 55th season with its annual Christmas concert titled “Traditions: Christmas From Ancient to Modern.” The program compares ancient and modern arrangements of Latin, English and German carols and features two world premieres. “Traditions: Christmas From Ancient to Modern” will be presented at 3 p.m. on Dec. 19. In recognition of the concert’s venue, the Chamber Chorus will sing various arrangements of Martin Luther ’s poem “Vom Himmel Hoch,” originally written for his own children. Australian Clare Maclean, the Chorus’s composer-in-residence, offers a newly commissioned piece employing Luther’s original German words, while Britain’s David Bednall sets the entire poem in English. A much earlier Scottish translation of Luther’s words will also be sung, with the audience having the opportunity to compare the 16th century version with one featuring rich harmonies added by Missouri-born composer, Virgil Thomson. The other world premiere on the program, Russian Yakov Gubanov’s “The Garden of Roses,” is part of an exploration of how the image of a rose has often been applied to Jesus. Fellow Russian Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, German Michael Praetorius and England’s Herbert Howells also contribute works to this musical examination.

Music Tuning in Music of the Baroque makes holiday plans Chicago's Music of the Baroque’s first concerts of the new year feature music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Leopold Mozart, and Haydn. Londoner Jane Glover leads the orchestra in two of Haydn’s “London” symphonies, Nos. 102 and 104. Principal bassoon William Buchman will be heard in the Mozart bassoon concerto, and coprincipal trumpet Barbara Butler in his father Leopold Mozart’s trumpet concerto. Performances are Sunday evening, January 23, at First United Methodist Church in Evanston, and Monday evening, January 24, at the Harris

Theater. A second program showcasing the principal players of the Music of the Baroque orchestra follows in mid-March. Nicholas Kraemer leads three of J. S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, Nos. 3, 4, and 6, as well as a triple violin concerto from volume two of Tafelmusik by Georg Philipp Telemann, and music by Georg Muffat. These concerts, scored for intimate forces, take place Sunday evening, March 13, at First United Methodist Church in Evanston, and Monday evening, March 14, at the Harris Theater. Handel’s Messiah to be performed during Lent Jane Glover returns in April to lead the Music of the Baroque orchestra, chorus, and soloists in

her first-ever performances with the ensemble of Handel’s Messiah— originally composed for performance during Lent, and arguably the most beloved work in the choral repertoire. Soprano Elizabeth Futral, mezzo-soprano Catherine WynRogers, tenor John McVeigh, and baritone Christòpheren Nomura are

the featured soloists. Performances of Messiah are Friday evening, April 15, at the Harris Theater, and Sunday afternoon, April 17, at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie.

Church financier sentenced in Indiana SULLIVAN, Ind. (AP) — A judge sentenced a church financier to 54 years in prison Tuesday for pocketing millions of dollars that investors believed would be used to build churches. Special Judge Dena Martin ordered former pastor Vaughn Reeves to serve consecutive sixyear terms for each of nine fraud counts, in a scheme that cost about 2,900 investors $13.1 million. Among aggravating factors, Martin found Reeves targeted people over age 65 and used religion to influence them. Reeves’ attorney plans to appeal. Investigators said Reeves, 66, and his three sons used their nowdefunct company, Alanar, and sales pitches that included prayers and Bible passages to dupe about 11,000 investors into buying bonds worth $120 million secured by mortgages on construction projects at about 150 churches. Instead, Reeves and his sons diverted money from new investments to pay off previous investors, pocketing $6 million and buying two airplanes, sports cars and vacations.

Prosecutors pointed to the case as a prime example of affinity fraud, in which scammers prey on people who share a common interest, such as religious affiliation, ethnicity or age.

Alaska store owner, atheist says wooden cross unwelcome act of vandalism

Judge won’t budge on dismissal of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator

SOLDOTNA, Alaska (AP) — A store owner says a wooden cross wrapped to the store sign in Soldotna was an unwelcome act

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge refused to change her earlier ruling dismissing a lawsuit filed by Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols over his prison diet. Nichols is serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Colorado for his role in the 1995 bombing of the federal building that killed 168 people. He had alleged religious discrimination because the prison won’t give him high-fiber whole foods that he says he needs as a Christian. U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello dismissed his lawsuit in August, but Nichols challenged that. Arguello affirmed her ruling last week. She says Nichols can’t claim religious discrimination over the nutritional content of his meals and that the right to practice one’s religion while in prison isn’t absolute.

of vandalism that goes against her pagan and spiritual beliefs. Rondell Gonzalez arrived last week at her store, the Pye’ Wackets on the Kenai Spur Highway, and found a makeshift cross about 7 feet tall attached to her business sign with plastic food wrap. Gonzalez, 45, said she believes in spiritualism rather than organized religion.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”

Fear and loathing, doom and gloom permeate nearly every minute of the beginning of the end of the behemoth boywizard series. This seventh film in the franchise, directed once again by David Yates (who previously helmed parts five and six, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”), begins with nearly suffocating tension, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) finds himself face-to-face with his destiny: being the target of the evil Lord Voldemort’s (Ralph Fiennes) deadly wrath. Friends and allies will have to band together to protect him; some of them won’t make it out alive. Finally, the weight of Harry’s past and the frightening unknown of his future, as detailed so thoroughly and vividly in J.K. Rowling’s beloved books, are about to collide. Yates’ film is gorgeously bleak, with sprawling, endof-the-Earth shots of foreboding mountains and lonely beaches from Oscar-nominated cinematographer Eduardo Serra (“Girl With a Pearl Earring”) that reflect the characters’ moods. The films have grown darker in tone and theme, and given this heightened emotional challenge, the three young stars (Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) once again rise to it. Having spent half their lives in these characters, their interactions with one another seem more comfortable and believable than ever. But because “Part 1” sets up the final showdown in “Part 2” — which Yates also directed, due in July — there’s lots of exposition in Steve Kloves’ script, lots of characters and plot lines introduced and reintroduced from films past. While it’s thrilling off the top, it repeatedly sags in the middle before ultimately picking up at the cliffhanger climax. RATED: PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images. RUNNING TIME: 143 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“Barney’s Version”

Paul Giamatti is perfectly cast as novelist Mordecai Richler’s lovably self-destructive curmudgeon Barney, Canadian producer of schlock TV, wooer of women way out of his league, self-righteous and self-loathing arbiter of all that is wrong with the people around him. Director Richard J. Lewis’ sparkling film adaptation moves effortlessly between churlish hilarity and aching melancholy as Barney savages friends and enemies alike over the course of 30-plus years. The filmmakers have done a terrific job compacting the novel to present a faithful rendition of Barney’s rich, sordid and always interesting life story, which includes stormy marriages to three

December 16, 2010

wives (Rachel Lefevre, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike). Giamatti and Pike create a wonderful portrait of mismatched lovers, she an embodiment of virtue and devotion, he an outrageous, blustering yet big-hearted buffoon that she — and the audience — cannot help but love. Giamatti and Pike both deserve serious Academy Awards consideration, as does Dustin Hoffman, a perpetual scene-stealer as Barney’s crude beat-cop father. RATED: R for language and some sexual content. RUNNING TIME: 132 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

“Black Swan”

At once gorgeous and gloriously nutso, a trippy, twisted fantasy that delights and disturbs in equal measure. Darren Aronofsky takes the same stripped-down fascination with, and appreciation for, the minutiae of preparation that he brought to his Oscar-nominated “The Wrestler” and applies it to the pursuit of a different kind of artistry: ballet. But then the director mixes in a wildly hallucinatory flair as “Black Swan” enters darker psychological territory. Working with his frequent cinematographer, Matthew Libatique, and incorporating some dazzling visual effects, Aronofsky spins a nightmare scenario within a seemingly gentle, pristine world. The visions and dreams soar over-the-top at times, but always knowingly so, and with great style; “Black Swan” wallows in its grandiosity, and if you’re willing to go along with it, you’ll find yourself wowed by one of the best films of the year. Natalie Portman gives it her all in a brave and demanding performance as Nina, a driven but innocent New York City ballerina. When it comes time to stage a bold, new production of “Swan Lake,” the company’s artistic director (a skeevy and manipulative Vincent Cassel) thinks Nina is perfect to play the White Swan. But he needs a dancer who also can portray the fierce sexuality of the Black Swan. Enter Lily (Mila Kunis), a savvy and confident newcomer who represents Nina’s biggest threat to getting the lead role. RATED: R for strong sexual content, disturbing violent images, language and some drug use. RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

“I Love You Phillip Morris”

Jim Carrey gets to show off the best of what he can do here, both the physical comedy he made his name on and the unexpected tenderness that has crept into his later, more

dramatic work. He uses that whole range to play a gay conman driven by love, giving a consistently charming, breezy performance in a film that frequently feels inconsistent in tone. The directing debut of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who wrote the awesomely inappropriate “Bad Santa,” veers a bit jarringly between its humorous, serious and romantic moments. But Carrey, as real-life scam artist Steven Russell, is never short of fascinating to watch. The story is so incredible, you’re constantly wondering what outlandish scheme he’ll perpetrate next. (A quick intro to the film assures us: “This really happened. It really did.”) Ficarra and Requa’s script, based on the book by former Houston Chronicle investigative reporter Steven McVicker, follows Steven Russell’s many creative efforts to procure money, then break out of jail each time he’s caught. During one of his stints behind bars, he meets the true love of his life: a sweet, soft-spoken pretty boy named Phillip Morris, whom Ewan McGregor plays with great delicacy and heart. Carrey and McGregor are awfully cute together, and one of the great strengths of “I Love You Phillip Morris” is the matter-of-fact way it handles their relationship; it’s never precious or mawkish, and frequently the humor between them is quite raunchy. RATED: R for sexual content including strong dialogue, and language. RUNNING TIME: 98 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

“Night Catches Us”

So much is right about writer-director Tanya Hamilton’s feature debut: terrific acting, great music, a painterly eye for detail, fine period trappings that bring the mid-1970s to life without turning the film into a garish flashback. Yet her story of former Black Panthers moving on after the civil-rights movement is predictable and overly simple, an injustice to the characters and environment she’s created. The drama unfolds in an obvious manner as a prodigal Panther (Anthony Mackie) comes home to his blighted Philadelphia neighborhood, has run-ins with cops and old comrades turned adversaries, and reconnects with the woman (Kerry Washington) for whom he once carried a torch. It’s an admirable story, admirably told, but there’s nothing fresh or unexpected here. Within minutes of each character ’s appearance, you know them as well as you’re going to, and they play out their parts in Hamilton’s story just as you suspect they will. The period details are a highlight, including a sharp ‘70s soundtrack bridged by a funky score from the Roots. RATED: R for language, some sexuality and violence. RUNNING TIME: 89 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

Movies “Black Swan” a gorgeous nightmare By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press “Black Swan” is at once gorgeous and gloriously nutso, a trippy, twisted fantasy that delights and disturbs in equal measure. Darren Aronofsky takes the same stripped-down fascination with, and appreciation for, the minutiae of preparation that he brought to his Oscar-nominated “The Wrestler” — the best film of 2008, according to yours truly — and applies it to the pursuit of a different kind of artistry: ballet. All the intimate, behindthe-scenes moments are there, the matter-of-fact glimpses of the tricks that go into the performance as well as the toll this demanding activity takes on the body. But then the director mixes in a wildly hallucinatory flair as “Black Swan” enters darker psychological territory. Working with his frequent c i n e m a t o g r a p h e r, M a t t h e w Libatique, and incorporating some dazzling visual effects, Aronofsky spins a nightmare scenario within a seemingly gentle, pristine world. The camera swoops and swoons, making us feel as off-kilter as the film’s tormented heroine. The visions and dreams soar seriously over-the-top at times, but always knowingly so, and with great style; “Black Swan” wallows in its grandiosity, and if you’re willing to go along with it, you’ll find yourself wowed by one of the best films of the year. Natalie Portman gives it her all, physically and mentally, in a brave and demanding performance as Nina, a driven New York City ballerina who has zero life outside of dance. Portman had studied ballet growing up, but “Black Swan” required a grueling regimen of training five hours a day, everyday,

Associated Press

In this film publicity image released by Fox Searchlight, Natalie Portman, left, and Vincent Cassel are shown in a scene from “Black Swan.” for 10 months before production even began. Innocently enduring a sheltered existence with her smothering mother, Erica (a deeply creepy Barbara Hershey), a former ballet dancer herself now living vicariously through her daughter, Nina is stuck in a state of arrested development. She’s immensely talented and dedicated but still a child inside, as evidenced by the fluffy stuffed bunnies that populate her girly-pink bedroom, and the way her mommy

still tucks her in at night. When it comes time to stage a bold, new production of “Swan Lake,” the company’s artistic director (a skeevy and manipulative Vincent Cassel) thinks Nina is perfect to play the White Swan. But he needs a dancer who also can portray the fierce sexuality of the Black Swan. Enter Lily (Mila Kunis), a savvy and confident newcomer who represents Nina’s biggest threat to getting the lead role. So yes, the script from Mark Heyman and Andres Heinz

and John McLaughlin does have its obvious influences — “The Red Shoes,” “The Turning Point” and “All About Eve” among them — and yet “Black Swan” emerges as a fascinating entity all its own. Nina snags the part, with Lily as her understudy. The two women don’t exactly become friends but achieve a sort of competitive symbiosis; the deeper Nina gets into rehearsals, the more she sees Lily in her mind, both as a frightening force and as the kind of woman she’d

like to be. The fact that Portman and Kunis resemble each other in features and stature greatly enhances this effect — and yes, the hotly anticipated love scene between the two is indeed hot. But Nina also sees her body transforming, morphing grotesquely as she finds both the white and black swans within herself, with the romantic but rough ballet costumes from the fashion designers known as Rodarte almost becoming an extension of her body.

“127 Hours” among 2010’s best films By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge It occurs to me now, as I reflect back on my experience with the excellent “127 Hours,” that Danny Boyle’s filmmaking is vastly underrated. Despite winning a slew of Oscars for his last film, “Slumdog Millionaire,” Boyle’s entire resume is chock full of quality motion pictures. Have you ever seen addiction so exploited as by Ewan MacGregor in “Trainspotting”? Zombies so terrifying as in “28 Days Later”? His little seen sci-fi pic, “Sunshine,” is also quite good. To build a body of work like that and not get your due is rare in this day and age. It also makes me feel like I have a little treat to look forward to that no one else knows about. In all fairness, I had never heard of Aron Ralston, his ordeal, or his 2003 book “Between a Rock and a Hard Place” until the marketing campaign for this movie stirred it up again. Seems like something I would have read eagerly about, but I was in college then and blissfully naive about the goings on in the world. But I love the movie version! James Franco (famous from “Spider-Man” and lately of “General Hospital”) turns out one amazing performance as the outdoorsy Ralston, a mountain climber and adventurer who found himself enduring five

December 16, 2010

impossible days stuck in a red rock canyon near Moab, Utah, back in ‘03. While crossing the top of the shallow, narrow canyon, several small boulders gave way, trapping Ralston by pinning his right hand and wrist between the sheer wall and a round slab of rock that immovably corks the neck of the canyon. He’s locked into a fixed standing position, facing the boulder, but helpless to do much more than he can with his feet and one free arm. The movie, one I’m happy to include among the very best that 2010 has had to offer, is essentially a one-man show as Franco depicts the many traumas that Ralston endured over the span of the titular 127 hours of confinement. He was equipped with only a very small amount of food, water, and the other components of an adventurer’s daypack: headlamp, camera, rope and carabineers. He uses the dying battery of his camcorder to record, at first, a diary of his situation and then, later, his good-bye to family and friends. It also catches the ravings of a man slowly losing his faculties. The regret of not leaving a note about where he’d gone for the day weighs heavily on his mind. Franco anchors the entire picture by himself (think Tom Hanks in “Cast Away”), but there are still a number of other very recognizable actors in this movie. Treat Williams and Lizzy Caplan play Aron’s father and sister in flashbacks. Kate

Mara and Amber Tamblyn play a couple of cute co-ed hikers Aron meets on the trail the morning before his fall. Ralston, of course, survived his imprisonment and lives today doing motivational speaking and still actively enjoys canyoneering. To be able to do so, he was forced to cut off his right forearm with a dull multi-tool while pinned in that canyon. This particular scene, one that comes at the tail end of the movie, is earning a lot of notoriety for its brutal depiction of amputation. Do not let this prevent you from seeing it. The blood is minimal, thanks to a well-placed tourniquet, and the gore is manageable. It sounds kind of bad, but I thought that the severing of nerves and tendons was very artistically shot. My biggest problem was listening to the deafening shotgun blasts that were used as audio clues for the breaking of the bones in his forearm, done by wrenching his body backward and downward in a corkscrewing motion that was hard to watch, to say the least. Man and nature are at odds in this film, but never show disrespect for what each other is capable of. That’s a winning recipe. ••• “127 Hours” runs 101 minutes and is rated R for language and some disturbing violent content/bloody images. I give this film four stars out of four.

Movies Pacino, Holmes headed to Sundance film fest LOS ANGELES (AP) — They may be low-budget independent films, but the premieres at next month’s Sundance Film Festival are loaded with stars, including Al Pacino, Katie Holmes, Pierce Brosnan, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Spacey and Tobey Maguire. Pacino, Holmes and Channing Tatum star in “The Son of No One,” director Dito Montiel’s post9/11 New York drama that will be the closing-night film of Robert Redford’s festival, which runs Jan. 20-30 in Park City, Utah. The festival will mark the return of director Kevin Smith, whose career took off after his microbudgeted debut film “Clerks” sold after playing Sundance in 1994. Smith will be looking for distribution for his latest Sundance premiere, “Red State,” a horror tale set among Middle America fundamentalists that features John Goodman and Melissa Leo. Among other premieres a n n o u n c e d T h u r s d a y : G e o rg e Ratliff’s evangelical tale “Salvation Boulevard,” with Brosnan and Connelly; JC Chandor’s economiccrisis drama “Margin Call,” starring Spacey; David Mackenzie’s love story “Perfect Sense,” with Ewan McGregor and Eva Green; Tom McCarthy’s wrestling comedy “Win Win,” with Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan; Miguel Arteta’s business-conference comedy “Cedar Rapids,” with Ed Helms, John C. Reilly and Sigourney Weaver; and Jacob Aaron Estes’ domestic romp “The Details,” featuring Maguire and Elizabeth Banks. Banks co-stars in a second Sundance premiere, Jesse Peretz’s “My Idiot Brother,” which also features Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer in the tale of an ex-con pot peddler who moves in with his three sisters one after the other while trying to get his life in order. “Salvation Boulevard” co-star Greg Kinnear stars in a second Sundance premiere, Jill Sprecher’s “ T h e C o n v i n c e r, ” a b o u t a n insurance salesman caught in a scheme involving a rare musical i n s t ru m e n t . “ T h e C o n v i n c e r ” also features Alan Arkin, who costarred with Kinnear in the 2006 Sundance premiere “Little Miss Sunshine,” which earned Arkin the supporting-actor Academy Award. The Sundance lineup of about 125 films, which includes 64 dramatic and documentary features announced Wednesday that will compete for prizes, is tough to characterize this time, said festival director John Cooper. “The diversity of story in this year ’s festival is very interesting. We’ve had years where it’s one kind of dysfunctional family drama after another, or five different variations of coming-of-age stories,” Cooper said. “But these films are very original. They’re

December 16, 2010

coming from very imaginative, creative places.” Festival organizers this year added a separate premieres category for documentaries, which will include “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” from director Morgan Spurlock, who won Sundance’s documentary directing prize for 2004’s “Supersize Me.” Spurlock’s new film is billed as a “documentary about branding, advertising and p ro d u c t p l a c e m e n t ” t h a t w a s “financed and made possible by branding, advertising and product placement.” Other documentary premieres include: Eugene Jarecki’s “Reagan,” a portrait of actorturned-president Ronald Reagan; Liz Garbus’ “Bobby Fischer Against the World,” tracing the career of the chess-master; Jim

Whitaker ’s “Rebirth,” chronicling the past decade in the lives of five people deeply affected by the Sept. 11 attacks; Steve James’ “The Interrupters,” following the lives of ex-gang members now working t o p ro t e c t t h e i r c o m m u n i t i e s from violence; and Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato’s “Becoming Chaz,” examining Chastity Bono’s sex change. Also announced Thursday was the festival’s midnight slate of horror films and extreme comedies. The films include Madeleine Olnek’s sci-fi romp “Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same”; Andre Ovredal’s action fantasy “Troll Hunter ’; Alex Stapleton’s documentary “Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel,” about indie filmmaker Roger Corman, who helped launch the career of Jack Nicholson, James

Movies Jeff Bridges treading on familiar turf LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jeff Bridges has been reacquainting himself with old friends. First, he follows up on his bestactor Academy Awards win for “Crazy Heart” with “Tron: Legacy,” a return to the glossy virtual reality of 1982’s “Tron.” The movie hits theaters Dec. 17. Days later, Bridges stars as boozy, one-eyed lawman Rooster Cogburn in a new take on the Western “True Grit,” reteaming with Joel and Ethan Coen, who directed him in the cult hit of cult hits “The Big Lebowski.” His previous sequel experience also was a long time coming — 19 years — with 1990’s “Texasville,” a followup to 1971’s “The Last Picture Show,” which earned Bridges his first of five Oscar nominations. “Tron: Legacy” took almost a decade longer, and while the original was cutting-edge at the time, its pioneering computer graphics look as quaint as a game of Pong in today’s world of photorealistic digital animation. “It was like a long weekend in a way,” Bridges, 61, said of returning to the role of Flynn, the computer genius who ventures into a deadly computer realm known as the Grid. “Odd, very odd. Of course, then there’s all this new motion-capture technology that I hadn’t experienced. That was completely different than the other one.” Motion-capture, used in such films as last year’s blockbuster “Avatar,” allows actors to render a digital performance that is topped off with computer effects to create finished characters. I n “ Tro n : L e g a c y, ” B r i d g e s not only plays Flynn, but also the villainous computer program Clu, created by digitally erasing 25 years off the actor’s face, then grafting his rejuvenated image on another actor’s body. “I’m just blown away by how willing he was to try something new. Playing the character of Clu, the technology required to pull that off and the stuff we had to do to him,” said “Tron: Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski. “You’d think a lot of actors would shy away from that, especially someone who’s been working as long as he has. But he embraced it. He wanted to play with the new toys.” The result may be good enough that if Clu could travel back to the mid-1980s, he might fool Bridges’ friends, the actor said. “Maybe so. The big one was my wife. She was very instrumental in the little tweaks, saying my nose should be like this or that,” Bridges said of his wife of 33 years, Susan Bridges. “She would know.” Bridges got his start as a child actor, taking small parts on “Sea Hunt,” the TV adventure series starring his father, Lloyd Bridges. He has built a wildly varied body of work in populist films (“Seabiscuit,” “Starman,” “The Fisher King”) and smaller tales (“American Heart,” “Fearless,” “The Fabulous Baker Boys,” co-starring his brother,

December 16, 2010

Beau Bridges). Usually cast as likable guys, Bridges turned villain for 2008’s blockbuster “Iron Man.” While Bridges had been game to revisit “Tron,” he knew people would have doubts about “True Grit.” The 1969 original is one of John Wayne’s best-known Westerns, earning him an Oscar as Cogburn. Will Wayne fans consider it sacrilege? “I don’t think about that, but that question comes up all the time. ‘How does it feel to fill the Duke’s boots?”’ Bridges said. “That’s going to be interesting, what the audience does with that. If they’re going to be able to see me as Rooster or they’re going to say, ‘Ahh, that’s not Wayne!’ “But I didn’t let that figure into my doing it or not. The Coen brothers wanted me, man. Come on, I’m there, man.” When he drops the word “man,” it’s like an echo of his laid-back patter in 1998’s “The Big Lebowski,” which did modest business theatrically but gained such a following on video that it has come to define his career, in a way. Jeff Lebowski — “The Dude” — is lovably off in his own world, living for bowling and preserving his middle-aged slacker existence. His declarations include: “The Dude abides,” “This will not stand, man,” and, when someone jostles one of his trademark White Russians: “Man, there’s a beverage here!” There are traces of the Dude in “Tron: Legacy,” as Bridges’ Flynn talks in hippie-dippie fashion about “bio-digital jazz” and complains, “You’re messing with my Zen thing, man.” His surfer penguin in 2007’s animated comedy “Surf’s Up” and burned-out psychic in last year ’s “The Men Who Stare at Goats” were Dude-like, as was the takewhat-comes attitude of his alcoholic country crooner in “Crazy Heart.” Even Bridges’ ornery, drawling Cogburn in “True Grit” drops the Dude word “abide.” Bridges himself has something of a “whatever, man” attitude about being defined by Lebowski. “People like to use that element because I think people are fond of that guy, and there are certainly bits of the Dude in myself,” Bridges said. “It’s funny, more in the past, I was very concerned about creating too strong a persona, and I still have a bit of that. Not as much as I did when I began. “I think a lot of that is due to my father, who had ‘Sea Hunt,’ and he created such a strong persona in that that he only got skin-diving scripts.” Jeff Bridges has been far luckier, able to pick and choose, rarely lacking for something interesting t o d o . S h o w ing off his raspy singing voice in “Crazy Heart” opened even more opportunities. Bridges is recording an album with old friend T Bone Burnett, an Oscar winner for co-writing the “Crazy Heart” theme song.

With other interests including photography (he creates photo

books of images he shoots on his film sets), Bridges aims to cherry-

pick only roles that truly grab him.

Education notebook Students train to prevent dental abuse and neglect Dental students from Lewis and Clark attended Prevent Abuse and Neglect through Dental Awareness (P.A.N.D.A.) training this past November to learn how to identify signs of abuse and neglect, and report a suspected situation. The training, offered through a program instituted in 1995 by the Illinois State Dental Society, took place on Nov. 4 in the Trimpe Building Advanced Technology Center, and included 70 Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene students. Illinois dentists and dental hygienists are mandated reporters of suspected abuse and neglect. “I commend the Lewis and Clark Community College dental programs for providing this invaluable training,” said Margarette Trushel, executive director of the Oasis Women’s Center in Alton. “Since 1996 in Madison County, there have been at least 58 domestic violence related deaths: 30 women, 18 children and 10 men. Dentists may often be the first professionals to identify a victim of abuse as 65 percent of all physical child abuse and 75 percent of all adult physical domestic violence result in injuries to the head, neck, and/ or mouth. Oasis would also like to thank the college and program coordinator Michelle Singley for all that they do to support victims of domestic violence and their families in our community.” Cathy Anderson, Mobile Unit RDH and program faculty, said the training was not only important in assuring competency in identifying suspected signs of abuse and neglect in patient populations, but was also essential in meeting the objectives of a grant the program received last year from the Alliance of the Illinois State Dental Society. Alliance grant monies will support the Soothing Smiles p ro g r a m , w h i c h w i l l p ro v i d e aid to victims of abuse and/or neglect seeking shelter at the Oasis Women’s Center in Alton. “Numerous community projects have been developed in the Dental Hygiene nProgram, but the Soothing Smiles P ro g r a m i s n e a r a n d d e a r t o our hearts,” said program c o o rd i n a t o r M i c h e l l e S i n g l e y. “The increased knowledge, heightened awareness, and specialized training that the Lewis and Clark faculty, staff, and students have received will extend far beyond this program.

Also, the patients that we see on a daily basis in our Paul B.

There is no way to place a value on the benefits of initiating life altering changes for children in crisis, or even more dramatically, saving even one person’s life.” P a l l i a t i v e o r a l c a re k i t s f o r women and children containing dental supplies that will soothe oral injuries, and provide comfort to victims will be dispensed. In addition, stuffed panda bears, the program’s symbol of hope, will be provided to injured children. Dental Hygiene students and faculty will also be on call and available for oral health counseling as needed. “I am extremely pleased that we are able to offer support to o u r c o m m u n i t y t h ro u g h t h i s important program,” Anderson said. “I can’t think of anything more crucial to our mission than protecting our children.” For more information about P.

Stocking stuffers Aera merchants offer the perfect gifts for all ages By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

he great stocking stuffer dilemma has been an issue for me for years. I end up at the closest Walgreens, basket on my arm, throwing anything in that will fit in a stocking, whether it is relevant to the person or not. After researching the topic for this story, I have decided I am doing a disservice to my gift recipients, since I have found some great items in some of our local stores that would be loved by all. I started out at Maggie’s Primitive Cottage, located at 441 East Vandalia, in Edwardsville. I love that store – love the smells, love the ambiance, love the selection. Maggie’s is now open

during the holiday season, seven days a week, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Maggie tries very hard to buy handcrafted products that are made in the United States. She has a large selection of holiday decor and gift items, along with a number of great stocking stuffer ideas. If you have a jewelry lover who would want something totally unique, Maggie’s offers Jewelry by SRS-Artisan Handtooled and Crafted Original Jewelry Designs, which is out of O’Fallon, Illinois. There is a Christmas tree filled with handmade mittens by upNorthmittens. They are made of recycled, felted wool sweaters and lined in cozy fleece. These are handmade by Joan Petrelius from Howgton, Mich. You can read more about the mittens at www.

upnorthmittens. com. Although Maggie’s has a huge selection of candles, her own private labeled candles, blended by 1824 Candle Co., are the perfect size and scent for any Christmas stocking. She also has votives and tarts by Swan Creek out of Ohio that are scented 100 percent through the candle, meaning you will receive the scent until the candle is completely burned. One of the most popular items at Maggie’s may be small, but it is mighty! The “Solid Lotion Bar” that is produced in Minnesota by “The Soap Bar” is a lightly scented solid lotion bar that can be used anywhere on the body and is a wonderful moisturizer for all skin types. It is made with no glycerin. Maggie’s has a large assortment of items for the cook, including Paula Deen’s spices and rubs. She also carries a large selection of Country Home Creations, including Country Creole Dip Mix, Chipoltle & Garlic Dip Mix, BLT Dip Mix, and Salsa Ranch Dip, just to name a few. There is also a large selection of linen towels that the material is woven in India and brought back by a lady that owns Irene’s Quilts. Many customers comment how nicely they wash up and they last so long. Maggie is usually on hand to give assistance, if not her helpers always are ready to give suggestions. The shop will close Christmas Eve through Jan. 4. So hurry in to get some great items. Another wonderful spot to find just the right stocking stuffer is Jan’s

Hallmark, located in the Edwardsville Market Place, 2312 Troy Road, in Edwardsville. Their number is 656-9445. Not only can you find some really wonderful collector’s ornaments, such as NFL and NHL players, but you can find movie characters, including those from “Star Wars” and “Eclipse,” along with comic characters and Disney characters. They also have a large variety of other ornaments that aren’t the Hallmark brand, but are very nice quality and design. An ornament is always a nice memorable gift that gets used for years to come. If your gift receiver is a lover of scent, there is a large selection of Yankee Candle products at Jan’s Hallmark. One of the more popular is the Yankee Candle Lip Balms. They come in a package with assorted flavors and are a perfect size for the stocking. They also have Yankee Candle car deodorizers, plug in warmers and many other selections. For the kids in your life, right now the hot items are the Silly Bandz that are rubber type bracelets that when you take them off, they have a shape of some character, item or animal to them. They have a huge selection at Jan’s Hallmark. Whether you are looking for Disney Bandz, Animal Bandzr or any other Bandz, Jan’s Hallmark is your “Bandz Headquarters.” They also have Womp Charmz and Crazy Capz charms and necklaces.

ZuZu Pets are another item at the top of children’s lists. In the back right hand corner of Jan’s Hallmark is an amazing selection of ZuZu Pets in lots of colors and many of the accessories that go with them. If you can’t find what you are looking for, make sure to ask about it, they have a very large assortment. For the men, Jan’s Hallmark may not be your first thought to shop, but they have a lot of nice items for the masculine list. Whether they are a Cardinals fan and would maybe enjoy a MLB Cardinals coffee mug, or a Cardinals baseball paper weight, a collectible St. Louis Blues calendar or other sports genre gifts, they have them. They have a collection of Lolita Mini Pilsner Glasses with a number of themes that make a great desk or book case item for men, or can be used as an ornament, as they come with a small attached ribbon for hanging. Each glass comes in a unique classic case. There is not a single man, woman or child who would pass up Jelly Bellies Jelly Beans, Russell Stover’s Candies, Hallmark’s Butter Almond Toffee, or any of the other large candy and cordial selections that Jan’s Hallmark carries. Any or all will put a smile on the face of the recipient. Jan’s Hallmark’s holiday hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. They will be open on Christmas Eve until 5 p.m., and closed on Christmas Day. Happy shopping!

Above, dips, sure to please any palate, are available in a wide variety at Maggie’s Primitive Cottage. Silly Bandz, at left, are popular with children and are available in just about every shape and color at Jan’s Hallmark. Photos by Debbie Settle.

December 16, 2010

that you are really thinking about them by caring enough to remember their pet! Four Muddy Paws in Edwardsville is a great source for all of your pet needs. Christy Winter, store manager of Four Muddy Paws, has a number of great ideas and advice for buying for your pet. “Remember to get the right gift for the right dog. If you have a rough and tough dog, make sure to buy tough toys. Buy toys that will stimulate your pet. Keep healthy and natural in mind, those two items are key,” said Winter. Many times people will buy a multitude of treats for their pets. Prepackaged processed treats can really be hard on your pets digestive system, especially if they rarely eat that kind of treat. Giving your pet a gift doesn’t mean to over-indulge them with rich fatty processed items. Four Muddy Paws has a complete selection of fresh baked pet treats that are

made of all natural products. Some are even decorated for the holidays. They also have a complete selection of natural dog and cat foods, including raw and freeze dried foods. “Raw and natural foods are one of the best things you can feed your cat or dog. It gets them in touch with their natural instincts and less processing is always best for your pets health,” said Winter. Four Muddy Paws also has a huge selection of toys for dogs of all sizes and cats of every breed. Dogs love their deer antlers to chew on, which are all from deer that shed them, not cultivated deer. Cats can never have enough toys. They have a large supply of pet beds, rugs and mats. They have pet bowls of all kinds, treat containers and jars. They even have holiday stockings for pets and collars and leads with Christmas themes.

One of the most popular items they offer are called PAWZ. These are booties made of natural rubber and are waterproof, and can be reused and then disposed of once they show wear. For the pet lover, they offer a number of giftables to show off your passion. Whimsical salt and pepper shakers, t-shirts, night lights, picture frames and more. If you are buying for a pet owner that needs grooming services for their furry friend, Four Muddy Paws offers gift certificates for grooming services or even for their unique, self-service washing stations. A clean pet is a happy pet! This year, remember your pets and take the time to buy the right gift. If you need help or ideas, the folks at Four Muddy Paws can help you come up with just the right gift. Four Muddy Paws is located at 2127 South Route 157, in Edwardsville. You can call them at 692-4PAW (4729).

Men do their part in cancer battle CLEVELAND (AP) — The scraggly patch of blond hair on Zak MacDonald’s upper lip is a source of mockery among his co-workers in this testosterone-laden office, where the art of growing a mustache has become a full-blown competition. Scanning the cubicles, there are several handlebars and respectably bushy mustaches. The most prominent even rival the collage of famous ’staches displayed on the wall, including Tom Selleck’s iconic facial hair. Much to his chagrin, though, MacDonald’s is not among them. “As you can tell, we’re 22 days in and there’s not a whole lot happening up in the ’stache area,”

he admitted, rubbing a hand over his lip. “But you know, God knows I’m trying.” These men are among the more than 500,000 eager participants in “Movember,” which inspired men all over the world to grow mustaches last month to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer. Since it was founded by a bunch of beer-drinking Australians in 2005, Movember has raised more than $100 million, with men collecting sponsorships and earning more money as those mustaches grow. Movember ’s founders say they are shedding light on a very real health threat. While breast cancer awareness has turned half the world

pink, they say, cancers targeting men are rarely talked about. “They’re silent killers,” says Movember spokeswoman Lisa Potter. About 32,000 men will die of prostate cancer in 2010, according to estimates by the American Cancer Society. That’s not far behind the nearly 40,000 women who will die of breast cancer this year. It all got started when a bunch of guys were sitting around drinking beers in Australia and decided to grow some mustaches just for fun. The ensuing disgust from their girlfriends and co-workers prompted them to find a charitable justification for their facial hair,

rom China Restaurant f s y a d i l o H y p p a H

Potter says. “They were kind of laughed at,” she says. “But they raised over $55,000 that year with 450 guys.” After signing up at Movember. com, men vie for donations through

their “MoSpace page,” where family and friends can track their progress and rate the merits of the mustache by perusing uploaded photos. There’s even an iPhone app, newly introduced this year.

oliday Stress

You can start to decrease stress TODAY by simply taking some deep long breaths, walking faster with an erect posture, and thinking happy thoughts. Exercise is one of the best ways, but who has time during the holiday season? So, these three little things will make a difference even when walking to the car with all those packages, you can do them all at one time, and you won’t have to find time to go to the gym!!! Drink water and eat an apple instead of fast-food laden with bad fats and unhealthy carbs. Unhealthy foods also stress the body. Stress lowers the immune system, decreases cardiac health, and may cause insomnia, either having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep which are brain stress responses just to name a couple of body responses to stress. Listen to soft slow music, light a candle, laugh (laughter is truly the best medicine), do something for someone else (unknown to them is the best reward) and take time to celebrate the real reason for the season.

Travel Travel briefs Agency moves to end Philly cruise ship departures PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Declining demand has Philadelphia’s port getting out of the cruise ship business. The Delaware River Port Authority says bigger ships and lower interest have led to fewer departures out of Philadelphia’s Navy Yard terminal. Only two cruises are scheduled to depart out of Philadelphia next year, down from more than 30 a few years ago. The authority’s executive committee approved a plan Wednesday to end the terminal lease on January 1. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the agency would save $18 million in renovation costs by ending cruises. The full board is expected to give the plan final approval later this month. The two departures scheduled for 2011 would still be honored.

NOMA celebrates first century NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When the New Orleans Museum of Art opened its doors 100 years ago thanks to a $150,000 donation offered by a local businessman to build a “temple of art for rich and poor alike,” it owned only 11 pictures and a small collection of other objects. Now, thanks to the donations of others over the years, NOMA has more than 35,000 pieces in its permanent collection — ranging from Degas, Picasso, Chagall and other big-name artists, to dramatic African and Asian art, antique glass and a sculpture garden featuring works by 20th century greats such as Henry Moore and Louise Bourgeois. “They have a really amazing collection for which they don’t get enough recognition,” said Arnold Lehman, director of the Brooklyn Museum. “Other than Texas, which has those amazing museums, it has the most important collections in the whole six or seven states in the southern area.” The present collections, valued at over $500 million, fill a museum that is more than 13 times as large as the original. “It’s great to have a worldclass museum in our region,” said George D. Bassi, president of the Southeastern Museums Conference. “And when you look at art museums in the southeast region, NOMA is one that comes to mind, not only in collection but in its exhibitions and educational programs.” To celebrate its centennial, the museum is staging a show of those collections and the people who made them possible — “Great Collectors/ Great Donors: The Making of the New Orleans Museum of Art, 1910-

December 16, 2010

2010,” which runs through Jan. 23. The show highlights various decades in the museum’s growth and the wealthy patrons who built collections including Japanese painting, Indian tribal art, traditional African carving and the five-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. “Certainly the gifts that make up the sculpture garden have been some of the greatest in our history,” said former director John Bullard, who retired in September after 37 years with the museum. N O M A’ s f u n d i n g s o u r c e s include some money from the city, endowment earnings, income from the shops, ticket sales, and memberships as well as donations and fundraisers, but none of it would be enough to build the museum’s collections without major benefactors. “They have some of greatest collections, certainly in the south, but also some that rank right up there nationally,” said Bonnie Pittman, director of the Dallas Museum of Art. Bullard said selections for the show were difficult to make. He whittled it down to collections from nearly 30 patrons including primitive paintings, delicate Japanese art, Indian brass, silver dinnerware, photography and antique glass. The works were chosen to show the collector ’s vision, passion for obtaining each item, and interest in making it available to the public. “A collector collects because that’s what he does,” said Dr. Siddharth Bhansili, a cardiologist who has helped NOMA build its collection of Indian art. “You want to possess something, but when it’s in my possession I invariably ask where I would want to see this — in my home, in my warehouse or in the museum.”

World Cup 2018 to be in Russia and 2022 to Qatar ZURICH (AP) — FIFA sent the World Cup into uncharted territory

Thursday, handing the 2018 edition to Russia and going to Qatar in 2022. Russia’s selection came despite the no-show of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, but his clout still had an impact on FIFA’s 22 voters as it won over England, Spain-Portugal and Belgium-Netherlands. Qatar brings the World Cup to the smallest host ever but one which has unparalleled financial clout to stage the world’s biggest singlesport event. It overcame objections about holding the games in desert heat and asked FIFA to take a “bold gamble.” “We go to new lands,” FIFA President Sepp Blatter said. The United States and Australia had been tipped as favorites alongside Qatar for 2022. Japan and South Korea were also in the running. After three days of high anxiety when England sent Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham for intense lobbying and the United States counted on the aura of former President Bill Clinton, none were a match for the novelty promised by Qatar and Russia. “Thank you for believing in change,” said Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Qatar will stage a World Cup in and around Doha in a desert summer but promises state-of-theart technology to cool fans and players alike.

Private investors look to build Noah’s Ark in Kentucky

the Bible belt city of Williamstown. The mission of the project, Zovath said, is to lend credence to the biblical account of a catastrophic flood and to dispel doubts that Noah could have fit two of every kind of animal onto a 500-foot-long ark. Investors, who have looked at sites across the country for the proposed theme park, are looking closely at an 800-acre site in Grant County just off Interstate 75, a heavily traveled north-south corridor. Selecting the location is contingent on a number of factors, including approval of state tax incentives, the value of which haven’t yet been determined. Gov. Steve Beshear said he favors providing the tax incentives to encourage investors to move ahead with the Ark Encounter project that investors claim would create about 900 permanent jobs and have a $214 million economic impact in its first year of operation. The governor, who is seeking re-election next year, showed little patience with people who object to the project on religious grounds. “The people of Kentucky didn’t elect me governor to debate religion,” Beshear said. “They elected me governor to create jobs. That’s what we’re doing here, and that’s what we’re going to continue to do.” Investors submitted an application Wednesday for sales tax reimbursements under a tourism development initiative approved by the state legislature earlier this year.

“I think it’s fair to say we are all very positive, initially, about this application, and we don’t really see any problems in getting it approved,” Beshear said. However, the notion of providing such incentives for a project with a religious theme drew immediate opposition on grounds of churchstate separation and raised the specter of protracted legal battles over the issue. “It’s perfectly fine for a private group to relaunch Noah’s ark, but the governor shouldn’t go along for the ride,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. “The government should not be giving tax incentives for religious projects. Religion should be supported by voluntary donations, not the government.” Beshear said the state can’t legally withhold such incentives just because the project has a biblical theme. “There’s nothing even remotely unconstitutional about a forprofit organization coming in and investing $150 million to create jobs in Kentucky and bring tourism to Kentucky,” Beshear said. American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky staff attorney Bill Sharp said he doesn’t see constitutional problems with the state granting tax exemptions for the project. “Courts have found that giving such tax exemptions on a nondiscriminatory basis does not violate the establishment clause, even when the tax exemption goes to a religious purpose,” Sharp said.

F R A N K F O RT, K y. ( A P ) — Modern-day investors want to do in three years what took Noah and his sons more than 100 years to do: Build an ark to the dimensions specified in the Bible. Mike Zovath, co-founder of the Answers in Genesis ministry that opened the Creation Museum in Kentucky three years ago, said Wednesday he believes the full-scale replica of Noah’s Ark will draw some 1.6 million visitors a year to

It’s all about the food Diamond Mineral Springs has a delicious history By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

he history is deep, the mashed potatoes are piled high, the chicken is crispy brown, the beets are pickled and the doors are almost always open. Just reading that line will give most people enough knowledge to guess I am talking about Diamond Mineral Springs in Grantfork. Also lovingly known as Chicken Hill, (actually Chicken “expletive” Hill) because of the historical reference to the chicken shack that housed the chickens that were to become dinners for the many customers that stopped by, Diamond Mineral Springs can trace its roots back to 1892. Yes, the building that houses what is still known as Diamond Mineral Springs Restaurant is one-and-the-same with a few additions and alterations, still the original that began it all in 1892. A gentleman named Steven Bardill opened his business of mining the limestone quarry behind what is now the restaurant, which is where a natural mineral spring was discovered. There are mixed stories as to how this mineral spring came about, but nonetheless, it became the origin for later naming the restaurant Diamond Mineral Springs. According to a complete history that was written by Ron (Johnny Rabbitt) Elz of KMOX, which you can pick up a copy of at Diamond Mineral Springs, Anton Kraft bought the land from Mr. Bardill and built a first-class 30 room inn, which he named the Windsor Hotel, along with cold mineral baths and a fine restaurant that specialized in “fresh” fried chicken dinners, which are made the same old-fashioned way today (minus the chicken shack) and served at Diamond Mineral Springs Restaurant. Today Brad Michael, along with his wife Vanessa, own Diamond Mineral Springs. They proudly display the rare photographs in the restaurant lobby of the beginnings of this historical landmark. Much of the original woodwork, some of the original decor and all of the stories are found within the walls of Diamond Mineral Springs today. Brad can tell you, from memory, who the different owners were, where the stories derived from and what year certain things happened.

December 16, 2010

He is a wealth of knowledge. As mentioned before, Diamond Mineral Springs prides itself on still serving the food that made it famous for more than 120 years – crispy, crunchy fried chicken or baked chicken – order all white, all dark or mixed – green beans, tangy pickled beets, cole slaw, applesauce and fluffy fresh hot biscuits. Their famous mashed potatoes are hand peeled and hand mashed (they literally hand peel thousands of potatoes each week) and are still one of the most talked about items on the menu. These menu items are served family style in the main dining room, along with a number of other entree choices. After a few family members threw around some ideas about a “back porch” barbecue of sorts, to be offered on certain days, the idea for what is now known as “The Back Porch” was born. After at least six additions over the years, the popularity of The Back Porch still continues to grow. Only open seasonally, April through October, for public dining, it is suggested to call and make reservations. The menu is a bit more upscale, serving a number steak offerings along with fish and other seafood. There are some great appetizers, along with salads and barbecue selections. The main dining room also hosts a seafood buffet nearly every Friday night, except for this year on Christmas Eve. The family style service will be open Christmas Eve from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. On Christmas Day, it is one of the restaurant’s busiest days. They serve their family style dining from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is suggested that you make a reservation, but walk-in’s are welcome. There just might be a

little wait. The main dining room and The Back Porch offer a full service bar at both locations. They have a large wine selection at very reasonable prices; try a Lambrusco, a Pinot Grigio or Pinot Noir, a Cabernet or a Merlot. If craft beers or micro brews suit you, they offer Boulevard Nutcracker for the holidays, Scrimshaw Pilsner, Sam Adams Winter Lager, Shiner Bock of Texas, Magic Hat – which has a touch of apricot – or Blue Moon. They also have a full selection of spirits for cocktails of all kinds. I would be remiss if I didn’t

mention the “foot hi pies” that they are legendary for. The lightas-heaven meringue pies come in many of flavors, including banana, coconut, chocolate and lemon. They also have a selection of fruit pies and amazing cheesecakes, so make sure to save room. If you are looking for last minute gifts, Diamond Mineral Springs can be your answer. If you buy four $20 gift certificates to any of their four affiliated restaurants (Buzzie’s in Highland, Powhatan in Pocahontas, Blue Springs Cafe in Highland or Diamond Mineral Springs in Grantfork), and yes, you can mix and match, you get a $20

gift certificate of your choice, free. That is a great bargain and can knock out a lot of last minute gift giving! If you just need a little something more, maybe pick up a jar of their homemade apple butter or a bar of handcrafted “Pie House” soaps, made by Amy Michael, Brad’s daughter-in-law, which come in a variety of lovely scents. For those who miss Loren Siever’s farm fresh eggs that he generally offers at the summer Goshen Market, miss no more. Diamond Mineral Springs is your off-season location to pick up a dozen or two. Just ask at the bar or one of the servers and they will be happy to fill your order. Don’t forget Diamond Mineral Springs when planning your class reunions, wedding receptions, birthday parties, anniversary parties or any other get-together that requires good food in a fun atmosphere. They take reservations all year long on both The Back Porch and in their banquet room that seats from 50 to 250. The restaurant is located at 1 West Pocahontas Rd., (also just off Highway 160), in Grantfork. It is just a 20 minute drive from Edwardsville and most other surrounding towns. They are normally open Wednesday through Saturday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Back Porch is open April through October, at 5 p.m. The exception is the holidays which were mentioned above. For reservations or more information, call 675-2655. You can also visit www.foothipies.com.

The Westview Wine Cellar & Bistro Taking Collinsville to new heights By DEBBIE SETTLE Of The Edge

f there is a perfect view of the sunset from a local business, the Westview Wine Cellar & Bistro can lay claim to it. Opening their doors in May of 2010 in the former “Sonny and Char’s” and the “Sky Bar” in Collinsville, the owners picked the perfect spot to open a relaxing location to enjoy a beverage and a bite and watch the sunset over downtown St. Louis.

Valerie Durley and Jan Smith, who happen to be sisters, had a vision to create a “winery” feel away from the vineyard and without the drive. When they saw the hilltop location become available, they began to make the plans to materialize their vision in a spot that has one of the most amazing views in the area. The Westview development consists of luxury condos, office space and the new bistro. It is in the location of what was the former Days Inn, the Horizon Hotel and The Orleans Hotel. The first phase of condos has been built for the development, with some still available and the second phase is in the planning works. When Durley and Smith visited the new development and saw the available space that would later become the new bistro, they immediately felt this was where their vision should be born. When you enter the bistro, you will notice the beautiful wood bar and wood cabinetry. All of this was created by Durley’s husband, Richard Eilering. Durley, Smith and Eilering, along with other friends and family, worked hard to rehabilitate and decorate the venue. Within two months, they had created the feel they were looking for, at least enough to open their doors. The center pieces for the décor are the artworks on the walls above the wine racks and the wooden

carving of the “Wayward Lady” that sits next to the craft beer cooler. These items came from a river boat that was owned previously by Durley and Eilering. The “Wayward Lady” was later named the Biloxi Belle Casino. The couple had hoped to bring the boat to the Metro East area and rehab it into an entertainment venue. But they received a great offer and decided to sell. However, not before they removed some of their favorite pieces. Since May of 2010, they have continued to add small touches to the décor, they added live music on Friday and Saturday nights, and they added a menu of a number of casual dishes. That is where sister number three comes in the picture, Gail Smith, who is the Bistro chef. There is a fourth sister in the clan who is a nurse, and except for a visit, she probably won’t join in with the trio. Gail Smith, (whose husband is of no relation to sister Jan Smith’s husband-last names are just a coincidence), creates the dishes that visitors enjoy. Appetizer examples include meat and cheese plate with crackers; brief (4.5 ounce) with crackers; garlic cheese bread with marinara dip; toasted ravioli with marinara dip; mini potato skins with ranch or sour cream and others. They offer soups, salads, and sandwiches. Some of the sandwich varieties include: smoked ham and gruyere with parmesan sauce, chicken, cheddar, bacon and ranch sandwich, club sandwich, ham or turkey on croissant, cheddar melt with ham or turkey and a gourmet three cheese grilled cheese. All sandwiches come with chips, a fruit cup or applesauce. There are some light entrees – gourmet ravioli (six) served with garlic bread. If you are a fondue lover, you can enjoy parmesan fondue for two or chocolate fondue for two. If you have a sweet tooth, you can have a slice of tiramisu. They offer a full selection of TJ’s Pizzas, along with a couple selections of flatbread pizzas that are their own creations.

The main highlight is the selection of wines, which is growing all the time. They began with about 15 selections and now have over 70 wines from around the world. Maybe you would enjoy a Hudson Shah Cabernet Sauvignon or an excellent red blend from Kennedy Shah. You may enjoy by the glass or by the bottle. You can also stop in and pick up a bottle for gift giving. A bottle of wine is always a perfect hostess gift. Along with the wines, they offer over 37 different beers, mostly craft beers. They have beers from

O’Fallon Brewing Co., Hemp Hop & Rye and Schlafly. They have some great ales with citrus, blueberry, peach and even pumpkin flavors. You can also enjoy your favorite domestic bottle beers, including Miller Lite and Guiness. If you are in the mood for something a little stronger, there are a limited amount spirits available: Crown Royal, Elija Craig-a 12 year old bourbon, Patron Tequila, Obana 14 year old single malt scotch and Famous Grouse scotch. They are also adding seasonal coffees and cordials for the winter. The wine bar and bistro can seat

about 50 people and has a beautiful fire place near the center of the room. There is also a large patio, which in winter is covered by a very nice tent that is heated and has a “fire ball” in the center that seats several more. In the summer it is open air and a perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail in the summer evening breezes. There really is no better place in the Metro East to see a beautiful sunset over the St. Louis skyline. The panoramic view is like no other. In the evening, the city lights set the scene for a romantic ambiance or just the right backdrop for a party or night out with a group of friends. The wine bar and bistro does offer their facilities for parties of all kinds, weddings, rehearsal dinners, and more. Just call to find out about availability. The hours are Wednesday and Thursday, 4:30 pm. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 4:30 p.m. to midnight; and Sunday, noon to 6 p.m.; closed Monday and Tuesday. For more information or to find out about reservations, call 223-8181, or email: wineinfo@ westviewwinecellar.com. The wine tastings are always free and there will be upcoming special wine tastings. They are also in the beginnings of forming The Westview Wine Cellar Wine Club. For information about these, visit www.westviewwinecellar.com and make sure to sign up for their email newsletters. The Westview Wine Cellar and Bistro is located at 1803 Ramada Blvd., Suite B101 (lower level) in Collinsville. It is on the bluffs up above Motel 6 and Denny’s.

New cookie recipes are a holiday hit NEW YORK (AP) – It’s time to get fancy. Because no holiday cookie selection is complete without something that inspires a “Wow!” So to crank up the Wow!-factor, we created a deliciously sweet cookie that looks, smells and tastes like a cinnamon stick. But impressive cookies come at a price, albeit an affordable one. These cookies require a bit more care when baking than the rest of the cookies in this series. They must be shaped into the classic rolled cinnamon stick as soon as they come out of the oven. They also can be cooked only 2 to 4 cookies at a time. Finally, some special equipment is handy when making these. A silicon baking mat is very helpful. These nonstick baking sheet liners are available at kitchen, baking and craft shops, and make it easier to remove and roll the cookies. An offset spatula — the sort used for frosting cakes — also is helpful. CINNAMON BARK STICKS Start to finish: 2 hours Makes 36 sticks 8 large egg whites 2 cups sugar, plus 1/4 cup 2 cups all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1/3 cup heavy cream Brown gel food coloring 2 teaspoons cinnamon Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicon baking mat. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk together the egg whites and 2 cups of sugar until foamy. Add the flour and salt and mix to incorporate. Add the cinnamon extract, butter and cream, then beat again until completely smooth. In small amounts, add the brown food coloring a drop at a time until desired

color is reached, stirring thoroughly between additions. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Scoop a teaspoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a small offset spatula spread the batter thinly and evenly into a rectangle about 2by-5-inches. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you should be able to fit 2 to 4 cookies on at a time. Sprinkle each rectangle lightly with the cinnamon-sugar. Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes, or until the surface looks dry. The edges should not be browned. Working quickly and as soon as the baking sheet comes out of the over, one at a time use a spatula to flip each rectangle over. Tightly roll both long sides of each rectangle toward the center, similar to forming a scroll. Set aside to cool and repeat in batches with remaining dough. ••• It’s time to decorate. We decided it was time to get out the sprinkles, fancy sugars and other decorative cookie embellishments. We created a basic cut cookie, which we formed into wreaths. But if you’d rather decorate trees, holly leaves or other design, go for it. Once the cookies have cooled, they are drizzled with candy melts. These candies, which resemble small disks, are widely available in grocery stores, as well as baking and craft stores. They melt well, firm up when cooled and are available in numerous colors. Be sure to get a variety of sprinkles, colored sugars and other edible decorations. PISTACHIO WREATH CUTOUT COOKIES Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Makes 24 cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup shelled raw pistachio meats

Pulse until the nuts are finely ground. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar and almond extract. Mix on medium until creamy. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Form the dough into a disk, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. When the dough is chilled, heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or line them with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to slightly less than 1/4 inch thick. Using a 3-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds from the dough, combining and rerolling the scraps once. Use a 1-inch fluted round cutter to remove the center from each round of dough. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. When ready to decorate, place about a quarter of the candy melts in a glass measuring cup and

this method, add the food coloring at the same time as the extract and whip in for a uniform color. Using the piping bag allows you to create stripes on the cookies. MERINGUES Start to finish: 8 hours (30 minutes active) Makes 48 cookies 4 egg whites, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 cup superfine sugar 2 teaspoons raspberry extract Red or pink gel food coloring Heat the oven to 250 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. A tablespoon at a time, add the sugar while continuing to beat. When all the sugar has been added, continue to beat to until the whites form stiff, glossy peaks. Stir in the extract. Fit a piping bag with a large star pastry tip. On the inside of the piping bag, brush a couple stripes of the gel food coloring. Spoon the meringue into the bag. Add a little dab of the meringue under the corners of the parchment paper to prevent the paper from moving on the baking sheet. Pipe 1 1/2-inch stars onto the prepared sheets, then place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn off the oven. Leave the meringues in the oven (without opening the door) overnight. In the morning, peel the meringues from the parchment paper and store in an airtight container.

microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth. The melted candy can be spread, spooned or drizzled over the cookies. You also can overturn the cookies and dip the top sides in the melted candy. Wo r k i n g s o m e w h a t q u i c k l y (while the candy coating is still soft), sprinkle decorating sugars, sprinkles and other candies over the wreaths. Repeat by melting additional candy melts, drizzling and decorating until all of the cookies are finished. Allow the cookies to harden completely, then store between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container. •• • Time to lighten up the holiday cookie scene. We took a healthy-ish turn and opted for meringues, a crisp-chewy fat-free cookie made from whipped egg whites and sugar. We flavored them with raspberry extract, but you could use any flavor you like. If you change the flavor, consider also changing the food coloring to match. The recipe calls for using a piping bag, which is a bag which can be fitted with a metal tip and used to squeeze the whipped egg whites into mounds on the baking sheets. These are widely available at baking and craft shops, as well as in the baking aisle of many grocers. Using a piping bag with a decorative tip will produce the most attractive cookies. But if you don’t have a piping bag, you also could simply spoon the mixture into mounds. If you opt for

Intelligencer photographer Rachael Wilbur stands with her award-winning shot, "Breakfast 3-25-09."

Through Rachael’s lens Intelligencer photographer honored at Jacoby Arts Center competition

By JULIE BIGGS Of The Edge

achael Wilbur, photographer for the Edwardsville Intelligencer, recently was awarded third place in the “Fact and Fiction: The State of Contemporary Photography” Juried Art Show at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton. Juried by Steven Brown, Head of the Photography Area for the Department of Art and Design at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, the show is currently running at the Jacoby Arts Center located at 627 East Broadway in Alton through Jan. 9. Brown selected pieces from the work of 16 artists, who were among 29 applicants nationwide, to represent the contemporary photographer ’s relationship with meaning through manipulation of subject, object and medium. Twenty-four of the 83 entered photographs are

displayed in the show. Wilbur, a 2009 graduate of SIUE with a BFA (Bachelors of Fine Arts), said that this was the first show she had entered and that she entered three of her pieces. “I was surprised to get all three pieces in,” she said. One of her pieces, “Breakfast 3-25-09” placed third in the competition. “They responded to it really well. It’s a nice feeling to have your work accepted,” Wilbur said about her award. While Wilbur remains busy with her photography responsibilities for the Intelligencer, she plans to produce more pieces to enter into competitions with the goal of building her portfolio and returning to graduate school. “I really want to get into the studio and make new work to build my portfolio,” she said. “I loved school, and I want to go back.” “The Fact and Fiction: The State of Contemporary Photography” show continues through Jan. 9. Hours that the exhibit will be open are: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. The art center is closed Mondays and will be closed

Sunday, Dec. 26 as well as Sundays in January, February and March. Brown will host a juror ’s talk in the gallery at 7 p.m. on Dec. 7. “My talk will have the same title as the exhibition and will be a brief survey of several decisive historical incidents in which a photograph had been manipulated or 'set up' so as to present a convincing fictionalized version of the truth,” Brown said.

The Arts Artistic adventures 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

December 16, 2010

of “Rock Theater” and the muchanticipated 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.

A Beloved Holiday Play with a New Twist The Rep’s Imaginary Theatre Company (ITC) presents The Nutcracker, playing at Heagney Theatre at Nerinx Hall High School December 18, 20 and 21, 2010 The Imaginary Theatre Company, the young audiences touring ensemble of The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, will present its own original version of The Nutcracker this holiday season. The Nutcracker is based on the original story by E.T.A. Hoffman and was adapted by playwright Sarah Brandt and composer Neal Richardson. The performance is a musical, incorporating elements of the well-known ballet and beloved Tchaikovsky score into a 50-minute performance suitable for all ages. The Rep’s Imaginary Theatre Company, supported by a $25,000 grant from the Monsanto Fund, will present The Nutcracker on Dec. 18, 20 and 21, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Heagney Theatre on the campus of Nerinx Hall High School. Tickets are $6. “The Rep is honored to team up with the Monsanto Fund,” said Steve Woolf, artistic director of The Rep. “We are thrilled that we can share our production of The Nutcracker with more audiences because of receiving this funding.” The Rep’s Imaginary Theatre Company series includes three productions performed at schools,

libraries and community centers throughout the St. Louis area October through April. The series introduces live theatre to children through the use of literature, folk tales, fairy tales and new adaptations of classic works and also includes special public performances. “The Monsanto Fund is proud to support The Rep’s Imaginary Theatre Company and its pursuit to expose young people in our community to live theatre,” said Deborah Patterson, president, the Monsanto Fund. “Experiencing these high-quality live performances, like The Nutcracker, inspires children to expand and apply their own creativity.” The cast of The Nutcracker is Ann Ashby as Marie, Lakeetha Blakeney as Mother, Mouse, Fairy and Townsperson, Jordan Reinwald as Godfather, Mouse King, Fairy and Mayor, and Christian Vieira as Father, Nutcracker and Fritz. The creative staff also includes Scott Loebl, scenic designer; Dorothy Marshall Englis, costume designer; Ellen Isom, choreographer; and Danny Maly, stage manager.

the strength to face it? Readers of all ages have embraced Lois Lowry’s “The Giver,” a classic of contemporary science fiction and winner of the 1994 Newberry Medal. To date, the book has sold more than 5 million copies. This January, Metro Theater Company and the Edison at Washington University in St. Louis will join forces to produce the St. Louis premier of a powerful stage adaptation by playwright Eric Coble. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 7, in Edison Theatre and continue through Jan. 23. Each performance will be immediately followed by a discussion exploring provocative questions raised by the story. The play is recommended for adults and young people 10 and over. Tickets are $12 to $16 and are available at the Edison Theatre Box Office or www.metrotix.com. Edison Theatre is located in the university’s Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd. For more information, call the Box Office at (314) 935-6543 or call Metro Theater at (314) 997-6777. The Giver The Giver centers on young Jonas, who has been selected by the elders of his community to become the new Receiver of Memory. The old man known as The Giver has held the memory of all that has been stripped away – poverty, pain, war, strife – and now he must pass on that burden. Little by little, Jonas discovers the community has systematically given up much of what gives life its meaning: Color, music, truth and love. At the end of the story, Jonas faces a decision that will define him and set a path toward hope. “The Giver is a modern classic that should be read and discussed

by any thinking person, regardless of age,” says Tim Wadham, assistant director for Youth and Community Services for the St. Louis County Library, which will co-sponsor a talk by Lowry on April 15. “This is a book that brings generations together.” Carol North, artistic director of Metro Theater Company — who directs the cast of 11 — notes that, “I am approaching this transformative play with all the respect and humility it deserves. Each of us at Metro and at Edison want the profound message of The Giver to reach all who see it.” Charlie Robin, executive director of Edison, concurs. “While this story was new to me, I was thrilled to discover the excitement and impact it has had on the younger generations over the past 17 years. This engaging tale asks all the right questions and provides a forum for discussion that will keep us all talking for years to come.” The cast is led by Nicholas Kryah, resident artist and technical director at Metro Theater Company, in the title role; and by Mitchell List and Christian Probst, who share the role of Jonas. (On Jan. 22, during the run of The Giver, Kryah will celebrate the 5,000th stage performance of his remarkable 34-year career.) Completing the cast are Stephanie Strohman, David Wassilak, Elijah Brown, Sydney Dorton, Berklea Going, Stephanie Koo, Ian Miller and Anna Nielsen. Music is by composer and percussionist Lance Garger, a guest artist with Metro Theatre. Choreographer is Beckah Reed. The design team includes Lou Bird, Dunsi Dai, Stephanie Strohman, John Wylie and Rusty Wandall. Sarah Rugo is production manager.
