EDWARDSVILLE — The neighborhood market, by which nearby communities’ and farmers’ markets set their bar, is about to open for its 24th season.

The Land of Goshen Community Market in Edwardsville, Illinois, became a model for its community and an outreach to its own and other communities. Its opening day is Saturday, May 11, in Downtown Edwardsville.

Market hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Satur-

days through October.

Founders Jamie and Sharon Henderson, of Edwardsville, started the Land of Goshen Community Market in 1997. As big fans of a farmers’ market in Madison, Wisconsin, the couple not only decided to try one in Edwardsville, but also thought it would be a success. And, rightly so.

“They did it,’” said Goshen Market board member Emily Morrison, who’s the Goshen Market board secretary. “They said, ‘We can do this in Edwardsville.’ It started with just the main part of St. Louis Street.

MARKET Continued from Page 4 through its programs, including Farm To School; The Beet Box; and, Market Sprouts, a program held during Goshen Market hours for children to learn the value of growing their own food. Additionally, the event helps the foundation share fresh produce and food to in-need families and individuals, as well as provide more locally grown produce for purchase to Goshen Market visitors.

The fourth annual Burgers & Brews bash will take place Saturday, June 29.

“It has really taken off,” Morrison noted to The Edge. “We partnered with Edwardsville restaurants and, through the meat vendors from the market, those restaurants make handcrafted sliders and ticket-holders vote on their favorite slider.

It’s just a magnificent feast.”

Bill Tucker|For The Edge A vendor sets up at the Land of Goshen Community Market, opening for its 24th season Saturday, May 11, in Downtown Edwardsville.

Burgers & Brews includes live acoustic music, as well as yard games on the Goshen Market Green, located on St. Louis Street, across from the market’s information tent.

“It’s been selling out very, very quickly,” Morrison said.

“It is capped at two hundred tickets so that the event will stay intimate with room for the activities, to maintain the concept of the event of people communing on the green.”

Sprouts program gives children experience with fresh produce.

“They get access to vegetables and food that they might not try if it was just on a plate,” Morrison explained.

“They really get into it. They

get a stamp when they visit Market Sprouts’ booth to get seeds.”

The Beet Box, a mobile market, is one of the Goshen Market’s biggest projects of the last decade.

“There are five different stops, reaching areas that are classified as food deserts (locations that don’t have a grocery store within a onemile radius),” Morrison said.

Starting in May (until October), The Beet Box will make stops at Fairmont City, the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus, Granite City, Madison and AgeSmart in O’Fallon, Illinois. A new destination will be the Edwardsville YMCA Meyer Center’s Early Childhood Center in Glen Carbon’s Cottonwood neighborhood, where many residents are unable to easily access grocery stores.

“It’s a great residential area with the potential to reach a lot of recipients,” Morrison noted.

Community support, in turn, thrives for Goshen Market.

The Metro East Rotary Club donated “veggieforward” books, which volunteers read to children who live within The Beet Box’s jurisdiction.

“The Beet Box program in high-need areas provides not only fresh food, but also education,” Morrison noted.

The Edwardsville Rotary Club is a Market Sprouts sponsor and the club funded the raised beds used by Sprouts at the Market Green on Saturday mornings.

The Land of Goshen Community Market also showcases local artists, who sell their one-of-a-kind artworks at the market.

“It’s an ag-based market, but we definitely value the artisans’ portion (which is kept at a lower percentage than the agriculture vendors). We conduct the artists

Love and war

‘The Aftermath’ not so much a history lesson

By Robert D. Grubaugh Contributing columnist

I had narrowed down my moviegoing options a couple weeks ago to three options. Two were World War II-era dramas centered around intimate relationships and the other a loud new comedy about an aggressive businesswoman aging backward into her snotty pre-teen self; which seemed to me to be very similar to “Big,” Tom Hanks’ great breakout from the ’80s — except this one, called “Little,” I scorned, based purely on the laziness of its title. So, my wrath temporarily abated, I opted for the safer of my two Word War II movies — “The Aftermath.” (But, I’m going to cheat a little and also admit to going a few days later to see that other one, “Transit.” Ain’t I a stinker?)

“The Aftermath,” based on the novel of the same name by Rhidian Brook, is set in Hamburg, Germany, just after V-E Day, officially known as Victory in Europe Day, May 8, 1945, marking the formal acceptance of Nazi Germany armed forces’ unconditional surrendor. “The

Aftermath,” not so much a history lesson, is a peek behind the curtain of a military marriage and what war can do to shatter that union.

British Colonel Lewis Morgan (Jason Clarke, coincidentally also the lead of my recent On The Edge Of The Weekend review of “Pet Sematary”) has been stationed in Hamburg to lead the security forces of the post-war rebuild and help ferret out which of the German survivors were victims and which survivors were perpetrators of high crimes under the Third Reich. Joining Morgan on this long-duration assignment is his wife, Rachael (Keira Knightley). The couple have been separated for quite a while and the violence of the war is only secondary to the gulf between them. But Rachael, and maybe Lewis, doesn’t own up to the condition of their marriage, which ended the day their young son died in the Blitz and Lewis failed to return on leave to bury him. That would be hard thing to help sustain any couple’s relationship.

Instead, Rachael tries to make a fresh start elsewhere in Germany where they are lodged in a large

MARKET Continued from Page 5 jurying process as a comittee, around two months before the market opens,” Morrison explained. “Just like we want the food to be grown within a hundred mile radius, we also want art that’s not mass produced, to ensure a local emphasis.”

Goshen Market co-founder, Sharon Henderson, an artist with a passion for visual arts, wanted the market to be a culture maker in the community.

“There’s a satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting what you love,” Morrison said.

Morrison received her bachelor’s and master’s in English from SIUE.

For The Edge Fresh produce from regional farmers is among the big draws at the Land of Goshen Community Market.

“The relationship between the university and the community is so vital,” Morrison

said. “The market is such an asset, and we want students to have access to it. We want students to be aware of it being Downtown. SIUE is a food desert and the market provides vendors a chance to sell mid-week, which is a desire we heard about and wanted to accommodate.”

The Beet Box truck also is parked at SIUE on Tuesday nights, exclusively for SIUE students, offering its bounty at a discount.

“A large portion of the produce used for The Beet Box, we buy from Goshen Market vendors and they also donate quite a bit. They’re incredibly generous,” Morrison said.

Another source of The Beet Box’s produce comes from the Goshen Market Foundation’s Food For Friends program. Market patrons can buy extra produce and

Stefan is grateful, but suspicious.

His daughter takes the opportunity to be calculating in her defection to young Hitler Youth resistance

operator Jannik Schumann. Their questionable relationship is the uninteresting B-plot of the movie.

Instead, “The Aftermath” is largely about the affair that Stefan and Rachael conduct to help thwart their mutual, similar pain. It’s especially steamy, but also somewhat understated. Keeping the secret from Lewis is a tad on the manipulative and manufactured side, but the movie is not really all that daring in the first place.

“The Aftermath” is a solid movie, but it’s not especially memorable in any way, having the same “sexy” foundation as “Allied” (a much better espionage film, with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard) yet leaving less importance on either the Morgans’ marriage or service to country. This is Clarke’s second pairing with Knightley, cast as his wife, the other being “Everest,” and that movie would get a similar summation from me — good, not great.

“The Aftermath” runs 108 minutes and is rated R for sexual content/ nudity and violence, including some disturbing images. I give this film two stars out of four.

Who’s who in the Land of Goshen Community Market The Land of Goshen Community Market Board of Directors Goshen Market co-founder and President Sharon Henderson Vice President Candice Watson Treasurer Jessica DeSpain Secretary Emily Morrison Market Managers Tara Pohlman and Candice Watson, who oversee day-today operations for the Market alongside a group of committee members, who include: Pohlman, Watson, Morrison, Donna Charleston, Sherry Chase, Jessica DeSpain, Jamie Henderson (also Goshen Market co-founder), Sharon Henderson, Patty Herman, Sherrie Hickman, Jane Muscroft, David Reinhardt and Janice Reinhardt donate it at a table near the Market’s information tent; the donated produce then is sold at The Beet Box truck for 25 cents each. ”If it hasn’t sold at the end of the day, it’s given away and the money goes back to the foundation for more pro-

duce,” Morrison explained.

Last year, the foundation collected nearly one ton of food through the Food For Friends program.

“I’m so proud of the Goshen Market. I’m not a food grower myself, but when Jessica DeSpain, a long-time

committee member, president of the foundation and a force of nature, invited me to be a part of the Market committee, I jumped at the chance,” Morrison recalled.

Edwardsville walks for clean water EDWARDSVILLE — On Saturday, May 4, Newsong Fellowship will host a local site of the World Vision Global 6K for Water.

This year Newsong is partnering with Immanuel United Methodist Church (who are also 6K host site alumni) and, together, they expect more than 125 participants. This event is part of a global movement comprised of host sites throughout the United States, as well as sites in more than 20 other countries (including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and the U.K.).

Participants will walk or run six kilometers (3.7 miles) for an extraordinary cause — bringing clean water to children and their families.

Six kilometers is the average distance people — usually women and girls — walk to fetch water for their families and homes in the developing world. Often the walk is dangerous, children miss school, and the water is dirty.

Each day, nearly 1,000 children younger than age 5 die from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation and improper hygiene — more than AIDS and malaria combined.

But thankfully, clean water frees children from deadly diseases, liberates women and children from a life spent gathering dirty water, and opens the door to education, a promising future and a full life.

Every $50 registration ($25 for youth) in the Global 6K for Water provides clean water to one person.

Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a medal, and will walk or run wearing a race bib featuring a photo of the child receiving clean water.

Today, nearly 90 percent of the global population has access to clean water, and organizers believe that local communities can help bring clean water to everyone in part through the Global 6K for

Dave Fredman, for whom Uncle Dave’s Mattresses and Stuff is named, came to the United States in 1910, the first Fredman family member to cross the Atlantic, generations ago, and eventually moved to Collinsville in 1915. In 1914, at the start of World War I, Harry Fredman followed in his brother’s footsteps, landing first in Belleville, Illinois. In 1919, the brothers opened Fredman Bros. Furniture Store, at Clay and Center streets, in Collinsville, Illinois.

DAVE’S Continued from Page 11 grocery and men’s clothing businesses and the Fredman brothers took over. They also bought the state bank building, at 102 W. Main St., in Collinsville in 1918. Then, in 1919, Schwartz talked the brothers into buying out his large furniture store, also on Main Street.

Dave lived upstairs where there were some apartments and Harry lived in the back of the store.

In the 1920s, the Fredman brothers expanded their small business. When leases were up in the furniture store building, they remodeled the state bank building, where they moved the business in 1925.

Page reflects on Led Zeppelin's legacy and its sound

AP Photo/Seth Wenig Some of the instruments that former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page used to create his sound are on display an exhibition called “Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

By JOHN CARUCCI Associated Press When Jimmy Page was a young student, he had already developed such an inseparable relationship with his guitar that school officials would often confiscate it.

"It would be given back at the end of the day. And this was quite repetitive," Page said.

That dedication worked out pretty well for Page, who took Led Zeppelin to the zenith as one of the most powerful outfits in rock history.

Now some of the instruments that he used to create that Zeppelin sound are on display at an exhibition called "Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Seven of Page's guitars, a few costumes and some of his equipment have been loaned to the exhibit, alongside dozens of guitars, drums and memorabilia from such legends as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley and John Lennon.

While visiting the exhibition, Page sat down with The Associated Press to discuss

the band's legacy, why its music has endured and prospects for another reunion concert.

AP: How frustrating are the Led Zeppelin reunion questions? You weren't completely happy with Live Aid or the 40th anniversary concert for Atlantic Records in 1988. What about the 2007 concert in London?

Page: I'm rather pleased that we did it, because we sort of looked still similar to what we looked now, and, yeah, we did a really good job. But I don't think there's going to be another one.

Zeppelin was far ahead of the curve...

important is it?

Page: I'd like to think that it was, because the first album, I sort of knew, as we were doing the tracks, exactly how I was going to layer everything and the textures of them....

There's a variety of moods on 'Led Zeppelin I.' So, again, it was me challenging and pushing as far as I possibly could, not even thinking of my limitations, just going beyond, beyond, beyond.

Page: That guitar I had way back in the early '60s. And it's been with me all the way through, to the point where I used it as a writing tool... That particular guitar is the vehicle whereby the first album for Led Zeppelin is written, the second album is written, the third album is written, the fourth album is written and it's the guitar that actually culminates with playing 'Stairway to Heaven.'

AP: Let's talk about your earliest recollection with the guitar.

AP: What's it like having your guitars in the Met?

AP: Why has the Led Zeppelin catalogue endured?

Page: I was taking my guitar to school so that I could play at recess because I became so involved with it, we became inseparable. I had to do my academic studies, that was the deal I had with my dad. And the rest of the time I could play guitar. So, I took that one step further: I would take that to school and play at recess.

Page: You approach the gallery through Greco-Roman statues, and then the first thing you see is Chuck Berry's guitar. I said, 'What?

The original one, the blond one,' and they said, 'Yes.' And I said, 'What would you like?

Tell me what you want to help this along and you can have whatever it is that you want.'

Page: It approaches so many different styles and moods and it's very passionate.

And it also very gentle. And it's very hard.

And it's extremely dynamic.

If anybody wants to be playing the guitar, the harmonica, the drums, the bass, the keyboards — well, it's all there. And it's organic music where everyone is playing together. I think it's a great legacy to have produced, to be honest.

AP: Your guitar work for Led

AP: You gave them your Sovereign Harmony acoustic guitar. How

For The Edge The Goshen Market Foundation’s Market Sprouts program, which takes place during Goshen Market hours, gives children experience with fresh produce, providing access to vegetables and food that they might not otherwise try when served casually on a dinner plate. Children can visit the Market Sprouts’ booth to get free seeds from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturdays, starting May 11, in Downtown Edwardsville.

MARKET Continued from Page 7 Downtown, and walking to the Market on Saturday mornings is always part of our weekend routine.

“We love to visit farmers’ markets when we go on vacation in different cities and I’m really impressed by what we’ve accomplished here in Edwardsville compared to these major cities. Our market is a cultural and community asset.”

See MARKET, Page 20

For The Edge One of the many special aspects of shopping at the Land of Goshen Community Market is getting to know the farmers and growers who work so hard to bring their beautiful offerings to market.

Devin C. DiDominicus, of Edwardsville, associate attorney with Edwardsville-based Swanson & Sackett P.C. “There’s a mushroom booth that’s really good.

They’ve had some morels, which is the first time I got to try them and some really good shiitake mushrooms — I cook a lot. There’s all kinds of real high-quality meats there, too. I’ve never been disappointed.”

Sheila Ruth, of Edwardsville, retired SIUE professor of philosophy “Fresh chicken livers from a lady who ran a farm not far from here. I was thrilled because those are hard to find anywhere. My husband went every Saturday morning, without fail.

You can find cuts of meat you can’t find in the store.”

Food for Thought …with Vicki Bennington

Livin’ On the Edge

If you’re out for a drive on a Sunday afternoon, and it’s not quite dinner time, but you are a little hungry, it’s time to figure out a solution.

Try “happy hour” at EdgeWild Edwardsville — this was not a happy hour chosen by the restaurant, but rather a self-guided one, though there is an EdgeWild timeframe on weekdays with special happy hour pricing. On this particular Sunday afternoon, a Chardonnay and a Riesling, along with ice-cold water started it off just right (and I don’t even know what time it was — let’s call it “late afternoon”).

Not wanting to get so full we wouldn’t enjoy dinner later when we met with friends,

but yet needing (wanting) something to stop the hunger pangs (a sensation even if the body does not need food), we decided to share two EdgeWild choices from its appetizer menu: New Orleans Cajun shrimp with grilled baguette and table breads, with roasted garlic oil, chipotle-honey butter and tomato-basil sauce for dipping. I have to say, the shrimp didn’t look as good as I thought it would, but the TASTE made up for any visual shortcomings, and the grilled baguette was tasty.

We weren’t sure what to expect with table breads — maybe a basket of assorted breads? Instead, they came in the form of seasoned breadsticks, which were perfectly fine. And,

there were enough to allow us both to sample the three dipping choices. All three were good.

But my favorite — the chipotlehoney butter.

Duck tacos are another starter that might catch your eye, with smoked duck breast, jicama-poblano salsa (I found out that the jicama is a watery root vegetable and the poblano is a mild chili pepper), shaved Brussel sprouts, chipotle-dark cherry aioli and flour tortillas. These certainly are not your mother’s tacos.

Roasted garlic-stout mussels, brisket mac ‘n’ cheese, traditional hummus, the popular chicken wings and more provide a variety of choices to either “tide See FOOD, Page 23

Continued from Page 22 you over” or get your appetite rolling.

If you’re there for either lunch or dinner, the menu really gets extensive. After the appetizers, there are soups, including chicken tortilla or crab chowder; several choices of salads; and, my favorite, Buddha bowls with chicken, tuna or salmon.

Hearty sandwiches, such as pulled pork, baked Italian and brisket burnt ends are oversized and filling. The burgers are huge.

There’s even an “impossible” burger — impossibly with no meat. The All American Burger is offered for $5 on Tuesdays.

Entrée choices include everything from chicken to steak, étouffée, salmon, pork chops and meatloaf. Of course, all have a special spin to set them apart, as in the meatloaf made with bison and wrapped in bacon!

You can even get pizza.

The dessert menu lists seasonal cobbler — OK, I have to stop by here again, just for dessert sometime.

If you’re interested in beer, EdgeWild has around 30 varieties on tap. Wine lovers can choose from a number of EdgeWild wines, as well as other labels. EdgeWild’s Wine Down Wednesday features half-price bottles of wine, all day — up to a $99 value — Wow! — that might be a good day of the week to try something extra special.

EdgeWild Edwardsville’s kitchen serves until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. On Sundays, brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by dinner from 3 to 9 p.m.

The day we were there, it was still a little too chilly to eat outside, but the large patio will definitely be inviting when our Midwestern spring finally arrives for good.

Bieber, Grande join Lil Dicky for Earth Day video NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Leonardo DiCaprio have joined rapper-comedian Lil Dicky on a new song and video aimed at bringing awareness to climate change and Earth Day, which was last Monday.

Dicky released the animated clip for the song "Earth," where Bieber is a baboon and

Grande is a zebra. The video, featuring 32 artists, also stars Ed Sheeran (koala), Miley Cyrus (elephant), Shawn Mendes (rhino), Katy Perry (pony) and Kevin Hart as Kanye West.

Dicky says he "didn't really realize how Left to right, Wendy Grant, of Edwardsville, insane our climate crisis is and how screwed and Paula Swierczek, of Columbia, Illinois “Lilies from a farm outside of Edwardsville.” humanity is about to be."

Review: New doc shows how Beyoncé changed Coachella, forever

By MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

Beyoncé is extremely private, and only lets you know what she wants you to know, when she wants you to know it — typically, in a surprise post be it on her website or Instagram.

But throughout the years, she's slightly cracked open her door to reveal parts of her life and personality — apart from what she gives through strong singing and extraordinary dance moves — to help remind us that though she is epic and flawless, she is still mortal.

"HOMECOMING: A film by Beyoncé," which premiered Wednesday on Netflix, captures the human side of the superstar singer with behind-the-scenes, intimate moments of a mother, wife and artist tirelessly working on what's already become one of most iconic musical performances of all-time: Beyoncé's headlining show at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The performance marked the first time a black woman headlined the famed festival and made Beyoncé just the third woman to score the gig, behind Bjork and Lady Gaga.

Beyoncé took on the role seriously — as she does all live performances — giving the audience a rousing, terrific and new show highlighted by a full marching band, majorette dancers, steppers and more that is the norm at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

The film takes it a step further to showcase what was happening to get to the historic moment: you see a mother bouncing back from giving birth to twins via an emergency C-section; an African American woman embracing her family's history and paying tribute to black college culture and honoring black art; and the world's No. 1 pop star defying the odds yet again and pushing herself to new heights, creating an even wider space between herself and whoever is No. 2.

Simply put, Beyoncé changed Coachella — forever — and performing after her is like trying to out-ace Serena Williams or dunk better than Michael Jordan: You won't win.

Woven into the film are audio soundbites from popular figures to help narrate the story: Nina Simone speaks about blackness, Maya Angelou talks about truth, and Tessa Thompson and Danai Gurira explain the importance of seeing people who look like you on large screens.

The performance marked the first time a black woman headlined the famed festival and made Beyoncé just the third woman to score the gig, behind Bjork and Lady Gaga.

Parkwood Entertainment/Netflix via AP Beyoncé speaks, too, saying that she This image released by Netflix shows Beyonce in a scene from her documentary "Homecoming: dreamed of attending an HBCU, though she A Film by Beyoncé." explains: "My college was Destiny's Child."

She also says the importance of her Coachella performance was to bring "our culture to Coachella" and highlight "everyone that had never seen themselves represented."

So many people were represented during those performances last April — her stage was packed with about 200 performers, from dancers to singers to band and orchestra players. Beyoncé kicked of the performance dressed like an African queen, walking up the stage as the jazzy, soulful big band sound of New Orleans is played. After letting her dancers and backing band shine, she emerges again, this time dressed down — like a studious, eager, hopeful college student.

The musical direction and song selection flows effortlessly and was purposely crafted to tell a story: the first song is 2003's "Crazy In Love," a massively successful No. 1 hit and her first apart from Destiny's Child. It also was Beyoncé's first of many collaborations with Jay-Z. But then comes "Freedom," representing the Beyoncé of today, unconcerned with having a radio or streaming hit, but more focused on the art, and the message.

And her message was loud and clear on "HOMECOMING": Her performance is a homage to the culturally rich homecoming events held annually at HBCUs, but also showcases Beyoncé's own homecoming — her return to her roots, and how she's found a new voice by reinterpreting her music through the lens of black history.

Young, gifted and black, indeed.
