Customers at Delaney’s on Broadway don’t just leave with full stomachs. They exit with educations. “We try to help people with anything they might need to know about,” said Pete Delaney, owner of the Goreville restaurant. “I tell people I may not know the answer to everything but I bet I can find someone who can help them.” Delaney loves to share stories and advice with his regulars and new customers alike. It’s that personal touch, he says, that helps set Delaney’s apart from other restaurants. “We like to show people that it’s a nice community even though it’s off the beaten path,” Delaney said. “It’s worth the trip because of the folks you run into.” You never know who you’ll find at Delaney’s, including a customer who sounds like Johnny Cash and another who looks like Newt Gingrich. “I think we have pseudo celebrities walking in here every day,” Delaney joked. Delaney grew up in Elizabeth, N.J., not far from New York City. He and his wife, Dorothy Gail, moved to Southern Illinois 32 years ago. They

bought the restaurant – then called Late Bloomers — seven years ago. The menu at Delaney’s is down-home, comfort food. Customers are offered two specials each day, from Monday’s chicken and dumplings or pork chops to Friday’s meatloaf or fish. Delaney’s also features steaks on Saturday nights and a full line of soups, chili, salads and sandwiches. And don’t forget about dessert. “We get the most compliments on our homemade pies,” Delaney said. A mail carrier in Murphysboro by day, Delaney is a storyteller by night. He helps greet customers and bus tables, while his daughter Sarah handles day-to-day operations. “We encourage conversation here,” Delaney said. “You don’t just sit off in a corner by yourself. Well, you can but
at the same time, it’s great to interact with people.” Some of Delaney’s most interesting customers are cyclists who come off the popular Bike Trail of America that snakes through Goreville. “We have people come through here from all over the U.S., Europe, Australia,” Delaney said. “It’s remarkable to get into conversations with people from all over. You find out that it is a small world.” Delaney’s offers riders a free dessert, takes their photo to display and keeps a journal so they can share their stories. On a trip to Hawaii visiting relatives, Delaney met a man who used computer graphics to create military-themed art, which led him to start a veteran’s wall to display photos of local veterans that family members have brought to the restaurant. The display contains nearly 100 framed photos

of veterans and receives a lot of positive feedback among the community and visitors. Veterans also eat for free at Delaney’s on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. “We salute the veterans,” Delaney said. “Every time we get the opportunity we like to salute our veterans. We should all stand up and applaud. It’s a great gesture to the folks who served.”

THINGS TO DO
Production to examine child beauty pageants A long-ago moment inspired the performance art production taking the stage at SIU Carbondale’s Kleinau Theater this week. Andrea Baldwin, a doctoral student from Abilene, Texas, majoring in performance studies and speech communication, brings her take on child beauty pageants with the performance she wrote and directs, “Little Miss Grotesque.” The production runs Feb. 16-18 with performances starting at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale at the door an hour before the performance begins. Baldwin said the seed of the idea behind the
performance grew from a brief, chance encounter in a hotel in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A 2-year-old girl entered in a child beauty pageant, crying and on the verge of a fit, crossed Baldwin’s path. Moments later, the girl’s mother caught up with her, turned her harshly around, and said “Don’t be ugly.” Baldwin said she never forgot that moment. This performance, though, isn’t about bashing child beauty pageants; it is more complex than that. “While TV shows (such as TLC’s ‘Toddlers and Tiaras’) highlight parents doing less than stellar things, there seems to be a
Page 6 Thursday, February 16, 2012 FLIPSIDE
lot of love coming out of them,” she said. “In their minds, they are doing what is best for their child.” Baldwin’s focus, while not shying away from negative consequences of child beauty pageants, also examines parental relationships, particularly between mothers and daughters. She applies performance art concepts; inter-textual references; and literary and philosophic theories, such as Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the grotesque, or grotesque realism, to this “hyper-extended disciplining of children’s bodies for display.” — University Communications

Allan, Atkins coming to Rent One Park COUNTRY SCENE Vince Hoffard
ary Allan and Rodney Atkins will anchor the biggest musical extravaganza in the history of Rent One Park in Marion. The country stars will be joined by Josh Thompson, Sunny Sweeney and Eric Paslay on the main stage, while many others will perform on a secondary stage during the seven-hour marathon. The “Country Throwdown” mix is scheduled for June 29 at the ballpark. “The event is open to the public. Ticket prices have not been established and the date tickets go on sale has not been determined,” said Eric Haag of the Southern Illinois Miners, the Frontier League baseball team that calls Rent One Park home. Since opening its doors in 2007, Rent One Park has hosted many musical events, including concerts by Craig Morgan, Atkins and a blockbuster show by Jason Aldean.
G
Last year, Pepsi sponsored a private show featuring Little Big Town. Naturally, Haag said he is hoping for a sell-out performance. The facility has more than 3,400 chair seats. There will also be festival0style seating available on the field, allowing spectators to get as close to the action as possible. Allan has reached the top of Billboard ranks with three of his 24 charted singles, including “Man to Man,” “Tough Little Boys” and “Nothing on but the Radio.” Three of his eight albums have been certified platinum for selling more than 1 million units. A California native, Allan was heavily influenced by the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
In an era of country music with heavy pop overtures, he strives to keep the traditional sound alive with his distinct smoky vocals. Starting in 2006, Atkins hit the top of the charts with four consecutive singles, including “If You’re Going through Hell,” “Watching You,” “These are My People” and “Cleaning This Gun.” Thompson soared onto the national scene with the David Lee Murphy written “Way Out Here.” Swinney gained recognition in 2011 with her hit “From a Table Away.” Paslay inked the Jake Owen hit “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” and recently released debut single “Never Really Wanted.” VINCE HOFFARD can be reached at 618-658-9095 or vincehoffard@ yahoo.com.

Hardy, Pine combine for a good time in ‘This Means War’ This Means War *** Rated PG-13 for sexual content including references, some violence and action and language; starring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Chelsea Handler; directed by McG; now showing at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion BY ROGER MOORE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
OK, who knew Tom Hardy, the new Batman villain and “Warrior” warrior, could be so funny?
Reese Witherspoon? Sure. Chris Pine? No surprise there. But Hardy? In “This Means War,” Hardy and Pine audition for James Bond and Ethan Hunt, respectively, playing CIA pals who always get their man. And they play guys who call on all their spycraft — and a lot of national security infrastructure — in competing to woo the same winsome blond, Lauren, played by Witherspoon. Dating a spy, as we learned in last week’s “Safe House,” is a tricky proposition. He or she is going to lie. Or at least be a little disingenuous.
“Have you ever killed anybody with your bare hands?” “Not this week.” Hardy plays Tuck, the shy dad who is split from his little boy’s mother, vulnerable enough to be attractive to online date Lauren, who works as a product tester as a marketing company. And Pine is F.D.R., a rich playboy spy always ready with a line: “I know movies. And women.” That pick-up is as out of date as the video store he tries it out in. Lauren goes from alone and lying about it to juggling two guys in a heartbeat. Who might be Mr. Long Term?
But since these guys are spies, naturally they find out. And as Bugs Bunny used to put it, “Of course you know, this means war.” So they set up rules — a “gentleman’s agreement”: “Don’t tell her” that they know and “stay out of each other’s way” are among those rules. So is “No hanky panky.” This action-packed romantic comedy was directed by “Charlie’s Angels” vet McG, who handles the shifts in tone with the requisite skill. One minute, they’re shooting it out with the villain (Til Schweiger) and his henchmen, the next they’re employing every
gadget and invasion of privacy known to the CIA in their battle to woo the girl and keep the other guy from getting her. The generally nameless assistants aren’t necessarily in on why they’re employing wiretaps and spy satellites to keep tabs on this woman. The guys play more fully fleshed-out characters, and Hardy in particular seems to relish showing off a softer, sillier side. Witherspoon’s character is on shakier ground. Let’s see, she’s single and insecure about it — but confident and mercenary enough to play
these two in ways any frat boy would appreciate. And no matter what she’s done, she gets to play the victim. “This Means War” feels packaged and market researched and factory sealed for our protection, from the comical way the boys treat an impending torture scene all the way down to giving comic Chelsea Handler, as Lauren’s confidante, a purse packed with zingers. But it’s a brisk sprint over familiar ground with just enough appeal to action addicts and romantic-comedy lovers to amuse fans of both genres.

Attention to detail makes for enjoyable experience The Secret World of Arrietty **1/2 Rated G; starring the voices of Bridgit Mendler, Carol Burnett, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett; directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi; opening Friday at University Place 8 in Carbondale BY ROGER MOORE
STUDIO
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
‘The Secret World of Arrietty’ opens Friday in Carbondale.
The new anime version of “The Borrowers,” titled “The Secret World of Arrietty” by screenwriter and “supervisor” Hayao Miyazaki, has the fascination with household “spirits,” the same lovely color palette and attention to detail for which his films are famous. But Miyazaki, director of “Ponyo,” “Spirited Away” and “My Neighbor Totoro,” didn’t direct this Studio Ghibli film. Perhaps that is why it lacks his sense of whimsy, that little sprinkling of Miyazki magic that the Japanese director has given his best work over the decades. Mary Norton’s oftfilmed 60-year-old novel is about the miniature people who live in the walls and below the floorboards of old houses, creatures who “borrow” what they need from the “human beans.” Every shopping trip is an expedition — nabbing one cube of sugar, that could last them months, a cracker than can be crushed to make Borrower bread. They live by two
rules. “Borrowers take only what they need,” and once they’ve been seen, it’s time to move. Those humans and their curiosity are nothing but trouble for Borrowers. Arrietty (voiced by Bridgit Mendler of TV’s “Good Luck Charlie” and “Wizards of Waverly Place”) is a 13-year-old straining at the limits of her world. She only knows her family, can only hope that there are other Borrowers, still surviving elsewhere. She sneaks outside (Miyazki’s love of nature), tempts the evil ravens who wouldn’t mind gobbling her up as a snack — and is spied by a sickly human boy. Shawn (voiced by David Henrie) wants to help, and Arrietty wants to make contact. She sees no threat from this fellow her own age and no need to move, or even tell her parents (Amy Poehler and Will Arnett). Naturally, they see things differently. The gorgeous pastels of Studio Ghibli films and famous attention to detail are much in evidence in this Hiromasa Yonebayashi film. The Borrowers’ world of re-
purposed human detritus — pins and empty spools and discarded bolts, double sided tape, which allows father Pod (Arnett) to scale the heights of a kitchen counter to fetch sugar — is ingeniously realized. Carol Burnett voices an old housekeeper who longs for the day when she can catch a real Borrower and be exonerated from those childhood charges that she was “crazy,” one of the film’s many lightly humorous touches. And there are hints of the larger world of Borrowers beyond this garden cottage. Norton wrote more than one book in the series, after all. But Miyazaki, who cowrote the script, had nowhere to take it. Either the Borrowers leave, or they stay. They’re either discovered and survive or captured and exposed. There’s no romance, no way to open the tale up, despite the fact that they’re using that most fantastical film form, animation. So as pretty as it is, this “Secret World” is too Earthbound by far.
