THEBES — Debbie Goins and her Thebes Historical Society colleagues look at this weekend’s Memorial Day celebration as a sign of renewed progress on a venture that has fallen by the wayside in recent years. The group aims to restore the historic Thebes courthouse. The structure was most recently fixed up in 1970 and has fallen back into a state of ill repair. Members of the historical society have worked on cleaning up the area around the courthouse and identifying the most essential repairs. The priority now is on keeping the building isolated from weather and outside forces. The wood surrounding windows needs to be replaced, as do many of the windows themselves. Some of this work was funded by a grant, but the remaining work requires funding.
Visitors will have a chance to see the need firsthand at this weekend’s Memorial Day event. The historical society wanted to do something big last year, but flooding prevented anything from coming together. This year, though, they are presenting a two-day event Saturday and Sunday, May 26 and 27. The courthouse will be open for tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and there will be fundraising activities through the weekend. Skin for Skin Pewter Company, re-enactors, traders and casters of pewter, will be on the grounds Saturday. A community worship service will take place Sunday morning, and Velo Girardeau, the Cape Girardeau bicycle club, will begin a ride at courthouse 10 a.m. Sunday. — Adam Testa

We strive to offer something for everyone at an affordable price. It’s definitely mission accomplished with the outstanding schedule for this year.” Before the 2008 weather-forced cancellation, Owen had quickly constructed a solid career. His success on the Billboard charts had been dominated by tunes like “Yee Haw,” “Startin’ With Me” and “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You.” All three songs were co-written with Thompsonville native Kendell Marvel. Owen has now taken his career to the nearsuperstar level. Each of his last two singles, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” and “Alone with You,” has soared to the top of the charts. His latest release is “The One That Got Away.” “Everything is amazing
right now,” Owen said. “I have other artists, song publishers, promotion reps, people at other record labels coming up to me and saying, ‘Jake, I really like your new song. We’re pulling for you, dude.’ That validates everything I’ve ever done up to this point. Now, I have people cheering for me, and that is an awesome feeling.” In college, Owen had dreams of becoming a professional golfer, but those came crashing down when he severely injured his shoulder in a skiing accident. He picked up the guitar while he was recuperating from his injury and was bitten by the entertainment bug in 2005, when he discovered Florida bar owners would pay him for doing something he loved — picking and singing.

CARBONDALE — Registration is open for the14th annual Young Writers Workshop at SIU. The workshop is an intensive program open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Participants work with creative writing faculty and graduate students in writing workshops, panel discussions and readings. Students work in small groups to create their own writing and also in whole group settings to learn about such topics as small press publishing or
to hear readings from guest writers. The camp runs June 1923. Registration is open through June 1. Students have an option of staying on campus or commuting. The resident camper fee is $330; the commuter fee is $280. Scholarships may be available. Students should submit a writing sample with their registration. The sample will not affect acceptance into the workshops but will help workshop instructors place students in groups.
The Department of English and the creative writing program, in cooperation with the Division of Continuing Education, offer this workshop camp. Allison Joseph, awardwinning poet and director of the master of fine arts in creative writing program, is the workshop director. To register or for more information, contact the Division of Continuing Education at 618-536-7751 or visit www.dce.siu.edu. — University Communications

OWEN: One of many talented acts at Festa FROM PAGE 7 Owen, 30, was lucky to escape the lengthy period most artists spend in Nashville paying dues. In less than a year, he had a record deal. He attended a Kenny Chesney concert one year as a fan and was opening for the superstar the next. He has also toured with Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Sugarland. “I would say I have had a pretty great life,” he said. “As far as me struggling in Nashville, I can’t say that I did that. A lot of singer/ songwriters come to town and play all the honkytonks and bars, hoping to meet someone and worrying and struggling. I am extremely grateful that

everything happened the way it did.” And a great life just got better. On May 7, Owen married model Lacey Buchanan in his hometown of Vero Beach, Fla. Owen has taken his career to a new level with album, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” with two No. 1 singles. The Sunday schedule at HerrinFesta starts at 5:30 p.m. with the Texaco Country Showdown, followed at 6:30 p.m. by the Jennifer Thompson Band and The Southern Starr Singers. Jackson Junction, with Dave Clark and Deanna Freeman, will perform at 8 p.m. The 22-year-old Hunter Hayes performs at 7:30 p.m. Monday. He has
made a mark on the country market with his debut major-label single, “Storm Warning.” Despite his age, he has been around for a long time. He played “Jambalaya” on accordion for Hank Williams Jr. in front of 200,000 fans when he was just four years old. He released his debut, self-titled album Oct. 11. He produced the entire project, wrote or co-wrote every song and played every instrument. Last year, he toured with Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift. In June, he hits the road with Carrie Underwood.

We find out the secret behind supermodels (they’re all aliens) and Andy Warhol (Bill Hader of “Saturday Night Live”). And we meet an alien who sees every version of the future, whose eyes moisten over the coming of the “Miracle Mets” of ‘69. Michael Stuhlbarg plays this fellow with a Clarence-the-Angel (“It’s a Wonderful Life”) glimmer and sets the tone for the film’s third act, which manages a lump in the throat or two. Sequels are almost by definition let-downs. But sometimes it’s enough to want a movie to work, to want a genuinely funny filmmaker to regain a little of his lost form, for Josh Brolin to come along and firmly take the mantle of man’s man/ funnyman from the actor who made humorless so damned hilarious, way back when.

They soon discover that not only are they stranded, they’re not alone. The film, starring Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Dimitri Diatchenko and Jesse McCartney, is rated R for violence and some bloody images. It opens Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion.
