From the expansive,bustling patio to the low-key, relaxing interior,Walt’s Pizza Pasta Grill indowntown Marion offerscustomers diverse optionsfor an enjoyable diningexperience. Not tomention its ever-expanding menu of top-quality, hand-pickedingredients.

Walt’s has been offeringdelicious pizza, healthychoices, and a family-friendly atmosphere since1977. With a vast array oflow-carb menu optionsand a promise to avoidimitation ingredients onthe salad bar, Walt’s takesthe health andsatisfaction of itscustomers seriously.

The menu at Walt’sfeatures everything fromappetizers, soups andsalads to the famousDouble Decker pizza — areal pizza-lover’s dreamfeaturing two layers ofWisconsin cheese,premium meat toppingsand a handmade, French-twisted crust.

But that’s certainly notall.

Explore the menufurther and you’ll find awide variety ofsandwiches, grilledchicken, steaks, salmonand pork chops alongwith nearly two dozen

specialty pasta dishes.Walt’s offers a

children’s menu (and evencrayons and puzzles forthe little ones), a gameroom, and on Mondays,children younger than 10 get to eat for free.

But Walt’s certainlydoesn’t ignore the adults.Its large patio provides aplace for customers tounwind, enjoy amultitude of food anddrink specials and evenlisten to live musicthroughout the week andon weekends, weatherpermitting. And whenthere’s no live musicoffered customers cantake in a game on one ofthe restaurant’s two 47-inch flat-screen TVs,which are especiallypopular during footballseason.

With all of these greatlunch, dinner andentertainment options,customers are sure to get

thirsty, too. Walt’s has, ofcourse, thought of that aswell. Coke, Pepsi, icedtea, and a robust menu ofbeer and wine are alsoavailable.

Try enjoying a LongIsland Iced Tea, Margaritaor Golden Sangria on thepatio. If wine is more toyour liking, you canchoose from nearly adozen reds and whitesavailable by the glass orbottle.

And beer-lovers canfind more than the typicallight lagers.

Walt’s tries to featurethree or four craft andspecialty beers, availablein bottles, to pair withdinner or enjoy on thepatio as well.

These offerings change frequently andseasonally — versatilitythat is yet anotherexample of what makesWalt’s a customer-drivenbusiness.

Sesser Rend Lake Days MusicSalty Dogs at 7:30 p.m.June 12, We Got It Coveredat 7:30 p.m. June 13, GeneWatson at 8 p.m. June 14,Johnny Lee at 8 p.m. June15; Miners Memorial Parkdowntown; free; bringseating.

Few singers in thehistory of countrymusic possess vocals

as powerful as GeneWatson. Even fewer songsevoke stronger emotionthan his classic “FarewellParty.” The tunefrequently appears nearthe top of lists of greatestcountry songs everrecorded and is oftenplayed at funerals.

The 59-year old Watsonwas working at a Texasauto body shop in 1974when the regionalpopularity of his song“Love in the HotAfternoon” spreadnationwide, where itpeaked at No. 5 on theBillboard charts.

His complete body ofwork has included 48single releases, with 21reaching coveted “Top 10”status, including tunes like“Paper Rosie,” “FourteenCarat Mind,” “Pick theWildwood Flower” and“Should I Come Home (OrShould I Go Crazy).”

Watson will be inconcert at 8 p.m. June 14at the 58th annual SesserRend Lake Days, at MinersMemorial Park near thedowntown area.Admission is free. Those

planning to attend shouldprovide their own seating.Concessions, includingroasted corn andbarbeque, will be availablefor purchase.

“This is the fourth timewe’ve had him at Sesser,”says event spokesmanKeith Ward.

“We try not to repeat toooften, but Gene Watsonalways draws a goodcrowd. We feature countrymusic at Rend Lake Days,and you can’t get morecountry than GeneWatson. The people neverget tired of seeing him.”

Since 1986, the festivalhas been providingcountry music fans with aweekend of free majorNashville talent. This year,Johnny Lee completes thedouble dose with an 8 p.m.show on June 15. He soaredto instant superstardomduring the “UrbanCowboy” era with act-breaking single “Lookin’For Love.”

“He was always a goodsinger, but the movie puthim over the top,” Wardsays.

Both Watson and Lee aremembers of the TexasCountry Music Hall ofFame.

The popular event hasexpanded to four nights ofentertainment, with musicstarting at 7:30 p.m. onJune 12 by Salty Dogs andat 7:30 p.m. on June 13 byWe Got It Covered.

Each night carnival rideswill be provided by J & JMagic Midway and Rides.Wrist bands for each dayare $15.

A testament to therespect Watson receivesfrom his piers was evidentafter the death of JackGreene in March.

A tribute concert wasperformed in April at theGrand Ole Opry, andWatson was selected to

perform Green’s 1966chart-topping hit anthem“There Goes MyEverything.” Although itwas taken at animpromptu backstagepractice session with ahand-held phone, Watsonvocals on the rough videofootage posted on hiswebsite are simplyphenomenal.

Watson’s success story isremarkable. One of sevenchildren, he was raised in aconverted school bus anddropped out of ninth gradeto help support his family.He started his professionalrecording career in 1962,persevering againstoverwhelming odds for 12years before finally gettinghis big break.

“Seems like my careerjust kind of happenedaccidently,” Watson says.“It was purelyunintentional. Music wasjust a sideline. I was goingto be playing and singingno matter what line ofwork I was going to do. Inever did really have anyhigh expectations out ofthe music business.”

Watson was only 15when he learned earlyabout the dirty side of thecountry music business.He grew up singing inchurch and wasdeveloping a big localfollowing with his youngerbrother, Jessie. A talentscout/producer came toParis, Texas, to promotethe debut show by TheWatson Brothers. A hugecrowd paid to see theperformance, but thepromoter “left town withthe proceeds” before theshow was over.

He settled in theHouston area and steadilybuilt a regional fan base.He toured briefly with theWilburn Brothers in themid-1960s, then workedfor several small labels

before he struck gold with“Love in the HotAfternoon,” which waseventually picked up byCapitol Records.

Watson’s latestrecording is “The Best ofthe Best,” new recordingsof 25 of his biggest hits. Heis touring Canada beforecoming to Sesser. Laterthis year, he will betouring with bluegrasssuperstar Rhonda Vincent.

Lee’s early musicalmomentum was stalled bya tour of duty in Vietnam.After his stint in the Navy,he started working atlegendary Gilley’snightclub in Pasadena,Texas.

His band also served asthe road band for clubowner Mickey Gilley,

which put him in perfectposition to earn a spot onthe Urban Cowboysoundtrack.

His other hits include“Pickin’ Up Strangers,”“One in a Million,”“Hey Bartender,” “YouCould’ve Heard a HeartBreak” and “Yellow Roseof Texas,” a duet with LaneBrody.

Past performers at RendLake Days include WaylonJennings, Porter Wagoner,Faron Young, BillAnderson, Little JimmyDickens, Billy “Crash”Craddock and Moe Bandy.

Singing with the StarsMusical theaterperformance competitionfeaturing local celebrities;7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 8;McLeod Theater; tickets are$35 and can be purchasedat www. southernticketsonline.com, by calling 618-453-6000 or at the boxoffice one hour before

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

Those who know GeorgeSheffer, owner ofMurdale True Value,

know him as a savvybusinessman with a jovialand vibrant personality.

But when they see himSaturday, June 8, they’ll seea different side of Sheffer,

one he initially hesitated tolet the public see.

“They’ve taken me out ofmy comfort zone,” saidSheffer, who will performthe ending scenes of “Manof La Mancha” as part ofthe Singing with the Starsfundraiser for the McLeodSummer Playhouse. “I’llmake my way through.”

Sheffer is one of severallocal celebrities who willtake the stage alongsideprofessional performersduring the event, which notonly raises funds for theSIU-sponsored theaterprogram but also serves asits launch party of sorts.

“I’ll make my waythrough it,” Sheffer said,noting he’s been rehearsingvigorously for the past twoor three weeks. “Thepeople who are coming are

doing so to have a goodtime, so I hope they do.”

Singing with the Starsbegins at 7:30 p.m. atMcLeod Theater in the SIUCommunications Building.Doors open at 7 p.m.Appetizers will be servedbetween round s, withdessert coming later.Tickets are $35 and can bepurchased atwww.southernticketsonline.com, by calling 618-453-6000 or at thebox office one hour beforethe event.

Tim Fink of the School ofMusic, one of the principleorganizers of the event, aswell as one of theprofessional performers,said people should come tothe event expecting tolaugh.

“Comedy is at the

forefront,” he said. “It’sfunny to watch people goup there and do the bestthey can do. In some ways,it’s like a musical theaterdunk tank.”

Fink said this year’slineup features moregroups than usual, whichadds another dimension tothe show.

With each group, he triedto pick a song that meshedwith their occupation or

role in the community.The group he’s

performing with,comprised of employeesfrom Arnold’s Market andArnie’s sandwich shop, willperform “Ooh! My Feet!”from “The Most HappyFella.” The song tells of awaitress and her sore feetat the end of her shift.

35th annual Sunset Concertseries set to begin June 13 The Internship ***

Rated PG-13 for sexuality,some crude humor,partying and language;starring Owen Wilson,Vince Vaughn, Rose Byrne,Tiya Sircar, Josh Brener,John Goodman; directedby Shawn Levy; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and IllinoisCentre 8 in Marion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

There’s an unadulteratedjoy in the re-teaming ofthose fast-talking“Wedding Crashers” VinceVaughn and Owen Wilson,a wholesome novelty intheir playing laid-offsalesmen forced to dowhat millions ofAmericans have had to doin the past six yearsreinvent themselves.

We’ve missed the patter, the Red Bull-fueledbanter that was Vaughn’sbread and butter beforeJennifer Aniston and “FredClaus” sucked away hissoul. He came up with thiszeitgeist tale of pals Billy(Vaughn) and Nick(Wilson), told they’re over

and done with when thewatch company theyworked for folds.

“Face it,” the boss (JohnGoodman) mutters,“where you’re goingyou’ve already been.”

They’re starting over intheir 40s. That meansfinding a job any job with“a future.” No, taking a jobwith Nicky’s sister’sboorish boyfriend (WillFerrell, hilarious) at hismattress store isn’t it. ToBilly it means landinginternships at global techmonolith Google, whichhas its raping/pillagingcorporate image polishedin this summer feel-goodcomedy.

Because feeling good iswhat results when fast-

talking Billy andcharming-womanizingNick land as “diversityhires” in Google’s best-and-brightest-and-youngest internshipprogram.

The boss (amusinglydroll Aasif Mandvi) isskeptical.

The pretty 30somethingworkaholic exec (RoseByrne) is resistant to theircharms.

Their skills, they’re told,“aren’t relevant in thismillennium.”

On a campus where“Star Wars” and HarryPotter are the appropriatecultural touchstones,Billy’s inclined to give old-school pep talks about“that little steel-town girl,

Ally” (“Flashdance”) andreassure a troubledcolleague, “I’m your BillHolden in ‘Stalag 17.”

“I don’t get thatreference.”

“Google it.”“The Internship” is

entirely too long. Themisfits that the lads teamup with are a “UnitedColors of Nerd.” The well-worn story arc hascontests (computer codede-bugging and app-inventing, and Quidditch)to see whose team will beoffered jobs at the end ofthe internship, and team-building exercises thatinclude a strip-club jauntand assorted young-on-old practical jokes.

But Max Minghellamakes a fine, arrogant Britintern-nemesis. TiyaSircar and Josh Brenerstand out as fellow“outliers” in theGoogleverse.

And interns Wilson andVaughn swap lines likeveteran jazz musicianswho still have a sense ofplay about them, anendless supply ofnicknames, high-and-lowfives, dated slang andgoodwill theirs for eachother, and ours for them.

The Purge *½Rated R for strong,disturbing violence andsome language; starringEthan Hawke, Lena Headey,Max Burkholder, EdwinHodge, Rhys Wakefield;directed by JamesDeMonaco; opening Fridayat University Place 8 inCarbondale and IllinoisCentre 8 in Marion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

James DeMonaco’s “ThePurge” is a bloody-minded,heavy-handed satire of life

within these violent UnitedStates. It’s a horror filmwith the occasional visceralthrill the fear of beinghunted, the excitement ofrighteous violence againstnameless intruders. Butmostly, it’s just a clumsylecture about who we’rebecoming: haves vs. have-nots, with the haves armedto the teeth.

In the not-distant future,“the New FoundingFathers” have decreedAmerica has one night ofcatharsis when we can givein to our most violentimpulses. Murder andmayhem abound and firstresponders have the night

off.Basically, you’re on your

own for “The Purge.” Thewell-off can hunt thehomeless, the “weak” andthose who don’t contributeto society. Or just seekrevenge. Others whomwe’ll call “rich liberals” buymassive security systemsand hunker down in theirfortress McMansions forthe night.

Ethan Hawke portraysone of the latter, asalesman who’s gotten richoff selling armored securitysystems. Lena Headey playshis resigned-to-this-yearly-”purge” wife. MaxBurkholder and Adelaide

Kane are the sensitive sonand hormonal daughterwhose trusting natureswould thwart any securitysystem.

Because Zoe (Kane) haslet the boyfriend Dadforbids her to see into thehouse, and Charlie(Burkholder) rescues ahomeless vet (EdwinHodge), saving him from ahunt. And that bringsvengeful preppies (led byRhys Wakefield) who werestalking the vet down ontheir happy home.

DeMonaco seems awfullyconcerned that we won’t“get” his points here, sothere’s repetitious 24-hour

TV coverage about how it istime to “release the beastand purge our Americanstreets,” debates over themorality of it, how“culling” society lowersunemployment and helpsthe economy.

You can see what Hawkeand Headey envisioned inthis the chance to make astatement for compassionand humanity in the face ofthe social Darwinism thatmight create a night likethis.

But lapses in logic andcharacterization trip it upat every turn. This Charliekid seems to have a deathwish, and a sense of

removal from his supposedcompassion that undercutshis supposed motivation.The boyfriend isunderdeveloped. Thefamily is armed, but their“plan” of defenselaughably involves splittingup and searching for thewounded homeless man intheir pitch-black house.

The reliably believableHawke has had good luck inhorror in recent years(“Sinister,” “Daybreakers”),but his instincts fail himhere. “The Purge” is an 85-minute chore that tediouslyplays like a real-timerecreation of the night ofThe Purge all 12 hours of it.

‘The Purge’ is a binge of violence and plot lapses
