Three years aftermaking their move, albeitit a short one, the ownersof Pagliai’s Pizza & Pastain Carbondale are stillproud of their decision.

“The move hasexpanded the businessbeyond my widestdreams,” owner MelissaParsons said. “Eventhough we didn’t reallymove that far away, it justseems like we’re in awhole new section oftown.”

Parsons is the daughterof founders Connie andLarry Anderson. Whilethe well-knownrestaurant may havephysically relocated a bitnorth from its originalhome on Illinois Avenue,the quality food andexceptional customerservice that have madePag’s such a success fornearly five decades isn’tbudging an inch.

“Our quality andconsistency is really ourstrong point, and thepersonal touch we add toeverything we do,”Parsons said.

The restaurant’s originalbrick oven made the moveto the new location andthe kitchen is still fullyvisible from the diningroom, which allows gueststo witness first-hand thelevel of quality and careput into the preparation ofevery meal.

The 4,000-square-footfacility has allowed therestaurant to offer moreseating, better parking,expansive banquet roomsand numerous flat-screentelevisions. Improvedlighting and largerwindows also enhance thePag’s dining experience.

Pagliai’s offers severaloptions for their

handmade pizza crust —baked on a brick, thin orthick, which results in acrispy crust. You can alsogo soft and chewy byopting for the thin orthick crust baked in a pan.

The crust is just thestart of the fun for pizzaconnoisseurs. Pagliai’sboasts more than 20toppings, allowing gueststo build their own favoriteor choose from a numberof popular specialty pizzaslike “Joe’s Special,” a thin-crust pie with sausage,which Pag’s grinds in-house, pepperoni, extracheese, onions, Canadianbacon and extra sauce.

For pasta-lovers, Pag’sserves up cavatelli,fettuccini (alfredo orprimavera), lasagna,manicotti, mostaccioliand, of course, spaghetti.All of Pagliai’s pasta

dished are served withgarlic bread, and dinnersinclude a salad, as well.For sandwich fans, Pags’has ham and cheese, poorboy or Italian beef withchips.

Bread sticks and chicken wings are also onthe menu, as ischeesecake to satisfy thesweet tooth.

An expanded selectionof domestic and importedbeers is available by theglass or pitcher, and youcan enjoy a variety ofwines by the glass, half-liter or liter.

Pag’s party rooms canaccommodate largergroups for any occasion,from the professionalbusiness meeting to thepre-game parties for SIUsporting events.

Dome Days raising awareness, fundsCARBONDALE — Many

authors have pennedworks about the Birgers,the Sheltons and thegangster era of SouthernIllinois, but few have hada connection to the legendlike Ruthie Shelton.

The daughter ofnotorious “Little Carl”Shelton and grandniece ofthe infamous Sheltonbrothers, she only learnedof her family’s legacyabout 10 years ago, whenher father suffered a badreaction to anesthesia andstarted reliving theviolent days of his youth.

She tells the story of herjourney of discovery, aswell as a more completehistory of her family thanhas been previously

published, in her newbook, “Inside the SheltonGang: One Daughter’sDiscovery.” The book wasco-written by localhistorian Jon Musgraveand published byillinoishistory.com.

The Shelton brothersstarted in crime in St.Louis before World War I,but their war with the KuKlux Klan and later spatwith the Birger clan inWilliamson Countygained them nationalnotoriety and infamy.

Ruthie Shelton andMusgrave will sign copiesof the new book at 1 p.m.Saturday, April 20, atBookworm, 618 E.Walnut St.

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

Housed in a moderate-sized non-descriptbuilding on the city’s

north side is one of thelocal arts’ prized treasures,an outlet for thecommunity to expressthemselves to the masses,24 hours a day, seven days aweek.

At any given time, about100 volunteers and onepaid staff member keepWDBX on the air and filledwith a blend of uniquecontent, from musicallythemed showcases topolitical discussions andeven local sports. Off theairwaves and on, the cast ofcharacters bond throughtheir experiences,internally and externallywith listeners in the public.

“Community radio is

about 90 percentcommunity and 10 percentradio,” said StationManager Dave Armstrong.“We’re trying to providethe opportunity forSouthern Illinoisans tohave a voice in the media.”

The ability to continueaccomplishing that goal,Armstrong said, is to raisethe capital to keep thestation operational and toimprove its capabilities.WDBX is currently in themiddle of its SpringMembership Drive, with agoal of $13,000.

That money will helpcover basic operationalexpenses for most of theseason, as well as help fundprojects like thedevelopment of a secondstudio at the station.Station B, as it’s beennamed, will create a spacewhere musicians canperform live on air and alsogives the volunteer staff asecond studio forproduction work.

“That’s what weenvision,” Armstrong said.“We’ll be able to go livefrom either studio.”

In order to make ithappen, there are

improvements and repairsthat will need to be made tothe studio’s infrastructure.A few years ago, the stationwas hit by a bad lightningstrike, which caused somedamage. Repairs have beenbeing made slowly sincethen, but there’s still workto do.

The studio expansion isonly one of many ongoingprojects at WDBX.Courtesy donations fromMorris Library at SIU and PMac Music, WDBX hasbeen able to establish anOpera Lending Library,allowing the community tocheck out dozens ofdifferent opera records.

The station has alsomade a conscious effort toexpand coverage to servemore of Southern Illinois,including sport events,benefits and public serviceannouncements andopportunities. They havelately been aiding inbroadcasting CarbondaleHigh School sportingevents.

“We’re always trying toexpand what we can dohere,” Armstrong said.“We’re trying to reach outin several ways.”

Plans are in place to add agenerator, which wouldallow the station to remainon air and provide updatesand information duringdisasters.

As it stands, WDBXproduces more than 80original radio programsweekly, each bringingsomething a little differentto the table. That diversityand the community arewhat the station pridesitself on, Armstrong said.In a world where so muchof the media has corporatebacking or ownership,community radio offers adifferent take.

“We try to break thatmold,” Armstrong said.“We try to create a space of the public on theairwaves.”

Nothing gives amusician an inferioritycomplex quicker than a

phone that doesn’t ring.An ambitious picker

practices relentlessly untilhe feels raw perfection hasbeen achieved, then takesadvantage of everyopportunity to play inpublic. The word spreadsquickly about hisproficiency level. He waitsfor audition offers, but hisself-esteem takes adevastating jolt when noone calls.

Guitar master Rich Fabec

of Anna doesn’t have thatproblem. His phone isringing off the hook all daylong, just the way he likesit.

“How can I complain? Iget to make a living playingmusic,” the 44-year-old said.

Fabec recently becamethe newest member oflong-time area band TheEgyptian Combo, whichhad a national hit in 1964with “Gale Winds.”

A few months earlier, heagreed to join SteveHornbeak and The MainStreet Players, a musicvariety show that touchesall genres. A native ofTamms, Hornbeak is akeyboardist that hasworked with Faith Hill,John Michael Montgomeryand Lee Greenwood.

“I’m the hardest workingguitarist in SouthernIllinois,” Fabec said. “I getlots of calls because I’mable to play a lot ofdifferent styles and do itconvincingly. I don’t learna song just well enough toget by; I pour my heart andsoul into everything I do.I’ve got an easy-goingattitude and I’m willing towork hard. My mindset islet’s work together andmake it sound great.”

Fabec’s main focus,however, is with thepowerhouse Rich FabecBand, a three-piece outfitthat plays a blistering arrayof blues, roadhousecountry, redneck Southernrock and monster jams.Frequently, they mesh twostyles to create a refreshingnew sound.

Fabec has released threeindependent albums withthe band, including themost recent effort, “RFB3.”

“Our first two albumssold pretty well. We evensold a few in Europe,” Fabecsaid. “The latest album hasdone amazingly well.We’ve sold copies inPoland, Russia andAustralia. To think thatmusic recorded in Anna,Ill., reaches people halfwayaround the world is mindblowing.”

The trio is comprised ofbass guitarist Phil Carstensof Marion, drummer EricWoolard of Wolf Lake andFabec.

Artists influencing theband are blues superstarsBuddy Guy, B.B. King, JimiHendrix, Muddy Waters,Cream and the AllmanBrothers. Fabec canflawlessly cover materialmade famous by WarrenHaynes of Gov’t Mule andZZ Top’s Bill Gibbons.

Fabec said fans areattracted to the uniquenessof the band.

“We are not yourstandard blues band. Wecolor outside the lines ofwhat blues really is,” Fabecconfessed. “We throw quitea few curve balls during the

night. We might take aclassic blues song and mixin a Black Sabbath run inthe middle or a Rush riff atthe end. We like to mix itup.”

The Rich Fabec Band willbe playing HerrinFestaItaliana at 7 p.m. on May24, followed by Cache Riverat 8:15 p.m. The two localgroups will serve as theopening act for classic rockheadliner The Guess Who.

“We are so excited to partof HerrinFesta. Thetradition of the event isawesome,” Fabec said. “I’veheard musicians say thesize of a crowd doesn’tmatter to them, but I getpumped up when I look outand see 5,000 screamingfans. It makes you want tocrank it up to the nextlevel.”

Big shows are nothingnew to this act. Theyappear annually at theBlues, Bikes & BBQmotorcycle rally inFayetteville, Ark.

Fabec said fate broughthim to Union County andhis faith kept him there.

Raised just outside ofPittsburgh, Fabec earned aJazz Master Scholarship toattend the prestigiousBerklee School of Music in

Boston at age 17. In 1990,he migrated to Nashvilleand played in a wide rangeof bands.

In 1995, he was playingwith a band at a casino inMississippi. The guitaristfor another band playingthe same venue had afamily emergency and theband leader for WildHorses invited Fabec to fillin for a couple weeks.

During that period, WildHorses would relocate itsworld headquarters to TheSweetwater Saloon inGolconda and Fabec camealong for the ride.

“Two weeks turned intothree years,” Fabec said,laughing.

Fabec would eventuallyquit the band, fall in lovewith his wife of the past 15years, Sonya, and relocateto Anna. For a long period,his only musical outlet wasleading the praise andworship band at a localchurch. He eventuallydiscovered giving guitarlessons didn’t provideadequate income to raise afamily and pay bills.

He had to go back on theroad again. And the pedalhas been to the metal forthe past decade.

In addition to his threebands, he gives guitarlessons at Byassee Music inMarion on Monday,Tuesday and Friday. Heteaches at ShawneeCommunity College onWednesday and leadsSunday praise and worshipservice at the HerrinPresbyterian Church.

“I don’t have a problemplaying music in nightclubson Saturday and leadingpraise and worship serviceon Sunday,” he said. “I don’tdo anything in a bar that Iwouldn’t do in church.”

HARRISBURG — TheShawnee National ForestHeadquarters is hosting aspecial photographyexhibit prepared byCharles H. Hammondand focused on SouthernIllinois’ historic OzarkTours.

The Tours were thebrainchild of Oscar Trigg,a newspaper editor whowas very vocal in hisinsistence the regionneeded a national forest.In 1931, he developed anidea to highlight theregion’s potential fortourism and called uponfriends, family and localdignitaries andpoliticians to participatein a three-day campoutacross Southern Illinois.

The first trip began on

July 27, 1931, with 20 menin the back of a flat-bedtruck. They visited placeslike Stonefort, JacksonHollow, Bell SmithSprings and Cave-In-Rock, among others.Trigg made daily andhourly journal entries foreach year’s tour andalways had a camera withhim. The tours continuedannually until he died in1949 and occurredintermittently afterward.

The exhibit can beviewed at the ShawneeNational Forestheadquarters, 50 Illinois145 South, duringbusiness hours, 8 a.m. to4:30 p.m. For moreinformation, call 618-253-7114.

Oblivion **1/2

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi actionviolence, brief stronglanguage and somesensuality/nudity; starringTom Cruise, MorganFreeman, Olga Kurylenko,Andrea Riseborough andMelissa Leo; directed byJoseph Kosinski; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

Science fiction is onefilm genre that seems towear its ancestors, thefilms that inspired it or,less charitably, that it“borrowed” from, withpride.

Thus, “Oblivion” has“Scavengers” who dresslike Sand People from “StarWars”; round, red-eyedkiller drones from “2001”and “Robocop”; a finalefrom “Independence Day”and a director from “TRONLegacy.”

And Joseph Kosinskibrought his blattingsynthetic tubas score, usedin the original “TRON” and

in “Inception,” with him.That doesn’t make

“Oblivion” a bad movie,just a familiar one —generic.

Decades from now, wesee a depopulated post-apocalyptic Earth, wherethe moon is but a debrisfield in the night sky. Thehumans have fought andwon a war against theinvading Scavengers butlost the planet in theprocess. The A-bombs,earthquakes and tsunamisrendered it almostunlivable. And survivingScavengers fight on,interfering with the effortsof those on the giganticspace station, Tet, to drain

the seas for fusion energyfor the human colony onJupiter’s moon, Titan.

Jack Harper (Tom Cruise)is one of “the mop-upcrew” who keeps thedrones that protect theocean reactors running onthis drying planet, dronesthe Scavengers keepshooting down. He’s got apartner, Victoria (AndreaRiseborough), whomonitors his work from thecontrol tower they live in,and a smiling, drawling no-nonsense “MissionControl” boss (adisembodied Melissa Leo)up on Tet. But Jack haslittle memory of whatEarth used to be like.

He has dreams of awoman he can’t quiteplace, is prone toinsubordination andreveries when he stumblesacross the ruins of thestadium where the lastSuper Bowl was played.Tumbling into the buriedremains of a great library,he picks up a book, LordMacaulay’s heroic poemsabout Rome — “How canman die better than facingfearful odds?” Perhaps Jackis remembering his “TopGun” past. He sneaks off tohis cabin in a forestedcorner of the planet,listening to Led Zeppelinrecords and fantasizing alife there. If only Victoriawould go rogue and visitthe surface with him.

And that’s when a spaceship crashes and thewoman he rescues (OlgaKurylenko) turns out to bethe woman from hisdreams. Whatever madesense about his world, hispast and his mission goesright out the window.

The action beats involveshootouts with Scavengersand epic chases involvingdrones, which are depictedas heartless killingmachines that takehumanity out of theequation of war. It’s notgiving too much away tosay that Morgan Freemanpops up and presentsfurther moral quandaries.

Cruise is more effectivethan empathetic in the leadrole, Kurylenko is still apretty (and pretty bland)screen presence, and thehumorless Kosinski is still afilmmaker who could use avigorous edit in the scriptstage.

That makes “Oblivion”exactly the sort of sci-fifilm one would expect inApril — epic and oftenexciting, but too familiarand too bland to cut it as asummer release.
