A century-old buildingon Herrin’s maindowntown street isbustling once again thanksto some entrepreneurshipand strategic vision. Oh,and don’t forget the food.
The Annex Coffee &Deli, which sits in theplace of the highly popularformer Annex movietheater, has grownsubstantially sinceopening its doors in 2011.Now with an expandedbakery area and menu, theAnnex is offering a newselection of artisan breads,rolls and bagels.
Deli owners Dr. BarryVesciglio and Dr. Ted VanAcker don’t plan onstopping theirimprovement efforts anytime soon.
“Business is great andwe feel over the past twoyears we’ve perfected ourbreakfast and lunchofferings,” Vesciglio said.“Now we are working onproviding more dinneroptions, special events and developing our
catering department.”The Annex dishes out a
hot pasta special and threevarieties of soup everyday. Its “pick two”offering allows diners totry a wider variety ofmenu items, such as a halfsandwich with soup, salador pasta.
Favorites also includethe wide range of coffeesand specialty drinks, aswell as Italian pastries,cheese cakes cookies andcinnamon rolls.
“We also do a cake of themonth that can bepurchased by the slice or awhole cake in our bakery,”Vesciglio said. Patrons canhead into the Annex thismonth for a deliciousCannoli cake.
Cakes are beginning toearn the Annex regionalrecognition. The delifielded rave reviews frombrides-to-be for its cake
samples at the Ever AfterBridal Expo earlier thismonth. Vesciglio says theAnnex can cater any sizeparty, from an intimateengagement dinner to anextravagant event. “Wecan also customize menuitems to meet dietaryconcerns and individualtastes. If you can dream it,we can do it.”
The Annex’s aspirationsto improve its offeringsand services alignperfectly with the City ofHerrin’s objectives.“Herrin is working hard tobring more people in tothe downtown area andthat’s very exciting for usall,” Vesciglio said.
As Herrin and the Annexcontinue to grow together,one thing is certain: Thispopular diner will alwaysstay grounded in qualityproducts and elitecustomer service.
“We have a very loyalgroup of regulars thatcome into the Annex,”Vesciglio said. “We lovevisiting with them andhearing about their day,their family, news or theweather. We really enjoyknowing our guest byname and what they like toorder.”

MOVIES ART WINERIES BOOKS COVER STORY THEATER THINGS TO DO MUSIC
BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN
For more than 40 years,children across thecountry and around the
globe have beenentertained by the wordsand illustrations of EricCarle.
His most famous work,“The Very HungryCaterpillar,” has captivatedreaders since its release in1969. The picture bookalso spawned a career ofmore than 70 books and125 million sales.
Children and theirfamilies in SouthernIllinois have anopportunity to see Carle’sworks in a new way, as the
Mermaid Theatre of NovaScotia brings its theatricalproduction of “The VeryHungry Caterpillar andOther Eric CarleFavorites” to the BentonCivic Center at 7 p.m.Saturday, Jan. 25.
The show uses three-dimensional, full-movingpuppets to bring“Caterpillar” and two ofCarle’s other stories,“Little Cloud” and “TheMixed-Up Chameleon,” tolife.
“I prefer to call what wedo object movement, ofwhich some of the objectswe use are puppets” saidJim Morrow, artisticdirector of MermaidTheatre. “Many of the
objects we move throughspace don’t have a soul orpersonality; however,they’ve been executedbeautifully.”
“Caterpillar” follows theadventures of a very tinyand very hungry bug as heeats his way through avariety of foods on hispath to becoming abeautiful butterfly.
“Little Cloud,” livinghigh in the sky, playfullytransforms himself intovarious creatures,including a sheep,airplane, shark and more.
“Chameleon” tells of alizard bored with life, whois inspired by a trip to thezoo to emulate the animalshe sees before finding the
true value in his own self.Carle’s stories have been
adapted, designed anddirected by Morrow, withmusic by Steven Naylorand narration by GordonPinsent.
“I see the objects andthe characters I helpedcreate as if they’re actually living,” Morrowsaid.
“We’ve been able to finda way to bring them to life,
and the performers havebeen able to affect themwith some emotion.”
Tickets for the hour-long performance are $15and $20 and can bepurchased online atbentonciviccenter.com.
For Morrow, shows likethis are an opportunity tointroduce new audiencesto theater and hopefullyhook them for years tocome.
“There’s very littlequality theater for 2-, 3-, 4-year-olds,” hesaid. “There’s a lot of greatentertainment, but there’svery little good theater foryoung children. We hopeto provide that kind ofexperience to really youngchildren so they keepcoming back.”
Illustrations come to lifeEric Carle’s drawings to be featured in Benton show
PROVIDED BY MERMAID THEATREMermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia will present ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric CarleFavorites’ at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, at Benton Civic Center.
Zola Road was amundane street on theoutskirts of Harrisburg
at the start of 2013, anordinary place that flewunder the radar andattracted little attentionfrom the outside world,just like Brian Smith andMegan Wren.
The 21-year old Wren isan X-ray technician at theHarrisburg Medical Center,studying ultrasound at SIU,where she is scheduled tograduate in 2015.
Smith, 33, graduatedfrom the SIU School of Lawin 2005 and he practices inMarion, specializing in civillitigation and workman’scompensation cases.
The two attended churchtogether and each werefully aware that the otherpossessed high qualityvocal skills. While neitheraspired to pursue a solosinging career, last Januarythey mutually agreed tocollaborate on a coupletunes just for fun.
From day one, the resultshave been jaw-dropping.Listeners are instantlycaptivated by the perfectharmony, swearing the pairmust have been workingtogether for years insteadof weeks.
“From the verybeginning, it sounded sonatural,” Smith said. “Weknew very quickly that wehad something special. Wedecided to work hard andsee how far we could takethis thing.”
Wren says both membersof the duo, who are actuallydistant relatives, have along history of singing inchurch.
“We grew up singinggospel music. That is wherewe learned to harmonize,”she said.
Needing a name and aproduct to get establishedon the local music scene,the duo adopted the nameZola Road, the street whereWren was born and raised,then decided to record aCD to use for promotions.
Equipped with a solidselection of originalmaterial written mainly bySmith, the newly formedZola Road entered TheRock Recording Studio inElizabethtown in March
and spent several weeksrecording under thewatchful eye of studioowner Joe Jenkins.
“I wrote most of thesongs we recorded, thenMegan and I would worktogether to hammer out thearrangement,” Smith said.
The result is an 11-trackcountry/pop flavored disctitled “The Way You BurnMe,” which showcasespowerhouse velvety vocalsynchronization on a widerange of beefy material,including “Favorite Place,”“All I Want Is You” and aterrific cover of theMichael Jackson classic“Billie Jean,” that is slowedway down and turned intoa soft ballad.
A coming out party ofsorts for Zola Road wasentering the Texas CountryShowdown. They werevirtually an unknown act asthey advanced through twoqualifying stages to make itto the regional finals at theHerrin Civic Center duringHerrinfesta Italiana in late
May. They finished in avery respectable runner-upposition in the field of 10contestants, narrowlymissing first place by threepoints.
“It was really goodexposure for us,” Wren saidof the strong showing atSouthern Illinois’ premiersummer festival.
Smith added: “We met alot of good people at theshowdown. We weredisappointed that we didn’twin, but we were able to getour name out to so manypeople. Our Facebookexploded after thatweekend.”
Up to then, the singershad operated in virtualanonymity, except to theirclosest friends. Now, thesecret was out of the bag.
“People at my officeknew I was a musician andI had a band, not muchmore than that, untilHerrinfest,” Smith said.
“Most of my friendsdon’t know the extent ofwhat we are doing and how
hard we are working to takeit to the next level,” Wrenadded.
Zola Road’s calendar wasbusy in the last half of 2013,with numerous shows atarea clubs and wineries. Ateach stop, they expandedtheir fan base with showsfilled with original materialand covers of old and newpop and country material.
The constantly evolvingrepertoire of the duo is asmixed as their influences.Smith is a big fan ofsongwriters and leanstowards the music of TheBeatles and Bob Dylan.Wren is drawn to the musicof The Civil Wars andShania Twain.
The future is definitelybright for Zola Road.
“Last year just blew awayour expectations. Neither
one of us anticipated thesuccess we had,” Wrensaid.
Smith said the duo willrecord a new album thisyear and considerexpanding the duo into afull band, which wouldcreate a fuller sound andlead to gigs at biggervenues.
Zola Road will perform atthe Viva Harrisburg CasinoNight set for 6 p.m.Saturday, Jan. 25 in theSoutheastern IllinoisCollege Foundation Centerin Harrisburg. The event isa fundraiser sponsored bythe Harrisburg MedicalCenter Foundation.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit **Rated PG-13 for sequencesof violence and intenseaction, and brief language;starring Chris Pine, KevinCostner and KeiraKnightley; directed byKenneth Branagh; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion
BY JAKE COYLETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Having clung to theRussians as go-to villainslong after the Cold Warthawed, the movies findthemselves current againwith their favorite arch-enemy.
Cooling Russo-Americanrelations have yielded anopening for the return ofTom Clancy’s CIA analyst,just in time for the SochiOlympics. In the JackRyan reboot, “Jack Ryan:Shadow Recruit,” ChrisPine takes over as the spywho was played by AlecBaldwin (“The Hunt forRed October”), HarrisonFord (“Patriot Games,”“Clear and PresentDanger”) and Ben Affleck(“The Sum of All Fears”).
It’s a decent legacy of adark-haired, intellectualaction hero. Ryan is anavigator of murky,reasonably realistic,international espionageworlds. He has neitherJames Bond’s preternaturalsuavity nor Jason Bourne’s
visceral butt-kicking skills,but instead anxiously findshis way with patrioticcunning.
“Shadow Recruit,” whichwas scripted without aClancy book by AdamCozad and David Koepp,tells a new backstory forRyan. Inspired by Sept. 11,he joins the Marines and isheroically injured inAfghanistan. During hisrecovery, he meets hiseventual fiancee (a doctornamed Cathy played byKeira Knightley) and islured to the CIA by amysterious recruiter (KevinCostner, unconvincinglytrying to exude a DonaldSutherland-like gravitas).
He’s covertly embeddedat a Wall Street bank wherehe uncovers a Russian plot
to buy up U.S. Treasurybonds, which he suspectswill be sold off in acoordinated act ofterrorism and currencydevaluation. Surely, ifRonald Reagan (whoseendorsement of Clancy’sfirst novel, “The Hunt forRed October,” propelled hisfame) was still around, he’dswoon over a spy thrillerbased on the harrowingthreat of inflation.
Ryan’s investigationleads him to the Russianoligarch Viktor Cherevin,played by KennethBranagh, who also directedthe film. Certainly, it takesa bite out of thenationalistic politics whenthe movie’s villain is playedby a knighted British actor known for his
Shakespeare work.Branagh endows his film
with (mostly) old-fashioned competency —something often lacking intoday’s action films — butlittle to distinguish it fromsuperior thrillers that havecome before. The bestthing here is the sleeknessof modern Moscow, where
much of the action takesplace. The film is filled witha nighttime mix of neonand taillights set againstthe Kremlin and othermonuments — a handsomeenough rendering to send a viewer back to the recent Bond, “Skyfall,” forthose elegant Shanghaiscenes.
