Many SouthernIllinoisans are familiarwith the successfulcatering business that Bob Fombelle and his family establishedmore than 20 years ago.

Great Boars of Fire hasprovided finger-lickingfare for hundreds ofweddings, meetings andget-togethers through theyears.

But some locals may notknow about the business’offshoot full-servicerestaurant.

They owe it tothemselves to check it out.

The Blue Boar — offKratzinger Hollow Road inCobden — blends aneclectic combination ofNew Orleans-themeddécor with varioushunting and sportsmemorabilia, includingmany wall-mounted andfree-standing trophyanimals and autographedphotos.

The restaurant itself is situated at the bottom of a large hollowsurrounded by myriad ofsights and sounds ofnature, including a natural waterfall andbeautifully coloredlandscaping.

The waterfall is partof what used to be calledthe Jonesboro watersource, and 280,000gallons of water per hourflows through theproperty.

The property’s waterwas once transported outby horse-drawn wagonsand used to power steamengine locomotives.Actually, an old railroadhouse used to stand in thevicinity.

Once you’ve taken in allthe sights outside TheBlue Boar and enter therestaurant itself, aspacious dining room

capable of seating morethan 200 people welcomesyou, anchored by amassive, full-service barat the far side of the room.

The bar area featuresmultiple flat-screen TVsand ample space forviewing live sportingevents while enjoyingdinner or a drink.

The ambience isn’t the only thing that makes The Blue Boar standout.

A wide range of diningoptions are available,from light meals — evenseveral vegetarian entrees— to full multi-coursedinners, including the Blue Boar’s specialties:burgers, prime rib andvarious Cajun-inspireddishes.

And, of course, you canget the award-winningGreat Boars of Firebarbecue. On Sundays, afull breakfast is servedfrom 8 to 11 a.m.

The bar stocks mostlocal wines, a wide-selection of beer,including local andregional favorites,Irish whiskeys, and, if youare in the mood for amixed or frozen drink,the trained bar staff at the Blue Boar can

prepare a hurricane,piña colada or BloodyMary that features the Boar’s homemadewasabi-infusedhorseradish.

Given the many years ofcatering experience withGreat Boars of Fire,entertainment is obviouslya given at The Blue Boar.

Diners can expect livemusic both indoors andout throughout the year.

The Blue Boar hashosted large-scale MardiGras events, Easterfestivities and the annual Hogfest — agathering that draws more than 2,000motorcycle enthusiasts fora blessing of the bikes andkickoff to the ridingseason.

The summerabounds withmovie optionsBY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

Does it seem as if the“biggest movie of thesummer” is hitting

theaters earlier and earlierwith each passing year?

This year, the film beingheralded with that title —“The Avengers” — hasalready celebrated recordsuccess in its first fullweek, and we’re not evenhalfway through May yet.

Studios are nowreleasing films earlier,attempting to capitalize onhype and catch the wavesof early excitement. Itcertainly seems to haveworked for “Avengers,” theJoss Whedon-directed

Marvel Comicsblockbuster. The moviesurpassed the final “HarryPotter” installment to topthe charts for best openingweekend in history.

But “Avengers” is just thebeginning. This summer’sschedule is packed withaction, comedy and drama.With such a diverse array ofmovies opening, there’sbound to be something foreveryone. The centerpiecesof the summer, however,come from a similar vein as“Avengers,” bringing thecolored panels of comics tolife on the big screen.

“The Amazing Spiderman,”a reboot of the 2002 moviefranchise starring TobeyMaguire, opens in theatersJuly 3. Andrew Garfieldsteps into the spider suitfor a new take on the origintale of the webslinger.Emma Stone and RhysIfans co-star in the MarcWebb-directed film.

Mere weeks later, on July20, “The Dark Knight Rises,”the conclusion to directorChristopher Nolan’sBatman saga will bereleased. Nolan’s films,starring Christian Bale asBatman, have garneredcritical acclaim, and histhird tale may be the mostanticipated release of thesummer. Anne Hathawayand Tom Hardy join thecast as Catwoman andBane, respectively.

But for those not keenon the comic books andsuperheroes, here’s a lookat many of the othermovies opening thissummer. Release dates aresubject to change.

Big, bigger, biggest“Battleship,” based on the

game that involvedsticking pegs into holesbut presumably a littlemore exciting (let’s hope),

arrives May 18; “G.I. Joe:Retaliation,” inspired bythose handsome dolls,opens June 29.

“Prometheus,”Ridley Scott’s sort-of-prequel to “Alien,” arrivesJune 8 and stars NoomiRapace (the original Girlwith a Dragon Tattoo),Charlize Theron andMichael Fassbender.

In the sequels-and-remakes department,Will Smith and TommyLee Jones team up againfor “Men in Black 3”(May 25), whether you wanted them to or not, and Jeremy Renner stars as a spy who isn’t Jason Bourne in “The Bourne Legacy”(Aug. 3).

And, if you’ve everlooked at Colin Farrell andthought, “That guyreminds me of ArnoldSchwarzenegger,”then you might come close to understanding the casting of the “Total Recall” remake (Aug. 3).

STUDIO‘The Amazing Spiderman,’ starring Andrew Garfield, comes to theaters July 3.

Andthe year’s most unlikelyadaptation has to be“What to Expect WhenYou’re Expecting” (May18), based on the popularhow-to-be-pregnantbook and transformed,somehow, into a romanticcomedy.

Meanwhile, Tyler Perryreturns with “Madea’sWitness Protection” (June29), starring Perry andEugene Levy asunexpected housemates,and Bobcat Goldthwaitedirects “God BlessAmerica” (June 29), inwhich a man goes on arampage to rid thecountry of its mostrepellent citizens.

For the kids

Pixar, bouncing back(let’s hope) from thedisappointing “Cars 2,”presents “Brave” (June22), with Kelly Macdonaldvoicing a Scottishprincess who mustovercome a curse.“ParaNorman” (Aug. 17), astop-motion-animationtale of a boy who faces offagainst ghosts andgoblins to overcome (yetanother) curse, featuresthe voices of AnnaKendrick, John Goodmanand Casey Affleck. And itwouldn’t be summerwithout a host of kid-friendly sequels:“Madagascar 3” (June 8),“Ice Age: Continental Drift”(July 13), and “Diary of aWimpy Kid: Dog Days”(Aug. 3).

Thrill meA group of tourists

visits the former site of anuclear reactor, for somereason, in the thriller“Chernobyl Diaries”(May 25).

“Twilight” vamp AshleyGreene stars in the ghoststory “The Apparition”(Aug. 24); Jeffrey DeanMorgan and KyraSedgwick turn up inanother supernatural tale,“The Possession” (Aug.31); and more ghostshaunt the airborne thriller“7500” (Aug. 31). Thepsychological thriller“Sound of My Voice” (May4), starring and co-written by Brit Marling(“Another Earth”),features two investigativejournalists who infiltratea cult-like group.

The end of the world is near

Dark Shadows ***Rated PG-13 for comichorror violence, sexualcontent, some drug use,language and smoking;starring Johnny Depp, EvaGreen, Michelle Pfeiffer,Jackie Earle Haley andJonny Lee Miller; directedby Tim Burton; openingFriday at ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

The years, gray hairs andwrinkles fade away fromJohnny Depp and MichellePfeiffer, and the cobwebsare brushed off “DarkShadows” in Tim Burton’scampy and dark take onthe late 1960s vampiresoap opera.

A cheesy and cheap but

beloved TV program takesa ribbing in the film,which has more incommon with “That ‘70sShow” than its source.

But it’s a fun flashbackto the days when a jiltedwitch (former Bond babeEva Green, in fine fury)cursed the Byron-hairedBarnabas Collins (Depp) toeternal damnation as avampire.

The evil Angelique killedhis parents, turned theseaport village of Collins-port against Barnabas andhad him entombed. Andwhen he is accidentallyawakened in 1972, hediscovers that was just thebeginning of her revenge.

The descendants(Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller,Chloe Moretz and GulliverMcGrath) are living in thecluttered ruins ofCollinwood, their vastmansion. Tragedy has

visited the family on aregular basis. And they’reabout to hire a governess(Bella Heathcote) who isthe spitting image ofJosette, the long-lost loveof Barnabas Collins.

Depp is adept at playingthis sort of fish-out-of-water. Barnabas spies theminiskirt of his teenagedescendant (Moretz) andwonders why a street-walker lives among them.He shouts “Show yourself,Satan” at his first sight ofa car’s headlights.

Heathcote (“In Time”) iswoefully out of her depth,faintly mysterious butunable to suggest thepassion Barnabas carriedfor 200 years in a coffin.

At nearly two hours, thistwo-joke comedy is toolong. But Burton neitherdishonors the show nordisappoints generations offans of that series.

‘Dark Shadows’ movie won’tdisappoint fans of TV show

“4:44 Last Day on Earth”(May 18), written anddirected by Abel Ferrara(“Bad Lieutenant”),focuses on how an artistspends his final day. In“Seeking a Friend for theEnd of the World” (June 22),Steve Carell and KeiraKnightley take a last-daysroad trip as an asteroidlooms near.

Shall we dance?Toes will be twinkling

with three dance-themedmovies this summer:“Step Up: Revolution” (July27), featuring plenty ofdance-crew moves, andthe documentaries “FirstPosition” (May 18), aboutan international youthballet competition, and“Joffrey: Mavericks ofAmerican Dance” (June 1),about the groundbreakingdance company foundedby Robert Joffrey.

Well, that was fastThose seeking action

films sans superheroesthis summer might watchfor “Premium Rush” (Aug.24), with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a bike messengerpursued by a cop; “TheExpendables 2” (Aug. 17),with Sylvester Stalloneleading a crew of toughguys; and “Hit & Run”(Aug. 24), with DaxShepherd and Kristen Bellchased by both the Fedsand a gang. (Whichsounds unfortunate.)

Against the lawOliver Stone’s latest,

“Savages” (July 6), pits apair of pot growers (saythat three times fast)against a Mexican drugcartel. And “Lawless”(Aug. 31) is the tale of aDepression-erabootlegging gang, starringTom Hardy, Shia LeBoeufand Guy Pearce.

Songwriters neverknow where they mayget the inspiration for

their next composition.It could be as purely

simple as watching

someone walking throughthe mall or as emotionallycomplex as attending afuneral of a close friendwho died unexpectedly atan early age.

David Allan Coe wasmotivated to compose hisrecent single, “Leave OleWillie Alone,” when henoticed the misguidedpriorities of the nationalmedia, who focused onWillie Nelson cutting hishair and getting arrestedfor simple marijuanapossession, instead of aflood of murderers andthieves or oil spilling intothe Gulf of Mexico.

A true country musiclegend, Coe will appear at

8 p.m. tonight, May 10, atRustle Hill Winery, on thenorthern outskirts ofCobden on U.S. 51, about10 miles south ofCarbondale.

Coe is best known forTop 10 singles “The Ride,”“Mona Lisa Lost HerSmile,” and signature tune“You Never Even CalledMe By My Name,” adrunken barroom standardfrom the day karaoke wasinvented.

The 72-year-old Coe is anative of Ohio, where hespent 20 years in reformschool and prison beforejoining the Nashvillemusic scene in the late1960s.

He immediately took onhis own unique identity,painting “The MysteriousRhinestone Cowboy” onthe side of an old hearseand parking it in front ofthe Ryman Auditorium,selling his products out ofthe back as patronsattended the Grand OleOpry.

Coe’s first hit came in1974, when a song hewrote for Tanya Tucker,“Would You Lay with Me(In a Field of Stone),” roseto the top of the charts.The doors of Music Citywere suddenly kicked wideopen as commercialsuccess lowered the guardof music executivesapprehensive about hisextensive tattoos andquestionable background.

As a songwriter, he hit apeak with the JohnnyPaycheck classic “TakeThis Job and Shove It.”

Along with WaylonJennings, Merle Haggard,Jerry Jeff Walker, HankWilliams Jr. and WillieNelson, Coe was at theforefront of the Outlawmovement in countrymusic during the 1970s

and catered to his fan basewith tunes like“Longhaired Redneck,”“Divers Do It Deeper” and“Willie, Waylon and Me.”

Coe ended a seven-yeardrought out of theBillboard Top 40 in 1983

with “The Ride,” about ahitchhiker getting a ridewith the ghost of HankWilliams.

Summoned to New YorkCity to be praised by thehead of Sony Music for thesuccess of the record, Coewas a bit disappointedwhen two of his threenames were misspelled ona welcoming banner, thenstepped on top of themogul’s desk and launchedinto a profanity lacedtirade for making him waitin the lobby for sevenhours. The outburst is partof country music lore.

Coe’s latest CD is titled“DAC’s Back.” It isavailable for purchase anddownload at variousretailers.
