WSIU InFocus (Episode #426) Premieres: Friday, July 3rd at 9pm Repeats: 7/5 at 12:30pm, 710 at 5pm The Other Side of Misselhorn Noted regional artist Roscoe Misselhorn (1902-1997) was famous for his pencil drawings of historical sites, steam engines, riverboats, and other iconic images of 20th century midwestern life. But you might be surprised to learn that Misselhorn also experimented with impressionism and abstract expressionism. At the Misselhorn Art Gallery in Sparta, Illinois, Terry Waldron of the Misselhorn Art Foundation leads WSIU's Jak Tichenor on a tour of some of Misselhorn's more daring works, including a series of nudes and abstract art images created over 50 years ago. Note: This segment features artwork that may be unsuitable for children. Toby Brooks: West Frankfort Cardinals A night out at the ballpark is only a short drive for fans now that the Southern Illinois Miners have brought minor league baseball to Rent One Park in Marion, Illinois. Thousands of people from across the region fill the stadium each week for old-fashioned fun and a spectacular fireworks display after the Miners' Friday night games. But did you know that the Miners aren't the first minor league team to play in Southern Illinois? Last summer, Debby Whitlatch talked with baseball fan Toby Brooks, an SIUC professor of kinesiology, about his book on the West Frankfort Cardinals minor league baseball team, Seasons of Change, and the team's 1948 Illinois State League championship win. Brooks was at Rent One Park in Marion to help celebrate the 60th anniversary of the historic game, and to honor the occasion, the Southern Illinois Miners and their opponents, the River City Rascals, wore 1940s-era replica uniforms. Lasse Knives WSIU visits the kitchen of Lasse Sorenson of Tom's Place in DeSoto, Illinois to learn about three tools of the trade the award-winning chef can't do without: a chef's knife for chopping vegetables and fruits, a meat knife, and a paring knife, which enables Sorenson to peel strawberries and clean onions with ease.
