Git Along To Cheney Rodeo

The 29th version of the Cheney Rodeo comes out of the chute tonight when the cowboys and cowgirls start ropin' and ridin' at 7:30 at the Cheney Rodeo Grounds. Other than the new lights at the Rodeo Grounds - which means, of course, that the rodeo can now go on past dusk - the annual event will continue all the long-held traditions.

Laugh Off That Last Triple Bogey

Who would have thought a comedy show and a round of golf would be a good match? After you hack your way through 18 holes, break a few clubs and leave some balls in the water, you can laugh away your frustrations.

Lots Of Microbrews Complement Great Food At New Moon Time

The menu at the new Moon Time in Coeur d'Alene elevates pub grub to new heights. Instead of the classic beer accompaniments like pickled pig's feet, try sinking your chompers into a Caribbean pork sandwich - meat basted in a ginger-orange sauce and served with carmelized onions. Or, a lamb sandwich is given a Greek accent with a side of tzaziki, the yogurt-cucumber salad. The ale house and restaurant was recently launched at 1602 Sherman Ave. by John Grollmus, Jeff Meagher and Brad Fossen. They have transformed a former antique store-cafe into a homey, English-style pub complete with dartboards and a copper bar.

Reader Review

Independence Day Tadashi Osborne: "Although it won't win any Oscars, other than for special effects, this movie is still good summer escapist fun replete with good guys kicking some serious evil alien invader butt. The movie rides the rails of becoming maudlin at points but never jumps the track."

Area’s Top Chefs Team Up For Merlot Celebration-Benefit

Here's a gastronomic fantasy: Get five of Spokane's hottest chefs together in one kitchen and have them cook up a meal to complement merlot, the state's hottest wine varietal. This is actually a dream that will come true during a lavish benefit dinner on July 26. The event is called Mostly Merlot (because a late-harvest gewurztraminer will be served with the dessert course). This event marks the first time Spokane's finest restaurants have collaborated on such a grand scale.

Critics’ Views Of ‘Phenomenon’

Here's what critics around the country are saying about "Phenomenon:" Jay Boyar/Orlando Sentinel: Imagine a honey-coated episode of "The X-Files" and you'll have the general idea of "Phenomenon." This movie's not just para-normal, it's also para-sappy.

Fireworks Night At The Ballpark

Following the Spokane Indians baseball game, a fireworks display will light up the skies. The first pitch is tossed at 7:05 p.m. Admission's $5.50 for box seats, $3.50 for reserved general admission.

‘Hunchback’ Has His Day

When it comes to making movies from established sources, Disney Studios has trademarked a curious hybrid type of film. It may not be, say, the book (eg., Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"), but neither is it something totally new. It's a variation that, in this case at least, is inventive, thrilling to the eyes and fulfilling to anyone longing for the underdog finally to have his or her day.

Reader Reviews

Twister Cheryl Fleming: "I think that every person involved with this movie thought nothing else really mattered as long as the special effects captured the audience. This movie proved that assumption to be false. The special effects of the tornado were thrilling, but I found it too silly and boring throughout, and even the storm damage was overdone." Striptease Lee: "I like a good striptease as much as the next man, but even her silicon boobs couldn't save this movie. And it is not a comedy. There are two jokes in the whole movie. It's totally unbelievable, and I hope nobody wastes their money on going to see it."

Studios Mix, Match Black, White Stars

"What is black and white and red all over?" The answer to that homonymous riddle is newspapers, a question any school child could answer back in the days when newspapers really were read all over. Here's one a little more current: "What's black and white and green all over?"

Beverly’s Premier Spot For Special Occasion Dinners

People often pick my cerebrum about where to celebrate life's special moments and have a great meal all at the same time. That can be a tall order. However, I have no reservations about recommending Beverly's at The Coeur d'Alene Resort as the region's premier special occasion dining spot. Its incredible view, gracious service and quietly elegant decor provide a fitting backdrop for an impressively broad menu. Many hotel restaurants play it safe by serving mostly mainstream selections and, to be sure, the prime rib is one of the hottest sellers at Bev's. But steaks and the like are nicely balanced with such inventive dishes as halibut and mussels in a Thai curry broth, a vegetarian version of sushi and a cheesy eggplant tamale pie.
