Fifty pairs of eyes mark your entrance into the studio. A menagerie of animals -- coyote, beaver, ducks -- once living in the wild. Now, in death, they are frozen in various poses, encased in Plexiglas tableaux. This one warily eying his surroundings; that one spooked by something, about to run for cover. They are not reanimated, but essentially dis-integrated and then re-integrated -- painstakingly, realistically, perhaps lovingly. Big Daddy's Taxidermy Studio opened three years ago on North Main in St. Charles' Frenchtown neighborhood. It is the livelihood of Jim Miller, a former construction worker who, after 30 years of breathing drywall dust, finally decided to pursue his passion of taxidermy.
TONIGHT Big Daddy Love
Big Daddy Kane (born Antonio Hardy) etched his name in hip-hop during the culture's 'golden era' when he stepped on the scene with the street smash, "Raw," introducing a new rhyme flow which forced emcees back to the drawing board.

Parents do not parent in isolation. Society greatly influences our children. It is narrow minded to think fathers should only parent or mentor their own children. Families function in communities and cities are made up of a lot of communities and society is influenced by what happens in our cities. Many of the negative values that our children pick up are from parents who raise their children one way and pollute the society with negative values. It's like crabs in a barrel when we treat other children different than we treat our own. Caring is caring.
