5 great things to do this week

Stage Sacrifice

finger Pickin’ good
If you like your seasonal Passion Plays with a bit of Broadway polish, you might be among those getting their Easter on a couple weeks early with Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre’s new production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Opening Saturday, March 21, this staging is uniquely set in the 1920s. The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera has been playing steadily around the world and in northeast Pennsylvania since it opened on Broadway in 1971. Inspired by, if not exactly faithful to, the account of Jesus’s final days as recorded in the Gospels, the plot zooms in on what it imagines as Judas’s disgruntled point of view. Directed by Dana Feigenblatt with musical direction by Nancy Evans, the cast features Mike Wawrzynek as Jesus Christ, Chris O’ Neal as Judas Iscariot, Amanda Reese as Mary Magdalene and Christian Lynch as Pontius Pilate. Shows run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. through March 29. Tickets are $20. Call (570) 823-1875 or visit ltwb.org for reservations or more information. — ag
The Hackensaw Boys acknowledges 19 different touring band members since its founding as Hackensaws in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1999. The name refers to the actions performed on mandolin and fiddle, that is hacking and sawing, respectively. The band developed its sound by busking on the streets and went on to play major U.S. music festivals including Bonnaroo, Floydfest and the All Good Music Festival. They’ve played instruments from banjo, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, bass and guitar to washboard, spoons, accordion, harmonica, charismo and drums. Among the members’ colorful nicknames are Spits, Pokey, The Lover, Slate Hill Phil, Jigsaw, The Kooky-Eyed Fox, Salvage, Uncle Blind Bonny, Pee Paw, Plantain, Shiner and Nugget. You can see the current line-up play Thursday, March 19 at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe before the boys take off for a European tour in April and May covering Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium. Thursday’s show is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. and features an opening set by Jim Thorpe’s own Free Range Folk. Call (570) 325-4009 or visit mcohjt.com for more information. — ag

a Polar Pioneer
Misericordia University welcomes polar explorer, environmental scientist, author and adventurer Tim Jarvis to campus in a week-long series of presentations and lectures that focus on climate change and global exploration. The public is invited to attend the free series of events. Jarvis delivers the keynote, “Course of Action: Lessons from a Lifetime of Polar Exploration,’’ on Monday, March 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall. Due to limited seating, tickets are required for this event. Reservations can be made by calling the Misericordia University Cultural Events Box Office at (570) 674-6719 or by logging on to cougarconnect.misericordia.edu/polar. A question-and-answer session and book-signing event will immediately follow Jarvis’ feature presentation. Throughout his career, Jarvis has worked to understand climate change through his experiences as an explorer and climate scientist. He is the author of Chasing Shackleton, a book about his most recent expedition in 2013 in which he recreated Sir Earnest Shackleton’s 1916 rescue mission across 800 miles of the Southern Ocean. Jarvis used a replica life boat and the same equipment and period clothing as Shackleton in this endeavor. The Discovery Channel and PBS later made the book into a documentary. Jarvis is also the author of The Unforgiving Minute, which chronicles his first three polar expeditions. A screening of the Chasing Shackelton documentary takes place Friday, March 20, at 2 p.m. in Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall’s Huntzinger and Alden Trust Rooms 218-219. For more information about cultural events at Misericordia University, please log on to misericordia. edu/theartsandmore. — tg

NOT TOO HARD. NOT TOO SOFT.
SHE AND HIM — Classics THE GOOD: For their fifth, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward jump to Columbia Records and make a covers album. THE BAD: Deschanel’s modern indie pop compositions are sorely missed here. Thankfully, the album possesses many subtle charms. THE NITTY GRITTY: Classics is a breezy set of tunes split between standards (“Stars Fell On Alabama” and “We’ll Meet Again”) and ’60s pop gems (“Stay Awhile” and “This Girl’s In Love With You”). The duo recorded the old fashioned way — live and backed by either a small orchestra or an intimate set of players. Deschanel and Ward play it straight without going for weird instrumentation or quirky arrangements. They just let great songs steal the spotlight. When the two keep things simple, Classics doesn’t sound all that different from the pair’s past records. When the strings and horns seep in, the disc is reminiscent of those albums Linda Ronstadt cut with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra back in the ’80s. Either way, Classics is pure pleasure. BUY IT?: Sure. HOZIER — Hozier THE GOOD: Irish singer/songwriter Hozier gives us a soulful debut. THE BAD: This past fall and winter, you couldn’t escape the guy’s “Take Me to Church” (included here). Those completely burned out on the stirring ballad should still give the album a fair shake. THE NITTY GRITTY: Hozier is a gripping mix of honest songs painted with shades of soaring gospel, tattered blues and smooth blue-eyed soul. The guy can strike up an infectious rocker like “Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene” and “Sedated.” Yet he also churns out slow burns like the smoky “To Be Alone” or the folk-tinged

Valley Cabinet Center
romantic “Like Real People Do.” Hozier is not a one-note album and it’s certainly more multi-faceted than most collections that crossover into the mainstream. The artist isn’t afraid to experiment with different textures and show us varying mood swings. The set retains a somewhat melancholy vibe throughout but never slips into an all-too-predictable rut. It even has me looking forward to the follow-up. BUY IT?: Yes. SONDRE LERCHE — Please THE GOOD: Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche comes back with his seventh proper album. THE BAD: Like all of Lerche’s records, Please has its winners and duds. But the guy’s willingness to constantly experiment is what makes his albums appealing in the first place. Besides, the peaks far outnumber the valleys. THE NITTY GRITTY: Please is the usual mix of melodic indie pop tunes (the soaring “Legends”), darker material (the spooky blues permeating “At Times We Live Alone”), noisier moments (the jagged “Bad Law”) and some sticky sweet romance (“Sentimentalist”). Lerche is always very adept at covering all the bases; his sets never repetitive. If Lerche could be criticized for anything, it’s that he’s been making very similar albums since the turn of our century. You kind of already know what you’re in for with every new release. However, the formula is just too damn agreeable to warrant a change. The man may not make GREAT albums, but he makes damn good ones. BUY IT?: Sure.

Still Bad
GeorGe thoroGood and the deStroyerS Strut their Stuff at the kirBy center
For 40 years, George Thorogood and the Destroyers have been ambassadors for gritty, roots-based rock and roll. Now a legend in his own right, George Thorogood’s career includes massive original hits like “Bad to the Bone” and “I Drink Alone,” as well as acclaimed versions of “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Who Do You Love” and “Move It On Over.” The band has continued to tour tirelessly, and will make its way to the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, March 19. Between breaks on the touring schedule, Thorogood spoke with us about his long career, touring hard and making music. Even with so many instantly recognizable songs and an unmistakable sound, Thorogood reflects on his legacy as merely the result of hard work. “Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Thorogood said. “If I’ve developed a legacy, or all the kinds of things you say I have, that comes from your direction, not mine. I’m just here plugging away, trying to pay the rent and keep my head above water like any other working stiff.” George Thorogood and the Destroyers began in the early ’70s, and quickly made a splash with a mixture of modern rock tendencies and classic, blues guitar tunes. Today, Thorogood’s music is known worldwide and continues to play from speakers and headphones of people of all generations. “It wasn’t my intention when I started,” Thorogood said. “I was thinking ‘If I could just get a gig tomorrow,’ or ‘If I could just get a record deal,’ or ‘If I could just keep working into the middle of next year.’ From our end, that’s how we look at it. The adoring public — bless ’em — have a whole different image of what somebody’s doing. It’s a different perspective when you’re on a bandstand from when you’re not.” Thorogood is known for his tireless commitment to the road. With a band that tours and has racked up a legendary schedule — including the “50/50” tour that featured 50 cities in 50 nights — there’s little room for rest. A noted baseball fan, Thorogood compares his schedule to the grueling 162 game schedule of a major league player. It can’t be easy to get out and perform time and time again, but Thorogood says he doesn’t know how to do much else. “I’m paid well,” he says. “That helps! I mean, Lou Gherig went out there every day, didn’t he? Cal Ripken and so on. You just don’t put that kind of
26 M a r c h 1 9 , 2 0 1 5
thought into it. I really don’t have any choice, to tell you the truth. I’m hired to do these things and try to get as much sleep as I can the night before. This is what I am. This is what I do. I’ve been this kid since I was 15. Everybody said ‘This guy is a natural for performing, he gets people’s attention right away, but he has to learn to do something!’ That was part of it. I better learn to sing or play guitar or piano or do something. I got everybody’s attention. I’m enjoying it, but I’m not delivering with anything. So I had to find an instrument I could deliver.” The instrument in question is, of course, the guitar — and Thorogood’s slide work is recognizable from a mile away. Still, he says he views playing as a work in progress. “We’re all still working to sound like Jimi Hendrix, but I don’t think we’re going to make it.” The extensive touring schedule means lots of time bouncing to new areas, but the Delaware native says he tries to learn about each place he visits. During shows, Thorogood is known for inserting bits and pieces of local information and quips into the lyrics of the songs. Bluesy, spoken-word interludes allow for a fair amount of banter about a town or city. “It’s part of the job. You have to want to, you have to be excited about each place and find out as much about it as you can,” he says. “Is it a big city or is it a small town,? What market is it? What is it famous for, and what is it not famous for? There’s 50 percent of me that’s just interested like that anyway when I travel, which I enjoy. Then there’s half of me that says, ‘Well, it’ll help out your job, too, to show some interest in the places you’re going to.’ So it’s six of one, half dozen of the other.” But, after having seen so much of the world on the road, are there any favorite cities or areas? “Wherever we’re working that night is the one we’re most partial to,” says a coy Thorogood. With so much time on the road, Thorogood still finds energy to put on an energetic show, delighting audiences and getting people out of their seats and moving. Even on off days, the audience can still expect a world class show. “That’s the idea of being a professional, isn’t it?” says Thorogood. “Nolan Ryan once pitched a game with a 100 degree temperature, something like that. The guy had no choice. You’ve got to go out and work. Didn’t you ever go to work some days when you didn’t feel that good? The audience paid the money and bought the tickets. They’re not going to want to hear that George Thorogood

George thorogood doesn’t feel good. They want to hear ‘Bad to the Bone.’ Period. No matter what kind of condition I’m in.” On that note, does anyone in the band keep track, or have a rough idea of how many times they’ve played some of the hits? “We don’t even think about it anymore.” It’s not just endless touring for Thorogood — 2011 saw the release of a new Destroyers album, and a rerelease of the original George Thorogood & The Destroyers album is currently in the works. “It’s coming out in the spring or summer,” Thorogood says. “We cut the original round of records without a bass and Rounder will release that in its original form. We’re also talking about maybe someday doing a solo album just by myself.”
A Thorogood solo album sounds interesting, so we have to ask whether he’s been kicking around ideas recently, or working on anything in particular. “Yeah, only since 1973,” he says. Apparently Thorogood still has a lot to say. “It’ll be a triple album!” It’s a joke, but one can’t help but wonder. George Thorogood’s career spans four decades and he’s still rocking audiences and keeping a rigorous schedule with the Destroyers. What kind of thoughts does a guy like that have about getting up every day and playing music? “Rock and roll never really goes to sleep; it just passes out for a little while.” — tucker hottes

change is in the aiR Mohegan sun pocono pResident and ceo Michael Bean talKs aBout the futuRe Talk about the name change to Mohegan Sun Pocono. When Mohegan Sun purchased Pocono Downs 10 years ago, the name “Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs” was a great fit for us because we built a small slot machine casino within an existing racetrack facility that had long-standing name recognition. Over the years, as the result of the hard work of our outstanding Mohegan Sun team, our property has grown exponentially. In 2008, we opened Project Sunrise, featuring 14 bars and restaurants, retail shopping, a comedy club and more. In 2010, Project Blackjack provided the addition of table games to our product mix. In 2013, Project Sunlight added a beautiful hotel, convention & events center, Spa Sapphire and more recently, the Elixir lobby bar. Given the resort destination we have become, “Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs” is no longer the best description of who we are since the “Downs” portion of the name emphasizes only our racing amenity, placing slots, table games and the many other amenities we offer on lesser footing. It is now more appropriate to emphasize the “Mohegan Sun” brand as a whole without the prominence of any particular amenity in the name. As the larger Mohegan Sun organization continues to grow, maintaining the “Pocono” designation as part of the name will distinguish us from other Mohegan Sun properties and maintain an appropriate piece of the long-standing brand. Talk about the expansion of the nightlife and entertainment aspects of Mohegan Sun Pocono? We are always working at providing our guests with more reasons to visit us. We have gotten to the point where guests can visit us every day of the week and have a completely different experience each time. Continuing to offer more and more things like concerts, live bands, comedy, cooking shows, shopping, slots, table games, poker, many dining choices, a luxury spa and more are part of that effort. With the addition of the ballroom, comedy events and outdoor events like Parties on the Patio and Oktoberfest, how important is it to you personally to keep your visitors consistently entertained? It’s very important because we are all about
providing a great experience to our guests and entertainment is a big part of that. We like to mix it up with different types and genres of entertainment, so we always have something for everybody. What are some new ways you’d like to improve the Mohegan Sun Pocono experience for your guests? Our team here does a great job of taking care of our guests and has for a long time. It’s the thing I’m the most proud of about Mohegan Sun Pocono. Enhancing our guests’ experience will continue by adding new categories of amenities, meaning not just a new restaurant, but an entirely new type of amenity. We have some things on the drawing board. What are some acts you would love to see make a stop in the future at Mohegan Sun Pocono? There are so many good entertainers out there, so it’s hard to pick any one in particular. We will keep our entertainment offerings fresh for our guests, so we’re looking at a wide variety of acts including comedians, classic rock, country, Las Vegas-style shows and some different types of theatre performances. Do you have any personal highlights in the entertainment schedule this spring? It’s a little too early to make any announcements, but the Party on the Patio lineup will come out in late March with some audience favorites from past years, along with some new tribute bands. Our website and mobile app will continue to be updated with the latest entertainment information.

Curses, Foiled AgAin • British police investigating the theft of tools and a shower stall from a home remodeling project in Crawley arrested Ryan Marsh, 18, after he returned to the job site and tried to sell the items back to the contractor. (Britain’s Crawley News) • Police looking for the man who beat up a woman in Ambridge, Pa., and held her captive for 12 hours, found him trying to flee town by bus. An hour after the victim called 911, suspect Donald Harrison, 22, posted the Facebook message, “IT’S TIME TO LEAVE PA.” The next day, she told police she spotted Harrison’s selfie on Facebook, announcing, “OMW TO SPARTANSBURG SC.” The Spartanburg bus had just left, so officers caught up to it and arrested Harrison. “We like it when dumb criminals assist in our investigation,” police Chief James Mann said, noting the Pittsburgh suburb has already been featured on “World’s Dumbest Criminals” for “a couple of things.” (Beaver County Times) lAw-MAkery A bill introduced in the Hawaii House would let people change gender on their birth certificates without first having a sex-change operation. “There’s a lot of people out there for whom gender identity and self-expression are fundamental issues,” said Rep.

Her arrest warrant said boyfriend Reginald Leon Lee, 34, got into an argument with another customer and chased him out by waving his gun. While putting the gun back in his waistband, he fumbled, and the weapon accidentally fired. Lee claimed a stranger had shot him, but surveillance video proved otherwise. It showed Stern running out with the gun but without the child.

Officials said the boy’s grandmother, an aunt and a co-worker of the aunt also took part in the ordeal, during which the boy was tied up and threatened with a gun, had his pants removed and was told he could be sold into sex slavery.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM
by Jeff Boam
OPENING THIS WEEK
Insurgent Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort In this PG-13-rated live sci-fi-thriller based on the bestselling book series by Veronica Roth, Beatrice Prior (Woodley) must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side. The Plus: The source material. For an industry always looking to find the next Harry Potter or Twilight series, Divergent is a better bet than most. The book already sold more than 5 million copies, had a long run on The New York Times Young Adult Best Seller list and won “Favorite Book of 2011” in the Goodreads Choice Awards. Plus, the first flick in the series, Divergent, made more than $288 million worldwide. Here, Robert Schwentke (RED) directs Woodley (The Descendents), Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars), Kate Winslet (Labor Day), Miles Teller (Whiplash), Jai Courtney (Unbroken), Naomi Watts (Birdman), Maggie Q (Priest), Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), Ashley Judd (Dolphin Tale 2), Tony Goldwyn (ABC’s Scandal) and Octavia Spencer (Black & White). The Minus: The change-up. Insurgent comes complete with a new director (Schwentke replaces Neil Burger), new writing team (Brian Duffield, Akiva Goldsman and Mark Bomback replace Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor) and a plan to spin the third book, Allegiant, into two movies.

The Gunman Sean Penn, Idris Elba In this R-rated actioner, a former Special Forces soldier and military contractor (Penn) suffering from PTSD tries to reconnect with his longtime love, but first must go on the run from London to Barcelona and across Europe in order to clear his name. The Plus: The genre. When lightning strikes, it strikes BIG with R-rated actioners. Just consider the hard-hitting run of Liam Neeson (Taken, The Grey, Taken 2, Non-Stop), the successful punch of The Expendables flicks and box office boffo of Lucy. Here, The Gunman boasts two key features: Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn (Mystic River, Milk) and Pierre Morel, director of Taken. The Minus: The odds. So far as genre, Neeson’s A Walk Among the Tombstones and Taken 3 took in far less than its predecessors. Just last weekend, Neeson’s Run All Night had the weakest opening since his tenure as action hero began. Likewise, Expendables 3 didn’t fare nearly as well as chapters 1 and 2. Insurgent will take the pole position this weekend, but The Gunman has to cover a lot of ground to cover to beat out Cinderella for the number two spot.

Focus Will Smith, Margot Robbie HH1/2 — The Pursuit of Haplessness Despite boasting the Confidence of some A-level Grifters, Will Smith’s occasionally slick but mostly uneven caper float like a butterfly and Sting like a C. In this R-rated crime-drama, an accomplished femme fatale (Robbie) throws a veteran con man’s (Smith) latest scheme for a loop. The whole affair looks like a high end car commercial, the scenery literally glimmering and the stars practically shimmering. Indeed, the movie and its trappings are a good-looking bunch all around. This window dressing proves to be a slight of hand, however, pulling your attention away from a script that alternates between being too convoluted or easy-peasie in all of the wrong places. In the first act, Focus takes a softball approach to setting up a romance that you can see coming from a mile away, love blossoming over a series of scams perpetrated by our con man and con woman. But wait, there’s an angle! Most movies would call a reversal of attraction in the second act a twist, but because its a caper flick, the audience knows enough to smell a red herring at this point. Then, when it comes time to pull a big job and reunite the former lovebirds in the third act, the movie, ahem, loses focus with a muddled triple-crossing inside job. With such a complicated scheme devised, the climax should boast a better payoff. Ultimately, Focus ends up as more of a small con than a big score, which is slightly disappointing considering the marquee names involved. Its not for lack of trying. Likeable, but too recognizable, Will Smith finds himself in that awkward H’wood stage where moviegoers cant buy the actor as anything other than a movie star. Margot Robbie, meanwhile, steals every inch of digital dedicated to her character. Shes on her way to movie stardom, which makes the precise spit-shine and polish job by directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa all the easier.
SMALL SCREENS NOW PLAYING Cinderella Lily James, Cate Blanchett HHH1/2 — Bibbidi Bobbidi Yahoo Magically transforming a beloved cartoon into a grand ball of a live action flick, Disney’s classy and colorful take on Cinderella proves to be the furthest thing from an ugly stepsister. In this PG-rated live action retelling of the classic fairy tale from director Kenneth Branagh, a servant stepdaughter (James) living under the cruel regime of a wicked stepmother (Blanchett) wins the heart of a prince (Richard Madden). Unlike so many other recent revisionist fairly tales (Red Riding Hood, Snow White & the Huntsmen, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters), this property surprisingly and refreshingly plays it traditional. The narrative of this latest take derives mostly from the animated 1950 classic, with the titular servant girl getting a makeover that only lasts until midnight and attracts the ire of her wicked stepmother and the eye of a handsome prince. The script boasts a few thoroughly modern tweaks, however, including more of an independent streak in Cinderella that sees her perpetually repeating the mantra: “Have courage, be kind.” Borrowing also a little from the 1998 Drew Barrymore Cinderella update Ever After, this refurbished version manages to make it relatable to young ladies while keeping the original source material close to its heart. She might not be completely dependent on a man, but she’s thrilled to be pursued just the same. And that’s the divisive charm of this version: It’s for dreamers, not for hard-bitten cynics. As if clad in a Technicolor dreamscape, the hues in the settings, costuming and makeup pop with an almost epic richness. Likewise, the beautifully staged musical numbers — old and new — lull all but the most persnickety viewers. Director Kenneth Branagh, regaining the crowd-pleasing footing of fantastical Thor after misstepping with the failed franchise reboot Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, deserves great acclaim for making this magic happen. Reminiscent of the balletic scope of his 1996 production of Hamlet, the movie’s as eye catching as ear catching. Here, he’s assembled an amazing team including screenwriter Chris Weitz, who crafts dialogue that efficiently provides exposition without losing its zing and set designer Dante Ferretti, a frequent collaborator with Martin Scorsese. Without performances by the sure-bet-next-big-thing Lily James, a delicious villainous turn by Cate Blanchett and the shopworn absentminded zaniness of Helen Bonham-Carter, however, this shoe wouldn’t fit.
Pulp Fiction (1994) John Travolta, Uma Thurman HHHHH — Le Big Mac Daddy Having recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, one of the ’90s most influential films proves as insane, incendiary and intoxicating as ever. In this R-rated modern classic, the lives of two mob hit men (Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson), a boxer (Bruce Willis), a gangster’s wife (Thurman) and a pair of diner bandits (Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer) intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption. Bursting at the supermarket paperback seams with enough story for an entire movie marathon and more edgy style than a retro pop station bank catalog, this artfully dialogued slice of neo-noir still makes you laugh even when a violent blood-drenched death practically lies at your feet. There’s no reason this mash-up of time-hopping cultural touchstones should work. And yet, hindsight being 20/20, there’s every reason: Quentin Tarantino. His love for crackling language and deep, almost criminally insane, appreciation of film history collides in a brilliant patchwork of capers. Consider the richness of each segment even though the generous meat of the back-and-forths hangs on a thin frame. The devil is in the details, whether it be words, locations, soundtrack, or — most importantly — casting. Sure, it starts to feel long even when you can quote it line for line — these characters and their story still have A-level character.

The nepa WingMen
Up Close & personal
Man vs. Wing They turn their superhero capes around into makeshift bibs and do the dirty work for you. They eat wings. NEPA is known for pizza, but the yin to that cheesy-yang is the hot wing. What if you walk in to a wing spot and realize it isn’t wing night? What if the wings are small, tasteless or (gasp) microwaved?
40 M a r c h 1 9 , 2 0 1 5
The NEPA Wingmen are here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. They might not call themselves heroes — OK, they might — but the duo has been friends almost as long as their wing obsession runs deep. Matt Lynch, originally from Greenfield Township, went to Lakeland High School (Class of 2004) with his buddy from Mayfield, Matt Serniak. Both went to Penn State, University Park. From there, Lynch did a stint in West Chester, but the finger-lickin’ valley called him back and he’s lived in Scranton ever since. He enjoys brewing beer (which Serniak describes as “luxurious”) and geochaching. Serniak traded in his criminal justice degree and is now a substitute teacher, or, as he calls it, an “aspiring teacher.” In Serniak’s spare time, he’s a stand-up comedian and a member of the improv ensemble, “Unorganized Business.”

Serniak might be the official joker of the two, but their timing together is better than bleu cheese. Serniak is sort of the hype man with Lynch deadpanning responses, but what the guys take seriously is their love of all things wing. Meet the NEPA Wingmen … What took your casual love of hot wings to this level? Lynch: Originally, we used to go to this place in Peckville called Purv’s. It was such an awesome place. We went there for wing night — not every week — but almost every week. The place was really cool. The owner was great. They had a great beer selection and fantastic wings! Sadly, they closed down. It was probably one of the worst things that could ever happen in our lives.
You would have to agree with that, wouldn’t you, Serniak? Serniak: It was bad! Lynch: It was very bad. After that happened, we would go for wings, but every so often we’d have something called Man Meal with our friends. Sometimes we went to restaurants and all-you-caneat buffets — that kind of stuff. After a couple years of doing that … we didn’t do Man Meal as much as we used to. We were living together and we were like, “Let’s find another wing place, let’s see if we can find someplace like Purv’s.” So, I created a spreadsheet on my computer. It had a couple columns. It had the wing place name, location, wing night, wing price and their phone number. We decided to start rating these places, because we were going to all these places and how would
/CULTURE
we remember what we liked best? So, we came up with a rating scale. After about four or five visits, we said, “Why don’t we keep track of this somewhere?” So that’s where the website came from. It started from this little spreadsheet. Tell us about these WingCasts — the podcasts you guys are doing. Serniak: Well, like Matt Lynch said, we were doing the write ups and we went to a lot of places and it just hit us, like, “Hey, why don’t we just record it on Lynch’s MacBook? So, hey yeah, let’s do a podcast now.” We’re kind of revisiting the places we’ve rated because now we want an audio podcast for it and it has been really good. They’re around 12 to 18 minutes long — some are shorter. We’re just having a blast doing it. What other things have you gotten to do because of your love of the wing? Lynch: In August of 2014, Serniak and I got to be a part of the Wings at the Waterpark event at Montage Mountain. The event featured about 20 different wing places where the people who attended voted on the craziest wing, the hottest wing and the best wing. We were in charge of tallying up votes and judging the wing-eating contest. It was great because all the proceeds benefited the Boys and Girls Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania. I’m hoping we get to be a part of it again this year. For the future, we were thinking of possibly doing a collaborative podcast. One person we’d like to podcast with is the guy who runs the NEPA Pizza Review. We’ve been talking to him and he seems like a cool guy. Plus nothing goes better together than pizza and wings. It just seems like a good fit. So, how are the wings rated? Serniak: The rating system has four different criteria. The first is the “environment/service.” Then we have “amount of wing flavors.” Then we have “wing size/price” and then the “taste” score, of course, and that’s double weighted — that gets double points. Lynch: Everything is rated on a scale up to 10. So, you have the four categories which would be 40, but then we double the taste, like Serniak was saying, and that makes it 50 that we could each contribute to it and then the total would be 100 max. It hasn’t happened. Regarding wing flavors, but it’s also the uniqueness. If you have a wasabi ranch wing, that’s not very common, so that’s going to rate the score a little bit higher. Serniak: We’ve been to a couple places that have 20 wing flavors and we’ll give them a good rating, but then we’ve been to places that have nine wing flavors, but the uniqueness of all the sauces

and the variety of it and the difference between all of them, we rate that sometimes higher than the one with 20. How often do you take a wing trip and rate a place? Lynch: We rate a place once a week. Right now, we’re actually taking a bit of a break … Serniak: I gave up meat for Lent. I haven’t had wings since Lent started and honestly, it’s a real killer. Do you have the sweats? Serniak: I’m kind of detoxing as we speak. I’m itching my arm as we’re talking about hot wings right now and going through withdrawal. Yeah. How are you two not fat? Or clutching your chests having heart attacks? Lynch: That’s a good question: How are we not fat? Serniak: Oh, yeah! (laughing) Lynch: We try to limit the wings to once a week. When we go for wings, we do order a lot, because I like to try as many flavors as possible. I’m not having wings every night. I don’t know if I could do that — I would love to, but I don’t know if my body would be a fan of that. Serniak: (Jokingly) Honestly, it takes hard work to look this good, OK? It’s not an accident…
For more information on The Wingmen and their upcoming NEPA Wing Tournament visit nepawingmen.com. Says the man in detox! How long has the website been around? Lynch: I think it’s been around since March or April 2012, so it’s nearing or we may have just passed three years. Serniak: Wow, I didn’t even think about it like that. That’s a lot of wings! It sure is! This sounds like an awesome job. If you could do this full time, that would be… Serniak: Yes! Full time employment eating wings is like the Mecca that I aim for. It’s the American Dream. Lynch: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s the American Dream. What else is in store for the NEPA Wingmen? Lynch: We had somebody contact us who have their own homemade wing sauces that they make and I’m like, “That would be pretty cool to start getting into product reviews.” Beyond the audio podcast is a video podcast, but I don’t know how that would work. Would we podcast at the restaurant? That would be weird to see us eating wings for the podcast. I don’t think that would fly. Serniak: We don’t tell people who we are when we go to a place. We never have. Lynch: That would be strange. There are times we’ve been recognized. There are people who know who we are. When we go to the V-Spot, for
example, they know who we are and they don’t treat us — at least, I don’t think so — any better, or any worse (thankfully). Serniak: We’ll walk in, they’ll make a little joke that we’re there, but it’s all in fun. After three years, at any point, do you ever think, “Man, we’re running out of places.” Lynch: I’m not sure, because there’s always new places coming in, there’s places leaving, places going under new ownership. I love seeing that sort of stuff happen. Places expanding, for example, the Chicken Coop, it moved into Old Forge, so I want to check out the Old Forge location. We’re not above going to chains. We’re not above anything. Serniak: No! Lynch: I’ll be the first to say it. Serniak: I’ll be the second to say it! Lynch: (to Serniak) Thank you. I like that back up. We’ve been to Buffalo Wild Wings and Quaker Steak. We have new places coming in all the time. And there’s always… Serniak: … a Renaissance of wing places coming in? Lynch: Yeah, I’ll agree with that. And we’ll always ask people for new places. Serniak: We do our best to get around to everyone’s suggestions. — kimberly m. aquilina

Guasto’s at the Jazz set to oPeN IN PLaINs toWNshIP Chef Jim Guasto brings modern American cuisine to his new restaurant inside of an area entertainment institution. Guasto’s at The Jazz opened Wednesday, March 18, in its new home — the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Township. The businesses will share the space. Guasto, formerly of 279 Bar and Grill in Plains Township, worked with Rob Friedman, owner of the River Street Jazz Cafe, to make the idea become reality. The River Street Jazz Cafe opened more than two decades ago, and is now one of the most popular local venues for live and original music. “Wouldn’t it be great to go to a place, have a great dinner and then chill out, have a drink, and see a great show?” Guasto said. “That’s our concept.” The Jazz Cafe, tucked off River Street near the Cross Valley Expressway, offers plenty of parking
and is easy to find for diners or music lovers. It’s a great location and, with its signature mural, offers a great atmosphere for dining or entertainment, Guasto said. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity.” Guasto’s menu will include full entrees, appetizers and more at reasonable prices. He’s committed to serving good, quality food with fresh ingredients. For example, he’s working with a fishmonger to get deliveries twice a week. “It’s all going to be fresh. It’s going to be healthy,” he said. “You’re not going to get frozen product here.” He’ll also be running regular specials. Dinners will be family and child friendly, and a new Guasto’s late night menu will be available until midnight Fridays and Saturdays. As the weather gets nicer, there will be space for outdoor dining. The chef is working hard to get the kitchen
Guasto’s at the Jazz Location: 667 N. River St., Plains Township. Hours: Wednesdays to Saturdays, 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.; late night menu, Fridays to Saturdays, until midnight. Contact: (570) 822-2122 Online: facebook.com/guastos, riverstreetjazzcafe.com. and menu ready to go for opening night. Guasto referenced the concept of mise en place, a French term that means “putting in place” and references organizing and arranging ingredients in a professional kitchen. “It’s the way I live,” he said. While at 279 Bar and Grill, Guasto often invited area chefs to come in and cook for tastings and special events. He plans to do the same at Guasto’s. Other events might include wine dinners or dinner shows. Area chefs like John Tabone, Michael Langdon, Gene Philbin, Jeff Huntzinger and Chris Mullin have been very supportive of the venture, Guasto said. Almost 1,000 have already liked the restaurant’s Facebook page, more than a week before the opening. Guasto also plans to keep supporting local businesses in this new venture. Keith Perks, local photographer and graphic designer, put together the restaurant’s logo. Electric dance music group The Egg performed on Guasto’s opening evening. (Dinner reservations are recommended.) Other performances that week include Rolling Stone tribute Satisfaction on Thursday, March 19, and Suze on Friday, March 20. — kristen gaydos

Liquid
BOARD CERTIFIED DOC TORS
Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane Beer in Iceland was illegal until 1989. That means, if you are of drinking age, beer was most likely prohibited in Iceland during your lifetime. It is now their most popular alcoholic beverage there. Apparently, they’ve done some good things in the last 26 years. With berry ales and toasted porters, they’ve had some experimentation. This week, I’m sampling a brew from Ölvisholt Brugghús. Located in an old dairy farm in Southern Iceland, they have an active volcano, Hekla, which is visible from their brewhouse door. It is after this they named their Smoked Imperial Stout “Lava.” While that is exciting, the words “Smoked Imperial Stout” do a little more for me than an actual volcano. Those words lead me to believe that the bottle has liquid ashes from an alcoholic campfire inside. While that might not sound appealing to you, to me, that sounds a bit like heaven. The pour was nice, thick and dark. It was like syrupy liquid night coming out of the bottle. Despite the obviously full body, there was still a thin grey head of foam on top that looked rather inviting. It did leave lacing as I drank it, but it did not linger long. This brew was too heavy to cling onto anything
alcohol. It seemed pretty straightforward and simple. I thought that was all there was to it and that was fine. It was delicious and didn’t need any subtleties getting in the way of that. This brew was big and bad and that’s all it needed to be. As I drank more, the taste really opened up. As usual with these big beers, the tongue just needed to get past its initial shock of all the big flavors. There was a great deal of sweetness in there as well. A formidable chocolate presence made itself known that would have been a little too much if it wasn’t for the strong smoke flavor. It cuts the sweetness enough to make it more than palatable. The flavors blend together nicely to create a complexity that is above its simple parts. The nice thick body also provided a great mouth feel. The brew felt quite nourishing to swallow, like it is providing the body with some decent sustenance. It was creamy, adding to the presence of the chocolate flavors present in the beer. While certainly not a session beer by any stretch of the imagination, a single glass of Lava is a great experience. Lava was my first Icelandic brew. While originally brewed for the Swed-

Welcomes
for any amount of time. The first sniff is of alcohol and smoke. Once you can get past it, there are traces of sweet malt and chocolate that, in combination, reminds me of a brownie. Well, it reminds me of a brownie baked in a campfire if they replaced all the liquid in the recipe with booze. Again, this sounds great to me. At first, the taste was all stout, smoke and
ish market, it has since been made available in its native Iceland and, more importantly for me, America. It’s delicious and a pleasure to drink in every way. Lava is well-crafted, having not only superb taste, but also a great mouth feel. Good job, Iceland! Way to legalize beer in my lifetime.

Psycho sudoku “kaidoku”
Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with wellknown English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first). Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too). Now stop wasting my precious time and SOLVE!

The sociopaTh of LeasT ResisTance My girlfriend has been hurt, cheated on and even ripped off in past relationships and I’m paying the price. If I don’t text back immediately, she is convinced I’m dumping her and flips out. If I’m busy, she thinks I’m with another girl or abandoning her. When I do something sweet, she thinks I’m trying to play her. All I want is to have a nice relationship with her. Am I fighting a losing battle, or can a little good from a caring, ethical guy allow a woman to let go of a lot of bad? — Optimist A woman like your girlfriend, with a history of dating shady guys, can find the most inconsequential things suspicious, down to the way you drip creamer into your coffee — surely Morse code telling that pretty woman across the cafe that you want to have sex with her. You: “Uh … you mean the woman canoodling with her girlfriend in the ‘Keep Calm and Kiss Lesbians’ T-shirt?” There are a few world-class deceivers out there, and it can be hard to see who they really are until you’re looking at a small pile of cracker crumbs where the money in your bank account used to be. But, typically, a woman who’s frequently chumped by bad guys is not just their victim; she’s her own. Repeat suckerization often comes out of low selfworth. But it almost always comes out of refusing to do the necessary homework — observing a potential partner’s behavior over time and seeing whether it matches up with the person they claim to be. Your girlfriend appears to favor a popular shortcut — cannonballing into a relationship and hoping things turn out okay. Until … whoops! He was just helping her best friend fix her sheets, and then the most amazing thing happened — all of his clothes fell off. Considering that your girlfriend probably feels cruelly abandoned whenever you stop talking long enough to sneeze, lead with the reassurance that you love her and want to be with her. Then tell her it hurts your feelings that she doesn’t give you credit for who you’ve shown yourself to be — a loving boyfriend who’s given her no reason to believe he’d ever run some scam on her. Explain that for your relationship to make it, you need to see her working on her issues — in a therapist’s office and/or with a great reason-based self-help book, Dr. Albert Ellis’ “A Guide to Rational Living” (because her flip-outs are ultimately caused by her failing to apply reason). Gently point out that just because she has a
feeling — like jealousy or anxiety — she doesn’t have to act on it. Sure, in the moment, it’s easy to go straight to crazytown. Avoiding that takes preplanning. She needs to resolve to instead pull out the evidence — the spreadsheets of your prior behavior — and assess the likelihood that what you’re “picking up at the store” is actually just milk and not a 5’10” blonde. Give yourself a deadline to see some progress. Not necessarily miraculous change but some indication that she’s trying — and that you might someday be greeted with a kiss and a “How was your day?” instead of a gavel and a “How do you plead?” deaR in The headLighTs When I talked on the phone to a woman I met on a dating site, I told her I really like hiking, and she said she did, too, so I made our first date a hike. It was a really easy hike, but she complained the whole time, wore the wrong shoes and lagged behind. She finally admitted that she never hikes. It isn’t the first time this has happened. Why do women say they like hiking when they hate it and never do it? — Just Be Honest Okay, so this woman’s idea of an invigorating nature trek is cutting across a grassy median to get to a shoe sale. Hiking is so easy to like in the abstract, on the phone — especially when you like hiking and the woman wants you to like her. She may even picture herself hiking — up a fake rock in Chanel shorts at a Vogue photo shoot — and believe that she could be into it. And then, when she feels a twinge of guilt for telling a fibby, she probably tells herself that once you fall for her, you’ll realize it’s a small price to pay that her feet don’t take kindly to parting company with pavement. The bottom line for you? Assume that anyone you meet — especially on the Internet — is lying about absolutely everything until proven otherwise. (Yeah, of course she enjoys seeing birds in formation — in valu-paks at the grocery store.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re entering a time and space known as the Adlib Zone. In this territory, fertile chaos and inspirational uncertainty are freely available. Improvised formulas will generate stronger mojo than timeworn maxims. Creativity is de rigueur and street smarts count for more than book-learning. May I offer some mottoes to live by when “common sense” is inadequate? 1. Don’t be a slave to necessity. 2. Be as slippery as you can be and still maintain your integrity. 3. Don’t just question authority; be thrilled about every chance you get to also question habit, tradition, fashion, trendiness, apathy and dogma. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): By 1993, rock band Guns N’ Roses had released five successful albums. But on the way to record their next masterpiece, there were numerous delays and diversions. Band members feuded. Some were fired and others departed. Eventually, only one original member remained to bring the task to conclusion with the help of new musicians. The sixth album, Chinese Democracy, finally emerged in 2008. I’m seeing a similarity between Guns N’ Roses’ process and one of your ongoing projects, Taurus. The good news is that I think most of the hassles and delays are behind you, or will be if you act now. You’re primed to make a big push toward the finish line. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The anonymous blogger at Neurolove.me gives advice on how to love a Gemini: “Don’t get impatient with their distractibility. Always make time for great conversation. Be understanding when they’re moody. Help them move past their insecurities and tell them it’s not their job to please everyone. Let them have space but never let them be lonely.” I endorse all that good counsel and add this: “To love Geminis, listen to them attentively and with expansive flexibility. Don’t try to force them to be consistent; encourage them to experiment
at uniting their sometimes conflicting urges. As best as you can, express appreciation not just for the parts of them that are easy to love but also for the parts that are not yet ripe or charming.” Now feel free, Gemini, to show this horoscope to those whose affection you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have recently been to the mountain top, at least metaphorically. Right? You wandered out to the high frontier and ruminated on the state of your fate from the most expansive vista you could find. Right? You have questioned the limitations you had previously accepted and you have weaned yourself from at least one of your devitalizing comforts and you have explored certain possibilities that had been taboo. Right? So what comes next? Here’s what I suggest: Start building a new framework or structure or system that will incorporate all that you’ve learned during your break. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the international code of food standards, there are 13 possible sizes for an olive. They include large, extra large, jumbo, extra jumbo, giant, colossal, super colossal, mammoth and super mammoth. If I had my way, Leo, you would apply this mind-set to everything you do in the coming weeks. It’s time for you to think very big. You will thrive as you expand your mind, stretch your boundaries, increase your territory, amplify your self-expression, magnify your focus and broaden your innocence. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Half the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough,” proclaimed humorist Josh Billings. That’s an exaggeration made for comic effect, of course. (And I think that some of life’s troubles also come from saying no too much and not saying yes enough.) But for you, Virgo, Billings’ advice will be especially pertinent in the coming weeks. In fact, my hypothesis is that you will be able to keep your troubles to a minimum and boost your progress
his exceptional talent as an analytical thinker. His attention to details was essential to his success and so was his expertise at gathering information. He did have a problem with addictive drugs, however. Morphine tempted him now and then and cocaine more often, usually when he wasn’t feeling sufficiently challenged. Let this serve as a gentle warning, Capricorn. In the coming weeks, seek more relaxation and downtime than usual. Focus on recharging your psychic batteries. But please be sure that doesn’t cause you to get bored and then dabble with self-sabotaging stimuli. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): English is my first language. Years ago there was a time when I spoke a lot of French with my Parisian girlfriend, but my skill faded after we broke up. So I’m not bilingual in the usual sense. But I do have some mastery in the language of music, thanks to my career as a singer-songwriter. Having raised a daughter, I also learned to converse in the language of children. And I’ve remembered and worked with my nightly dreams every day for decades, so I speak the language of dreams. What about you, Aquarius? In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll be challenged to make more extensive use of one of your second languages. It’s time to be adaptable and resourceful in your approach to communication. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you need a reason to think sharper and work smarter and try harder? I’ll give you four reasons. 1. Because you’re finally ready to get healing for the inner saboteur who in the past has undermined your confidence. 2. Because you’re finally ready to see the objective truth about one of your self-doubts, which is that it’s a delusion. 3. Because you’re finally ready to stop blaming an adversary for a certain obstacle you face, which means the obstacle will become easier to overcome. 4. Because you’re finally ready to understand that in order to nurture and hone your ample creativity, you have to use it to improve your life on a regular basis.

to a maximum by being frugal with yes and ample with no. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your mind says, “I need more room to move. I’ve got to feel free to experiment.” Your heart says, “I think maybe I need more commitment and certainty.” Your astrologer suggests, “Be a bit more skeptical about the dream lover who seems to be interfering with your efforts to bond with the Real Thing.” I’m not sure which of these three sources you should heed, Libra. Do you think it might somehow be possible to honor them all? I invite you to try. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Without your wound where would your power be?” asked writer Thornton Wilder. “The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living.” Let’s make that one of your ongoing meditations, Scorpio. I think the coming weeks will be an excellent time to come to a greater appreciation for your past losses. What capacities has your suffering given birth to? What failures have made you stronger? What crucial lessons and unexpected benefits have emerged from your sadness and madness? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Creating is not magic but work,” says Kevin Ashton, author of the book How to Fly a Horse: The Secret History of Creation, Invention and Discovery. In other words, inspiration is a relatively small part of the creative process. Over the long haul, the more important factors are self-discipline, organized thinking, hard work and attention to detail. And yet inspiration isn’t irrelevant, either. Brainstorms and periodic leaps of insight can be highly useful. That’s a good reminder as you enter a phase when you’re likely to be more imaginative and original than usual. I expect creative excitement to be a regular visitor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional detective Sherlock Holmes was a good Capricorn, born January 6, 1854. In the course of Arthur Conan Doyle’s 60 stories about his life, he revealed
