Taste for giving

L

SpeciaL ediTion

BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer

ocal Flavor loves any event that feeds the giving spirit as well as appetites.

And the 29th annual Great Chefs event fits all the criteria.

The event features an “Around the World” theme and will spotlight appetizers from various cultures.

The food was made by regional restaurants including Constantino’s Catering and Events, Pete’s Place at the Manor, Peculiar Slurp Shop, Terra Preta Prime and Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar, among others.

One dish guests can expect is Harvest’s Teriyak i Ve g e tabl e an d R i c e Bowl, prepared by sous chef John Michael AyalaRodriguez.

The recipe from Harvest, a farm-to-table restaurant that works with regional farmers to source products and ingredients, earned a $ 5 0 g i f t c a rd fo r W RC through Local Flavor Gives Back.

Aya l a - Ro d r i g u e z explained that the dish is a typical teriyaki bowl made with different kinds of veggies and flavors. He advised that cooks can make the dish their own, adding different kinds of meat, like chicken or beef, or substituting different kinds of vegetables.

Local Flavor has many teriyaki bowls but this dish’s blend of sweet and savory flavors was out of this world. If this sampling is any indication, guests at the event will get a taste of some of the best dishes

Up Close & Personal WITH EMMA BLACK

photo by emma black

Amber Cipriani is the new owner and art instructor at Electric City Art Studio located in the Marketplace at Steamtown.

She runs the studio, which offers classes for preschoolers through adults, with the support and help of her boyfriend, Norman Brown. The Drums native also is an elementary school art teacher in Hazleton Area School District. She received a bachelor’s degree in art education from Marywood University and a master’s degree in education from King’s College.

She lives in Scranton.

Meet Amber Cipriani...

Q: A:

What it is like teaching art at your alma mater?

I love being an art teacher. I’ve always been interested in art of any medium. It started in high school. My high school art teacher was a huge influence. We called her “The Art Room Mom.” My home school hired me, and I’ve been there since. I’m on year five.

Q: A:

What is it like to teach such fundamentals of art?

Having them learn the elements of art and the different parts of art and a little art history, it’s all about the creative process. I like to base my projects on an artist or a certain painting so they get a little information. It’s a lot of fun having them use different mediums and play.

A:

A lot of people ask me to make different things, so I make what people want. My most recent is murals. I painted the mural at Center City Wine Cellar. I just finished a few weeks ago. I recently won the “Your Art Here” contest, which is a mural I painted on the second floor here (at the Public Marketplace.) They’re very time consuming. I sell some paintings during First Friday. I was into fluid painting for a while. I’ve done them on large canvases. I’ve also started making my own jewelry with different kinds of stones and Brazilian stones. I make a lot of wreaths for people for different occasions, too.

A:

I think my biggest challenge right now is just how many kids and different abilities there are in a classroom at the same time and trying to get to every student in the 40-minute time period. It’s definitely challenging because you want to help every single kid but sometimes it’s just not possible. Doing small group class and keeping it around eight students is what I’d like to do for the art studio, so I can help every single student. I see about 600 students a week, and it’s hard to get to every single kid. Some of them I only see once a week, and that doesn’t help the kids who are really into art.

sort of set everything off.

Q: A:

What other hobbies and interests do you have?

I like to be outdoors. I have a standup paddle board, and we have kayaks, and we like to take the dogs out on walks. I’m in the gym every day and enjoy keeping active. I’m a huge beach person, so any chance I have to get to the beach is a good time, too.

Q: A:

Can you pinpoint a time or event in your life that helped shape the person you are today?

or Ballet Theatre of Scranton’s senior company, “Cinderella” proved to be a perfect fit.

Dancers from the studio will present the fairytale classic as their spring production on Saturday, May 4, at 2 and 7:30 p.m. at Theater at North, 1539 N. Main Ave., Scranton.

Tickets cost $15-$25 and can be purchased at tututix.com.

While audiences can’t expect the animated Disney version of the story, Ballet The-

atre artistic director Joanne D. Arduino said they will see the close relationship between Cinderella and her father, as well as the conflict between the young girl and her stepmother.

The third act features dances that highlight Andalusian, far Eastern and other cultures that represent the prince’s journey to find who fits the slipper.

“And from there, the story holds true,” Arduino said.

“He does find Cinderella and they live happily ever after.”

Selena Knowlton, who

danced with Ballet Theatre up until last year, stars as Cinderella, and Jose Hurtado portrays the Prince. Both are students at the Rock School for Dance Education, Philadelphia, and “talented young dancers,” Arduino said.

FILM

T

‘Avengers: Endgame’ a superhero adventure for the ages

hey saved maybe the best for the end.

I’m not prepared to instantly label “Avengers: Endgame” as the best of the 23 Marvel Universe movies to date, but it’s a serious contender for the crown, and it’s the undisputed champion when it comes to emotional punch.

If you don’t feel the tears welling up multiple times during this screen-filling, eyepopping, time-hopping, pulsepounding, beautifully filmed superhero adventure for the ages, check for a pulse — because you might be dead.

So much hype has swirled for so long in advance of this sure-to-crack-$2-billionworldwide insta-hit, you might have been wondering if even the combined powers of Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk, Captain America et al., would be strong enough to hold up under such an avalanche of expectations.

Not to worry. As the popular movie saying goes: They got this.

Thanks to a funny, wellpaced, smart, expertly rendered screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely; crisp direction from Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, who pull off the otherworldly feat of juggling a myriad of story arcs and a Hall of Fame lineup bursting with well over a dozen beloved superhero characters; and the universally stellar performances from a cast filled with Oscar winners, Oscar nominees and charismatic stars on the rise, “Avengers: Endgame” actually breezes through its nearly three-hour running time with nary a dull moment or a stumble in plot development.

G o t o t h e b at h ro o m BEFORE you enter the theater. You’re not going to want to miss a second.

“Endgame” begins with the first of many small, intimate, human f amily moments, involving one of the Avengers and his family in the moments just before (“Avengers: Infinity War” spoiler aler t!) T hanos snapped his evil fingers and made half the inhabitants of the entire universe (including many of our favorite superheroes) disappear in clouds of swirling black ash.

From there we cut to a core group of surviving Avengers, including Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), James Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who don’t look and sound anything like mighty warriors as they despair over their losses and wonder if they have any purpose in this new and devastated world.

Eventually we catch up with Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Thor/He’s Just Always Thor (Chris Hemsworth), each of whom has traveled a unique journey — one finding a measure of peace in a postsuperhero life, another utterly lost but eager to get back in the game, another fueled by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, and another who has let himself go and spends his days guzzling beer and playing video games.

touching moments AND some of the biggest laughs ever produced in any superhero movie in any universe.)

It’s Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, he of the super-duper shrinking abilities and the experiences with all that “quantum realm” scientific jazz, who comes up with a seemingly impossible proposition: Why don’t they expand on AntMan’s experience and take it to the next level? Like, go back in time to before Thanos accumulated all six Infinity Stones and festooned them to an Infinity Gauntlet, STOP him from acquiring the Stones, and that way he’ll never have the opportunity to snap his fingers and instantly kill half the populations of all the thousands of planets!

“You mean ... a time machine?” asks a fellow Avenger.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ Stars: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle and Paul Rudd Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language Running time: 182 minutes Grade: ★★★★ (out of four) Well, no, says Ant-Man. It would be more like, well, you know, it would be ...

All right: It’ll be a time machine.

This leads to a bounty of jokes about “Back to the Future” and other time-traveling movies, and then “Endgame” actually BECOMES a “Back to the Future”-type adventure, that is, if Marty McFly could actually McFly and he was joined on his time-hopping missions by all sorts of superheroes on multiple planets.

Working in teams of two, the Avengers travel to the Asgard and the Morag and the New York City of the recent past, and the New Jersey of about a half-century ago, among other stops. This leads to some double-trouble e n c o u n t e r s — C apt a i n America encounters earlier Captain America, Nebula (Karen Gillan) runs into previous Nebula, that sort of thing — and also presents multiple opportunities for various characters

to revisit loved ones who exist only in the past.

These superheroes never seem more human than when a son gets to talk to his father in a time period before the son was born, or a man sees the woman he never had the chance to be with, or a son is reunited with his mother on the day she will die.

In those moments, “Avengers: Endgame” is as emotionally affecting as any Marvel movie has ever been. But don’t put away the tissues, because even more powerful dramatic developments are yet to come. Amidst all the soaring and the blasting and the inevitable gigantic climactic battle, this is a genuinely moving drama involving certain characters we’ve come to know and love through the years.

Some of the Avengers are afforded major chunks of screen time; others have a line or two at the most. Yet somehow, all make a lasting impact. In a movie filled with terrific performances, the standouts are Scarlett Johansson, whose Black Widow has changed in so many ways since we first met her; Chris Hemsworth, providing a sur prising amount of comedic relief as a very different version of Thor; and most of all Robert Downey Jr., whose Tony Stark has always been the most fascinating, complex, multilayered, charismatic “civilian” persona of any superhero universe I’ve ever visited.

The Motion Picture Academy never recognizes great acting if it comes attached to a costume or a cape. That doesn’t mean Downey isn’t deserving of an Oscar. It’s great acting in a great film.

EMPTY BOTTLES/CALENDAR

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK

Tannat emerges as an underdog in easily drinkable red category Could tannat be the new malbec?

Uruguay’s trademark red grape offers a departure from cabernet and merlot.

I recently tried two tannats from up-andcoming South American wine industries in Brazil and Uruguay. Brazil may sound like a new wine discovery, but you may have had a magnum of Marcus James at some point.

Immigrants from Europe helped establish the wine industry in South America in the late 19th Century. Argentina and Chile surged in the late 20th century and threatened Uruguay’s wine industry, which was generally focused on local consumption. In the 1980s, Uruguay encouraged replanting and focused on imports. Since Argentina was

doing well with malbec, Chile had selected carmenere, and Uruguay picked tannat.

Tannat isn’t a completely obscure indigenous grape. Like better-known grapes, tannat traces its roots to Europe and a small region called Madiran in southwest France.

Tannat likes warm weather. Some adventurous winemakers in Virginia have been taking a crack at tannat with very good results.

California has some tannat as well. In France, meanwhile, tannat has been decreasing.

Tannat has proven very versatile and has been used to make convincing rosés, Portand nouveau-style wines.

By itself, tannat can be pretty tannic and

astringent. Its name comes from the word tannin, a substance in plants that gives the palate a sandy feeling, as when you drink black tea. Even when tannat is mentioned on the label, it often contains some other grape to counteract tannat’s rough spots.

Winemakers try to tamp that tannin down to make wines drinkable in youth. The wines I tried tasted pretty good, though similar to somewhat generic and drinkable red wines.

Lido Carraro Agnus 2014 Serra Caucha Tannat, the Brazilian entry, is very generic, tasting like many other red wines at this price, with vague fruit and a woodsy note. $12. ★★★.

Artesana 2015 Canelones Tannat smells of fresh berries, black plums and spice and has a light body, with a finish that offers the grip of trademark tannins. $12. ★★★1/2 Tannat is worth watching and checking in on. I like to root for the underdog, but I doubt tannat will become the next malbec. For now, it will have to get behind carmenere.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS

One-man bands Telekinesis, Toro y Moi soar; Xiu Xiu sinks into musical madness Telekinesis – ‘Effluxion’

THE GOOD: Telekinesis (singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Michael Benjamin Lerner) comes back with their (his) fifth.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Lerner took his time and crafted a bright tight indie pop record recalling contemporaries such as Born Ruffians and Local Natives and even vintage Matthew Sweet and Wilco The other person I kept harkening back to throughout “Effluxion” was early 70’s studio/pop wunderkind Emitt Rhodes. Rhodes was doing everything on his own records almost 50 years ago.

And the two men’s similar styles reach across the decades.

But “Effluxion” is NOT a retro throwback. The record is fully grounded “in the now.”

However, great intelligent pop knows no specific eras. It’s simply good music, and Telekinesis have created just that once again. The album also accomplishes a lot during its economical 31 minutes. There isn’t an ounce of fat on well-crafted catchy rockers like “Running like a River” and “Suburban Streetlight Drunk.” Lerner knows his stuff and is only improving with each subsequent release.

BUY IT?: Yes.

Toro y Moi – ‘Outer Peace’ THE GOOD: Toro y Moi (singer/songwriter/producer Chaz Bear) throws a house party on his sixth.

THE BAD: Yet another shift in direction, but Bear makes those work.

Be prepared.

THE NITTY GRITTY: After releasing 2017’s “Boo Boo,” Bear decided not to tour in the traditional sense. Instead, he spun DJ sets in various locations and wholly embraced club culture. That decision definitely influenced the music and production of “Outer Peace.”

“James Murphy’s spinning at my house.” Herewe get a 30-minute mix session;songs blending beautifully, creating a seamless set that pulsates in the beginning (“Fading” bangs), slows down across the middle (the melancholy “New House” is a warm welcome surprise), and picks up speed again for the conclusion (“Freelance” takes its frustrations out on the dance floor).

“Outer Peace” isn’t very close to anything the man has given us before. Yet it’s still distinctly HIM. The set also breathes new life into the work just in time for Bear to kick off a second decade making music.

BUY IT?: I would.

Xiu Xiu – ‘Girl with Basket of Fruit’ THE GOOD: Experimental indie outfit Xiu Xiu (California singer/ songwriter Jamie Stewart and a revolving door of collaborators) returns with a confrontational eleventh.

THE BAD: Where does the avant-garde end and self-indulgence begin? I asked that question a lot.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Usually, a Xiu Xiu record will give the listener something to embrace amongst the madness. This time, “Basket of Fruit” immediately launches into the weird and abrasive strains of the title cut, and the din is truly fascinating. After a few more songs though, fascination turns into frustration.

Stewart once again puts heaps of emotional baggage on display, but the backdrops are far too chaotic. We get some strange form of beat poetry spread over scratchy strings, synth squiggles, hammering rhythms and otherworldly noises. “Pumpkin Attack on Mommy and Daddy” almost brings the proceedings out of the proverbial ooze with better beats and fetching (yet still kooky) melodies, but that newfound momentum is soon squandered as the record plays on.

BUY IT?: Not this time.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. “How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging.

You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I invite you to explore the frontiers of what’s possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica, or giving a speech to a crowded auditorium on a subject you will someday be an expert in. The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your homework is to generate at least five of these visions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances,” wrote mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for “the pain of growth or the pain of decay,” he continued. We must either “embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency.” That’s a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment.

However, there are t i m e s wh e n i t makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe

now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30 percent of your oppressive circumstances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians can benefit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs you to always ask for more help and guidance from the primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. So if you don’t have such a fertility symbol, I invite you to get one. If you do, enhance it with a new accessory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul’s code with ever-more ingenuity and completeness. It’s less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you. I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial to perform specific work in behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal well-being in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We are whiplashed between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves,” wrote educator Parker Palmer. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in prime position to escape from the whip-

lash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that’s free of both vain misapprehensions and self-deprecating delusions. Congrats! You’re empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The country of Poland awards medals to couples that have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served for at least thirty years.

But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I’d love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task— whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest, or a promise to yourself. It’s time to reward yourself for how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve given.

trust you won’t make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they’re not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want what we all want,” wrote novelist Jonathan Lethem. “To move certain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior world, to see if they can be embraced.”

Even if you haven’t passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon. That’s a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Using algorithms to analyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that April 11, 1954, was the most boring day in history. A Turkish man who would later become SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet a noteworthy engineer was born that day, and Sylvia Plath wrote, “I Belgium staged a nationadmit I desire, / Occaal election. But that’s all. sionally, some backtalk / With this non-eventful From the mute sky.” day as your inspiration, I You’ll be wise to borrow encourage you to have the spirit of that misfun reminiscing about chievous declaration. the most boring times in your own past.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON

Edgy clothes in the workplace could signal higher status upon sight Rags against the machine I’m a slim woman in my early 40s — successful in my field — and I am always in jeans, a vintage ripped T-shirt and boots. I mean, ALWAYS. Granted, I have an extremely expensive handbag and perfectly highlighted blonde hair, and I always wear winged eyeliner. My friends say that going “underdressed” like this is disrespectful and inappropriate for (corporate-type) business meetings. Are they right, or is rocking your own thing no matter what a sign of confidence? (P.S. I’d kill myself before I’d wear a blazer.)

—Punk Rock Corporate There’s actually something to be said for a person who goes into an important business meeting dressed like one of their LinkedIn endorsements is “Aggressive Panhandling.”

Sure, to a lot of people, it looks like career suicide in progress. However, research

by H a r va rd B u s i n e s s School’s Francesca Gino suggests that rebelling against norms for business attire can make you come off as higher status than people who dress all junior CEO. Gino ran a number of experiments that led her to this conclusion, but my favorite is from a seminar on negotiations she taught at Harvard to two different groups of bigwigs in business, government and philanthropy.

For each session, she dressed in the requisite “business boring” — a dark blue Hugo Boss suit and a white silk blouse. But then, for her second session, she paired this outfit with a pair of red Con-

verse high-tops. As she made her way to the classroom, a few fellow professors did give her the stink-eye. However, seminar participants surveyed after each session guessed that she was higher in status and had a pricier consulting rate when she was wearing the red sneaks.

Gino explains that a person who is seen to be deliberately violating workplace wardrobe norms sends a message that they are so powerful that they can shrug off the potential costs of not following convention.

Anthropologists and zoologists call this a costly signal: a trait or behavior that’s so wastefully extravagant and/ or survival-threatening that only the highest-quality, most mojo-rific people or critters could afford to display it.

This, in turn, suggests to observers (whether predators or predatory executives) that it’s more likely to be legit — and not false advertising.

So, it seems your dressing all hobo honcho could actually ramp up your status in others’ eyes. And let’s say someone suspects you’re dressing this way because you’ve lost it on some level — psychologically or financially. Gino writes in her book “Rebel Talent” that to signal status, it’s critical that people believe an individual is “consciously choosing not to conform” and willing to assume the possible costs of that.

Well, with that pricey handbag (plus the megabucks highlights and Instagram influencer winged eyeliner), you swat away any suspicions that your poorgeoisiewear reflects actual impoverishment. Just don’t be surprised if, post-meeting, as you’re making a call on a

bench outside the building, two kindly old ladies drop a Ziploc in your lap with socks, a granola bar, and directions to the nearest shelters.

Eye will always love you I’ve long been a “Shallow Hal,” attracted to women’s youth and physical beauty and less concerned with integrity. Not surprisingly, I keep getting into relationships with women who aren’t very good people. How can I stop being so superficial?

—Man With Eyes It isn’t wrong to initially be looks-driven: “Now, she’s a woman I wanna have sex with!” — as opposed to “Now, she’s a woman I wanna debate on Jeremy Bentham’s views on utilitarianism!”

Also, you should no more feel guilty for being drawn to young women than you would for having your taste buds be more “All aboard, baby!” for chocolate cake than for a “burger” made out of broccolini. This preference evolved to solve the “How do I pass on my genes?” problem for our male ancestors. (And no, the answer to that would not have been “Date grannies!”)

However, it helps to understand what psychologist Daniel Kahneman has explained as our two thinking systems — fast and slow. Our fast system is emotion-driven, rising up automatically, and is often h o m e t o t o d d l e r- l i ke demands: “Gimme cake!”

Our slow system, the home of rational thought, needs to be forced to do its job — examining our impulses and assessing whether it’s wise for us to run with them.
