Roots & Rhythm

AssAssins

Honesdale’s annual free music and arts festival returns to the Wayne County borough for an 11th year this weekend. The Roots & Rhythm Festival will take over the downtown with live music and events running at several locations Saturday, June 18, from 10:30 a.m. to midnight.

Singer-songwriter Amy Helm (pictured) headlines this year’s festival and will perform on the main stage at 7:45 p.m. The daughter of late musical icon Levon Helm, she has performed with alt country collective Ollabelle and released her first solo album, Didn’t It Rain, in 2015. Additionally, bands will perform along Main Street from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., while music at the main stage kicks off at 1:35 p.m. A “late night ramble” with 2/3 Goat will run from 10 p.m. to midnight at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St. Doors open at 9 p.m. In addition to the live music, the festival will have an arts tent open from noon to 5 p.m. in the courtyard of Central United Methodist Church, Church and 11th streets, that will feature Standingbear Native American Tales, folk artist/singer Dave Matsinko and hands-on historic demonstrations. Children’s activities will take place along Main Street from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and food vendors, Artists’ Row and the Honesdale Rotary Beer & Wine Garden will be open all day.

The stories of the infamous men and women who tried — and even succeeded — to kill the president of the United States come alive in the musical Assassins, which the Pennsylvania Theatre of the Performing Arts will present Fridays through Sundays, June 17 to 26, at the J.J. Ferrara Center, 212 W. Broad St., Hazleton. Shows begin at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $10, $14 and $16 for the show only or $20, $28 and $32 for dinner and the show.

With music and lyrics by the legendary Stephen Sondheim, Assassins focuses on the nine people — from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald to Lynette “Squeaky’’ Fromme — who struck out against the nation’s leaders. The one-act musical gives them a space to interact and even influence one another with a dark humor. Its 2004 Broadway production won six Tony awards, including best revival of a musical.

A dinner buffet will begin 90 minutes before each show, and reservations are required. Seating for general admission starts one hour before curtain.

hello, Dolly!

Northeast Pennsylvania will say hello to Dolly Parton as the country music legend performs at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Wednesday, June 22. The concert begins at 8 p.m., and tickets are $52, $72, $92 and $192.

The tour, her first major U.S. and Canadian one in more than 25 years, will take Parton to more than 60 cities. At Wednesday’s show, Parton plans to deliver numbers from her new, two-disc album, Pure & Simple with Dolly’s Biggest Hits, which includes new material as well as many of her most popular, beloved songs.

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Parton shot to superstardom in the 1960s thanks not only to her singing abilities but also her songwriting ones, crafting such hits as “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” On the Billboard country charts, 25 of her songs have reached No. 1, and she has won seven Grammys and the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award. She’s also made a mark on screen as well, performing in such films as Steel Magnolias and 9 to 5, for which she sang the title song.

SOUNDS

/MUSIC

A Nice Pair

THE HEAVY — The Hurt & the Merciless THE GOOD: British soul/rock hybrid the Heavy returns with their fourth.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The “How You Like Me Now” boys go for the jugular, churning out a set recorded live in a small studio near their hometown of Bath, England. Samples seem non-existent this time and overdubs are kept to a minimum. The band makes the arrangements lean and mean, with its basic line-up augmented by killer brass, tasteful strings during the more delicate bits

and some soulful female backup singers.

Most of the time, the band just cranks with no frills. Cuts like searing lead single “Since You Been Gone” and the sassy “Mean Ol’ Man” prove heavy soul is far from dead. The vibe is genuine and the grooves tight.

Frontman Kelvin Swaby does his usual wailing while the drums crash and the guitars rip. And by the time gospel-tinged closer “Goodbye Baby” calms the waters, we’ve worked up one hell of a sweat.

BUY IT?: Surely.

ISLANDS — Should I Remain Here at Sea ISLANDS — Taste THE GOOD: In the age of Soundcloud and the download, Canadian indie rockers Islands do something gutsy — release two albums at once.

backbeats. As the music plays on though, it becomes more “left of center.”

“Innocent Man” displays a flair for the dramatic. “Right to be Misbegotten” is more THE BAD: Usually when any artist does this, delicate, even flirting with we get one awesome album spread out over two twinges of folk. And by the time mediocre ones (remember Use Your Illusion way we reach “Hawaii” and “At Sea,” back in 1991?). Don’t panic. Islands avoid that the set takes on a dreamlike trap. Yet the records get “challenging” in spots. quality with the breezy colliding THE NITTY GRITTY: We shouldn’t be surprised with the slightly spaced-out. All throughout Sea though, Islands at this sudden burst of creativity. Frontman and sound like a rock band— someband mastermind Nicholas Thorburn is always times cooking, sometimes laid in a couple of groups at any given time anyway, not to mention his occasional forays into film. But back, but always guitar-based and intense. Of the two discs, here, he gives us two works with very different this one is closer to what we’ve come to expect personalities. from Thorburn and his crew.

First, Should I Remain Here at Sea is an indie Next, Taste is colored with a coat of shocking pop collection that begins on a bright and tight pink electronics— not exactly a synthpop record, note. Kicking off with the one-two punch of “Back but pretty damn close. Tracks such as “Pumpkin” into It” and “Fear,” the record immediately pulls and “No Milk No Sugar” are slick and seamless you in with big hooks, chunky guitar riffs and solid with soaring melodies riding swirling synthetics

and sturdy rhythms. One detects strong similarities to Cut Copy, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart and even Tanlines. Still, the end result isn’t all that unexpected. We simply hear Islands in a different setting, the band never sounding out of place.

BUY IT (THEM)?: Yes.

OPENING THIS WEEK

Finding Dory Voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks In this PG-rated animated comedy, the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish (DeGeneres) reunites with her loved ones (Brooks, et al), and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way. The Plus: The players. In addition to being Oscar winners and critical favorites (Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and WALL*E are among some of the titles to take home the trophy for best animated feature film), Pixar Animations films are also proven moneymakers. Inside Out made 2015 profitable for this production house ($842 million worldwide). Continuing the story begun in the 2003 fan favorite Nemo should continue Pixar’s success rate with sequels (Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Cars 2 and Monsters University were all hits). Dory boasts DeGeneres (The Ellen DeGeneres Show), Brooks (Concussion), Idris Elba (The Jungle Book), Kate McKinnon (NBC’s Saturday Night Live), Bill Hader (Inside Out), Dominic West (Money Monster), Michael Sheen (Kill the Messenger), Diane Keaton (Love the Coopers), Kaitlin Olson (FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Ed O’Neil (ABC’s Modern Family) and, of course, John Ratzenberger (NBC’s Cheers), who has had a voice in EVERY Pixar movie thus far. The Minus: The fallout. Many publications, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter included, cited the fact that Pixar’s last release, The Good Dinosaur, was the studio’s lowest-grossing feature ever. Is this a sign that audiences are tiring of their … wait, is everybody leaving to line up at the box office already?

Central Intelligence Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart In this PG-13-rated comedy, a mild-mannered accountant (Hart) is lured into the world of international espionage after he reunites with an old pal (Johnson) through Facebook. The Plus: The players.

Talk about star power. Time (Think Like a Man) and time (Let Me Explain) and time (Ride Along) and time (Get Hard) and time again (Ride Along 2), Kevin Hart brought the funny and the bacon to the box office.

Here, he teams with bona-fide movie star Dwayne Johnson, himself no slouch when it comes to box office (Furious 7, San Andreas). Amy Ryan (Bridge of Spies) and Aaron Paul (Triple 9) round out the cast.

The Minus: The competition. Sure, Finding Dory is going to rule the weekend, but Central Intelligence doesn’t exactly have the same target demographic as a family film anyway. Regardless, for all of his hits (The Game Plan, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Johnson has far more misses (Faster, Snitch, Hercules).

/ENTERTAINMENT

Warcraft Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton HH — The Bauble of the Five Armies Despite the vaunted talent behind it, Warcraft’s slick-looking bid to spin an epic video game into a standalone Tolkien-esque extravaganza ultimately proves to be as exciting as watching a feature-length round of Pong. In this PG-13-rated fantasy, the peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. Oh, it’s visually stunning but intellectually and emotionally....well, let’s just say that Warcraft is a Xerox of a Xerox of much superior fantasy works, which makes the overall picture much less vibrant at this oft-copied stage. Like J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series and The Hobbit, there are orcs, dueling wizards and inter-species boot-knocking. Like George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire & Ice series, there are seven kingdoms, homogenized inhabitants and combustible geopolitics at play. The amalgamation of all of this, however, amounts to something much blander and derivative. It doesn’t hit the laughable lows of, say, Eragon, but it feels far from original and vital. Unlike the unique and relatable roster of characters in HBO’s Game of Thrones, who run the gamut from striking beauties to pugnacious dwarves, all of the characters here are good-looking and uninterestingly straight-forward, despite the best intentions of the cast. Travis Fimmel plays a roguish Aragorn (of LOTR fame) knock-off to the hilt, but the clichés assigned to this lover-solider come from pure fantasy stock, not ingenuity.

Sadly, so much more was expected of this production’s controlling hand. Director-co-writer Duncan Jones gave audiences the beautifully acted and directed mind-bending sci-if thrillers Moon and Source Code, leading many to believe that he was the Chosen One sent to end the unbroken curse of all video games turned into horrible films. Instead, he gives moviegoers something they’ve seen before. Honestly, he would have been better served by turning out a popcorn flick at either one of two extremes — excellence or F-grade. Instead, Warcraft frustratingly falls somewhere in-between, albeit flirting more with the lower end of the spectrum. He gains points for trying to make the Orcs (unapologetically unremorseful Big Bads in the game) complicated and sympathetic but loses that much more in terms of original, dynamic storytelling. With lackluster lines like “Orc children have pets more fearsome than you,” he’s not exactly charting a brave new world of Warcraft, or any other. Sure, the CGI-rendered battles look ridiculously amazing and detailed, but can’t compare with becoming immersed in the game as a player unless you’re given a whole new and exciting playing field which its filmic iteration definitely does not.

NOW PLAYING

The Conjuring 2 Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson HHH1/2 — Bellow from the Other Side Conjuring up a night terror in broad daylight, this second blend of old school scare-making and new age trickery carves a notch below its predecessor but also boasts a somewhat true story that keeps moviegoers gripping their seats. In this R-rated horror flick, Lorraine (Farmiga) and Ed Warren (Wilson) travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits. As The Exorcist still makes perfectly clear, when a horror film is based on “real events,” it draws you in all the more, which gives the frights that much more punch because you feel like you’re in the fight. It makes you vulnerable and preys of your sympathies to an almost heart-stopping degree. Granted, The Conjuring 2 sports too many extreme, otherworldly moments to fully vest the audience in this Ghostbusters tale, but it’s still a bloody good ghost story overall. Smartly beginning with The famous Amityville haunting case, which shot to fame the real-life paranormal investigators at the center of this flick, the sequel to the A-grade Conjuring soon puts us all on a collision course with the Endfield Poltergeist, one of the most notorious ghost investigations of all time. James Wan, back for part two after devising fresh frights with classic sensibilities in The Conjuring, embraces the usual rules for sequel-dom, ratcheting up the intensity and stakes in an effort to not feel derivative. This works for better and worse, however. All involved get double the crackling new stories (Amityville! Endfield!) and studio-era shot-pulling (pan-ins, longer takes) that sometimes grounds this follow-up as a welcome throw-back thriller in the spirit of part one. At times, it also imbues many new-school tricks (jump cuts, eardrum-bursting sound design) and an alarming amount of unearthly moments (Lorraine walks into the light more than Carol Ann from Poltergeist, it seems) that sometimes puts it in a class with modern series such as Paranormal Activity, Sinister and Insidious. This is not bad company overall — just a step down from the four-star heights of The Conjuring. Less tethered to reality, The Conjuring 2 fumbles its “true story” through-line, as laughable as this tangibility is. Regardless, the spine tingles and the blood curdles to a very entertaining degree, which is more than The Exorcist II: The Heretic and/or Poltergeist II: The Other Side can say.

SMALL SCREENS

Preacher (2016) Dominic Cooper, Joseph Gilgun HHHH — No Country for Old Clergymen In AMC’s fantasy series strictly intended for mature audiences, a preacher with a checkered past (Cooper) enlists the help of a vampire (Gilgun) and his gun-toting ex (Ruth Negga) to find God after a supernatural gives him unspeakable powers. If you’re a well-rounded student of popular culture, immersing yourself in Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s blistering and addictive comic book series concerning a badman of the cloth brings to mind “The Time of the Preacher” from Willie Nelson’s classic album Red-Headed Stranger. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg know this connection well and use this track effectively in their impossible feat of a pilot. Seemingly unadaptable, The Preacher reads as a bizarre, funny and violent cross-section of something fearful yet fearsome, God-fearing yet Goddamning. The titular character is a very flawed but (suddenly) powerful individual on a spiritual and physical quest to find the Almighty, who has seemingly left their post. Yet, Rogen and Goldberg, themselves both part of pop culture (This Is the End, The Interview) and advanced students of it as well, embrace Ennis and Dillon’s blood, belly laughs and ballsiness while framing the intoxicating madness with a stunning cinematic verve that makes it fiercely compelling and watchable. Consider it a Spaghetti AntiWestern … just please consider it.

The everharT MuseuM’s 10th annual

Summer Solstice The Everhart Museum will celebrate not only 10 years of summertime fun but also two key community members who have helped it succeed.

The museum’s 10th annual Summer Solstice party will take place Saturday, June 18, under a tent filled with food, flowers and fun on the front lawn of the museum at 1901 Mulberry St. in Scranton. Tickets are $125 for general admission and $150 for patrons, with the proceeds benefitting the museum in numerous ways.

“It does so much I can’t even explain it,” said Debbie Pann, the museum’s director of resources.

“It is our largest fundraiser. It helps to pay for the programming that we do for both children and adults. It helps to pay for the exhibits that we do throughout the year, and of course it helps to

maintain the museum building itself.”

Featuring food by Constantino’s Catering & Events, the party begins at 5:30 p.m. with an open bar and passed hors d’oeuvres that will include buffalo chicken kebobs, coconut shrimp, baconwrapped scallops and more.

Then, at 7 p.m., the buffet dinner begins.

Options will include bruschetta chicken, carved beef, penne pasta and salmon as well as several vegetables. Vegan options also are available as a special option but not as part of the regular menu, said Stefanie Colarusso, the museum’s director of interpretive programs. Truly Scrumptious will provide desserts.

During the dinner, the museum also will honor longstanding supporters Eleanore and George

Ginader. Eleanore Ginader formerly served as president of the museum’s board and helped start the Summer Solstice.

“We’re honoring them to thank them for their longtime and continued support of all of our programs and exhibitions,” Pann said.

Colarusso said this year’s party also will feature an after-party lounge, which begins at 9. The Jim Buckley Trio will provide music early in the night, and DJ Jamie Granko will take over later on.

Every edition of the party has featured live and silent auctions, and this year’s silent one will actually begin the day before the festivities. On Friday, June 17, people can start bidding on items from home through 501auctions.com. About 100 items will be up for bid, including many from local

businesses, Colarusso said. At the party, the silent auction will continue starting at 5:30 p.m.

The live auction, meanwhile, will begin at 7 p.m. and features items ranging from trips to beaches and spots around the United States to tickets to the smash Broadway show Hamilton, which won 11 Tony awards, including best musical, at last weekend’s Tony Awards.

“It’s really a pretty eclectic mix,” Colarusso said of the items.

She said organizers went with a “glam theme” for this year’s party, which as usual takes place with the museum and Nay Aug Park in the background. The decor will include gold and silver flourishes “with mixtures of pink raspberries and hints of blue” along with greenery and lots of wheat grass, Colarusso said.

“It’s glam in the grass,” she said.

The museum tries to present the Summer Solstice “as an upscale garden party,” Pann said, and everyone loves the surroundings.

“I think (the parties have) continued to grow every year,” she said. “Over the years I think it’s kind of gotten to be known as a great event. It’s a summer evening under a tent in a beautiful park.

There’s always beautiful flowers.”

Anyone not attending the party will miss out “on not only a wonderful evening of entertainment (and) decor to enjoy, the park to enjoy, the tent to enjoy (and) the food to enjoy but also the opportunity to help the Everhart Museum, which is a jewel in Scranton,” Pann said. “And there really isn’t anything like it for miles and miles around.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights.

Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion . . . to relax the tweaks . . . to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?”

In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable.

The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian.

Have open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets!

I’m confident you will track them down — especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. 1. What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks?

2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hope- you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? 4. What new privilege will ful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens. Here we go: 1. You will have an you have earned by April 2017? excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however.

Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch.

I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts. The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life.

Be ever-alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior.

That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest

yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself?

What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout? How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The prison population in the U.S. is over 2 million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000 and France 66,000. That’s the bad news.

The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations.

Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension. I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.

Meet Steven Serge …

How long have you been working as a professional photographer?

I’ve been shooting pro for a living for more than two years now, but I’ve been involved in photography for the past two decades, especially with the car business. That’s what led me to photography. While photographing the cars and taking the marketing of the cars very seriously, I didn’t realize that I was also training myself with the basics of good composition and the basics of photography. When my wife and I started having kids and I started pointing the camera at them, I started to realize that I had a knack for shooting humans as well as inanimate objects. (Laughs.)

Let’s talk about the cars. Your auto business specializes in selling classic cars, and many of them are first seen online by prospective buyers, correct?

That was my primary focus for the past two decades, but like any business, you diversify. I do sell normal, everyday cars, but the backbone of my business has always been collector/special interest/sports cars. “Toys,” if you will. And my theory on selling them online is that people aren’t actually buying the car, they’re buying the images of the car. And that’s what led to the success of that business for the last two decades.

At the height of the market, we went up to $2 million dollars in annual sales, in 18 different countries. I never visited any of those countries, but that’s where a lot of the cars went.

Now that you’ve shifted into more general photography, how would you describe most of your work?

Right now I’ve been focusing on wedding

What are some of your favorite things to photograph?

I enjoy kids, and that comes from photographing my own kids — especially doing it very candidly and very real-life. But it varies, whether it’s a great shot of a bride and groom doing something, or a random inanimate object. It’s not, “What’s my favorite photograph?” It’s more about, “What’s the next photograph going to be?” It’s the hunt.

Favorite city?

My wife and I love New York. We’ve taken the kids there several times.

/CULTURE

work, just because it seems to be clicking for me. I also do a lot of private family work and other commercial work. I’ve been shooting for Camelback Resorts on their commercial campaign and their rebranding.

Favorite vacation spot?

We go just south of Myrtle Beach. And we like to do a lot of random stuff. A lot of times we’ll just pick up and go on a little excursion.

Favorite thing about NEPA? There are many things.

The people are definitely at the forefront. The quality of life.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? The cost of living. Schooling.

Low crime. You could argue There’s an adage that if you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And that we’re not at the level of New York and Philadelphia, as between the car business and the photography, that definitely applies to myself. So I don’t really far as culture and entertainment. And as much as I used feel the need to decompress or take two weeks to complain about that when I off. I’ve been a workaholic for pretty much my was younger, now that I have entire life and self-employed for pretty much a family, I realize that we also my entire life, so when it comes to relaxing, it’s have greater advantages than pretty much just hanging out with my wife and those places do. the kids. A couple of trips here and there. We like to go on fun vacations. We’re not jetsetters, Favorite food? but once in a while we’ll go to New York or the Everything. Burgers, sushi, beach.

Steven pizza … I love all foods.

With all of the cool and classic automobiles All-time favorite movie? that you’ve sold over the past 20 years, do you I’ve always been fascinated with Blade have one yourself?

The first car that I bought to keep for myself, Runner, just because of the time that it was I just bought last year. It’s a ’72 Jeep Wagoneer, made and the visuals. It’s just amazing. It’s a and I actually bought it for the photography busi- cinematic piece of artwork. Even if you’re not ness. And I love it for two reasons: not only can into the sci-fi genre, you watch that movie and I utilize it, but out of all of the fancy cars that I’ve you see the lighting and the textures and the colors … to me, it looks 50 times better than all bought and sold — and some were upwards of of this CGI stuff that goes on today. You can just six figures — this is by far probably the cheapstare at it for hours. est car I’ve ever owned. It’s all original, and it’s worn out, but it runs great.

Favorite TV show?

I like some of the edgier series — BreakDo you remember your first car? ing Bad and Mr. Robot. I like that dark drama.

It doesn’t have to be positive or antitheses of cool. In fact, maybe psychologically, the career that I chose was because of my negative, as long as it’s entertaining. first car. (Laughs.)

Favorite quote or catchphrase?

Having worked for myself for so long, and Favorite music? with the ups and down of businesses these I’m kind of open on music, but I’ve always days, I have one that I came up with myself. had a thing for house music — Depeche Mode and New Order and that kind of stuff. I think that And it especially applies now, with having a family: “Self-employment is easy. It’s making a comes from growing up in the ‘80s.

Serge living that’s the hard part.” And that applies to anyone. A lot of people these days want to be self-employed, and it’s insanely easy to wake up one day and say, “OK. I’m self-employed.” But making a living is the key.

Biggest pet peeve?

Negativity. People that are always just down and out and can’t see a solution. We’ve all been there and have had bad days, but I don’t like constant negativity and abrasiveness and not seeing the glass as half full.

Is there anything about you that might surprise even your friends?

I’m pretty much an open book, but I definitely have a level of sarcasm in my personality. And my favorite subject to make fun of is myself.

Is there anyone, or anything, that has helped shape you into the person you are today?

My family. My dad’s been self-employed forever. He’s had Serge’s Barbershop over on

the west side (of Scranton). He started it from the ground level, and it’s a prosperous business.

He’s also the one that turned me on to the cars.

Cars were always more of a hobby for him, but as the muscle-car market was starting to come up in value, he recognized that if you buy a Corvette, sell it, and make a grand or two, it’s a lot better than a $10 haircut to put toward your kids’ college. And that’s kind of what brought me into the cars. My dad, my uncle and my grandfather were all self-employed, and I guess that kind of carried through me. I didn’t set out to be self-employed to impress them. I guess it’s just in our genes.

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane Hey, do you all remember warheads? I’m talking about that hard candy you’d find at the corner stores. I want to say it was like a nickel apiece, but that might just be some sort of weird nostalgia talking. While there were different flavors, in my mind there were truly only two main kinds: Hot and sour. Each one was an exercise in self abuse.

It might be unfair that I speak of them in past tense, as they do still exist, but my time with them is over. It may be because I’m not hanging out with a bunch of grade-schoolers whose main criteria of cool is how many of these candies one can put in their mouth. Not that my current group of peers is that far off, but we do tend to avoid the burning scars of whatever citric type acid was pumped into those sugar bombs.

What does this have to do with beer? Cuvee Des Jacobins Rouge, obviously.

What is Cuvee Des Jacobins Rouge? It’s a Flanders red ale. This isn’t to be confused with an American red ale. It’s not the sweet and roasted malt that gently goes down. No, it’s more of a warhead.

That wording might be a little strong. Flanders red ales are in large part known for their tartness.

It’s like a lambic, but with more sour. They use special yeast strains and age the brew in oak casks. All of this creates a complex brew that will leave its mark.

Cuvee Des Jacobins Rouge comes straight out of Belgium. It pours a beautiful ruby red with a small, white head. Copious little bubbles continue to rise

throughout the liquid. It really was a striking pour with an incredibly vibrant color that stopped short of looking artificial. It looked delicious.

There were a lot of fun things going on in the nose. There was certainly sour. There were also cherries, a bit of funk and vinegar.

While I could catch some of the yeast, I didn’t smell any of the oak. I was looking forward to it, but there were so many other inviting scents that it didn’t seem needed.

At first, the taste was all sour.

Like those candies of my youth, my tongue was awash in tartness.

As with many strong beers, the tongue eventually acclimated, and the more subdued flavors came out. The cherries in the nose were certainly there, providing a nice fruitiness that paired well with the sour. There was a bit of lemon and sweetness. It could also be compared to cranberries and balsamic vinegar. The flavor nuances were rather varied and subtle. After it had warmed up a good bit, I could even catch just the slightest amount of wood on the tail end of the swallow.

While it was not terribly thick or strong, I don’t know that I’d want to make this a session beer. The acidity of it limits the quantity that I’d want to drink. That said, it was delicious. It’s a bit different than my standard, heavily hopped or dark malt fair, but it was a nice change up because of this. It certainly woke up the taste buds and stimulated the appetite. If you like sour beers, I’d give it a go. It’s everything you like about warheads without the third-degree tongue burns. It’ll certainly fill that sour need.

It’s been ages with the hard truth: Having love is no guarantee that you since I’ve seriously dated anyone. People tell me that I a while — perhaps spending some time lying on the bathroom floor in an evening dress and breakfasting on won’t “die alone” — choking on a chicken bone just seem “closed off.” I don’t want to be, but I worry that as your beloved’s gone out the door all, “Wow, double I’ll get into another relationship that ends badly. I don’t Froot Loops a la vodka. coupon day at the Quik Sak! Be right back, loverbunny!”

However, what’s also normal is recovering from want to die alone, but I just don’t think I can survive heartbreak. Grief researcher George Bonanno explains WoW or never another heartbreak. that while therapists and self-help books portray grief — Terrified There are two women who arouse mega-chemistry after a loss as a paralyzing sadness that people are in me when we hug, talk, etc. Unfortunately, neither is My dad loves quoting that FDR line, “The only thing unable to survive without professional help, this isn’t available.

In fact, he says we you have to fear is fear itself.” Sorry, Pops, but that’s I’m dating (meaning she’s the right height, weight, hair are wired to be resilient — to pull ourselves out of our ridiculous. There are things to fear in life. A couple of color, etc.), I don’t feel those highs with her. So, my examples that spring to mind: 1.

Being in immediate need of lifesaving surgery ness.” Research by clinical psychologist Salvatore —Missing The Whole Enchilada and waking up to your drunken neighbor operating on Maddi finds that hardiness involves three interrelated attitudes: a desire to engage with people and life (rather you with salad utensils and a steak knife.

drawn to the smell of certain people — those who have immune system genes different from ours, with whom we’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against icky parasites and disease. Men, in particular, evolved to be hot for features that reflect high fertility, like a small waist, big eyes and big pillowy lips. The right smell and physical features flick the “on” switch in what affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp calls your “seeking system,” sending you signals (in the form of “tingly zest”) — much like a sign spinner holding up a big arrow, “Your penis here!”

No, obviously, you can’t have it all, but you have to have enough of it all — enough of the hots for a woman, along with the hots for who she is as a human being. This isn’t to say there won’t be issues in bed, but you’re more likely to solve them if the licensed professional best suited to help you is not the corner taxidermist.
