The Wonder of Words

#4

Clear your mind

The Writer’s Showcase at the Old Brick Theater, 126 W. Market St., Scranton, hosted by Brian Fanelli, takes place on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Featured readers include Ali Pica, Maggie Gilbertson, Joan Hanna and Tom Blomain.

Ali Pica is a local writer who is currently working on a short fiction series. She is an adjunct professor at Keystone College.

Maggie Gilbertson writes and performs poetry. The junior at Dallas High School has competed at the Brave New Voices competition and local slams.

Joan Hanna has published poetry, creative nonfiction, book reviews and essays in various online and print journals. She teaches creative writing at Rowan University, is an assistant editor for River Teeth and an assistant editor, nonfiction/poetry for r.kv.r.y.

Poet and songwriter Tom Blomain (pictured) is the author of Gray Area and Blues from Paradise.

Authors will have books available for sale. Admission is $4. For more information, visit The Writer’s Showcase facebook page.— cl

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures around the world. The Wonderstone Gallery, 100 N. Blakely St., Dunmore, welcomes you to experience a partially guided introspective meditation close to home every Monday at 8 p.m.

Chairs, blankets and bolsters are available, but attendees are asked to bring their own blanket, zafu or pillow to increase comfort. Arrive before the Wonderstone closes at 8 p.m. Meditation lasts for approximately one-half hour, followed by sharing, questions and comments. Whether you have little to no experience, or have conquered the quieting of the mind, all levels are welcome.

There is no incorporated religion at the Wonderstone, and all faiths and spiritual paths are embraced.

Meditation is gaining recognition as an activity that may help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

Suggested donation of $5 but no one is turned away. The proceeds are given to charitable organizations in the Dunmore/Scranton area. For more information, visit thewonderstonegallery.com — cl.

the members of rock band Static in the Attic have been playing together since their days at carbondale Area high School.

Static in the Attic started out as a group of teenage friends simply having a good time.

Five years in, the fun continues, but the Carbondale rock band’s chops and ambitions have evolved significantly.

“The last two or three years, we’ve really honed our skills,” said second guitarist and backing vocalist Tom Murray. “Our voices, our harmonies. You need all those to be a real quality band. We have that down and then some.”

The band can be found performing most weekends on the local music circuit. Made up of Murray, Jesse Mower (first guitar, lead vocals), Jules Borosky (drums, backing vocals) and John Scirone (bass, backing vocals), Static in the Attic plays mostly original songs, with some covers thrown in here and there.

Murray said it’s tough to pin down the band’s style. When pressed, he describes it as an amalgam of rock, funk and blues.

The band takes its influences from a number of eclectic sources, among them Jimi Hendrix, Guns N’ Roses, Green Day, Albert King, Joe Bonamassa, Muddy Waters and Earth Wind & Fire.

“Not any two songs sound the same,” said Murray, 21. “We try to keep everything different and fresh.”

Teen dreams Static in the Attic first came together in 2010, when all of the members were students at Carbondale Area High School.

The band continued as the guys enrolled in area colleges. Over time, their playing has gotten tighter, and they’ve improved upon their songwriting craft.

They’ve released two EPs, and are now in the process of recording what will eventually amount to more than a dozen new tracks. Those songs will likely be released as singles before comprising a full-length album, Murray said.

“Currently we have eight songs ready to record, and another six that are being worked out and can soon be played live,” said Murray, a Keystone College student. “I like to call recording an artform.

You’re layering parts on top of each other, and seeing what happens. And it usually comes out pretty great. And it’s always very tasteful. We always know when to say, ‘That’s too much.’”

Everyone in the band contributes to the process. Often, Murray and Mower lay the song out, then Borosky and Scirone contribute their parts to the arrangement.

“We all work it out together,” Murray said.

“All of our styles mesh extremely well when it comes to writing.”

“That’s where we take the most pride in our sound,” he said. “There’s a lot of magic to it.”

BEACH HOUSE — Depression Cherry THE GOOD: Baltimore-based indie duo Beach House comes back with a subdued fifth.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Both Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally rarely appreciate being categorized as “dream pop,” but that’s the genre that comes to mind upon hearing any Beach House record.

Since the pair has pulled back somewhat on their use of live drums throughout Cherry, that dreamy ethereal description now applies even more.

Tracks like the slowly building opener “Levitation” and the instantly fetching “Space Song” seem to be the perfect combination of early Mercury Rev, ’90s era Cocteau Twins and the mellower moments scattered throughout Stereolab’s catalog. Just like its name suggests, Beach House is all about a quiet and enticing form of escapism — a lovely retreat we can’t help but want to visit time and time again.

However, Cherry isn’t just about a placid mood. Peel back the atmospherics and you’ll find many great songs at the core of this set.

BUY IT?: Definitely.

GARDENS AND VILLA — Music for Dogs THE GOOD: California-based indie pop band Gardens and Villa gives us its third.

THE BAD: Sequencing. Dogs is definitely “front-loaded.” All the sonically interesting and memorable stuff happens during the first half.

THE NITTY GRITTY: There are still some highly worthwhile tracks. The guys continue to crank out guitar/synth combinations that recall Roxy Music and solo Pete Shelley on the classic end, and perhaps Rogue Wave and Broken Bells on the more modern side. Dance rhythms and swatches of funk are ever-present but never overshadow the rockier elements. Songs like “Fixations” and “Everybody” are dominated by their melodies,

the backbeats tightly clicking away under swirling keyboards and chugging guitars. “Maximize Results” is retro jittery new wave that could have been plucked from an old album by M. But the record loses steam. More delicate moments such as “Happy Times” meander. Punchier bits like “Jubilee” begin to feel like retreads of previous cuts.

BUY IT?: Your choice. Great album? No. Great bits? Yes.

LANA DEL REY — Honeymoon THE GOOD: American singer/songwriter Lana Del Rey returns with her fourth and most focused.

THE BAD: Not “bad,” but be aware. Her smoky vocals remain entrancing and the woman’s songwriting abilities still shine brightly. Mood-wise though, Honeymoon is a complete DOWNER. THE NITTY GRITTY: Slow and dreamy, subdued and sad, the album rarely reaches a tempo beyond a crawl. Even the beat-heavy “High by the Beach” never rises above a dull roar. However, it’s in these sedative settings that Del Rey flourishes.

The album’s cover appropriately depicts the singer atop a tacky convertible Hollywood tour bus. The songs depict a California that’s not all sunshine and good vibrations. If the film noir aesthetic of the 1940s could be transferred to any record, Honeymoon would be it (despite the more modern subject matter of many of these slow burning and seedy epics). The music is very alluring despite its bleak tone and shadowy settings. The more times you play these songs, the more seductive they become.

BUY IT?: Definitely.

You can’t return 2015 on Boxing Day. Consider the tag cut and the receipt lost. You can, however, play Yankee Christmas with the last films to open during 2015. Trade them. Swap them. Treasure them. Trash them. With seemingly one wrapped and stashed under the tree for everybody, there’s certainly enough potential fruitcakes or grand roasts to go around (films must be in limited released by Dec. 31 to qualify for an Academy Award nomination). Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18) notwithstanding (we’ll be covering this hotly anticipated continuation of the sci-fi series exclusively in a future issue), here’s your gift guide to H’wood’s version of Secret Santa.

The Minus: The odds.

Landis, son of director John (Animal House, Blues Brothers), hasn’t delivered on the promise of his debut screenplay, Chronicle. First, he supplied the screenplay for American Ultra, which involves a young woman dealing with the fact that her stoner boyfriend is really a dangerous government sleeper agent. It tanked. Then, he supplied the screenplay for Mr. Right, which involves a young woman dealing with the fact that her seemingly perfect boyfriend is really a dangerous hitman on the run In this PG-13-rated horror flick, told from Igor’s perspective, we see from the drug cartel that employs him.

by jeff boam work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer. The Plus: The prestige. Helmed by the 2010 Oscar winner for Best Director (Tom Hooper, The Kings Speech), starring last year’s Oscar winner for Best Actor in a Drama (Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything), featuring a white-hot cast of future contenders (Alicia Vikander, Ex Machina; Amber Heard, Magic Mike XXL; Ben Whishaw, Spectre; Matthias Schoenaerts, The Drop) and boasting a timely topic (transgender equality in the age of Caitlyn Jenner) in the form of a real-life period piece besides, The Danish Girl seems like a sure thing come awards season. It won raves at this year’s Venice International Film Festival and picked up some prizes already at the Hollywood Film Awards. The Minus: The competition. Lump this flick in with such other possible contenders as Room, Spotlight, Carol, Joy, The Revenant and Beast of No Nation and you have yourself a not-so-exclusive club.

in The hearT of The sea (12/11)

Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy In this PG-13-rated drama based on the real-life 1820 event that supposedly inspired Moby Dick, a whaling ship gets preyed upon by a sperm whale, stranding its crew (Hemsworth, Murphy, et al) at sea for 90 days, thousands of miles from home.

The Plus: The players. Given that he touts more than a few commercial (Splash, Backdraft, The Da Vinci Code) and critical triumphs (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon), director Ron Howard releasing his latest during awards season makes a lot of sense. Here, he re-teams with his white-hot Rush star Chris Hemsworth (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and boasts a cast that includes Cillian Murphy (Inception), Brendan Gleeson (Edge of Tomorrow), Frank Dillane (AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead), Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), Tom Holland (the forthcoming Spider-Man reboot) and Ben Whishaw (Spectre) as Herman Melville.

T h e 2 0 1 5 h o l i d ay M o v i e P r e v i e w The Minus: The odds. Howard isn’t necessarily a sure thing with audiences (The Paper, EDtv, The Dilemma) or critics (The Missing, Angels & Demons), Hemsworth either (Blackhat). The fact that Warner Bros. moved this film back from March 13 to now doesn’t exactly instill confidence.

sisTers (12/18)

Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson In this R-rated drama set in post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunters try to find shelter during a blizzard but get involved in a plot of betrayal and deception. The Plus: The players.

In emulating the schlocky drive-in double features from the ’70s, indie mavericks Quentin Tarantino (Jackie Brown) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) put together a Grindhouse two-fer to die for … only nobody came.

Sisters Though Tarantino’s entry Death Proof was given some plaudits by critics after a longer cut was released on DVD, the movie’s financial stall was seen as the first chink in this auteur’s armor (both Kill Bill chapters had netted healthy returns for Miramax). With the box office success and awards afforded Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, however (Christolph Waltz won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on both counts), Q found himself back on top. Now comes the Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction auteur’s hotly anticipated followup, his second Spaghetti The Hateful Eight Western throwback.

Here, his A-list cast includes Russell (Furious 7), Jackson (The Kingsmen: Secret Service), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Spectacular Now), Tim Roth (Selma), Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Michael Madsen (Donnie Brasco), Walter Goggins (FX’s Justified) and Demián Bichir (FX’s The Bridge). Oh and it’s

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler In this R-rated comedy, two sisters (Fey, Poehler) decide to throw one last house party before their parents sell their family home. The Plus: The players.

Over its nearly 40-year run, NBC’s Saturday Night Live has launched more than a few movie careers.

When one reads through a listing of the legendary program’s alumni, the roster is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of comedy superstars — John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig. Given the one-two punch of friends/ co-stars Tina Fey (NBC’s 30 Rock) and Amy Poehler (NBC’s Parks & Recreation), they surely rank high as alumnae.

Everytime they get together on the big screen, magic results (Mean Girls, Baby Mama). Here, they have backing from cast members John Cena (Trainwreck), John Leguizamo (American Ultra), James Brolin (CBS’s Life in Pieces), Dianne Wiest (The Odd Life of Timothy Green), Maya Rudolph (Inherent Vice), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors) and Heather Matarazzo (ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy). The Minus: The odds.

filmed in 70 mm. The Minus: The controversy.

After making several public comments about and supporting protests aimed at police brutality, Tarantino received a nationwide law enforcement boycott of his upcoming movie.

Joy (12/25)

Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro In this R-rated story of a family set across four generations, a woman (Lawrence) rises to become founder and matriarch of a powerful family business dynasty. The Plus: The partners. The two times that Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper starred together under the direction of David O. Russell, magic resulted in the form of The Silver Linings Playbook and The American Hustle. Here, his A-list cast list again boasts Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Mockingbird - Part 2), De Niro (The Intern) and Bradley Cooper (Burnt), along with Edgar Ramirez (Deliver us from Evil), Virginia Madsen (AMC’s Hell on Wheels) and Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet). The Minus: The repetition.

Three films, same director, same cast … perhaps, Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter) went to this well one too many times, especially amid a rather crowded holiday box office.

PoinT Break

(12/25) Luke Bracey, Edgar Ramirez In this PG-13-rated remake of the 1991 actioner, a young FBI agent (Bracey) infiltrates an extraordinary team of extreme sports athletes (Ramirez, et al) he suspects of masterminding a string of unprecedented, sophisticated corporate

heists. The Plus: The genre. Here, Ericson Core (Invincible) directs Luke Bracey (The November Man), Edgar Ramirez (Deliver Us from Evil), Teresa Palmer (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice), Ray Winstone (The Gunman) and Delroy Lindo (Jack Reacher) in what just might amount to a rollicking action flick. The Minus: The redundancy.

Though far from perfect, Kathryn Bigelow’s (The Hurt Locker) 1991 forebear starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze was an entertaining piece of pop culture that didn’t need a c second helping, especially s after a a recent slew of shortsighted remakes stemming s Point Break frrom other ’80s and ’90s hits (The Thing, Total Recall, RoboCop, Poltergeist).

Leonardo DiCaprio , Tom Hardy In his R-rated drama set in the 1820s, frontiersman Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) sets out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling.

Here, last year’s Oscar winner for Best Director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman) directs three-time Best Actor Oscar nominee A Leonardo Di Caprio L The Revenant ((The Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Wolf D oof Wall Street) along with a white-hot w ccast consisting of Tom Hardy (Mad Max Fury Road), Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina), Will Poulter (HBO’s Game of Thrones) and Lukas Haas (Transcendence). The Minus: The competition. Not only is there a slew of potential award winners bowing around the same time (The Danish Girl, Joy), but a bunch of star-studded popcorn blockbusters (The Hateful Eight, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) are also opening.

OPENING THIS WEEK

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson In this PG-13-rated final chapter in the sci-fi dystopian series based on the book series by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence), after being symbolized as the “Mockingjay,” and District 13 engage in an all-out revolution against the autocratic Capitol. The Plus: The franchise. Here, Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) directs returning stars like Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle), Hutchinson (Red Dawn), Liam Hemsworth (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Woody Harrelson (Out of the Furnace), Donald Sutherland (Horrible Bosses), Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2), Stanley Tucci (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Philip Seymour Hoffman (A Most Wanted Man), Julianne Moore (Still Alice) and Natalie Dormer (CBS’s Elementary) Jeffrey Wright (HBO’s Boardwalk Empire), Sam Clafin (The Quiet Ones) and Jena Malone (Inherent Vice), as well as new addition Gwendoline Christie (HBO’s Game of Thrones). The Minus: The split. When Lionsgate decided to break the final Hunger Games book Mockingjay into two separate flicks, the studio was hoping for blockbuster success along the lines of the Harry Potter and The Hobbit franchises, which extended their series and reaped both boffo box office and critical accolades. Of the three Hunger Games so far, Mockingjay – Part 1 ranks far below its counterparts on rottentomatoes.com according to critics and audiences. Also, the flick took in less than the last previous chapter, Catching Fire, which banked over $864 million worldwide. Granted, Part 1 already made back the budget for this endeavor (both parts together reportedly cost around $250 million), but will moviegoers cause Mockingjay to go out with a bang or a whimper?

The Night Before Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen In this R-rated comedy, three lifelong best friends (Gordon-Levitt, Rogen, Anthony Mackie) set out to find the Holy Grail of Christmas parties in their native New York City, since their annual tradition of Christmas Eve debauchery might be coming to an end. The Plus: The season. Every holiday season, moviegoers get gifted with early presents from H’Wood in the form of star-studded, dysfunctional family Christmas stories. Even when they’re not good, festive audiences tend to gravitate toward some (Christmas with the Kranks, Deck the Halls, Four Christmases, Fred Claus). Boasting a cast including Gordon-Levitt (The Walk), Rogen (Steve Jobs), Anthony Mackie (The Avengers: Age of Ultron), Lizzy Caplan (Showtime’s Masters of Sex), Jillian Bell (Goosebumps), Ilana Glazer (Comedy Central’s Broad City), Tracy Morgan (NBC’s 30 Rock), James Franco (The Interview) and Miley Cyrus (Bolt), here’s your latest fruit cake. The Minus: The odds. Festive moviegoers tend to pass over some others (Black Nativity, A Merry Friggin’ Christmas, Nothing Like the Holidays, Surviving Christmas). The fact that 50/50 writer-director Jonathan Levine is hosting this holiday party does improve the odds, however.

Love the Coopers Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried HH — Lazy Stupid Love Its leaky Cooperage filled to the brim with fine star performances and a few floaters of good tidings, H’wood’s latest obligatory holiday chestnut to audiences goes a bit dark, but still manages to taste too saccharine sweet to stand out from the rest of the fruitcakes. In this PG-13-rated comedy, four generations of the Cooper clan come together for their annual Christmas Eve celebration, but a series of unexpected visitors and unlikely events turn the night upside down, leading them all toward a surprising rediscovery of family bonds and the spirit of the holiday. Between the overpowering soundtrack, annoying kids and meandering threads detailing the messed-up lives of a particularly boring family, Love the Coopers comes down to a case of Hollywood re-gifting the dysfunctional family homecoming formula in new gift wrap. It’s a bad sign when the title doesn’t even know what it wants to be. Is Love the Coopers a demand? Did they forget to put a comma in after “Love” as if it were a To/From tag on a gift? Statement or query, no one ultimately cares. The characters and their life problems don’t amount to a hill of jelly beans, certainly not enough to love. On the other hand, the dialogue and plot points don’t offer much by way of a gift. Trying to watch Oscar winners like Alan Arkin and Marisa Tomei try to spin gold out of tinselly lines like “As if you can schedule happiness and joy — can’t do it” makes you want a gift receipt.

Audiences have seen this sort of spread before, for better and worse. Every holiday season, moviegoers get gifted with early presents from H’wood in the form of star-studded, dysfunctional family Christmas stories (Christmas with the Kranks, Deck the Halls, Four Christmases, Fred Claus). Franchises excluded (1989s Christmas Vacation), there’s apparently only room for one new modern holiday classic every decade, give or take a few years (A Christmas Story, Home Alone, Love Actually). Love the Coopers fails to make the cut. Even the big reveal (the parents are separating — scandalous!) For every silver bell (Olivia Wilde and Jake Lacy frolicking in an airport), there’s three burned-out bulbs to contend with (Ed Helms enduring a sadsack job search, Amanda Seyfried wanting to leave her ho hum small town, Marisa Tomei shoplifting an ugly broach).

Spectre Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz HHH1/2 — Never Say Never Ahem A white-knuckle actioner that lets the Spectre of its past haunt audiences just a bit too much, the latest in the 007 series finally and entertainingly gives Daniel Craig his most Bond-esque adventure to date but sometimes at the cost of what made his iteration so unique. In this PG-13-rated spy thriller, a cryptic message from agent James Bond’s (Craig) past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization while M battles political forces to keep Her Majesty’s Secret Service alive. Surpassing The Spy Who Loved Me for best opening sequence, the 24th film in this franchise deftly offers fisticuffs aboard a barrel-rolling helicopter that’s over a thousand-strong Mexico City Day of the Dead procession ... and that’s after an entire city block gets detonated. Yes, Spectre delivers exceptionally well on the extravaganza front while offering a compelling story that ties the entire Craig-era together. With recurring characters M, Q, and Moneypenny now re-established, it feels like this current administration surely took long enough to fully ground its roots in the canon. Spectre does much more than this, however, introducing a supervillain with a lair and some Brosnan-worthy one-liners that lead it somewhat into formula. In other words, it dispenses with any foreplay and gets right to Bond-ing. In the process of going full 007, Spectre ahem, softens the edge of the hard hitting mostly A-Level chapters that preceded it. Even following a recipe, however, it’s a rousing Spectre-cle that offers the actor a fitting bow, something Connery and Moore never took advantage of.

Pitfall (1948) Dick Powell, Lizabeth Scott HHH1/2 — Great Scott Enjoy one of the career highlights of Scranton native Lizabeth Scott (whom we sadly lost to the ages in January), the film noir classic Pitfall. Enjoying a re-release on DVD this week, this film stars Dick Powell (Murder, My Sweet, The Bad and the Beautiful) as a returning World War II veteran who risks his perfect marriage to Jane Wyatt (Lost Horizon, Father Knows Best), career as a Los Angeles insurance executive, and lovely home for a dangerous extra-marital affair with sexy blonde model Lizabeth Scott (The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Dead Reckoning). Thankfully not an adaptation of the ’80s Atari videogame, Pitfall instead presents a deft film noir tale directed by a master of B-Cinema, Andre De Toth (House of Wax, Crime Wave). With handling of infidelity that rivals Double Indemnity, the film succeeds more as a psychological than crime thriller. Even with a ruthless sociopath and corrupt private gumshoe Raymond Burr (Godzilla, Perry Mason) in the mix, the film allows too much melodrama to seep into the shadows. The performances and direction, however, make for a gripping character piece overall.

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Ray Bartolai is the owner and operator of the Bartolai Winery in Harding. He is also the operations manager at Kost Tire & Auto Service in Clarks Summit. Bartolai, 53, is a native of Hughestown and is a graduate of Pittston Area High School. He also received an associate’s degree What do you enjoy doing in your free time? from Johnson College in automotive technology.

I enjoy cooking. And my girlfriend Cindy and I He has a son, R.J., 31 and two grandchildren: enjoy going on road trips. We also have a house Lucca, 3 and Cassandra, 2. He lives at homes in right on the river and it’s really a cool spot to just Dallas and Falls. Meet Ray Bartolai … chill. We light campfires and we have a pontoon boat, so we enjoy spending time on the river.

How did you first acquire your love for mak-

ing wine?

My grandfather and his family made wine as a passion. They made it as something to enjoy around the holidays. When they decided to come to America for a better life, they landed in Scranton and ended up in Pittston Township where a lot of the neighbors made wine. It was kind of a community thing, until everybody started arguing — then it was a household thing. Then my grandfather taught my father how to make it, so they made wine as father and son. And my dad had two brothers, so it was a family thing. After my grandfather died, my father wanted to keep the tradition going, so he taught my brothers and me how to do it. We’ve been making wine for five generations.

Eight years ago, with the opening of the Bartolai Winery, you took that family tradition and turned it into a business. What inspired you to do that?

My dad always wanted to leave something for his children and he wanted to open a winery. All of the wine-making is done here. The grapes are shipped here. We press the grapes here, ferment them, age them, filter them, bottle them and sell them.

What do you enjoy about it the most?

I enjoy making wine with my family. And some of my friends are also involved. To make a product and present it to the public and to have somebody buy it and enjoy — it is indescribable.

It’s a labor of love. It’s a passion that we have. I have it. My son has it. And my father had it. And we just enjoy people. We like to celebrate life, because life is too short.

Favorite music?

I grew up in a great time — the late ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, so it’s The Beatles and The Who. I’m a classic rock guy. I love Rush, Uriah Heap, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin — that’s music. And I love music in general. I love Frank Sinatra and I can listen to anything. I was in a band for many years, so I have a wide musical background.

Ray Bartolai Favorite thing about NEPA? The people. And there is a lot to do in this area if you just look.

Favorite food?

Pasta.

All-time favorite move?

The Godfather.

All-time favorite TV show?

That whole ’70s era had a couple of great You play drums, right? Do you still play? shows that we watched as kids — Happy Days, I sit in. I don’t have time to play with anybody M*A*S*H, Emergency. I don’t have time to watch on a regular basis, but when we have entertainment a lot of TV now, but I like Once Upon A Time and at the winery on the weekends, I usually get to sit in The Voice. on a couple of songs.

Favorite color?

Burgundy. It’s the color of wine.

Follow sports?

I grew up loving the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders. And now I’m an Eagles fan by proximity and my son is a big Eagles fan, so we watch the games. I’m also a little into boxing.

First car?

A 1972 Chevy Nova. It was yellow. And it burned oil.

Favorite city?

I like Philadelphia and I like New York City. And I’ve been to Montreal a few times. If I’m going to get away, it’s either Philadelphia, Montreal or the Inner Harbor at Baltimore.

Favorite vacation spots?

The Caribbean and Italy.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

Your father was the president of the company.

You were the vice president. He passed away a few years ago, but you’re still listed as the vice president. How come?

My dad was the president and there will be no more presidents. He was it. My dad was a unique guy. He was a hard worker. Just worked all his life. He had three jobs so his children would have a better life than he had. He would never tell you he was the president. He was just the guy hanging around having a good time, but when we formed the corporation, we had to have one. And there will never be another.

Favorite quote or catch phrase?

“Watch the ice.” I say it all year long, even in the summer.

What are you reading?

An Italian Journey. Prior to that, I read I Heard You Paint Houses.

Biggest pet peeve?

Leaving the k-cup in the Keurig.

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

A lot of people probably don’t know that I’m a big supporter of the local Lions Club and I do that in my father’s name. When we got flooded in 2011, they came around looking for my dad. They would look for him, to give him meals, every day, for about a month. And so it’s very close to my heart.

Imagine somebody just doing that for another person. Catholic Social Services is another place

that I support. They were also very supportive to flood victims.

Most defining personal moment?

There were two. The first was when my son was born. I can remember driving to the hospital.

I was a young guy. I was only 23 years old. I was told to go into a room and put some scrubs on and 45 seconds later, I’m a father. And ever since that day, I’ve been blessed to have him in my life. It’s awesome to see the good person that he’s grown into. And the second was when my dad died. I realized life is way, way too short. My buddy was gone. My mentor was gone. And whatever I’d done in 50 years and whatever else I am going to do, I only have a short time left to do it. We have a picture of four generations: my dad, myself, my son and my grandson. And when my dad died, the clock clicked. “Now, I’m the next to go. Now, I’m the grandfather.” It’s the natural progression of life.

And all of the things that he stood for and what he did for his children and what he gave us and his bond to family and his values … it just increased the feeling that life is too short. So you live today like there’s no tomorrow.

You really do always seem like you’re having a good time.

Because I am.

to find a plot in it will be shot.” The preface I’d write for your upcoming adventures would be less extreme, but might have a similar tone. That’s because I expect you to do a lot of meandering. At times your life may seem like a shaggy dog story with no punch line in sight. Your best strategy will be to cultivate an amused patience; to stay relaxed and unflappable as you navigate your way through the enigmas, and not demand easy answers or simple lessons. If you take that approach, intricate answers and many-faceted lessons will eventually arrive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Confederation of African Football prohibits the use of magic by professional soccer teams. Witch doctors are forbidden to be on the field during a match, and they are not supposed to spray elixirs on the goals or bury consecrated talismans beneath the turf. But most teams work around the ban. Magic is viewed as an essential ingredient in developing a winning tradition.

Given the current astrological omens, I invite you to experiment with your own personal equivalent of this approach. Don’t scrimp on logical analysis, of course.

Don’t stint on your preparation and discipline. But also be mischievously wise enough to call on the help of some crafty mojo.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Slavery is illegal everywhere in the world. And yet there are more slaves now than at any other time in history: at least 29 million. A disproportionate percentage of them are women and children. After studying your astrological omens, I feel you are in a phase when you can bestow blessings on yourself by responding to this predicament. How? First, express gratitude for all the freedoms you have. Second, vow to take full advantage of those freedoms. Third, brainstorm about how to liberate any part of you that acts or thinks or feels like a slave.

Fourth, lend your energy to an organization that helps free slaves. Start here: http://bit. ly/liberateslaves.

It’s great to have your girlfriend’s kisses kick off a fantasy in your head, but not that you’re playing spin the bottle with a camel.

Unfortunately, there’s really no such thing as “constructive criticism.” As I explain in Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck, “Criticizing people doesn’t make them change; it makes them want to clobber you.” That’s because we’re living in modern times with an antique psychological operating system.

A verbal attack sets off pretty much the same biochemical alarm as a guy in a loincloth and face paint coming after you with a bloody spear. The good news is that turning criticism into opinion often makes all the difference in getting it heard. In this case, this simply involves telling your girlfriend how you like to be kissed — and then (fun!) showing her. It’s great to have a woman who takes your breath away — but not because she’s trying to give you a laryngectomy with her tongue.
