Donate new, gently used beauty products to regional shelters
f you’re like me, you probably have piles of beauty and skin care products you used once or twice (or never) that sit and collect dust on a shelf. Instead of tossing them out, consider donating them to local women (and men) who need them most in shelters across the region. Many centers need everyday care products for residents, including shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, body lotion and deodorant, which are the most in-demand since they are used up the fastest. Some places also accept beauty and skin care products such as makeup, facial moisturizer and nail polish, as well as hair care products and tools. Pads, tampons, wipes and other feminine hygiene products usually are in high demand as well. To be safe, you should wipe down the outside of every item with a cotton round soaked in rubbing alcohol (no shelter specified this but it’s a rule I want you to follow). To sanitize lipstick, take a clean knife and slice off the tip. Dip the remaining tip of the lipstick into rubbing alcohol for a few seconds. Remove from alcohol and dab with a tissue. Do the same for deodorant. For eye shadow or other pressed powder products, use a tissue to rub off the top layer. Then, pour rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and spritz the pan from at least 6 inches away. Obviously, use your judgement. Don’t try to bring anything dried up or discolored or anything that smells weird. If you wouldn’t use it, don’t give it to someone else. Gently used means gently. Do not try to donate something less than half-full or any gently used item with a wand, such as a liquid lipstick or mascara. That also goes for anything in a jar or pot you’ve already stuck your fingers in, such as face cream. Also, keep your loofahs — those are germ farms. Remember to think inclusively. Certain products I use on my hair aren’t what a woman of color would use on hers. You can’t give something you don’t have, but, if you’re donating something new to a women’s shelter, remember to think of ALL women while you purchase.
Beyond beauty Most of the organizations listed here also accept cleaning supplies, socks, hats and gloves, etc. If you have something else to donate, give them a call.
Some places on this list have men residents, so you also can donate men’s grooming products. Here are a few spots where you can pass on your new or gently used products to someone who needs them.
Women’s Resource Center
The center accepts new, unopened beauty and personal care products listed above as well as new towels, washcloths, hair dryers and gift cards. Anyone interested in donating items should call 570-346-4460 to make arrangements. An Angel Tree at Boscov’s on the second floor of the Marketplace at Steamtown, Scranton, holds cards with specific WRC wish list items, which can be fulfilled up until Thursday, Dec. 20.
Ruth’s Place Women’s Shelter Any toiletry items, new or gently used, are accepted. Ruth’s Place also is always in need of pads and tampons but is not accepting clothing at this time. To donate, call 570-8226817 for drop-off arrangements or drop off items at rear 425 N. Pennsylvania Ave., WilkesBarre. For a full list of items needed, visit Ruth’s Place’s Facebook page.
Catherine McCauley Center Personal and feminine care products as well as baby and children’s bath and care items are accepted. To donate, call the center in Scranton at 570-342-1342 or the Catherine McAuley House in Plymouth at 570-779-2801.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON
Twice-divorced man worried about comfort in staying single Rocks the ladle I’m a 57-year-old twicedivorced man. Though I never wanted to get to a point where romance wouldn’t be in my big picture, I’m feeling done with it. I’ve replaced dating and getting married again with gourmet cooking for one. I’m really enjoying it, but it worries me. Is it OK to be done? — Single and Culinary Well, according to some research, married people do live longer. However, that’s sometimes just because they were unsuccessful at killing each other. There’s this notion that your life is pretty much a black chasm of nothingness if you’re without a “significant other.” Psychologist Bella DePaulo blames this thinking on what she calls “the cult of the couple.” DePaulo, who researches the elements of being satisfyingly single, marvels at “the strange implication” (in a paper by noted marriage researchers) “that people without a stable sexual relationship are wandering adrift with open wounds and shivering in their sleep.” T ho u g h we h u m an s evolved to be interdependent — people who need people — we don’t have to be sleeping with those people on the reg for them to count. In fact, having good friends and close acquaintances you can rely on is associated with a whole bunch of physical and mental health benefits, including better cardiovascular health, increased happiness, and decreased stress and depression. Interestingly, research increasingly suggests that providing social support
may be even better for you than getting it — psychologically and physically. A study co-authored by psychiatrist Randolph Nesse on elderly people who regularly did generous acts for others in their lives is one of a number that find an association between being a “giver” and increased life expectancy. Conversely, Nesse theorized that the rising tide of depression in our society has roots in how disconnected many of us are, leading to a deficit in the level of kindness we evolved to give and receive. Well, you’re set up perfectly to extend yourself for others — like by handing them a plate of your gourmet chow. Consider using your newfound love of cooking to bring a social circle together around your dining room table. Invite friends over every Friday or so to dine or even help you make dinner.
Adhere to eternity I’m a 42-year-old woman, and I’ve been dating the guy in the town house next door for two years. I love him, and I’d like to get married, but he has always taken me for granted. My friends say I’m too available. Yes, I’m always there for him, always picking up the phone or texting back right away, etc. Why is this a bad thing? I’m loyal and caring. Also, I’m not sure how I could be less “available” when he lives next door. — Undervalued Being neighbors is so convenient: “Hi. Could I just borrow your stepladder until tomorrow and your vagina for, like, an hour?” Unfortunately, being ready, willing, available and conveniently located is not exactly
the launchpad to romantic longing. Consider that the restaurant everybody wants to go to is the one where getting a table requires Hollywood connections plus selling two-thirds of your soul to bribe the maitre d’. The food there might not be substantially better than that of the bistro up the street. But exclusivity — how tough it is to book a table — elevates the apparent value of a place. There’s a related concept in relationships, “the principle of least interest.” The term was coined in the 1930s by a sociologist, Willard Waller, and it describes how the person who has the least interest in continuing a relationship has the most power over it. (Modern research by sociologist Susan Sprecher supports Waller’s theory.) Sadly, your boyfriend most likely has a set opinion of your value, so your chances of getting more appreciation from him are probably blown. Still, it’s important to note that in a relationship, you don’t have to keep up the “least interest” gambit forever; you should just hold off on being full-on loyal and caring till you have somebody who’s inspired to do that for you, too. Ultimately, it’s important to work on yourself so you’ll be “hard to get.” But before you get to that point, you can act “as if” — like by setting an alarm for four hours and returning texts then instead of 8.6 seconds after they hit your phone. It’s sure to be seriously difficult at first. But you could probably get into a balanced, loving relationship if you’d just adhere to “the principle of least interest”: We pine for what’s slightly out of reach, not what’s all over us like an oil spill.

Fresh & homemade Duryea diner serves meals with loving touch BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer
arie Brown has always looked after people, from past jobs as an activities director and caregiver in an assistedliving facility to her current role as owner of a restaurant where she serves homemade American food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Old Forge native gained some experience cooking for people outside her family during her time working at the personal-care home, but it wasn’t until she bought a friend’s business and put her own name to it that she really began to share her family’s recipes with the greater community. At Marie’s Diner in Duryea, visitors’ meals get the same loving touch that goes into the food Brown prepares for her own family. “I cook like I cook at home,” she explained. “You go with your heritage, and I was raised more Italian than anything. I learned more about Polish food when I married my husband, and I make my mother’s coleslaw here. It all came together that way.” She’s come a long way even from her early restaurateur days in Old Forge when she took over a diner on Lonesome Road. The spot was small but earnest, with everything made hot off the grill in front of diners. Brown casually looked for years for a larger venue to grow her business and found potential in a former doll factory on McAlpine Street that she rehabbed over 14 months with help from her relatives, opening finally this past May. “My son built the booths and breakfast bar, and my whole big family helped with staining and everything else down to the nitty-gritty,” Brown said. “I really never thought it would happen, and now it’s here. We had a nice warm welcome from the town of Duryea.” The building was transformed from its previous incarnation of bleak cinderblock walls and leaky roofs to its current state as a warm and cozy diner with a robin’s egg blue interior.

Devon O’Keefe makes his living as a fulltime artist, and while he loves art, music is his full-time hobby. He works as a tattoo artist at Glass Heart Tattooing & Arts in Plains Twp. but also is an illustrator who has given his talents to many children’s books and does commissioned paintings, too. He studied voice and piano at Baptist Bible College (now Clarks Summit University) and graduated with a degree in graphic design and illustration from Marywood University. He and his wife, Danielle, have two daughters, Story, 3, and Ivy, 2.

Meet Devon O’Keefe...
Which came first, the studio art or tattoo art? How did one lead to the other? I illustrated a book cover, and it was a collection of poems someone wrote. He asked me to do the book cover, which was a watercolor conch shell. He ended up going to Derek Zielinski, who is now the owner of (Glass Heart Tattooing & Arts), to get that tattooed on his arm. He showed it to me after, and I thought it was really cool. I decided I was going to go to him for my next tattoo. He tattooed my hand, and he knew of my art before I came to him. While he was tattooing me, he was secretly interviewing me, and he told me afterwards. He called me a week later and asked if I wanted to be his apprentice and tattoo with him. I fell in love with it. Coming into it was a totally different way from the normal way of getting into tattooing.

Have you had a moment or time in your life that helped shape who you are today? The first thing that comes to mind is having kids. They’ve taught me so many lessons in life.

‘Mary Poppins Returns’ a sequel worthy of the name
ARNING: Small spoonfuls of sugary spoilers ahead! Now that’s what I call a fantastic follow-up of a pop-in. A mere 54 years after Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins descended from the sky with her umbrella, working her magic with one downtrodden family onscreen in a movie destined to become a timeless Disney classic cherished by multiple generations of viewers worldwide, the practically perfect nanny has returned. The good news: While it would be all but impossible to match one of the most beloved and acclaimed musicals of all time, “Mary Poppins Returns” is a sequel worthy of the name. This is a wall-to-wall smile of a movie: big of heart and large in scale, lavishly staged, beautifully photographed and brimming with show-stopping musical numbers. Again, it would be folly to expect any of the individual numbers or the soundtrack as a whole to attain the lasting pop culture status of “A Spoonful of Sugar,” et al., but you’ll likely be humming the melodies of more than a few of the tunes from “Returns” as you exit the theater, and in the days and weeks to follow. Of course, all the noble intentions, all the infectious musical numbers, all the clever call-backs in plot and character, all the potentially funny and exhilarating and heart-tugging adventures — all of that hinges on the casting. If we don’t love the new Mary Poppins, how are we to even consider falling for the movie itself ? Ah, but from the moment Emily Blunt lightly floats to the ground through the snarling winds of a ferocious storm, umbrella in hand of
Emily Blunt stars as Mary Poppins in “Mary Poppins Returns.”

RICHARD ROEPER
Movie critic
course, it’s difficult to imagine anyone else more suited to the role, more at home inhabiting the cheeky, strongwilled, delightfully adventurous, politely subversive and always loving Mary Poppins. She is sensational. And there’s star power a-poppin’ in the supporting cast, from Lin ManuelMiranda’s brightly shining and winning performance as Jack, the lamplighter with a heart of gold and the spirit of a hero who is our singing guide throughout the fantasy adventure; to Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer as the grown-up Banks siblings, who have nearly forgotten
Mary Poppins’ lessons in the face of real-life troubles; to the “surprise” cameos from a couple of living legends in their 90s. “Mary Poppins Returns” is set in London during the economic depression, aka the Great Slump of the 1930s, about a quarter-century after the events of the original film. A year after the death of his wife, Michael Banks (Whishaw) remains a broken man, stumbling through everyday life in a haze, barely hanging on. To be sure, Michael is a devoted father to his children — Anabel (Pixie Davies), John (Nathanael Saleh) and little Georgie (Joel Dawson) — but without the help of the daffy but loving housekeeper Ellen (Julie Walters) and Michael’s selfless sister, Jane (Mortimer), he’d be lost.
‘Mary Poppins Returns’ Stars: Emily Blunt, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer Rated: PG for mild thematic elements and brief action Running time: 130 minutes Grade: ★★★ 1/2 (out of four) In fact, even WITH their assistance, Michael is facing ruin. He’s on the verge of losing the family house on Cherry Tree Lane — the very house in which Michael and Jane grew up. Even worse, Michael is becoming increasingly impatient and distant with the children, and he’s in danger of forever losing sight of what really matters in this world. That’s just about the time Mary Poppins re-appears and announces she’ll be taking on the role of the nanny for Michael’s children, because heaven knows they need some discipline and
guidance (oh and maybe some heaping scoops of magic and wonder as well). Poof! Just like that, a mundane thing like bath time for the grimy, grumbling kids turns into an exhilarating and surreal underwater and on-the-water thrill ride. (By the time it’s over, even the most cynical of the children is fully with Team Poppins.) And in perhaps the most memorable adventure in the entire film, a crack in a ceramic bowl in the Banks’ home leads to Mary and Jack and the kids plunging into the world depicted in the etchings on that bowl. Cos-
tumed as if they’re animated characters but retaining their live-action forms, they interact WITH animated, talking animals, from a dog to a horse to a badger, in a prolonged sequence featuring an elaborate musical number and some genuinely harrowing escapades. Great stuff, taking advantage of modern-day technology while remaining lovingly true to the visual spirit of the original. Meryl Streep has a singlescene, a comic-relief, almost exhaustively over-the-top appearance as Mary’s eccentric cousin Topsy. It’s reminiscent of one-offs in many a Broadway musical, and I’m not sure it was all that necessary, especially in a film that, with all its bright spots, does lag here and there over the two-hour, 10-minute running time. David Warner is a hoot as the retired naval officer Admiral Boom, still living across the way from the Banks’ house. Colin Firth is a hiss-worthy villain as William Wilkins, the current president of the Fidelity Fiduciary Bank, who is essentially the Mr. Potter to Michael Banks’ George Bailey. I don’t think it’s much of a surprise anymore, given all the pre-film publicity, but I’ll issue a SPOILER ALERT one last time before noting the absolutely lovely and sweet and funny and touching cameos by Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. What a gift it is to see the 93-year-old Van Dyke and Lansbury on the big screen again. And what a magnificent and joy-inducing holiday present “Mary Poppins Returns” is for all of us.

BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer
cranton-born musicians are coming home for the holidays, and they’re bringing their friends with them. The annual NEPA Holiday Show, featuring native Scranton band the Menzingers, will take the stage Saturday, Dec. 22, from 5 to 10:30 p.m. at Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple, 420 N. Washington Ave. New this year, the band switched up the acts on the show to feature new bands, said Tom May, Menzingers guitarist and singer. Some hold Scranton roots, such as Dark Thoughts, whose bass player hails Scranton, and Abingtons native singersongwriter James Barrett. Pacific-Northwest band Ramona just wanted to see what the NEPA Holiday Show was all about. Changing up the bill adds something fresh to the much-loved event which, May said, is an anticipated part of the holiday season for the performers and fans. “Every year, people reach out to us asking about it earlier and earlier,” he said. “It’s really become almost an institution on its own.” Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show, a v a i l a b l e a t nepaholidayshow.com. T h e eve n t a l s o w i l l include a Toys for Tots drive and raffle. Each person who donates a new, unwrapped toy will be entered to win a bundle including shirts, swe at s h i r t s a n d a u t o graphed LPs and EPs. Philanthropy is at the
heart of the show. Proceeds benefit art and music programs for kids in the Scranton area, which remains close to the musicians’ hearts. “When we got our start, it was in the music and art scene in Scranton, and that’s what’s allowed us to travel the world and follow our dreams and have those experiences,” May said. “Those programs inspire and help so many people, and we want (the programs) to keep feeding those younger generations.” May noted there’s a great amount of nationally and internationally recognized artists who hail from the region, and the band almost can guarantee to run into a few fellow natives in their travels. No matter where they go in the world, it’s a feeling like no other for the Menzingers and other bands from NEPA to play in their hometown. “It’s always fun to come back home and play this event and just see everyone,” May said. “This is such a tight-knit community. It’s such a great area to be from.” Contact the writer: gmazur@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9127; @gmazurtt on twitter

From the lesser label of Napa fixture Hess, Hess Select North Coast 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon offers bright and ripe plum and blackberry flavors, a medium body and softness. Kudos for making a moderate-alcohol cabernet. This one weighs in at 13.5 percent. $16. ★★★★ Frank Family Vineyards in Napa Valley is known for massive wines.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consumer Reports said that between 1975 and 2008, the average number of products for sale in a supermarket rose from about 9,000 to nearly 47,000. The glut is holding steady. Years ago you selected from among three or four brands of soup and shampoo. Nowadays, you may be faced with 20 varieties of each. I suspect that 2019 will bring a comparable expansion in some of your life choices — especially when you’re deciding what to do with your future and who your allies should be. This could be both a problem and a blessing. For best results, opt for choices that have all three of these qualities: fun, usefulness and meaningfulness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People have tried to convert ordinary metals into gold since at least 300 AD. At that time, Egyptian alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis unsuccessfully mixed sulfur and mercury in the hope of performing such magic. Fourteen centuries later, seminal scientist Isaac Newton also failed in his efforts to produce gold from cheap metal. But now, let’s fast forward to 20th-century chemist Glenn T. Seaborg, a distinguished researcher who won a share of the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1951. He and his team did an experiment with bismuth, an element immediately adjacent to lead on the periodical table. By using a particle accelerator, they literally transmuted a small quantity of bismuth into gold. I propose that we make this your teaching story for 2019. May it inspire you to seek transformations that have never before been possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): President Donald Trump wants to build a concrete and fenced wall between Mexico and America, hoping to slow down the flow of immigrants across the b o r d e r. M e a n while, 12 Northern African countries are collaborating to build a 4,750-mile-long wall of droughtresistant trees at the border of the

Erecting new boundaries will be healthy for you — if it’s done out of love and for the sake of your LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Be very, very health, not out of fear and divisiveness. careful what you put into that head, because you will never, ever get it out.” This advice is CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian sometimes attributed to 16th-century politipoet and filmmaker Jean cian and cardinal ThomCocteau advised artists as Wolsey. Now I’m offerto notice the aspects of ing it to you as one of their work that critics your important themes didn’t like — and then in 2019.

Awash in enthusiasm and ambition, you’ll have the power to launch a new phase SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Until of development that could animate and 1920, most American women didn’t have the motivate you for a long time. right to vote.

and primed to innovate. You’ll have the courage and resourcefulness necessary to try seemingly unlikely and unprecedented feats, and you’ll have a knack for ushering the future into the present.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Studies show that the best possible solution to the problem of homelessness is to provide cheap or free living spaces for the homeless. Not only is it the most effective way of helping the people involved, but also, in the long run, it’s the least expensive. Is there a comparable problem in your personal life? A chronic difficulty you keep putting bandages on but which never gets much better? I’m happy to inform you that 2019 will be a favorable time to dig down to find deeper, more fundamental solutions and to finally fix a troublesome issue rather than just addressing its symptoms.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many people in Iceland write poems, but only a few publish them. There’s even a term for those who put their creations away in a drawer rather than seeking an audience: skúffuskáld, literally translated as “drawer-poet.” Is there a comparable phenomenon in your life? Do you produce some good thing but never share it? Is there a part of you that you’re p ro u d o f but kee p secret? Is there an aspect of your ongoing adventures that’s meaningful but mostly private? If so, 2019 will be the year you might want to change your mind about it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Scientists at Goldsmiths University in London did a study to determine the catchiest pop song ever recorded. After extensive research in which they evaluated an array of factors, they decided that Queen’s “We Are the Champions” is the song that more people love to sing than any other. This triumphant tune happens to be your theme song in 2019. I suggest you learn the lyrics and melody, and sing it once every day. It should help you build on the natural confidence-building influences that will be streaming into your life.

Holiday lights
Seven Tubs Nature Area At Seven Tubs Nature Area, visitors can trek on the 1.8-mile loop trail that takes them past the numerous natural wonders on display — a series of waterfalls along Wheelbarrow Run that formed as water flowed over potholes (aka tubs) in the bedrock. Situated on 500 acres accessible at 900 Bear Creek Blvd., Plains Twp., the moderate trail also is open to dogs, so grab your furry friend and fill your lungs with the fresh, cold winter air. Visit delawareandlehigh.org for more information.
Nay Aug Park, Mulberry Street and Arthur Avenue, Scranton, lights up every year with displays of lighted characters and holiday scenes. Cruise through the display from the warmth of your car and explore this annual tradition, lit from 5 to 9 p.m. Another popular spot to see holiday lights is at the Peckville Christmas House at 1130 Marion St., where visitors will find an elaborately decorated property full of lights that celebrate the holiday spirit. One new activity this year is a scavenger hunt in which guests can try to find 11 unique decorations. The house lights up Mondays through Thursdays from 5 to 9 p.m. and Fridays through Sundays from 5 to 10 p.m.
Lego Winter Reading Program Children can grow in their reading skills while also winning prizes in West Pittston Library’s Lego Winter Reading Program. Once registered, children will receive a Lego mini figure reading log and Lego bookmark. They can color one mini figure for every 20 minutes they read through Feb. 24 and then turn in their completed logs for a chance to win a Lego building book. The top reader will win a copy of “The Lego Ninjago Movie.” The Lego Club meets Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. at the library, 200 Exeter Ave. Children who cannot attend can post a picture of their Lego creation and the book they are reading in the library’s Lego Winter Reading Facebook group so their entries are recorded. For more information, call 570-6549847 or visit wplibrary.org.

There’s lots of local history and heritage in Northeast Pennsylvania to pique your curiosity. Waverly Community House, 1115 North Abington Road, designed “Destination Freedom,” a self-guided walking tour, to allow guests to visit and learn about local sites that were part of the Underground Railroad. You can take the tour from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Maps are available in the Abington Visitor’s Center at the Comm’s main offices Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guests also can arrange to pick up maps outside those hours by calling 570-586-8191, ext. 7.

Psycho Sudoku
Puzzle Page
“Sum Sudoku” Put one digit from 1-9 in each square of this Sudoku so that the following three conditions bare met: 1) each row, column, and 3x3 box (as marked off by heavy lines in the grid) contains the digits 1–9 exactly one time; 2) no digit is repeated within any of the areas marked off by dotted lines; and 3) the sums of the numbers in each area marked off by dotted lines total the little number given in each of those areas. Now do what I tell you — solve!!
“Cast of Characters”--all with the help of one person.
