Is this your first rodeo? Here’s what you can expect, newbie

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

ack in the days before barbed-wire fences and highways divided the

land, before cattle hurtled toward the market on a truck, there were miles and miles of open range. Riding through the wild, rugged country were cowboys – old-time wranglers who rode horses, wore broad-brimmed hats and carried lariats to lasso any calf

Days and Championship Rodeo is set for Tuesday through July 22. The 28th annual event begins with a “fun horse show” on Tuesday, followed by “3D Barrel Racing” on Wednesday. Both of those days are likely to attract local, amateur competitors, publicity chairman Dan Stoneham said, and the next four days will attract professionals, likely from several states and Canada. The main action starts at 7:30 each night, Stoneham said, and includes such events as bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc

riding, Brahma bull riding, calf roping, barrel racing for the cowgirls, and, for small children, “mutton bustin.’ ” Now, some folks might say they need no definitions of those activities. Those might be the folks who wear shirts emblazoned with the slogan “This ain’t my first rodeo, ya know.” But, just supposin’ it is your first rodeo, we’ll supply you with descriptions of the various events, as explained on www.bentonrodeo.com.

that might run off.

Somehow they summoned the energy to face a long, dusty trail from, oh let’s say the American Southwest to Kansas City. When their work was done, they entertained each other by demonstrating their skills. Who was the best at riding? Roping? Herding? Putting an animal into a position where it could be branded? If that sounds like a rodeo, fans say, it is. They say competitions born of the cowboys’ work began shortly after the Civil War – and continue today, in places like Benton, a Columbia County town where the Benton Frontier

1-2-3. Those seconds probably seem like they’re taking forever to drag by as Dave Ferdinand strives to stay seated on a bucking bronc.

Continued from page 3

••• BAREBACK BRONC RIDING To stay aboard the horse, a bareback rider uses a leather rigging placed atop the horse’s wither (near the shoulder blades) and secured with a cinch. As the bronc and the rider burst from the chute, the rider must have both spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s feet hit the ground. This is called MARKING OUT. If the cowboy fails to do this, he is disqualified. A bareback rider is judged on his spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned out while he is spurring and his willingness to take whatever might come during his ride SADDLE BRONC RIDING While the bareback rider has a rigging to hold onto, the saddle bronc rider has only a thick rein attached to his horse’s halter. Using one hand, the cowboy tries to stay securely seated in his saddle. If he touches any part of the horse or his own body with his free hand, he is disqualified. Judges score the horse’s bucking action, the cowboy’s control of the horse and the cowboy’s spurring action during an 8-second ride.

PAGE 4

STEER WRESTLING The steer gets a head start, and when the steer wrestler, also known as a bulldogger, reaches the steer, he slides off the right side of his galloping horse, hooks his right arm around the steer’s right horn, grasps the left horn with his left hand and, using strength and leverage, slows the animal and wrestles it to the ground. His work is not complete until the steer is on its side with all four feet pointing the same direction. BARREL RACING Each run involves one woman, three barrels, a horse and the ever-present stopwatch. The horse is ridden as quickly as possible around a clover-leaf course of three barrels. Riders enter the arena at full speed, quickly round each barrel and exit where

they entered. Not only must the horse be swift, but it also must be intelligent enough to avoid tipping the barrels, an infraction that adds five penalty seconds and kills any chance for victory. Thirteen to 14 seconds is generally a winning time in this event. CALF ROPING The mounted cowboy starts from a box, a three-sided, fenced area adjacent to the chute holding the calf. The fourth side of the box opens into the arena. One end of a breakaway rope barrier is looped around the calf’s neck and stretched across the open end of the box. The calf gets a head start, and when it reaches its advantage point, the rope barrier is released. If the roper breaks the barrier before the calf reaches its advantage point, the cowboy is assessed a 10-second penalty. The horse is trained to come to a stop as soon as the cowboy throws his loop and catches the calf. The cowboy then dismounts, sprints to the calf and throws it by hand, a maneuver called flanking. If the calf is not standing when the cowboy reaches it, he must allow the calf to get back on its feet before flanking it. After the calf is flanked, the roper ties any three legs together with a pigging string — a short, looped rope he clenches in his teeth during the run. When the roper finishes tying the calf, he throws his hands in the air as a sign the run is com-

plete. The roper then remounts his horse, rides forward to create slack in the rope and waits six seconds to see if the calf remains tied. If the calf kicks free, the roper receives no time. TEAM ROPING This requires close cooperation and timing between two highly skilled ropers – a header and a heeler – and their horses. The event originated on ranches when cowboys needed to treat or brand large steers and the task proved too difficult for one man. Team ropers start from the boxes on each side of the chute from which the steer enters the arena. The steer gets a head start. One end of the breakaway barrier is attached to the steer and stretched across the open end of the header’s box. When the steer reaches his advantage point, the barrier is released, and the header takes off in pursuit, with the heeler trailing slightly further behind. The ropers are assessed a 10second penalty if the header breaks the barrier before the steer completes his head start. Some rodeos use heeler barriers too. The header ropes first and must make one of three legal catches on the steer – around both horns, around one horn and the head or around the neck. Any other catch by the header is considered illegal, and the team is disqualified. After the header makes his catch, he turns the steer to the left and exposes the steer’s hind legs to the heeler. The heeler then attempts to rope both hind legs.

If he catches only one foot, the team is assessed a five-second penalty. After the cowboys catch the steer, the clock is stopped when there is no slack in their ropes and their horses face one another. BULL RIDING Like bareback and saddle bronc riders, the bull rider may use only one hand to stay aboard during the eight-second ride. If he touches the bull or himself with his free hand, he receives no score. But unlike the other roughstock contestants, bull riders are not required to mark out their animals. While spurring a bull can add to the cowboy’s score, riders are commonly judged solely on their ability to stay aboard the twisting, bucking mass of muscle. The objective is to stay on the bull for a full eight seconds. Two judges each give 1-25 points for the cowboy’s performance and 1-25 points for the animal’s performance, with 100 points being the maximum and considered a perfect ride. Bull riding will be the featured event on Sunday at the Benton Rodeo. MUTTON BUSTIN’ Children who weigh 50 pounds or less are eligible to pre-register in hopes of being chosen to see how long they can remain seated on a sheep. Every night of the rodeo will have six participants, along with some standbys who can fill in if a child decides at the last minute he or she doesn’t want to ride.

In conjunction with the Benton Rodeo, you will find: ••• Such food as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot sausage, french fries, tacos, funnel cakes and pizza will be available, much of it sold by area churches, Scout troops, service organizations and fire companies as fundraisers to support their work. ••• A special kids round-up will take place at 10 a.m. July 21, with an opportunity for children who have special needs to see some rodeo events, meet some of the cowboys and have refreshments, at no charge. ••• A race against leukemia will take place July 21, with a fitness walk at 8 a.m., 6-mile and 3-mile races at 8:30 a.m. and a kids run at 9:30 a.m. Entry forms can be downloaded from bentonrodeo.com. For more info, call 864-3363. ••• Keystone Junior Rodeo Association youth events will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, with goat tying, calf roping, barrel racing and other events. These will be over in time for organizers to get ready for the Bull-A-Rama competition, in which cowboys ride bulls. FRED ADAMS FILE PHOTO/ FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Warped: It’s one crazy carnival

THE GUIDE

By BRAD PATTON bpatton@timesleader.com

hen the Vans Warped Tour rolls into the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain on Wednesday, it will bring multiple stages, a multitude of musical styles

and more than 75 performers. This year’s attendees will be treated to everything from punk rock, metal, electronic, reggae, folk and hip-hop to rockabilly, screamo, post hardcore and other brands of alternative music. ing more and trying to make it the best it can be.” Breathe Carolina, the electronic duo of Kyle Even and David Schmitt, made its first appearances with the Warped Tour in 2009 and returned this year as one of the festival’s headliners. “What’s different this year is our mental state going into the shows,” said Even, who does “unclean” vocals (manipulated by Autotune or vocoders) and plays keyboards, keytar, guitar and bass guitar for the duo. “We know the ins and outs, and we know what to expect more now than in the past.” Breathe Carolina was founded in 2007 in Denver, Colo., when Even and Schmitt did their first recordings using the music-creating software GarageBand. Three albums and a Platinum-selling single later, the duo is now signed to Columbia Records. “When we took it to radio, we were told maybe it will go and maybe it won’t,” Even said of the 2011 release “Blackout.” “It was crazy to see it hit that milestone and take on a life of its own.” The duo released a “reloaded” version of its third album, “Hell Is What You Make It,” on July 10, complete with a remixed version of second single “Hit and Run,” an updated version of “Last Night (Vegas)” and new song “Reaching For The Floor.” “We’re really excited about the new song,” Even said. “It is still electronic, but it also goes back to the sound of some of the older songs we have done in the past.” As for what he wants fans to take away from Wednesday’s performance, Even said, “I want them to take a piece of energy from us and take it to another band, and I just want people to smile and have a good time.”

Some of the bands heading to Scranton this year include All Time Low, Blood on the Dance Floor, Motionless in White, Newfound Glory, Taking Back Sunday and at least three bands whose names begin with the word “we” (We Are The In Crowd, We Are The Ocean, We The Kings). In addition to all the music, the Warped Tour – going strong since 1995 – also brings a carnival-like atmosphere with bands and record labels hawking their wares in tents along the paths between stages and areas for extreme sports. Justina, one of the performers who will be there Wednesday, is a female rap and hip-hop artist from Passaic County, N.J., making her first appearances at the Warped Tour. “I am expecting a lot of craziness and expecting the unexpected,” Justina told The Times Leader before joining the tour for seven East Coast dates. On one of her songs, Justina calls herself “a cross between Adele and Eminem,” and on another she claims to be the “hip hop Joan Jett.” “I definitely love her attitude,” Justina said of Jett, famous for songs such as “I Love Rock and Roll” and “Bad Reputation.” “But I also identify with her musically. She was just so bad ass and did her own thing, and that’s what I do too.” Justina said her latest release, “Route 80,” a mixtape you can stream or download for free from her website justinamusic.com, only shows one aspect of her music. “I get labeled a hip-hop artist, but that’s not all that I am,” she said. “I have rock-’n-’-roll roots, and they will come out more on my album. I pretty much have a whole album of material ready, but I am always record-

Forget that runaway dog By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

Over the years country music has evolved, and none know that better than those who are part of the local country scene. “Country is not so much that you lost your mobile home, you lost your dog, you want it back, not anymore,” Hillbilly D’lux drummer Bruce Marshall said. “Most people still think like that, but, really, country has come a long way.” Hillbilly D’lux has been on the local scene for almost four years. The group is made up of musicians from the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton area of varying ages. Shannon Weeks takes acoustic guitar and mandolin, Phil Cruikshank is on fiddle, keyboards and harp, Mike Jordan plays guitar, Bruce Marshall is on drums, Herman Balas on bass and Marc Olejenik on lead guitar. Every member except Marshall provides both lead and back-up vocals. The group will play at Buck Wild’s Rode House in Wilkes-Barre tomorrow night. Along with the changing sound, showmanship has gone in a different direction. “For example, Garth Brooks is a man that comes out and puts on a rock-’n’-roll country show,” Marshall said. “The same with Brooks and Dunn. It’s turning into a more fun atmosphere, a party atmosphere.” Marshall said that’s exactly what you can expect from a Hillbilly D’lux show. “You will see a wall-to-wall show. We’re up there having fun, interacting with the crowd, playing a lot of material with a range of artists covered. If you’re going to come out and spend 60, 70 bucks on seeing a band between the cover and buying your drinks for the night, we want to make it worth it. We’ve got to do something that will make you come back.” The variety of instruments and voices the band brings to the stage makes for versatility. This group will play anything from Johnny Cash to Miranda Lambert, as well as some surprises. “We might get out of that ‘how

step further with the Steamtown Music Awards. “We want to focus on local bands even more and get the community involved in that,” John Phillips, an organizer of both events, said. The music awards cover 17 categories, including DJ/Electronic Artist of the Year, Drummer of the Year and Song of the Year. Phillips said judges will consider other factors about each nominee in addition to the votes but voting, which is now open at steamtownmusicawards.tumblr.com, is still a big part of the process. Participants can vote once a day every day. The awards will be given Sept. 1 at the Banshee in Scranton. Proceeds, as well as a chunk of money raised through the Showcase and other means, will be used to establish a music scholarship for a local high-school student.

THE GUIDE

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

here’s considerably less drift in “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” the latest in a long

line of lucrative cartoons from Blue

Sky Studios and their friends at Fox. It’s all sight gags and action beats, which tends to cover the shortcomings these assembly-line farces are infamous for. And at a brisk 94 minutes, it’s less reliant on charmPAGE 12

starved chatter among its increasingly over-stuffed voice cast.

Yes, there are even MORE big names doing the talking for the various Ice Age critters – pop stars Nicki Minaj and Jennifer Lopez join Peter Dinklage, Wanda Sykes, Joy Behar, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. But that old rule that “They only add more big names to the voice cast when they’re worried about the animation” doesn’t apply, as this is the least chatty film of this series. The “Ice Age” movies are known for their sloppy science, and this one has the growing extended family of mammoths (Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and now “daughter” Keke Palmer) split up by the splitting of continents. Yeah, Scrat, that nut-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel, had something to do with it.

Manny the mammoth (Romano), Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary), Sid, the innocent but accidentprone sloth (John Leguizamo, always funny) and Sid’s Granny (Sykes) are adrift on an iceberg, wondering how to get back to the others. That’s when they meet the pirates. Of course there are pirates! Captain Gutt is the primate who has figured out how to turn icebergs into buccaneer boats, and his scurvy crew of rabbits, sea lions and blood-thirsty gulls has designs on Manny & Co. Gutt, voiced by Peter Dinklage, leads his crew in a lusty pirate sea chantey. “In a world that’s going under, you See ICE AGE, Page 17

IF YOU GO What: “Ice Age: Continental Drift” ★★ 1/2 Starring: Voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, Denis Leary, Jennifer Lopez, Peter Dinklage Directed by: Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier Running time: 94 minutes Rated: PG for mild rude humor and action/ peril

Still Showing ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE SLAYER – The Rail Splitter is reimagined as a vampire vanquisher, a man seeking vengeance on the monsters who killed his mother. R for violence throughout and brief sexuality. 105 mins. ★ 1/2 “THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN” — The basics are the same: A high-school kid gets bitten by a scientifically modified spider, discovers he has newfound superpowers, decides to use them as a vigilante crime fighter and takes to the streets of New York in an unforgivingly tight red-and-blue suit. But in terms of tone, characters, performances and visual effects, this feels like its own entity and finds a distinct voice. PG-13 for action and violence. 138 mins. ★★★ BRAVE — A beautiful-to-look-at princess story that begins promisingly but still feels so old-fashioned and safe. PG for some scary action and rude humor. 93 mins. ★★ KATY PERRY – PART OF ME – Making a serious documentary about the aggressively over-the-top pop star might seem a bit like trying to grab hold of a cloud. Yet, directors Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz manage to balance the outlandish with the painfully personal in this 3-D concert film/biography hybrid. PG for suggestive content, strong language, thematic elements, smoking. 93 mins. ★★★ MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED — A cute story about zoo animals running off to join the circus. PG for some mild action and rude humor. 92 mins. ★★ MAGIC MIKE – The casting does the most work in this entertaining dramedy set in a sexy/seedy world of male exotic dancers. R for pervasive sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use. 109 mins. ★★★ MOONRISE KINGDOM – A wonderful, wistful tale of 12-year-old lovers on the run. PG-13 for adult themes. 94 mins. ★★★★ PEOPLE LIKE US – This well-acted weeper

A high-school kid still gets bitten by a scientifically modified spider and discovers he has superpowers in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man,’ but this story has a distinct voice. is about a guy who realizes he has a half sister and who injects himself into her life without explaining. PG-13 for language, drug use and brief sexuality. 118 mins. ★★ 1/2 SAVAGES – At least until its tacked-on happy ending, this tightly wound and vastly entertaining pulp thriller, based on Don Winslow’s 2010 novel, is perhaps director Oliver Stone’s strongest work since “Nixon.” In Laguna Beach, Calif., two low-level drug kingpins collide with the unimaginable cruelty of the Mexican cartels. R for drug use, strong sexual content, strong language, graphic violence. 130 mins. ★★★★ TED – A pot-smoking, four-letter-wordspewing, anthropomorphic teddy bear is front and center in this deliciously weird

New on DVD of the guys hitting on teenage girls and fighting with teenage boys. There is slight nostalgic fun to seeing the ups and downs of the lives of these friends since growing up and moving away. But screenwriters Adam Herz, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg keep trying to force these characters into the same mold from 13 years ago. “DOCTOR WHO: THE KROTONS,” GRADE B: Those of you who may have become fans of the “Doctor Who” franchise in recent years can catch up with some of the original Doctors

assault on middle-class American values. R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language and some drug use. 106 mins. ★★★★ TO ROME WITH LOVE — Weaving four stories of Italians and American visitors, Woody Allen creates a lot of clever moments with his ensemble comedy that represents the actor-director’s first on-screen appearance since 2006’s “Scoop.” R for sexual references. 112 mins. ★★ TYLER PERRY’S MADEA’S WITNESS PROTECTION – A Wall Street investment banker who has been set up is relocated with his family to Aunt Madea’s southern home. PG-13 for crude sexual remarks and brief drug references. 114 mins. ★

through DVD releases. This adventure features Patrick Troughton, the second of the 11 actors to play the time-traveling adventurer. The Doctor, Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury) find themselves on the planet of the Gonds, a world ruled and enslaved by the Krotons. The good Doctor and his traveling companions decide to put a stop to their rule. Early episodes don’t have the large budgets of recent “Doctor Who” stories, but they are still cleverly written. “Doctor Who: Death to the Daleks,” featuring the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee), also is being released.

Shot in 2006 and barely released in 2011, Kenneth Lonergan’s follow-up to “You Can Count On Me” finally arrives on DVD – and it is an uncompromising classic. It’s a sign of how long “Margaret” (2011, Fox, R, $30) has been sitting on the shelf, caught up in legal battles, that when former Shickshinny resident Krysten Ritter pops up, she has a blink-andyou’ll-missher role as a shop clerk trying to sell Lisa Cohen (a pre“True Blood” Anna Paquin) a cowboy hat. Since the movie was shot, Ritter, now toplining the sitcom “Don’t Trust The B---- In Apartment 23 ,” has seen her star rise. But she can count herself lucky to have been a part of Lonergan’s vision. “Margaret” was mishandled during its theatrical release, but give it 10 or 20 years, and the film is likely to be remembered as one of the best of 2011. It’s that good. So what’s the movie about? Lisa Cohen is a bratty, articulate, stubborn soul determined to do the right thing after the death of a pedestrian (Allison Janney) in a freak bus crash. The accident, for which Lisa is partly responsible, is the event that catapults her through a series of gripping encounters with her actress-mother (J. Cameron Smith), the unrepentant bus driver (Mark Ruffalo), the victim’s grieving friend (Jeannie Berlin) and a predatory teacher (Matt Damon). Stocked with contrary, complicated characters and rich in novel, unsettling situations, “Margaret” is a smorgasbord of small surprises. Amy Longsdorf writes about DVD and Blu-Ray releases with NEPA connections.

This week’s DVD releases include something for all ages: “AMERICAN REUNION,” GRADE D: The “American Pie” gang gets back together for a high-school reunion. The concept is fine. It’s nice to catch up with Jim (Jason Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), Stifler (Seann William Scott), Oz (Chris Klein) and the rest of the gang. There are some sweet moments with Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) and some funny moments with the worldly Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas).

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Max Burkholder stars in ‘Parenthood’ Q. In the movie “Kindergarten Daycare” with Eddie Murphy, one of the little boys was named Max. He looks like a younger version of the actor in “Parenthood” named Max. Are they the same? A. Actor Max Burkholder indeed played a kid named Max in Eddie Murphy’s “Daddy Daycare” and currently plays Max on the NBC drama series “Parenthood.” Q. In the ’70s I saw a movie about a couple in Australia who ran into a lot of trouble. Recently I saw a movie called “Nature’s Grave.” It looked like the same movie but was made in 2008. Could it be a remake? A. It could. A late ’70s movie called “Long Weekend” was retooled into the more recent film, which was also called “Long Weekend” in some formats but is better known to U.S. audiences as “Nature’s Grave.”

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

Q. “Westward the Women,” a made-forTV movie, was released on VHS. Will it be on DVD? A. I know of only one movie with that title, a 1951 feature starring Robert Taylor as the leader of a wagon train carrying more than 100 women to California to marry men in a female-starved region. Warner Archive released it on DVD in May through its online sales service. You can order it at www.wbshop.com. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

PAGE 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As the song

goes, honesty is such a lonely word — and you may be feeling quite isolated in your current position as Minister of Truth. But stick to your guns. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a bit of a spook factor for you during this Friday the 13th. Some “ghosts” are uninvited guests, but others bring fond memories. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know how you tend to think of strangers who remember your name in a warm and

ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com friendly light? Well, strangers will think of you that way, because you bothered to commit their names to memory. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Negative thoughts are like chocolates with an automatic draw: Sometimes you don’t even realize you’re having one until you’ve taken a bite. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A relationship you recently put on hold is suddenly clamoring for your attention. Give it lavishly now, or you might soon turn around to find this interest has wandered off in search of an embrace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Follow that strange whim you have today. If you’re not too careful, you will become a master of a very unusual craft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A funny feeling

lingers around your day. This may be indicative of a past event that has yet to be dealt with effectively. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). So many friends and family members have claims on your time that you’re feeling a little overwhelmed. Slow down, take a breather, and try to prioritize so no one feels left out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The unconscious is an extremely important part of your psyche. Strive to create the kind of peaceful environment that fosters a sense of safety on all levels. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Loved ones will require patience. This means more than you waiting around for them

to get with the program. This is you waiting around ready to assist in whatever way is needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). That shaft of light on your cheeks is the sun elbowing recent storm clouds out of the way to say hello. Be sure to lift your face up and say hello right back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have more information than you know what to do with, but this is not a time for sharing. Loose lips are dangerous. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). Few work harder than you to make other people’s lives better. This year, the work you do for others makes your own life better in rather obvious ways. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 33, 15 and 39.

Ex-Marine wants to re-enlist where tattoos are welcome Dear Abby: My son is 24 and was honorably discharged as a corporal after a fouryear enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was deployed twice to Iraq. Since his return he has been attending community college, but he lacks the focus and is bored. He has recently announced that he would like to return to the military. When he approached the

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Marine recruiter to re-enlist, he was told he’s ineligible due to tattoos on his arms. After four years of honorable and devoted service, this rejection is insulting. He has announced to family that he will pursue enlistment in the French Foreign Legion next year. This is very distressing to me, and I’m sick with worry

about his well-being. I do not want him to go off to fight in a foreign military. Can you offer any words of wisdom? — Worried Mom in Gainesville, Fla. Dear Worried Mom: Encourage your son to explore enlistment opportunities with other branches of the U.S. military regarding their tattoo policies. However, while you and I might consider his desire to join the French Foreign Legion to be an

extreme overreaction to his rejection by the Marines, as an adult he has a right to make that choice. If he goes through with his plan, he may see less action than he would as a member of the U.S. military. While I can’t make this easier for you as a parent, I do have this advice to offer. Tell your son it would be in his best interest to learn some basic French before he goes. Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The

THE GUIDE

An Italian stalwart L et’s call this one an oldie but goodie. Been around forever, at least as long as the orange Formica tabletops. But nobody seems to mind those. Sometimes our favorite meals come from the most no-frills places, though Marianacci’s, by now a West Side institution, is hardly a hole in the wall. Instead it’s a long-time purveyor of straight-up mainly Italian food that’s topquality in a comfortable but non-fussy environment. One look at the menu and you’ll notice the word “famous” popping up quite a bit – and not only on dishes labeled house specialties. Anything from these categories is likely a great choice, but we mixed things up, and three out of four diners surveyed were equally pleased. The other? Well, we’ll talk about him later. First, the great stuff. Homemade spinachpasta ravioli ($14.95) was as delectable to look at as eat. Yes, green food can please the eye and palate. The fact that these carb pillows were dressed in a wickedly delicious mushroom-prosciutto cream sauce was just gravy (not the literal kind). The ravioli themselves were wafer-thin, testifying to the homemade part of the equation, and the filling burst with flavor. A perfectly fine starter of French onion soup accompanied this dish. The crock was huge – and cheesy, too. Just enough salt, no additional needed. Next up was a house specialty that lived up to its billing in every way: pastacholli. Our taster added chicken for $3 to the $13.95 dish, and the protein only increased her raves. The base is penne pasta, the decorative, colorful and healthful elements broccoli and tomatoes and the crowning glory a grand garlic butter sauce. “Fantastic,” this sampler reported. “Not overpowered at all by the garlic.” Special kudos to the broccoli, which was quite soft (also a matter of preference) and just the way our taster likes it. The soup of the day, a Tuscan bean, was the chosen accompaniment here, but this

was a case of one bowl outshining another of the same. Whereas I got a lovely sample teeming with beans to accompany the next dish I’ll tell you about, our pastacholli fan found hers to contain only broth and sausage, not a single bean. “I did love it,” she said, “but can only imagine what it would have been like with a cannellini bean or two.” Alas, a bad ladle. If only I’d known. I’d have given her my delicious portion on the grounds my main meal was fit for a king, and I hardly needed the soup. Romano crusted chicken ($15.95) was, I tell you, a pure delight to the last crumb. Seeing as I was willing to share, indeed only crumbs remained on the plate. As good as this self-explanatory chicken sounded, I was initially reluctant based on perceived heaviness on a hot night. However, the Romano crust was refreshingly light, somewhere between a light coating and a breading, and it absolutely gave the faultless, clean chicken an extra, and crunchy, kick. Similarly, the Alfredo sauce was extremely, deliciously thin, yet still creamy, presented almost more as a garnish than a sauce. The sautéed spinach and abundant mushrooms underneath had me rhapsodizing immediately. The side dishes made the dinner even more memorable. A twice-baked potato was about as fluffy and soft as I’ve ever had one, with not a trace of dry or leathery skin, and the summer mix of vegetables was a study in bright and crunchy. Which brings me to our only disappointed diner, who wished out loud he was having what I was having. If only he’d trusted his in-

“They pump these flavors out so fast, sometimes it’s hard for one to even stay popular,” Dave Scherbenco, bar manager at Senunas’ Bar and Grill in Wilkes-Barre, said. “This one’s good, though. We just got it in, but I think it’s going to be a hit.” The name is a dead giveaway, as this bit of booze has the crisp flavor of a cola soft drink. One of the most popular ways Scherbenco has seen the

stinct and ordered the dish with “famous” in front of it: the chicken scampi in “famous scampi butter sauce.” But, no, he said, chicken franchese – spellings differ, but here it’s indeed franchese – also called to him, so he went that route. With the chicken itself, he found no fault and noted its high quality. However, he found the sauce slightly bland. “Kudos for not overpowering the sauce with lemon, yet this could have used a little more zip.” Also, alas, the pasta was slightly overcooked, but overall the dish was better than average, he noted. (Even while saying he can’t wait to come back and have himself a whole plate of my Romano-crusted heaven.) Also, he noted, the service was a bit slow,

vodka used is through a Bottlecaps shot. “It’s simple enough, just Red Bull and the Supercola, but people say it tastes just like the Bottlecaps candy.” Senunas’ serves up a more involved mixture, the Cherry Cola mixed drink. It combines Supercola with cherry vodka, club soda and grenadine, a sweet, red syrup. ••• CHERRY COLA

and at times the servers seemed confused. With this I have to agree, but the night was busy. Still, he said, “I would prefer to be asked twice about my satisfaction than not at all.” A good point. Fortunately, we weren’t in a hurry and so stuck around for dessert, shared. A red-velvet cake with a rich cream-cheese center was vibrant, fluffy and all things red-velvet cake should be, and a chocolate peanut-butter cross between a pie and a cake fell apart under a fork, which made us love it all the more. So, two fine finishes, three fine meals and one almost but not quite there. If you ask us, that’s pretty darn good math. Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

It may look like a typical glass of soda, but the Cherry Coke mixed drink at Senunas’ packs more of a punch.

Vodka, vodka everywhere – but only one that tastes like soda. Three Olives keeps churning out new flavors as bar-goers continue to try them and anticipate more, and this time the company has created a flavor that’s simple yet causes quite the buzz: Supercola.
