Flood-mud-free fair returns

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

his year you can glide above the Bloomsburg Fair, perhaps waving to your friends when you spot them in the crowd below. Your trip won’t be a short one, either. “It’s the longest in North America,” said Bobby Pugh of Reithoffer Amusements, the company that installed the new, gondola-type sky ride.

“It’s 2,200 feet one way,” Pugh said, explaining you can take the sky ride one-way or roundtrip, back to your starting point at the 157th annual fair, which begins today. If you like wilder rides, there’s The Stinger, which turns you upside down, 80 feet in the air. There’s also The Speed, a ride that has you zipping along at 60 miles per hour at one point. Too fast, you say? Then please know you have the option of strolling through the fair, inspecting pumpkins bigger than your average wheelbarrow, letting your children play with sand toys amid the thousands of kernels in the

“corn box,” or visiting the farm animals. “We get a lot of questions, things like ‘Did the brown-andwhite (cows) make the chocolate milk?’ ” said Jeff Giger of Bloomsburg, the superintendent of livestock, who has scheduled daily tours to help city slickers learn more about the animals. “We try to gear the tours to what a lot of people don’t know,” he said. “For example, goat’s milk is good for cheese and fudge.” Giger has organized the showing of cows, horses, sheep and pigs, some 1,300 animals in all. “That doesn’t include the chickens and rabbits,” he said. “That’s another division.” Animal highlights of the fair include a 4-H horse and pony team running and trotting in formation, in time to popular music, a gymnastics team vaulting on horseback and a six-horse hitch that will demonstrate the pulling of a Cinderella’s coach. That’s just for the demo, Giger said. If people want to ride in the coach, that is an available concession, but two Percherons will do the job of pulling. Last year’s fair, you might remember, would have been the

tions. The historical society will make

a home at Cooper’s Cabana between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will

show 35-minute video on the Knox Mine Disaster and a12-minute video tour of the site itself. Several discussions will take place during the day, including “Scratching the Surface,” about 300 years of life in the Wyoming Valley, “Lackawanna River Happenings” and “A Talk with Miners,” which Dziak considers especially important. “There are a lot of misconceptions about miners, mine owners, breaker boys,” Dziak said. “We’re bringing in some people who actually worked in the coal mines so they can tell what life was really like back then.” The society also will provide a directory of Pittston residents so people can look back at family lineage.

sk Greater Pittston Historical Society program coordinator John Dziak why it’s important to have events such as the Pittston Riverfest, and he takes a moment. “I want to say that it’s so people will never forget the things that happened around here, but honestly most of them don’t even know about it to begin with,” he explains after a pause. You can look around in the area, he says, but learn very little, for example, about one of the most significant events in Pittston’s history: the Knox Mine Disaster. That’s why the Historical Society and Pittston residents are setting out to

You don’t need to look twice to realize these walking dead aren’t pretty, but they will be happy to see you – brains, flesh and all.

Get zombified in Scranton By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

Is that a shuffling sound behind you? Don’t take it lightly this weekend because odds are it’s a zombie coming for your brains. Riding the wave of the ever-popular horror genre that focuses on the flesh-eating walking dead, the first-ever Infect Scranton Zombie Convention will begin tonight and shamble on through Sunday. Organizer Robert Savakinus knows the value of a good zombie and understands why people seem to be latching on to the phenomenon now more than ever. “The idea of an outbreak, like in ‘28 Days Later,’ or the T-virus, made famous in the ‘Resident Evil’ franchises, really isn’t too far out of the realm of possibilities,” he said. “Understand that people who are ‘prepping for the zombie apocalypse’ are actually prepping for any type of disaster. And, that said, if they are doing so under the guise of a zombie outbreak, what real harm is there?” The zombie convention will offer some crash courses on just how to prepare in case the day the dead overrun the earth does, in fact, come. The main portion of the convention will happen Saturday at Riverside High School in Taylor, which will be transformed into a post-zombie apocalypse military camp. Con-goers will be treated not only to panel discussions with zombie enthusiasts and those wellversed in zombie make-up and films but to other events labeled “Hand-to-Hand Combat Techniques” and “Zombie Preparedness 101.” A panel discussion with stars of

provided the music as well. “I think he wrote about nine songs for it,” Crofchick said. Other fairy stories in the mix include “A Thousand Years,” “The Brave Little Seamstress,” and “Kerri Woodengown.” Crofchick herself is directing “The Highway Man,” which comes from an old poem about “a marauder who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.” The thief, who’s not really a bad guy, is trying to make his way back to the inn to meet his girlfriend, but some soldiers are waiting to ambush him and … well, in that way some ballads have, the two young lovers will be united in death. “They come back as ghosts at the end,” Crofchick said. “One girl sings the story.

Also on the menu are “Affection in Time,” “Cat-Lady,” “Inconsolable” and “The Race Play.” To heighten the emotional intimacy, audience members will be seated on stage with the actors. Seating is limited, and reservations are encouraged.

These are just a few of the plots you’ll encounter if you attend The Limelight Players’ production of “6 Fairly Rare Fairy Stories” tonight through Sept. 30 at the Phoenix Performing Arts Center in Duryea. Compare them to “Cinderella” or “Snow White,” and you’ll see these stories really are somewhat obscure. “We’ve taken fairy tales from the Andrew Lang collection from the early 1900s and adapted them to modern day,” said Kim Crofchick, who is sharing directing duties with some of her students. Sisters Margaret and Katie Roarty from Luzerne, for example, are directing “The Golden Branch,” which stars a princess and prince, each with a physical disability, who resist their parents’ plan for them to marry. “They don’t want to get married because they don’t feel they could love someone else when they don’t even love themselves,” 14-year-old Katie Roarty said. After first making the superficial choice for outward beauty, the young couple eventually come to appreciate each other. When the prince is trying to wake the princess in the final scene, the Roarty sisters complement the scene with music from Owl City. “It’s perfect,” Katie Roarty said, reciting the lyrics, “I am not my own for I have been made new. Please don’t let me go. I desperately need you.” Fellow thespian Louis Jablowski wrote “The Tale of the Youth Who Set Out to Find His Talent” for the Limelight production and

I think people will be surprised at what they see in Agriculture; we have murals of the four seasons.” Some fair-goers may come primarily to see a demolition derby, hear a concert or experience a tractor pull. But, chances are, they also look forward to eating their favorite fair

‘MASTER’ A MUST-SEE IF YOU GO

By CARY DARLING Fort Worth Star-Telegram

riter/director Paul Thomas Anderson crafts engrossing, bigcanvas character studies, but “The Master” may go down as one of his most compelling works for two simple reasons: Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

There’s the added heat generated by the subject matter – the inner world of a religion that seems suspiciously like Scientology – but that would matter little if the performances weren’t so riveting. Set in the period just after WWII, “The Master”paintsapictureofanAmericainfluxasvet-

erans – some of them mentally broken – try to wedge themselves back into society. One of them is Freddie Quell (Phoenix), a man lost on a sea of emotional turbulence. He sabotages his job as a portrait photographer by getting into a brawl with a client. His stab at being a farm worker is cut short by accusations he tried to poison one of his workmates. The only thing he seems to do well is

mix up a particularly powerful brand of homemade hooch, a concoction of which he drinks far too much. So he’s especially vulnerable when he stumbles into a party for The Cause, a spiritual movement fronted by the charismatic writer Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman). Dodd sees something in the volatile Quell that is missing from his dispassionate son (Jesse Plemons) or introverted new son-in-law (Rami Malek). Quell, after some struggle, finds in Dodd someone who seems to have the answers to the questions he hasn’t even thought to ask himself. It’s this dance of trust and mistrust between thetwomenthatmakes“TheMaster”fascinating as their relationship evolves into something beyond mere teacher-student. The burly See MASTER, Page 17

An old buddy-cop conceit with new thrills By CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press Movie Critic

You’ve seen the buddy-cop movie a million times, especially the mismatched buddy-cop movie. Having the police officers come from different racial backgrounds is an especially tried-and-true element of this genre. You’ve also seen the found-footage movie a million times, beginning with the “Blair Witch Project” in 1999. A character carries a camera around everywhere, documenting everything, or maybe a camera just happens to be rolling, and it captures strange goings-on.

IF YOU GO What: “End of Watch” ★★★ Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena Directed by: David Ayer Running time: 108 minutes Rated: R for strong violence, disturbing images, pervasive language including sexual references and drug use

It’s a conceit that reflects the narcissism of the iPhone generation. All this brings us to “End of Watch,” which combines these two approaches: It’s a racially mismatched buddy-cop movie in

which the cops record their daily activities while on patrol, from mercilessly teasing each other in the squad car between calls to tracking bad guys through the dangerous streets and alleyways of South Central Los Angeles. But admittedly, the found-footage aesthetic infuses the film with intimacy and vibrancy; it creates the illusion that what we’re watching is unscripted, and so we feel like we don’t know what’s going to happen next. And co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena have such tremendous chemistry, they make you want to ride alongside

them all day. As they insistently goof on each other, their banter reveals not just a believable brotherly bond but the kind of gallows humor necessary to make the horrors of their profession tolerable. “End of Watch” follows Brian and Mike through a series of calls, each of which results in a success for this intrepid young team. They begin receiving acclaim within their department, but they also attract the attention of a power-hungry Mexican street gang. From the brutal daily violence to the dramatic finale, the film is thrilling and uncompromising.

JUDGE

is one to DREDD By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

n a future when much of America is irradiated and 800 million people are crammed into MegaCity, the concrete metropolis stretching from Boston to Washington, tens of thousands are packed into mega high-rises, many at the mercy of mega criminals.

and their prisoner must fight their way out of this building, which Ma-Ma’s minions have on lockdown.

The 3-D here is used to great effect in slow-motion shootings, impalings and throat slashings, but the villain is poorly drawn.

Headey just isn’t “big” enough to suggest a murderous monster who ruthlessly slashed and intimidated her way to the top.

The judges are all that stand in the way of anarchy. They’re wired-in, hi-tech hunter/prosecutor/killers, men and women who solve (sort of) crimes, catch criminals and dole out punishment, on the spot. The death penalty is their favorite. There’s a new drug making the rounds, and Ma-Ma (Lena Headey, all flashy, scar-riddled makeup) is the drug lord who has it. When Dredd and the “mutant” psychic judge-in-training, Anderson (Thirlby), nab one of MaMa’s thugs, it means war. Judge Dredd and Anderson

A swing and a miss By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

“Trouble With the Curve” is a baseball dramedy that telegraphs its pitches. We see them coming long before they cross the plate. It has the faded twinkle of lateperiod Clint Eastwood, embracing, one more time, his role as America’s Coot. He plays a chatty old cuss named Gus Lobel, legendary Atlanta Braves scout. His boss (John Goodman) ticks off the superstars he discovered and insists “Gus could spot talent from an airplane.” But he’s an anachronism, a “feel” and “sound” guy in an age of computer-accessible statistics. And he’s losing his sight. The new punk in the clubhouse wants him put out to pasture. Gus has an ambitious and blunt daughter (Amy Adams), a 33-year-old lawyer gunning for a firm partnership who has ambivalent (at best) feelings for the old

man but is cajoled into joining Gus for one last spring scouting trip to the Carolinas. That feels contrived because it is. Randy Brown’s script underlines “foreshadowing” with a magic marker, adds “big secrets” to relationships and shoehorns in sentimental slop. And the directing is leisurely through it all. Eastwood would have done it differently. But as the star, he stumbles. Still, like baseball itself, this is meant to feel out of its time.

ALSO OPENING What: “House at the End of the Street” (not screened for critics) Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Elisabeth Shue and Max Thieriot Directed by: Mark Tonderai Genre: Horror/Thriller Plot summary: A mother and daughter move to a new town and find themselves living next door to a house where a young girl murdered her parents. When the daughter befriends the surviving son, she learns the story is far from over.

Multiple plot threads blend perfectly in a cinematic tapestry that celebrates life and the wide assortment of those who have lived it. “KATY PERRY: PART OF ME THE MOVIE,” GRADE AMINUS: Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz spotlight Perry’s energetic California Dreams Tour but never shy away from the dark emotional realities behind the scenes.

It makes sense that George Cukor, the helmer behind “The Women,” would adapt Irving Wallace’s bestseller “The Chapman Report” (1961, Warner Archive, unrated, $25), the fictionalized account of a pair of Kinsey-esque sex researchers (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Andrew Duggan) dispatched to suburbia to probe a handful of women about their most intimate feelings. The scripter of this odd picture was Don Mankiewicz, son of the Wilkes-Barre-reared Herman J. Mankiewicz (co-writer of “Citizen Kane) and Mank’s widow, Sara (who was a member of Cukor’s inner circle). Don would go on to a successful career in TV, writing the pilot of “Ironside” as well as the “Star Trek” episode “Court Martial” and a mini-series based on President John F. Kennedy’s “Profiles In Courage.” But he clearly was out of his comfort zone with “The Chapman Report,” which bombed upon its release back

-- McClatchy-Tribune Newspapers

in the early ’60s. Mankiewicz went out of his way to bad-mouth the film to Cukor biographer Patrick McGilligan, insisting it sprung from a “dreadful concept” and that the movie was “nothing of value to anybody.” That’s not quite the case. The subject matter was incredibly daring for the early ’60s, and, from the beginning, Cukor had problems with both the censors and producer Richard Zanuck, who reportedly cut 20 minutes from the film even after it enjoyed a successful preview screening in San Francisco. What remains of “The Chapman Report” is uneven but fascinating, particularly the segments about an adulterer (Shelley Winters), a frigid widow (Jane Fonda) and a sex addict (marvelous Claire Bloom). “The Chapman Report” might be flawed, but it is never less than fascinating.

THE GREAT DEBATE:

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

Beer vs. Win

ine or beer? One of those choices clearly has always had a more prominent place at the dinner table. Let’s just say long has the cork reigned. Lately, however, brews, particularly in this era of the highly coveted craft variety, have been making big moves, muscling their way into place settings and ready to push the alwayspopular vino around a bit. The result? Call it a battle of the bottles, and it’s playing out at popular restaurants and entertainment spots near you. Been to a matchmaking night lately? No, we’re not talking about love, unless maybe you’re looking for a perfect marriage of wine and food or beer and food, which is basically what the plethora of drink-centric events are all about. This weekend and next week alone, you can pick your pleasure and pair good taste with good education at Cooper’s Seafood House in Pittston, where a Weyerbacher Brewing Company Beer Dinner is planned for Sunday, or at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Plains Township, where the next wine-pairing dinner in an ongoing series is set for Tuesday. And next weekend, wine and food pairing will take on a street-festival at-

mosphere at the annual Cork & The Fork event at the Mount Airy Casino Resort. Beer and spirits will be in plentiful supply there, too. Put simply, fall is the perfect time to drink up – wine, beer or both.

For beer backers To Cooper’s, the Weyerbacher Brewing Company, based in Easton, will bring six craft beers, all carefully chosen to pair with particular foods. It might sound simple, but there truly is an art to such tag-teaming. First, it’s all about balance. “When it comes to beer you need to look at how complex the beer is and go from there,” said Carl Achhammer, bar manager at Bart and Urby’s in downtown Wilkes-Barre, which was among the first area restaurants to try out the concept of the beer dinner. Lucky’s Sporthouse in Wilkes-Barre Township soon followed suit. “You need to strike a balance between the taste of the beer and the food,” Achhammer said. “A wheat beer is something that goes well with light food, like salads, so it’s a good starter at the beginning of a dinner. If you’re looking for a beer that goes well with almost any type of food you want to go for a lager or a very pale ale.” Mary Hudak, catering manager at Cooper’s, said the menu for Sunday’s Weyerbacher dinner was actually prepared first, then the beers were chosen to accompany. She’s excited

This will be paired with Weyerbacher’s Merry Monks, a creamy brew with a hint of banana. A soup and appetizer course will be paired with Last Chance IPA and Blithering Idiot, respectively, and the main course will be a mustardcrusted pork prime rib with wild cherry and apricot chutney, Vermont cheddar spatzle and braised butternut acorn squash. This will be paired with Old Heathen, a dark Imperial Stout. Then will come the fabulous finish. “We really get into the season for

dessert,” Hudak said. “Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin will be matched with an autumn panna cotta that consists of roasted fig, Granny Smith apples and applejack liqueur, topped with whipped cream.” The order in which everything is served also is key. “You generally start with light and go to dark for a beer dinner, which also means the food tends to go lighter to heavier,” Achhammer said. “Sometimes we use a spicy chili as an appetizer to get the palate warmed up and the taste buds open, and then we build from there.” What’s to thank for all this newfound interest in beer? “The microbrewery phase has really increased,” Achhammer said. “Peo-

ple want something n something better, bot beer and food.”

with hot peppers, the reason being the wine is going to be completely drowned out by the peppers, and you won’t be able to enjoy it.” “That being said, a sauvignon blanc will pair very nicely with a piece of sea bass or fish that might be just broiled with a little bit of lemon or some kind of white sauce. The two will stand up in your mouth together, not drown each other out.” The order of wines also is important when serving a multicourse meal. “We almost always start with the whites and climb the flavor profile, up to almost always ending with a Cabernet or Shiraz,” Marianacci said. This method is employed so the tastebuds aren’t worn out by the time dessert rolls around. “Your palate will get exhausted if you drink anything too heavy in the beginning,” Marianacci said. “The mouth gets overpowered, tired, by the time you hit that fourth course. We want you to taste that last pairing just as much as you tasted the first.” While wine and beer dinners are largely about various trips for the tastebuds, Marianacci sees another aspect to them. “It’s a great social thing. As an orator for many of the dinners I like to invite people to share their own experiences with wine. It really gets people talking and getting to know one another.”

Beer Pairings The combinations can seem endless when it comes to pairing beer with food, but certain guidelines can be followed. Craftbeer.com suggests: ••• Beer type: India Pale Ale Best with: spicy dinner meals or bold, sweet desserts More specifically: curry, ginger spice cake, Gorgonzola cheese ••• Beer type: Porter Best with: roasted or smoked foods. More specifically: barbecue, blackened fish, sausages

Beer type: Hefeweizen Best with: lighter fare More specifically: salads, sushi, seafood, strawberry shortcake ••• Beer type: Oktoberfest Best with: Mexican or any hearty food More specifically: jalapeno-laden dishes ••• Beer type: Pale ale Best with: Pretty much anything More specifically: Meat pie, burgers, bread pudding

Some people think of wine only in terms of white and red, but, of course, things can get more complicated than that. Winepairingchart.com has simplified the process of choosing within those two main categories. ••• Type of wine: Chardonnay (white) Best with: light dishes More specifically: lobster, white pizza, veal ••• Type of wine: Riesling/Pino Gris/ Grigio (white) Best with: dishes with a bit of kick More specifically: spicy sausage, Gouda cheese, chili peppers

Can’t get out to one of the upcoming beer or wine dinners? Fret not because the brewery and wineries of choice offer libations that are locally sold. Weyerbacher Brewing Company of Easton is in its 17th year of production. The company has rolled out fan favorites such as Blithering Idiot, Imperial Pumpkin Ale and Last Chance IPA, but another year-round favorite is Old Heathen. Old Heathen is an imperial stout that’s perfect for when the weather turns colder. The taste is that of a roast-like nature, with notes of chocolate. The Old Heathen is Weyerbacher’s interpretation of an 18thcentury England beer style that became a favorite among members of the Czar’s court because the beer was brewed with high alcohol content to prevent spoilage during long journeys. ••• OLD HEATHEN Brewed by: Weyerbacher Sold at: Goldstein’s Deli Type: Imperial stout Alcohol by volume: 8.0 percent ••• Straight out of Napa Valley to the dinner table comes masterfully crafted wine by Cakebread Cellars, a winery that has been in business 38 years. Cakebread makes many types of wine, but one of the most popular is its chardonnay, of which the 2010 stock is available in local Wine & Spirits stores A chardonnay is a white wine made from a green-skinned grape. The year 2010 brought about an Indian summer for Cakebread, making for grapes with concentrated flavors at lower sugar levels. This resulted in wines of low alcohol but rich flavors. The 2010 chardonnay boasts fruity aromas of apple, pear and citrus, as well as complementary vanilla and nutmeg scents due to oak aging. The apple and spice tastes come through on first sip. ••• 2010 CHARDONNAY Made by: Cakebread Cellars, California Sold at: Wine & Spirits, WilkesBarre Township Marketplace Price: $34.99

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

‘The Killing’ will not be returning to AMC Q. We all want to know if there is going to be another season of “The Killing.” A. Not on AMC. The network said in a statement that “After much deliberation, we’ve come to the difficult decision not to renew ‘The Killing’ for a third season.” The cliffhanger ending of the first season alienated many viewers expecting plot resolution, and the second season was often a bore. Still, the TVLine website has reported that both Netflix and DirecTV have considered picking up “The Killing,” which would make sense because Netflix has revived “Arrested Development” for telecast in 2013 and DirecTV kept “Friday Night Lights” and “Damages” alive. But I have not seen any official decision yet. Q. Is the guy who plays the chief of the SWAT team on “Flashpoint” the same one who has been on “Person of Interest” a couple of times? If so, who is he?

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

A. If you are referring to the actor who plays Gregory Parker on “Flashpoint,” that is Enrico Colantoni, who has also recurred on “Person of Interest” as mobster Carl Elias, also known as Charlie Burton. Born in Canada, Colantoni has been a frequent presence on U.S. television. He was Keith Mars on “Veronica Mars,” and photographer Elliott DiMauro on “Just Shoot Me,” for example. He was also Mathesar on the fantasy-comedy classic “Galaxy Quest.” Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need

to branch out to strangers now. Shake down your current circle of friends first, and get personal recommendations. Also, your friends will recommend you to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Problems spin in your head for a reason: so that you can experience them from all angles. Your subconscious process is magnificent, and there’s no reason why you should try to make it conscious at this point. Trust.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be

few instances in which it will be appropriate to share your opinions — e.g., not in someone else’s house, nor in general assembly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even the most adamant rules-followers will thrill to the reckless way you abandon certain constraints. You act as if you don’t care what anyone thinks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can gain insights from others, but when all is said and done, you learn best from experiencing life first-hand. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be made more aware of what brings you down and what brings you up. An air sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) will live up to

the reputation, bringing lighter spirits.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each person you

meet is a world connected to the world of other people on an endless chain. You’ll consciously work to keep your reputation in line with who you really are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wholesome aspirations hang low in the air inviting you to grab on, but so do a few other less-than-wholesome temptations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as nutritional needs are different from person to person, so are other kinds of needs. It takes emotional maturity not to impose your requirements on others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to be able to help everyone, and yet if you were to try, then the people who

most need your attention wouldn’t get very much of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not so strange that other people read your responses before you even realize you are responding. You are unself-conscious today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The universe seems to test your ability to keep your cool, but only because it’s preparing you for something bigger, something that will require the utmost patience. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 21). Over the next five weeks, a healing power soothes your sensitive soul. In November, you’ll be ready to play a bigger game professionally. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 1, 3, 24 and 19.

Weekend gardener nurtures plants more than his family Dear Abby: I am a 31-year-old wife and mother. My husband, “Jake,” works 40-plus hours a week, while I am a stay-at-home mom. My daughter, who is almost 3, keeps me on my toes. In the evenings and on weekends, Jake does yard work or works in the garden. I hate it because I’m with our daughter all day, every day, and he expects me to watch her while he’s outside working.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE I dislike yard and garden work and don’t like being outside unless I am completely comfortable. I also have health/physical issues that keep me from being as active as I would like. Every weekend I feel my resentment and anger growing over this issue. Jake says it is necessary for us to have a garden, and I agree. But why must I have all

the responsibility of caring for our daughter even on weekends? I’d like it if Jake would stay in with us and give up on some of the outside activities. This is something we argue about at least once a week. What do you suggest? — Second to a Shrub in Oregon Dear Second To A Shrub: While tending to the yard and the garden may be necessary, it is also very important for your husband to devote some time

to nurturing his relationship with his daughter. Mention that fact to him, and while you’re at it, tell him she should be at least as important to him as the tomato plants and the zinnias. You should not be saddled with all the child care responsibilities 24/7. Marriages are like gardens. If they’re not given care and feeding, they will wither as yours appears to be doing.

Hoffman has the right sense of pomp and authority to portray someone like Dodd, and he infuses the character with palpable humanity. But it’s Phoenix’s showy-butstrong performance that really burns itself into memory.

Notes on Music

The Alan Evans Trio will fill the River Street Jazz café with funk and blues sounds on Wednesday.

Jazz Cafe gets funky By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

IF YOU GO

ometimes the pieces just fall into place. That’s exactly what happened for Alan Evans of Soulive, the funk/jazz trio from New York that also consists of Neal Evans and Eric Krasno. The three have been on the music scene for quite some time, and, while Evans is more than ecstatic about its success, he found himself forming another trio as a side project. The Alan Evans Trio will fill the River Street Jazz café with funk and blues sounds on Wednesday. Evans will be joined by fellow musicians Beau Sasser (Melvin Sparks, Akashic Record) and Danny Mayer (On the Spot Trio) to form an organ trio. In a jazz context, an organ trio is a group of three jazz musicians that typically consists of a Hammond organ player, a drummer and either a jazz guitarist or a saxophonist. Sasser takes the organ role, while Mayer joins in with guitar and Evans lends his drumming skills.

••• Q: You’ve been a part of Soulive for quite some time now. What made you form a separate trio? A: Soulive has been together 15 years, and we’ve luckily gotten to

the point that we don’t have to tour any more, which is really nice, but I like to tour. I never really had plans to form another band; it just kind of fell together. ••• Q: How did you come to include Sasser and Mayer as part of the trio? A: Beau had an every-Wednesday gig in western Massachusetts, which is where we live, so whenever I wasn’t on the road he’d say, ‘Oh, come down and play,’ so I started doing that with him, and it was a lot of fun. It was always in the back of my head that maybe we could make something of this. I was producing an album for Danny’s band, and we were playing together, and it was just one of those lightbulb moments. We all get along really well and have a lot of fun, and all of a sudden I have another band. •••

Q: Alan Evans Trio released its debut album in April of this year, called “Drop Hop.” What does it sound like? A: Before even writing tunes for this album, my workout music was The Meters’ (a funk band) first album. It was my morning routine listening to that, so it was kind of always ingrained in my head, and all of a sudden it just came together when I sat down to write. It’s not meant to be a complete retro album, per se, but I did go for that kind of sound. It’s just my interpretation of their tunes, what I would have written if I was alive back then. It’s kind of like a timetraveling thing. ••• Q: What musicians influence you? A: When I was young and dumb this was easy to answer (laughs). But actually, no, it’s still very easy to answer – everything. When I was young I was really into Hendrix, Curtis Mansfield … It’s easy to name a couple people. But, honestly, everything I listen to influences me in some way. I might like it, or it may not be my thing, but no matter what there’s always something in there that I grab. I think it’s very important to be open-minded to all styles of music. I just love music.
